We were at an AirBnB in a residential part of Asheville. In a 3 block radius there were 3 restaurants, including a coffee shop. And covered bus stops with nice benches. It can be done @cvillecityhall.bsky.social

If you want to know how schools have become the hub for so access to so many services, come hang out on conference day. My coworkers helped families get access to rent relief, clothes, diapers, food, and counseling services today. AND did conferences for over 300 students.

The city renamed the elem school Tall Oaks then promptly cut down 3or 4- one esp majestic one.This week they’re decimating trees in Forest Hills park-may have to rename that. It feels like lawyers making these decisions not arborists @cvillecityhall.bsky.social

Very happy to see this new addition to our cityscape — a free little food pantry.* It's outside First Baptist Church on West Main. Charlottesville friends, please help me fill it up for our many neighbors who are in need.

Stopped at a traffic light watching a college kid ( I’m guessing) park his Veo scooter blocking the sidewalk. Suggested to him that he shouldn’t do that - he agreeably moved it. It baffles me- is it just not obvious that pedestrians/wheelchairs/etc cannot pass??
