I’m wondering – how do Crozetians describe their neighborhoods? If you’re interested, leave a description below.
Stabbing on Jarman’s Gap Last Weekend
I’m curious to know if there’s more to this story. From NBC29 on 14 February:
At around 11:00 p.m., Albemarle County Police investigated a reported stabbing at a home in the 1300 block of Blair Park Road, off Jarmans Gap Road.
I met someone this morning who related: that they had “heard that 5 police cars & rescue were lined up waiting to go in together. Speculated that it was a sting rather than response”
Hopefully we’ll find out more.

What Businesses Does Crozet Need? (in 2011)
We discussed this in 2007, but seeing as how someone came to RealCrozetVA the other day searching for “what businesses does Crozet need?” I figured we may have different needs now than we did then.
We now have a Chinese restaurant, Trailside Coffee has ice cream, Harris Teeter, and quite a bit more.
So, Crozetians, what do we need?
Crozet Trails Crew Is Positively Affecting Many Part of Crozet
Just have a look at their last agenda. And when they post the minutes from the meeting, you’ll see they’re working in Cory Farms, Grayrock, Mint Springs, Crozet Park.
If you have some free time, this is quite the worthy use of that time. (they’re meeting at Crozet Park this morning at 9)

I spent 20 30 minutes down the internet rabbit hole looking for these graphics and other such information:
From Broadband.gov: (note: 4Mbps is still sloowwww)
And this from Gizmodo:

I’m still working on a story at RealCentralVA.com about the potential impacts the FiberLight announcement will have on the citizens/denizens of Charlottesville, Albemarle, Greene, and the surrounding Counties.
Live Music Nearly 7 Days a Weeks at Fardowners
No, this isn’t an ad, just noticing that Fardowners is putting on quite a few live music nights in February.
Where else in Crozet is there live music?
Old Trail + Assisted Living Facility
Remember way back in 2008 when I told you about the assisted living facility coming to Old Trail?
It’s going to be a reality. Huge thanks to the Crozet Gazette:
Near it, on the east side of the village stores’ parking lot, will be a new 126-bed assisted living facility to be known as The Lodge at Old Trail. The facility will offer services ranging from basic to end-of-life care and memory care, all on a rental model. It is being built by David Hilliard, who has previously built and now operates two assisted living facilities in Vermont. The facility will have underground parking on its basement level, entered from behind the building, and that is being excavated now. There will be three floors above. Completion is expected in 18 months. The building was designed by local architects Russell Skinner and Richard “Jyke” Jones.
Beights Development formally transferred 48 acres, mainly lying along Lickinghole Creek, to Albemarle County in December to be the site of “Western Park.” Beights said he hopes the county will begin improvements soon. The transfer makes possible the creation of a walking path connecting Grayrock and other Jarmans Gap Road subdivisions to Henley Middle and Brownsville Elementary Schools.
