A comment on RealCrozetVA about Old Trail’s pool:

I just drove though Old Trail today and saw the wonderful pool that is not open to my family. I have lived in Crozet all of my life and thought how nice it was going to be to have Old Trail Village open to us. I am very sad to know that was just a lie. Just gate the place off and apply for your own zip code!

A sad note from Twitter:

Crozet used to be safe enough to leave your car unlocked & run into a store…not anymore,credit card/atm/license stolen out of my car @ DQ!

Everything is a political or marketing opportunity for someone – this instance is the $8k tax credit for first time homebuyers.

Crozet Mudhouse – Opening Party

Crozet Mudhouse

I still need to confirm when they are opening, but I believe that their hours will be the same as in Downtown Charlottesville … 7 am to 10 pm … Crozet is going to have a nightlife!

Fireworks Canceled in Crozet

Huge thanks to WCAV for this story:

Lake Monticello and Crozet canceled their fireworks shows this year simply because they cannot afford to put them on. Crozet officials say last year the fireworks for the show cost them $6,000. And this year, their supplier said the price went up to $10,000. Officials say the price jump proved to be too much for local businesses who donate the money for the fireworks.

Personally, I am sad.

It’s a shame there was no public outreach this year for the fireworks. I have some ideas but cannot pull it off on my own … if anyone is interested in fundraising or helping in any way, please let me know.

Crozet – I’ll bet we can raise the $10k by March of 2010 … what say you?

Crozet Mudhouse in C-Ville Weekly

C-Ville profiles the forthcoming Crozet Mudhouse.

When this vintage building on the intersection of Three-Notch’d Road and Crozet Avenue whose storied history includes, among other things, being a railroad hotel and the town grocery with a real soda fountain, opened up they knew they’d found the right location for their longtime interest in expanding to Crozet and making a coffeehouse/community meeting space for “fluid social interaction,” says Lawrence.
