Awning Damaged and Removed at Whistlestop Grill/Barbershop Building

Written by

An accident has changed the look of Crozet Avenue. From around 1:30pm on Wednesday to around 9pm or so, Crozet Avenue was closed to remove the truck and the awning.

What a shame, and what a horrible thing to happen to Whistlestop’s outdoor seating.

Route 240 is now open. The scene is clear.

Yep. Truck still there. Just went around and Crozet Ave closed in both directions. It is going to be a huge traffic mess very soon. Cars already going up library ave and the square way too fast.
