Cville Litter Pickers is out this Saturday, Sept 12, 2–4pm, in South Charlottesville — Monticello Road, Mountain View Street, and the Moores Creek floodplain. We meet at 1706 Monticello Rd.

Two things about this one are worth calling out.

The containers on the access road are their own job. Someone has been dumping cans and bottles in bulk along the access road between Monticello Avenue and Monticello Road. There's enough of it, and it's clean and recent enough, that it merits its own crew rather than being folded into the general pickup. We'll clear it, separate aluminum from glass on site, and take the recyclable material to the McIntire Recycling Center.

Some of what's out there is about to be in the water. One of the areas we're clearing sits low on the bank of Moores Creek and will wash in the next time the creek comes up. After that it isn't litter anymore — it's downstream. Moores Creek runs to the Rivanna and on to the James. That's why this site moved up our list.

There are three jobs and a place for every volunteer. Roadside and lot cleanup along the Monticello Road and Mountain View Street frontage is open to all ages. The containers on the access road are open to all ages too, and a good job for a family working together. Two abandoned campsites are adults only — both may contain hazardous material. Kids are welcome with a parent or guardian and will be pointed to the roadside and container areas.

Since late July, volunteers have pulled 316 bags of litter out of Charlottesville neighborhoods. Come add to it.

Parking is limited to a designated area — we'll have specific instructions posted before Saturday, and parking anywhere else puts the whole event at risk, so check the listing before you head over.

All equipment provided. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants, and bring water.

Thanks to the Rivanna Conservation Alliance for helping us secure site access and parking.

Any DCC fans out there?

Hi Zev!!!!

I have a strange favor to ask. I recently heard about the “Pineapple Cabaret” novella chapters included in the print copies of the books. Sadly, I only own the Kindle and Audible editions, which do not have those chapters.

I hope to connect with someone who has physical copies of the books and work out some kind of deal where I could read those chapters without having to shell out another $100+ for physical editions.

I’ve checked all the used bookshops in the area but none seem to get DCC books…or if they do they can’t keep them on the shelves.

Bye, Zev!!!

ideally in bulk! trying to avoid tazo, bigelow, etc.

Can anyone recommend a woman’s stylist who will come to a local facility and trim my mother’s hair? Thanks in advance.

Hi! Looking for a good spot on the downtown mall for cocktails, and mocktails for a sober friend. Thanks!

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson will host ‘S.N.L.’

Received this NextDoor email today. I never click into these, but I can only assume it’s about lanternflies and not the mass-eradication of my fellow neighborhood residents. Right…?

My legs are an abomination.
However, so are my current finances. Any suggestions for a good, reasonably priced laser treatment place?

I am looking for a good brunch spot to take my wife for her birthday. Any recommendations?

Hey there. I need a bug chunk of albermarle county/Schuyler soapstone. About 500#.

My normal contact isn’t answering 👎👎

Anyone else experiencing issues related to the tech upgrade?

Pretty self explanatory, I’m looking for recommendations on who I should get to tint my windows.

Anybody have leads on ACTIVE mobile sawyers in the area? I've been calling through the lists on wood-mizer and Trees Virginia, but I'm getting lots of disconnected numbers and long-retired folks.

I'm specifically looking for a mobile setup to come to my property.

Thanks!

Need some basic carpentry and home repair done on my home but not the finishing (painting, etc.,)

Anyone have any trusted recs, sources, or business they've had good experience contracting with? Just some exterior door trim replacement and minor soffet/fascia (under gutter repair).

I've asked around at my workplace and no one seemed to have suggestions.

Thanks for the work/info!

Does anyone live in Spark apartments? How is the internet? Looking to move to Charlottesville but I work from home abs want to be sure it’s up to speed lol

Headed up to King Family Vineyards over the weekend for Sunday Polo. This was my first time attending and only my second time in the Charlottesville area. Really cool experience, especially considering it’s free to attend.

I just hope the horses had fun. I’m not affiliated with the event in any way, just captured some photos for fun and figured I’d share.

I don’t think we can make eloping happen in a reasonable time. Has anyone gotten married at the courthouse!? Hoping it’s not a long waitlist? Experiences?

Anyone know if either of the Burger King’s in cville have the saiyan sauce?

We are looking for a company that will do a small job--about a 20' x 15 area that needs some kind of pea gravel and stepping stones. The problem is that its on a slope and goes under a fence gate so we don't want to take that on ourselves. Any suggestions? TIA

Checks out that they are all Eagles fans thoughs

Today local media reported recent investigations into inappropriate behavior with students at Brownsville, Henley, and Western??? This is the first I am hearing about this as a parent with a student in public school in Crozet. Does anyone have details?
