“If you look closely, you can see the cracks in everything. And that’s okay…it’s the cracks and gaps and chinks in things that let the light shine in.” D. Anne Love
If there was a word to embody this year for our city, it would be “rebuilding.” As we spent the last eight months grieving, reacting and reflecting, we’ve inevitably been faced with some hard truths. But we’ve also been met with kindness, and seen a community full of resilient people who continue to try to make things better in the place we call home.

Hit parade The Albemarle High School Marching Patriots were among the dozens of groups that participated in the 69th annual Dogwood Festival Parade on Saturday, April 21. Marching with the band were several students with starring roles in Spamalot, the AHS spring musical, which opens with a preview performance on Thursday (see p. 51 for more information). The theme of this year’s parade was Candy Land, and for the first time in decades, sweets were thrown to hundreds of spectators who lined the downtown Charlottesville route.

After the Sexual Assault Resource Agency showed a video on male sexual pleasure to Western Albemarle High School students, upset parents complained, and the school axed its years-long relationship with the nonprofit. County schools spokesperson Phil Giaramita says the video wasn’t reviewed first, but SARA documented the approval of its sex ed curriculum by the head P.E. teacher.
hat’s the reason we did this—people fly down the street,” says Shawnee West as she watches a car drive through the intersection of Little High and 11th streets. West is standing at the edge of the circular trafficcalming mural she designed with the help of one of her neighbors. Last fall, West and dozens of her neighbors painted the geometric eight-petal blue flower with pink-and-white butterflies surrounding it. The color scheme was inspired by the mural on the adjacent Charlottesville Day School. Some of the children who helped signed their names along one of the outer rings. West, who spent about a month gathering signatures from neighbors for a project petition she then submitted to the city, says this intersection is a particularly dangerous one because it’s a main thoroughfare for both city and school buses, but is only a two-way stop. Neighbors asked for four stop signs but were denied. She says they’ve also tried to garner enough support to petition for speed bumps on both Little High and East Jefferson streets. “Of course we dread the worst thing that could happen,” she says. “People wait until there’s a serious crisis before anyone does anything and we’re trying to prevent that.” West and her fellow Little High residents will give the mural a second coat of paint in May, to ensure their efforts have a lasting effect. “When you do something, people want to help, they want to be part of something,” she says. “And to be part of a community of people who say, ‘What can I do?’—it’s great.”

university subsequently learned that the necessary parade permits had not been obtained from the city for the events planned for April 6, this concern was raised with Ms. Scott-Jones who subsequently decided to cancel the events planned for that date.” “The first part of that is a lie,” says ScottJones. She says Dirron Allen, assistant dean of students and director of student activities, told her, “We can’t allow you to do anything planned for Thursday.” She says, “We canceled Friday because at that point, our artistic vision was ruined.” Allen did not respond to Scott-Jones’ characterization of the cancellation, but de Bruyn says, “The Arts Board proposes artistic events for the university to consider hosting, and these proposed events are subject to the university’s review and approval.” Woodham says he had received approval from the Arts Board. “I’ve worked for universities, civic organizations and cities. Nothing’s ever been censored before. We followed the Arts Board procedure. This was very last minute.” And, he says, the decision was “based on misinformation.” Apprey calls the project “haphazard” and “misinformed”—but says, “I don’t have the right to censor anyone.” And he compares it to asking Jewish students at Hillel House if they’d like to go to an Auschwitz re-enactment. “The OAAA objected strongly and I would have been very upset if it had hap-
pened in spite of our objections,” he says. “Can you imagine after tiki torches on our Grounds, an enactment of a slave auction on our Grounds?” He also suggests, “Before seeking refuge in an expression of ‘free’ speech, could we ask: Is what we are about to say or do a good idea?” “The decision to cancel was troubling,” says Larry Goedde, chair of the department of art, who says he would be meeting with Dean of Students Allen Groves to learn what led to the decision and to clarify what the policy would be going forward. “How is it wounding to celebrate the people who built the university?” asks ScottJones, who says there was no slave auction planned and that the objectors, had they talked to the artists, could have gotten an accurate picture of what they planned to do. “You’ve got these black students so ashamed of their history, they want to ignore it,” she says. “I am sad that after everything this town went through in August, they still don’t understand the real problem,” says Scott-Jones. “The reason Nazis could come here is because we haven’t paid attention to the other part of our history.” Scott-Jones traces her ancestry to 1793 in Scottsville. “This is my history,” she says. “For the deans of the Office of AfricanAmerican Affairs to assume this was anything but meticulously put together is ludicrous and offensive.”

Leslie Scott-Jones had planned a celebration of the slaves who built the University of Virginia, but the Art in Odd Places performance was canceled after objections from black students and the Office of African-American Affairs.
Manhattan-based artist Ed Woodham has produced Art in Odd Places for more than 15 years all over the country. The University of Virginia, where he had 28 artists interpret the theme of “Matter,” is the first place one of the performances was canceled.

W
hen the student-run UVA Studio Arts Board asked New York artist Ed Woodham to bring his Art in Odd Places to the university, he wanted local artists to take part in the public visual and performance art, and the centerpiece of the two-day April event featured local theater artists Leslie Scott-Jones and Brandon Lee. Two days before the performance, their project was canceled because of objections of black students and the Office of AfricanAmerican Affairs. The artists say they were censored, and the dean of the OAAA says re-enactment of the enslaved laborers who built the university would be humiliating. Both sides say the other is “misinformed.” Woodham, who started staging Art in Odd Places after 9/11 in New York, was selected to be UVA’s artist-in-residence in April 2017. “Then the events of August happened,” he says. Scott-Jones, who is artistic director at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and who has helped revive the historic black theater troupe, the Charlottesville Players Guild, proposed “Historical Matters” to Woodham last fall. “My idea was to have a historical re-enactment on the Lawn using research from UVA’s Commission on Slavery,” she says. That was for April 5. The next day, she wanted Queen Charlotte, who was black and for whom Charlottesville was named, to be in a parade with fife and drums from the university to the Downtown Mall, where Thomas Jefferson and James Madison would present her with the keys to the city. Scott-Jones contacted Lee, who had been a re-enactor as a child at Colonial Williamsburg and who was a 2006 UVA grad. “As an artist, I wanted to do something in line with historical interpretation” that would include the experience of slave laborers and the first minority students at UVA, he says. “Other than my senior research, that’s the most time I’ve spent on anything,” he says. Scott-Jones recruited five professional reenactors, who agreed to participate in “Historical Matters” at reduced rates, she says. She obtained permit paperwork for the parade and sent it to UVA to submit as the entity that was sponsoring the event, she says. Then she heard that an emergency meeting of the Black Presidents Council—the student presidents of all the black organizations on Grounds—was being held the night of April 2 and was told, “None of the students knew about it, they didn’t want slave reenactments and didn’t approve it,” she says.
April 25 – May 1, 2018 c-ville.com
She and Lee were not invited to the meeting, but showed up anyway. “The meeting got a little heated,” says Lee. Lee, who is community advisor to his Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, says he was surprised to hear the students say they had not been advised about the project. “It’s totally inaccurate,” he says. “I pulled up an email I’d sent [to one of them]. Nobody responded.” The students voted 14-0 against the project, with three abstentions. Maurice Apprey, dean of the Office of African-American Affairs, says he first heard about the performance four days before it was scheduled. “A student came to me and said, ‘Someone came to our door and asked if we wanted to be slaves,’” he says. “Can you imagine how upset you’d be as a parent?” An email to Pat Lampkin, UVA vice president and chief student affairs officer, signed by Apprey and three other deans in his office, says, “The pretext of the entire project was clearly offensive.” The deans wrote, “We shudder at the thought of having to explain to concerned parents, students and alumni that our black and non-black students are being asked to play roles of humiliation; namely, the enslaved and slave-owning.” They also shuddered at the idea of prospective students and their parents coming upon such an event while considering attendance at UVA. UVA denies canceling the event. “Given serious concerns raised by minority student groups regarding the nature of the performances, Ms. Scott-Jones agreed not to proceed with the events planned for April 5 in order that additional dialogue and discussion might occur with those groups,” says spokesperson Anthony de Bruyn. “When the

Fifeville fumes No parking after 7am By Mary Jane Gore reporter@c-ville.com

ifeville is a neighborhood of new avenues and narrow side streets. Some curbs are permit parking only; others are open. The well-positioned neighborhood, near West Main Street and adjacent to the UVA Health System and other university buildings, is now fighting to preserve its streets for resident parking. “It’s getting worse and worse,” laments Dawn Woodford, who’s lived in Fifeville for 20 years. “Someone visiting a resident can’t find parking space. Sometimes someone parks so you can’t even get in the driveway.” Empty spaces fill up quickly, mainly in the morning between 7 and 8am as people leave their cars and head to work. There is “no place to park,” says Woodford, and in her view, the expansion of the UVA Emergency Department area will lead to worse congestion. “The issue of parking in our neighborhoods that surround the university and the university hospital is certainly one that is of concern given the impact it has on the quality of life of our residents,” says City Councilor Heather Hill, who recently became one of two councilors representing the city on the Planning and Coordination Council. UVA Health System does provide parking options, though employees must pay more for nearby garage slots. “All health system team members have options to park in university-owned
Dawn Woodford says Fifeville parking suffers because of UVA employees.
parking lots or garages,” says Eric Swensen, public information officer for UVA Health System. “Some of those parking areas are within walking distance of the UVA Medical Center.” Employees also may park at satellite locations, such as UHall/John Paul Jones Arena and Scott Stadium, and then ride a bus. The contractor for the hospital expansion project has rented parking spaces for construction workers, Swensen notes. Related problems also are evident. “As I observed while visiting a neighborhood off of Cherry Avenue, beyond parking is the issue of individuals walking through private property,
crossing the railroad line, and then climbing over the fence to get to their place of work,” Hill says of an early April visit. One solution would be more UVA employee parking in the area. “There are no park-and-ride locations near the hospital, and no new parking areas are planned at this time,” Swensen says. UVA Health System is making plans that could help to alleviate the crowding. By realigning and relocating its ambulatory care sector by 2024, the footprint of care near the hospital would shrink from a current 413,000 visits to about 200,000 visits annually. The Fontaine Research Center could double its visits—from 182,000 per year now to about 400,000 in the future. Permit parking is another idea that could keep nonresidents off the Fifeville streets. “I would encourage those streets that have not implemented zone permit parking to evaluate it with their neighbors and communicate back to the city what hurdles may be preventing alignment,” Hill suggests. “Is it cost, which we can likely work through some options to address? Is it convenience, as permits make it difficult for guests to visit residents depending on the time of day? Other reasons?” Woodford says the police don’t always come. Hill agrees that “enforcement can be a challenge given the relatively limited resources.” Woodford’s bottom line is clear: “Why should we pay to fix UVA’s broken parking situation” as rents rise in Fifeville?

The property used to be wooded and teeming with salamanders, toads and frogs, says Schatzman. The amount of impervious surface will increase from 155,850 to 184,175 square feet, to cover 58 percent of the total area, according to Taylor.

then seep back into the ground, rather than sending it to the Chesapeake Bay. Schatzman also says a project representative has twice said the apartments won’t be financially viable unless they get a special-use permit to increase the number of residences. “Here’s what pisses me off,” she says. “They’re going through this charade of by-right apartments of 138 units. Their real objective is to double that.” Taylor concurs, but says he’s still working on the details. “In general, we would like to increase density via a rezoning or special-use permit, which would allow for the creation of onsite affordable housing as well as a number of amenities that would benefit all of Belmont,” he says. Taylor submitted the preliminary site plan application in February and has until July to resubmit a new version that addresses comments from folks at Neighborhood Development Services, according to Missy Creasy, the city organization’s assistant director. As for the project’s moniker, the Belmont Apartments actually already exist at 1000 Monticello Rd.—so Schatzman suggests a new name for the 46-foot-tall buildings already at a 440-foot elevation: the “Block My View Apartments.”—Samantha Baars

Popular Mas Tapas in the middle of Belmont is getting a new neighbor. Actually, more than 100 of them. The Belmont Apartments, proposed by Coran Capshaw- and Alan Taylorowned Riverbend Development, will consist of at least 138 by-right apartment units, a clubhouse and 27,000 square feet of office and commercial space spread into six main structures. Residential buildings and the mixeduse space will each be four stories tall, according to the plans, which say the development will sit on about 6.6 acres—although the site plan preliminary application puts that acreage at 5.3, and Taylor says any discrepancy will be cleared up through normal Fitz survey work. ger iresald’s to the neighbors “We haveTtalked H ton are planning to set up several timesinand Ave La Taza . a month,” a regular meeting once says Taylor. “WhileSouthern they’ve been supportive Clay Crescent Fitness of the project, they are most concerned Junction about potential traffic issues.” The Local Taylor estimates 918 vehicle trips in Tavola and out of the complex per day, Belmont with a Market peak of 70 vehicles per hour in the morning and 86 per hour in the evening.

furter and Anton Menger have been credited with the same quote: “There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal men.” Though members of the First United Methodist Church have been vocal in their opposition to white supremacy, Woodson says he doesn’t believe the messages were directed toward them. “I really think it was due to the high traffic that would have been downtown for the Tom Tom Festival,” he says. “Any time there’s going to be a large gathering of people, it presents an opportunity for these white supremacists to spread their discord and hatred.” He adds that local residents should be aware of what’s happening, and that white supremacy doesn’t always look like a man marching down Market Street with a swastika flag. “We can’t seem to get the vast majority of the community to understand that this is still happening and it’s going to take every single person to get involved in order to make a difference,” the reverend says.

‘No more silence’ Area students demand gun control—again “Are we next?” That was the question on the minds and T-shirts of several local students who participated in the National School Walkout April 20, on the anniversary of the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School that left 15 people dead. More than 100 students from Charlottesville, Albemarle and Monticello high schools, Tandem Friends School and the Village School met on the Downtown Mall to protest gun violence in schools and advocate for stricter firearm laws. The students amassed at the Freedom of Speech Wall, where they began chalking messages such as “Make schools safe again,” “No more silence,” “Time’s up” and “Fuck the NRA.” And when a man in camouflage pants cupped his hands around his mouth and began chanting, “Second Amendment!” at the group, they collectively countered with, “Kids before guns.”
CHS seniors Helen Gehle and Kelly Kossi helped organize the event as a project in their Becoming a Global Citizen class, in which students are encouraged to take political action. “This is another milestone,” said Kossi, who also attended the March 24 March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C. “We want to feel safer in our schools.” Out of habit, Kossi checks her classroom doors at the beginning of each class to make sure they’re locked——a reality she wishes didn’t have to exist. While she won’t be voting in the next election, Gehle will, and according to the new voter, young people are on a mission to elect representatives with whom they see eye to eye. “Tom Garrett is not someone who represents us,” she said, denouncing the funding the 5th District Congressman has received from the NRA, his vote to allow concealed carrying without a permit and support of other pro-gun laws.

t’s okay to be white.” The sentence that first started popping up on high school and university campuses in November is the same one that was plastered onto dozens of fliers, folded into a neat square, stuffed into a sandwich bag with a rock in it and tossed on North Downtown lawns the night of April 17. Neighbors on Cargil Lane, Marshall and Hazel streets and Locust and Watson avenues were some of many who awoke to find such a message on April 18. “I think it’s supposed to be intimidating,” says Gail South, whose husband found their note around 7am. “Why on earth would someone do this?” But Reverend Phil Woodson, of First United Methodist Church, says it came as no surprise, because there have been almost 40 overt actions or events involving white supremacists in town since August of last year. “One of the narratives that people like to think is that on August 12 we were invaded, that people came from somewhere else,” he says. “But the reality is that there’s still a large number of white supremacists who live in and around Charlottesville.”
He mentions cars that have since been spray painted with racial slurs, white supremacists who have interrupted City Council meetings and an enormous Confederate flag recently raised on the side of Interstate 64 in Louisa. Charlottesville has been the target of racist fliers before, and the Winchester Star reports the KKK distributed 22 similar fliersin-a-baggie in Frederick County April 8. On the morning of April 16, Woodson arrived at the First United Methodist Church to find its nearby telephone poles stapled with similar fliers, and with one caught in the netting of the church’s scaffolding. This flier was a Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson quote that read, “The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard.” Quotes on fliers stapled to nearby telephone poles were attributed to Charlottesville’s beloved Thomas Jefferson, though Monticello’s website says Plato, Felix Frank-

As the CHS students marched from their Melbourne Road high school to the Downtown Mall, they chanted, “Hey hey, ho ho, Tom Garrett has got to go.”
“Tom Garrett is not someone who represents us.” HELEN GEHLE
And when the students eventually began marching around the mall, members of a group from MHS proudly hoisted their handmade signs above their heads. One said, “Bullets are not school supplies.” And another: “We should be writing papers, not eulogies.”—Samantha Baars

Martha Jefferson residents decry incoming apartment building

“This galvanized us,” Jackson says. Jackson watched the development proposal process closely and broke down the developer’s plans and technical language for neighborhood residents in each phase, and at planning meetings residents asked for changes they felt would foster more interaction between the new renters and longtime residents, such as mixed-use components and park space. “I met with a developer who’s doing something by-right who said, ‘We’re doing a little café because we want people to be here, along with outdoor seating and walkways with trees’—none of that is being included in any of these conversations,” Bennis says. She feels like the city’s development approval process favors a developer’s interest over neighborhood interests and points to the fact that City Council approved the SUP by a 3-2 vote, with the stipulation that the developer put in affordable housing units (four units—3 percent of the total) only to have the developer later say it intended to put those units in another development in its
portfolio. Bennis says residents were also initially upset that the number of affordable units wasn’t higher. She says she “tells anyone who will listen” about Cambridge, Massachusetts, which requires that each new development include 20 percent affordable units. “Our neighborhood is very welcoming,” Bennis says. “That would have been a selling point for us, if they had increased the number of affordable units.” Bennis says she’s heard from other neighborhood association presidents who are concerned with developments that are changing the landscape of their neighborhoods, but points to projects like Dairy Central in the 10th and Page neighborhood, whose developer, Stony Point, has not only held meetings with neighborhood residents but incorporated some of their suggestions in the design. “Because the process is flawed, we end up with things like this [East Jefferson Place] that are going to be out of proportion, not harmonious with the rest of the neighborhood and offer no interaction between the people who live here and this new space,” Bennis says.—JL

service-type businesses and offices generally open during daytime hours, with minimal traffic impact.) The residents not only decry the project’s size—10 feet above the maximum allowed height of 45 feet with five stories on 10th Street and four stories built on a berm on 11th Street, along with a parking structure underneath—but the city’s development approval process. In October 2016, the City Planning Commission recommended denial of the specialuse permit for the residential project, then proposed at four stories. The developers appealed, and the project, which was redesigned to add an extra fifth story, went before City Council on July 5, 2017—three days before the KKK rally and the day after the Fourth of July. Kate Bennis, president of the Little High Neighborhood Association, says she felt the timing of the hearing was less than ideal because many neighbors were out of town. In terms of neighborhood importance, Bennis points to the fact that the neighborhood association was dormant before the project was first proposed in 2016.

he place was an architect’s dream. Greg Jackson, an architect by trade, and his family were living in Belmont four years ago when they stumbled upon the abandoned house on Little High Street in the Martha Jefferson neighborhood. As they walked carefully through the house, rain dripping down from the ceiling, Jackson saw the home’s potential. He studied the area—including zoning regulations—and was certain he’d found the perfect place for his family. That’s why Jackson and other neighborhood residents have been so vocal about a 126-unit development of one- and twobedroom apartments, called East Jefferson Place, to be built on 1.46 acres on 10th, 11th and East Jefferson streets. The developers, Jefferson Medical Building Limited Partnership, went before City Council in July 2017 asking for a special-use permit to build a project at four times the allowed density (21 units per acre allowed; the project calls for 87 units per acre) for the area’s B-1 zoning.

Mending fences A new 10th & Page development aims to address residents’ concerns
I
ts central location near downtown, the university and nearby amenties has attracted a younger, whiter crowd to the historically African-American 10th & Page neighborhood. “Oh, lord,” says Vezena Howard, president of the neighborhood association. “It’s not like it used to be.” The 59-year-old, who still lives in her childhood home, has witnessed the way 10th & Page has evolved over the years— how older residents have passed away, and their families have sold their houses instead of repairing them and passing them on to the next generation, how new homes have been built that longtime residents can’t afford and how newer folks have put up fences in a neighborhood that used to be without barriers. “There’s been a lot of changes and a lot of new people in the neighborhood,” she says. “Back then, everybody would speak to
everybody and everybody knew everybody, but now you see faces and you’re like, ‘Who is that?’” On the fourth Wednesday of every month, you can find Howard heading up a neighborhood association meeting at the City Of Promise office. But she might soon have a new place to talk shop. Dairy Central—a Stony Point Design Build adaptive reuse of the historic, mixeduse Monticello Dairy building on Grady Avenue—is set for reconstruction in four phases, with the first potentially offering an office space for Howard’s monthly meetings. The second phase is the most controversial within the neighborhood, and comprises a number of fancy schmancy residential apartments. In a neighborhood with a history of new developments displacing its residents, the 10th & Page folks want to make sure at least a couple of them are affordable.
“If someone in the neighborhood was going to sell their house and move into one, would they be able to afford it?” asks Howard. But she and other residents have echoed their appreciation for Stony Point President Chris Henry, who has attended neighborhood meetings, recorded resident concerns and continues to look for solutions to their worries. “It’s been really beneficial for the project to hear from the folks who will be closest to it,” says Henry. Though Howard and other residents say they were first skeptical of the project in a neighborhood where gentrification is already running its course, she says the majority of feedback is now positive, and Stony Point has committed to building 20 affordable housing units—four times the city’s requirement of five. The project could also offer construction jobs for residents and an affordable daycare option, as well as a community room, she
says. And so far, it hasn’t affected the character of 10th & Page. “In some of these areas, they’re just building up and building up and it’s not like a neighborhood anymore,” she says. “Right now, we’re still a quiet neighborhood.” James Bryant, another nearly lifelong resident who points out new residents’ tendency to fence in their properties, says he doesn’t think the neighborhood’s change in racial makeup is an issue. “I don’t consider it to be problematic,” says the 64-year-old, so long as all the older residents, specifically retirees like himself on fixed incomes, don’t get priced out. “This is happening all over the city, it’s not just 10th & Page. People are free to move wherever they want.” But on the right street at the right time, 10th & Page feels just like it used to. Says Howard, “The [older residents] that are here still know each other. It just feels like home.”—SB

The Neighborhood Issue Locust Grove
looked into cohousing, hoping to join a community that was being planned in Charlottesville. Since it was years away from completion, they set out to make their new neighborhood feel more like cohousing—a close-knit community—which Mellen says was fostered by twice-yearly potlucks, block parties and other social gatherings. She calls the neighborhood “pleasant, with lots of amenities and down-to-earth people.” Mellen says the current neighborhood association leaders are focused on bringing together the large neighborhood (about 1,500 households) around ongoing issues such as traffic and land use for new developments. But she maintains that activities like caroling at Christmastime are just as important as speaking up at City Council. “How are you going to fight the issues if you don’t have people liking each other?” she asks.—JL
Garnett Mellen led her neighborhood to lobby for improvements to the streets and nearby Rivanna Trail.
facebook.com/cville.weekly
Garnett Mellen knows where the sidewalk ends–or, at least, she used to. Several years ago, Mellen, a two-term past president of the Locust Grove Neighborhood Association, snapped a photo of her husband and daughter on their walk to Burnley-Moran Elementary School on a day when they pointed to where the sidewalk abruptly ended. And that sparked one of Mellen’s main initiatives as association president two decades ago: walkability. The neighborhood successfully lobbied for 10 pieces of broken sidewalk to be replaced, along with installing steps down to the Rivanna Trail at AutoZone. Over the years, neighbors have participated in trail-maintenance days on the Rivanna Trail as a community-building activity. Mellen and her husband, Dave Hirschman, moved into the Locust Grove neighborhood about 25 years ago from a home they were renting in Woolen Mills. They had

A Virginia Tech alum built it to look down on the University of Virginia. It once belonged to Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) and its view of Charlottesville was the inspiration for Hooville (’Hooville, more like). It’s a replica of Monticello. There are plenty of misconceptions about the Lewis Mountain House, the Colonial Revival home from which the Lewis Mountain neighborhood gets its name, but its real story is much less fantastic: The granite home was designed by famed architect Eugene Bradbury in 1909 for a Union Army officer, then later sold to a family by the name of
Campbell (not the soup) in 1950 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Certainly the misconceptions about the Lewis Mountain house have a lot to do with its location; it’s up a gravel road that winds the mountain two and a half times before reaching the top, while still visible from the university. This has caused no small amount of confusion—is it Monticello?—for students and tourists. But real residents know the truth: It’s just another Charlottesville estate. ...Or is it?—CW

The Neighborhood Issue Ridge Street
United front
As development encroaches, efforts to save Hartman’s Mill, an early industrial flour mill that utilized Moore’s Creek, have ramped up thanks to local activists and historians, including Pete Armetta. In 2016, the efforts paid off, and a placard, trail and preserved area were acknowledged, but saving the park ultimately remains up in the air. “With some organization and focus is an exciting and meaningful neighborhood initiative waiting to happen,” says Armetta.—NJ
COURTESY FILMMAKERS
West Main Street, a 1995 film about the history and impact of the thoroughfare, features Ridge Street residents and neighbors (like former Barrett Early Learning Center director Cindy Stratton, pictured in a still from the film).
STEPHEN BARLING
Preservation is the key word on Ridge Street. Of the old, the present and the future. Though smaller than nearby Fifeville and Belmont, the Ridge Street neighborhood has some of the most eclectic, disparaging and interesting histories of Charlottesville along its streets. The Fifth Street and Ridge corridors, leading up to Elliott Avenue, frame the southern neighborhood with homes for some of the wealthiest in the area. Though many of the historic properties have since been lost to development projects, original deeds to a handful of the homes indicate they are as old as the late 1800s, with a few bearing a foundation of brick imported from France. In the early 1900s, streets surrounded by Ridge were home to most of the city’s black families through segregation. The city’s white families lived north of the railroad, especially around the Vinegar Hill area. With limited housing and property rights for black families, a
growing disparity between the wealthy white families and statistically poorer black families grew wider. Current neighborhood association president Ann Hohenberger speaks to the issues the residents are facing today, many as a result of the discriminatory restrictions of the past. “The conditions of public housing is discouraging and often disgusting,” she says. “There is mold, laundry or other electronics often don’t function, walls are thin, windows broken,” she says. “There is an incredible need to update and overhaul these areas and really assist the residents recovering from decades of needing public support, but not getting it.” Public initiatives and charities have focused on affordable housing in the city, due to recent outcry at City Council meetings. Cville Gives, a philanthropic networking group, saw several charities pitch affordable housing options and efforts during a fundraising event in April. Charitable response reflects the community’s growing awareness and effort to support its various housing needs. That’s what’s at the heart of the Ridge Street neighborhood, it seems—the ability to unite behind a cause. Take, for instance, Virginia’s oldest childcare facility, the Barrett Early Learning Center, which was almost shuttered a few years ago. “The community rallied together to keep it open,” says Hohenberger. And now the neighborhood is focusing on saving another aspect of its heritage.
Too much change spells trouble for Rose Hill

In the Jim Crow era, the city’s only park available for black families was Booker T. Washington Park, built on a former dump on land donated by Paul Goodloe McIntire, of Lee and Jackson parks fame. And when white Southerners wanted to show that separate but equal wasn’t so bad, they built schools like Jackson P. Burley High School, whose 1956 Burley Bears football team was undefeated. During the 1950s and ’60s, the neighborhood was redlined, says Carpenter, making it difficult for the black doctors, nurses and teachers who lived on streets like Charlton Avenue to get mortgages. She also notes that there was a hotel on Albemarle Street where Duke Ellington stayed when there weren’t any other options for black travelers.
“There’s a lot of intense history here that mirrors the conversations we’re hearing today on redlining and segregation,” she says. “If I’m moving into a historic black neighborhood, it’s important to know and respect where I’m moving into. Raymond is absolutely right.” Rose Hill’s proximity to downtown, UVA and the bypass make it “the best location in the city,” says Mason. However, it’s that choice location—and lower housing costs—that make it so appealing to the white people Mason feels are invading his turf. “White people are very disrespectful when they come into my neighborhood,” he says. Like many neighborhoods, development is an issue, and Carpenter worries about “development that’s not strategic.”
In 2016, many in Rose Hill objected to a three-story structure on Booker Street that developer Richard Spurzem wanted to make into three apartments. City Council denied his rezoning request on a street with smaller, single-family residences, and today the building sits empty and boarded up. “It’s our mini version of the Dewberry,” says Carpenter. She urges the city to come up with a master plan “before we have high rises on Harris Street or Rose Hill Drive.” For Carpenter, too, it’s still the best neighborhood in town because of its “community, history and potential.” “To me, it represents what a city neighborhood should be,” she says, with amenities like a pharmacy, hardware store and grocery nearby—”the things that make for a rich life in an urban setting.”—LP

ifelong resident Raymond Mason calls Rose Hill the best neighborhood in the city, except for one thing: all the white people moving in. “In my circle, the word ‘diversity’ is code for invasion,” says Mason. “The price of homes becomes unaffordable when white people move in.” Nancy Carpenter is head of the Rose Hill Neighborhood Association and has lived there for three years. She laughs when told about Mason’s assessment, and says she agrees. “I know I’m part of the problem,” she says. Carpenter has taken the trouble to learn about the neighborhood’s rich history. In 2016, the historic African-American neighborhood celebrated its 100th anniversary of being annexed by the city.

Arguably united Woolen Mills’ historic designation still a dividing line for some residents
K
nown in the past as The Place, Woolen Mills is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charlottesville. It includes homes that ring parks and longtime roads, a riverside trail flanked by wild lawns and trees and a pleasant hillside where people sleep eternally. The older mill neighborhood gave way to more light industrial spaces as well as nearby wastewater treatment and composting. Over time, some residents gathered to preserve the charm of their original neighborhood, where a progressive mill owner, Henry Clay Marchant, built parks and housing for workers. By 2007, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources chose Woolen Mills as the place to conduct a survey needed to begin the nomination process for a historic district designation.
Frazee says that the historic designation is still actively discussed in the neighborhood, which he characterizes as “scrappy.” To date, Frazee says he hasn’t heard that the designation has affected anyone negatively. “It is a protection focused on new construction,” he says. “It is a question of scaling.” “There was a lot of annoyance and chatter by some in the neighborhood when the scale of a house being built on Chesapeake became clearly larger than some may have expected,” says resident Lem Oppenheimer. “It was in a spot that was not covered by the HCD guidelines, and to some it seemed to show the problems with the scattershot nature of what got included (in the designated area) and what didn’t,” a few houses apart. He says he kind of likes the house, “though I’m not living in the shadow of it.”
Since the distinction, granted last September, the neighborhood is healing somewhat from a rift over the designation. Some community members wanted to preserve rights to alter or build on their property without added architectural review, while some wanted to have a recourse to review building and renovation plans in the historic sector. People here are most concerned with two things, says John Frazee, Woolen Mills Neighborhood Association chair: for one, personal property rights (“A number of people in the neighborhood talk about balancing their personal property rights with the overall need to preserve the neighborhood,” Frazee says). And second, a desire to see the neighborhood grow in a way that makes sense for residents, in terms of housing, renovation and any redevelopment that may take place.
Oppenheimer, who opposed the designation, says he has “never seen the neighborhood more angry or divided.” There’s a movement to recall the current WMNA board by some, he and Frazee note. Many have ideas for today’s Woolen Mills. Bill Emory, who supported the historic designation and retired from the neighborhood association in late 2016 during a time of contentious interactions, is for conserving not only historic architecture but also the environs. He says waterways and roadways are public spaces of little regard. He would like a “street tree plan.” One plan underway, a collaboration between developer Brian Roy and neighborhood residents, is the old mill factory along the Rivanna, approved to become residential and office-use property. Oppenheimer also has an idea: sidewalks. —MJG

Those 28 acres along Meadow Creek in the Greenbrier neighborhood are just as intended: Nature for nature’s sake. “I love the general wildness of the park,” says neighborhood resident Ladi Carr. In addition to its walking and hiking paths, the park, which was deeded to the city in 1965, also offers a charming footbridge, sycamore groves, a meadow and a natural marsh believed to be one of only two in the Virginia Piedmont region. And while there are no play structures, Carr says there are plenty of ways for children to take advantage of the area. “The creek is a great feature,” she says. “Kids can play there during the hot days, send little boats down, explore...” It’s the simple things.

The Neighborhood Issue Fifeville
The only constant is change Two years ago, a Fifeville neighborhood survey showed residents want businesses that build community and convenience, Wood says. “For example, they wanted walkable grocery stores and laundromats, and housing that is more affordable.” Cherry Avenue’s Community Think Tank and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission are working to achieve the residents’ wishes. By June, the Small Area Plan project will complete its report on zoning for new businesses. By October, there should be a community presentation, with a city presentation to follow in December 2018, of the draft small area plan. By 2019, the final plan should be adopted and the TJPDC will begin to monitor its implementation. Wood explains that, to address more immediate concerns, the neighborhood may try food trucks to sell prepared food or fruits and vegetables in an area devoid of grocers. A dilapidated house at 808 Cherry Ave. may soon become a convenience store with six residential units above it. There is talk of a new walking path linking the Prospect and Orangedale sectors with Tonsler Park. Says Wood, “We are going to keep trying new things and learn what really works for residents.”—MJG
EZE AMOS
In 1822, one of Thomas Jefferson’s builders constructed Oak Lawn, the manor home at Cherry Avenue and Ninth Street, and smaller homes of workers eventually began to pop up around it. The combination of historic, newly built or renovated Reconstruction-era homes with modern townhouses clustered on a square are changing the Fifeville neighborhood’s look from modest to moneyed. And residents are becoming increasingly concerned about the repercussions of so much development. Carmelita Wood, president of the Fifeville Neighborhood Association, and others called for a formal Cherry Avenue Small Area Plan as part of the city’s Comprehensive Plan Update, which identified several areas where planning and design issues or investment opportunities “may warrant additional study.” The Cherry Avenue plan, approved in summer 2016, arose in part because of neighborhood commuter traffic and speed issues, says Wood. Other reasons included a proposed large development (currently under construction), the potential for more development along Cherry Avenue and a document outlining a vision for the neighborhood.

cludes International Rescue Committee families, she adds. Erin Hannegan, vice president of the Belmont Carlton Neighborhood Association, says, “I feel like it’s racially diverse, but maybe not as much as other parts of Charlottesville.” The association did a survey last year, and found that 44 percent of the residents who responded live alone, 36 percent were in two-person homes and 20 percent were families with children. She also thinks Belmont’s demographics might skew younger than other neighborhoods, and she sees that on the neighborhood board. Development is a perennial neighborhood issue, and Belmont has some major projects, like Coran Capshaw’s Belmont Apartments (see p.15) and the Belmont Bridge, on the horizon. But according to the survey, “Walkability was number one,” says Hannegan.
Traffic is another concern, and “it’s getting worse,” she says. “People like to walk and bike, and at some places, traffic makes it hard to do that.” The best thing about living in Belmont, besides its proximity to downtown, says Hannegan, is “knowing my neighbor.” The scale of lots there promotes close neighborly interactions, she says. Hannegan also likes “the fact we have a pocket of amenities”—businesses and restaurants, small corner stores and small parks throughout the neighborhood. The housing styles are eclectic, she says, with a number of historic structures in

north Belmont, along with contemporary housing and the workforce housing that was built in the 1940s. Belmont’s popularity has made the cost of houses “out of sight,” says Schatzman. “My property taxes skyrocketed.” That could be why the neighborhood has so many AirBnBs. “I was shocked at how many there are,” she says. “My street has four that I know of. It’s a really good way to earn some money out of your house.” The neighborhood includes Carlton, and at a total of 406 acres, Hannegan says it may be the biggest in the city. It also has what’s likely the biggest party: the Belmont Bash. The neighborhood association re-established the Belmont Park party a few years ago. “Last year attendance was in the thousands,” says Hannegan. “It got great reviews and had something for everyone.”—LP

oan Schatzman bought her first house in Belmont 42 years ago, before it became the expensive, desirable neighborhood it is today. The biggest change she’s seen: “It went from white separatist working-class families,” she says, to being integrated. “No black would dare walk in Belmont in 1978.” After all, it was a Belmont shed where the Ku Klux Klan robes now housed in the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society were discovered. Schatzman bought four houses on Douglas Avenue before the cost to live there spiraled, “because the children of old white people didn’t want to live in crappy Belmont in 1992,” she says. “Now I’m seeing tons and tons of young families riding bikes up the street or strolling,” she says.

Venable’s balance between tony Rugby Road homes and coed housing makes the neighborhood a dynamic one, especially as more students become involved in the neighborhood association.
Co-housing
Venable strikes a balance between teachers and students
T
he Venable neighborhood—made up of high slopes, historical landmarks and an abundance of pedestrian culture—is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charlottesville. Highly venerated by the University of Virginia community, it’s a favorite among students, professors and historians in the region. “University Circle has some of the most diverse and oldest homes in the city,” says former neighborhood association leader Erica Van Brimer Goldfarb. “It is believed to be the original designation for professors and administration, deans, authors at UVA to live in,” she says. “It is rumored that Wayside Place, one of the highest points in Charlottesville, was to be the original designation for the Rotunda,” says another former neighborhood association leader, Bobbie Bruner. “But, nothing could be higher than Monticello, hence the ultimate choice for its location,” says Goldfarb. Other historic sites in Venable include Beta Bridge, the stone gates at Grady Avenue, Georgia O’Keeffe’s former home, the Prism and Lambeth Colonnade.
Today, soaring living costs and rental culture threatens the preservation of the neighborhood. In order to combat the increase in commercial construction, current neighborhood association leader Rachel Lloyd has worked for the last several years to label several sections of Venable as “historic,” limiting the development allowances. For now, that’s staved off businesses and corporate plazas, but resulted in landlords renting out bedrooms in historic properties or crowding skinny high-rises with apartments. The proximity to Grounds and hot spots such as the Corner continue to make Venable a viable housing location for students, who are among the highest percentage of renters in the area. “High turnover and the amount of students inside some of the homes wears out the architecture and foundation much faster than a long-term residential family would,” says Goldfarb. “Preserving history through these homes has been a concern.” She and Bruner believe a lot of the architecture, much of which was designed by
Eugene Bradbury, is in need of maintenance and professional upkeep, which becomes limited with tenant and landlord contracts constantly rolling, such as the fraternity and sorority “rows” that line streets deep in Venable. “A decade ago, there was a push to involve the university and students to be part of the neighborhood association and join us for discussions,” says Goldfarb. It was a tug of war, but recently, those involved in Greek culture have taken strides toward participating. “Many are now self-policing, and help in taking care of the homes, and start neighborhood initiatives,” says Bruner. Both believe these open dialogues with long-term residents and the students have helped make Venable “one of the safest places in Charlottesville,” says Bruner. Yet, with UVA’s ever-increasing admission costs comes an increase in students seeking housing—and an increase in traffic. Public transportation is limited, especially through Rugby, compared to other main streets in the city. “Bike lanes start to vanish, buses are infrequent and traffic along the Corner and
Rugby Road is turning into a problem,” says Goldfarb. Construction along Barracks and Emmet has contributed to the congestion. “There are also infrastructure issues with the sidewalks, especially along Grady, Gordon and Rugby,” says Bruner. One recent victory was the saving of Lambeth Colonnade and field by a group of students that did not want the women’s athletic teams to be housed there—they used a Title IX argument to win the case against the city. “The students argued the women should be allowed to live in and practice at or near the same facilities as the male teams, not be separated from the rest of athletic culture, as they would have been at Lambeth,” says Goldfarb. The win allows the historic field to remain, though development nearby, at the Cavalier Inn and the former Excel Inn, will take place over the coming years. “We have such a diverse neighborhood, of architecture and residents. We are active in the community to keep it as open to all as possible, and preserve it for more to come,” says Bruner.—NJ

If there’s an official welcome wagon in the Rugby Hills neighborhood, then Diane McDougall is in the driver’s seat. When she lived in rental houses, no one ever stopped by to say hello, so when she bought her house on a quiet street in 1998, she made it a point to start meeting her neighbors—especially when a new face appeared on the block. And she doesn’t show up empty-handed: She brings either a batch of cookies, Scottish shortbread (a family recipe) or a loaf of homemade bread. One neighbor was so surprised to see her standing on her porch, cookies in hand, she remarked, “It’s just like in the movies!” McDougall’s goal is to not only make new people feel welcome but connect people living side-by-side; to foster relationships in which neighbors can borrow flour or curry powder, or watch each other’s homes when they’re away. She includes her contact information with each greeting (her email list is 50 strong), and has hosted a summer block party since 1999. “I just think we have great people, and I bet you that’s the case in every neighborhood, but if you don’t get to know each other, you don’t know it,” she says.—JL

Home of the Cardinals as 82. The team has always been co-recreational, with two women currently on the squad. Year-round practices on the Starr Hill court keep this community-based program in contention for those national tournaments. But this year’s berth in Louisville’s NWBA mid-April tournament was not the Cardinals’ only public appearance: Frequent outreach programs to local scouting groups and school gymnasiums bring the sport to young people. With exhibition games this spring as far away as Maryland, the Cardinals took their show on the road to share
their passion. One player even travels weekly to Richmond to coach. “We welcome people to come to our games,” said Vandever. “Maybe look in on a practice at Carver to appreciate the skills and dedication that go into making the Cardinals such an exciting team. Or come support us in our big tournament, the first week in December.”
Although nationally ranked wheelchair basketball is just one of the many athletic opportunities that find their home at the Jefferson School and Carver Recreation centers, the team has won the hearts of its hardcore fans. Says Vandever, “When you go away, you’ll remember the athletes, and not the chairs.” —BB

BEYOND THE GRAIL
SINGING HER TRUTH
Billed as a “musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” Spamalot parodies the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table using British humor of the highest (Ex)caliber. The original Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols, debuted in 2005 and collected three Tonys, including Best Musical. Monty Python member John Cleese describes the staging as “the silliest thing I’ve ever seen.” And in the hands of Fay E. Cunningham directing the Albemarle High School Players, it’s sure to be outrageous fun. $10-35, times vary. Albemarle High School, 2775 Hydraulic Rd. ahsplayers.weebly.com.
Hailed as an up-and-coming country star, Margo Price has succeeded in telling her story through vivid songwriting and compelling performances. From the loss of her family’s farm, to selling her car and pawning her wedding ring to buy studio time, Price’s journey is authentically crafted into songs drawn from experience. Her sophomore album, All American Made, offers commentary on current politics. “I had a lot of people tell me I shouldn’t be giving my opinion, but as far as I’m concerned, there’s not a lot of doubt about the difference between right and wrong,” says Price. $25-28, 7:30pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.

Known as a band that details its personal evolution and society’s ills through the somber delivery of cryptic lyrics, The National is often pigeonholed as brooding and melancholy. But its obsessive fanbase, officially named Cherry Tree, finds optimism, hidden messages and even tattoos (of lyrics) in the euphoric undercurrent of the group’s music. Tracks on the new album, such as “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness” and “Dark Side of the Gym,” exemplify a balance between darkly serious and a hint of humor. $45-60, 7pm.

TUNES King Tuff “The Other” (Sub Pop)
Invasion of Privacy (Atlantic)
Sex & Food (Jagjaguwar)
Gil Scott-Heron, they ain’t. Amid howling political prose on the opening one-two punch, “Total Football” and “Violence,” Parquet Courts’ Andrew Savage just can’t resist slipping in “and fuck Tom Brady.” Despite natterings about dismantling institutions, these are the same old Courts. And producer Danger Mouse feels squandered, as there’s not much to distinguish Wide Awake! from the band’s past work. That’s not a pure complaint; solidly danceable rock abides, and “Mardi Gras Beads” almost makes a Pavement/Phish alloy sound like a good idea. Parquet Courts plays the 9:30 Club in D.C. on June 7.
Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation (BULK) As Dr. Octagon, Kool Keith teamed up with Dan the Automator and DJ Q-Bert to make Dr. Octagonecologyst, often viewed as the high point of Keith’s varied, decades-long career. After a couple of unapprovedby-Keith releases, Moosebumps represents the true return of Dr. Octagon, with Automator and Q-Bert in for the weird-as-hell ride. The production is resolutely old-school, but Keith’s rhymes are endlessly futuristic, or maybe just timeless—surreal, funny, clinically lewd, cracked. When Keith shouts out Ernest Borgnine, you know that Moosebumps is an imperfect but worthy sequel.

Goat Girl
facebook.com/cville.weekly
Who’s invading who? Cardi B’s debut full-length kicks down doors, spewing obscenities with menace and glee, sporting a pack of irresistible tracks from Frank Dukes and Boi-1da. It’s almost enough to say that the massive hit “Bodak Yellow” is just another track on Invasion of Privacy. But it’s a real album, shifting between nighttime parking lot vibes (“Drip,” featuring frequent collaborator Migos) and sunnier vibes (“Best Life,” featuring Chance the Rapper), closing with the SZA-assisted “I Do,” a dirty lullaby which ends with Cardi predictably on top.

Wide Awake! (Rough Trade)
I’ve never gotten too excited about Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s funky, at times proggy, indie, and I can’t say Sex & Food changes my mind, but I also can’t deny it’s something the band does well. Ruban Nielson’s brain is a fertile musical space, even if he could use a hedge trimmer. Sometimes he nails it, as on “Hunnybunny,” replete with a Steely Dan-ish guitar solo. But often, UMO gives me the feeling of listening to the composing process—most songs are impressive the way M.C. Escher drawings can be—neat tricks to conceive, execute and leave behind.
Goat Girl London quartet Goat Girl released the wonderful “Cracker Drool” single last fall, equal parts jangle, surf and angular postpunk. The band’s debut conjures that rush from time to time (on “The Man,” e.g.), but in general the fed-up indie comes as a welcome broody breeze. Proper songs alternate with brief scribbles that underscore the band’s graceful nonchalance—Goat Girl clearly cares, but doesn’t demand that we recognize it, which is part of why we should. Singer Clottie Cream brings a baleful tension on cuts like “Viper Fish” and “The Man.”

Didn’t King Tuff used to rock? Last year, an exhausted Kyle Thomas paused to recover and reflect—and he’s clearly going for some kind of contemplative statement on “The Other,” (yes, the title carries those pretentious quotes). But whether about alienation on the title track or about toxic technology on “Circuits in the Sand,” the proclamations are unfortunately borne by Thomas’ semi-shriek, and his prolix faux-Dylan balladry is often compounded by plodding tempos, as if gravitas can be achieved by cumulative effect.

TRISTAN WILLIAMS
fter band practice on a recent Monday evening, the three members of The Attachments lean back on couches in drummer Jack Richardson’s Belmont living room. As the day falls into dusk outside the window, they drink beers and bottled teas while a record spins punk music at a low volume in the background. “I came out of punk retirement to start this band with these guys,” says Sam Uriss, singer and guitarist for The Attachments. “I hadn’t played any [punk] for a long time and I felt a hankering. It’s the kind of thing where, once you’re in it you don’t really get away from it. It’s kind of like the mob.” And while The Attachments isn’t a pure punk band—it’s more 1960s garage rock and straight-up rock ‘n’ roll than anything else— punk is embedded in its backstory and ethos. Punk music is how Richardson, Uriss and bass player Tyler Abernethy met. They all grew up in the central Virginia area and played in bands together through high school. Uriss and Abernethy were in metal-edged punk and rock ‘n’ roll band Gutter Strutter, and Uriss and Richardson in the punk, garage and hardcore-tinged Slugs. As they talk about early shows played at DIY venues and the recordings sold from makeshift merch tables, The Attachments say it’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since those days, probably because they’ve never stopped playing music. “I can’t not do it,” says Richardson. “Sanity. To maintain sanity,” Abernethy says of why he plays. “It’s just what I do,” adds Uriss. “I ain’t never been good at painting.” Currently, all three members of The Attachments play guitar in other bands— Richardson in hard rock/punk four-piece Wild Rose, Abernethy in Richmond/Charlottesville punk act Fried Egg, and Uriss in country-blues outfit Clay Bones—making this band different. But they think that’s part of what makes this particular combination of musicians in this particular moment so “groovy,” to borrow Abernethy’s description. While Abernethy discovers himself as a bassist on a black 1970s devil-horned Gibson SG bass gifted to him by Uriss’ dad, Richardson is figuring out who he is as a drummer (he’s new to the instrument) and Uriss gets to write lyrics that dig a bit deeper than the songs of his youth.
An Evening with Moisés Kaufman. Moisés Kaufman, founder and director of the Tectonic Theater Project and a Guggenheim fellow in playwriting, discusses his book, Moment Work: Tectonic Theater Project’s Process of Devising Theater. Free, 6:15pm. Ruth Caplin Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. 924-3376.
The Attachments’ lead singer Sam Uriss says that most of his lyrics are “hugely influenced by advertising and mass media.” The trio plays Champion Brewing Company on Sunday.
“When I think about it, punk music is so much about writing about things that make you angry and piss you off, which gets a little trite to me,” says Uriss. “But you can put more nuance to it when you start to pick specific forces and subjects that you can really talk about why they drive you crazy.” At WTJU’s Prints, Platters and Pints event at Champion Brewing Company on Sunday, the band will play its entire catalog of originals, including “Switchboard Head,” a song from its 2017 self-titled release that Uriss says is about “the idea of being a conduit for all this programming” coming at him from newspaper, television, radio and internet channels. Something about that song inspired Abernethy, who splits music-writing duties with Uriss (the band’s singular lyricist) to write the riff and chord progression for “Spoonfed,” a four-minute track about advertising that’s something substantial to chew on, musically and lyrically. “You got what I like you know that I’ll bite and choke it right down / You know that my eyes double in size when you come around / You know that greed burns in my chest when you suggest what could be my own / So please oh please won’t you throw me a bone,” Uriss growls over reverb-drenched guitar and a restrained rhythm section full of attitude before picking up the tempo (and the urgency): “If you’re sellin’ I’m buyin’ / If I believe it ain’t lyin’ / Just show me the dotted line / Just tell me where I gotta sign.”
“Spoonfed” is “about having stuff shoved down your throat,” about taking a look around and realizing that advertising is everywhere, “a totally out-of-control and insane part of society” that we can’t avoid and that we open ourselves up to even when we’re unaware, says Uriss. “It’s so pervasive that I can’t not write songs about it.” He initially intended to call the band The Consumers, to call attention to “the idea of constantly being sold and buying stuff, consumption,” but an Atlanta-based punk band already had the name. “The Attachments, to me, has a similar vibe,” Uriss says, one of latenight TV infomercials. He notes the direct connection between the brain and the screen. “And then we have some love songs, too,” Uriss says to laughter from his bandmates. One of them is called “See You There”—and in yet another punk rock tradition, that of filling out your short sets with something that’ll energize the audience, the band covers The Nerves’ “Paper Dolls” and the garage rock classic “I Ain’t No Miracle Worker,” written by Annette Tucker and Nancie Nantz and released as a Brogues single. The Attachments are committed to keeping the energy up and listeners engaged—it’s music that’s easy to latch on to, with its catchy riffs and whiffs of well-placed attitude. “This music...has [a lot of] kinetic energy” says Uriss. “Yeah, kinetic,” agrees Abernethy. “That’s the key word.”
“When I think about it, punk music is so much about writing about things that make you angry and piss you off, which gets a little trite to me.” SAM URISS

to a community.” Teacher Sampson recounts the devastation of Vinegar Hill, where his uncle owned a business, and also reminisces about growing up in Fifeville, where he picked and sold peaches for his grandmother. Farina doesn’t want the film to be politicized for its documentation of some painful aspects of Charlottesville’s past. “In many ways I feel like our films were kind of anthropological,” he says. “Here’s a community that people drive by and walk by. Stop and think about it.” More than two decades later, Farina has digitized the film and will screen it again at Vinegar Hill Theatre on Friday. The original impetus for his desire to share it with a new audience was the commercial and residential development that has drastically changed the cityscape. “I just feel we’re racing ahead and

As Charlottesville development races ahead, the documentary West Main Street gives us a reason to pause and evaluate how we define progress. Friday’s screening will be followed by a brief Q&A with filmmakers Reid Oechslin and Chris Farina (pictured during the making of the film in the ’90s). Barber Milton Via (right) is one of the fixtures of West Main Street featured in the film.
possible to tell the story of West Main Street without talking about the destruction of the historically black neighborhood Vinegar Hill. “The beauty of it was, it wasn’t our agenda going in,” says Farina. “Our agenda was to listen to these people who had lived here for a long time who really contributed to the community.” As a result, the film documents both the shared humanity of the black and white residents and the prejudices that directly affected black residents. Ferguson, the funeral director, was the head of the local chapter of the NAACP when the public schools were desegregated, and his daughter was a member of the first integrated class. In the film, he speaks not only of his identity as a black man, but as a funeral director,

too. “We talked to him about his perspective on death and he spoke from his real sense of faith,” Farina says. Similarly, McGinness—who taught at the Jefferson School from 1915 to 1960—“one of the matriarchs of the black community,” Farina says, “talks about why she got into teaching…expressing the importance of a teacher
not looking back,” he says, adding that we’re more concerned with who’s coming than with who lives here. “Mrs. McGinness remembers when the streets were dirt and you had to close the windows ’cause of the dust,” says Farina. “So you can say that change has always been part of things. I just don’t feel like the people who live here get as much respect as the money that’s being made.” The events of August 11 and 12 gave him even more reason to digitize and share the film. He remembers the integrated audience at the premiere in 1995. Now, he says, Charlottesville is segregated. “That’s one of our problems in this town.” But the film doesn’t preach, he says. “I genuinely have a real affection for the subjects in the film,” says Farina. “If the affection I feel is shared with the audience, then it’s going to be successful and that’s kind of the real purpose.”

rom 1988 to 1992, two recent UVA graduates, Chris Farina and Reid Oechslin, set out with a camera, 16mm film, little money and no lighting equipment, to interview residents of Charlottesville’s West Main Street. They wanted to learn more about their newly adopted hometown by inquiring into the lives and histories of the people tethered to this stretch of land. Under the production company name Roadside Films they had already made one film together, Route 40, about the residents of Pulaski Highway in Baltimore, near Farina’s childhood home. Back then, UVA didn’t have filmmaking classes, so Farina and Oechslin took film criticism and fell in love with the medium. Farina says, “We were basically self-taught and [Oechslin] was the one who had the capacity to learn how to use the camera and editing table.” In West Main Street, “The people, themselves, they tell the story,” says Farina. The film—which premiered in 1995 at Vinegar Hill Theatre, where Oechslin was the manager—features Jefferson School teacher Rebecca McGinness, funeral director and civil rights activist George Ferguson, teacher Sonny Sampson, Greek immigrant and entrepreneur Pete Stratos, Barrett Early Learning Center Director Cindy Stratton and barber Milton Via, among others. At the time, “A bunch were older residents, so in a way it was capturing the 20th century through their perspectives,” says Farina. McGinness was born in 1892 and was about 98 when they interviewed her. Ferguson was born in 1911 and grew up on Main Street. And Stratos, the owner of the Chili Shoppe restaurant, “was almost the classic immigrant story,” Farina says. While their intent was to represent the everyday lives of their subjects, it was im-

T
hough Broken Lizard found mixed critical and financial results with its subsequent follow-ups to the 2001 cult hit Super Troopers, you do have to hand it to the guys for wanting to try something different before coming back around to the property that launched their film and TV careers. The underrated Club Dread was perhaps a bit too spot-on of a slasher parody to make inroads with broad audiences, Beerfest had some inspired moments but was perhaps a bit too uneven to generate the same word-of-mouth campaign as their first outing, and The Slammin’ Salmon was a fun idea for a short or sketch that had no business being a feature-length film. Now that Super Troopers 2 has arrived in theaters 17 years later, does it live up to its predecessor? That depends on your definition of “live up.” Everyone involved is certainly better at what they do, both in front of and behind the camera. The troupe has enlisted more top-shelf talent (Rob Lowe, Will Sasso) with a diverse range of comedic backgrounds for the supporting cast. The jokes can be quite clever, and the Broken Lizard crew seem more natural in their roles
as they fire them off. The only problem is that there are so many of them that you barely have time to react before five or six more come at you in rapid fire. This may not sound like a huge problem for a stoner comedy like this; after all, breezy, inspired silliness is totally par for the course. But the effect isn’t a laugh riot so much as it is a smothering of its best material. One of Super Troopers’ most enduring qualities was its instant quotability. Walking out of Super Troopers 2, you’ll no doubt remember a few moments you thought were fun, but you probably will struggle to remember how or why, and the quotable lines are even more evasive. This isn’t just a stoner comedy, the movie itself appears to be too stoned to handle itself. We meet the former Vermont state troopers as they are reunited to represent their state in newly acquired land from Canada. It seems historical markers indicating the line between Vermont and Quebec did not match the known map, leaving the troopers in charge of a population resentful of the new occupying force. Before long, a smuggling operation is uncovered, and the investigation is impeded by their rivalry with the local Mounties. Make a list of joke premises in your head and you’ve written about half the script already. Many jokes about French, “sorry,” gun con-
trol, obesity and more abound—some funny, some not, all subject to repetition. The lead performances help move things along when the material doesn’t. Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske and Jay Chandrasekhar (who also directed) have genuinely evolved as actors, so things never descend into a bunch of improv guys giggling to themselves like the first film did at its worst moments. That said, Farva (Heffernan) is much more prominent
Super Troopers 2 R, 100 minutes; Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema
in ways that are never fully welcome. The movie begins with a dream sequence starring Sean William Scott and Damon Wayans Jr. Scott is referred to as “Stifler,” and what the American Pie series did with that character—put him front and center for everything, whether he belonged there or not—is an unfortunately apt comparison to Super Troopers 2 and Farva. In any case, it’s fine—you’ll laugh, just not as much as you should to make this long-delayed sequel worthwhile.

Day 3 Burger from Riverside Lunch
Pretzel from Kardinal Hall
Cemita de pollo from Al Carbon Former C-VILLE Weekly food writer Shea Gibbs crammed as much eating as he could into three days.
With a final day to graze, I got in line at MarieBette Café & Bakery. That meant canelés and espresso beverages while waiting for a table, followed by a croque madame and Afternoon Jørgensen, yogurt, granola, eggs and bacon. Euro-style bliss. We braved the cold for a City Market stroll mid-morning, grabbing a Mountain Culture ginger kombucha and C-ville Candy Company chocolates. While the crew rested, I zipped up 29 for an overstuffed chicken cemita from Al Carbon—less overstuffed than I recalled but still one of the best sandwiches in town. Our final official stop was Brasserie Saison, which offered the security of a reservation and peace of mind of a high chair. With saisons and milks in hand, we shared mussels, steak frites, a burger and the country pâté. A gluttonous 72 hours for sure—we also had time for coffee at Mudhouse and Snowing in Space, nights out at Beer Run and Common House, smearing that Bluegrass pimento cheese on a MarieBette baguette and an Ol’ Dirty Biscuit at Ace Biscuit & Barbecue on the way out of town—but it was worth every calorie.

To avoid weekend crowds, we headed to Bluegrass Grill & Bakery for a Friday breakfast. The Hungry Norman—blackberry jam, goat cheese, sausage links and eggs on English muffin—delivered as always, and we couldn’t skip a side of Bluegrass’ incomparable corned beef hash. We grabbed to-go pimento cheese on the way out in case we got hungry. Then it was off to Blue Mountain Brewery on a beautiful, if windy, day for lunch. We shared a cheese plate, highlighted by the cranberry goat cheese, and nachos with Nitro Chili, and sipped summery brews (Kölsch 151 and Rockfish Wheat) despite the calendar. Blue Mountain has upped its outdoor game since I’d last been, with new hardscaping and more room to move. The kids ran their sillies out while we capped the meal with a Sour Geist. Sugar had been established as snack food, and that brought us to Splendora’s Gelato Cafe once back in town. A luxurious, creamy offering with Caromont Farm’s Esmontonian goat cheese and chocolate flakes highlighted the visit.
We needed a no-fuss dinner after a long day, and takeout pizzas from Lampo seemed an ideal fit. But the place was packed and didn’t offer take-away. Up the road, Junction accommodated. While waiting for enchiladas, pork belly, Mexican street corn, chips and guac, hanger steak and quesadillas, I grabbed Three Notch’d Brewery’s blackberry gose from Belmont Market across the way. The salty/sour brew drank like margaritas from a can as we dug into smoked pork with mango-chipotle glaze and a classic pairing of beef and chimichurri.

There’s only one breakfast joint for your first meal in C’ville: Bodo’s. But there are two orders. One: bacon, lettuce, tomato and jalapeño lime cream cheese on everything. The sweet/spicy cheese transforms the traditional BLT, and I’m not the only person who thinks so—it’s a favorite order for a lot of local food folks. Two: olive cream cheese, watercress and sprouts on everything. This used to be my go-to weekday order, with whole wheat everything subbed in to make me feel better. But if you have only two bagels before returning to a Bodo’s-free existence, you go for it. After a walk across UVA Grounds, the family and I were hungry enough to eat, but not ready for lunch. Maybe a healthy snack to refuel? Nah, White Spot for a grillswith. The kids were happy with donuts caramelized on the flat top, but in my opinion the ice cream actually cuts the sweetness.

I
had 72 hours to take in everything Charlottesville had to offer culinarily. I was screwed. More than 450 restaurants can be found on C-VILLE Weekly’s restaurant listings, and many others are unlisted, which puts this hamlet in the top-15 most eatery-dense in the nation. Even armed with more than five years’ experience as a local food writer (including for C-VILLE Weekly), my task was monumental. I hadn’t eaten a meal here in almost three years since moving out of town; a lot had changed. The strategy for my long weekend back? Old favorites for breakfast and lunch, new spots for dinner, and a mix for snacks, coffee fuel-ups and booze binges.

There’s no better way to follow a plate of refined sugar and flour than with burgers. We skipped the Gus and wheeled over to Riverside. For me? Double cheeseburger with everything, basket of fries (seasoned salt to taste tableside), nap. Our first newish spot was Kardinal Hall for dinner. Friends said it was kid-friendly with games and space. They nailed it. The food and beer was solid as well—asparagus salad, kasekrainer and hot Italian sausages, garlic fries and a pretzel, washed down with a Basic City/Beer Run Waxing Parrotic IPA. This would launch a three-day love affair with Waynesboro brewery Basic City.

efore Joyce Ivory was president of the Charlottesville chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, she was a girl growing up in the Fifth and Dice (Fifeville) neighborhood. A Charlottesville High School track team member, cellist and a singer in the choir, Ivory looked up to a group of young women a few years older than she. Denise Johnson, current program director of City of Promise, who grew up in Charlottesville’s Westhaven neighborhood and graduated from CHS in 1998, was among that group. Ivory, who graduated from CHS in 2002, says that Johnson and her cohort “showed us what excellence was” in a number of ways—on the track, in the classroom and in church pews—and, especially, by talking to everyone they met. After leaving for college and spending a few years living and working in bigger cities (Ivory in South Carolina and Washington, D.C., Johnson in Richmond), both women have returned home to lead local organizations. As part of the Center for Nonprofit Excellence’s Paradigm Shifters series, they sat down to discuss leadership—which both women view as an act of service—in the Charlottesville community. C-VILLE: What makes an effective leader? Joyce Ivory: They’re forward-thinking, approachable, transformative. Leaders have to be able to pull themselves back for a second and ask, “Is this about me, or is this about our mission? Is it even bigger than that? What am I doing this for?” Transformative is a big one, though—I want to help people realize their passion and potential in life, help them find the resources to help them stand on their own two feet. Denise Johnson: You have to be willing to build other leaders, to say, “I see these great things in you, this is where you can lead.” And when someone says to you, “I am strong here,” allow them to lead in that way. You can’t be a one-person show.
Joyce Ivory, president of the Charlottesville chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women
seeds to say [to the kids in the Westhaven, 10th and Page and Starr Hill neighborhoods], “You are just as valuable as any other person in this community. You may not have the same resources, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be just as successful. And we will stand in the gap between, so that when you choose to be successful, we’ll be here to show you what you need.” We work to remove every obstacle that could stand in their way. However, some people assume that, just because someone grows up poor that they are in some way lazy, or lacking in love, and it’s part of my quest to make sure that people know that being impoverished does not mean lacking in love or community or family. These are some of the strongest people I’ve ever met, and a lot of what I’ve learned, even with all the academic degrees that I have, the foundation started in Westhaven.
JI: Our group came together because a lot of black women, on all socioeconomic levels, What are the issues you feel invisible in our commuaim to address through nity—women who are floatleadership in your ing that poverty line all the organization? way up to women who have DJ: Westhaven is the oldest and doctorates—we all felt somelargest [public] housing developwhat alone, that there wasn’t ment in Charlottesville; that a lot of community. And so means that most of its residents we have this coalition of womlive at or near the poverty level, en going out to support one under-resourced from a financial another as a community of perspective. And a lack of financblack women. We’re looking es often means a lack of exposure to attack different issues from to other things, to different lifea political standpoint—talking styles that are available.

in schools; disparities between children of color being incarcerated, having to go to adult facilities and thus lacking an opportunity for education. We work with the Boys & Girls Clubs, the PB&J Fund…we have a mammogram mobile. ...I advocate for mental health and self-care, too, because as much as it’s awesome for our ladies to be out there with superhero capes on, we need to empower ourselves and feed one another. We are trying to be that village in this community for black women. Both of your organizations have a mission focused on young people and the community around them. Why is that? JI: You’ve got to look at the whole person— the young person, their parents, their household. We have to dive into the mindset of everyone involved, so that [young] person can continue to cultivate on what you’re putting into the community, at home. DJ: You have to plant those seeds; [young] minds are very fertile ground. Because they will be the group that’s charged with breaking certain barriers for all of us, we have to build them up in such a way that they are able to sustain that and fight that fight. Growing up, there were certain seeds that were planted in me that didn’t blossom until much later. But they were planted, they were in and they were ready [when the time came]. We have to make sure that these young people are always a garden. To read more of their conversation, go to c-ville.com.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
By Rob Brezsny
Gemini (May 21-June 20): The coming weeks might be an interesting time to resurrect a frustrated dream you abandoned in a wasteland, rescue and restore a moldering treasure you stopped taking care of a while back or revive a faltering commitment you’ve been ignoring for reasons that aren’t very high-minded. Is there a secret joy you’ve been denying yourself without good cause? Renew your relationship with it. Is there a rough prize you received before you were ready to make smart use of it? Maybe you’re finally ready. Are you brave enough to dismantle a bad habit that hampers your self-mastery? I suspect you are.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Hollywood film industry relies heavily on recycled ideas. In 2014, for example, only one of the 10 top-grossing movies—Interstellar—was not a sequel, remake, reboot or episode in a franchise. In the coming weeks and months, Cancerian, you’ll generate maximum health and wisdom for yourself by being more like Interstellar than like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction, X-Men: Days of Future Past and the six other top-10 rehashes of 2014. Be original!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Long ago, in the land we now call Italy, humans regarded Mars as the divine protector of fields. He was the fertility god who ripened the food crops. Farmers said prayers to him before planting seeds, asking for his blessings. But as the Roman Empire arose, and warriors began to outnumber farmers, the deity who once served as a kind benefactor evolved into a militant champion, even a fierce and belligerent conqueror. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I encourage you to evolve in the opposite direction. Now is an excellent time to transmute aggressiveness and combativeness into fecundity and tenderness.
Virgo
Taurus (April 20-May 20): “The Simpsons” is the longest-running American TV sitcom and animated series. But it had a rough start. In the fall of 1989, when producers staged a private pre-release screening of the first episode, they realized the animation was mediocre. They worked hard to redo it, replacing 70 percent of the original content. After that slow start, the process got easier and the results got better. When the program completes its 30th season in 2019, it will have aired 669 episodes. I don’t know if your own burgeoning project will ultimately have as enduring a presence, Taurus, but I’m pretty sure that, like “The Simpsons,” it will eventually become better than it is in the early going. Stick with it. and your decision-making is especially adroit. More luck than usual is flowing in your vicinity, and you have an enhanced knack for capitalizing on it. In my estimation, therefore, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to build up your hunger for vivid adventures and bring your fantasies at least one step closer to becoming concrete realities. Whisper the following to yourself as you drop off to sleep each night: “I will allow myself to think bigger and bolder than usual.”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The bad news is that 60 percent of Nevada’s Lake Mead has dried up. The good news—at least for historians, tourists, and hikers—is that the Old West town of St. Thomas has re-emerged. It had sunk beneath the water in 1936, when the government built the dam that created the lake. But as the lake has shrunk in recent years, old buildings and roads have reappeared. I foresee a comparable resurfacing in your life, Libra: the return of a lost resource or vanished possibility or departed influence.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope the next seven weeks will be a time of renaissance for your most engaging alliances. The astrological omens suggest they can be. Would you like to take advantage of this cosmic invitation? If so, try the following strategies. 1. Arrange for you and each of your close companions to relive the time when you first met. Recall and revitalize the dispensation that originally brought you together. 2. Talk about the influences you’ve had on each other and the ways your relationship has evolved. 3. Fantasize about the inspirations and help you’d like to offer each other in the future. 4. Brainstorm about the benefits your connection has provided and will provide for the rest of the world.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now is one of the rare times when you should be alert for the potential downsides of blessings that usually sustain you. Even the best things in life could require adjustments. Even your most enlightened attitudes and mature beliefs may have pockets of ignorance. So don’t be a prisoner of your own success or a slave of good habits. Your ability to adjust and make corrections will be key to the most interesting kind of progress you can achieve in the coming weeks.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author Simone de Beauvoir was a French feminist and activist. In her book A Transatlantic Love Affair, she made a surprising confession: Thanks to the assistance of a new lover, Nelson Algren, she finally had her first orgasm at age 39. Better late than never, right? I suspect that you, too, are currently a good candidate to be transported to a higher octave of pleasure. Even if you’re an old pro at sexual climax, there may be a new level of bliss awaiting you in some other way. Ask for it! Seek it out! Solicit it!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Can you afford to hire someone to do your busy work for a while? If so, do it. If not, see if you can avoid the busy work for a while. In my astrological opinion, you need to deepen and refine your skills at lounging around and doing nothing. The cosmic omens strongly and loudly and energetically suggest that you should be soft and quiet and placid. It’s time for you to recharge your psychospiritual batteries as you dream up new approaches to making love, making money and making sweet nonsense. Please say a
demure “no, thanks” to the strident demands of the status quo, my dear. Trust the stars in your own eyes.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): I believe it’s a favorable time for you to add a new mentor to your entourage. If you don’t have a mentor, go exploring until you find one. In the next five weeks, you might even consider mustering a host of fresh teachers, guides, trainers, coaches and initiators. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re primed to learn twice as much and twice as fast about every subject that will be important for you during the next two years. Your future educational needs require your full attention.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Imagine you’re one of four porcupines caught in frigid weather. To keep warm, you all have the urge to huddle together and pool your body heat. But whenever you try to get close, you prick each other with your quills. The only solution to that problem is to move away from each other, even though it means you can’t quell your chill as well. This scenario was used by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud as a parable for the human dilemma. We want to be intimate with each other, Freud said, but we hurt each other when we try. The oft-chosen solution is to be partially intimate: not as close as we would like to be, but only as much as we can bear. Now everything I just said, Aries, is a preface for better news: In the coming weeks, neither your own quills nor those of the people you care about will be as sharp or as long as usual.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You sometimes get superstitious when life is going well. You worry about growing overconfident. You’re afraid that if you enjoy yourself too much, you will anger the gods and jinx your good fortune. Is any of that noise clouding your mood these days? I hope not; it shouldn’t be. The truth, as I see it, is that your intuition is extra-strong

The residents not only decry the project’s size—10 feet above the maximum allowed height of 45 feet with five stories on 10th Street and four stories built on a berm on 11th Street, along with a parking structure underneath—bu t the city’s development approval process. In October 2016, the City Planning Commission recommended denial of the specialuse permit for the residential project, then proposed at four stories. The developers appealed, and the project, which was redesigned to add an extra fifth story, went before City Council on July 5, 2017—three days before the KKK rally and the day after the Fourth of July. Kate Bennis, president of the Little High Neighborhood Association, says she felt the timing of the hearing was less than ideal because many neighbors were out of town. In terms of neighborhood importance, Bennis points to the fact that the neighborhood association was dormant before the project was first proposed in 2016.

he place was an architect’s dream. Greg Jackson, an architect by trade, and his family were living in Belmont four years ago when they stumbled upon the abandoned house on Little High Street in the Martha Jefferson neighborhood. As they walked carefully through the house, rain dripping down from the ceiling, Jackson saw the home’s potential. He studied the area—including zoning regulations—and was certain he’d found the perfect place for his family. That’s why Jackson and other neighborhood residents have been so vocal about a 126-unit development of oneand twobedroom apartments, called East Jefferson Place, to be built on 1.46 acres on 10th, 11th and East Jefferson streets. The developers, Jefferson Medical Building Limited Partnership, went before City Council in July 2017 asking for a special-use permit to build a project at four times the allowed density (21 units per acre allowed; the project calls for 87 units per acre) for the area’s B-1 zoning.
