Go Natural at The Natural Grocer Woodbridge VA

Mr. Kim and Vitamins at The Natural Grocer

 

J C Kim (Mr. Kim to his regular customers) has owned and operated The Natural Grocer for the past 18 years along with his wife and niece, all three of whom are experts in the field.  This is impressive when you consider that there are more than 5,000 items available at The Natural Grocer.  It is also the cleanest health food store I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of them.

Arthur and I have shopped there for years.  In Arthur's case, The Natural Grocer has all of the unusual flours for his bread baking hobby that are not available anywhere else locally.  In my case, the shelves you see at the left above have more vitamins in more sizes than any other vitamin store in the area.

BulkFoods and Beverages at The Natural Grocer

At The Natural Grocer you will find vitams, herbs, homeopathic remedies, Wheat Free - Gluten Free Products and natural pet foods.  As can be seen above there are bulk fruits and nuts as well as frozen foods and prepared meals.

Additionally, the photo below shows The Natural Grocer beverage cooler as well as a representative aisle of all natural food products that are in stock

Beverages and Food Items At The Natural Grocer

The Natural Grocer also sells alternative products for allergies, asthma, arthritis, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, kidney, liver, memory, osteoporosis, skin, vision, stress, and thyroid.

Port Potomac Entrance Photos

Port Potomac is one of the newer communities being developed along the Route 1 corridor between Dale Boulevard and Route 234. It features a spectacular entry boulevard and wide streets throughout the community. The quote below was taken directly form the developer's Port Potomac description.

" The entrance to a community tells you much about the quality of life to be found within. Port Potomac greets you with the classic elegance of formal brick structures and manicured green lawns. The white columns and red brick of the Community Center, framed by a unique water feature are a perfect setting for one of the finest community recreational facilities you can find in Prince William."

Dale City, Woodbridge VA Homes For Sale and Real Estate Directory

Dale City Sign

Dale City was the inspiration of Cecil Don Hylton and his wife Irene. His firm, Hylton Homes began developing homes in Dale City west of I-95 at the conclusion of World War II. The construction stretched from I-95 west to Hoadly Road. Hylton Homes still builds homes in the immediate area.

Each section (community) along Dale Boulevard was given a name ending in Dale - they proceeded alphabetically from east to west.. Only "I" and "J" were omitted - they are Ashdale, Birchdale, Cloverdale, Darbydale, Evansdale, Forestdale, Glendale, Hillendale, Kerrydale, Lindendale, Mapledale, Nottingdale, Oakdale, Princedale, Ridgedale, Silverdale and Trentdale. All streets in each community had the first letter of that community's name as the first letter of its' name. For example, Hendrick St is in Hillendale.

  • Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge, Dale City and at the VDOT Commuter Lots throughout the Woodbridge area
  • Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lots - see Omnimatch for more specific details
  • Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop at a VDOT Commuter Lot . For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - win win!!
  • Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station or Rippon Station provides residents with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC - the stations are approximately a 20 minute drive from almost any Woodbridge location in the morning rush hour.
