A few of my open tabs that I’ve been mulling over for the past few days — a friend suggested that I add a “what I’m reading” section to my monthly note; I’m going to start that section today on the blog. This makes a lot of sense, particularly after some recent data challenges I’ve seen – NJ real estate team to ask clients to…
Wegman’s Fellow Tenants Announced
“Field & Stream, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Mattress Warehouse, Panera Bread, Lee Nails, PetSmart, Great Clips, Hair Cuttery, Jersey Mikes, Sprint and the Virginia ABC.”

How Will Albemarle Grow?
Charlottesville Tomorrow reports that Albemarle’s Board of Supervisors are going to vote in September on whether to expand the growth area by 82 acres to the southwest of US 29 and 64.

First, in commenting on the closure of one of my all-time favorite Charlottesville restaurants, Eppie’s, which closed not from lack of business but from the owners wanting to do other things came this remark from the owner of the now-closed Cappellino’s Cupcakes: “It got to…
The Charlottesville Look Back
There are times when Charlottesville feels like a big, massive city. More often than not, there are times when Charlottesville feels like a big, massive city.

A client* described this as “the Charlottesville look back.” The Charlottesville Lookback: That time when you’re at dinner, and you start to have a conversation with your…
