In reference to the saltwater being served at Great Bridge restaurants, I would like to commend the management and staff of Ruby Tuesday at Greenbrier. Ruby Tuesday has been buying purified water at their own expense and also buying canned drinks to serve to their customers. From their actions, it is quite clear that customers are important, and they go the extra mile.
This is in contrast to other restaurants in the Great Bridge area, who are allowing you to buy water at your own expense. One restaurant is selling bottled water for 99 cents, which they buy right down the street for 30 cents a bottle.
It is always nice to see businesses that care about their customers.

Martin Johnson Road Adding to grief
We lost our father suddenly and unexpectedly a week ago. We couldn't imagine that anything could add to our pain, but as our father's procession was en route from Kempsville to Forest Lawn Cemetery via Interstate 64, it was interrupted by unknown vehicles causing some out-of-town relatives and friends to exit behind them and ultimately getting lost and missing the graveside service and military honors.
In smaller cities, it is customary to pull over, slow down or remove one's hat out of respect. Why should living in a large city mean less respect for the deceased and their families?
To prevent this from happening to other grieving families, maybe we all could be a little more mindful of what is going on around us and be caring and respectful toward our neighbor. Also, the funeral directors could provide a small flag or marker for every vehicle in the procession.
Even though our hearts are saddened at the sudden passing of our loved one, we would like to bring attention to this problem and hope that by doing so, we can prevent this from happening again.

I am very interested in my community. In last night's paper, I learned that Deep Creek is about to become the home of the area's first gambling parlor. I have no idea what that is.
Since Chesapeake city officials are not holding a public hearing to explain, I would deeply appreciate it if your newspaper would run an article to inform residents of what to expect in 90 days.
