This is how I showed houses last week – from the comfort of my office. Technology is fun. When it works.
This phase of the process was all about eliminating geographical areas of Charlottesville-Albemarle. Once we accomplished that phase, we were able to have a much more productive time in the car.
This will be interesting to watch.
Brendan Fitzgerald at C-Ville reports:
A $3.5 million lawsuit filed by the Forest Lakes Community Association (FLCA) and the Hollymead Citizens Association against some of Albemarle County’s most prominent developers may grow in scope and cost. A lawyer with the Richmond-based Environmental Law Group told C-VILLE last week that the lawsuit, which names Wendell Wood’s United Land Corporation as well as companies tied to Virginia Land Company founder Charles Hurt, will be updated before the year’s end.
One of the best things to take from this lawsuit (particularly for those relocating to the area) is that the Forest Lakes neighborhood has a very active community; have a look at their newsletters (November’s discusses the lawsuit) to get some insight into the conversations and activities they have.
Very, very cool. Nearly 400 very smart square feet. (photo used with permission) I want one. Anyone in Charlottesville wanna build one? (hat tip: Boing Boing)
Oh, Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree:
Where do you get Christmas trees in (around) Charlottesville?
The place where we used to cut ours when I was a kid is now a subdivision.
Here are a few where you can cut your own:
– Ralph’s Christmas Trees in Nelson County
– Foxfire Farm in Buckingham County
– Bit-O-Honey Farm in Fishersville
– An aggregate site for pick your own Christmas trees
– Greene Meadows Farm in Greene County
– Kris Kringle’s Tree Farm in Nelson County
(The ones in Nelson get my vote as they’re on the Brew Ridge Trail)
And here are a few favorites for pre-cut Christmas trees –
– The Ivy Store on 250 West
– Boy Scouts’ locations all around town (we frequently get ours in from the ones in Crozet)
– AM Fog in Nelson (just before Blue Mountain Brewery on 151)
– In Albemarle Square, they have trees and are a local family that has been selling trees and wreaths for over 100 years
