CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY

NEWS 6)%73 What’s Happening Around Town? The Charlottesville Mural Project The Charlottesville Mural Project (CMP) held a dedication ceremony for its first mural at the IX warehouse by local artist Avery Lawrence in an ongoing campaign to showcase the talents of artists and designers while creating a more interesting visual landscape in the city.

Mural at the IX warehouse by local artist Avery Lawrence

The CMP is an umbrella project of The Bridge | Progressive Arts Initiative, a non-profit that strives to build community through the power of collaboration and direct engagement in the creative arts process. The CMP features local artists and designers, partners with youth programs, youth communities, and local businesses, and will produce two murals a year. The IX mural received the generous volunteer labor of Charlottesville residents, UVA students, Clark Elementary art students, and groups from Teens GIVE. Two murals are in the works for 2012 in conjunction with the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, Charlottesville High School, and the 40th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act. “There’s mutually symbiotic visions behind the project,” said Greg Kelly, Executive Director of The Bridge. “Ross (McDermott, Director of CMP) came to me with this drive to cover walls and beautify the city, and we decided it was important to follow MAP’s lead by incorporating the communities that surrounds the walls. That is very important to us.”

Since the CMP’s launch earlier this year, the CMP embarked on a 4,000 square foot set of walls donated by Fabian Kuttner, the Property Manager of the IX complex. Kuttner commissioned the mural and is providing the majority of donations for the mural. In July, The Charlottesville Mural Project hosted a city-wide design competition seeking artists for their first mural. Out of more than thirty-five entries, artist Avery Lawrence was selected by a jury for his colorful design that depicts multi-colored hands intertwining and interacting with each other. A Charlottesville native, Lawrence drew inspiration for the design from childhood experiences in the diverse landscape of the neighborhood. Lawrence states, “The hands in the design represent the curiosity and friendliness of a group figuring out how to come together as a community.” “I wanted it to be beautiful, but I also wanted complexity,” said Lawrence. “You’ll be able to drive by and understand it from that perspective, or walk right up and stand below an enormous 20’ hand.” The Charlottesville Mural Project was fortunate enough to partner with a number of generous companies who believed in the cause of public art in Charlottesville. Most notably, Blue Ridge Building Supply partnered with Benjamin Moore paint to become a leading sponsor of the project. “As a small local business we were pleased to be given an opportunity to support the launch of this important campaign which, while helping local youth will also add color and vibrancy to our community” said Dennis Moneymaker, General Manager of Blue Ridge Paint and Decorating. “In addition to donating and discounting our premium exterior Benjamin Moore paint, we were happy in working with Ross McDermott and Avery Lawrence to provide recommendations and specifications in the application process to help insure that this project will be enjoyed for the longest period of time possible.”

Other contributions were given by Gropen and United Rentals. Lawrence worked on the mural for over a month with the help of and countless other volunteers. While Lawrence relied upon a community of friends to help paint, he also reached out to the art students at Clark Elementary School. Aaron Eichorst, Art Teacher at Clark, brought a group of drawing students to the mural on Halloween Day. The mural was also assisted by UVA students, and a few young individuals who were participating in the Teens GIVE program. All in all, the mural could not have been completed without the generosity of sponsors, volunteers, and the enthusiasm of the Charlottesville community. The CMP has the goal of completing two murals a year within Charlottesville. One mural will work with an established artist while the

other will serve as an outreach project to youth organizations or communities. Already in the works is a Spring mural project in conjunction with the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library’s Big Read program and Charlottesville High School. Other consultation from the CMP will be provided to murals in the West Haven after school program and Southwood Community. Additionally, the CMP would like to produce a mural on Water Street, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act in 2012.

Ornament Workshop Create a one-of-a-kind glass ornament at the “Blow Your Own Glass Ornament” event with ACV juried artisan Charles Hall on Saturday & Sunday, November 19-20 in the Charles Hall Studio at the McGuffey Arts Center in Charlottesville. Each ornament is $25. The Blow-By-Blow Kick-Off Reception will be on Friday, November 18 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The reception cost is $50 per person with proceeds going to benefit the Artisans Center of Virginia.

West

Main

Street

n a map of Charlottesville, West Main Street lies smack in the middle of the city. For almost two centuries, this central location has attracted commerce, and it flourished in two waves. A third wave is currently rising in hotels and dining, or what is called the hospitality industry. A local business association has even dubbed the area “Midtown,” hoping to grab some of the glamor of New York. Whether that name will stick remains to be seen, but redevelopment is clearly visible on the ground. West Main Street follows the colonial-era route called ThreeNotched Road, which was laid out between Richmond and Rockfish Gap in 1733. In part, this route follows much older Native American trails. Running generally east-west, the Three-Notched Road became

the Main Street of the new city of Charlottesville in 1762. About a mile to the west, in 1825 it became the northern boundary of the University of Virginia. These two historic poles, now generally known as Downtown and The Lawn, have shaped urban development ever since. At least two comprehensive studies have been done of West Main Street. In July 1977, some University of Virginia faculty published “West Main Street: Present Conditions and Future Prospects,” for the League of Cities—Conference of Mayors. Conditions at the time were poor, as in many American cities, with high vacancy, neglect and racial tension. The “future prospects” included new multifamily housing and office space to fill what were seen as gaps in the urban fabric. In January 1993, city officials produced the “West Main Street Task Force Report,” mainly in response to the university’s idea of building a new residential col-

lege, modeled on those of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Yale. The proposed college never materialized, though UVA has crept into the area. Like many preindustrial roads, West Main Street lies on a ridge. This fact of topography is evident as you move along the street, and the land falls away to either side. The slopes are a challenge to development, while the long, straight stretch is too narrow for a planted boulevard. Still it could be a processional way as well as a traffic route. Republic Plaza at 855 West Main Street, with its sidewalk arcade and imposing brick mass, shows the possibilities. Equally important are the manmade features of two railroad lines. In 1845, the Chesapeake & Ohio (now CSX) came to town from Richmond. It parallels the street, leaving a narrow strip of land on the south for buildings. The Norfolk & Southern line, opened in 1863, intersects midway, and giving to a depot now known as the Amtrak Station. Adding to the transportation nexus, the Trailways bus station relocated in 1963 on West Main Street. From the 1870s on, West Main Street became a center for hotels, restaurants, apartments, and related businesses, displacing many houses. One survivor from this era is the Albemarle Hotel of 1890, at 617 West Main Street, long famous for its dining room. It is now converted to offices, with shops at street level behind a cast-iron colonnade. Significant survivors from the residential past

time when West Main had neighborhood shops, a Safeway grocery store, and a Sears Roebuck store. With a parking garage for the UVA Hospital looming behind, the new Courtyard Marriott Hotel across the street, and chain retailers lurking on the outskirts, Kane Furniture represents the locally owned and managed businesses that sustain a city. While it was and is a commercial spine, West Main Street is also the geographic center of Charlottesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s African-American residents, who settled in neighborhoods north and south of the street. In the years after the Civil War and emancipation, they

From the 1870s on, West Main Street became a center for hotels, restaurants, apartments, and related businesses, displacing many houses. since migrated to the edges of town, but two remain: Team Tires and University Tire & Auto. Buildings that once served the car trade also remain, adapted to other uses. The most striking of these is Main Street Market, a collection of specialty food, wine and kitchenware shops, with places to eat and drink. Next door, the Zinc Bistro occupies a former gas station, with roll-up doors at the service bays. Another former car dealer and repair shop in the 500 block is listed for sale. This industrial-looking complex briefly housed John Sarah John, an avant-garde art studio, gallery, espresso bar, and event space. Just to the east, a similar no-frills structure houses start-ups like Random Row Books. Arguably the counterculture epicenter of Charlottesville, Random Row has new and used books; a cavernous space for music, films and readings; artist studios; a community bulletin board; and a stream of visiting performers and social activists. If you want to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening off the grid, go to their blog, get on their email list, and drop in to chat. At the opposite end, Kane Furniture is a tenacious survivor from a

founded no fewer than three churches here. All three are significant red brick structures. Two are still in active use: First Baptist Church in the middle, with its white domed steeple; and Ebenezer Baptist Church of 1908, set back on 6th Street. The Mount Zion First African Baptist Church of 1878, just around the end of West Main at 105 Ridge Street, has been adapted for use as the Music Resource Center, for musical practice and recording. Speaking of architecture, the Amtrak Station deserves mention. Set in an open space of tracks, newly paved parking and trees, the brick station of 1885 and a picturesque baggage depot of 1915 were renovated in 1999. The old station became a restaurant called Wild Wing Cafe, and the baggage depot became the new waiting room. Passenger traffic increased, and the space is now inadequate: the station is busy with three daily trains and new commuter service to Washington, DC. West Main Street is still partly residential. It runs through two neighborhoods as defined by the city, tiny Starr Hill and the larger area called 10th and Page. Starr Hill has a clutch of narrow streets and small houses, a

are two small groups of brick rowhouses, both adapted for other uses: the Vowles Houses of 1824-1839, now the University of Virginia Medical Alumni office, and the Livers Houses of 1825-1835, now the Dinsmore bed and breakfast. The splendid red brick Patton House of 1845, with its white Doric porch and frieze, is now a branch of the University of Virginia Community Credit Union. In the early twentieth century, West Main Street embraced the automobile. Car showrooms, tire dealers, automotive repair shops and related businesses all located here, up to 24 of them by 1950.

Feature

charming area that has seen “gentrification” in the past few years, with a shift from rental to owner-occupied housing. Given the central location and the demand for city living, some change seems inevitable. The 10th and Page neighborhood has seen construction of new houses, a cluster of ten or more at the namesake intersection. A few steps away is the public housing complex called Westhaven. Built in 1965, the first of Charlottesville’s public housing sites with 126 townhouse units, Westhaven has had its share of controversy. Located just one block north of West Main Street, it seems isolated due to the steep slope and the site plan, based on the private loop of Hardy Street. A poor record of maintenance did not help. Recently, the city proposed to replace all its public housing and effectively wipe out Westhaven. Funding for such an ambitious plan is not available, but a pedestrian route to West Main would be an affordable improvement. Proof that a residential enclave can be functional and attractive comes just to the south, in the new condominium development called Walker Square. Built in 2005, the complex includes upscale features like a clubhouse, swimming pool and fitness center. Visible from West Main across the train station parking lot and tracks, Walker Square relies on location and site plan for its appeal, rather than design. Currently a mix of rental and owner-occupied units, it is convenient to the UVA Hospital, to other employment and bus lines, and to the restaurants that line West Main Street. History has repeated itself in that West Main is again a dining destination. An arbitrary sample includes the newly opened Balkan Bistro, the venerable Blue Moon Diner and

Mel’s Cafe, outdoor seating at Maya and Horse & Hound, the traditional West Main Restaurant, and the chic L’Etoile, overlooking the railroad on Starr Hill. Specialty food shops have also sprung up, starting with the wine, cheese, bakery, chocolate, and fish shops in Main Street Market. For sheer wonder, check out Grand Market across the street at 323 West Main, with foods imported from Greece,

Turkey, the Middle East, India, and farther afield. For convenience, a Virginia ABC liquor store is here, too. At a time when new development is scarce, this area has two major construction projects under way, with a third poised to start. At the west end, the UVA Hospital is adding to its complex with the Battle Building, for children and outpatient surgery. At the east end of the neighborhood, at the corner of Preston Avenue and 4th

Street, 60 apartments are going up for single room occupancy, or SRO, by Virginia Supportive Housing. Also to the east, the Jefferson School property has been in the news for putting together a financial package that will allow extensive renovation for office and community use. In the days of racially segregated public schools, the Jefferson School educated black students. A huge, rambling brick structure, with significant open space and a central location, it then stood empty for many years. When construction goes ahead, it will not only preserve a cultural landmark, but connect Downtown to West Main and add to commercial life. Life was very much in evidence on Saturday afternoon, September 10, during the second annual Midtown Street Fair. A section from 4th to 7th Streets was closed to traffic, and a variety of booths, tables, walkers, bicycles, pedicabs, and lady arm wrestlers took over the pavement. Three performance stages were set up, with a schedule of karaoke and professional music. The Midtown Business Association says: “Our goal is for this event to become an integral experience in the Charlottesville social landscape.” The center of the action was a barbecue cookoff, but there was plenty of other street food, mixed with children’s face-painting, artisan crafts, a photo booth, and displays for local magazines. There is a free shuttle bus between the University and Downtown, and foot traffic, including joggers and tourists, increases year after year. As the Charlottesville area continues to grow and develop, West Main Street will likely maintain its place at the center, with a style that is urban, gritty, progressive, and multicultural. The New South that emerged in cities like Richmond and Atlanta may finally gain a foothold here.

It’s Time To Put Your

Fiscal House In Order By: RogeR A. VARneR, II

serious thought should be given to the savings that today’s low interest rates are mostly likely to create over the original mortgage rate. Even with closing costs factored in, it is possible to refinance at a lower interest rate and receive a lower monthly payment or the same monthly payment but a closer maturity date. Trying to refinance and then finding out that your credit score is undesirable will halt the process or lead to higher interest rates. Checking

personal credit scores and histories are something that should be done even if applying for a loan is not on the horizon. Clearing up incorrect information or correcting poor credit takes time but starting as early as possible leads to a quicker resolution and better credit score. The three credit reporting agencies are Trans Union, Experian and Equifax. Congress has mandated that individuals be allowed a free copy of their credit report, but not their credit score,

from each agency once every 365 days, www.annualcreditreport.com. Be wary of other sites that claim to give free credit reports and scores as their fine print usually requires a subscription to a paid service that they will waive for the first month or two but later will show up on a credit card statement and may go unnoticed for months. In addition to principal and interest, a mortgage payment usually consists of escrowed items such as home insurance premiums, private mortgage insurance premiums and real estate taxes. It is a good idea to review these amounts to determine if there is any saving potential. Shop around for home insurance once a year or two to be sure that the rate being paid is competitive and if it is not, consider switching home insurers. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is usually required on loans that were originated with greater than 80 percent loan to value. This monthly payment can be cancelled once a homeowner has paid the loan down more than 20 percent or when the home has appreciated to the point where the loan represents less than 80 percent of the current home’s value. The lender will require an appraisal paid by the homeowner to confirm the home’s current value, but the savings can be recouped in a few months. Real estate taxes are assessed on the home’s value at a set rate determined by the home’s locality. While the rate is not negotiable, the home’s value is and can be done during the assessment period. The locality will notify the homeowner of the assessed value and instructions on how to appeal if the homeowner does not agree. This requires that the homeowner make the case that their home is being over valued and to cite facts in support of their claim. Mortgage payments tend to be a family’s largest monthly expense but they should also be looked at as an investment. It’s important to take an active role in the management of your home investment as a little bit of savings in this category really adds up. So when considering your portfolio of personal investments, be sure to include your home in the mix as it properly belongs there.

if your mortgage is $1,267, pay $1,300. This extra thirty-three dollars a month can result in significant savings over the term of the loan through the reduction in compounding interest.

CAAR Real Estate Weekly | www.charlottesvillerealestateweekly.com

hen discussing personal investments, stocks, bonds and 401(k)s come to mind. It’s true— these are definitely considered investments, but the largest investment that an American family has tends to be their home. The difference between your home’s current value and the balance of any liens against it represents your home’s equity. It is this equity that can be borrowed against or accumulated by either paying down the liens/loans or enjoying the appreciation that homes have traditionally experienced over the long run. The equity in a home is not liquid like money in a savings account, as it is more difficult to access and sometimes requires the sale of the home to access all of it. While selling a home to acquire its equity might sound extreme, under some circumstances, such as the onset of retirement and downsizing to a home that can be bought outright, it may be an appealing idea. The ability to own a home outright also can be accelerated by applying a little extra toward the principal with each mortgage payment. A good way to do this is to round the mortgage payment to a higher number, so if your mortgage is $1,267, you pay $1,300. This extra thirty-three dollars a month can result in significant savings over the term of the loan through the reduction in compounding interest. Be sure to check your monthly statements, however, to confirm that the extra payments are being applied to principal and not simply being credited to the escrow account.
