Just a quick Googling and it looks like there are acouple of jazz clubs/ restaurants that have jazz. But none on Sunday. In fact two of the joints aren't even OPEN on Sunday, which doesn't bode well for the Blue Law scene.
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

| | | | Petersburg is a fantastic little town. There are several world renown motor lodges there that have in room movies and vibrating beds.
If you are lucky they wont have run out of last weeks Doughnuts for morning breakfast.
Usually the in room entertainment with Rosie is the Truckers choice.
Can you stop in Richmond? Better fo sho. |

And in the decrepit days of my elderly old ancientness, I AIN'T gonna drive more than 6 hours in one day.
I guess it's one handed TV...

Mr. Toad implies, definitely cheaper than Richmond though.
A lot of historical stuff, if you're into that. Good restaraunts in Colonial heights (10 minutes away) Since this is only a Pit stop for you, I would say relax,old man,  and take a walk around.

The fotos of Old Towne Petersburg look nice, I don't know how close thats' gonna be to where I am. I'll have my bass if'n you want to do some duos....

There are several nice hotels at exit 44 off of 95.If yer lookin' for something fancy to drink, the closest liquor store is on Crater road. Otherwise, you can get wine and beer at the supermarkets here. Also at Wal Mart!
In old town, you could check out Wabi-Sabi, sometimes there's some stuff going on there. I'd like to be your tour guide, but I'm playing a private party that night.

I'm really staying at the TravelLodge, I'm trying to keep expenses under what I'm collecting for them if ya get my drift. I won't have e-mail or anything while I'm gone, but I'm doing the reverse trip a week later (overnight on the 22nd).
According to the website WabiSabi is open for brunch but closed for dinner Sundays.
