Anderson Seafood at Gateway Gas

It was only a couple weeks ago that I wondered out loud whether a mid-week Farmer’s Market would work. So this evening when driving home, luckily I took the 250 way to 240 rather than the Starr Hill way and saw that Charlottesville’s Anderson’s Seafood had set up in the Gateway Gas parking lot. Seafood, crab cakes, twice baked potatoes, fresh-picked this morning corn … here’s hoping they can make it work. They’ll be there Friday through Sunday and he mentioned he might come on Thursdays.

Jean Seal – People of Crozet

Jean Seal - Crozet Hardware

Jean Seal, an employee of the Crozet Hardware store for 10 years, was first introduced to Crozet through marriage. Jean says that Crozet has always been a small town where everyone knows everybody, but Crozet is changing. “The older generation made up Crozet, [but] the newcomers are blending in.” To Jean, Crozet feels like home and always has felt like home.

Jean takes pride in her work as an employee of the hardware store. As a very dedicated worker, Jean considers the hardware store to be her own store. Crozet Hardware offers genuine service, “[and that’s] something that most people don’t see anymore.”

Overall, Jean loves the small town and the nice people who inhabit it.

Mrs Karpovich – People of Crozet

Ms. Karpovich.JPG

Mrs. Karpovich’s room has been the go-to lunch location for my friends and me for the past two years. She is a lot of fun to talk with, and she is not afraid to share her opinion on anything from exams to the coming Elections. She has been working at Western for 14 years, teaching all levels of Chemistry (“and even Physics my first year here” she confides). For her, forming relationships with kids that continue all the way through college and beyond is her favorite aspect of teaching. Plus, as she says, “I have fun. I come to school every day and I enjoy it.” When I asked her about why WAHS is important to Crozet, she admits that is a good question. After pausing a second, she responds that Western provides a place for everyone to come and learn regardless of background, and that teachers accept the challenge of educating kids of all levels with smiles on their faces.

The Quick Start Tennis Fence is Up

Mark your calendars for the ribbon cutting ceremony on 30 June at 6pm. Very, very smart of them to schedule this event for a time when people can actually attend, rather than having it in the middle of the day … when most people are, you know, working.

Margot Diaz – People of Crozet

margot diaz - pastry chef at crozet mudhouse

Margot Diaz is the Executive Pastry Chef of the Mudhouse, the “creator of happiness, mother and wife” and she’s been at the Crozet Mudhouse for just over three years. Margot loves the Crozet community and being able to know all her customers’ names. She finds the general energy of the area energizing. She “draws a light from the mountains and the lakes and the people in this area.”

Why Crozet? “It’s just far enough out of town to still be quaint. I never if ever go into Charlottesville – everything i need is here. I don’t need a Wal-mart.” This is our idea of perfection – being in a small town.

Margot and her husband Alex were married in Romania. Why? “Why not?”
