You should learn about Waynesboro (Crozet is in their market area anyway).Take 64 West for about 17 minutes and take Exit 94…. In a recent poll on RealCrozetVA, 31% of people shopped exclusively in Waynesboro.The people at the Home Depot in Waynesboro (I assume they are at Lowe’s, too) genuinely want to help you find what you are looking for…. There’s a Martin’s grocery store (a Giant derivative), Super Wal-mart, drive-through Starbucks, and so much more. So much that as soon as the Target opens, you’ll forget all about 29 North.For those of you who regularly go to Waynesboro, what do you like the most?
