Where is Sage? Sage Smith was remembered during a 12-hour vigil in downtown Charlottesville on April 13, Maundy Thursday, three days before Easter and a Christian day of remembrance and reflection. Vigil attendees, who held signs and candles and sang songs, gathered in front of the Charlottesville Police Department to demand answers and show their support for Smith, who was last seen November 20, 2012, near the Amtrak Train Station on West Main Street. In March, police told Smith’s mother that the case is now a homicide investigation, instead of a missing person case. Anyone with information about Smith should call Crime Stoppers at 977-4000.

I don’t know anything about him except he is a crybaby. —Commonwealth’s attorney candidate Jeff Fogel to WINA April 17 about Lee statue supporter Jason Kessler’s latest filing of charges
Grim anniversary It’s been 10 years since a deranged gunman killed 32 people April 16, 2007, at Virginia Tech, the nation’s worst mass murder until that record was broken last June at an Orlando nightclub.
Back to the merch Music and real estate mogul Coran Capshaw reacquired Musictoday, the Crozet e-commerce company he founded in 2000 and sold to Live Nation in 2006, Billboard reports.
Despite a looming lawsuit, City Council charged ahead and voted 3-2 to sell the statue of General Robert E. Lee and rename the park that bears his name. Councilor Kathy Galvin, one of the two votes against the removal, reminded the public that a move is not imminent until the litigation is resolved.

In 2007, the burst housing bubble wasn’t as bad as it would get over the next few years, but local residential sales were starting to slide from the peak prices of 2005. Ten years later, some homeowners are still underwater, but others are seeing housing prices increase again. Back in ’07, it was a buyer’s market with a huge inventory of houses, and that’s the biggest difference now: “Lack of inventory,” says Anthony McGhee, president of Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors. “Price increases are based on low supply and high demand.” Now, once again, realtors are advising people not to wait to buy because prices—and mortgage rates—are only going up. Here’s what the first quarter of 2017 looks like compared to 2007.

After earlier assault charges were dismissed, Jason Kessler filed again, this time against Sara Tansey for allegedly snatching his phone at a February Lee Park demonstration, and he asked for a special prosecutor for the destruction of property charge. Tansey filed assault charges against Joe Draego, the man who grabbed the phone back and who sued City Council over public comment procedures. Draego’s attorney in the civil suit, Jeff Fogel, now represents Tansey.

city knew about the county’s ordinance that disallows biking. “They certainly did not know about the history of the reservoir as the only clean raw water we have in the community,” Smith says. “I very much regret that the Ivy Creek Foundation gave up management, but I wasn’t there anymore at that point, so I am not privy to the decision. ICF protected the land back in the 1990s for a reason, but that was lost in the transfer.” Adds Smith, “An important point to make in the disagreement about governmental rights of the use of the land is that the Ivy Creek Foundation had to get the approval of the county to establish the natural area. For the city to say [the county has] no rights now is simply wrong.”

The Progress, like many other former Media General-owned newspapers, thought it had been thrown a life raft when Buffett bought Media General’s print operations in 2012. The paper then had a circulation of 21,274, but by 2016 it was down to 14,693, the Columbia Journalism Review reports, a nearly 31 percent drop.

lbemarle Board of Supervisors Chair Diantha McKeel said in February that an accelerated opening of Hedgerow Park could be an alternative to allowing biking at Ragged Mountain Natural Area, a controversial city-owned and county-located property on which both governing bodies are at odds about whether cycling should be permitted. In an April 12 work session, the supervisors discussed the feasibility of opening the new park and all agreed to authorize an immediate conceptual engineering study for the space, which consists of 340 acres just south and west of the Interstate 64 and Route 29 interchange. It abuts Ragged Mountain Natural Area. If all goes well, the park’s construction would take place next year between May and November. “To get to this park, you’re going to have to drive,” said Trevor Henry, the county director of facilities and environmental services. This has been a negative for cyclists looking for a location they can bike to. Gauging the use at Preddy Creek Trail Park, which is the most similar county space to the proposed park, Henry estimates that 40 parking spaces will be necessary at Hedgerow. He also wants to allow space for about six horse trailers. “The terrain here is incredibly steep in many places,” said Supervisor Ann Mallek, and it’s not ideal for horseback riding. “Not everything has to be available at every place.” Each county park allows its own recreational activities, granting the estimated 800,000 people who visited them last year the opportunity to choose their destinations based on
the activities they plan to do, Mallek said. And prohibiting horseback riding at Hedgerow would allow for a smaller parking lot. But Supervisor Liz Palmer noted that when the late Jane Heyward gave the land to the county, she was adamant it be used for different kinds of recreation, including horseback riding. As for parking, on a recent Sunday afternoon at Crozet’s Sugar Hollow and Mint Springs Valley Park, she said she counted more than 50 cars in each lot. “It’s interesting to me that it seemed a lot safer with people getting out [of their cars] with picnic bags and dogs and kids and everything to have a little bit bigger parking lot,” Palmer said. Henry told supervisors the existing entrance into Hedgerow would first need widening, and potentially paving. He listed a number of possible issues that have design and cost implications, including the current parking lot’s location in a 100-year floodplain and proximity to a stream buffer, which could result in stream mitigation work. The price? Henry estimates it at an initial $1.5 million; adding a pavilion and running electricity to it would cost an extra $450,000. “I see lots of Eagle Scout projects,” said Mallek. Supervisor Rick Randolph said they’d be happy to accept any donations. At Ragged Mountain, Charlottesville and Albemarle County officials are still at odds over who should have ultimate authority over the property. Virginia code says localities may make rules for parks they operate in other jurisdictions, but “no ordinances in conflict with an ordinance of the jurisdiction wherein the property is located shall be enacted.” When the Ivy Creek Foundation handed Ragged Mountain Natural Area over to the

Charges certified Victim testifies in forcible sodomy case against ex-officer By Samantha Baars
A
Christopher Seymore
facebook.com/cville.weekly
“I was just in shock,” the victim said. “I wanted to feel safe. I would’ve said anything to get him out of there.”
@cvillenews_desk
“I was just in shock,” she said. “I wanted to feel safe. I would’ve said anything to get him out of there.” At around 7am, she heard knocking on her bedroom window. Then the kitchen door. It was him. “I should have never opened the door,” she said. Seymore entered her house in plain clothes, again began to apologize about what had happened, started kissing her and led her to her bedroom where he pulled down his pants and “sprawled himself on my bed as if he owned my house.” Testified the victim, “He kept saying, ‘Do you like what you see?’ and motioned for her to perform oral sex on him again. After ejaculating “in 2.5 seconds,” he got up to leave and said, “Next time I would like to fuck,” she told the judge. She said she agreed not to tell anyone what happened. “I was embarrassed. I was ashamed. I didn’t think anybody would believe me over a cop.” But after two weeks of no sleep, she called another CPD officer she trusted, who convinced her to tell him what happened. Once she did, he said he had no choice but to report it. A lieutenant with the CPD testified that Seymore, who lives in Goochland, admitted on December 1 to receiving oral sex from the victim on two occasions, but said it was consensual. In Charlottesville General District Court, Judge Robert Downer certified Seymore’s charges to the grand jury, which will hear his case in June.
April 19 – 25, 2017 c-ville.com
35-year-old former cop made an April 13 appearance in the courthouse attached to the Charlottesville Police Department, where he was employed as a patrol officer when he allegedly pressured a woman to perform oral sex while he was on the job. In a lengthy testimony, the victim described the events that took place in the early morning hours of November 18, when Christopher Seymore responded to a drunk driving incident on her street and entered her Shamrock Road apartment to ask about what she saw. (C-VILLE does not release the names of sexual assault victims.) The victim testified that she sat on her couch with the officer while he waited for a truck to tow the damaged vehicle from the scene. He said she was beautiful and that he recognized her from a bar on the Corner that she used to manage. When the tow truck arrived, he left some of his equipment in her living room and said he’d be back to get it, she said. He then left the apartment. Exhausted, she said she approached him near the tow truck and asked if he could come get the equipment because she wanted to go to bed. About five minutes later, she said Seymore returned with his badge covered and his body camera removed from his vest. “He was just very different this time,” she said, adding that he was looking around her apartment in a “weird fashion” and told her he suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder. He shut the door and started kissing her. “I guess I didn’t push him away,” she said. “It was very clear to me that I had no choice.” She said he lifted her shirt, fondled her breasts and with his hand on her shoulder, pushed her down to her knees. “His penis was in my face and that gun [on his hip] was staring at me,” she said. Becoming emotional in the courtroom, the victim said Seymore apologized over and over and asked her not to tell anyone. After stepping out of the house, he came back to the door several times before he finally left.

he University of Virginia received $143 million in biomedical research funding from the National Institutes of Health in 2016. With President Donald Trump’s recent announcement that he plans to cut $5.8 billion from the NIH’s budget, local neuroscientist Kelly Barford says it’s time to march. As a member of Cville Comm-UNI-ty, a group of UVA professors, employees, students and friends not officially affiliated with the university, Barford has helped organize a mini March For Science in Charlottesville on April 22. The official March for Science takes place the same day in Washington, D.C., and the global movement hopes to champion the vital role science plays in the economy, government and elsewhere. “Charlottesville is an incredible area for scientists,” she says, alluding to the city’s emergence as a hub for the biotech industry, and the many opportunities presented by the university. But a cut in the NIH budget is a major threat to local scientific advancement, she says. “The second [threat] is, more generally, on the scientists,” Barford continues. “We tend to not communicate with the community on what we’re doing and what kind of impact that might have.” So from 1:30-3pm on Earth Day at IX Art Park, local scientists will wear name tags that say “ask me about [insert field of study].” They, along with other science enthusiasts, will give a series of five-minute talks. And rows of booths will offer interactive activities and other information for adults and children. At 3pm, eventgoers will march, signs in hand, from the art park to the Sprint Pavilion.
Barford brainstormed some of her sign ideas before an April 12 march fundraiser at Three Notch’d Brewing Company. “Facts not quacks,” “Don’t hate, educate,” “Protect our planet” and “Research saves lives if funding survives” made the list. Also in attendance was Cville CommUNI-ty member Judy White, a molecular virologist, who will take her support for science to the nation’s capital this weekend. “I’m probably a typical scientist who’s a little more introverted by nature,” she says. “It takes an impetus to get us out to do something like this and I think there are two things going on with the march that we support—one is that it’s a celebration of science and all it does for us every minute of the day. But also, there’s this underlying fear that science is being a bit dismissed in society—belittled a little bit—and we worry that the current administration is more on the anti-science side of the spectrum.” She will march alongside Dan Engel, another Cville Comm-UNI-ty member who studies in the same field, and has coordinated three buses of scientists and nonscientists that will pick up marchers for the Washington, D.C., rally at Scott Stadium at 6am April 22. Each bus holds 55 people and two are already full, he says. Tickets are $50 for the general public and $20 for students (there are 17 spots left). “People used to debate about whether the world was flat or round, and then it was established that the world is round,” says Engel. “Climate change is in that category now. “Scientists have reached the point where we think it’s time to stand up and show our politicians on both sides of the aisle that science is really important. We are professional fact finders.”

there’s the “personal wear and tear that really is part of the costs,” she says. In a statement, the magazine says, “Rolling Stone, Sabrina Rubin Erdely and Nicole Eramo have come to an amicable resolution. The terms are confidential.” And Eramo’s attorney, Libby Locke, says, “We are delighted that this dispute is now behind us, as it allows Nicole to move on and

An ‘insidious’ and ‘invasive’ threat to democracy It’s the issue former President Barack Obama will focus on, joining people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and HBO’s John Oliver, who consider it the biggest threat to the United States’ representative government. The menace is not one that comes from outside the country, but a homegrown tradition dating back to the earliest days of the republic: gerrymandering. That’s the process in which district lines are drawn to favor the party in power, and both Democrats and Republicans are guilty. Ever wonder why Virginia, a state that has gone blue in the past three presidential elections, has Republican majorities in the House of Representatives and the General Assembly? That would be gerrymandering. Since the last time Virginia’s lines were drawn following the 2010 U.S. census, OneVirginia2021, founded by local mensch Leigh Middleditch, has been working with members of all political persuasions to get compact and contiguous electoral

districts drawn before the next redistricting after the 2020 census through grassroots efforts, education and litigation. One of those efforts is the documentary GerryRIGGED: Turning Democracy On Its Head, which calls gerrymandering both “insidious” and “invasive.” It will screen in Charlottesville April 26. Local photographer Dan Grogan became a believer after attending a workshop “to address this threat to democracy,” and now is on OneVirginia2021’s foundation and education committee. “Our biggest enemy is ignorance and apathy,” says Grogan, who points out that in the past seven election cycles, Virginia incumbents “have won at a 98 percent clip” because they’ve selected their voters, not the other way around.—Lisa Provence
April 19 – 25, 2017 c-ville.com
early two years after filing a more than $7.5 million defamation suit against Rolling Stone, its parent company and “A Rape on Campus” reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely—and five months after a jury awarded her $3 million—former UVA associate dean Nicole Eramo settled her case, likely for much less. The November 19, 2014, Rolling Stone article shook UVA to its core and became a national sensation—until the story told by alleged gang-rape victim Jackie began to unravel. By December 5, 2014, Rolling Stone announced it no longer had faith in Jackie’s tale, and in April 2015, following a lacerating analysis by Columbia Journalism Review, the magazine retracted the story. A month later, Eramo, the university’s go-to sexual assault administrator, filed suit. Among her complaints were that the article made her the “chief villain” in a tale of institutional indifference to rape, damaged her reputation and caused her emotional distress. The jury trial lasted 17 days last fall in the U.S. District courthouse, culminating in the jury’s November 7 $3 million award. Libel attorney Alice Neff Lucan says it’s not that uncommon to settle defamation cases after a jury verdict. “One reason for a plaintiff to settle is to avoid more legal fees,” she says. “Any libel case is ripe for appeal.” And indeed, the same day the jury made its award, Rolling Stone attorney Elizabeth McNamara said the magazine would appeal. In February, Rolling Stone asked a federal judge to set aside the jury’s verdict, arguing that Rolling Stone’s December 2014 publication of the story with an editor’s note expressing lack of confidence in Jackie’s story did not constitute republication with actual malice. Judge Glen Conrad had not ruled on the motion when the case was settled.
Filing such a motion is “standard operating procedure,” says Lucan, who said she hadn’t followed the trial. “I’m assuming without knowing that the settlement is less than the award.” A crowdsourcing website to help pay Eramo’s legal fees raised $31,086 of its $500,000 goal from 178 donors. “Nicole’s lawyers have agreed to discount their legal fees, but lawsuits are expensive and Nicole needs our help to cover the costs of litigation,” says the CrowdRise fundraiser page created by True Hoos. And the cost of a trial that ran more than three weeks? “You could buy a couple of houses with what that cost,” says Lucan. In January, Eramo’s attorneys at Clare Locke filed with the court a bill of costs incurred for the trial for $144,673, including more than $90,000 for transcripts. Besides the expense of fighting an appeal, Lucan says there are other reasons to settle. “Being involved in a lawsuit is so draining,” she says. Emotionally it’s very difficult, and

Testamonial 1: My wife and I have purchased and sold 10 homes over our lifetime so we have dealt with many realtors. Jordan is without a doubt the most effective professional we’ve had the pleasure to do business with. Knowledgeable, Consultative, sensitive and honest! We relied on him to achieve great results in a tricky situation that required finesse, nuance and sophistication. Jordan pulled it off with grace and dignity. And, to think that he did it for a 1% commission saved us more than $10,000.00. Outstanding service and value. —Skip and Charleen Testamonial 2: Jordan is a rock star! We met lots of realtors, but Jordan really stood out to us as being the ideal realtor. This was our fourth experience buying or selling a home and Jordan really made it our best experience yet. He is a savvy negotiator who uses just the right amount of charm, intelligence and persistence to make our deal happen. Because of his low 1% commission, we got our house without paying a cent in closing costs. —Brad and Rebecca Testamonial 3: We’ve been absolutely blown away by the service and value Equity Saver USA delivered. This is simply the best real estate representation we’ve ever had, bar none, after 20+ years and a dozen homes bought and sold. Jordan’s combined a cutting edge business model with best in class service. I challenge any realtor who would adopt this 1% model to outdo Jordan in his execution. Good Luck. —Steve and Peri

Charlottesville brings residents from all over the city together every Wednesday evening, May to September, to harvest and grow organic fruits and vegetables in one of three gardens (Friendship Court, Sixth Street and West Street). The urban farming nonprofit broke ground in May of 2007 with the Friendship Court

garden and the Sixth Street garden that June. Since its inception, the program has grown an average of 10,000 pounds of fresh veggies every year, which are distributed on market days to those with farm tokens, an alternative currency UACC uses to pay volunteers for their time.
Charlottesville’s first church remains rooted in helping people Christ Episcopal Church’s history in the city runs deep: Its founding rector, Frederick Hatch, presided over the burial of Thomas Jefferson, and established the first church in the city. Hatch ministered at services (attended by Presbyterians and Methodists too) held in the county courthouse until the congregation’s first home was built in 1824. That Jeffersonian/Greek structure, located on High Street and facing Jefferson Street, was demolished in 1895, and the current building, whose entrance now faces First Street, was erected in its place. The church, which currently has about 2,000 parishioners, with an average of 500 to 550 at a service, will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2020 with a community event, says Rector Paul Walker. A parishioner who is a historian and a retired doctor is working on a complete history of the church, where giving back to its neighborhood is a priority. Christ Church draws congregants of all ages—the 5pm Sunday service is particularly popular with UVA students.
The new view John Conover and Virginia Daugherty have lived in their house on High Street in the North Downtown neighborhood since 1974. When they first moved to Charlottesville in 1971 (Conover is a UVA grad) they lived in Albemarle County, and although they thought the county was beautiful, they quickly made friends in town and realized they wanted to be at the center of the action. Their 1892 home was being rented as a duplex when they moved in, and they bought the place themselves in 1979. “We always loved this house,” Daugherty says. “It’s kind of remarkable because it’s on this busy street and when you enter it there’s this long hall. ...When you get back here [in the kitchen] you feel totally removed and secluded in this great backyard you don’t find downtown.” The backyard backs up to two churches: Christ Episcopal Church and First United Methodist. The couple loves hearing the clang of the bells at Christ Church on Sundays, and a more recent discovery has been the colored steeple of the Methodist church. Conover and Daugherty watched as the church underwent renovations last year,
It also houses the Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, which hosts a soup kitchen on Tuesday nights. Six years ago, a preschool was established in conjunction with the International Rescue Committee, and the church provides scholarships for refugee families. In addition, there is a fellows program for recent college graduates who are interested in learning more about church life and its role in the community. In 2008, Kate Daughdrill came up with the idea for The Garage, a community arts space located on First Street behind the church’s office. Local musician Sam Bush, who became a fellow at Christ Church after graduating from UVA in 2009 and is now the church’s music minister, has picked up the torch from Daughdrill, and curates all of The Garage’s programming. Its concerts attract passersby who take a seat on the hill at Lee Park to enjoy a show. And then there are those who venture inside to participate in wooden spoon- and hat-making workshops, listen to play readings or take in a First Fridays gallery show. Walker says he wants everyone to feel welcome at Christ Church, and that its message is simple: Love people as they are. “I just love people, and getting to know them on a deeper, personal level,” he says.
and once they were complete, it started lighting its steeple at night–most of the time it’s white, but it’s been red and green for Christmas and purple for Easter. When Conover and Daugherty moved to the neighborhood, it wasn’t as popular to live and work there as it is now. They owned Papercraft Printing Press on the Downtown Mall for 26 years, located in the back half of the Vinegar Hill Theatre building, and watched as the Downtown Mall was bricked. Today, Conover likens the crowded mall to a boardwalk. “When we came it was neither hip nor prestigious, primarily because it was cheap. Now it’s essentially impossible,” Conover says. When they first moved in, the demographics skewed older, but eventually people their age with young children came, too. Today the population is more of a barbell, Conover says: older residents and single young adults. “One of the things that’s attractive about Charlottesville, and especially about downtown and the university,” Daugherty says, “is it’s charming, it’s interesting. There’s a lot of stuff going on.”

At the center of this neighborhood, which is bound by the CSX railroad and 250 Bypass and includes the Downtown Mall and areas north of the mall, is the oldest portion of the city. Court Square surrounds the Albemarle County Courthouse, and includes buildings that date back to the 1800s. The building that has been used as a courthouse for more than 200 years is one of America’s most historic—no other courthouse has served three early U.S. presidents at the same time. The original wood-frame courthouse was erected on a two-acre lot in 1762, when the city was founded by Dr. Thomas Walker. The current heartbeat of the neighborhood is the pedestrian Downtown Mall, which was designed by Lawrence Halprin and constructed in the early 1970s. Today the mall is a mix of office space, restaurants and retail, with a focus on specialty shops and entertainment venues. The Sprint Pavilion anchors one end of the mall and hosts community festivals and concerts, including the popular summertime music series Fridays After Five. Neighbors live in a mix of historic singlefamily homes, apartments and condominiums (two new projects are slated for Water Street). And although there are several parks in the area for residents to enjoy, the Confederate-era statues at Lee and Jackson parks have come under Dow fire for being culturally offensive, and the Charnto wn Ma ll lottesville City Council voted in February to W ater relocate the Robert E. Lee statue and rename Stree t the park. A citizens-led lawsuit to halt tampering with the parks, donated by Paul Goodloe McIntire, was filed in March.

In the city’s early history, the Belmont/Carlton neighborhood was popular for its location at the intersection of two major routes—Three Notch’d and Old Scottsville roads. It began to grow in the late 1800s when the Belmont Land Company purchased a 500-acre estate called the Bellemont and subdivided it into lots for construction. Its closeness to the C&O railroad and a demand for employee housing contributed to the neighborhood’s prominence in the early 1900s, historians have said. Around 1960, some Belmont residents began to feel that their neck of the woods was changing for the worse. Older homeowners died and commercial landlords bought their houses to convert them into cheap rental units. By the ’80s, rentals outnumbered owner-occupied homes, and the area’s reputation had become one of crime and neglect, according to a 2012 C-VILLE report. But a lot has changed since then. Today, Belmont is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in town, thanks in part to a revitalization of its “downtown” area, now a notable destination for Italian, Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine, among others. The area attracts a wide range of inhabitants, including longtime residents, couples downsizing to smaller homes and young professionals who yearn to walk to and from their downtown jobs.
Blackberries to bus routes Born in 1937, Norma Dennison was raised in her grandmother’s historic home on Stonehenge Avenue near Belmont Park. Though her family left the area after World War II to find work, she returned several years later and lives in the same house today. The biggest differences she’s noticed in her neighborhood? “When I was a young girl, we never saw any cars at all,” she says. “We could sleigh ride down these hills, but now you can’t because of the cars.” Speaking of transportation, these days there are more options than the single bus line that once connected Belmont with the rest of Charlottesville. “Now we’ve got buses running all over the place,” she says. “I really have fun getting out there on them,” though she can no longer take one to the Paramount to catch a 10-cent movie, she adds. Those prices have gone up a bit. The face of her neighborhood continues to change as well. For better or worse. “They’re building, building, building,” she says, remembering when her neighborhood was mostly agricultural land and she could pick from a grove of blackberries in a hollow near Moore’s Creek. “We haven’t really changed that much, except for housing going up everywhere.” And the prices of homes have skyrocketed. “This is not the rich side of the city,” Dennison says. “But now? I would say [Belmont residents] have plenty of money. People are buying these expensive homes that they’re building clear down to Moore’s Creek.” But she says the changes haven’t altered her perspective on the neighborhood. “It still feels like home.”

The Belmont mansion, once called the John Winn House, was built for its namesake in 1820 by a brick mason for Thomas Jefferson. In 1847, Slaughter Ficklin purchased the 551-acre estate, which blends Greek Revival and Federal styles, and renamed it Belmont after the original Belle-mont, a historic Jeffersonian-style home in Alabama. Ficklin later turned his property into a prominent horse farm. The estate was subdivided in 1890 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. And though the mansion may still appear to house Charlottesville royalty, today it comprises a handful of apartments.

Thomas recreates all manner of Charlottesville scenes, from the mundane (see his recent Instagram post, which shows a painting of a CenturyLink van on West Main), to the profound, seen in a bucolic local landscape or a glistening depiction of the Rotunda and UVA Lawn on a snowy night. “I think everything has a soul if you study it hard enough and you try to replicate it,” Thomas told C-VILLE in a 2008 cover story on the artist. Also serving as an architect and historian, he built his current home in Fifeville, described in the article as “a kind of hipster Monticello.” To purchase his work, drop by the Downtown Mall’s Consignment House, where it has been said that Dave Matthews Band violinist Boyd Tinsley once bought every large painting of Thomas’ hanging in the front window.

Longtime Fifeville resident and artist Edward Thomas is known for painting local. Described by a colleague and former teacher as a proponent of marrying American plein air painting with a progressive political sensibility, Thomas is famous for “document[ing] something very specific about a time of transition in this city,” says Dick Crozier. But putting it simply, the artist says his mission is often “to paint anything that’s about to be bulldozed, to shame the developers in the future.” We’ve seen it in a number of his pieces, whether that’s a series of four paintings of Trax nightclub being torn down in 2002, or a single sign in an empty meadow with only the letter “H,” for hospital, before Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital was born there.

Roger Voisinet’s annual shindig is a Woolen Mills institution. When he bought his historic house—which once belonged to the mill manager—on the then-dammed Rivanna River, “everyone concluded it was a great party backyard,” he says. And swimming was definitely on the agenda, thanks to a backyard swimming hole. That was 35 years ago. The dam is gone and the party has become more sophisticated, says Voisinet, with bands and tents. “As my friends grew older, they had to be enticed,” he says. Usually the party is the second Saturday in September, when the weather is still warm and people are back from summer vacations. Voisinet counts 29 parties in more than three decades, with around 400 people showing up to eat, drink and dance. Last year he got married, and the 2016 party was, fittingly, called the Honeymoon River party.

Standing in Louis Schultz and Laura Covert’s yard feels like the country, and not just because of the goats and ducks. When they bought the historic house on 1.5 acres in 1999, there was a plan for the garden, both formal and informal. The original two 5' by 10' raised beds have grown to six, producing much of what they eat. “That was the vision,” says Schultz. Covert grows the three sisters of squash, beans and corn favored by Native Americans, as well as pumpkins, tomatoes, greens and more. And the goats and ducks provide milk and eggs. Schultz has had numerous battles with the city, but he was vindicated in at least one after being cited under the city’s weed ordinance in 2001 for not mowing. Charlottesville finally conceded that the native flora Schultz used for erosion control and to reduce mowing was actually kind of green and met the city’s vision statement of environmental sustainability.
One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods is called Woolen Mills because, well, a mill there used to manufacture woolens. And cottons, as well as uniforms for the Confederate Army. Many of the older, historic houses in the neighborhood were built to house mill workers and management, and about half were built after World War II. With its larger lots and country feel, Woolen Mills straddles a lot of lines—between city and country, water and land, rural and urban, poor and prosperous, with historic and contemporary architecture. A longstanding issue for many residents is the Moores Creek Waste Treatment plant, the source of a longstanding stench that the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is sinking over $9 million into remedying. Today, the neighborhood faces a proposed conservation overlay district that would require BAR approval for additions and new structures, and the mixed-use redevelopment of the still-standing mill complex across the Albemarle line.

Just south of West Main Street, Fifeville has some of the area’s least expensive housing in one of its most desirable locations. Its history details the city’s complicated story of revitalization and gentrification. Fifeville formed in the 1880s from the subdivision of a chunk of farmland, most of which was owned by the Fife family. The area, originally a mixed-race neighborhood on the western side and a working class, predominately black neighborhood on the eastern side, was heavily developed until the 1920s with very little construction afterward. Though, architecturally, the development still reflects that of the Reconstruction era, the gentrification that came along with the 20th century altered the neighborhood demographically. While some of the original population remains, the neighborhood is now replete with UVA professors and young, white-collar families. 31

Though Locust Grove began in the late 19th century as the Locust Grove subdivision, the neighborhood really came into its own between the 1940s and the ’70s, with the bulk of its build-out and the addition of the 250 Bypass. This new road shifted the area from rural to suburban. Prior to that, Watson Avenue acted as the area’s main route for those traveling from Charlottesville to Richmond. The completion of St. Charles Place, in 2008, marks the newest residential section.

When Downing L. Smith III was a child in the 1950s, he would sneak out of his bedroom window in his parents’ house and run across the yard into “the big house,” where his great-aunt Mamie would make him buckwheat pancakes. “The big house,” as Smith knew it then, is the Locust Grove mansion, a Greek revival plantation house that was built in 1844 as part of “The Farm.” The property is not as big as it once was (parcels of its land have been sold off over time), but it looms pretty large in Charlottesville history—an entire neighborhood is named for it, after all. But for Smith, who is retired from UVA’s McIntire School of Commerce, it’s just home—he’s lived all but nine of his 67 years on the property. It’s where he helped with house upkeep for allowance money and heard ghost stories of wounded Confederate soldiers. It’s where he threw parties in the basement— foot-thick solid brick walls are excellent sound barriers, he says—and where he

In the Martha Jefferson neighborhood, there’s a little red table that contains random, rotating items—clothes, books, toys, canned goods, even a crib showed up once (though it was broken, and decidedly not awesome). This is known to residents as the Awesome Table. There’s only one rule: Everything on the Awesome Table is free, but, as the sign says, if you take something, try to help someone else have an awesome day. That was the rule at the original Awesome Table, too, in Athens, Georgia, where homeowners Jen Lucas and Christopher Purcell found inspiration. “Christopher used to live in Athens and there was an Awesome Table at a nearby home,” says Lucas. “He was a regular visitor to the table, leaving things and taking things and he just loved the idea of having one.” The Charlottesville table made its debut on January 9, 2013, and has become a fixture in the area. In fact, a few other Awesome Tables have popped up in more neighborhoods since: “Hello, Awesome Table,” reads a post on the Awesome Table’s Facebook page. “Thank you for the inspiration. We’re hoping to live up to your Awe-
someness over here on 8th Street NW. Awesome Lovers, come and check us out when you’re on this side of town.” Currently located on Jefferson, the Awesome Table’s original location was up the street on the corner. But when Lucas and Purcell decided to move, they posted online that the Awesome Table would need a new home, hoping a resident would step up. “In the end, three of them got together and decided among themselves which house would make the best spot for it,” Lucas says. “So it’s now right down the hill from our former house.” Pretty awesome, indeed.
Borne from a large farm at 810 Locust Ave. known as Locust Grove (from which nearby neighborhood Locust Grove borrows its name), the Martha Jefferson area really flourished after the completion of Martha Jefferson Hospital in 1903. Its rapid expansion spilled into nearby Jackson and Taylor streets and was, for a time, a source of unrest with area residents. Many of the homes were built for upper- and middle-class residents, providing a suburban feel while being close to downtown. MJH’s relocation to Pantops in 2011 brought the CFA Institute to the empty location, which continues to provide an anchor for the neighborhood.

STARR HILL
Patricia Edwards, 68, has called the Starr Hill neighborhood home for most of her life. “I moved to the area for the first time with my mom and dad and older sister when I was 5 years old,” she says. “We stayed there for a while then moved a few blocks away into the Eighth and Page Street area, but we went to school and to church there, so we were always a part of that community, which I’d describe as sort of the place to be for prominent African-Americans in Charlottesville.” After studying education at UVA, Edwards took a job teaching at Charlottesville High School for three years, then moved with her husband to St. Petersburg, Florida, where the two taught in public schools until 1986 when, wanting to raise their children closer to Edwards’ family, the couple returned to Starr Hill with their 4-year-old. “We rented for a while then bought a house in the late-’80s and built one when the Piedmont Housing Alliance came through [in the early 2000s] and was trying to spark up the neighborhood,” says Edwards. “They worked with area teachers by helping us level the playing field and enable us to build. And that led to several of the homes being renovated, which transformed the area from predominantly renters to homeowners.” According to Edwards, the change was a good one and led to a rekindled sense of investiture—as well as increased diversity —in the neighborhood. “I hate the use of the term gentrification, because it implies the people who were here before weren’t gentry,”

The history of the Starr Hill neighborhood can’t be told without the Jefferson School, a recognizable landmark that originally served as a school for freed slaves following the Civil War and eventually became the city’s first African-American high school (and one of only 10 in Virginia at that time). But Starr Hill, which gets its name from the wealthy and educated black families (or “stars”) who lived in the neighborhood, is also closely linked to Vinegar Hill, another predominately black neighborhood nearby. Loosely bordered by Preston Avenue, West Main and Fourth streets, what was once the Vinegar Hill neighborhood is now nonexistent, thanks to a city vote to raze the area in the 1960s, relocating a church, 30 businesses and 158 families, 140 of whom were black. In late 2016, City Council approved a $15,000 funding request from the Historic Resources Committee to add signage to Vinegar Hill Park —located at the western end of the Downtown Mall—explaining its history.

Patricia Edwards moved to the Starr Hill neighborhood with her family when she was 5 years old. After living briefly in Florida, she and her husband returned with their 4-year-old to raise their family in the place where Edwards grew up.
she says. “Starr Hill always had a mix of educational and socioeconomic backgrounds. There were students, ministers, teachers, businessmen and others that lived here alongside one another. Back then we had a greater concentration of more educated African-Americans, but now we have a broad mix of people, and I think that’s great.” After returning to Starr Hill, Edwards taught special education at Charlottesville
High School for nearly 25 years before retiring in 2011. “My mother, father, sister and husband were all teachers in the area, so education was a huge part of my life,” she says. “Because I’d put in those three years before moving, I actually taught the children of some of my first students, which was pretty amazing to see and recognize those faces, and know you’ve had an impact on the place where you live.”

lthough Amy Mikeska is the daughter of a quilter, she didn’t try her hand at the craft until her late 20s. “It was like a gene activated and I had to start sewing,” she says. “My mom surprised me by signing me up for a quilt-making class at our local quilt shop, Cottonwood, in Meadowbrook Shopping Center. And I was hooked.”
Originally a parcel of land belonging to Alexander Garrett, one of Thomas Jefferson’s associates, the Ridge Street neighborhood was subdivided into lots and sold to families—both black and white—beginning in the 1830s. White families resided on the street’s northern end and African-American families owned homes at the southern end. With the increased prevalence of automobile travel in the 1930s and ’40s, however, many of the white homeowners moved to the suburbs, selling their Ridge Street houses and affording their black neighbors the opportunity to purchase the street’s more significant structures.

Fast forward six years and Mikeska is a full-time quilter, running her business out of her home in the Ridge Street neighborhood. A graduate of the Pratt Institute, Mikeska finds that she puts her art degree to use when completing custom work on quilts. “My background was in painting and drawing, so I am drawing all over these quilts,” she explains. “I do sketch-out designs and plan my quilts. I play with unexpected thread colors and bindings…I love piecing quilt tops and designing them and playing with color, but I do truly love the quilting part of a quilt, and many people don’t enjoy that part. So I’m happy to do it for them.” Mikeska says it’s hard to pick her favorite project, but the one that comes to mind was borne out of necessity. “I think my favorite quilt I ever made was actually used to pay a plumbing bill,” she says. “It was a full custom quilt and very colorful. I’m happy to know it’s getting use and love every day. It now lives in California.”

Two natural springs and the prominent owner of a large plot of land in the area, James Francis Fry, lend this neighborhood its name. Fry’s mansion, Azalea Hall, was impressive both architecturally and for its bountiful landscaping, awash with apple orchards, vegetable gardens and tobacco fields in the mid-1800s, but by the early 20th century, much of the estate was subdivided and developed into residential lots. Around that time, Fry’s Spring Beach Club—a now members-only facility that offers swimming and other summer programs—opened its door and to this day remains a focal point of both the Fry’s Spring and Jefferson Park Avenue neighborhoods.

Developed in part by professors due to its close proximity to UVA, the Jefferson Park Avenue neighborhood, these days, comprises mostly students, thanks to a rezoning ordinance in 1976 that allowed R-3 (multi-family). A commercial area at the Maury-FontaineJPA intersection includes the neighborhood’s biggest draws for non-residents and leads traffic to nearby Scott Stadium. At the northern end is the Oakhurst-Gildersleeve pocket, which earned its own spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 and features several homes designed by architect Eugene Bradbury.

Jefferson Park Avenue’s winding street is one of the only crossroads between Charlottesville residents and university students. For the students, it’s a quieter, cheaper, alternative to the corner; for the residents, it’s a vibrant yet homey community. Beverly Amato—who was born and raised in and around the JPA area—says she loves being so close to the student body. As someone who never attended college, Amato enjoys being able to walk to the Lawn and glimpse pieces of UVA life. CONTINUED ON PAGE 39

The Bullards love Fry’s Spring Beach Club so much that in 1995, they moved into a house directly across the street on Jefferson Park Avenue. “The club has an old-school feel, sort of like what neighborhoods used to be, but a lot of people don’t let their kids run around in neighborhoods anymore,” she says. Last year, Bullard organized lessons and meets for more than 300 children, many of whom were able to swim at the club because of her efforts. She applied for and received a grant from the Benjamin Hair Just Swim For Life Foundation, which gave swim lesson scholarships to 192 children in need. With membership rates starting at $407 for individuals and $835 for families, Bullard knows that many people in town can’t afford to join the club and thus miss out on the sense of community it offers, and the scholarships help with that. Things get a little hectic—how could they not, with hundreds of swimmers and their families, plus her own seven kids to think about?—but that’s part of why Bullard is content in her corner of the Fry’s Spring neighborhood. “Life is never dull,” she says with a calm, bright smile.

Shortly after Sara Robinson gave birth to her first daughter in the summer of 2013, she sat on the sofa of her Mulberry Avenue bungalow and gazed out the window onto their cozy little Fry’s Spring street. “The world’s gone on without me,” she remembers thinking once her husband, John, had returned to work. Life “can be very isolating after you have a baby,” she says. You’re stuck to a sleeping, eating and changing schedule that doesn’t allow for much time out of the house, or leisure time at all. During those first few months, she often wished someone “would just knock on the door” to assure her that the world hadn’t left her behind. Three years later, when Robinson had her second daughter in May 2016, she didn’t just have someone knocking at her door—she had two other women to share the experience of early motherhood. Virginia Trower and Keith Miller moved in directly across the street from the Robinsons in August 2013, just weeks after the Robinsons’ first daughter was born; Meagan and Mike Donohoe moved in next door in July 2014. The couples live in nearly identical bungalows, and by fall 2015, all three women were pregnant with daughters. During their pregnancies, the women checked in on each other with text messages, impromptu sidewalk chats and evening conversations that brought together all three couples on the Donohoes’ back deck. (The three supportive dads have grown closer, too, their wives say.) When Robinson was up with her younger daughter for a late-night feeding, she often looked out the window to see Trower’s light on across the street, or Donohoe’s on next door, and it felt like a special kind of solidarity. “Early motherhood can feel so overwhelming,” says Trower. “To have two wonderful women right across the street who both so acutely relate…is enormously reassuring that maybe I’m actually doing okay at being a new mom.” They say it takes a village, but sometimes just a single street will do.

Though some of the homes in the 10th & Page neighborhood were built as early as the 1800s, most of the development in that area of town didn’t come until the 1920s. Back then, 10th & Page (though it wasn’t known by that name at the time) was a desirable neighborhood for railroad employees, due to its close proximity to the C&O. Ditto residents of nearby Starr Hill and Vinegar Hill. The dense neighborhood near the center of town also housed a number of residents notable to Charlottesville and beyond: contractor Benjamin Tonsler (Fifeville’s Tonsler Park is named for him), Roosevelt Brown (the first African-American football player from Charlottesville to be named to the NFL Hall of Fame) and John West (a former slave who accumulated an impressive amount of local real estate). After the razing of Vinegar Hill in the 1960s, the Westhaven public housing complex on Hardy Drive was created for some of the displaced families, foreshadowing an affordable housing issue that still lives on in the neighborhood today.

When Patricia Blair Jones was growing up, her family’s home on 10 1/2 Street was always full of people. The small, two-bedroom house held the Blair family—John Jr. and Mary Payne Blair and their nine biological children—plus Mary’s mother, and anyone from the neighborhood who needed a bite to eat and a bed to sleep in. “We had bunk beds,” recalls Jones, the baby of the family, and the siblings often slept two to a bunk, wearing their coats on cold nights if there weren’t enough blankets to go around. Two foster children slept in cots, one under the stairwell and another in the dining room. “Mama Blair” took in children whose parents were unable to take care of them, and she fed plenty of neighborhood children and adults alike, sending them home to their own families after a meal of fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes or, when times were especially tough, fried bologna and gravy with homemade bread. “She made a lot of soup,” Jones, now 62, says with a laugh. And no matter what her mom cooked, Jones says she always made “enough so that it could stretch for everybody.” “We didn’t have much, but she made it the best she could,” Jones says, pride palpable in her voice. Both John Jr., who died young, and Mama Blair worked—as a nanny, a housekeeper and, famously, baking biscuits at the Venable School—and the kids helped out, too. Jones remembers picking grapes for a neighbor who made her own wine. The woman didn’t let many kids into her yard, but she let the Blair kids in, and always sent them home with grapes for their dinner table. Jones also plucked dandelions off another neighbor’s lawn, and with the pennies she earned picking, she’d buy some sweets— cookies or candy—and give the change to Mama Blair. “We didn’t have much,” Jones repeats as some of her grandchildren pedal bicycles and race scooters out in front of her current home on 10 ½ Street, only a few doors away from the house where she grew up.

“I like to wonder sometimes what they’re thinking,” Amato says. “Are they thinking about their studies or what party they went to last night? I wonder about their student life because I didn’t have a student life. They’re very separate worlds but I think we have a nice appreciation for both.” So separate, in fact, that some students say they are often unaware that their neighbors are Charlottesville residents. Christian Goodwin, a thirdyear human biology major, worries that residents see students as out-oftouch with the working community. “We got a noise complaint and that was the first time that I realized that the people across the street worked at the hospital,” Goodwin says. “If the only interaction you have is calling the police on someone, that’s going to leave a bad taste in your mouth, to say the least.” The relatively low noise level, however, is a draw for many students trying to avoid the frequent parties of Greek life. Hannah Becker, a third-year civil engineering student, has lived at Woodrow Apartments for two years and says noise was a serious consideration for her. “It’s hard to get work done when there’s a fraternity next door having a party,” Becker says, pointing out that parties in the JPA area are much fewer and far between. Indeed, JPA residents say they have had very few problems with students in the area. Karen Myers, owner of Roxie Daisy, moved to the neighborhood five years ago and says students are generally respectful of the residents. “We had an academic fraternity across the street that was making renovations and they got all the residents involved to make sure there weren’t going to be any problems,” Myers says. One of the largest differences between the two populations is the rate of turnover. Students who live on JPA are normally out of the area within a couple years of entering it, but residents are more likely to stay in the neighborhood longer. Amato mentions a family home in the area that has been passed down for two generations and says that this kind of stability creates a real sense of community in the area. “If you’ve lived in the same place for 10 years, you know your neighbors and they know you and you look out for each other. If something’s not quite right, we call and check up on one another,” Amato says. Myers believes that the friendly community in the JPA neighborhood is a draw for students, rather than a deterrent, and that the unique blend of the populations holds benefits for both. “[The students] stop sometimes and pet our dog or come sit on our stone columns to talk and I think sometimes it makes them feel like they’re at home,” Myers says. “I think having people around that aren’t just students helps. And for us too, it keeps us young.”

and wicker furniture, is an inheritance from her husband’s uncle; it’s where Jones and her husband, Randy, raised their three children, rested after working night shifts and really started to “move up,” as she says. Aside from a little bit of time right after she and Randy were married, Jones has lived on 10 1/2 Street her entire life and thus her family, which now includes eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, has lived on the street for more than a century. The family may not have had much, but Jones is chock-full of memories, many of them happy. She remembers calling a Walton-style goodnight to everyone in the house at bedtime. Also, she and her siblings shared two bicycles among them and raced a dune buggy, made from wood and old roller skate wheels, up and down the street. She remembers picking fresh fruit from the peach, plum and cherry trees in the yard. Now, when she sits on her porch on a warm evening, she greets every person who
walks by by name. She knows the current and former residents of every home, and what those homes looked like before recent renovations. Perhaps the biggest change Jones has seen in the neighborhood is its ethnic makeup— a number of white couples have moved onto the street, which was inhabited entirely by black families until recently, she says. But some things haven’t changed at all. “We still have some of the older people, just a few,” Jones says. The established and new neighbors all know each other, and many of them reminisce about Mama Blair, who died in December 2012 and whose kindness knew no bounds. The kids still play outside, but not as much as previous generations did. “It’s really still the same as when I was coming up,” Jones says, glancing at the pastel Easter decorations covering her front yard, a small extravagance that the Blair family might not have afforded years ago. “It’s just a little different.”

Charlottesville’s Ten Miler traverses the town There’s one thing that connects a large swath of city neighborhoods—and it’s not the uphills. The Charlottesville Ten Miler takes off from Alderman Road and winds through the university, passes by Venable, snakes between 10th & Page and Rose Hill, loops around North Downtown and through the mall, then heads back again, continuing down West Main all the way to Lewis Mountain until the finish line. “Running the course, you get a snapshot of the city,” says Nicole Brimer, the race’s current director. “Runners who are newer to town see areas of Charlottesville that are off the beaten path, and long-term locals who train and race the course get an intimate view of the sights of Charlottesville that it are easy to miss in driving around town.” Designed by Ragged Mountain Running Shop co-owner Mark Lorenzoni in 1984, the course meanders through some of the area’s most beautiful places—the dogwood-lined streets of the university, Rugby Road and Lexington Avenue, the brick-paved paths of the Downtown Mall, Court Square and the Corner. And, says Brimer, it showcases a wide variety
of life in Charlottesville, “traveling by student housing, working class neighborhoods, past the historic buildings and homes of the North Downtown neighborhood, to businesses on Main Street and the hospital.” The stretch along Grady and Preston avenues is the one significant reprieve from all those uphills, but it’s not the only thing runners look forward to. On race day, residents of the North Downtown neighborhood host brunch lawn parties and unofficial water stops with donut holes. Students on McCormick Road cheer and offer runners drinks. Businesses downtown and on the Corner celebrate as runners go by. In a few neighborhoods, says Brimer, some residents even put out stereos and play music for the runners. “The Charlottesville Ten Miler is wellsupported by the neighborhoods and businesses in the area,” Brimer says, “and that support is felt throughout the entire course.”
Developed near the end of the 19th century, the historic Venable neighborhood was (and still is) home to many University of Virginia professors and, thanks to an enrollment boom in the 1970s that necessitated the conversion of boarding houses into rentals, many university undergrads and graduate students. The Corner business district, which originated in the mid-1800s, continues to be a draw to the Venable area, too.
You’re going down! While Washington Park, Burley Middle School and The Dell at UVA often take top billing on lists of local sledding spots, it’s Winston Road in the Venable neighborhood that gets the hidden gem prize. One resident calls it “the best and most face-meltingly fast sledding hill.” We’ll take her word for it.

The only entrance to Johnson Village, a turn off Cherry Avenue onto Shamrock Road, is flanked by two white concrete pillars with the words “Johnson Village” etched in kelly green. Single-family ranchstyle homes dominate the neighborhood developed by LeRoy Bruton in 1962 (Bruton himself lived on Trailridge Road), and gaslight lamps dot the sidewalks (residents pay for the gas to light them). Johnson Elementary School serves as the heart of the neighborhood, a place for community events as well as learning. The neighborhood is home to Charlottesville’s first black mayor, Charles Barbour, and has largely been populated by UVA and UVA Medical Center faculty, due to its proximity to both.
Capshaw. There is only one entrance into the neighborhood, onto Shamrock Road off Cherry Avenue, and Bruton’s plans included connecting the east end of Shamrock Road with Fifth Street. At that time, neither Fifth Street nor the land around Johnson Village was as developed as it is now. Even though neighbors knew connecting Shamrock Road had always been the idea, “everyone in the neighborhood recognized that would completely destroy the character of our neighborhood as we knew it,” Richards says. “Turning Shamrock Road into a thoroughfare would have ruined one of the city’s most successful and stable neighborhoods. It wasn’t good for the city and it wasn’t good for this neighborhood.” The entire neighborhood met with Capshaw in the early 2000s in the cafeteria of Johnson Elementary so they could express their concerns and also hear what his terms were. The meeting went well, with both sides making compromises: Although the planned unit developments were a little denser than the neighbors would have liked, Shamrock Road would stay selfcontained in the neighborhood. The neighbors’ galvanized effort worked, and today Johnson Village remains a place where people jog on the wide streets lined with sidewalks, families walk to school (there’s a cut-through path off Trailridge Road that leads to the Johnson Elementary) and where neighbors watch each other’s houses when someone goes on vacation.

When Meredith and Larry Richards first moved to Charlottesville in 1969, they had just finished traveling through Europe in Meredith’s parents’ VW bus. The young couple—Meredith was pregnant with their son, Russell, at the time—had both finished grad school at the University of Illinois and they landed in Charlottesville because of Larry’s teaching position at UVA. The Richardses made lots of friends in Fry’s Spring because many other UVA faculty lived there, and that’s also how they were introduced to Johnson Village on the other side of Cherry Avenue. They moved into their Trailridge Road home in the early 1980s when they found the perfect house with a brick wall behind the fireplace and exposed wooden beams running along the ceiling—it had a few different characteristics than the many other ranch-style single-family homes in the neighborhood. Meredith became involved in the neighborhood association, which at the time organized a Halloween parade, Christmas decorations contest and an annual picnic, to name a few events. Her time with the association led to further civic engagement, and she served on the Charlottesville Planning Commission from 1994-96. After that, Richards ran for a seat on City Council on a platform of “enhancing our neighborhoods, because I felt like they were the building blocks of the city.” She served backto-back terms from ’96 to 2004.

Annexed to the city between 1916 and 1963, this northern area of the city is a combination of the Barracks, Rugby, Greenleaf and Kellytown neighborhoods and is, consequently, a mixed bag, socioeconomically and architecturally speaking. The Barracks portion, located along Barracks Road, boasts larger, upper income homes constructed in the 1930s, whereas the Greenleaf area, constructed after World War II, contains mostly bungalow-style homes on smaller lots. The Rugby Avenue area blends the two, with its medium-sized homes, and serves as a transition from downtown to the university.

Open clan policy On a relatively rare city cul de sac where car traffic is, one resident says, “essentially nonexistent,” one group of neighbors in the Rugby Hills area is keeping things casual. Every day there’s decent weather, everyone gathers outside for some QT. “It’s not very fancy,” says Jerome Venteicher. “We have a few chairs and a little table set out in the grass, but we all usually sit on the curb.” He says the combination of a freshly paved street, an old basketball hoop and a string of generous and welcoming neighbors’ yards provides more than enough space, nooks and crannies to play whatever game pops up that day. And it’s not just for warm-weather days, either. “Winter brings big snow banks and the requisite forts, ramps and snow monsters,” Venteicher says. “It’s BYOB, but there’s usually extra to go around.”
No fences necessary Sitting in Joe and Shirley Sadler’s dining room, with its vintage décor, it’s easy to feel nostalgic: black and white family photographs line the walls, mustardyellow cushions sit atop solid pine furniture, impeccable bone china displays proudly in the curio cabinet. The Sadlers have lived in the Barracks/Rugby neighborhood since 1968, when they bought their house for $17,180. In the intervening years, they’ve become central figures on their cul de sac. “I guess we’re the oldest ones here now,” says Shirley. A few neighbors have lived on the short street for most of their lives, but many have relocated from other countries—Tibet, China, Iraq, Kazakhstan—and all over the U.S. Joe and Shirley know everyone and, from his favorite seat in the dining room, he keeps tabs on things through the picture window.

Save the park Gathering place reinvigorated
“The friendliest dog imaginable,” is how her owner describes June, the three-legged border collie who can be seen hanging out at the bus stop in Rugby Hills each weekday morning. “She’s the best,” says her owner. “Lets babies pull her ears, puppies nibble her nose and helps little kids who are afraid of dogs learn to love them—or at least her.”
African-American community members gathered on the grounds of what is now Washington Park long before Paul Goodloe McIntire donated the land to the city in 1926 “for use as a playground for the colored citizens of Charlottesville,” according to the deed. Named for Booker T. Washington, the park had a baseball diamond, pool, tennis courts and other spaces for recreational activity in the ’30s, and by 1936, it had become “an indispensable institution to the Charlottesville community,” according to the city’s website. “But not without growing pains.” With the park’s heavy use, neighbors complained about the loudness, and its conditions were an ongoing concern—a

field for pickup games of football, soccer and baseball or sledding. They also added parking and a staircase to connect the upper and lower levels, which were originally seen as two separate areas. “We did a good job with what we had,” he says, adding that the budget was small, so they used simple materials to create a park with a safe playground and a space for events, such as the African American Cultural Festival each year. Picnics are often held at the small pavilion on the park’s lower level, made possible by a donation from Bama Works, the Dave Matthews Band’s charity. Says Bleam, “And if you’ve seen it for sledding in the winter, it’s wildly successful.”

A former cop (he served on the Charlottesville police force for more than 30 years), Joe’s seen a lot of changes in the city. “I never pulled my gun the whole time,” he says. “Back years ago it was different; it was more man-to-man than it was with a gun or a knife. [Problems were settled] man-to-man.” He’d take afterhours gigs, too, while Shirley worked first shift at Comdial on Route 29, and keep trouble at bay for local restaurant owners downtown. “The country boys from Greene County would come to town on the weekends and fight,” Joe says. “Lawd, the boys could do some fightin’.” Still, while greater Charlottesville has developed into a world-class city, with artisanal soap, spices, beer, beef and vodka, the Sadlers say their neighborhood feels the same as it did back in ’68.
junk car rusting away, poison ivy and snake-infested woods were among its worst attractions. While black and white Recreation Board members motioned to have a chain gang clear the entire site, civic and athletic clubs came to the rescue. Years passed, and by the ’90s, the city hired local architect Gregg Bleam and his firm to reinvigorate the space. He describes the park at that time as “an environment you didn’t want to hang out in,” with a ’60s kind of feel—cracked asphalt, basketball courts in bad condition, hardly any shade and the unfortunate smell of old rubber tires. His firm revitalized Washington Park in two phases, with the construction of a community building and a multipurpose

“There’s not big changes,” says Shirley. “It’s just families and we get out and talk to each other. It’s basically like it was.” Now retired from both a farming career (he kept hogs for years) and his policing, Joe’s had several surgeries, including a recent knee replacement, and local residents have all stepped up to help with meals, lawn-mowing and check-ins. At the latest annual neighborhood potluck, Shirley drove the few hundred feet to the end of the street so she could bring a proper seat and make sure Joe was comfortable, but not before handing off her signature squash casserole with a warning—“Be careful, it’s hot”—to a group outside of her front door, waiting to help.

Mostly small-to-medium single-family houses make up the Rose Hill neighborhood, but it’s also home to the likes of Washington Park, Greenbrier Elementary School, Burley Middle School and a quaint sprinkling of local shops and restaurants that have some locals questioning whether Rose Hill could be the next Belmont. Though the neighborhood was annexed to the city in 1916, many of the homes date back to the World War II era and newer houses aren’t uncommon. In 2012, City Council denied a rezoning request by developer Rosanna Danna LLC, which hoped to build a six-unit apartment complex in the area, in order to maintain the neighborhood’s preference for single-family homes. Because of the area’s central location and proximity to downtown and UVA, the constant pressure of development looms.

BARRACKS ROAD
Growing sales Barracks Road Shopping Center opened in the fall of 1959. At the time, it was considered part of Albemarle County— as in, red dirt alert!—until the city annexed it in 1963, recognizing its merits as a growing destination for retail. Later, the property was acquired by management company Federal Realty Investment Trust, which expanded its footprint across Barracks Road and increased the square footage to 487,000—larger than even Fashion Square Mall up the street. Though it’s recognized as a city neighborhood, Barracks’ only “residents”— save for a few UVA student dormitories in the southwest corner—are commercial, populating the shopping center itself, as well as retail and office space along Arlington Boulevard.

hat was once the Meadows Farm became a subdivision off Angus Road in the mid-1950s. Brick ranchers typical of the era dot the neighborhood, along with duplexes and apartment houses. Back before the housing bubble burst, the neighborhood was attractive for first-
time buyers, but that didn’t work out well for two families. The Vanderfords’ house on North Berkshire ultimately was condemned after it flooded from a rusted storm drain in 2003. “The whole subdivision is a natural drainage ditch,” said a city planner at the time. And the family that bought a moldinfested house on Wayne Avenue in 2005 also ended up losing everything. Fortunately, those dire cases seem to be the exceptions in the Meadows, which is pretty stable, with few for-sale signs. The neighborhood contains a lot of renters—as well as longtime residents, and it is diverse, both ethnically and economically. Barry Sisson is one of the landlords, and he touts the Meadows’ location, location, location. “It’s right across the street from the shopping center at Stonefield with its restaurants and movies,” he says. “You can walk to Whole Foods—or KFC.” “It’s central to live here,” agrees Susanna York, who’s lived on Cedar Hill Road for six years. She likes the stream of joggers and dog walkers, and the worst she can say about the neighborhood is that once every five years or so someone breaks into unlocked cars. “Mostly it’s a younger neighborhood,” says York. “A lot of grad students who want it quieter and young families rent here.” And did we mention friendly? “My neighbor, in the winter, scrapes my driveway,” says York, “so it’s really friendly.”

Surrounded on three sides by UVA, the Lewis Mountain neighborhood is, not surprisingly, filled with professors, administrators and other university professionals on its close-quarter, meandering streets. And it’s been that way since its inception in the late 1930s, when the city annexed land from a county parcel (just over a mile away) on which Lewis Mountain—a much-mythologized historic home and the neighborhood’s namesake—was built in 1909. In 1998, the university purchased the Cavalier Inn and the surrounding land, with plans to build a multimillion-dollar performing arts center.

St. Thomas Aquinas’ neighborly contribution

The priory that houses St. Thomas Aquinas’ Dominican friars was constructed into the side of a hill so it wouldn’t tower over the nearby homes. 46
ituated near UVA Grounds, the Lewis Mountain neighborhood is primarily home to university faculty, staff and students. But in 2013, a brand new facility opened for longstanding residents of the Alderman Road area—a small population of Dominican friars. The Dominican community arrived in Charlottesville in 1959 in order to oversee St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, the Catholic center first established for the university. They purchased a plot of land on the corner of Alderman Road and Midmont Lane, and by the mid-1960s, relocated St. Thomas Aquinas from its original post on Jefferson Park Avenue. The church has undergone various expansions and renovations since that time, but the construction of a permanent residence for the friars—called a priory—marked a notable shift and contribution to the community. A priory is essentially a monastery that houses at least six friars and comprises bedrooms (or cells), a chapel, a library, a common room, a dining room (or refectory) and a courtyard. When building the priory, the
Dominicans took great care to consider their fellow neighbors. “The building was designed to be constructed into the side of a hill so that it would not tower over the houses nearby,” reads the priory campaign outline. “We have sought at all times to respect the integrity and serenity of our neighborhood, and to be a friendly addition to the lovely homes besides ours.” In the same vein, they ensured that the land facing their neighbors was pleasant to the eye, including the construction of the St. Michael garden, complete with an archangel statue. A friar’s role can best be described as a cross between a monk and a diocesan priest. While they live a communal lifestyle with dedicated meditative times under the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, they also serve the community through teaching and pastoral care. The friars can often be seen in their white robes walking around the neighborhood, on Grounds, at the hospital or even on the Downtown Mall singing and speaking with others. By constructing the priory, they’ve added to the neighborhood’s unique fabric.

You know the big names (Belmont, downtown, Barracks/Rugby), but since neighborhoods in this town are a bit like Russian nesting dolls, only true locals know these six hidden pockets.
Prior to 1964, when the city annexed its nearly 650 acres, the Greenbrier neighborhood was considered part of Albemarle County, a suburb of the city. Today, it’s the northernmost section of the city—bounded by the 250 Bypass, Brandywine Drive, Rio Road and the county—but its connection to rural Albemarle is still felt. With the newly constructed John Warner Parkway running along its eastern border, a portion of the Rivanna Trail cutting through its middle and bordering the opposite side, nature is the name of the game for Greenbrier residents—not to mention this neighborhood also contains McIntire and Greenbrier parks within its limits.

Hogwaller With Moore’s Creek bordering it to the south and east, this Belmont area is (supposedly) so named for the nearby livestock market. It’s said that, when the creek rises, it creates a muddy pit where the pigs can wallow. This area in the southeast pocket of Belmont isn’t officially recognized by the city, given its classicist name and tense history.

This 150-unit public housing complex near downtown is technically in the North Downtown neighborhood, but feels worlds away from the tony homes on the other side of the mall. Recognizing the disparity, the Piedmont Housing Alliance launched an improvement plan—for which construction begins in 2019—to redevelop the 12-acre site.

ackie Webber has lived in Greenbrier for 25 years. But it’s her cat who’s made the biggest impression on the neighborhood. Jose, an 11-year-old SPCA rescue (“the only kitten there when I went in the middle of winter,” Webber says), routinely goes for walks on his own, popping into various neighbors’ homes. “One neighbor claims that he plays the piano when he visits her,” Webber, who has three other cats, says. “Another neighbor makes a fire in the fireplace just for Jose because he loves to lie in front of it in the winter.” Webber says he started exploring on his own at first, getting lost a few times until he became acclimated to his territory. Then, when Webber would take walks along the Rivanna Trail, which runs through the neighborhood, he’d come along. He loves meeting anyone new—even dogs. Jose will go right up to them, sniff them and continue on his way. “Neighbors are amazed,” Webber says. “When I take walks in the neighborhood, people who I don’t know see Jose walking with me and say, ‘You must be Jose’s mother.’”
Little High Though it’s technically in the Martha Jefferson neighborhood, the Little High area—comprising East Jefferson to Meriwether between 11th Street and Meade Avenue—has a personality all its own, with rows of smaller, one-story houses and neighbor-focused touches like a community bulletin board.

The high-end ’hood to the north of Barracks Road hidden behind Bodo’s had a racetrack before it became the site of Charlottesville’s first country club in 1916, although at that time it was still in Albemarle County. The club had horse stables and a swimming pool, but the golf course planned there never materialized. Instead it was subdivided and the narrow streets that include Blue Ridge and Hilltop roads hold some of the city’s priciest real estate. In 1948, Chi Psi fraternity occupied the clubhouse, which it sold in 2011, but the 7,000-square-foot house still sits at the end of Rugby Road.

After the Civil War, the lack of access to slave labor prevented prosperous farmer John Craven from affordably cultivating his 400-acre Rose Hill Plantation. By 1890, the Charlottesville Industrial and Land Improvement Company owned much of his estate, save a small strip along what today is Preston Avenue, which his family eventually had subdivided into 23 lots. African-Americans settled in this area and, from there, Kellytown (and its neighboring Tinsleytown) arose.

Thursday 4/20 Honky-tonk hero As a young boy moving about the Midwest with his family in the 1950s, Junior Brown became a good listener, and what he heard was country music “growing up out of the ground like the crops— it was everywhere; coming out of cars, houses, gas stations and stores like the soundtrack of a story.” Brown took that story and made it his own, becoming an accomplished guitarist known for his mastery across country genres—outlaw, Americana, Texas, neotraditional and classic—as well as the invention of an entirely new instrument, a combination of electric guitar and lap steel guitar he calls the “guit-steel.” $22-25, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Sometime in either 1984 or 1985 two junior high school kids with no interest in friendship were seated next to each other in typing class. It turns out they had even less interest in typing, and through a bit of distracted goofiness, including fusing the words wuss and penis, Ween was formed, and history was made. Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo spent the next 28 years as the unrelated Gene and Dean Ween, playing genius, wacky tunes, inventing words and amassing a die-hard fanbase, despite little mainstream exposure. After a breakup (so Dean could get sober) in 2015, the band returned last year for a run of shows before launching a full touring schedule. $42, 7pm. Sprint Pavilion, 700 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 877-CPAV-TIX.

From the Avett Brothers to Widespread Panic, this year’s annual Lockn’ Festival lineup is a who’s who of dusty rock music, but it’s not just household names. Since the festival’s inception, the Rockn’ to Lockn’ battle of the bands has made it possible for Virginia acts to make their Lockn’ debut. Twelve bands, including local favorites Will Overman Band, Sun-Dried Opossum, Kendall Street Company and Adar, will duke it out for a chance to take the big stage. $7-10, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.
Merging the profound with the trivial, Will Eno’s absurdist script for The Realistic Joneses plays out like a tough-topic sketch comedy. When new neighbors arrive, two couples get to know each other through unlikely circumstances that bring them together and push them apart in unexpected ways. The Hollywood Reporter calls the story a “mordant, melancholy existential sitcom.” $20-25, times vary. Live Arts, 123 E. Water St. 977-4177.

comes from versatile piano ace Bruce Hornsby, along with opening sets from local artists Michael Coleman and Erin Lunsford. More regional artists will play Infinity Downs on June 17 at Community Day, another day-long event that features local food vendors, family activities and the Rockn’ to Lockn’ band competition, with six independent Virginia bands competing for three open slots on the main stage at Lockn’, which is set to return on August 24-27. “That’s something I’m really proud of,” says Frey. “There are so many great bands in Virginia, but few opportunities for those just starting out.” Beyond the upcoming music-focused events on the Infinity Downs schedule, which includes The Festy Experience on October 5-8, the venue will also be the site of a new craft beer festival—the inaugural
Brewmasters Ball on June 2 featuring Keller Williams—and a two-day Reebok Spartan Race on June 3-4. With plenty of open space, overnight camping will be offered at most events. Frey says he wants to add more endurance races and organized outdoor activities in an effort to get more people on the property’s seven miles of onsite hiking and mountain biking trails, blazed with help from pro trail builder Dave King, who’s sculpted bike courses for the X Games and BMX. Besides the seven events currently on the schedule, Frey says one or two more could potentially be added at Infinity Downs this year. “This isn’t a place where we have to have 30 events a year,” he adds. “This will be a destination. We’re going to have special events that we can build over time and hopefully grow into evergreen events.”
“Once we got through the improvements we took a breath and then started to plan the next phase, more programming. Now we’re ready to get back to what we do, which is promoting shows. We also want to be ambitious and pair different things with music.” DAVE FREY
GET DOWN AT THE DOWNS When you first hear about a band called The Revivalists from New Orleans, certain sounds come to mind. Jazz and funk? Sure, bits of both are in the mix, but this Crescent City septet is more focused on blending its influences into a well-rounded rock sound. Formed in 2007, the group found fast favor in the jam band world, after an endorsement from guitarist Warren Haynes and opening slots with Gov’t Mule. But the band’s taut grooves—colored with horn blasts and spacey pedal steel fills—often give way to catchy
pop-minded hooks. Case in point is the breakout single “Wish I Knew You” from the group’s latest album, Men Amongst Mountains. The tune, which cruises with an infectious, jangly strut, hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs chart last fall, and the band performed it on “Conan” back in December. The dynamic outfit gets a big boost from frontman Dave Shaw, a vocal powerhouse who delivers dance-ready earworms with an arena-ready soulful howl.

n 2013, Dave Frey and his partner, fellow music promoter Peter Shapiro, started the Lockn’ Festival, a multigenre musical blowout that takes place in late summer on the sprawling Oak Ridge Farm in the Nelson County town of Arrington. Over the past four years the event has brought an array of heavyweight acts in roots, jam and classic rock, including Tom Petty, Phish, the Allman Brothers Band, John Fogerty and members of the Grateful Dead. With Lockn’ in place as an annual happening, the organizers are expanding their ambitions for the festival site with Infinity Downs Farm. The new venue (briefly called Nelson County Preserve before being renamed this year) encompasses 387 acres adjacent to Oak Ridge and holds the Blue Ridge Bowl, a small amphitheater that’s used as a secondary stage during Lockn’. Frey and Shapiro purchased the land in 2014 and will use it to host a range of events, including concerts, day festivals and races. Following important infrastructure investments—drilling wells, adding power sources and installing a 56,000-gallon water tank to have a reliable supply of clean water—the owners of Infinity Downs are opening the venue this weekend, starting with a show by New Orleans-based, soulrock band The Revivalists on April 22. “Once we got through the improvements, we took a breath and then started to plan the next phase, more programming,” says Frey. “Now we’re ready to get back to what we do, which is promoting shows. We also want to be ambitious and pair different things with music.” Indeed, some creative plans are in the works for the new venue, which sits right off Route 29 about halfway between Charlottesville and Lynchburg, and, according to Frey, can be scaled to hold between 1,000 and 12,000 people. A week after the April 29 opening concert, the farm will be the site of A Day at the Downs, a uniquely paired Wine and Wildlife Festival. The day benefits the Arrington-based Wildlife Conservation Center, and will blend tastings from a variety of Virginia wineries with the opportunity to view rare and endangered animals like the bongo antelope.

aybe it’s a cheap conceit for a writer, but there are times when it’s necessary to state the obvious: One of art’s prime functions is to take you somewhere else. In a riveting moment of contemplation, art conveys you to a deeper plane of thought, motivates you to cultivate an unexpected appreciation of the previously mundane and, in the best cases, inspires your own flight. This is how the works of Alonzo Davis and Stacey Evans succeed as noble platforms for intimate, introspective transport. Featured in Second Street Gallery’s latest exhibition, both artists examine our innate desire to explore, and incorporate travel as a unifying theme of their distinct approaches. Davis’ mixed media pieces traverse eras as they recall the imposing challenge of crossing oceans, while Evans’ layered photographs transform landscapes ever-changed by humanity, documenting ephemeral views only Stacey Evans’ landscape collage “Interdependence” is included in “Ways of Seeing” at glimpsed from behind the windows of a pasSecond Street Gallery.

UVA’s Kate Tamarkin takes her final curtain call

hen Kate Tamarkin was an undergraduate at Southern California’s Chapman University, orchestra conductor was not on her list of career choices. “As a female back then, it never occurred to me to even want to [do that],” the music director and conductor of the Charlottesville Symphony at the University of Virginia says. But she was studying music education, and one of the requirements for getting her teaching credential was completing a conducting course. “I dreaded it,” she says, smiling at the memory. “I tried everything to get out of that class, and I didn’t know how I’d get through it.” Turns out Tamarkin did more than get through it—when she stood before a group of musicians for the first time, “a match was struck, and there was fire,” she recalls. Dressed in purple and seated in a conference room at the orchestra’s office on West Main Street, the charismatic Tamarkin ponders her retirement this spring, following 11 years at UVA. She says that several decades after that first college conducting gig, she considers herself to literally be a conductor—something that channels music to the musicians, who express their energy to the audience, which has an emotional response that comes back to the conductor and completes the circuit. “When a concert is going well, my back gets all warm, and it’s not just the lights; I can feel that the circuit is complete,” she says. Daniel Sender, a professional violinist and the orchestra’s concertmaster, says Tamarkin’s energy also extends to members of the symphony. “She has such a warmth from the podium, which is not to say she’s musically light,” he says. “She’s very intense, but her warmth makes the symphony an inviting and open space to make music.” And given the makeup of the group—professionals, students and members of the community—“it takes a very special person to guide those forces together,” Sender says. Due to the current search for her successor, audiences haven’t seen Tamarkin in action since September, when she conducted the first concert of the 2016-17 season. The finalists for her job—Benjamin Rous, Adam Boyles and Cheung Chau—have been at the podium for this season’s middle three concerts, but Tamarkin will return to lead the orchestra for the final time on April 22 and 23, in a program that includes Wagner’s Overture to Die Meistersinger and Elgar’s Enigma Variations.

Kate Tamarkin will conduct her final concerts with the Charlottesville Symphony at the University of Virginia on Saturday and Sunday.
In reflecting on her tenure at UVA, Tamarkin points first to the musicians. “We ask a lot of them, and they give, and keep giving,” she says. “They are a tremendously talented set of people with generosity of spirit and a real commitment to music.” She’s also enjoyed her time as a professor in the McIntire Department of Music and takes pride in having several students who have gone on to become conductors, at least one of whom started out studying economics at UVA. “I poach econ majors!” Tamarkin says with glee. “It’s quite fun; you never know where the talent is going to pop up.” Another highlight for Tamarkin is the symphony’s youth concerts, which are a priority “because arts funding in the schools is diminishing, and it falls to other organizations to fill the gap,” she says. Elizabeth Roberts, a professional bassoon player and instructor who’s been with the orchestra for 16 years, collaborates with Tamarkin on kid-friendly scripts. “We include lots of superheroes,” Roberts says. “And we find ways for kids to hear classical pieces that they have maybe heard on TV commercials, or something else that’s very popular. We hope our narrative helps them understand the music.” The woman who taught herself to play the French horn as a young girl, considers Mozart a “cherished friend,” and was selected by Leonard Bernstein early in her career to lead the Chicago Symphony while he was

there as a guest conductor, says she has no intention of halting her own pursuit of music when she retires after nearly four decades at the podium. Tamarkin is a certified music practitioner who plays the harp for critically ill or dying patients, and she is the creator and program coordinator of Hospice of the Piedmont’s Music by the Bedside. She’s also

a musician in residence at UVA Medical Center and she plays regularly at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital. “It’s hard to explain the magical, soothing effect of the harp,” says Tamarkin. She recently told WVTF radio that “in many cultures, they play someone out, they sing someone out, they chant someone out. ...We try to watch the patient’s breathing to read all those nonverbal and verbal signals that we can receive and then match the music to the condition the patient is in, and then, hopefully, help them relax, to get to a place where the whole experience is easier.” One experience that won’t be easy for many is Tamarkin’s departure from UVA.“Every leader brings their own style,” Roberts says. “Kate brings a great joy for the music and a joy for what she does as a conductor, educator and artist. We will all miss that joy.”

hen a major band comes to Charlottesville, it doesn’t necessarily take the stage at the John Paul Jones arena or the Jefferson Theater. Culture, one of the most influential reggae bands of all time, returns to play The Ante Room on April 21. And while the band hails from Jamaica, its current keyboard player is a Virginia native. Chris “Peanut” Whitley grew up in Harrisonburg and discovered Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Culture in high school. After graduating from Shenandoah University in Winchester, he joined a local reggae band that was opening for Culture at Trax, a now-closed nightclub that was the center of the local music scene throughout the ’80s and ’90s. “The music director at that time said ‘Would you be interested in coming on tour?’ I didn’t really understand what I was signing up for,” Whitley recalled. “I knew I could play but I was nervous. It’s Culture man, my favorite act! I had to learn about 100 songs. Right away my first tour was for six months. Can you imagine? All over the world. I was in my early 20s. I was like a kid
in a candy store...It was a dream come true.” Culture was formed in 1976 by Albert “Ralph” Walker, Joseph Hill and Roy “Kenneth” Dayes. Hill died in 2006 after collapsing during a show and his son, Kenyatta, now fronts the band. Culture rose to international acclaim with its debut single “Two Sevens Clash,” and the album of the same name. Reggae had not previously been popular outside of Jamaica, but Two Sevens Clash became widely appreciated within the early U.K. punk scene by bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash. After being adopted by the British punk scene, Culture and other big reggae acts found a different niche in the U.S. as they were accepted by American hippies. Dreadlocks increasingly began to appear at Grateful Dead concerts. Starting in the 1980s, American reggae promoters began “really tapping into the Dead Head scene and the hippie thing,” says Whitley. “That’s how Culture became a mainstay in the States. Culture, Spear, Eek-a-Mouse and Yellowman became bigger than the rest of them because they got picked up by the hippie thing.” Whitley believes that Culture is probably the biggest reggae act on the African continent. “Huge crowds of 100,000-plus,” Whitley says. “They took Joseph Hill’s music and lyrics for their own. He spoke for the oppressed. They felt like Joseph was a rallying cry to the world. About African liberation. Really giving dignity and pride to being African... he was bigger than Bob Marley there.” In 2002, Two Sevens Clash was named “one of the 50 coolest albums of all time” by Rolling Stone. With Kenyatta Hill still fronting the band and original member Walker performing with them, Culture brings a unique opportunity to Charlottesville. The band that inspired millions can be seen in The Ante Room’s intimate setting, in a space no larger than the Jamaican clubs they started out in 40 years ago.

fter 16 years—old enough, as it turns out, to finally get its driver’s license—the Fast and Furious series finally has nothing left to prove. There’s no need to explain why good guys turn bad, how a particular bit of technology works or where an improvised ramp came from that Vin Diesel somehow knew would be just the right angle to leap over and save the day in the most spectacular way possible. The Fast and Furious movies have transcended the need to make cinematic sense in any conventionally definable way; they make their own rules, no matter how absurd, then break them before things get too stale. The Fate of the Furious—or F8, if you will—sees the team divided as Dominic Toretto (Diesel) goes rogue under the command of mysterious supercriminal Cipher (series newcomer Charlize Theron). We meet Toretto in Havana on his honeymoon, having just married Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez). An improbable situation, perhaps, but as F8 is the first American film to be shot in Cuba since before the Revolution, director F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job, Friday, Straight Outta Compton) squeezes every ounce of color and excitement out of the island na-
tion’s legendary car culture in a breathtaking opening race. It is there that Cipher corners Toretto with some damning information, using it as leverage for him to do her bidding. Toretto then turns on the gang after stealing an EMP device, a blow so severe that they must now team up with former adversary Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). Along the way are some of the most spectacular action sequences of the past decade, or at least since the best entry in the series, Fast & Furious 6. A glorious prison break, a stampede of zombified cars with auto-drive remotely activated in New York, a race to and then away from a nuclear submarine in

missile/computer/whatever, than if you’re just driving really fast. The Fast and Furious franchise started as a bro-cop B movie and turned into a playground for the best stunts and action sequences in any modern flick not called Mad Max. We might groan at how silly it is, but we need more films like what the series has become, not where it started. Here’s hoping the franchise survives long enough to be the first American movie filmed in North Korea and they have to stop a space shuttle.

Russia’s far north—you may forget the plot halfway through, but Gray and company know that it’s just an excuse for insane set pieces and batty dialogue. Take a moment to consider how far we’ve come from the plot of the original films which was essentially Point Break with cars instead of surfboards. The characters aren’t even the same people. Ludacris somehow became the world’s greatest computer genius, The Rock is evolving into a literal granite monster and Tyrese Gibson’s actual role on the team is unclear as he spends most of his lines bragging and/or complaining. This is actually a vast improvement on the first movie; platitudes about the importance of family are a lot easier to swallow if you’re willing to blow up a world-ending

On the regulars Timberlake’s customers are like family By Erin O’Hare eatdrink@c-ville.com

t’s quarter after noon on a Wednesday and Debbie Kirby stands behind the lunch counter at Timberlake’s Drug Store and Soda Fountain. She adjusts the side ties on her red cotton smock before filling a tall red plastic cup with cola and hustling it over to one of the three men sitting at a small, laminate-topped table nearby. A mother sits at the counter, reading lunch options off a menu to her two small children who cautiously swivel back and forth on red-cushioned stools, their eyes fixed on the cherry pie and vanilla-frosted chocolate cake sitting expectantly in domed stands on the counter. Kirby and a green-smocked counter lady flit back and forth across the green-andwhite checkerboard floor, pouring fountain drinks, fetching silverware and fixing lunches—tuna salad platters, hot dogs with mustard and relish, BLTs. Lined up on the counter, and on the center of every table, is a neat cluster of salt and pepper shakers, a container of yellow Splenda packets and a laminated menu propped up between a napkin holder and a sugar jar. Photographs in slim plastic frames crowd the ledge on one of the dining room’s walls. “These are our regulars,” Kirby tells me before pointing to the men sitting at the table she delivered a soda to moments before. “You might recognize some of them.” One of the men, a lawyer named Dayton, says he and the other men at his table come to the Downtown Mall eatery for lunch “frequently, maybe three or four days a week.” The lunch is pretty good, he says over the wire rims of his glasses, but he’s mostly here “for the service and for the company.” He can’t
Timberlake’s Drug Store and Soda Fountain is so fond of its regulars that framed photos of them are displayed on one wall.
remember how long he’s been coming to Timberlake’s for lunch, but it’s been a while. Dayton won’t tell me his last name—“just Dayton, like Prince or something,” he laughs. Tom McQueeney remembers, though— he says he’s been having lunch here for the past 10 or 15 years at least. McQueeney is mostly retired but currently works at Daedalus Bookshop for an hour and a half on Monday mornings, helping owner Sandy McAdams, who uses a wheelchair to get around, turn on the lights and carry books from floor to floor in the shop. McQueeney jokes about how stressed he gets on Sunday nights, knowing he has to go to work in the morning. “An hour and a half shift, that’s a long one,” I say.
“It sure is!” McQueeney replies before digging into a bag of potato chips and laughing with his lunch companions. The regulars don’t necessarily plan to meet here for lunch, but they often eat together. Once they’ve filled up one table, they’ll take over others and talk over the narrow aisles. McQueeney asks me why I’m not a Timberlake’s regular. It’s a good question. I try to save money by bringing my lunch to work, I tell him, but I do come to lunch here every now and then. “What do you get when you come here?” he asks. “The BLT,” I reply. “Ah, see, that’s because [these are] the best ‘tomatas’ in town,” he says, tugging on a button on his windowpane-checkered shirt.
A man dressed in a charcoal-gray suit carries his brown bagged to-go order over to the table and asks, “What’s going on over here?” I explain that I’m working on a story about neighborhood restaurant regulars for C-VILLE Weekly, and he teasingly asks why I’d want to talk to “these fools.” “Can you believe it? A story in the paper,” says a fifth man, who takes a seat at a table next to the wall, right under his framed photo on the ledge, and starts paging through our paper. Today, he’s wearing the same suit jacket he wore in the photo—his shirt and bow tie are different, but they’re in the same pink-khaki-gray palette. When Kirby brings the check, the regulars joke about who will cover it. “Give it to him!” “No, give it to that guy over there! I got it yesterday.” From behind the register, which sits atop a dessert case full of cake slices on white paper plates with scalloped edges, each covered with a taut layer of plastic wrap, Kirby agrees to answer a couple of questions, as long as it doesn’t take too long—she’s busy. “You get to know regulars really well over the years,” says Kirby, who has worked at Timberlake’s for 17 years. “They become your friends,” she says they’ll tell her about their problems and she’ll listen, sympathize and maybe even share a few of her own. They become like family. “They give me a hard time, and I give it right back to them,” Kirby says, smiling. “It’s a real family place,” she tells me, encouraging me to bring my family in with me sometime. “They live far away, up north in Boston,” I tell her. “That’s okay. You can talk to us. And we have the best milkshakes in town,” she says with a wink.

By Rob Brezsny
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Fantasize about sipping pear nectar and listening to cello music and inhaling the aroma of musky amber and caressing velvet, cashmere and silk. Imagine how it would feel to be healed by inspiring memories and sweet awakenings and shimmering delights and delicious epiphanies. I expect experiences like these to be extra available in the coming weeks. But they won’t necessarily come to you freely and easily. You will have to expend effort to ensure they actually occur. So be alert for them. Seek them out. Track them down.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Contagion may work in your favor, but it could also undermine you. On the one hand, your enthusiasm is likely to ripple out and inspire people whose help you could use. On the other hand, you might be more sensitive than usual to the obnoxious vibes of manipulators. But now that I’ve revealed this useful tip, let’s hope you will be able to maximize the positive kind of contagion and neutralize the negative. Here’s one suggestion that may help: Visualize yourself to be surrounded by a golden force field that projects your good ideas far and wide even as it prevents the disagreeable stuff from leaking in.
Cancer
Aries (March 21-April 19): After George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States, he had to move from his home in Virginia to New York City, which at the time was the center of the American government. But there was a problem: He didn’t have enough cash on hand to pay for his long-distance relocation, so he was forced to scrape up a loan. Fortunately, he was resourceful and persistent in doing so. The money arrived in time for him to attend his own inauguration. I urge you to be like Washington in the coming weeks, Aries. Do whatever’s necessary to get the funds you need to finance your life’s next chapter.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, there will be helpers whose actions will nudge you—sometimes inadvertently—toward a higher level of professionalism. You will find it natural to wield more power and you will be more effective in offering your unique gifts. Now maybe you imagine you have already been performing at the peak of your ability, but I bet you will discover—with a mix of alarm and excitement—that you can become even more excellent. Be greater, Leo! Do better! Live stronger! (P.S.: As you ascend to this new level of competence, I advise you to be humbly aware of your weaknesses and immaturities. As your clout rises, you can’t afford to indulge in self-delusions.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I love to see you Virgos flirt with the uncharted and the uncanny and the indescribable. I get thrills and chills whenever I watch your fine mind trying to make sense of the fabulous and the foreign and the unfathomable. What other sign can cozy up to exotic wonders and explore forbidden zones with as much no-nonsense pragmatism as you? If anyone can capture greased lightning in a bottle or get a hold of magic beans that actually work, you can.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A friend told me about a trick used by his grandmother, a farmer. When her brooding hens stopped laying eggs, she would put them in pillowcases that she then hung from a clothesline in a stiff breeze. After the hens got blown around for a while, she returned them to their cozy digs. The experience didn’t hurt them, and she swore it put them back on track with their egg-laying. I’m not comfortable with this strategy. It’s too extreme for an animal-lover like myself.
(And I’m glad I don’t have to deal with recalcitrant hens.) But maybe it’s an apt metaphor or poetic prod for your use right now. What could you do to stimulate your own creative production?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Now would be an excellent time to add deft new nuances to the ways you kiss, lick, hug, snuggle, caress and fondle. Is there a worthy adventurer who will help you experiment with these activities? If not, use your pillow, your own body, a realistic life-size robot or your imagination. This exercise will be a good warm-up for your other assignment, which is to upgrade your intimacy skills. How might you do that? Hone and refine your abilities to get close to people. Listen deeper, collaborate stronger, compromise smarter and give more. Do you have any other ideas?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If I had nine hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first six sharpening my ax,” said Abraham Lincoln, one of America’s most productive presidents. I know you Sagittarians are more renowned for your bold, improvisational actions than your careful planning and strategic preparation, but I think the coming weeks will be a time when you can and should adopt Lincoln’s approach. The readier you are, the freer you’ll be to apply your skills effectively and wield your power precisely.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Zoologists say that cannibalizing offspring is common in the animal kingdom, even among species that care tenderly for their young. So when critters eat their kids, it’s definitely “natural.” But I trust that in the coming weeks, you won’t devour your own children. Nor, I hope, will you engage in any behavior that metaphorically
resembles such an act. I suspect that you may be at a low ebb in your relationship with some creation or handiwork or influence that you generated out of love. But please don’t abolish it, dissolve it or abandon it. Just the opposite, in fact: Intensify your efforts to nurture it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your astrological house of communication will be the scene of substantial clamor and ruckus in the coming weeks. A bit of the hubbub will be flashy but empty. But much of it should be pretty interesting, and some of it will even be useful. To get the best possible results, be patient and objective rather than jumpy and reactive. Try to find the deep codes buried inside the mixed messages. Discern the hidden meanings lurking within the tall tales and reckless gossip. If you can deal calmly with the turbulent flow, you will give your social circle a valuable gift.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The best oracular advice you’ll get in the coming days probably won’t arise from your dreams or an astrological reading or a session with a psychic, but rather by way of seemingly random signals, like an overheard conversation or a sign on the side of a bus or a scrap of paper you find lying on the ground. And I bet the most useful relationship guidance you receive won’t be from an expert, but maybe from a blog you stumble upon or a barista at a café or one of your old journal entries. Be alert for other ways this theme is operating, as well. The usual sources may not have useful info about their specialties. Your assignment is to gather up accidental inspiration and unlikely teachings. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: RealAstrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.
April 19 – 25, 2017 c-ville.com
(June 21-July 22): A reader named Kris X sent me a rebuke. “You’re not a guru or a shaman,” he sneered. “Your horoscopes are too filled with the slippery stench of poetry to be useful for spiritual seekers.” Here’s my response: “Thank you, sir! I don’t consider myself a guru or shaman, either. It’s not my mission to be an all-knowing authority who hands down foolproof advice. Rather, I’m an apprentice to the Muse of Curiosity. I like to wrestle with useful, beautiful paradoxes. My goal is to be a joyful rebel stirring up benevolent trouble, to be a cheerleader for the creative imagination.” So now I ask you, my fellow Cancerian: How do you avoid getting trapped in molds that people pressure you to fit inside? Are you skilled at being yourself even if that’s different from what’s expected of you? What are the soulful roles you choose to embody despite the fact that almost no one understands them? Now is a good time to meditate on these matters.

Breastfeeding Study
Still feeling symptoms of depression after having taken a prescription antidepressant? If so, please consider participating in our medical research study of an investigational drug. To participate, you must be experiencing a depressive episode, be at least 18 years old, and have had inadequate relief from 1 or 2 antidepressants. There is no charge and compensation may be available. Principal Investigator: Anita H. Clayton, MD.
Researchers seek healthy, lactating women with young infants (1 to 6 months). The purpose is to compare an infant changing table and a personal breast monitor to measure breastmilk intake. Participants will use the devices before and after breastfeeding over 1 week and complete a brief survey. Two brief UVA Health System visits include training and collection of the devices, and return of the devices at the end of the study. Compensation: $25 gift card. Principal Investigator: Joann McDermid, PhD.

Q&A What’s the biggest issue your neighborhood is facing right now? Construction. We don’t need any more hotels!
Rising land assessments.
Gentrification. Developers who see only profits and want to squeeze the cheapest McMansions, devoid of culture and not architecturally relevant to the neighborhood’s style and history, that also leave little yard and no room for play spaces for children. #Fifeville

The proposal to build a huge multi-use highrise in the middle of a neighborhood with primarily single-family homes.
Target practice, sound pollution.

I was born and raised in Ivy and there’s a new neighborhood there. From what I gather, the folks that live there don’t have any challenges. I hate to see my original neighborhood dwindling and fading away, but the people I grew up with—the working class— left to find other opportunities. It’s hard to keep up with how expensive it is to live there now.

I live in Fry’s Spring and I would say visibility can be a challenge at certain intersections, like right beside Fry’s Spring Beach Club. Sometimes I can hardly see what’s going on when I pull up there.
