One near Crozet Park, and one seemingly a small extension of Old Trail on Jarmans Gap, across from Grayrock. Update: and new Adelaide, and Glenbrook
Site Review meetings for both are on 18 July.
Investigate more for yourself – see plats and such –  at Albemarle County’s County View.
Reminder from the CCA: (seriously, if you can, walk to/from the fireworks)*
On Saturday, July 1, from about 10 to 10:30 pm (after the fireworks show) BOTH LANES of Park Road, High Street, and Tabor Street will be one?way from Claudius Crozet Park to Crozet Avenue. Albemarle County Police officers will be directing traffic at the Crozet Avenue/Tabor Street intersection.
Best Crozet day of the year! Bring chairs and/or blankets down to the route and bags for candy collection. It starts at Crozet Elementary and goes to Crozet Park.
If you need to drive down, I can give parking suggestions depending on what side of town you are coming from. People set up at least 15 minutes before the parade starts at 5.
There are usually some people handing out freezie pops before the parade starts, I know Crozet Running has in the past. It is fairly crowded from Green House Coffee to Tabor Street, and gets a little crowded again up near the park.
We live close enough to walk, so we usually walk home after the parade ends, load up … Â chairs and blankets and drive to the park. It’s a suggested donation of $4 to get in (kids are free).
Everyone sets up chairs and blankets in the grass, there are some kid activities, music, and lots of food trucks, beer, proceeds go to the Park or the Rescue Squad, I forget what charity it is this year. Finally it gets dark, families break out the glow sticks, and at 9:30 the fireworks begin! I think it’s a 20 minute show.
After that, the traffic flows one way out of Park Rd and Tabor Street which helps a lot with getting out. We have always had a great time.

Saw this sign the other day, and posted the picture on Instagram and the FB page … thought I’d put it here, too. Thanks to the folks who created and put up the sign.
Mountainside Senior Living in Crozet is renovating its third floor to accommodate patients with dementia and other neurological disorders that impair memory.
The assisted living home will open a 20-bed memory care unit in November, according to a statement from the Jefferson Area Board for Aging, which operates the facility. The secured space will provide a quieter area for these patients and will be staffed by employees with special training, according to the statement.
Western Albemarle Crew had a fantastic showing at the Virginia State Regatta Championships this weekend in Occoquan.
From The Beaver Creek Sculling blog: (read the whole thing)
Western Albemarle’s Crew team entered ten boats in the Virginia State Rowing Championships hosted this past Saturday by the Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association and brought home eight medals: four gold, two silver and two bronze.
Both the women’s and the men’s senior quads dominated their races; a particularly satisfying accomplishment for the WAHS men’s quad as they had never won that event. Peter Dister, Noah Davis, both juniors, and seniors Spencer Hale and Wiley Martin rowed the quad to the win, automatically qualifying to compete at the Scholastic National Championships later this month.
The women’s senior quad had quite a legacy to uphold; it had not only won the State Championships, but had gone on to row to gold in the 2016 Scholastic National Championships. Two of the members of the 2016 quad graduated, but team captain Carrie Smith and Maggie Vidal, both seniors returned and the team added senior Grace von Elten and junior Hannah Carter to continue the quad’s winning tradition.

I wonder what’s going to take it’s spot near Great Valu. While I’m wondering, I wonder when the new place next to the Crozet barbershop will open.
I don’t need a grocery store open 24 hours, but 9 o’clock? Perfect.
And yes, I did get bread and beer at 8:57pm last night after finishing meeting a client … who had told me about the sign.
