Warning: this issue will make you hungry.

Our feature this week collects Thanksgiving advice from some of Charlottesville’s finest soul food chefs. They’ll help you straighten out your plans for the big day, whether it’s the bird, the sides, or, crucially, the drinks. And if takeout is more your style, there’s also a roundup of local to-go options for a low-stress meal. At the very least, you’ll be ready to eat.

This will be an unusual Thanksgiving. Our rituals will change in obvious ways, as we gather in smaller groups and abandon our traditional travel plans. But the meaning of the whole event seems to have taken on a new shape, too. There’s a certain cruelty in holding a holiday centered around gratitude after such a thoroughly dreadful year. The pandemic has killed millions of people, destroyed the economy, disrupted everyone’s lives in ways big and small. For many people, after all that, gratitude may be a bridge too far.

At the same time, the holiday asks us to look on the bright side, even when the bright side seems distant. We can live with huge problems that are out of our control by focusing on the little victories closer at hand. Whether it’s family, friendship, health, food, or something in between, I hope you still have something to be thankful for, and I hope you find time to appreciate it in between bites of stuffing.—Ben Hitchcock

Governor Northam announced on Monday that he will support legislation to fully legalize marijuana in the next year’s General Assembly session. Last year, the assembly decriminalized the drug, making possession punishable with a fine rather than a misdemeanor.

Monday night’s City Council meeting adjourned just after 9:30pm, a mercifully early finish. This year, council meetings, which begin at 6:30 pm, have regularly run into the wee hours of the morning.

As councilors and observers have noted, holding important discussions late in the evening makes public participation difficult

for working people, and also puts a strain on the city’s staff.

This week’s early adjournment comes in part thanks to a scheduling tweak made by council, which will now listen to reports by city staff—like Monday’s report on the city’s fiscal year 2021 budget—in the afternoon, rather than during the evening meetings.

Police problems An October blog post from the Rugby Avenue Unitarian Universalist church circulated this week, describing yet another example of troubling behavior from the Charlottesville Police Department. Per the blog post, a Black male church member was walking down the sidewalk, on his way to help clean the playground, when a UVA student called the cops. Five police cars flocked to the scene and accosted the church member for questioning before letting him proceed. An internal investigation is ongoing, and will conclude in around two weeks, says CPD spokesman Tyler Hawn.

In June, two blocks of 16th Street in Washington, D.C., were renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza.

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

ant to take a walk down Black History Pathway? Or maybe Waneeshee Way? Or even Tony Bennett Drive? Soon, you might be able to.

These are among the honorary street names that area residents have submitted to the city in recent months.

After debating the issue late into the night during several meetings, Charlottesville City Council decided in September to send nearly a dozen honorary street name proposals to the Historic Resources Committee, seeking guidance on the evaluation process.

During its November 13 virtual meeting, the committee decided to completely revamp the honorary street naming policy before tackling the applications.

Until recently, the city rarely received new street name proposals. But around the country, people and governments have sought to commemorate the year’s events by redesignating their physical environment. In Washington, D.C., for example, two blocks of 16th Street were transformed into Black Lives Matter Plaza, with huge yellow letters painted on the pavement.

Charlottesville currently has a dozen honorary street names. Recent designations include Heather Heyer Way, honoring the victim of the 2017 white supremacist attack, and Winneba Way, named for our sister city in Ghana.

“Up until now this process has been very ad hoc,” said committee member Phil Varner. “We’re really trying to nail down [how] exactly should we do this... what exactly are the policy criteria, and what does the application actually look like for it [and] mean?”

Under the current policy, proposals are limited to individuals, organizations, entities, events, or something of local significance. While the committee agreed to keep these broad categories, it suggested that some honorary streets could be temporary, while others could be permanent, depending on the will of the nominator.

“Especially in a small city like this, [rotating] can be beneficial if there are this many people that should be honored,” said member Sally Duncan.

Committee member Jalane Schmidt expressed concern over the sunset period, and how it may lead to individuals “who’ve been excluded from conventional historical narratives” to only be recognized for a few years, while many city streets have had the names of racists for over a century.

After member Dede Smith pointed out that the city’s current honorary markers offer no information about who or what they’re named after, committee chair Rachel Lloyd suggested the creation of a website with a detailed history about each street name, as well as including them on the updated historic walking tour.

SALLY DUNCAN, HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMITTEE MEMBER

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

L

ate on a rainy night in February, the plaque marking the location where enslaved people were bought and sold in Court Square disappeared. Shortly after, area activist Richard Allan came forward as the culprit, saying he removed the marker—and threw it in the James River— because it was an insufficient remembrance of the horrors that had occurred on the spot.

Allan was arrested and briefly jailed.

Nine months later, he’s among the leaders of a group of citizens advocating for the creation of a Court Square Enslavement Museum. They also want to see the installation of an immediate stop-gap commemorative marker on the site of the old auction block. (The spot is currently marked out with a paper replica of the original plaque and a few small flower pots.)

Last week, the city’s Historic Resources Committee urged patience, citing ongoing discussions over the future of the site.

The citizens’ group supporting the museum recently submitted a proposal to the state’s Department of Historic Resources, asking the state to place a commemorative sign on the location as a short-term solution.

The proposal requires a sign-off from the city, however, and so a handful of citizens made their case at the meeting.

“We come to speak not about the museum, but about a basic yet highly important historic marker,” said Marvin Morgan, the interim pastor at Sojourners United Church of Christ. “Make haste in your response so this may be properly marked. Then current passersby—young and old and generations yet unborn—may be reminded of what happened on the space that is Court Square.”

Marie Coles Baker echoed those comments, noting that the spot had been inadequately marked for decades. “It’s certainly time, I think, to move very quickly and get

The original plaque marking the spot of the auction block was removed from Court Square in February, leaving the city with an opportunity to re-imagine the location.

the historic site recognized and a marker placed there,” she said.

The HRC declined to endorse the proposal, however. After the plaque was removed in February, the committee began engaging with descendants of those who were bought and sold in Court Square to determine the appropriate way to memorialize the space.

That process was disrupted by the pandemic, and committee members felt it should continue before more decisions were made.

The engagement process so far has been “very deliberate,” said committee member Phil Varner. “That is the type of process that should occur with these types of things. Particularly with the people that are most affected by this.”

“This independent proposal has circumvented the community engagement process that was ongoing with the descendant community,” said committee member Jalane Schmidt. “What’s become standard in public history over the last decade or two is to do that community engagement work, to get the feedback from those most affected.”

Committee chair Rachel Lloyd noted that a larger, years-long joint effort by the city and county to reshape Court Square is underway. “The entire landscape of the Court Square block may be subject to a lot of changes,” Lloyd said. “We want to understand the whole commemorative context as we go forward.”

After the meeting, Allan said he was “flummoxed” by the committee’s decision. Baker is confident a new memorial will be placed one way or another. “It’s certainly a time to strike while the fire and the sentiment is hot, and I think they will,” she says.

The public engagement process isn’t over. “I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the process of the public, of people who took their own time and energy to come together, express their concern, and took collective action at a time when city actions were stifled,” said committee member Genevieve Keller. “I would welcome your continued participation in this greater process.”

Seal of disapproval council—was not in favor of starting the process now, citing the city’s long list of current priorities.

“I don’t think our current city logo represents us as a city. I think we have changed. We have been reexamining who we are,” said Magill. “But with COVID, where our businesses [and] people are right now, diverting city dollars or staff time when we need to be figuring some other things out, we might need to take a look at this in six months.”

Interim City Manager John Blair agreed to put the logo redesign back on council’s agenda in June. In the meantime, city staff will evaluate how much the replacement process will cost.—Brielle Entzminger

As Charlottesville seeks to rectify its racist past by renaming buildings and removing Confederate statues, the city’s colorful patch logo is the next to be updated. It consists of four symbols: the UVA Rotunda, a dogwood blossom, a cannon, and the downtown statues of the U.S. presidents from the Charlottesville area—James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe.

During its Monday meeting, City Council briefly discussed changing the logo by hosting a community design contest, which is how it was originally selected in 1971.

Though Councilor Sena Magill had inquired with city staff about a new logo, landing it on the meeting agenda, she—along with the rest of

submitted to the city over the summer. Several seek to honor notable Black figures, like activist Wyatt Johnson and enslaved laborer Henry Martin, and historical events, like the razing of Vinegar Hill, while other proposals cover a variety of categories, including two in honor of UVA men’s basketball coach Tony Bennett.

In September, before turning to the HRC, City Council approved two of the original 13 applications. One renames a section of Grady Avenue after the late Reverend C.H. Brown, who built 12th Street’s Holy Temple Church of God In Christ in 1947. Behind the church, Brown also constructed several homes, helping the area to become a thriving Black neighborhood.

The other approved request honors the ongoing movement against police violence and systemic racism, recognizing Market Street between First Street Northeast and Ninth Street Northeast as Black Lives Matter Boulevard. It was proposed by community activist Don Gathers.

At its next meeting, the committee will officially vote on the naming policy changes, and decide which of the remaining 11 applications it should recommend for council’s approval, using the newly established guidelines.

Smith also stressed the importance of street names being near the geographic location of the person or thing they are honoring. For instance, a portion of Avon Street is currently named after the late Franklin Delano Gibson, a celebrated philanthropist who owned a grocery store on the street for more than 40 years.

That won’t always be possible, though.

“Because one of the reasons we’re doing this is out of equity concerns, there may be people who aren’t permanently associated with a distinct geography,” said co-chair Genevieve Keller. “We would need to memorialize and honor them anyway [and] find the most appropriate place.”

While some preferred that the street proposals be submitted by city residents, people who live on the street, or family members of the individual being honored, the committee decided to leave the applications open to anyone in the larger Charlottesville area.

However, a public notice will be sent to residents living on the streets with name proposals, so they can provide input on the decision.

The committee also decided to scrap the 500-word essay on the current application, and replace it with a series of short, direct questions about the street proposal.

After deciding on the policy changes, the committee briefly discussed the applications

Protesters gather in front of City Hall to demand more power for the Police Civilian Review Board.

November 18 – 24, 2020 c-ville.com

or more than a year, the Charlottesville Police Civilian Review Board and Charlottesville City Council have been locked in a dispute over how much power the recently established law enforcement oversight board should have. But clarity is coming soon, thanks to new legislation from the Virginia General Assembly.

Over the course of nearly 12 weeks this fall, Virginia lawmakers passed a string of criminal justice reforms, sparked by the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. The assembly’s new Democratic majority brought a variety of progressive changes to policing in Virginia—including allowing for civilian review boards with real power, a common request from activists seeking reform nationwide.

The changes will take effect July 1, 2021, giving lawmakers time to expand the bill to include sheriff ’s departments.

“We can pass as many laws as we want governing law enforcement behavior, but this is the one that ensures that there is meaningful oversight and accountability if things do miss the mark,” Delegate Sally Hudson told the CRB during its November 12 virtual meeting.

In June, the CRB voted to expand its own powers, adopting a set of bylaws that were drawn up by an initial panel of activists and experts last year. At that point, City Council delayed approving the decision until the legislative session had concluded.

In stark contrast to the CRB’s current limited advisory role, the new reforms will allow the board to receive and investigate complaints involving police officers or department employees, with the power to subpoena documents and witnesses. If the accused party is found guilty, the board can issue a binding disciplinary ruling for cases “that involve serious breaches of departmental and professional standards,”

including demotion, suspension without pay, or termination.

Outside of these duties, the CRB will be able to review all of CPD’s internal affairs investigations and issue its own findings on each ruling. It will also have the power to request reports on the department’s annual expenditures and suggest changes—answering local activists’ recent calls for transparency on CPD’s whopping $18 million budget.

Under the new law, the CRB will evaluate CPD’s practices, policies, and procedures, and recommend improvements.

If the department does not implement the changes, the board can require it to issue a public written statement explaining its reasoning.

The CRB’s Vice Chair Will Mendez later expressed frustration over the stipulations put on the board’s law enforcement representative, a position currently held by Phillip Seay. He is able to provide guidance but not vote on decisions, under both the board’s current ordinance and the new state legislation.

“The community didn’t want law enforcement members to vote, because there’s always been a problem with police getting off,” responded Legal Aid Justice Center organizer Harold Folley during public comment. ”We felt like it would be the same way with the [CRB], where the police officer would have bias. ...It’s unfortunate that y’all are pushing that.”

As the CRB waits for the bill to take effect, members will use the powerful provisions to revise the board’s existing ordinance and bylaws, which must be approved by City Council. With the bill’s enactment date just seven months away, CRB members agreed to meet twice a month.

“The worrisome part of it for me is having the support of City Council,” said member Dorenda Johnson. “Even with what has been passed, I am just truly hoping that they will be able to and are willing to help us the way that they should.”

and Thanksgiving go hand in oven mitt. Traditional American fare. Humble ingredients. Big flavors.

“Southern food is indigenous food,” says Ryan Hubbard of soul food and barbecue joint Red Hub Food Co. “You start with Native American influences, and you have basically a melting pot over the course of the next three centuries—African, French influence, even the Great Britain influence.”

Early U.S. Southerners of all ethnicities—but perhaps none more than Black Americans—embraced technique over high-end ingredients at a time when it was a necessity, creating what is known today as soul food.

Slow-cooked meats. Off cuts and offal. Stewed and braised vegetables. Copious amounts of butter, sugar, and salt.

“Soul food can be an acquired taste,” says Jeanetha Douglas of JBD Mobile Catering & Events. But it’s also the taste of family—of large, low-cost meals designed to fill folks up and bring them comfort.

“This time of year is our most successful,” says Shaun Jenkins of Soul Food Joint on Market Street. “People come in and say, ‘this is Thanksgiving early.’”

Who better, then, to ask about the best preparations for Thanksgiving staples—the gravy, the stuffing, the turkey, the pie—than our local soul food standouts, the folks who make the dishes darn near year-round.

T he gr av y For the best slatherin’ sauce, Shaun Jenkins says to keep it simple. “Meat makes its own gravy. You don’t have to add much to it.”

For his own T-givin’ spread, Jenkins says turkey gravy is a must. That means collecting the meat’s natural juices as they run off the bird, adding a thickening agent—he prefers good old-fashioned flour—and your own blend of herbs and spices.

“Especially for a person like me, who likes the white meat, I love to have some of that gravy over the top of my turkey,” Jenkins says. “I can’t give you the exact recipe—that would be my mom’s recipe, of course.”

Okay fine, you should probably put something green on your soulful Thanksgiving table. But no one says your veggies can’t be cooked in pork fat or swimming in cream sauce.

For Angelic Jenkins, the indispensable Thanksgiving extras include fresh collard greens, stewed for a full 24 hours in chicken broth with a ham hock (she makes a vegetarian version for her food truck), diced onions, and top-secret seasonings. “Everybody at home thinks I’m crazy,” she says of her full-day preparation. She grabs fresh instead of canned vegetables for her turkey day green bean casserole, combining the quick-blanched beans, Campbell’s cream of chicken soup (other folks can keep the cream of mushroom), fried onion strings, onion powder, and olive oil, and popping it all in the oven ’til gold and bubbly.

November 18 – 24, 2020 c-ville.com

Stuffing—the most controversial of holiday meal mainstays.

Cook it in the bird or separately? White bread or cornbread?

Sausage or vegetarian?

Angelic Jenkins of Angelic’s Kitchen goes in for the best of both stuffed worlds, making her dressing on the stovetop and finishing it inside the turkey cavity.

“It comes out of the oven, and it is perfect—looks beautiful, the crispiness hanging out of the turkey,” she says. She also insists on chicken broth, never water, for her stuffing, as well as parsley, onion powder, and butter.

Douglas goes all in on direct-to-turkey filling. She prepares her stuffing studded with giblets instead of the ubiquitous sausage, and it goes straight into the poultry pocket. “You have to get all those juices and flavors together,” she says.

“And it keeps your stuffing from drying out.”

Red Hub Food Co.’s Ryan Hubbard suggests you smoke your holiday turkey this year.

“Cooking it slower, it just holds the moisture inside and gets that pinkish-purplish smoke ring,” he says.

C ONTINUED FR OM PA GE 17

Shannon Campbell of Croby’s Urban Viddles agrees on the fresh green bean front, though hers are slow cooked with fatback, salt, and pepper, and mounted with butter and bacon. “Spending time with my family cleaning and snapping the beans is almost better than eating them,” she says.

Shaun Jenkins’ ace in the holiday hole? Deep-fried deviled eggs. “We like to put a spin on things,” he says. “We started deep frying deviled eggs. It’s not exactly soul food, but everyone loves them.”

Th e b ird It seems most of the soul food chefs around town oven roast their turkeys. With the right combination of time, temperature, and basting, everyone believes they have the secret to the perfect bird buffet.

For Douglas, that’s a liberal amount of seasoning, a quick blast at 375 degrees in a convection oven—for “a little crisp on top”—then down to 350 for about four hours of occasional basting. (The convection process of circulating heat around the meat speeds up the cooking time.) Shaun Jenkins recommends liberal amounts of butter: “Rub that thing down,” he says.

If you want to go outside the convection box, Hubbard suggests smoking your holiday fowl. He starts a 48-hour wetbrined turkey and “a really nice smoker” loaded up with wood.

“To be able to brine the turkey and put it on the smoker— that smoked flavor is just so different from what you get out of the oven,” Hubbard says. “Cooking it slower, it just holds the moisture inside and gets that pinkish-purplish smoke ring.

It’s one of those things [where] you can see the difference.”

Hubbard recommends a 225-degree smoker for turkey, and says the wood is critical. Red Hub Food Co. sticks with hickory and oak for its workaday beef and pork, but mixes in fruit woods like apple and cherry for smoked turkey. The fruity smoke stands in for some of the citrus and apple you might see in oven roasted fowl, lending a vibrance and acidic punch.

Hubbard’s last tip? Don’t worry about holding your turkey at temp surrounded by ripping wood smoke the entire cooking time. The smoke imparts most of its flavor in the first hour, he says, so if you lose your hardwood coals or can’t hold 225, don’t fret. Feel free to transfer it to the oven.

Hubbard wraps his birds in foil after an hour and a half to maintain moisture and ensure even cooking—kind of a brisket-style approach. “There is a misconception that the smoke is going to be involved the whole time,” he says.

Campbell has one last tip: Don’t be intimidated by new recipes, techniques, and flavor combinations for the holidays.

Tradition is important, but don’t get stuck in a rut.

“Just try it a week before Thanksgiving so you can perfect the recipe,” she says. “Also, don’t be intimidated by a fancy sounding name. My mom gave me her chocolate cake recipe that included ganache. I didn’t think I could make that. I’m not a formally trained chef. But I Googled, asked a million questions, then just rolled up my sleeves and got cooking.”

Now that’s the holiday spirit.

I recently ordered delivery from Lemongrass via DoorDash. I had the mango curry with tofu, and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory.

On this night, I wasn’t feeling pizza, so I decided to go for another staple—the burger. The cheeseburger is made with local grass-fed beef, sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The burger was cooked perfectly to the temperature I specified, and the toppings tasted fresh. It comes with a large helping of hand-cut French fries—so many that I couldn’t finish them all. It was super satisfying comfort food.—Laura Drummond

TEN sushi to go was the perfect choice to celebrate a birthday with a small group during these careful times. The chef’s omakase nigiri was a glistening, jewel-like array of fresh, perfect slices over rice, the rainbow roll of sashimi wrapped around the kani avocado roll was a decadent, fun conversation starter, and the spicy toro roll stood out with chu toro, avocado, pickled jalapeño, crunch, spicy sauce, and tobiko sending an exhilarating rush of heat and umami across the palate. The easy curbside pickup and careful packaging made for an impressive home dining experience.—Tami K.

All in favor , say p ie Shaun Jenkins, owner of Soul Food Joint, grew up in a pie-loving household. The weekend before Thanksgiving, his mom would make about 40 pies, and folks would stop by to pick one up after church—free of charge.

Jenkins carries on that tradition by baking a bushel of his own favorite sweet potato Thanksgiving tarts every November. We asked a few other soul food chefs for their take on holiday pies, plus we polled our readers about their faves too.

Jeneatha Douglas, JBD Mobile Catering & Events: “My sweet potato—sweet potato pie, most definitely. I have to say I cheat with [a store-bought] crust, but everything else is all me.”

Dejua Douglas, Dejua’s Creations (as told by Jeneatha Douglas): “She does holiday cakes and pies, as well. I would say her favorite pie is a mean apple pie—and sometimes a cherry or peach.”

Angelic Jenkins, Angelic’s Kitchen: “My favorite is apple pie a la mode—those apple pie crumbs and vanilla ice cream, it’s a must-have. It brings happiness and laughter to the whole table.”

Ryan Hubbard, Red Hub Food Co.: “I’m going to go with our chocolate pecan bourbon pie. It’s got that essence of bourbon and uses a 60 percent dark chocolate.”

Shannon Campbell, Croby’s Urban Viddles: “Pecan. My nana made the best pecan pie.”

Selvedge Brewing has been open since midsummer, but only started offering takeout recently. The menu is brewery food, but with Chef Tucker Yoder at the helm in the kitchen, it’s elevated above average pub fare. Online ordering was simple and pickup was quick. The food did not disappoint.

Bibb lettuce salad with garlic dressing was nicely accented by slices of smoked pork jowl and house-pickled red onions that were just the right balance between sweet and sour. Croutons made from pretzel buns brought a bit of crunch. The chicken sandwich is the best I’ve had in town, a pickle-brined thigh fried with light batter that reminds me of Japanese tempura, topped with a generous amount of pickles and some white barbecue sauce. Their small-batch, craft beer is available for takeout only in 32-ounce “crowlers” (single-use cans filled on demand). I opted for the Poplin, an Italian-style pilsner that was light, full of mildly sweet biscuit flavors, with just a hint of bitterness on the finish.—Paul Ting

Spirit guidance

Ge tting in the sp irits

The catch is in the rye for Square One vodka’s Allison Evanow

HOW-TOS FOR TASTING THE HARD STUFF Before tasting, be sure your palate is clean and neutral. Drink water and avoid spicy foods and strong flavors.

Hold the rocks Sip the spirit at room temperature, neat.

Don’t nose it Wave the glass gently to get the aromatics.

Hold the glass slightly away from your face, with the nose outside the glass as you inhale, in order to avoid the “burn” of the alcohol.

Double dip Don’t judge by the first sip. Take it slow, and take a few.

Savor the flavors Depending on the base ingredient, you’ll discover bready/yeasty/cereal notes (vodkas made from grain), vanilla/caramel/ butterscotch notes (oak-aged spirits), smoke/brine/peat (scotches), herbal/vegetal/ earthy (tequilas), and citrus/botanicals of all kinds (flavored spirits like vodka, gin, and aquavit).

F ROM THE IV Y I NN

Perfect pear  1 oz. Square One Organic vodka  1.25 oz. spiced pear liqueur (preferably St. George Distillery Spiced Pear Liqueur or Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear, infused with 2 cinnamon sticks and 14 clove pods for 36-48 hours)  .25 oz. elderflower liqueur  .5 oz. lemon juice Shake with ice for 20 seconds and strain into a chilled coupe/martini glass.

Allison Evanow used her marketing savvy to launch Square One Organic Spirits and put some heat on a lackluster vodka industry with her eco-conscious, 100 percent American rye vodkas.

distillation processes are certified organic, and use 100 percent organic American rye.

This is far more difficult to pull off than the conventional distilling process, but Evanow never deviated from her goal.

“That was the idea, all organic, all real botanicals, plant-based infusions,” she says. “Deriving the extracts or essences from the real plant instead of some guy in a lab coat pretending he made strawberry out of chemicals.”

Evanow made two other key decisions.

She used rye to make her vodka and she took a culinary approach to the science of distillation. Get her going on botanical formulas and she utters poetic streams of ingredients: Pear, rose, lavender, chamomile, lemon verbena, coriander, rosemary, and citrus peel... mandarin, navel, and tangerine...juniper, ginger and coriander. “Our original distiller said, ‘No one has ever talked to me about their spirits the way you do. You come at it like you’re a cook,’” says Evanow.

She chose rye because she didn’t want a sweet style like you get with corn, or an “uber neutral” vodka, typical when using wheat or potato. “What I love about rye is it’s got character,” she says, also quick to note that working with rye is not easy, due to its lower yield and a tougher process to make it certified organic.

After getting her formula down, the next step was to expand the product’s flavor profile.

Square One’s real cucumber flavored vodka was another industry first and it became a bestseller. “That was a beast to make,” says Evanow. “It tasted like pickles, it was so bad.”

The flavor solution came from the world of fine perfumes. “My distiller had been in the

perfume biz before...and went out and worked with six different perfume and flavor companies to find stable extraction essences.” The result tastes fresh from the garden.

At first, the bartending community was lukewarm about putting a new vodka into the lineup. But the use of rye, and the authenticity of Square One’s mission, made it a valid addition to the craft cocktail movement.

Now the vodka is a fixture on cocktail lists at high-end restaurants like Morton’s The Steakhouse and boutique hot spot Goose & Gander in Napa Valley. Jason McKechnie at The Ivy Inn tries to feature a new cocktail with Square One vodka seasonally because the flavors are unique, bold yet balanced, and it’s a product I can trust through and through,” he says.

As with the ingredients and process she uses in her Square One spirits, integrity and authenticity are important to Evanow personally. She’s one of the first women to start her own distilled spirits company, and it’s an industry in which the glass ceiling is still very high. “I’m asked, ‘Did you do this with your husband?’ and I say, ‘No, I started the company and he does not work for me,’” says Evanow.

More women in leadership roles can expand the industry creatively, says Evanow.

She makes sure her brand and marketing is never “dumbed down” and that people know Square One is founded by a woman. “Because, I don’t think a bro would do this,” she says as she carefully inhales the essence of a basil vodka. “I don’t think a bro would care about the quality in this way.”

“That was the idea, all organic, all real botanicals, plant-based infusions. Deriving the extracts or essences from the real plant instead of some guy in a lab coat pretending he made strawberry out of chemicals.” ALLISON EVANOW

facebook.com/cville.weekly

t was the middle of the night in 2004 when Square One organic vodka founder Allison Evanow saw her future.

Evanow’s career, marketing fine beverages had taken the Waynesboro native to Spain, Mexico, and California, working for the Jose Cuervo family before entering the wine industry in Napa.

Maybe it was insomnia, maybe it was the over-exhaustion that stems from new parenthood—or maybe it was a spirit guide.

But Evanow, then the mother of 6-monthold twins, describes waking with a bolt of inspiration that caused her to start planning a new business, her mind flashing back to an advertising campaign she’d come across in Food & Wine magazine earlier that day.

“There was an ad for an American vodka with an old farmer that touted ‘all natural’ and I remember thinking, if it’s all natural why wouldn’t they just go all the way to organic,” says Evanow. “You can cheat all natural.”

She was living in northern California at the time, immersed in the movement toward organic, green, and eco-friendly consumption. Evanow describes the realization that no one was distilling organic spirits as “going off like a bell.” That bell sounded an idea that would alter the spirits business and define her as an innovator in a niche industry.

“I wrote down the name Square One,” says Evanow. “The idea that if you start at square one you’re doing it the right way. No herbicides, no pesticides, no fake stuff. You’re telling the truth in your marketing—and no sexy bikini marketing!”

Initially, she thought she’d run the table and produce organic vodka, rum, and gin.

After writing the business plan, she says reality set in, and the challenges of building her own distillery caused her to focus solely on vodka.

“People ask if I started a vodka company because I like vodka and I say, ‘No I started it because I hated vodka,’” laughs Evanow. Vodka’s bad image on the cocktail scene at the time stemmed from using less expensive, synthetic ingredients, and Evanow says she decided to “focus on the category that needs the most help because they’ve done the most fake stuff.”

Sixteen years after that fitful night, the Square One brand operates from Evanow’s home office in Ivy and features five labels of vodka: clear, cucumber, bergamot, botanical, and basil, plus a line of mixers and readyto-drink canned cocktails—all of them organic.

Fall spiced raspberries, Bing cherries bring fruit and freshness in the glass, while hints of dried tobacco leaf, pink and black peppercorns add a balanced earthy element.

BREAKING WALLS

HELP YOURSELF

Juli Delgado Lopera’s debut novel Fiebre Tropical tells a coming-of-age story that combines visually rich prose with characters who are as colorful as their Miami setting.

Fifteen-year-old Francisca narrates as her Colombian family’s American dream decays after arriving from Bogata. She seeks survival strategies amidst alcoholism, evangelical rituals, and the pressure of coming out. Lopera and Catalina Esguerra will discuss the book virtually in The Virginia Festival of the Book’s Shelf Life series. Free, noon. Zoom required.

Facebook.com/VaBookFest.

Miley Cyrus, watch out: multidisciplinary Australian artist Tony Albert comes in swinging with his latest work, Like A Wrecking Ball: Using Art and Humor to Confront Racist Statues in Australia and the USA. Scholar-activist Jalane Schmidt will moderate as Albert and Native American artist Nicholas Galanin address problematic colonial legacies. The virtual workshop is presented by the Kluge-Ruhe Aborginal Art Collection of UVA and The Fralin Museum of Art. Free, 7pm. Registration and Zoom required. Kluge-ruhe.org.

Even with COVID-19, the show must go on—online that is. Help Desk: A Stay-AtHome Play is a one-act comedy that magnifies the funny-not-so-funny frustration we’ve all faced while working with a help desk. And it doesn’t take long for the ironic to spiral into the absurd in Don Zolidis’ livestreamed play. Make sure you have the most recent computer updates, but if you have any problems logging in, don’t call customer service—the folks there are busy being hilarious. $20 suggested donation, 8pm.

f you are looking for the perfect beverage to accompany your Thanksgiving meal, area producers have many options, ranging from beer to wine to cider.

Here are some recommendations to help you drink well while also drinking local.

Amber and brown ales are obvious options for pairing with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy. The seasonally offered Apple Crumb Apple Ale from Three Notch’d Brewing adds an extra dimension by incorporating apples and cinnamon into the brew.

These notes combined with malty, bready, and caramel flavors will remind you of freshly baked apple pie.

A sour or funky farmhouse ale, or even a full-on sour beer, can bring a bit of acid to the table. The sourness cuts through the fattiness of roasted meats, while side dishes with fruit flavors or sweetness bring out similar fruit notes in the beer. Starr Hill’s Carole Cran-Raspberry Gose, only available through December, delivers autumn berry flavors and a nice balance of sweet and sour fruit.

The vanilla, caramel, and chocolate notes found in porter are a great match for dessert.

Strange Currencies, from Reason Beer, was originally brewed as a birthday present from the head brewer to his wife. It’s currently available in four-packs of 16-ounce cans direct from the brewery. It’s full and satisfying enough that it could be served on its own instead of dessert, but who is going to pass on that slice of pie?

Two wines deserve a second recommendation in these pages because they are perfect for Thanksgiving: The 2017 petit manseng from Michael Shaps Wineworks and 2017 pinot noir from Ankida Ridge Vineyards.

Shaps’ petit manseng is a dry, For many, cider evokes viwhite wine with weight and sions of dry falling leaves, texture that brings flavors of pumpkin patches, and hayhoney, tropical fruit, and nutrides on the farm.

Fighting hunger

to comfort & convenience

As food insecurity rises, local nonprofits step up their efforts

By Julia Stumbaugh living@c-ville.com

F

ood insecurity in Albemarle County is on the rise. Feeding America, a national hunger relief organization, reports that while 11.8 percent of Charlottesville’s population was food insecure in 2018, that number is expected to rise to 15.1 percent by the end of 2020. In August, the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank told Richmond’s NBC12 that 12 percent of its June customers were new clients needing emergency food assistance for the first time.

A variety of local places are supporting the projected three in 20 Charlottesvillians who are unsure where they’ll find their next meal. The organizations’ donation needs have changed during the pandemic, and the holiday season is always a crucial time, so here’s how you can help.

434-975-2345 // FOSTERFUELS.COM

Blue Ridge Food Bank What it does: Ninety-seven percent of

the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank’s pantries across Virginia have stayed open to provide groceries during the pandemic, thanks to safety restrictions including drive-through food pickups and pre-packaged meal boxes.

THE NEW CULTURE OF BEARDCARE JUST LAUNCHED

How to help: According to the BRAFB web-

site, a one-dollar donation can fund four meals. Volunteer opportunities are also available for low-risk workers. brafb.org

What it does: Loaves & Fishes, the largest

agency of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, supplies groceries twice a month to families who need extra assistance filling their pantry.

It currently operates a drive-through grocery pickup where clients accept bags from masked volunteers without leaving their cars.

How to help: Limited volunteering opportunities are available. Monetary donations can be made on the website.

Thanksgiving staples (anything from canned yams to instant mashed potatoes to frozen turkeys) are in high demand, as are diapers. cvilleloaves.org

Meals on Wheels What it does: Meals on Wheels of Char-

lottesville/Albemarle is a nonprofit that has delivered hot meals five days a week since 1977. The organization connects with the most isolated members of Charlottesville in the most isolating time of their lives, ensuring that secluded seniors are checked on daily.

How to help: Over 90 percent of the meals

provided by Meals on Wheels are directly subsidized by monetary donations, which can be made on the website. Contact MoW if you’re interested in providing physical donations or volunteering to do anything from answering phones to driving delivery vans. For holiday gift baskets, the organization is looking for mugs, tea, cocoa, puzzle books, winter accessories, and toiletries. cvillemeals.org

What it does: When Charlottesville resi-

dents find themselves without a home, The Haven works to make that situation “rare, brief, and nonrecurring.” In addition to providing temporary housing, the shelter helps unhoused families seek new residences to call home.

How to help: The Haven website lists what a

financial donation would fund, from $47 (a day’s worth of showers) to $2,100 (the movein cost for a one-bedroom apartment). Volunteering is limited due to safety restrictions, but low-risk volunteers can apply. In addition to monetary contributions, The Haven is looking for donations of coffee, as well as volunteers to work breakfast shifts over the holidays. thehaven.org

Emergency Food Network What it does: Customers in need can call

the Emergency Food Network once a month to receive kits for three healthy meals. No financial proof of need is required. Meal bags include non-perishables like canned tuna and fresh items like bread and milk.

How to help: All volunteer slots are full,

and due to COVID-19 restrictions, food donations can’t be accepted; financial contributions are preferred. According to the Emergency Food Network, small operating expenses mean that about 91 cents of every dollar is spent on food. emergencyfoodnetwork.org

What it does: Local Food Hub works to

connect local farmers with surplus produce to local consumers who need fresh food. Its Fresh Farmacy program provides those in need with biweekly installments of locally sourced fruits and vegetables.

How to help: Food is already provided by

area farmers, so monetary donations are the way to go. Thirty dollars is enough to send a bag of locally grown produce to someone in need. localfoodhub.org

What it does: Cultivate Charlottesville has

How to help: Volunteers are needed for

everything from planting, harvesting, and weed control to outreach and research.

A

documentary about the life and work of Frank Zappa is so obvious that it seems like there should already have been four or five of them. Watching Alex Winter’s Zappa, it becomes clear why no one attempted it before, and why Winter is the right filmmaker for the job.

How can any one film capture the spirit of a perfectionist who delighted in deconstruction? Zappa was a prolific, genre-hopping creative force with a staggeringly large catalog who was indifferent to recognition.

Where do you begin with a life so varied that even his most conventional output defies categorization?

He sounds like an enigma, but he didn’t live like one. Mining the Zappa family vaults, Winter tells Zappa’s story largely in his own words, using archival footage and interviews, most of which had never been seen or heard since they were recorded. Part of Zappa’s genius was the ability to see the way our society places value on the valueless while rejecting anything of substance, and makes idols of one-trick ponies. He lived and reveled among rock stars but was not one of them, detesting drugs, and involving himself as much in the business side of his enterprise as the creative. Their goal was sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. His was to make music.

Many of the stories in Zappa will be familiar to viewers who have read The Real Frank Zappa Book, his almost-memoir, from his small-town upbringing, finding beauty in things rejected by white suburbia (especially R&B and avant-garde noise music), his arrest for “conspiracy to commit pornography” (yes, really), all the way through his many musical projects and showdown with the Parents Music Resource Center.

Winter’s Zappa could be viewed as a companion piece to that book, telling the rest of his story from after the book was published in 1989 to his death from prostate cancer in 1993. Zappa’s goal in life, as he explains several times in the film, was to make music so that he could take it home and listen to it, and if anyone else wanted to listen too, he would make it available to them. Much of his worldview appears to have been shaped by obstacles put in his way, from censorship to businessmen to hollow rock stardom.

Nobody explains Zappa better than Zappa himself, and while The Real Frank Zappa Book lays out his point of view, Zappa explores his wider impact. Interviews conducted with musicians who worked with him, all the way from the earliest incarnation of the Mothers of Invention to his on-and-off-again collabora-

The long overdue documentary Zappa details the life of musician Frank Zappa, known for his innovation, virtuosity, and political advocacy.

tors throughout the 1980s, reveal a side of the man not often discussed. He was certainly a perfectionist, and the accurate rendering of what he’d written was a high priority for musicians. Though most of his performers were hired hands, the amount of returning collaborators throughout his work speaks to his relationships with creative people. He wasn’t outwardly compassionate during rehearsal, but the ingenuity of his work and the precision it required was magnetic for those who wanted to devote themselves to it. Comments made by percussionist Ruth Underwood are especially moving; his music broke her out of Juilliard, where she was learning what music should be, while joining the Mothers showed her what it could be, freeing her from playing the triangle in huge orchestras. Near the end of the film, she plays one of the most notoriously difficult Zappa pieces, “The Black Page,” revealing the human dimension of one of his most monstrously technical works.

There would be no Frank Zappa as we know him without his wife Gail, who operated the many dimensions of the family business. Some of the most revealing interviews of the film were conducted with Gail prior to her death in 2015, most notably how she categorizes him. “I married a composer,” she says with a half-proud, half-exhausted grin.

“Composer” is telling. Not “musician,” not “perfectionist.” The context in which she used it referred specifically to the less romantic

side of being a creative professional and the distance it created. (Both she and Frank are stunningly blunt about his infidelity, neither laughing it off nor dwelling on it.) A rock star’s life is full of passion, explosions of emotion, good and bad, burning out and leaving a compelling (but false) legacy. A composer’s life, meanwhile, is obsessive and never finished. In popular imagination, composers belong to another era and continent, they don’t grow up in 1950s California. Yet that is Frank Zappa, treating even his most rock-infused work with a composer’s sensibility.

Zappa R, 129 minutes Release date: November 27 Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Streaming (Violet Crown Cinema) The Onion once published a devastating article titled “Frank Zappa Fan Thinks You Just Haven’t Heard The Right Album.” It was painful because it was true. Before this film, there was no entry point. You knew right away whether you were an instant fan, begrudgingly appreciative, or wholly repulsed. Zappa fills an enormous need by effectively condensing the life of a prolific and verbose man without sacrificing an ounce of his complexity.

Where do you begin with a life so varied that even his most conventional output defies categorization?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian statesman Winston Churchill said he was always ready to learn—even though there were times when he didn’t enjoy being taught. That might be a useful motto for you to adopt in the coming months. By my estimates, 2021 could turn out to bring a rather spectacular learning spurt—and a key boost to your life-long education. If you choose to take advantage of the cosmic potentials, you could make dramatic enhancements to your knowledge and skill set. As Churchill’ s message suggests, not all of your new repertoire will come easily and pleasantly. But I bet that at least 80 percent of it will. Start planning!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance with upcoming astrological indicators, I’ve got some good advice for you courtesy of your fellow Capricorn David Bowie. You’ll be well-served to keep it in mind between now and January 1, 2021. “Go a little bit out of your depth,” counseled Bowie. “And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.” For extra inspiration, I’ll add another prompt from the creator of Ziggy Stardust: “Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you’re pretty much on the way out.” In that spirit, my dear Capricorn, please take measures to expand your sense of wonder during the next six weeks. Make sure you’re on your way in.

Aquarius

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1969, humans flew a spaceship to the moon and landed on it for

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22): “To convey the spirit of the coming weeks, I’m offering you wisdom from two women who were wise about the art of slow and steady progress. First, here’s author Iris Murdoch: “One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats, and if some of these can be inexpensive and quickly procured so much the better.” Your second piece of insight about the wonders of prudent, piecemeal triumph comes from activist and author Helen Keller: “I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

the first time. In 1970, the state of Alabama finally made it legal for interracial couples to get married. That’s a dramatic example of how we humans may be mature and strong in some ways even as we remain backward and undeveloped in other ways. According to my astrological analysis, the coming months will be a highly favorable time for the immature and unseasoned parts of you to ripen. I encourage you to get started!

Aries (March 21-April 19): Back in 1974, poet Allen Ginsberg and his “spirit wife,” Aries poet Anne Waldman, were roommates at the newly established Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. The school’s founder asked these two luminaries to create a poetics program, and thus was born the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Waldman described its ruling principle to be the “outrider” tradition, with a mandate to explore all that was iconoclastic, freethinking, and irreverent. The goal of teachers and students alike was to avoid safe and predictable work so as to commune with wild spiritual powers, “keep the energies dancing,” and court eternal surprise. I think that would be a healthy approach for you to flirt with during the next few weeks.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Any legal actions you take are more likely to be successful if you initiate them between now and the solstice than if you’d begin them at other times. The same is true for any contracts you sign or agreements you make: They have a better chance to thrive than they would at other times. Other activities with more kismet than usual during the coming weeks: efforts to cultivate synergy and symbiosis; attempts to turn power struggles into more cooperative ventures; a push to

foster greater equality in hierarchal situations; and ethical moves to get access to and benefit from other people’s resources.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Never follow an expert off a precipice. Nor a teacher. Nor an attractive invitation. Nor a symbol of truth nor a vibrant ideal nor a tempting gift. In fact, never follow anything off a precipice, no matter how authoritative or sexy or appealing it might be. On the other hand, if any of those influences are headed in the direction of a beautiful bridge that can enable you to get to the other side of a precipice, you should definitely consider following them.

Be on the alert for such lucky opportunities in the coming weeks.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Malidoma Patrice Somé was born into the Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso. After being initiated into the Dagara’s spiritual mysteries, he emigrated to America, where he has taught a unique blend of modern and traditional ideas. One of his key themes is the hardship that Westerners’ souls endure because of the destructive impact of the machine world upon the spiritual world.

He says there is “an indigenous person within each of us” that longs to cultivate the awareness and understanding enjoyed by indigenous people: a reverence for nature, a vital relationship with ancestors, and a receptivity to learn from the intelligence of animals. How’s your inner indigenous person doing? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to enhance your ability to commune with and nurture that vital source.

Those who possess it may be inclined to seek or even instigate turmoil out of a quest for excitement. After all, bringing a dose of chaos into one’s life can cure feelings of boredom or powerlessness. “I’m important enough to rouse a Big Mess!” may be the subconscious battle cry. I’ll urge you Leos to studiously and diligently avoid fostering NFD in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, you will have a blessed series of interesting experiences if and only if you shed any attraction you might have to histrionic craziness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing,” wrote philosopher Baruch Spinoza. “Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure.” Spinoza’s thoughts will be a great meditation for you in the coming weeks. If you go chasing phantom hopes, longing for absolute certainty and iron confidence, you’ll waste your energy. But if you identify what is most genuine and true and essential about you, and you rely on it to guide you, you can’t possibly fail.

Libra

Leo

(Sept. 23-Oct.22): “A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika,” said Libran fashion writer Diana Vreeland. “We all need a splash of bad taste,” she continued. “It’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. Having no taste is what I’m against.” I understand that her perspective might be hard to sell to you refined Librans. But I think it’s good advice right now. Whatever’s lacking in your world, whatever might be off-kilter, can be cured by a dash of good, funky earthiness.

Dare to be a bit messy and unruly.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Psychologists have identified a quality they call NFD: need for drama.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Most of us aren’t brilliant virtuosos like, say, Leonardo da Vinci or Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie. On the other hand, every one of us has a singular amalgam of potentials that is unique in the history of the world—an exceptional flair or an idiosyncratic mastery or a distinctive blend of talents. In my astrological opinion, you Aquarians will have unprecedented opportunities to develop and ripen this golden and glorious aspect of yourself in 2021. And now is a good time to begin making plans. I encourage you to launch your year-long Festival of Becoming by writing down a description of your special genius.

Spring Creek

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

H

AT

ave you ever thought of your home as an oasis? A calm place buffering you and your family from chaos in the surrounding world? Where raucous street and city noise fades into the distance, and you are among neighbors you know by name?

What if that oasis extends even beyond your home and reaches to the edges of your neighborhood? Enveloped by beautiful grounds, entertained by countless amenities, a gated community can create a world within a world, where you don’t have to be on vacation to live a resort lifestyle.

And if you are imagining your ideal home, the location might end up playing an outsized role, particularly if you’re still commuting to work and participating in the urban economy outside your oasis.

Fortunately, for folks in Central Virginia or those looking to relocate here, the formula for that lifestyle is tried and true and boasts a nearly 20-year success story. It’s called Spring Creek and is located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Interstate-64 and U.S. Route 15, just 17 miles from Charlottesville.

Living Large When buying at Spring Creek, you don’t just buy a home, you buy a lifestyle. One that appeals to golfers and

non-golfers alike. Dan Girouard, Broker with Spring Creek Realty, reports, “Only about 25 percent of the buyers at Spring Creek play golf. The other 75 percent love everything else about living here.”

REALTOR® Pam Dent, with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., says the topnotch tennis courts, swimming facilities, and fitness centers provide fun and value for everyone in the household. “Spring Creek’s 25-meter saltwater pool and the walking trails have almost universal appeal. The court sports (tennis, pickleball, basketball, etc.) attract athletes and funseekers of all ages and abilities.”

Even during a pandemic, there is no shortage of things to do at Spring Creek.

While some activities have been curtailed to adhere to safe physical distance recommendations, others are designed for this environment. The golf course has stayed open and remains a popular recreational outlet during the pandemic because

players can maintain social distancing.

Other activities at Spring Creek are just as appealing. The miles of walking trails through preserved land keep people at a distance but bring residents up close and personal with nature.

About that golf course…former collegiate player Ross Shipe from Charlottesville says it’s a must play. “At one point or another I have been a member at most of the area courses over the years.

We were all excited about the opening of Spring Creek. It is one of the best layouts, if not the best, in the area and the course is always in great shape. The staff are top notch, which can really make or break a membership experience.”

It’s not only the locals that think it’s great. In 2019, Spring Creek was ranked the 2nd Best Virginia Golf Course by Golf Advisor. It has been ranked 66th by Golf Digest’s “America’s Top 100 Public Courses,” 4th Best in State by Virginia

Golf Ratings, and 5th by Golf Advisor’s “Top 100 Best Courses from 2012-2017.”

Of course, the 75 percent of residents that don’t play golf can enjoy a full service, high quality, on-site restaurant and bar seven days a week. Tavern on the Green appeals to players coming off the golf course or from anywhere else. The available indoor and outdoor dining has served them well during the pandemic restrictions and offers Spring Creek residents a highly valued social outlet for family and friends—even if from a distance.

From recreational and fitness facilities, leagues, and classes, to social and cultural programming, Spring Creek offers one of the broadest spectrums of lifestyle amenities in the area. Tom Ridley, VP of Sales for Evergreen Home Builders, one of the two on-site home builders, says “Spring Creek is unique in Central Virginia. There aren’t that many fully amenitized, gated golf communities in the area, and even fewer at this price point.”

Super Convenient Location Once all the infrastructure was in place with U.S. Routes 250 and 15 and the Interstate-64 connection, it didn’t take long for the Zion Crossroads area to wake up to its full potential. In 2001, when Louisa County allowed the requisite zoning for 1,200 residential units, Spring Creek was up and running.

Stanley Martin has two attached villa models and several other one- and twostory options available.

Evergreen Home Builders began offering semi-custom homes to Spring Creek buyers this summer. Ridley wasn’t quite sure what to expect coming into this market because it had been a while since a semi-custom builder had been on-site.

“We were hoping to sell five to seven homes per year and we are already on pace to exceed that, even though we just got started a couple of months ago. We have six models to choose from, to start your semi-custom design package.

“We are working feverishly to get our model home completed, but that’s not slowing down any of our customers.

They like what they see in the Spring Creek community and they know we can deliver on the home they want.”

Buyers wanting to move to Spring Creek also have the option of bringing their own builder. And when it comes to choosing a lot, pick your favorite view.

There are three choices available: golf course, neighborhood, and conservation. On a golf course lot, you’ll have spectacular views of the award-winning golf course and the players who frequent it. A neighborhood lot will give you easy access to amenities and neighbors—of the human variety.

On a conservation lot, some of those neighbors may be non-human. Abutting preserved land, these lots offer increased privacy and the opportunity for close-up views of local wildlife.

High Demand from All Sectors Almost twenty years after the original zoning was established for Spring Creek, the gated community is closing in on 700

homes out of the original 1,200 allotment. But you can bet that the remaining 500 units will sell much quicker than the first 700 did.

Girouard says “This has been a crazy year, insanely crazy!” And he’s not just talking about the presidential election.

“COVID-19 has really put getting out of THE city—whatever city that might be—and building your ‘forever home’ at the top of people’s list.

“We did shut down for a few months when COVID hit. We’ve made quite a comeback since late spring. That’s when the frenzy began, and we have been in an aggressive building mode since then. We have several years of inventory left, several more phases to get to our maximum of 1,200. Don’t doubt it for a minute; we’ll get there long before the current trajectory predicts.

“There is such an extensive product line available at Spring Creek, and the location and amenities come together in an outstanding package. So, we appeal to all sectors of the population. We have seen a drastic upward spike in interest due to COVID-19 from Northern Virginia and the DC area. Whether they are older retirees, early retirees, or people that can now work from home, it’s like we have a direct pipeline into Spring Creek. We also have buyers joining us from California, Texas, Florida, you name it.

“And with the easy highway access, this location favors people who are still working. We get lots of younger working people with or without kids. Our community really is reflective of the entire population.”

There is no doubt that COVID-19 has had an impact on how some sectors of the market view and define their home and what they expect from it. Some people want to move where there are no neighbors around for miles. Many are looking for a home that delivers on all the demands from working and studying at home and being comfortable and secure at home. Others are looking for that and easy access to unlimited recreational and fitness outlets and limited social interactions they can control.

While the original formula for Spring Creek hadn’t factored in a pandemic 19 years later, the concept has held up well.

Proof is in the demand, not only for new buyers moving into the community but in the existing residents that are buying here again.

According to D’Elia, “Many of the existing houses on the market are available because people are ready to right-size their house but love the community and want to stay here. They are building their new house again in Spring Creek. This is the wave of the future: state of the art homes in a beautiful environment that is exquisitely maintained, resort style amenities and a welcoming community.

All in an affordable package.”

If that fits your definition of a dream life in your dream home, look no further than a little corner near I-64 and U.S. Route 15. Spring Creek is waiting for you, at least for now.
