A comment on RealCrozetVA about Old Trail’s pool:

A sad note from Twitter:

Crozet used to be safe enough to leave your car unlocked & run into a store…not anymore,credit card/atm/license stolen out of my car @ DQ!

Everything is a political or marketing opportunity for someone – this instance is the $8k tax credit for first time homebuyers.

Brief Notes for 2009-07-05

I still need to confirm when they are opening, but I believe that their hours will be the same as in Downtown Charlottesville … 7 am to 10 pm … Crozet is going to have a nightlife!

Crozet Mudhouse – Opening Party

Huge thanks to WCAV for this story:

Lake Monticello and Crozet canceled their fireworks shows this year simply because they cannot afford to put them on. Crozet officials say last year the fireworks for the show cost them $6,000. And this year, their supplier said the price went up to $10,000. Officials say the price jump proved to be too much for local businesses who donate the money for the fireworks.

Personally, I am sad.

It’s a shame there was no public outreach this year for the fireworks. I have some ideas but cannot pull it off on my own … if anyone is interested in fundraising or helping in any way, please let me know.

Crozet – I’ll bet we can raise the $10k by March of 2010 … what say you?

Fireworks Canceled in Crozet

C-Ville profiles the forthcoming Crozet Mudhouse.

When this vintage building on the intersection of Three-Notch’d Road and Crozet Avenue whose storied history includes, among other things, being a railroad hotel and the town grocery with a real soda fountain, opened up they knew they’d found the right location for their longtime interest in expanding to Crozet and making a coffeehouse/community meeting space for “fluid social interaction,” says Lawrence.

Brief Notes for 2009-06-28

Someone asked me via the RealCrozetVA meebo widget last night:

Does anyone know how to get to the western entrance of the Crozet tunnel by Waynesboro?"

Here are the answers I have found so far –

Notes from Cville:

To get to the Waynesboro entrance, park alongside 250 at the train bridge overpass between Rockfish Gap and Waynesboro. (We parked just beyond the guardrail on the Waynesboro side. It seems a little sketchy but there was another car there when we left.) There is a dirt road next to the overpass that leads up toward the tunnel. It’s on the Waynesboro side of the bridge on the southern side of the road. It quickly leads up to the tracks. Cross there and then pick up the trail on the other side. Follow it until you get to the tunnel. About a 100 feet from the entrance you’ll feel cold air.
…

The other end of the tunnel is simpler to access. From Waynesboro, head back over the mountain on 250. Take a right on 6 toward Afton. Take a right on Afton Depot Lane before the tracks. Pass the old train station on the left, now an attorney’s office. Take the road to the end where there’s a spot to park. Follow the dirt road/path to the other end of the tunnel.

Curbplaces:

After we had seen the Afton side we went to the Waynesboro side of the tunnel.  We parked at the animal hospital off 250 after you pass 64 and walked from there (they have a nice little bridge that leads over the creek.)  You have to cross 250 to get onto the trail.  There isn’t much of a trail leading to the tunnel and there were thorn bushes everywhere.  I have some nice cuts even through my jeans from the thorns.

If you happen to go to the Blue Ridge Tunnel, please let us know!

… Naturally I asked on Twitter, and the winning response goes to @justincbeck:

@JimDuncan I know how to get to the east entrance… I suppose you can get to the west entrance from there…

Brief Notes for 2009-06-21

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend in Crozet ….

Summer Solstice Release Party at Mountfair

Please join us on Saturday, June 20th, for our Second Annual Summer Solstice Party celebrating our latest release: “Wooloomooloo”. You’ll see changes to the winery inside and out…better parking, newly expanded barrel room, a new stage and of course our latest incarnation of “Wooloomooloo” — our best Petit Verdot blend to date.

Bring a picnic, or nibble on some light snacks that we’ll provide. Pat Craig will serve up a rollicking blend of Acoustic Rock and a roaring bonfire (literally and figuratively) will take us into the night.

We’ll kick things off around 5pm — hope you can make it,

Chris and Fritz

PS: Thunderstorms never cancel our fun!

Mountfair Fun this Weekend

Something happened. Something that could have been devastatingly awful and bad. This blog died/disappeared/went kaput this afternoon.

Luckily, I had a backup of my blog’s database and the kind folks at Blue Ridge Internetworks (who graciously provide hosting for RealCrozetVA) were able to get us back to a basic working order, and now the rebuilding, re-tweaking, re-doing begins.

Please bear with me; it may take a few days to get everything back to where it should be.

Blog Do-Over at RealCrozetVA

I ran into Mary Rice this evening at the Great Valu. She was handing out notices about the Crozet Master Plan Revision survey.

She said that people just were not/are aware of the survey (and one would assume they are unaware of the impact/influence they could also have).

Take a few minutes, educate yourself and fill out the survey. Ask and cajole your friends and neighbors about it too.

It matters.

Brief Notes for 2009-06-14

From a reader:

This Saturday and Sunday (13 & 14) morning 600 to 700 bicyclist will be riding through Crozet to raise funds for the MS Society. On Saturday, they will be heading toward Whitehall and on Sunday, they will be heading toward Greenwood. All rides start at Miller School. The rides are 25, 50, and 75 miles each day.

Expect some delays but remember that these cyclist are raising money for the MS victims in our area.

Better yet, come out and join us in this wonderful effort.

MS 150 Riding Through Crozet This Weekend

Thanks to Nelson County Life for the heads-up.

It’s been a busy week already for the folks at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton. They have been in the process of offloading a new tank that will double their draft and bottled beer distribution in stores and restaurants. “We just recently got to the momentous mark of having our draft and bottled beer in over 100 restaurants and stores across Virginia. This new tank is going to help us double that within a year,” Mandi Smack, co-owner of BMB tells us.

I have made no secret about my appreciation for this beer; friends from around the state and country are jealous that this brewery is only 12 minutes from Downtown Crozet (and my house)!

Blue Mountain Brewery Doubling Capacity

It should be fun, particularly because the proceeds benefit the fight against cancer.:

Join us on June 13, 2009 for the Fifth Annual Pink Ribbon Polo Classic at King Family Vineyards in Crozet, Virginia.
The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and funds to benefit breast cancer care and research in our community.

Enjoy the world’s most exciting sport – at one of the most beautiful spots in Virginia. Come and see who takes home the Cup when Team King takes on Team Flow.

Schedule of Events:

* Match is on Saturday, June 13, 2009 at King Family Vineyards featuring Team Flow vs. Team King.
* Gates open at 10 a.m. with pre-game festivities and the Boutique Shops.
* 11 a.m. The Winery & Tasting Room open for tastings and sales. Enjoy the Segway demonstration on the field.
* 12:30 p.m. Stick and Ball Warm-Up
* 1:00 p.m. Match Begins
* All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society to assist in the fight against breast cancer.

Pink Ribbon Polo at King Family Vineyards

This seems to be exactly what Downtown Crozet does not need:

Asked to share five percent of the proceeds, Wilson decided instead to move the food pick-up point to nearby Old Trail Village which— while it may not be able to offer giant shade trees— won’t charge the Community-Supported Agriculture entity a fee.

Downtown Crozet needs to encourage more community activities in the Downtown area rather than encourage them to look elsewhere. Surely there’s more to this?

More at the Old Trail Village blog:

Beginning this Saturday, June 13th, Horse and Buggy Produce will offer farm-stand produce to subscribers and area residents from 8:30 a.m. – 10 a.m. every Saturday at the Old Trail Village Center. Horse and Buggy Produce, a provider of local produce and other farm goods, has long offered subscription-based shares to Albemarle residents. They are expanding their operation to include farm stand options, allowing all area residents and visitors to purchase fresh items from Mennonite farms in the Valley of Virginia from pick-up locations such as this.

The Wrong Move for Crozet?

So says Newsweek.

Brief Notes for 2009-06-07

Trailside Coffee on Twitter
Trailside Coffee

That Old Trail Village can open the Town Center in this economy, it’s a testament to the development (despite being six months behind schedule). The stores there are going to be a great addition to Crozet.

Transcription:

Jim Duncan: It’s a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in Crozet Virginia. I’m watching the cars drive by and all the necks are craning in anticipation of Trailside Coffee opening up. I’m sitting here with Marcia McGee, owner operator of Trailside Coffee. Hey Marcia!

Marcia McGee: Hi. Thanks for coming out.

Jim Duncan: Tell us why you started it.

Marcia McGee: Why I started it was because at the time there were no coffee shops out here and I live and grew up out here and wanted coffee. That’s why I started to deliver coffee to Crozet! It’s just taken me a little bit longer than anticipated.

Jim Duncan: What do you expect the shop to look like? What do you hope the vibe is of the shop and what are your goals?

Marcia McGee: The vibe of the shop, Trailside Coffee, I like hiking and I want to take this and bring it inside or make it a seamless transition. I want it to be very comfortable. There is going to be a fireplace and wood and natural colors and just a place for people to hang out and talk and drink coffee, tea, smoothies, whatever brings them here just to hang out.

Jim Duncan: Are you going to have a full menu?

Marcia McGee: I say that yes we are. We’ll have Pannini’s made to order bring it out to your table kind of deal, but we’ll have sandwiches and different stuff made up for you and can heat them up – Pannini’s and soups and salads and stuff like that, muffins, and croissants and bakery items and cookies.

Jim Duncan: Are you excited?

Marcia McGee: Yes! Very excited! I’m a little reserved because I’ve been excited for so long. We’re close, we’re very close. It’s just that we’ve been close for a long time.

Jim Duncan: What are you looking forward to the most?

Marcia McGee: To coming to work everyday. It’s kind of what I want to do. It’s a social environment hopefully delivering people a cup of liquid sunshine everyday, getting to talk to them, and live, work and play all in one space. You know? I get to bike to work. I get to work out right down there. I get to see my friends and family and have it all happen in one spot.

Jim Duncan: I’m still hanging on that liquid sunshine.

Marcia McGee: [laughs]

Jim Duncan: How are you going to achieve that? Tell us about the process of the coffee and what you’ve learned about how to make a good cup of coffee.

Marcia McGee: Well you know it starts with the beans. Some of the beans we’re bringing in are of the highest quality so that process is a painstaking one that they all go through and then it’s delivered to us. It’s going to be about training people. I achieved my level one Barista certification; there are three. Colleen is ready to take the test and hopefully all of our Barista’s will be certified, if not a large percentage of them. Training will be a major focus and then it’s just teaching people about coffee and finding out what they like, having cuppings, showing the different types of coffee’s and everything that it has to offer. We’re going to broaden everything they thought the knew about coffee and just blow them away.

Jim Duncan: What’s the feedback from people then as you talk to them about Trailside Coffee opening up, besides the anticipation and the excitement, what are they looking forward to?

Marcia McGee: I think they’re looking for a community place. I think they’re looking forward to learning about coffee. That’s actually one of the things that’s been surprising is teaching people or just talking about that. People didn’t know how many hand-picked beans are in one cup of coffee or their latte’. I’ve had a major response to that. I already have people who want to come to the monthly cuppings. They’re just looking forward to having a place close. Right now they have to drive into town. They want to sit here because a lot of people live around here. I’m kind of blessed because we’re in Old Trail neighborhood. I think they want to walk and get the newspaper and enjoy a cup of coffee in the mornings and not have to drive somewhere else to achieve that.

Jim Duncan: I can’t imagine why anyone would want to sit out here on this patio!

Marcia McGee: [laughs] Yeah, and have a nice beverage.

Jim Duncan: It’s just so hideous out here with all these mountains and greenery.

Marcia McGee: It is, yeah!

Jim Duncan: It’s just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Marcia McGee: Soon we’ll have ice cream, ice coffee, hot coffee, smoothies, tea, homemade lemonades and gingerales and all sorts of stuff.

Jim Duncan: Are you going to have alcohol or music?

Marcia McGee: Music, yes, especially we’re going to do things outside. We have the fields to kind of cross around. So definitely music. I’m set up for it. Wine. I have a place for wine and beer. The thought was to do that and I still may, but I’m kind of just taking it one step at a time right now.

Jim Duncan: Do you want to actually open first?

Marcia McGee: Yes. I want to open first and be good at a couple things and be really good at a couple things rather than just OK at a lot of different things, so that is something that I’m prepared to add onto the menu, right now we’re not. But now we have with the wine bar coming behind us I’m not sure that we’ll need to.

Jim Duncan: Right.

Marcia McGee: Again, it’s kind of focused on a few things. I didn’t think there was going to be anyone serving wine or beer here before so that’s why I was prepared and I am prepared. I have the space to do it so we’ll see. We’ll see.

Jim Duncan: Cool. Anything else you want to add to the future customers of Trailside Coffee?

Marcia McGee: Just come out, give us a try, come hang out, experience the place and let us know. We want to be the community coffee shop, so I don’t have a model of something we’ve been before. We’re certainly not a franchise, so all I can say is let us know what you think and what you want and honest feedback so we can be that. That would be it.

Jim Duncan: Cool. Marcia thanks so much for your time.

Marcia McGee: Thanks Jim.
