Yes, take exit 73. To the best of my knowledge, there is no light at the street where you turn to go to Shoneys, etc. Don't turn there or go up on the hill...continue on until you get to the first light....approximately 2 blocks on down that street, which is Main Street. Ocean Bay is on the left side of the street. I have a map of the area. If you will send your e-mail address, I will scan it and send it to you.

Norma: You're right. There's no light where I thought it was - but there really needs to be. I know where the restaurant is now - just had to program my brain. Thanks for the offer, but I really don't need a Wytheville map. I made my first trip through there in 1941 - on a train. We lived in Radford and my grandparents lived in Chilhowie, so we used to have to go through Wytheville on old Route 11 every time we went down. We still do (often) stay in Wytheville since it's fairly central to all of our kin down there, and Wytheville is only 6 hours via I77 north to our place. Thanks!
