Callis, Town Creek
minimal
In Slabtown, with our mother. No traffic, no noise, no people, no TV, no restaurants, no super bowl. Have dog, books, some food, heat. Wondering what she thinks of a place so quiet, being a city girl. This slab purchased in 1886 for $24.88 by James Masdon, subdivided out of the Millenbeck Farm. In the Woolen Mills a similar sized lot, purchased same year, cost $400.

The purpose of the R-MHP district is to establish areas of the city deemed suitable for manufactured homes, and to ensure a safe and healthy residential environment consistent with existing land use and density patterns.–Charlottesville Code
(9-15-03(3))
Looking at the zoning map, I am not sure where these MHP districts are located?

There is no land in Charlottesville “zoned” for mobile homes. Too bad, they have positive aspects.
birthday dog
Sophia’s 11th birthday yesterday. Walked a new neighborhood. Barked. Skillfully manipulated humans. With a cursory glance, people think she is a young dog. Closer study tells another story. She has lipomas all over, an issue shared by many old Labradors. She tires physically before her enthusiasm runs out. She has grey fur on her feet and muzzle. She has a measure of pain.
