FREDERICKSBURG, Va. The pandemic has brought a lot of hardships for people, especially for some small businesses. But even during a difficult time, a quaint coffee shop in Downtown Fredericksburg is spreading joy. Anita Crossfield opened Italian Station four years ago. The community of Fredericksburg is a small community with such a huge heart, said Crossfield.

Amanda Trainham wanted me to shine a light on a local little café spot by her in in Fredericksburg, Virginia, called Italian Station.
One day about 3 weeks ago, someone came in and decided to pay it forward by paying for the order of the person after them. Super simple, very sweet gesture.
Well, that person was touched and decided to pay it forward…and then again….and then again….
Owner Anita Crossfield thought maybe it would last for a few hours, but incredible enough, we are on their third week straight of this kindness! It won’t stop!
