Chuck

CWTIII January 1
CWTIII used to bring a taste of Suffolk Virginia to the Woolen Mills January first. He’d make the obligatory Hoppin’ John, not my favorite. But then there were oysters and ham biscuits, delicious. Chuck was my neighbor for 34 years. All good years. Miss him everyday.

Shore birds are inured to motorized watercraft, but display a degree of alarm if the boat is quiet. Eek! A kayak. This balloon snuck up on me this morning then fired the propane burner. Eek.

Bike Ped Bridge survey

The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission is working to submit a bike-ped bridge proposal to VDOT later this year. The TJPDC is considering two potential bridge locations. One bridge would land at the end of Chesapeake Street, one would land at the end of Market Street.

They are interested in public input, so please consider taking the survey

It is a short survey, only takes a few minutes.

The Piedmont Environmental Council has assembled an excellent group of photos and maps + information about the proposal here.
