You know you’ve wondered as you’ve driven by the Gateway Market BBQ at the corner of 24 and 250 … It’s good bbq. $4.99 ($5.49 with tax) for a generous BBQ sandwich on a white bun with slaw. The owners couldn’t be friendlier, either. See …

Congratulations, WAHS!

Crozet Fireworks – Some Money Raised, More Needed

In Crozet by Jim3 Comments

Just over $6,000 has been raised, but several thousand more are needed. If you can, please donate to support the fireworks. Think about this – Charlottesville isn’t doing fireworks this year; won’t this be cool to be able to pull off what they aren’t?

Claudius Place Elevations – Public Comment Wanted

In Crozet by Jim16 Comments

I’m posting these without much comment as I wanted to get them up today. The developer, Katurah Roell , has asked for Crozetians’ comments, thoughts, insights on these designs.

As I am fond of saying, speak now or forever hold your peace* I suggest downloading the PDFs directly: – Claudius Place Northeast Elevation – Claudius Place West & South Elevations – Claudius Place Site Plan Or see them on Scribd: Claudius Place Site Plan (function() { var scribd = document.createElement(“script”); scribd.type = “text/javascript”; scribd.async = true; scribd.src = “http://www.scribd.com/javascripts/embed_code/inject.js”; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(“script”)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(scribd, s); })(); – East Elevation – East Elevations * In other words, if you don’t take the time to involve yourself now, your credibility is limited when you complain after the fact.

If you know whose cows these are, we’d appreciate your letting them know where they are.

Note: This is not a common occurrence … they’ve been appearing just for the past few days.
