Charlottesville Tomorrow has become a leading source for information about the decision-making process in local governments. We spoke with director Brian Wheeler last fall, shortly after the organization began work.
Places 29 public meetings to be held this week
 |
Albemarle County’s Places 29 initiative continues this week with an open house on Thursday, May 18 and an all-day workshop on Saturday. Both events will be held at Sutherland Middle School. The project is at a critical phase – three frameworks offering three different alternatives for how to plan land use and transportation infrastructure will be critiqued by attendees. I stopped by the Albemarle County Executive Building on Tuesday to speak with Albemarle County senior planner Judith Wiegand and Harrison Rue of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District to find out more.
I also stopped by and spoke with Brian Wheeler of Charlottesville Tomorrow to get more perspective on Places 29. To learn more about the initiative before you go, visit Charlottesville Tomorrow’s Places 29 page.
The Woolen Mills through the lens of Bill Emory

Charlottesville is going through a dramatic period of transformation, caused by the region’s quality of life and a general rise in housing prices. This has forced the evolution of the city’s historic neighborhoods, including the Woolen Mills area, just to the east of the downtown mall. In this second in our continuing series on Charlottesville area bloggers, photographer Bill Emory takes us on a tour of the neighborhood. He’s taking a visual inventory of what the area looks like today to make sure it’s still there tomorrow.
You can read more on the Woolen Mills area here. This piece is supported in part by the Charlottesville Daily Progress, our news partner.
Our series of conversations with Charlottesville bloggers began with a talk with Chris and Darlene Bruce, the folks behind Eat Air, a blog about vegan cooking.
Vegan Cooking with Chris and Darlene Bruce
 Hash with Spinach and Mushrooms (Chris Bruce) |
We’re happy to begin a new series of conversations with Central Virginia bloggers here on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network. As you may know, the area has been seeded with many blogs thanks to the work of Waldo Jaquith. His aggregator, cvilleblogs.com, has encouraged many people and organizations to start their own in order to give voice to their interests, pastimes, and cultures.
We begin our series with a talk with Chris and Darlene Bruce, the authors of Eat Air, a weblog about vegan cooking. Since November of last year, the couple have been posting recipes to encourage others to consider a vegan diet, which means no animal products. After our talk, I listened in as Chris cooked a hash with mushrooms and spinach and Darlene made banana oat bundles.

Robert O’Neill on the 2006 Muzzle Awards
I got generic Ambien on https://www.good-buy-insomnia.com/ and was quite happy with the service I received. They have convenient ambien price comparison chart. It is very useful.
Today is Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, which means the Center for Free Expression that bears his name has released a new batch of Muzzle Awards, given to organizations and individuals that the center feels has somehow violated the spirit of the First Amendment in the past year. I recently stopped by the Center to speak with director Robert O’Neill about this year’s

Slowpoke’s Jen Sorensen on the Cartoon Crisis
 |
The outcry among many in the Muslim community over images of the prophet Mohammed continues to smoulder. It isn’t often that a cartoon can prompt such a reaction. Jen Sorensen, the Charlottesville-based creator of Slowpoke Comics, says the biggest negative reaction she got is when an offended reader offered to pay for her retirement. Sean Tubbs recently met with Sorensen at Court Square Tavern for a chat about her work and her take of the cartoon crisis.
An Interview with Delegate-elect David Toscano
The Virginia General Assembly convenes tomorrow for a new session, and this year, there will be seventeen new faces in the House of Delegates. One of them is David Toscano, recently elected to serve the 57th District. Sean Tubbs spoke with Toscano on Sunday to find out how he was preparing to become a legislator, the differences between the Charlottesville City Council and the legislature, and to find out what bills Toscano has filed for the session.
This piece kicks off a new feature on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network- Charlottesville Interviews. In the weeks to come, we hope to bring you conversations with a number of people in and outside Central Virginia.
The Many Faces of Jane Eyre
 |
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the death of Charlotte Bronte, the author who gave millions of school children something to read with the publication of Jane Eyre. The novel is one of the most common in the English language, and the Rare Book School is honoring Bronte with a look at the ubiquitous nature of this classic in a special exhibit in the Rotunda called Eyre Apparent, which features a look at the depth at which the novel has penetrated pop culture, and to show that there’s much more to a book than its text.
Barbara Heritage is curator of collections at the Rare Book School. I met her recently at Alderman Library while she was putting the exhibit together and asked her to describe a shelf containing much in the way of Eyre paraphrenalia.
Thanksgiving Story from Doctor Greg Gelburd
One thing we could perhaps all be mindful of this Thanksgiving is the work of the many doctors, nurses and other public servants who respond to the country’s disasters. Doctor Greg Gelburd was part of the Starlight Express bus company’s trip to the Gulf Coast for its Katrina relief initiative. I spoke with him yesterday in his practice, and he told me turned to writing to help deal with his emotions upon returning home.
Dr. Gelburd talks at the end of this report about the work of Building Goodness. Please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause.
Sorensen training Virginia’s next leaders
Now that the election is over, attention in Richmond will now turn towards starting the next chapter in Virginia’s political history. For the past dozen years, the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership has been giving staffers and elected officials detailed courses on how to be civil while navigating the ins and outs of the capitol. Each year, 35 people from around the state are chosen by the non-partisan Sorensen to attend a ten-month program on becoming a political leader for Virginia.
Tom Morgan Talks the Roots of Jazz
Hurricane Katrina displaced over a million people all around the country, the nation’s greatest diaspora to date. One man who fled the Crescent City was Tom Morgan, a former Charlottesville bartender and WTJU jazz host. He’s the author of several books on the roots of jazz, and also a radio fixture in New Orleans. After Katrina, he was able to produce his program for WWOZ, thanks to the Internet.
Morgan spent part of his exile from the damaged city in Charlottesville, a place where he began his quest to become a jazz musicologist. Dave Sagarin from George Loper’s website interviewed him on October 15, shortly before he went back home.
This podcast was sponsored by George Loper’s website, which focuses on local issues, be they political, social, economic or religious.
Along the Rivanna Trail with Diana Foster
The Rivanna Trail loops around Charlottesville and Albemarle county, almost exclusively along privately-owned land. Hikers trek across pathways cared for by a couple hundred volunteers. The rustic trail is the best place to get away from it all without leaving the city, a fact that is increasingly recognized by developers, landowners, and government officials.
That’s a far cry from the early days of the trail, according to Diana Foster. She’s the past president of the Rivanna Trail Foundation, which runs the 20-mile pathway. Currently about 18 miles of the loop have been built, with another five miles of companion trails.
Every November, Foster leads a one-day trek around the trail to draw attention to the natural beauty of the urban wilderness. I recently took a much smaller trip with Foster through a small section of the Rivanna trail from Jordan park in southeast Charlottesville, to Fifth Street near the Willoughby section of town. I asked Foster to tell me about the ultimate goals of the Rivanna Trail Foundation.
