I’m curious to know if there’s more to this story.
… At around 11:00 p.m., Albemarle County Police investigated a reported stabbing at a home in the 1300 block of Blair Park Road, off Jarmans Gap Road. I met someone this morning who related : that they had “heard that 5 police cars & rescue were lined up waiting to go in together. Speculated that it was a sting rather than response” Hopefully we’ll find out more.
Megan Davis has a really interesting story in today’s Daily Progress looking inside the Crozet Tunne l. Check out this map of the four Tunnels , courtesy of Clann Mhór!
Of course, if you’ve been reading RealCrozetVA for a while, you’ve read about it before , most recently last year when they told us that it was closed .
We discussed this in 2007 , but seeing as how someone came to RealCrozetVA the other day searching for “what businesses does Crozet need?” I figured we may have different needs now than we did then. We now have a Chinese restaurant, Trailside Coffee has ice cream, Harris Teeter, and quite a bit more. So, Crozetians, what do we need ?
Just have a look at their last agenda . And when they post the minutes from the meeting, you’ll see they’re working in Cory Farms, Grayrock, Mint Springs, Crozet Park. If you have some free time, this is quite the worthy use of that time. (they’re meeting at Crozet Park this morning at 9 )
Subject : Question about naming Library Avenue Week before last you [CCAC] asked us [county staff] to provide some info on how Library Avenue goes about getting that name. … Question : What steps are necessary to have the County assign “Library Avenue” as the name for the street shown on the Master Plan as “Main Street”??… Answer : Since the street is under construction by the County and there are no existing buildings on the street, County staff can and will assign the name “Library Avenue” to the street without any further action by the CCAC or by the Board of Supervisors. … It is important to note that the length of the street named “Library Avenue” will ultimately be dependent on the route it takes through the redeveloped Bruce Barnes Lumber Company property and how it connects to adjoining properties.
It’s a pretty street.
Members of the White Hall community are invited to attend a meeting this week to discuss the need for high-speed Internet in the area.

No, this isn’t an ad, just noticing that Fardowners is putting on quite a few live music nights in February. Where else in Crozet is there live music?
Huge thanks to the Crozet Gazette : Near it, on the east side of the village stores’ parking lot, will be a new 126-bed assisted living facility to be known as The Lodge at Old Trail. The facility will offer services ranging from basic to end-of-life care and memory care, all on a rental model. It is being built by David Hilliard, who has previously built and now operates two assisted living facilities in Vermont. The facility will have underground parking on its basement level, entered from behind the building, and that is being excavated now.
From a reader: I was checking out CSA listings at Local Harvest , and was disappointed by not many listings and many that *were* there were outdated! So if you know of ANY CSA (community supported agriculture) in the area (Charlottesville/Crozet/Central VA), no matter how small, please respond here and I will make a listing of them. Let’s support our local farmers – especially the ones just getting started! … Personally, I usually search at the Buy Fresh, Buy Local site , but would much prefer recommendations.
