One of the owners here is affectionately known as the donut lady. Honestly, I can’t think of a better job title in all of Virginia. The donuts carry that nickname for a reason. Blueberry cake, applesauce, and classic glazed are some of the big names. On weekends, the line can stretch right out the door.

What Those Tiny Blood Spots Suddenly Appearing on Virginia Bed Sheets Could Mean

The first sign of a possible bedroom pest problem is not always a crawling insect.
