THIS WEEK

It’s grim out there these days. Just glance at the front-page headlines: War is brewing in Ukraine. The omicron variant is spreading. A blanket of smog has descended on Beijing on the eve of the already-controversial Olympics.

Covering local news, too, can get bleak: Our last few cover stories have been about the recent COVID surge and the intractability of Charlottesville’s affordable housing problem (p. 17). The bad news keeps coming.

Focusing on the little positives is a must in moments like these. Most of the time, in our Question of the Week, we try to ask something that relates to the content of the paper. This week, though, our question isn’t connected to any particular story. We asked, “What’s the best news you’ve gotten recently?” Your answers (p. 33), which range from UVA football hires to the upcoming Pokémon game to negative COVID tests, are a small but meaningful counterweight against the messiness of the world we live in.—Ben Hitchcock

Majors killers sentenced

In December 2019, Charlottesville native Tessa Majors was killed in a New York City park near Barnard College, where she had just begun studying. Three teenagers, aged 13 and 14 at the time of the killing, were charged in relation to Majors’ death. On January 19, the third and final individual, Rashaun Weaver, was sentenced to 14 years to life after pleading guilty to his involvement in the murder.

Weaver, who wielded the knife in the attack, and Luchiano Lewis, who was sentenced to nine years, were charged as adults despite their age when the murder occurred. “[Weaver] is a symptom rather than a cause in a very broken system,” said Weaver’s lawyer at the trial, reports the New York Times. “Nothing absolves him for what he did, but it does explain why we’re here.”

“Just giving kids worksheets doesn’t work either. Where are they getting the worksheets from? Are they going to be delivered by carrier pigeon?”

“One group of parents wants their kids to be kept busy, so [they] are demanding virtual school on snow days. Another group of parents will not have the ability to pull that off,” Esposito wrote. “The privilege boggles.”

The region continues to see high numbers of new COVID cases each day. On Friday, the Blue Ridge Health District reported 227 new cases. That’s down from the all-time high of 618 new cases in a day, which was reported last Tuesday, but nonetheless indicative of a serious surge. Before December 2021, the all-time high was 245, in February of 2021. Various area health agencies are offering vaccines and COVID tests.

New Attorney General Jason Miyares has fired 30 state employees since taking over, including UVA Counsel Tim Heaphy. In the weeks after 2017’s Unite the Right, Heaphy put together a major report on what went wrong as the rally unfolded. More recently, he’s been on leave from his post at UVA to serve as chief investigative counsel to the U.S. House committee that’s investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection.

Greene County’s school board voted 3-2 to repeal the district’s mask mandate last week, days after newly empowered Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order dictating that mask wearing should be optional in schools. Both Charlottesville City Schools and Albemarle County Public Schools have elected to defy the governor’s order and keep their mask mandates in place, along with dozens of other districts across the state.

L

ast week, after Charlottesville City Schools called off school on Tuesday due to lingering hazards from the weekend’s snowstorm, former mayor Mike Signer took to Twitter to voice his opposition. He was met with derision— who could possibly be anti-snow day? But Signer doubled down, and published an op-ed in Time last Friday, entitled “Democrats Lost Virginia By Ignoring Parents.

Snow Days Show They Still Are.” “The very idea of a ‘snow day,’ when the entire school system shutters (along with its core mission) is as antiquated and counterproductive as the agrarian-era summer break,” wrote Signer, who now works as an exec at WillowTree. “If you’re a family with two working parents, a snow day isn’t just the kids having fun outside. It’s a 10-hour expanse of time where, inside, you want your kids to have their brains stimulated, but you have to work, and you have no idea what their education should be that day—because that’s what their schools and teachers are for.”

Signer argues that Charlottesville should adopt policies similar to those in Prince William County, where students are expected to complete asynchronous work during some inclement weather closures, and that the Republican victory in the 2021 governor’s race came because Virginia Democrats didn’t pay attention to “the feelings and ideas of struggling public-school parents.” He also includes a handful of the mean tweets that people wrote about him.

Christine Esposito, a city schools teacher, was among the locals who used social media to voice their disagreement with Signer’s op-ed.

In a Facebook post, Esposito pointed out that not all Charlottesville residents have easy access to the internet, making virtual school an inequitable proposition. The same goes

‘They’re my people’

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

Meet the Mafia The Bills and Chiefs traded touchdowns in the first half. As the teams fought to a 14-14 scoreline, I made my way around the room, trying to figure out how all these Bills fans had ended up in this bar in central Virginia, so far away from their homeland in icy Buffalo.

Software engineer JP Scaduto grew up in upstate New York. Everywhere he’s lived since then, he’s found a Bills Backers group to watch games with. “Wherever you go, there’s somebody from Buffalo there,” the young techie told me. “We’ve got the best fanbase in the country.”

EZE AMOS

January 26 – February 1, 2022 c-ville.com

@cville_weekly

facebook.com/cville.weekly

“Y

ou’re in Bills Country,” announced a blue-red-andwhite banner hanging near the entrance to Champion Grill.

Geographically, I was nowhere near Bills Country. I was here in Charlottesville, more than 400 miles from the cold and snowy home of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills.

And yet, just as the banner promised, the bar was packed with Bills fans, decked out in gaudy team colors, buying beer and taking their places before the Bills’ playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Charlottesville Buffalo Bills Backers were out in force, same as every other Sunday, all season long.

“It started out because I just wanted to watch Bills games,” said group founder Patrick Webb. “I figured if I could find a few Bills fans, we’d have some camaraderie, a little bit of community.”

That was in 2007. Since then, the club has grown from just seven original members to the robust crowd in attendance at Champion. There are a handful of other out-oftown sports teams with fan clubs in Charlottesville—the Browns Backers meet at the Livery Stable, and the Charlottesville Reds watch Liverpool FC games at Random Row— but the vast majority of teams don’t have any fan club at all. Webb says he thinks the Bills Backers are the biggest crowd in town.

After all, Bills fans have a bit of a reputation. Known for braving the snow, smashing tables, and drinking copious amounts of booze, the team’s ravenous fanbase is affectionately nicknamed the Bills Mafia.

“We’ll do more harm to tables than we will other people,” Webb stressed. The Charlottes­

ville Bills Backers is a family scene—Webb’s elementary-school-aged son is next to him, wearing a Bills jacket. This year, through game day raffles, the group has raised almost $3,000 for local charity Waterboys.

“This is a normal crowd,” said Brian Lewandowski, another of the group’s organizers, scanning the 70-plus blue-clad fans in the bar. “We’ve had [up to] 150.”

The passion of the Bills Mafia, both in Charlottesville and around the country, is even more impressive given the team’s historic struggles on the field. In the ’90s, the Bills made the Super Bowl four times in a row, and lost all four. Starting in 2000, they missed the playoffs for 17 consecutive seasons.

All that has changed in the last two years, however. Suddenly, the Bills are good. Josh Allen, a fantastic young quarterback, has become the team’s talisman. Last year, for the first time since 1993, the Bills made it to the AFC Championship Game. They lost to the same team they were set to play on Sunday—the Kansas City Chiefs.

When the Bills scored a late touchdown, Brian Edison tore off his shirt in celebration. As the game’s final whistle sounded, he was left consoling his daughter, Emily.

For Scaduto, the losing is an important ingredient in the intoxicating Bills cocktail.

“If you can live through 17 years without the playoffs, you are a true fan through and through,” he said. “Our sense of community comes from our ability to have gone that long while being that mediocre.”

Richard Sargent, a security integrator wearing a Bills T-shirt under a blazer, was a little more succinct: “Misery loves company.”

As we spoke, a train horn blared over the Champion sound system. The train horn plays in the Bills’ stadium when the Bills are defending a third down, Webb explained, so the Bills Backers have hooked up a digital version for the watch parties.

I chatted with Dale Sadler, who’s been a Bills fan for as long as the team has been around—60-plus years. The retired engineer has been coming to Charlottesville Bills Backers meetings for a decade. He waxed poetic to me about the Bills greats of yore: O.J. Simpson, Jim Kelly, Doug Flutie.

Florence Sadler, a retired schoolteacher, caught Bills fever from Dale, her husband.

On Sunday night she showed up to Champion in a Bills cap, Bills earrings, and a Bills facemask, with a Bills Snuggie folded across her arm. “I’m more fair-weather than he is,” she said.

As time expired in the first half, the Chiefs attempted a field goal, but the ball glanced off the right upright and missed.

A lucky break—“that never happens for us!” cheered one fan.

Jahnavi Wraight also found the Bills through a loved one. Her best friend and business parter, Shana Sugar, is a longtime Bills fan, and insisted that Wraight accompany her to a game for her birthday.

“Going to this game, I was convinced no one was going to be there,” Wraight recalled.

“It was freezing, it snowed the night before.”

But sure enough, Buffalo showed up. The parking lot was full of tailgaters, the stands were jammed with rowdy fans, and the concessions booths ran out of alcohol before halftime.

“I like Bills fans,” said Wraight, a tattooed hairdresser. “They’re my people.”

The extreme conditions are an important part of what makes the Bills so special, said Jonathan Amato, a lifelong fan and upstate New York ex-pat who works as a government contractor. “A lot of these Rust Belt cities, football’s a big part of their life,” he said. “It’s snowy and cold. What are you going to do all winter but watch football?”

Patrick Jurewicz, a UVA athletic trainer, roots for the Giants. Even so, after a coworker introduced him to the Bills Backers, he’s become a regular at the watch parties.

“I’m new to town as of August,” he said. “So it’s good to have a good community. It’s what I’m looking for.”

Everyone wants in on the action. “See this guy over here in 27?” Webb said, pointing

to a jersey-wearing member of the crowd.

“He was here last week. He’d only just heard about us. And [today] he came back with like six people.”

(I did find two Chiefs fans in the crowded bar. They weren’t wearing any gear, but let out a yelp after a Kansas City touchdown.

Turns out they’d wandered in by accident.

“We thought we’d go out and get some dinner and watch the game,” one said. “We had no idea it would be like this.”)

As the game progressed, the Bills Backers grew more and more absorbed. A Chiefs field goal gave Kansas City a 26-21 lead with nine minutes to play. It was clear the Bills had a tight finish on their hands, but I don’t think anyone could have anticipated what happened next.

An instant classic After the Chiefs’ field goal, the Bills moved down the field confidently, chewing up time as they went. The drive stalled in Kansas City territory. All seemed doomed. Then, with just under two minutes left, on fourth and 13, Allen dropped back, scanned the field, and fired a throw to a wide open Gabriel Davis in the back of the end zone. The bar went wild.

“God I love this team,” said Webb. “But then I hate them. But then I love them.”

Kansas City, trailing 29-26, wasn’t done yet. Five plays after the Bills’ TD, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught a short pass from Patrick Mahomes and zoomed into the end zone from 64 yards out.

The Bills had a minute to work with, trailing by four. Allen connected with Davis twice, then hit Emmanuel Sanders at the Kansas City 19 yard line. Seventeen seconds were left in the game. This was really the end, one way or another.

Allen took the snap, dropped back, and quickly released a laser beam, once again finding Davis in the end zone for the lead.

The bar erupted. Decades of heartbreak were released in elated, manic screams.

Fans hugged, high-fived, sprinted around the room, reveled in the collective thrill unique to sports. A middle-aged father tore his shirt off and roared with joy.

But 13 seconds remained on the clock.

Unbelievably, 13 seconds was just enough time for Mahomes and the Chiefs to cover 44 yards and kick a game-tying field goal as time expired.

It got worse from there. The Chiefs won the coin toss to start the overtime period.

They sliced down the field, gaining yards on every play until Mahomes found tight end Travis Kelce for a walk-off touchdown.

It was one of the greatest football games ever played. And the Bills lost.

Just minutes after the sheer ecstasy of the last Bills touchdown, the bar fell into a shell-shocked murmur. Kids started crying; adults stared blankly at the TV screens, mouths agape.

As he closed his tab at the bar, Scaduto spoke the die-hard sports fan’s simplest, most poignant refrain: “Next year.”

Fans shuffled past Webb’s table on their way out. With one arm wrapped around his crying son, Webb waved goodbye to his beloved Bills community. “See you next year,” he said. “Just follow us. We’ll be here next year.”

Near the door, Florence Sadler, with all those years of Bills fandom behind her, leaned over to me. As the cold night air poured into the bar, Sadler adjusted her Bills facemask. “If you’re gonna lose,” she said, “you gotta lose good.”

“A government that will listen, is open and transparent, that’s my style.” MICHAEL ROGERS, INTERIM CITY MANAGER

www.pvcc.edu/performingarts Box Office: 434.961.5376

CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

n November, newly appointed Charlottesville City Manager Marc Woolley quit—the day before he was supposed to start work. It was the low point in a three-year period that had seen five people, not counting Woolley, serve as the city government’s lead executive. In response, City Council addressed the desperate situation by hiring a management firm until it finds a permanent city manager.

This month, Charlottesville signed a contract with the Robert Bobb Group, which has decades of experience serving local and state governments across the country. Last week, council interviewed three potential candidates—all members of the Robert Bobb Group—to be the interim city manager.

After more than an hour in closed session, councilors officially appointed Michael Rogers during Tuesday’s meeting.

“I look forward to engaging with the staff and becoming a part of the team and leading the team so that the citizens of Charlottesville are proud every day of the level of service that their government provides,” said Rogers. “A government that will listen, is open and transparent, that’s my style.

That’s what I look for.”

Rogers has previously served as Washington, D.C.’s city administrator, and executive director of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, as well as chief operating and financial officer of Petersburg, Virginia. He has also held senior positions in the New York City government, and with the Minority Business Development Agency.

Following his appointment, Rogers said he looked forward to “hitting the ground running” and working with council to address a plethora of issues facing Charlottesville. He also shared his connection to the area—early in his career, he met Cole Hendrix, who served as Charlottesville’s city manager from 1971 to 1996.

“I can still remember the excitement and joy in [Hendrix’s] voice when he talked about his city of Charlottesville,” said Rogers. “So that impression of [this] city has always stuck with me.”

Mayor Lloyd Snook said he was drawn to the new manager’s passion for mentorship.

City Council appointed Michael Rogers interim city “One of the things that I remanager during last week’s meeting. member particularly about

January 26 – February 1, 2022 c-ville.com

[Rogers’] interview is that [he] enjoyed mentoring and teaching younger, deputy city managers, people who are middle managers in city government,” said the mayor.

“That’s something we really need.”

“Investment in staff development and building cohesive teams has been a staple of my career,” said Rogers. “That’s how you build succession planning.”

Vice-Mayor Juandiego Wade said he was impressed by Rogers’ previous accomplishments, especially in regard to finances. In 2016 and 2017, the Robert Bobb Group helped the City of Petersburg climb out of millions of dollars in debt.

“We’re going to need to be able to hit the ground running with the budget process,” said Wade.

Councilor Michael Payne expressed his appreciation for Rogers’ commitment to diversity and inclusion.

“How do we ensure that there’s real diversity in class and race in the rooms that we’re in, and incorporating that into every decision we’re making—I’m just really excited to have that approach, along with your breadth of local experience,” said Payne.

Rogers’ contract will last for six months, unless Charlottesville hires a permanent city manager within that time period. In the meantime, the Robert Bobb Group will help address other urgent needs, including creating the fiscal year 2023 budget.

Councilors will continue to work with the group to find a permanent city manager and police chief. They hope to hire a new person to lead the city by June.

Rogers starts work on January 31.

Moving in UVA wants to build affordable housing. Where should it go?

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

F

Three UVA or UVA Foundation properties—the Piedmont community off Fontaine Avenue, 1010 Wertland St., and portions of North Fork UVA discovery park on 29 North—are part of the university’s new affordable housing development initiative.

“Our biggest need, and the most difficult affordable housing to build, is having units at zero to 30 percent AMI.” MICHAEL PAYNE, CITY COUNCILOR

facebook.com/cville.weekly

lottesville also expanded City Yard into Page Street, another historically Black neighborhood, but refused to assist residents with finding alternative housing.

UVA should start helping residents of Piedmont and 1010 Wertland St. find new housing now, says Wilkins. It should also give them the option to live in the new affordable units once they are built, and offer them the same rental rate they had before— or a lower one, says Edwards.

“It’s really critical to have a survey of everyone who is living in these units who is facing displacement, [and] for UVA to know what their situations are—is it mainly students, community members, how long they’ve been living in that unit, what’s their current rent,” adds Payne. “[They should] use that information to definitely be 100 percent certain that no one is displaced.”

Piedmont residents have echoed these concerns. Since announcing the proposed sites, UVA has been collecting community feedback through an online (or mail-in) survey, as well as a comment wall on the affordable housing initiative’s website.

“If dozens of families lose their homes simultaneously or within a few months, the Charlottesville housing market cannot absorb all of them. Some families might not be able to find a place that is available, affordable, or that will accept their application (because of income, credit score or legal status),” wrote one commenter.

“We just moved in this summer and our new life is just settled down totally. My kids are just get used to their school,” said another resident. “That would be great for kids to stay in same school. Hope we could live at piedmont for full 4 years.”

The 1010 Wertland St. and North Fork sites have received more positive—albeit less—feedback. Commenters would like to see access to public transportation at the affordable housing sites, as well as green infrastructure, sustainable building practices, and community services.

As the project’s team moves forward with the community engagement process, Wilkins urges UVA representatives to visit low-income neighborhoods and public housing communities in person.

“Not everybody—especially low-income folks—has access to the internet and the same resources…so we really need to go into these communities as much as we can and engage in a way that speaks to them,” she says.

Payne hopes UVA will continue to work with local nonprofits, public housing communities, and the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority to ensure that the new construction “is meeting the biggest needs in the community” and “won’t have unintended consequences [for] the people around the sites.” He also encourages the school to partner with the city on housing projects that are already in the works, like the redevelopment of South First Street.

UVA is collecting comments from the public until January 31. It plans to issue a Request for Qualifications from developers this spring.

“UVA has been around for so long, and there’s so much undoing of work that needs to happen,” says Edwards. “They started it, and they still have a long way to go.”

@cville_weekly

According to a report published by the Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition in 2020, around 25 percent of all city residents currently do not make enough money to afford to live here.

In addition to one- and two-bedroom units, the new developments should have plenty of units for larger households, as well as elderly and disabled residents, stresses Wilkins. It’s also important that the units offer opportunities for homeownership, giving Black residents a chance to build generational wealth.

Payne also encourages the university to explore adopting a community land trust model, in which a nonprofit organization owns land and leases it to homeowners, maintaining permanent affordability. “They’ll be able to reach deeper AMI levels, potentially open up wealth-building opportunities to more people, and ensure that those units aren’t just affordable for 10, 15, or 20 years, which is often the case in some affordable housing developments,” he says.

Two of the potential affordable housing sites, Piedmont and 1010 Wertland St., currently have residents. After receiving some pushback from the residents, this month the university notified those who are eligible to renew their leases that they could do so through spring 2023, and would not have to move out this spring.

“We are beginning discussions about how to assist current residents as we get a better understanding of the needs,” said Assistant Vice President for Economic Development Pace Lochte in an email.

Affordable housing advocates point to Charlottesville’s troubled history of displacing vulnerable residents. In 1964, the city razed Vinegar Hill, a historically Black neighborhood and business hub. Former residents were forced to move to the city’s first public housing development, Westhaven. In 1969, Char-

rom redlining to racial covenants, Charlottesville’s long history of racism and segregation has created the affordable housing crisis the city now faces.

Over the years, the city’s largest employer, the University of Virginia, has contributed to the problem. As UVA continues to grow and expand, more and more students have signed leases at apartments and houses around the university, leaving less and less affordable housing available for the city’s low-income residents.

In 2020, UVA President Jim Ryan announced that the school would take proactive measures to address the situation. Over the next decade, UVA plans to support the development of 1,000 to 1,500 units of affordable housing in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. UVA and the UVA Foundation will retain ownership of the land for the affordable housing developments, and partner with third-party developers to design, finance, build, and manage the new units.

Last month, the university announced three prospective sites—all owned by the university or the UVA Foundation—for new affordable housing units: UVA’s Piedmont community off Fontaine Avenue, portions of the North Fork UVA discovery park on Route 29, and the 1010 Wertland St. building at the corner of Wertland and 10th Street.

The existing buildings, excluding a historic structure at the Piedmont site, would be replaced with new ones.

Among the key questions facing the project is just how affordable the units will be.

City councilor and longtime affordable housing advocate Michael Payne hopes the dwellings will be available at a variety of rental prices—at all area median income levels. “Our biggest need, and the most difficult affordable housing to build, is having units at zero to 30 percent AMI,” he says.

Moriah Wilkins, Skadden Legal Fellow at the Legal Aid Justice Center, says the units need to be affordable specifically for local residents who make below $50,000 a year. “A lot of the low-income housing tax credit units that we have in the community right now accommodate people who have far more than $50,000, so we need to make sure we’re targeting the right demographic,” she explains.

While the units will be available to the entire community, they should be easily accessible to UVA employees, including dining hall staff, custodians, and other service workers, says Public Housing Association of Residents Executive Director Shelby Edwards.

“People who work at UVA should have the ability to live in the city if they’re going to be expected to work in the city,” says Edwards. “Low-income people, specifically Black people, over the past few years have been moving out of Charlottesville.”

can provide some of the same kind of benefits that proven animal-assisted therapy can, which include improvements in mood and the quality of life for seniors, including those with dementia.

And it’s not just about helping those with dementia. It’s also about dealing with the problem of loneliness and isolation among older people. In April, 2020, after New York aging departments shut down their adult day programs due to the pandemic, the state placed a bulk order for more than a thousand robot cats and dogs.

“The pets went quickly, and caseworkers started asking for more,” wrote Katie Engelhart in a recent story for the New Yorker, What Robots Can—and Can’t—Do for the Old

V SER ING S IORS

Kelly Langan, JABA's Charlottesville Adult Care Center Activities Coordinator with Goldie the Dog and Fuzzy the Cat.

and Lonely. “...people liked the pets so much that the batteries ran out.

Caseworkers joked that their clients had loved them to death.”

A year later, New York had given out 2,260 robotic pets and was waiting on the delivery of a thousand more. Here in Charlottesville, the Jefferson Area Board for Aging’s Charlottesville and Louisa Adult Care Centers recently welcomed two robotic cats and dogs that were donated by VATS (Virginia Assistive Technology System) and The Department of Aging Rehabilitative Services.

“We have two members in particular with dementia, who have responded positively to robotic pet therapy,” says Kelly Langan, JABA’s Charlottesville Adult Care Center Activities Coordinator. “Similarly, they both find comfort in cuddling and talking to the animals, and consider them to be living pets. This is no surprise, as the robots sound and move just like a real cat or dog. They roll over, bark, purr, turn their heads when spoken to, etc…”

“Companies are investing more and more into developing robotic companions,” writes Engelhart, “a development that raises all sorts of interesting questions about human/ machine relationships and the future of caregiving for the elderly, especially in a country where almost thirty percent of Americans over sixty-five, mostly women, live alone.”

Indeed, while robotic pets are in demand, robotic companions that can imitate human interaction have been in development for years.

Deanna Dezern, an 88-year old woman who lives Florida, was given a robotic companion called ElliQ, which looks like a desk lamp, and can develop a “personality profile” through repeated interaction, a kind of advanced Siri or Alexa that can greet her unprompted in different ways, learn her sleep patterns, suggest activities that interest her, and provide personalized motivational suggestions using encouragements, even jokes. Developers say ElliQ will soon be able to remind people to take meds, monitor health symptoms, and point out health risks.

“Deanna said the robot was good at making her smile,” wrote Engelhart. “Maybe that wasn’t intimacy, but it didn’t feel like solitude, either.”

“And how do you wrap your head around the fact that she is, you know, a machine?” Engelhart asked.

“My last husband was a robot, but he wasn’t as good as her,” Deanna said, with a thin smile. “I know she can’t feel emotions, but that’s O.K. I feel enough for the both of us.”

FO

When we complain, feel lonely, or are going through a hard time, it’s often said that all we really need is someone to listen to us, not try to fix things for us. Something like “I hear what you’re saying” or “I support you 100 percent” will often work wonders, despite how robotic the supportive listener might feel the offering to be.

Well, then, what if an actual robot were offering this kind of emotional support? Could it be as effective as a human listener?

Well, research suggests the answer is yes and no. While a robot can’t replace the direct attention of a family member or a good friend, researchers are finding that the rapidly evolving technology can help older adults with dementia or those experiencing loneliness and isolation.

For instance, while they’re not mimicking human companionship, there’s a growing amount of research showing that robotic pets

The result is the studio album Emit Time, a mix of new music and unreleased tracks that integrate the sounds of heavy rock, funk, jazz, bluegrass, electronic, and more. The band’s live show is a well-balanced journey through sound, with moments of wild dancing followed by periods of thoughtful contemplation. $18-20, 8pm.

Nacho mama’s taco joint

Can’t get enough of Brazos uniquely composed tacos? (We’re looking at you chimichurri steak and potatoes taco.) The hip Austin-style spot announced that a new location is coming to the Barracks Road Shopping Center this spring. The second shop will include all Brazos’ favorites alongside a full dinner and bar menu. The full-service restaurant will expand the friendly, fast-casual Brazos’ concept into a more traditional (but no less friendly) dining experience.

Sip away Do the recent snowstorms have you dreaming of a beach vacation? The folks at DuCard Vineyards have taken those dreams a step further: They’re opening a satellite tasting room in Nassau, Bahamas, for the winter.“It’s only the first week of January, and frankly we’re already just sick and tired of the snow and cold,” says winery president Scott Elliff.

Customers can order home delivery of wines, and visit the tropical location from their living room by using the BeamMeUp app on their phones, or tough it out locally at the Madison County tasting room with firepits, blankets, patio tent heaters, and more.

Counting the Milli-seconds

Milli Coffee Roasters has a new spot on the Downtown Mall. Milli Second Cafe & Wine Bar, located in the recently opened CODE

building, is serving both sides of the work day by offering coffee during the day and morphing into a wine bar at night. The chic spot is nestled in the CODE building’s furnished lounge area, and is a great way to check out the mall’s newest digs.

Champions of the craft

In December, Charlottesville-based Champion Brewing Company and Reason Beer merged into a juggernaut of specialty craft brews. And there’s no need to worry about your Shower Beer or Hoppy Blonde—both companies will still offer their individual lines, and all staff has been retained under the Champion brand. The new venture has Champion founder Hunter Smith at the helm with Jeff Raileanu, co- founder of Reason Beer, as chief financial officer. “It’s a great opportunity for Reason to leverage the reach of Champion’s distribution, and for both brands to streamline operations

under a single roof,” says Raileanu. Until now, Reason Beer has been available only in Virginia, while Champion can be found all over the East Coast. Raileanu hopes the brand that he and his team have worked so hard to build will continue to see success and growth with this new partnership.

“Both brands are community-focused and philanthropic; it will be incredible to see our joint impact,” Smith says.

Can we place an order yet?

Next on our 2022 to-do list? Line up to get into Umma’s (start camping out now people), the new Korean/Japanese-inspired restaurant from the founders of Basan food truck in collab with Mama Bird/ Sussex Farm. The super popular Basan food truck launched after Charlottesville’s Kelsey Naylor and Anna Gardner spent a year learning to cook at a small bar in rural Japan. “Basan in a lot of ways is shaped by the meals we cooked in our apartment in Miyakonojo, for ourselves and for our other friends,” says Naylor. The brick-andmortar Umma’s is scheduled to open sometime this spring in the former Moe’s BBQ space on Water Street.—Will Ham

oy is something we must create space for, says artist Kori Price. In her first solo exhibition, “You can’t compromise my joy,” on display at the Welcome Gallery through January 28, the artist explores the relationship Black women in particular have with their own happiness amid external pressure to compromise it.

As the title suggests, Price celebrates the choice to feel joy while acknowledging that it is a choice and rarely comes passively.

“For Black women, choosing joy is an act of resistance,” she says. Resistance to fear, Price points out, which can come in the form of relatively minor acts of exclusion or major acts of overt violence. But, she insists, to live with fear or to live with joy is ultimately a choice.

“There’s not a lot that we can control in our lives, but we can control how we face the world,” Price says.

Grounded in portraits of Black women in moments of personal joy, the exhibition brings in cultural references to build an atmosphere of tension in the room between two contrasting emotions. A tapestry of weaves in a variety of different hairstyles curtains the gallery’s front windows, individual pages hang in the middle of the room—pieces from the Louisville police report on the shooting of Breonna Taylor in her home in March of 2020.

“What I wanted to create was a headspace,” says Price. “When you walk through the door, you walk through the fringe, you’ve touched her hair, and you are now intimate with this headspace of a Black woman.” Inside that head, you have to nav-

igate through the evidence of violence to reach the portraits of joy.

“I thought it was important to place [the case files] as such where it made it a little difficult to walk through the gallery, because it’s an obstacle,” she says.

Yet the focus of her work remains on the strength and resilience of her subjects.

Branching out from a background in portraiture, Price’s photography retains a core theme of identity. Her 2018 series, “28 Days of Black Hair,” is also a celebration of self that lands with a similar weight of an “act of resistance.”

“I think Black hair is an entry point into having deeper discussions about class and race and identity and how all of those things intersect,” says Price. “I wasn’t natural for a long time. I permed my hair, and what I didn’t realize until I started digging into this is that we were trying to fit in, and to fit in means to look white.”

Price’s portraits often stand in resistance to that pressure. For “You can’t compromise my joy,” she asked her subjects a simple question: What are the things that bring you joy? What we see are their answers.

“I felt privileged and honored to be able to document the different ways that Black women in our community experience joy,” Price says of the process. “There’s definitely some photos where people aren’t smiling, because joy isn’t all about smiles. It’s about feeling like, okay, I’m in the right place.”

As for Price, her joy is found close to home. “I’m a very proud nerd and I love playing video games,” she admits. A picture of herself, she imagines, “would have my headsets on, nose almost to the TV, with the guys that I play with online, and we’d just be in it.”

Photographer Kori Price’s first solo exhibition, “You can’t compromise my joy” is at Welcome Gallery though Friday.

F

rom start to finish, Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley is a dreary, plodding, flashy reminder of why filmmakers should leave great movies alone.

The William Gresham novel was adapted into a 1947 film noir classic, and again by Del Toro­—but Del Toro’s misuse of excellent source material is the real nightmare here.

The film follows Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a fugitive who joins a traveling carnival, and seduces Zeena (Toni Collette), a phony mentalist, to learn how to perform her alcoholic partner Pete’s (David Strathairn) sideshow tricks. Stanton gradually develops more sophisticated, lucrative con games, assisted by his younger lover, Molly (Rooney Mara). Unscrupulous psychologist Judith Ritter (Cate Blanchett) then aids him in grander, darker schemes.

Nightmare Alley has proved a box office bomb, just like the 1947 version, which tanked partly because pretty-boy lead Tyrone Power sought to shatter his nice-guy image by playing a lowlife, which only repelled audiences. It seems like 21st-century audiences are having a similar reaction to Cooper’s casting as a creep. That’s where the similarities between the two films end.

Director Edmund Goulding gave his Nightmare Alley a raw, tightly wound intensity, leaving the viewer feeling truly hellbound. Its portrayal of broken-down carny mentalist Pete remains one of the most terrifying depictions of chronic alcoholism in film history.

Del Toro, however, revels in silly excess.

Hideous gore provides periodic sophomoric shocks. The film is totally humorless, and all style without substance. The camera roves needlessly, and the cast always seems to be lit with green gels. The film’s costume design and art direction are solid, but the sets become a distraction. One sequence takes place in an overwrought carny funhouse simply because Del Toro obviously thought it looked cool. Lilith’s office is an Art Deco stunner, but its visual splendor upstages Cooper and Blanchett.

As for the cast, Cooper is wrong for Stanton, and shows little of the cynical hardness that Power radiated. In interviews, Del Toro has derided superficial clichés that people generally associate with film noir style. But his film is devoid of any dark ambiance­— Blanchett lays her hokey femme fatale act on as cartoonishly as Carol Burnett impersonating Barbara Stanwyck. The supporting cast is better: Mara, Ron Perlman, and Willem Dafoe are standouts.

As with all his films, Del Toro gets derivative, and here he references everything from Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World” to Tales from the Crypt comics. An avowed fan of director Tod Browning, Del Toro lifts a memorable “spider girl” act from Browning’s The Show and aims to emulate Browning’s classic Freaks.

Browning, however, actually drew on his own firsthand experiences working as a carny. Del Toro is merely referencing other people’s work—a kind of lame reality-twice-removed.

Del Toro and co-screenwriter Kim Morgan affect authenticity by casually tossing in peri-

Nightmare Alley R, 150 minutes Violet Crown Cinema od slang like “blind pig” (a speakeasy), yet undo any genuine-sounding dialogue with anachronistic terms like “daddy issues.”

The seedy world of carnivals is deeply fascinating material, but here it’s just tedious.

Like an actual carny, this Nightmare Alley is all a façade, as phony as a midway barker’s pitch. Although it’s not nearly as bad as Del Toro’s earlier remake of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, it’s just as unwelcome. Skip this and see the far superior original.

You need the catalytic stimulation that comes from associating with curious, open-minded folks who are committed to the high art of not being know-it-alls. The influences you surround yourself with will be key in your efforts to learn new information and master new skills. And that will be an essential assignment for you throughout 2022.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Author Helen Hunt Jackson said that one component of happiness is “a little less time than you want.”

Why? Because you always “have so many things you want to see, to have, and to do” and “no day is quite long enough for all you would like to get done before you go to bed.”

I propose you experiment with this definition in the coming weeks. According to my astrological analysis, you will have even more interesting assignments and challenges than usual—as well as a brimming vitality that will make it possible for you to accomplish many but not all of them. Your happiness should be abundant!

Taurus

Gemini (May 21–June 20): According to author Olivia Dresher, “Feelings want to be free. Thoughts want to be right.” Well, then, what about in-

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Since the iconoclastic planet Uranus is a chief symbol for the Aquarian tribe, you people are more likely to be dissenters and mavericks and questioners than all the other signs. That doesn’t mean your departures from orthodoxy are always successful or popular. Sometimes you meet resistance from the status quo. Having offered that caveat, I’m happy to announce that in the coming weeks, your unique offerings are more likely than usual to be effective. For inspiration, read these observations by author Kristine Kathryn Rusch: “Rebels learn the rules better than the rule-makers do. Rebels learn where the holes are, where the rules can best be breached. Become an expert at the rules. Then break them with creativity and style.” tuitions? In a sense, they’re hybrids of feelings and thoughts. They’re a way of knowing that transcends both feelings and thoughts. When intuitions come from the clear-seeing part of your deep psyche rather than the fear-prone part of your conditioning, they are sweet and fun and accurate and humble and brisk and pure. They don’t “want” to be anything. I’m pleased to inform you, Gemini, that in the coming weeks, your intuitions will be working at peak efficiency. It should be relatively easy for you to distinguish between the clear-seeing and fear-prone modes of intuition.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “If you are going to do something wrong, at least enjoy it,” wrote humorist Leo Rosten. I offer his counsel to you right now because I want you to have fun if you wander away from your usual upstanding behavior. But may I make a suggestion? As you depart from normal, boring niceness, please remain honorable and righteous. What I’m envisioning for you are experiments that are disruptive in healthy ways, and dares that stir up interesting problems, and rebellious explorations that inspire beauty and truth. They’ll be “wrong” only in the sense of being mutinies against static, even stagnant, situations that should indeed be prodded and pricked. Remember Bob Dylan’s idea: “To live outside the law, you must be honest.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo actor Anna Kendrick bragged, “I’m so humble it’s crazy. I’m like the Kanye West of humility.” I’d like to see you adopt that extravagant approach to expressing your magnificence in the coming weeks. I hope you’ll add another perspective to your repertoire, too—this one from Leo actor Mae West. She exulted, “Too much of

a good thing can be wonderful!” Here’s one further attitude I encourage you to incorporate, courtesy of Leo author Rachel Pollack: “To learn to play seriously is one of the great secrets of spiritual exploration.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sammy Davis Jr. was multi-talented: an actor, singer, comedian, and dancer. One critic described him as “the greatest entertainer ever to grace a stage.” He didn’t think highly of his own physical appearance, however. “I know I’m dreadfully ugly,” Davis said, “one of the ugliest men you could meet. But ugliness, like beauty, is something you must learn how to use.” That’s an interesting lesson to meditate on. I think it’s true that each of us has rough, awkward, irregular aspects— if not in our physical appearance, then in our psyches. And yet, as Davis suggested, we can learn to not just tolerate those qualities, but use them to our advantage. Now is a favorable time for you to do that.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It is the nature of love to work in a thousand different ways,” wrote the mystic Saint Teresa of Avila. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re due to discover new and different ways to wield your love magic—in addition to the many you already know and use. For best results, you’ll have to be willing to depart from old reliable methods for expressing care and tenderness and nurturing. You must be willing to experiment with fresh approaches that may require you to stretch yourself. Sounds like fun to me!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If you are drilling for water, it’s better to drill one 60-foot well than 10

six-foot wells,” advised author and religious scholar Huston Smith. He was using well-drilling as a metaphor, of course—as a symbol for solving a problem, for example, or developing a spiritual practice, or formulating an approach to psychological healing. The metaphor might not be perfectly applicable for everyone in every situation. But I believe it is vividly apropos for you and your current situations.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A well-worn proverb tells us, “All good things come to those who wait.”

There’s a variation, whose author is unknown (although it’s often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln): “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left behind by those who hustle.” I think that’s far more useful advice for you in the coming weeks. I’d much rather see you hustle than wait. Here’s a third variant, which may be the best counsel of all.

It’s by author Holly Woodward: “All good things come to those who bait.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote, “To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.” I agree, which is why I authorize you to add “Saint” to the front of your name in the coming weeks.

There’s an excellent chance you will fit the description Stowe articulated. You’ll be at the peak of your power to elevate the daily rhythm into a stream of subtle marvels. You’ll be quietly heroic. If you’re not fond of the designation “Saint,” you could use the Muslim equivalent term, “Wali,” the Jewish “Tzadik,” Buddhist “Arhat,” or Hindu “Swami.”

(April 20-May 20): Born under the sign of Taurus, Ethel Smyth had considerable skills as a composer of music, an athlete, an author, a passionate lover, and an activist working for women’s rights. She was successful in all of them. I propose we make her one of your role models for the coming months. Why? First, because she did more than one thing really well, and you are now primed to enhance your versatility, flexibility, and adaptability. Second, because she described a formula for high achievement that would suit you well. She said, “Night after night I went to sleep murmuring, ‘Tomorrow I will be easy, strong, quick, supple, accurate, dashing and self-controlled all at once!’”

RESTAURANT WEEK

™

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28THSATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH

THE HOW TO’S MAKE THE MOST OF THESE EIGHT DELICIOUS DAYS The very first C-VILLE Restaurant Week had foodies buzzing and tables filling up faster than a top chef can slice a ripe tomato. Ditto for this one in winter 2022. Getting in on the fun is easy–but it requires a little planning.

Here’s how.

STEP 1: Mark your calendar for Friday, January 28th Saturday, February 5th

STEP 2:

January 26 - February 1, 2022 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Peruse the menus from the participating restaurants to decide which ones suit your fancy. With so many participating, you can’t visit one every night!

STEP 3: Call each restaurant directly to make your reservation, and mention that you’re coming in specifically for Restaurant Week. Reservations are first-come, first-served and chefs report that interest has been running high, so don’t tarry.

STEP 4:

C R

3 prices:

W

$19 $29 $39

C-VILLERESTAURANTWEEK.COM $1 per meal benefits the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank

Show up on time, and make sure you’re dressed to make your mama proud, since some of the participating establishments have dress codes.

STEP 5: Make sure you order off the special “Restaurant Week” menu, as some of the participating restaurants will also offer their regular—i.e. more expensive— menu. (Everyone will be dismayed, and you might end up washing dishes, if you order the $45 flaming surf and turf that’s not part of the special prix fixe menu.)

STEP 6: Savor your meal, and when paying your bill, please remember that drinks, tax and tips are not included.

n and around a town Southern Living names as one of the best to retire to, the attractions are many and the pleasures are varied.

Is the outdoors your great love?

Nearby you have the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park, and Wintergreen’s four-season resort, not to mention Charlottesville’s recreation spots like McIntire and Darden Towe parks.

Hiking and climbing and every manner of winter and water sports all have their clubs and their aficionados here, and no fewer than eight golf courses beckon the brave and the bluffing. Play by day, then catch the Hoos in a basketball game at night. Football, baseball, tennis, lacrosse, they play 12 men’s and 13 women’s sports at the University of Virginia.

Or are you the culture vulture or a lifelong learning and “let’s go hear that lecture” type?

“The University” holds concerts and classes, and hosts both big name and inhouse expert speakers, and what they don’t present, you can catch at the John Paul

easy all find Central Virginia, and the Charlottesville area in particular, a fine place to be.

“Central Virginia attracts people of all ages,” says REALTOR® Pam Dent. “Our convenient location and various routes of travel—train, bus, and airport—allow residents to travel easily. In addition, our area offers great hospitals, beautiful landscapes including mountains and lakes, as well as a multitude of hikes, wineries, and breweries. It’s the idyllic place to study, work, play, and retire.”

The Center Lifelong learning programs, special speakers and civic conversations, and all manner of health and exercise classes make Charlottesville’s senior center, now renamed The Center at Belvedere, the epicenter of activity for Central Virginia’s ‘seasoned citizens.’

Members fill volunteer positions and help make The Center the friendly—and dynamic—place it is. Even with a pandemic on, total membership has remained

tal wellness programs such as a recent Energy Clinic to guide people to other local resources to save energy and money.

And we’ve had 100-300 people per session for our Building a More Inclusive Community: Local Voices on Diversity speaker series.

“Thursdays around 5 concerts have been fun for families and all ages. A performing arts auditorium seating 375 (250 for banquets) hosts concerts and other special events including the Wednesday Music Club WHAT and Charlottesville Opera.”

Food trucks make weekly lunchtime visits to the Center—patios front and back are prime spots to eat---and a February 17 day trip will bring Anglophiles and no doubt a few genuine, transplanted Brits to Miss Minerva’s Team Room in Culpeper to enjoy a full English tea. A Greenberry’s coffee shop indoors offers great joe and more, every day.

OLLI Further educational and intellectual enrichment for active adults can be found

Volunteers at the Senior Helpline work with seniors who have issues or want to sign up for services, provide checkin calls from staff while Community Senior Centers are closed, offer a home delivered meals program, and coordinate with local Sheriff departments to help seniors at risk.

The At Home with JABA program also offers activity kits and conference call activities that work even when someone’s power or internet is down. Along with nursing homes, serious medical care is provided by Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital, and by the University of Virginia Health System, which includes a hospital as well as medical and cancer care centers.

Active Seniors Communities While many retirees love to nest in established, mixed-age neighborhoods, others seek out developments built specifically for the 55-and-up crowd. We have them here in abundance.

A Great Place to Retire:

Why Seniors Love Central Virginia

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Jones Arena, the Ting Pavilion downtown, or at a lovely theater or little club on the Downtown Mall. Movie—let’s make that “film”—buffs have foreign gems, independent docs, and upcoming Hollywood blockbusters to look forward to when the university-sponsored Virginia Film Festival comes around each October.

Bibliophiles love the Virginia Festival of the Book each March. Each festival brings in authors, actors, and industry insiders for readings and screenings, interviews and Q and A’s.

Do you dream of launching a little second-career start-up, just for the fun of it, or to pad your grandkids’ education purse? UVA and the local business community can offer encouragement, expertise and seed money.

Do you enjoy visiting and exploring sites of early American history? Do you relish fine dining and adventurous eating? Is a moderate climate a must? But you get the idea, and we’re getting ahead of ourselves. “Active seniors” and retirees who just want to kick back and take it

stable at 1,500, and Executive Director Peter M. Thompson predicts “exponential growth once COVID slows down.”

What’s more, much of what The Center offers is free to anyone of any age in the community.

“Our visual arts classes, dance (tap, line, ballroom, folk and more) programs, mind-body such as Tai Chi and Yoga, and all our social programs including game groups are particularly popular these days,” Thompson notes. “In nonCOVID times, our travel, volunteering, and special events are also very popular.

“The Sentara Family Medicine Clinic on site provides vital services for all ages.

The Center also features two group exercise studios with sprung floors as well as an equipped fitness room. We have also revived programs on dementia for individuals and their families in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association and JABA. We will also offer Tax Aide with AARP again this year.

“We are working with the Community Climate Collaborative for environmen-

at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Virginia.

Member-directed and staffed, OLLI draws upon its members as well as the larger academic community resources to organize courses and other educational activities. Residents 60 and older can also take noncredit classes tuition-free at UVA and other area schools, including Piedmont Community College.

JABA Seniors in need of care, and their families and caregivers who are in need of support, are grateful for JABA, the Jefferson Area Board for Aging, which provides services at seven community centers in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Nelson and Louisa counties as well as in the City of Charlottesville.

Adult Care Centers offer both independent seniors and dementia sufferers stimulating activities, nutritious snacks and lunches, opportunities to socialize, and professional care to aid and sooth the worries of family caregivers.

K. Hovnanian’s® Four Seasons at Charlottesville, actually located in Ruckersville in Greene County just 25 minutes from the city, is one such community. The development’s 110 individually detached, luxuriously appointed homes have wonderful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Both single-level and multi-level designs (with first floor master suites) are available. All come with two-car garages.

Four Seasons is a collegial community whose amenities include acres of green space, lakes and trails, a clubhouse with a tennis court, indoor/ outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a library. The club house boasts a fulltime activities director.

“Age in place” continuing care communities typically offer barrier-free “universal design” architectural features that allow residents to stay in their homes as long as possible. Features may include “zero threshold” (no steps) entries and three-foot wide hallways and doorways.

Bathrooms may come with high toilet

seats, walk-in showers, non-slip floors, grab bars and a five-foot turning radius.

Pot fillers over stoves eliminate the need to carry heavy pots of water from sink to stove. Doors with lever handles and lights with rocker switches require less hand strength. All these design elements make one-story homes safe and comfortable for active but less than agile occupants, including those in wheelchairs.

Along with these practical architectural features, many such developments advertise “maintenance free living,” in which all necessary work on a home’s exterior and grounds is paid for through homeowner association dues. New model villages, virtual resorts for Boomers entering not their second childhoods, but their second carefree youthhoods, offer amenities like pool and fitness centers, and bocce and tennis courts, that facilitate community and make for luxury living.

For example, Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge prides itself on its luxurious homes, and its metropolitan amenities with small-town charm and its endless opportunities to stay active, engaged and involved, all in a setting of breath-taking natural beauty. Homeowners in the sprawling community on Pantops in Charlottesville may cook at home or enjoy five-star dining. Monthly fees remain the same throughout a lifetime, no matter what level of care is needed (or not).

Branchlands Charlottesville’s Branchlands neighborhood offers attached homes and con-

dominiums, just off Hillsdale Drive and nearby Route 29, not far from the Fashion Square Mall. Connie Cameron moved to Charlottesville from Wytheville in 2018.

She finds Branchlands conveniently located for shopping, and perfectly situated for walking and exercising. “It’s pretty here,” she says today. “I like the pond, and I like [the] path around the pond because that’s where I get my exercise. it’s really lovely here in all the seasons. And it’s a friendly neighborhood.”

Connie’s neighbor, Lithuanian-born Irina Carson, displays a small American flag outside of her condominium. Irina moved to Charlottesville from Iowa in 2013 for a nursing position at UVA Hospital. “I wanted to live someplace where, in case my car fails, I could walk to work,” she says. “It was one of my best decisions.

It’s open here, it’s not like a regular condominium apartment,” she says, referring to the grounds which include a lovely pond, a perfect spot for enjoying sunsets.

“I like my garden.

“What I heard from my real estate agent is that there are serious responsible people here. The people are nice. I like that it’s an academic little town, that people are educated mostly, and ambitious.” Raised in a cold country, she loves the central Virginia climate. “Richmond is not far, Washington is not far, the ocean is not far. The mountains are not far. If you want to have a good family life and good schools, this is the place.”

The Branchlands development is also home to a full-service senior living community. The stately Manor House at

Branchlands offers independent living with a range of amenities to its residents, who are free to come and go as they please. Next door, Linden House Assisted Living and Memory Care offers round-the-clock services for seniors with greater day-to-day needs.

With its natural beauty, excellent care and housing, and dynamic senior population, it’s no wonder retirees love it here. In fact, of all the states in the nation, retiring women and singles are most likely to choose Virginia, according to an analysis of Census Bureau survey data conducted by the HireAHelper moving company.

RE/MAX REALTOR® Karen Kehoe has seen this firsthand. “New England, New York, New Jersey, Northern Virginia—retirees are coming from all over,” Kehoe says, “and they’re coming with talents and skills and interests that enrich the community. They’re coming in at 50 and 55-years old, and they’re very active. They bring in capital and they don’t tax your schools and they volunteer.”

Thanks to their decades of experience, say Peter Thompson at the Center, “seniors provide wit and wisdom to the next generations of workers, parents, and citizens. Our community needs more bridge builders today more than ever in our lifetimes and older adults can provide perspective and guidance to help all of us navigate through addressing the issues of our day.”

If they sound like good citizens and great company, well, they are.
