COUNTRY COME TO TOWN: Norfolk County Feed and Seed on Airline Boulevard is bringing a touch of country to the Midtown area.
The store is selling Bergey's Dairy Farm items, including milk products in glass bottles and country butter. In addition, the store has added a full line of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
The store is open 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
NEW SHOP: Secrets, a new consignment shop, is open at 4399 Portsmouth Blvd.
The shop deals mainly in women's clothing. It is owned and operated by Pamela Stone and Norma Hale.
Located adjacent to Dail's Hardware, the store is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
REAL ESTATE: Rose and Krueth Realty Corp., South Hampton Roads' third-largest real estate broker, has opened its newest resale office and its seventh in Hampton Roads in Portsmouth.
The office at 5907 West Norfolk Road is managed by Chris Whicker. Others on the staff include Vicki Holasek, Irene Evans, Renate Gibbs, Bert Morrison and Helen Sheaves.
J. Van Rose Jr., president of the company founded in 1973, said the office complements ``the surge of real estate activity in Portsmouth, around Churchland and Western Branch and along the I-664 corridor.''
``We needed to expand in Portsmouth to meet the ever-increasing demand for residential real estate services in that area.''
TAX CREDITS: Businesses who donate cash, goods or services to the new Portsmouth Community Health Center will receive Virginia tax credits.
The center has been approved by the Virginia Department of Social Services to participate in the Neighborhood Assistance Program.
The center already is designated as charitable and not for profit by the Internal Revenue Service, so donations are now twice deductible.
Businesses will receive a state tax credit equal to 50 percent of the amount of any donation of $100 or more. Individual private donors cannot qualify for tax credits but may deduct the full amount of donations from both state and federal taxes.
The center opened in May at 664 London St. to provide medical care to Portsmouth residents regardless of their ability to pay.
Executive Director John Schalk said that although the center receives support from the U.S. Public Health Services, donations from businesses and individuals, as well as revenue from Medicare and Medicaid, are ``necessary to sustain operations.''
