Annabelle's Match Book ~~ 1970s

Annabelle's was one of my favorite restaurants in Petersburg in the 1970s.  It was two stories and I loved to get a table upstairs.  I clearly remember ordering their lasagne most of the time and I also remember enjoying their Reuben sandwiches.  They were the first place I had been to that served iced tea in a mason jar!  The building is still there but the restaurant has been closed for about 20 years.

Stratford Inn Matchbox ~~ 1990s

Grandpa would always stay at the Stratford Inn when he was visiting Danville before moving back in the early 1970s.  We stayed there on a visit sometime around 1995 and the inn and restaurant were very nice.  Good food!  I think they underwent some major renovations in the last few years and are back open for business.

Kristy's Coffee Shop Matchbook ~~ 1982

Another souvenir from one of my parents' cross country road trips ~~ I did a search online and found they are still open for business!

Navigator's Den Matchbook ~~ Late 1960s

The Navigator's Den was a very nice seafood restaurant that overlooked the Appomattox River in Hopewell.  My parents used to go back in the late 1960s and early 1970s for dinner and a movie afterwards.  From what I could gather online, the restaurant was open until around 2000 and another restaurant has opened in the same building.
