Crozet Community Association Meeting Thursday 10 September

At the Old School House this Thursday from 7:30 pm to 9 pm. Anyone who wants to write a story for RealCrozetVA will be thanked loudly, roundly and I’ll buy you a cup of coffee from one of the three local coffee shops.

One suggestion – if we really want to and intend to invite Old Trail into Crozet, we (really the CCA) should put signs at the entrances to Old Trail as well as at the intersections of Crozet Avenue and 240 (and Jarman’s Gap Road).

Blue Ridge Cohousing in Crozet

If you haven’t taken the time to learn about the Blue Ridge Cohousing neighborhood (now a bad link), listen to this interview on WVTF with some of the folks who will be living there. Interview here (yet another bad link). Or here, on a new test site I’m working on.

Cohousing combines private homes with the security and interconnection of an old-fashioned village. Benefits include:
• deeper connections with neighbors
• sustainable, environmentally friendly homes
• pedestrian-friendly pathways, and
• a healthy balance of social interaction and privacy.

You can learn more about cohousing at cohousing.org.

Update: WCAV has a story as well: this link disappeared somehow. Good lord.
