Crozet's community blog
I try to tag all of my photos with “Crozet” for my own organizational purposes but also so that they show up in the slideshow at the top of RealCrozetVA. It’s amazing what you’ll find in the Crozet photostream.
Mobile photo-taking is huge; it makes “reporting” from the street so much more possible. I know this – I wouldn’t take nearly as many photos of Crozet (or anywhere) if I had to lug around a dedicated camera everywhere.
… just wish you would define just where is “RealCrozet”:) Don’t you go including Greenwood, Freetown, Brownsville, or White Hall when you try to keep us up to date of the areas activities. 🙂
From Downtown Crozet to Old Trail to 250 West, to Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton and some points west, to Freetown to Batesville Store, to Beaver Creek, to the White Hall Store, to Chiles Orchard. And anywhere else that piques my interest or touches Crozet.
If so, now is your chance to show it.
If not, my feelings won’t be hurt. Much.
RealCrozetVA has a new comment system that allows for a new and slightly different form of commenting.
You can:
– subscribe to discussions easier,
– sign in using twitter, facebook, etc.
– rate comments (this could be interesting)
– attach your photo to the comment
– responses from twitter are now shown.
Comments welcome. 🙂
The title says what I’m looking for – someone to do a video of the Crozet Christmas Parade. I’ll even loan you the HD video camera. If you’re interested (aren’t there video courses at Western Albemarle High School?) please contact me.
I spend a lot of time on my phone, and a lot of time online on my phone, so it was natural that I make RealCrozetVA more mobile friendly.
Better yet, you’re mobile and see something interesting, say, a truck on fire in the parking lot of The Square, take a picture and send it to me.
I’ve asked a couple of times over the years for folks to write at RealCrozetVA.
In 2005. And in 2008. And yesterday someone actually emailed me and asked if they could submit a story.
Short answer: Yes. Please do write for RealCrozetVA.
Slightly longer answer from 2008:
The goal remains the same now as it did then – to provide a forum for Crozetians to learn about and discuss growth issues, cultural events, news … whatever the community dictates. A lot has changed, and a lot remains the same.
While this is a “hyper-local” blog and I’m sure I could do some things to get business from it (I happen to be a Realtor), getting business was never the goal.
The offer to the community remains – if you want to write for RealCrozetVA, please let me know. At the very least, I’d appreciate your telling your friends about this site.
Admittedly, the glory and fame is overwhelming, but if you’re up to the challenge, and can stand to spell correctly and use correct grammar, please let me know if you would like to write for the site.
But don’t have the time to put it together. Are there any enterprising students at Western Albemarle High School who are interested in writing a story or two for RealCrozetVA? Maybe a journalism student? If you’re interested, please contact me.
Something happened. Something that could have been devastatingly awful and bad. This blog died/disappeared/went kaput this afternoon.
Luckily, I had a backup of my blog’s database and the kind folks at Blue Ridge Internetworks (who graciously provide hosting for RealCrozetVA) were able to get us back to a basic working order, and now the rebuilding, re-tweaking, re-doing begins.
Please bear with me; it may take a few days to get everything back to where it should be.
I upgraded the design theme for RealCrozetVA; hopefully there are no bugs or problems, but if you find some, please let me know in the comments or via my contact form, or by chatting with me in the sidebar. If all goes well (as I expect it will) I will be upgrading RealCentralVA this week too.
