Virginia Beach Feed (Driver Store) is nested in the
Driver Train Station.
They have vegetable seeds, seed potatoes and plants, in addition to all of your lawn needs, including fertilizers, grass seed and lime.
In addition to that they have nice concrete statues, and
concrete birdbaths and fountains.
Ask them about
Claybuster, the amazing product that looses the soil, allowing more water to penetrate the ground surface.
"The little store with a whole lot more", and just as the name implies, they've got feed for all your animals and all the seed you need. They also carry in-season produce and plants and are a full line garden center.

Gardening Tips
 
Railroad Crossing Signs and Signals
There are several signs, signals and pavement markings that
indicate highway-railroad crossings. When you see one of them,
slow down and be ready to stop.
REMEMBER:
Trains cannot stop quickly. An average freight train
traveling at 30 MPH needs a stopping distance of more than
half a mile. Longer trains moving at faster speeds can take
one and a half miles or more to stop.
Any pedestrian or person driving a vehicle and approaching a
railroad-highway grade crossing must stop 50 feet, but not
less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of the railroad when:
the electrical or mechanical warning devices are flashing, the
crossing gate is lowered, a human flagger is warning of an
approaching train, or an approaching train is clearly visible
and is in close proximity to the railroad-highway grade
crossing. Do not proceed until you can do so safely.
PAVEMENT MARKING
Pavement markings, consisting of an RXR followed by a stop
line closer to the tracks, may be painted on the paved
approach to a crossing.
ADVANCE WARNING SIGN
The advance warning sign is usually the first sign you see
when approaching a highway-rail intersection. The advance
warning sign advises you to slow down, look and listen for a
train, and be prepared to stop if a train is approaching.
CROSSBUCK SIGN
Crossbuck signs are found at highway-rail intersections.
They are yield signs. You are legally required to yield the
right of way to trains. Slow down, look and listen for a
train, and stop if a train approaches. Railroad crossbuck
signs are found at most crossings. If there is more than one
track, the sign below the crossbuck will show the number of
tracks at the crossing.
FLASHING RED LIGHT SIGNALS
At many highway-rail crossings, the crossbuck sign has
flashing red lights and bells. When the lights begin to
flash, stop! A train is approaching. DO NOT STOP ON
THE TRACKS OR WITHIN 15 FEET OF THE CROSSING. If
there is more than one track, make sure all tracks are clear
before crossing. Do not move forward until you can do so
safely. In heavy traffic make sure there is room for your
vehicle on the other side before starting to cross.
GATES
Many crossings have gates with flashing red lights and
bells. Stop when the lights begin to flash and before the
gate lowers across your road lane. If the gates are down,
the road is closed. It is against the law to drive around or
under a crossing gate, either down or being opened or
closed. Do not move forward until the gates are
raised and the lights stop flashing as there may be a train
approaching on an adjacent track.
Always approach highway-railroad crossings at a reasonable
speed and be prepared to stop if you have to. Be especially
alert when you are following buses or trucks, which may have
to stop at highway-railroad crossings even when gates are up
and the warning lights are not flashing. If your car stalls on
the tracks don’t hesitate. Get yourself and your passengers
out and away from the car immediately. If a collision is
imminent, the safest direction is toward the train but stay
off the tracks. That way you will be least likely to be hit by
your vehicle or any debris from the collision.
