Chain retailers, that is. Thanks to Jonathan:Harris Teeter will soon be coming to Crozet. At least they’ll have a comprehensive wine selection, something that Great Valu has rapidly been expanding recently. Will people come from Waynesboro? As of the 2000 Census, 5,229 people lived in the 22932 zip code. People are continuing to move into Crozet, though.Heck, I’ve heard rumors about a CVS …
Civilization comes to Crozet
Some would say …Â Right across the street from Blue Ridge Builders’ Supply.Personally, my money will stay with Sal’s and Crozet Pizza, but that’s just me.

Crozet Community Association Meeting 09-14-2006
From the CCA listserv:The Crozet Community Association will hold its September meeting on the 14th at the Crozet Firehouse, beginning at 7:30 PM.Anyone desiring to be on the agenda should e-mail me at dfwayl AT earthlink DOT net with your request.We take no pleasure in reporting that Arlyn Newcombe, our extremely capable secretary, has had to submit her resignation. Arlyn was a wonderful secretary who kept excellent minutes of our meetings. We need a volunteer to take Arlyn’s place for this meeting and November’s, when we will hold elections. Please, someone, can you help out!?I have asked Mike Marshall to preside at the September meeting, as I will be unable to attend. Sorry. Note: I have also added this meeting to the Google Calendar. If you have any upcoming events, please email me.
Petition to save Downtown Crozet
76 People signed. If Crozetians want to “save” Downtown Crozet, they will need to aim higher – think over one thousand people, and even then there is little assurance that the BoS will listen. More interesting to me is how these residents distributed this petition. If they distributed it “offline,” they hurt themselves. If they did it online, it seems it didn’t get much support. How better could one market such a (or any other) petition?Last month’s Crozet Gazette (PDF) has a nice editorial about Downtown Zoning.
Over the mountain
We went over Afton Mountain last night to stock up for the upcoming storm. Fourteen minutes from my house to the grocery store. Explain to me, please, why gas at Martin’s grocery store is $2.49 (and then I got a .10 discount for a total of $2.39/gallon!) and gas here in Crozet is anywhere from $2.77 to $2.89/gallon.
Have a spare soccer field?
The girls’ team I coach is in need of a field – the offerings in Western Albemarle seem to have become more sparse and the competition more intense. Anybody know of a spare soccer field – or even an open, level field that we could use?
Mountain biking in Crozet area?
I know that the Crozet area has a reputation for being an excellent area for mountain biking, but, not being a mountain biker myself, and having had the question posed to me yesterday – Where does one mountain bike in the Crozet/Western Albemarle area?
Crozet Calendar
I have added a Google Calendar to the sidebar. If you have an event – a yard sale, HOA party, Farmers’ Market, etc. that you would like the community to be aware of, please email me. If you want a Gmail account, you may email me for one of those as well.
