THIS WEEK

My family eats ribs on Thanksgiving. We have turkey too, most of the time, but the main event is the ribs, which everyone likes more than turkey anyway. The tradition began maybe a decade ago, when my aunt, a professional caterer, arrived in town for the holiday and wisely declared that ribs would make the whole endeavor more fun. She was right, and it stuck. Anything can be a tradition if you do it a couple of times in a row.

This holiday season will taste even better than usual, I think. Last year, the family I usually see didn’t gather, fearful of the winter surge of the then-9-month-old pandemic. But after widespread vaccination, we’ll all be back together again this time around.

Let’s lean in to this season’s trite little exercise: What are you thankful for this year? I’m thankful that I live in a community full of engaged citizens (p. 13) and great food (p. 17). I’m thankful for the safety of my friends and family. And I’m thankful for ribs.—Ben Hitchcock

Progressive candidate joins Albemarle prosecutor’s office

Huge gift to LAJC The Legal Aid Justice Center, a criminal justice reform advocacy organization based in Charlottesville, received a whopping, unrestricted gift of $10 million from local mega-donor Sonjia Smith last week. Angela Ciolfi, LAJC’s executive director, says she’s already begun meeting with community organizations from across the commonwealth, and that LAJC plans to expand its operations into new areas of the state.

The gift will allow the LAJC to work more closely with existing networks in Charlottesville, Richmond, Falls Church, and Petersburg, and to expand in Hampton Roads and other parts of Virginia, the organization says. “I trust Angela and her team to be the deeply passionate advocates I’ve known them to be, and I trust them to use this gift to go where communities tell them to go and do what communities tell them they need,” said Smith.

The state’s redistricting process will now be steered by the Virginia Supreme Court.

US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

UVA saw a 17 percent increase in early decision applications and a seven percent increase in early action applications from 2020 to 2021. The school eliminated its binding early decision option in 2006, in an effort to even the playing field for low-income students, but reinstated the option in 2019. This year, the school received 3,442 early decision applications and 31,152 early action applications. There was an increase in early applicants across all demographics, except for the Native American applicant pool, which had 28 applicants in this year’s and last year’s cycles. First-generation applications increased by 29 percent, and legacy applications went up by 2 percent.

Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Charlottesville government officials resigning. The latest city employee to move on to greener pastures is communications director Brian Wheeler, who held the job for three years. Wheeler says he and his family plan to leave the Charlottesville area.

everend Seth Wispelwey was not physically injured at the August 12, 2017, Unite the Right rally, but during his testimony in the Sines v. Kessler trial last week, he said he was “wounded badly that summer.”

The third week of the trial, in which a group of plaintiffs are seeking to prove the organizers of Unite the Right conspired to commit racially motivated violence, saw further testimony from defendants and expert witnesses.

Wispelwey, who grew up in Charlottesville, was an ordained minister with the United Church of Christ. In 2017, he co-founded Congregate, a group of local clergy whose purpose was to “show up in loving support for our community for what we understood would be a violent event,” he testified.

On August 11, Congregate held a prayer meeting at St. Paul’s Episcopal. 700 people showed up, but were evacuated when news reached the church that white nationalists were marching at UVA. The next morning, Wispelwey was among counterprotesters in Emancipation Park when Unite the Righters arrived. “I heard yelling and ‘kill the faggot priests,’” said Wispelwey, adding that he was pushed and tripped into the bushes.

He remembers seeing a young Black woman writhing on the ground, two smashed cars, glass and blood, and bodies on the road. “I didn’t know what had happened,” he said. “It was awful.”

Wispelwey said he was diagnosed with PTSD, has night terrors, panic attacks, and has been unable to work full-time or go out socially as he once did. “I used to be an extrovert,” he said. “I don’t even know what I am anymore.”

Defendants Richard Spencer and Chris Cantwell, both defending themselves, question Wispelwey about his faith.

Said Wispelwey, “I don’t subscribe to the belief that, just because someone calls himself a Christian, that we share the same beliefs.”

The next day, the plaintiffs called expert witness Pete Simi to the stand. Simi is a sociology professor at Chapman University who has studied hate crimes, hate groups, and domestic terrorism since 1996.

City Council approves Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

C

The mustard-colored areas in the Future Land Use Map (above) are designated medium-intensity residential, meaning this is where the city might be able to support increased density.

Concern from some citizens and councilors over the inclusion medium-intensity residential wasn’t enough to delay the passage of the Comprehensive Plan.

“Most people who work at Bodo’s commute 45 minutes to an hour to work there. I would like to continue to commute by bicycle, and I think this plan would help.”

MIRANDA ELLIOTT RADER, BODO’S EMPLOYEE

to undo the legacies of segregation that are still built in to the city’s streets.

Matthew Gillikin, an organizer with prodensity housing group Livable Cville, spoke in favor of the plan. He noted the wide variety of organizations that signed on to a letter of support from Livable Cville, including a dozen religious congregations, Charlottesville DSA, and the UVA Student Council.

Miranda Elliot Rader, an employee at Bodo’s, also was in favor of the plan. “Most of my co-workers live outside of Albemarle County. Most people who work at Bodo’s commute 45 minutes to an hour to work there,” she said. “I would like to continue to commute by bicycle, and I think this plan would help.”

Carmelita Wood, president of the Fifeville Neighborhood Association, spoke in support of the plan, arguing that it would help fight the long history of segregation in the city. “It addresses so many of the problems we have in the city, past and present,” Wood said.

(Some commenters didn’t make pointed remarks either way. One began by saying, “I

am speaking for all species that are sharing Charlottesville, and also cannot find shelter here,” such as “birds, bugs, bees, butterflies,” and more. Another said he “would like to speak on behalf of the humble sidewalk,” and asked for better sidewalks all around.)

After three hours of public comment— and after 11pm—City Council members got a chance to talk over what they’d heard.

Councilors Heather Hill and Lloyd Snook both expressed reservations about the placement of medium-intensity residential lots, and suggested pulling those sections out of the map, with the intention of adding increased density in certain areas later during the zoning rewrite.

Councilor Michael Payne suggested a better course of action would be to move forward with the map as is. “We’re more likely to retain medium-intensity residential in some capacity if we keep it in there, and through the zoning rewrite process chisel it down,” he said.

Payne repeatedly pointed out that the zoning rewrite process is going to take more than a year, and will involve more specific market analyses and data. “This is not the final word by any means,” he said.

Eventually, the council unanimously voted to approve the Comprehensive Plan.

Longtime affordable housing resident Joy Johnson spoke at the very end of the public comment period. “We’ve really been working hard on this since 2017,” she said. “I urge all of the supporters on this call tonight to keep your eyes on it. The real work is in the implementation.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

ity Council voted unanimously on Monday night to approve a new Comprehensive Plan. The plan, which has been in the works since 2017, will guide Charlottesville’s growth and development in the years to come. The most controversial element of the plan is the Future Land Use Map, which shows the neighborhoods in the city that might be able to support increased development.

The map’s path to this point has been long and controversial, with some community members advocating for even greater increased housing density across the city, and others arguing the map’s changes go too far.

The last year has seen multiple rounds of amendments to the map, coalitions of residents formed to advocate their positions, letter-writing campaigns and the circulation of petitions, and even a full-page advertisement in The Daily Progress, taken out by a group hoping to delay the process.

At Monday night’s public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan, 71 community members addressed council, with 41 speakers expressing their support for the immediate adoption of the plan.

The hearing began with a presentation from Jennifer Koch and Ron Sessoms, planners at Rhodeside & Harwell, the consulting firm retained to oversee the process.

In his presentation, Sessoms addressed what would become the evening’s central point of contention: The map designates some lots that are currently zoned for only single-family homes as “medium-intensity residential,” allowing up to 12 units to be constructed. Sessoms emphasized the “up to” in the “up to 12 units” designation, saying that those areas “support a variety of housing types and scales.” The adoption of the Land Use Map will give way to a lot-by-lot zoning rewrite, which will set more specific, binding rules for what can be built where.

That didn’t stop some public commenters from expressing their concerns with the designation. Early in the evening, caller Tracy Carlson ran through a skit of sorts, in which a theoretical homebuyer and realtor have a conversation about the possibility of a 12-unit building being built on the street. (Later, another commenter called the skit “ludicrous.”)

Charlotte Meadows opposed the plan because she felt it was “increasing density just for the sake of increasing density.” David Aller said he was against the plan because the vacant lot next to his house, which he currently uses as a tomato garden, is designated medium-intensity residential, meaning the next owner of the lot might be able to build apartments there.

Those who supported the map cited the need to make the city less car dependent and more environmentally friendly, and the need

After looking at thousands of texts, videos, and emails, and 575,000 posts on Discord with a colleague, he concluded, “The defendants relied on the core characteristics of the white supremacist movement when they organized Unite the Right.”

He then listed those characteristics: racist ideologies, the glorification and use of violence, the separation of public and private speech, and strategies to create plausible deniability for their actions.

“They believe violence is a necessary course of action, self-defense to prevent extinction,” said Simi.

James Fields, who drove his Dodge Challenger into a crowd, tweeted a meme that said, “Love your race, stop white genocide.”

The subtext, said Simi, is that “stopping white genocide requires violence.”

Cantwell asked Simi if critical race theory influenced his work.

“We’re not going down the road of critical race theory,” instructed Judge Norman K. Moon, who expressed his exasperation with the defendants’ courtroom behavior multiple times over the course of the week.

On Monday, Jason Kessler took the stand.

Kessler, who grew up in Fluvanna and graduated from UVA in 2009, was among the rally’s chief organizers.

Attorney Karen Dunn introduced multiple exhibits in which Kessler promoted Unite the Right as a violent event.

“I would go to the ends of the earth to secure a future for my people,” he said in a May 20, 2017, Discord post. “This is war.”

And he texted Spencer: “We’re raising an army my liege. For free speech and the cracking of skulls if it comes to it.”

Kessler took aim at other co-defendants. He called Spencer a “narcissist and sociopath” and said Robert “Azzmador” Ray, who currently is on the lam for blowing off document production and court orders, was a “scumbag” and “a very bad person” that he didn’t want at the event, although video from August 12 showed Kessler and Ray acting very buddy-buddy.

After Fields plowed into counterprotesters on August 12, Kessler sent a text to Cantwell inviting him to a meeting that would be limited to “leaders and essential people only” to get their story out.

“I remember we were very panicked and shocked by it,” said Kessler.

He messaged Elliott Kline three times that they needed to shut down the Discord server, where many attendees made plans to go to the rally.

“People were saying highly inappropriate things,” said Kessler. “Specifically, people were mocking Heather Heyer. That was my concern. I didn’t want Discord to be a platform for these trolls.”

However, that wasn’t what he said in 2017, when he tweeted on August 18 that Heyer “was a fat disgusting communist,” and on August 24, “I 100 percent believe Heather Heyer was to blame for participating in an armed mob blocking traffic during a state of emergency.”

The plaintiffs have presented their last witness, and it’s now the defense’s turn to present its case.

Firing back

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

T

Former Charlottesville police chief RaShall Brackney is threatening a lawsuit against the city.

“My professional reputation has been diminished, harmed, devalued by this city.”

FORMER CPD CHIEF RASHALL BRACKNEY

@cville_weekly facebook.com/cville.weekly

confront and arrest individuals for blocking streets, shutting down traffic, or other violations of a special events permit.”

“My reward for doing what’s right? Slander.

My reward? Defamation. My reward? Retaliation, harassment, humiliation. My reward for challenging the system of supremacy? Termination,” said Brackney at the press conference.

During a City Council meeting following Brackney’s termination, Boyles, who said he’d held discussions with police officers, city leaders, Wells, and other parties, claimed that key departmental leaders planned to quit their jobs due to their lack of trust in the chief. He pointed to the results of two anonymous surveys of officers—one conducted by the department last year, the other conducted by the Police Benevolent Association in August—which led him to believe the department would only descend into “further chaos” under Brackney’s leadership.

Tucker emphasized that the PBA survey was commissioned in July, shortly after Brackney had disbanded the SWAT team and disciplined multiple officers for misconduct. It remains unclear who the survey was sent to. “The timing of it is suspect, where it came from is suspect, the way it was used is very suspect,” he said.

Brackney pointed out that Boyles himself admitted he had no faith in the survey, and called it “unscientific.”

In explaining his rationale for the firing, Boyles claimed that he had consulted various department employees and area public safety experts. Brackney’s team submitted Freedom of Information Act requests for records of those meetings, and was told that no records matched the request. “Not one shred of documented evidence exists that these ‘interviews’ were conducted,” she writes.

“You slandered me. You libeled me. You literally diminished me. And then now you’ve been torturing me for the past two months,” said Brackney of Boyles.

According to Tucker, Brackney still works at the department, and will be on the payroll until the end of the month. However, she has lost access to all CPD spaces and systems, and must make an appointment to enter the department and be escorted around by a subordinate officer.

“They have curtailed the information that she’s receiving on a day-to-day basis, and have basically stripped her of her responsibilities for the most part, and have her shadow a captain,” he explained during the press conference.

The city has until November 26 to respond to Brackney. If it does not reach a settlement agreement with her, the former chief will take her case to federal court. In her complaint to the NAACP, she also urged the organization to file a class-action suit against the city for its “pattern” of discrimination.

After all this, Brackney remains open to staying at CPD, if the city’s new management offers her the job back.

“My attorney and I will not take anything off the table,” said Brackney. “The city’s got the next move.”

November 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

wo months after her controversial firing, former Charlottesville police chief RaShall Brackney has filed formal complaints against the city, and is threatening to bring a lawsuit.

In complaints submitted to CPD’s human resources department, the local Office of Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the NAACP, Brackney—the city’s first Black woman police chief—says her firing was direct retaliation against her efforts to dismantle white supremacy within the department. Since Brackney’s firing by then-city manager Chip Boyles (who has since resigned) on September 1, she also claims that city leadership has defamed, harassed, and discriminated against her based on her race and sex.

Brackney is demanding $3 million and a public apology.

The city is allowed to fire Brackney without cause. However, Brackney claims that after she was dismissed, public comments from the city manager and other leaders insinuated that she was fired with cause.

That, her legal team argues, constitutes a wrongful termination.

“For the actions I took, for the attempt to dismantle racism, misogyny, nepotism, and police violence, I was deemed, quote, ‘not a good fit’ for this city,” said Brackney at a downtown press conference last week. “My professional reputation has been diminished, harmed, devalued by this city.”

City spokesman Brian Wheeler, who also announced his resignation this month, said the city has “no comment at this time” on Brackney’s complaints.

During the press conference, attorney Charles Tucker of The Cochran Firm walked through the events leading up to Brackney’s firing, beginning with her receipt of an email and video from a “concerned citizen” on June 6.

“What the video uncovered was that several officers using a city phone were engaged in police misconduct,” said Tucker. “[Brackney] put those who were responsible under investigation.”

According to a city statement released in August, the investigation revealed that SWAT team officers filmed their children setting off explosives, circulated pornographic videos and racist jokes on department cell phones, threatened to kill department leaders, and fired semi-automatic weapons at unauthorized events. Brackney fired one officer, and dissolved the SWAT team. Two more officers resigned.

As early as August 2, Tucker said that Boyles began holding secret meetings with city leaders to discuss terminating the chief.

In her complaint to the Office of Human Rights, Brackney accuses Boyles, City At-

torney Lisa Robertson, City Councilors Heather Hill and Lloyd Snook, Vice-Mayor Sena Magill, Police Civilian Review Board Chair Bellamy Brown, Police Benevolent Association President Mike Wells, Major James Mooney (who has also since retired), and Captain Tito Durrette of colluding to get her fired, in response to her disciplining “white male officers for criminal and departmental misconduct.”

Tucker claimed he and Brackney have records of emails with evidence of the meetings, but did not plan to release them publicly at this time.

Brackney declined an interview with CVILLE for this story, but did provide written responses to our questions.

Before her termination, Brackney writes that she had an “open, transparent, and professional relationship” with Boyles, and that he gave her “no indication” he believed the department needed a leadership change.

Citing community backlash against Brackney’s termination—along with Mayor Nikuyah Walker’s pushback—Boyles resigned as city manager in October. He has taken a new job as executive director of the George Washington Regional Commission in Fredericksburg.

“The city’s response to my actions… [sends] a message that proclaims throughout CPD and City Hall that the good ol’ boys system of patronage and insularity are alive and well in Charlottesville,” said Brackney during the press conference.

In addition to disbanding the SWAT team, removing school resource officers from city schools, and ending CPD’s relationship with the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force, Brackney said she held officers accountable for severe misconduct, including police brutality, domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. She also claimed the SWAT team has been secretly reassembling since her termination, and will be fully funded in the FY23 CPD budget.

The former chief also accused the city of rewarding people who support systemic racism. Brackney said Durrette, a former SWAT team commander, was on a “performance improvement plan” before he was promoted to assistant police chief, following Mooney’s retirement last month. Durrette is leading the department until a new permanent chief is hired.

During her three-year tenure as chief, Brackney writes that some officers “openly embraced and supported reform.” But some of her initiatives were met with concerted pushback. In particular, she required officers to participate in implicit and explicit bias training, which was unpopular. She also required them to file Response to Resistance reports for every use-of-force incident in the field. Officers also disagreed with Brackney’s response to last year’s protests against police violence, and believed CPD “should

Squash sourcing with Whisper Hill Farm’s Holly Hammond

By Chris Martin

ith serious supply shortages and shipping delays slowing everything down, holiday cooking staples from bacon to flour to peppercorns and more have suddenly become hard to come by. But fear not—the humble squash is here to save the day. More than just funky fall porch decor, the squash is an often-overlooked veggie with many varieties that can be found locally in abundance in both summer and winter.

Scottsville’s Whisper Hill Farm cultivates a wide variety of vegetables, and is a great place to find different types of squash. Co-owner Holly Hammond grew up on an 80-acre “u-pick’’ vegetable farm in Arizona, before working at Waterpenny Farm in Sperryville. She started Whisper Hill in 2010, using USDA organic methods with a focus on sustainable practices.

“We grow so much squash in volume, we seek production that complements our crop rotation,” says Hammond.

“We grow butternut, delicata, gray kabocha, orange kabocha, and spaghetti squash.”

Farmers start their squash seeds at the end of May and transplant them in June. “The insects are the worst,” says Hammond. Squash bugs and cucumber beetles are quick to fly down and multiply, and Hammond suggests would-be squash-growers use row cover, a breathable cloth that creates a greenhouse-like environment, even if it’s not pretty.

Whisper Hill covers its squash for about three weeks, and it’s a key to the plants’ ability to thrive. “Keeping the cover on really helps the plants get big, strong, and able to withstand bugs,” says Hammond. “Uncover the squash when it starts blooming because it needs to be pollinated to produce.”

The oldest documentation of squash stems can be traced back 10,000 years to Mexico. The word is attributed to the Narragansett Indian tribe, who tell a story about a crow bringing a gift of seeds in its beak. Indigenous Americans taught English settlers about the curing of squash, a longstanding practice that is optional and varies by farm.

Holly Hammond (right) is selling her Whisper Hill Farm squash and other veggies at the IX farmers’ market on Saturdays through the end of November.

“There’s certain squash that don’t need to be cured,” says Hammond, noting that delicata and acorn squash are good examples “because they’re not storage squash.”

Curing refers to storing hardy winter vegetables in ideal conditions, resulting in small amounts of dehydration, flavor concentration, and the formation of thicker skin.

“We’ll cure our sweet potatoes at 80 degrees and 30 percent humidity,” says Hammond, adding that she prefers them a little less cured. “When you cure them they essentially get sweeter as they age,” she says. “I notice that butternut gets considerably sweeter…for baked goods it’s delicious.” If

you’re going the savory route, look for uncured squash, which has a crisper flavor that will complement saltier foods.

With the winter crops, Hammond says the easy part is the harvest. “Unlike summer squash, which you harvest daily, winter squash you harvest all at once.” Whisper Hill Farm spends about a week harvesting over 10,000 pounds of winter squash, a hefty workload that includes cleaning the vegetables off with rags, hauling them from the garden over multiple trips, and putting them into squash or watermelon bins. From there, the veggie is sent to farmers’ markets, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Acorn squash Typically green on the outside, there’s also a white variety that can be found in the area. Quarter it and slice it with the skin on into half-inch-thick pieces, start it in a sautée pan with a high-heattolerant oil, and flavor with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.

Delicata squash Typically yellow with green stripes in its indents, it has a chewy peel, which can be eaten or removed. With hints of corn and molasses, it’s a great substitute for pumpkin in savories and roasts well.

Butternut squash Notable for its pale skin and orange flesh, this squash also comes in a smaller version called honeynut squash. It makes an excellent roasted veggie, and is a go-to for soup that can be topped with fried sage leaves, toasted nuts or seeds, or a swirl of creme fraiche.

t’s well known that our founding fathers brewed beer, distilled whiskey, and, in the case of Thomas Jefferson, worked diligently to make wine in Virginia. But cider, too has been in production since the Colonial era—both Washington and Jefferson also grew apples and brewed cider. The industrial revolution saw a decline in the cider industry, but these days the beverage is experiencing a resurgence in the state.

Traditional cider comes from apples specifically selected for cider making, because they are not necessarily “good eating.” Cider apples can taste sour from high acidity or bitter from high tannin content. Just like in winemaking, these components provide structure, mouthfeel, texture, and complexity of flavor, and make cider a beautiful pairing with food.

Patrick Collins of Patois Cider explains that “cider isn’t monolithic,” and therefore there’s “lots of versatility with potential pairings based on varietal, terroir, cellar techniques,” and so on. He says that many ciders are “delicate and nuanced” and may get lost with heavy sauces. He suggests pairing them with “strong singular flavors like soft-ripened cheese.”

One example is Arkansas Black from Albemarle CiderWorks. It has delicate flavors of green apples and melons, refreshing acidity, and a bit of tannic structure that brings a slight minerality. In addition to pairing well with a soft triple-cream cheese, it works well with oysters, shellfish, or truffled pasta and dishes with a lighter white sauce.

Potter’s Craft Cider’s Pelure goes in a very different direction, intentionally keeping juice in contact with the skins for an extended period of time and aging in oak for 10 months, much like a red wine. The resulting tannic structure is balanced by acidity and a light bubbly effervescence that lifts what otherwise might be a very heavy and structured cider. This cider is not for everyone, it can accurately be described as “funky” or “meaty,” and it can be paired with heavier food. Try it with roast chicken, salami, sausages on the grill, or venison stew.

Patois Cider’s Bricolage is a sparkling cider made in the traditional method (the same method as Champagne) and produced entirely from foraged fruit. The bubbles and fruit aromas might give the initial impression of a light and whimsical cider, but you’ll find complex and deep flavors that bring to mind flowers, dried apricot, tart plums, and wet stone. It begs to be paired with food and is versatile enough to drink through your whole meal. A classic cider pairing with roast pork works exceedingly well, but also try it with fried chicken, roasted whole fish, and smoked mushroom tacos.

Sweet cycle

Beehives in winter are still buzzing with activity

By Carrie Meslar

EZE AMOS

A

jar of honey seems like a simple thing. One ingredient, most often drizzled or spooned out in those hazy first hours of the day. Yet, to bring that honey to the table is an involved year-long process that offers little rest for those who decide to take up the challenge.

For Ryan Williamson of Sourwood Farm, beekeeping is a family affair.

With both his father and father-in-law having raised bees, the hobby, in partnership with his wife, has grown into an all-hands-on-deck business that includes even the youngest members of the Williamson clan.

As winter approaches, things slow down for area beekeepers, but they certainly don’t stop.

From the outside, an apiary appears quiet, but there is important activity taking place within the hive. It’s a common misconception that bees hibernate, when in fact they cluster together around the queen, shivering and moving their wings to generate heat.

Outer bees rotate inwards, so the cluster is in constant motion. This process takes quite a bit of energy, and requires the bees to feed on the stores of honey in their hives. Beekeepers often supplement this honey, or in off years, completely rely on the feeding of sugar to the bees to keep them alive.

Williamson notes that it is important that this feeding process ends in late winter, ensuring that when spring comes, and bees venture out to start collecting pollen, the chambers of the hive that will be pulled for honey are free from added sweeteners.

The Williamsons’ wildflower honey can be found at various local retailers, including J.M. Stock Provisions, and on tap at Sourwood Farm by appointment.

ith the holidays fast approaching, bakeries are sifting through 50-pound bags of flour faster than you can open a can of cranberry sauce, and pie is cooling around every corner. Local pie maker and young entrepreneur Megan Adams is facing down another holiday baking season.

Adams sells sumptuous apple hand pies, mini pies, and eight-inch pies through Basan, the Korean food truck. She makes everything from scratch, and even in a locally crowded pie market, Adams’ work stands out.

Her arrangement with Basan is new, but she says baking has been part of her life since she was a child, recalling fond memories of baking as a toddler with her mother. It was while working for Camille Phillips at Greenhouse Coffee in Crozet, that Adams’ passion caught fire. “Everything came back to me,” she says. “What I had been wanting to learn more of as a child.”

She attended a local culinary program through the Jefferson School and PVCC. “I loved baking, garde manger, soups, stocks, and sauces, things that were culinary focused,” she says. Adams

honed her skills working brunch shifts at L’etoile, picking up catering gigs, baking at Goodwin Creek Farm & Bakery in Afton, and learning from Angelo Vangelopoulos at The Ivy Inn, all while baking at Greenhouse Coffee.

A few months ago, she was baking for fun, and wanted to make pie and pass along the technique to her partner’s daughter. “If you look at her tiny hands and how much intention she put behind it, and what I interpret as love, it brought me back to the love of baking,” says Adams. That led to the Basan gig, where she slings noodles and bakes, reconnecting with what cooking is all about for her.

With years of making hand pies under her belt, she sources her apples from Henley’s Orchard in Crozet, and has developed a solid knowledge of the volume needed to fulfill Charlottesville’s pie demands.

“I found that if I’m going to bake them, freezing them solid allows the crust on the bottom and top to bake evenly,” Adams says. “I put a little vent in them to let the steam escape.”

What’s next on her list? “Bourbon pecan,” she says. “I want to find what’s going to be best, and I definitely want to use a local bourbon.”

n the depths of the pandemic lockdown, independent and smallscale farmers suffered deeply as outlets for their goods scaled back or shut down entirely. There were reports of thousands of pounds of unsold produce rotting in fields while grocery store shelves remained empty, and tanks of perfectly drinkable milk being dumped down the drain.

Amidst the uncertainty, Local Food Hub, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to fresh, locally grown food, created a drive-through farmers market to safely reconnect growers to the community.

“During COVID, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that most of our vendors were dependent on the drive-through market to just be able to survive as a business. This market is living proof of the power of local food systems.”

For the winter season, LFH will be open only one day a week. However, there will be a special one-off Everything But The Bird market on Wednesday, November 24, to give shoppers an opportunity to buy farm-fresh goods for their Thanksgiving dinner.

Local Food Hub celebrates its successful pivot with a Thanksgiving market

JOHN ROBINSON

In central Virginia, beekeepers keep a close eye on the weather, hoping for a winter that isn’t too windy, and a spring that doesn’t come too early or with buckets of rain. The nectar flow begins in late spring, and the production of honey requires bees to have access to forage from plants, beginning with the blooming of various tree blossoms and dandelions, through the arrival of the golden rod in late summer. Most beekeepers can begin to pull honey in late May, and, depending on the conditions and the location of the hives, some are able to pull a fall harvest without compromising the health of the hive.

Williamson has advice for those considering the fragile practice of beekeeping: “It’s a huge educational experience, it can be incredibly rewarding but also emotionally devastating,” he says. “Before beekeeping, try to spend time with a beekeeper and connect with members of the beekeeping community.”

When the cold sets in and you dip into a jar of perfect honey for your hot tea or cereal, take a moment to consider how this busy process allows us to share a sweet summer day, all year long.

Granular on granola

UVA prof and family geek out and eat out to compile diner data

By Shea Gibbs

EZE AMOS

B

Some families debate over home fries or hash browns.

Brian Nosek and his daughters combined a love of breakfast and research into a rating system based on taste, presentation, menu, ambiance, and service.

seemed to matter to his intrepid research crew.

Presentation and ambiance are modestly correlated with what the Noseks spent, but taste, menu, and service are only slightly related.

Donuts, for example, did well because of their affordability. “They’re delicious deathtraps and great value,” Nosek says. Duck Donuts drops in at third behind Thunderbird and Croby’s on the top-10 best value list.

Indeed, the research study sample on the whole is relatively low cost, Nosek says. Across all 50 restaurants, the Munchateers spent $9.91 per person on average, and that was for a hungry group trying multiple things. All in the interest of science, of course.

“I have a love of science and methodology, and I wanted to share some of that with [my daughters],” Nosek says. “The big debate is how much do we want to add new places to the list versus looking at test-retest reliability. I think we will definitely replicate our breakfast study.”

“We wanted to share our ratings to tell other people about our experiences—give recommendations and inspire people to do fun projects like this on their own.”

RIP to the breakfast joint that was toprated on taste, Bluegrass Grill & Bakery. Charlie & Litsa’s South Main Street Cafe in Culpepper comes in second on the taste dimension.

That’s the measurement where you find some traditionally heralded local breakfast places: Oakhurst Inn Cafe and Espresso Bar ranks fourth; Ace Biscuit & Barbecue, Blue Moon Diner, Bodo’s Bagels, and Fox’s Cafe (also now closed) all tie for the fifth taste spot with an average rating of 9.3.

Chains tend not to fare well with the selfstyled “Breakfast Bunch” (or the three “Munchateers,” if that’s your taste). Not a single restaurant with multiple identical locations makes their overall top-10 list. Not even Bodo’s. IHOP rates reasonably well on taste and menu, and Taco Bell scores a surprise eighth in the service dimension.

For the eldest Nosek, the most surprising takeaway from the project was how little cost

November 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

rian Nosek is into numbers. He’s also into breakfast.

Nosek, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, is a well-known champion of “open science,” a movement to make academic research and its findings accessible to everyone. “A lot of the public perception of psychology is about treatment and management of wellbeing,” Nosek says. “But a substantial portion of the field, of academic psychology, is about strong methodology.”

For his latest data project, Nosek commissioned two research assistants: his daughters, 14-year-old Haven and 12-year-old Joni.

“We love breakfast,” Nosek says. “My spouse sleeps in, and we have time in the morning to do stuff on the weekends. So it’s often, ‘Let’s go have breakfast somewhere.’”

But how to decide where to dine? Nosek says he and his daughters used Yelp as their go-to info source. But it didn’t tell them everything they wanted to know. Specifically, Nosek says Yelp doesn’t say much about the quality you can expect for your money.

The Noseks set out on an egg-zamination of their own. The researchers would eat at 50 places “known for their breakfast.” They would rate every restaurant on taste, presentation, menu, ambiance, and service.

They would consider each variable in the context of price.

And in the spirit of open science, they would publish their data for all the world to see, explore for themselves, and perform new analyses.

“We wanted to share our ratings to tell other people about our experiences—give recommendations and inspire people to do fun projects like this on their own,” Haven Nosek says.

No word yet on whether anyone has taken the Noseks up on crunching those numbers.

But, from the researchers’ perspective, the conclusions are in. The team’s number one overall breakfast spot in the area? Fill up your gas tank—it’s Thunderbird Cafe in McGaheysville, on Route 33 just outside of Massanutten. “It was really my style and yummy,” Joni Nosek says.

Quirk Cafe, Croby’s Urban Vittles, Guajiros Miami Eatery, Fig, and MarieBette Cafe & Bakery round out the top five overall. (Fig and MarieBette tie for fifth.) Quality Pie earns a special honorable mention from the lead researcher; it lands third on taste but suffered overall due to ambiance issues during COVID.

The husband-and-wife duo’s name pays homage to a string band from over 100 years ago, and the couple’s guitar and Gibson banjo are more than 80 years old—but they don’t let that stop them from telling stories of their own.

Playing for keeps Jim Cummings has another brilliant outing in The Beta Test

By Deirdre Crimmins arts@c-ville.com

T

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Jim Cummings is the writer, director, producer, and star of The Beta Test, co-starring Virginia Newcomb, a dark comedy about a Hollywood agent ensnared in a web of lies when he falls prey to a sinister sex cult.

preoccupation highlights the existing cracks in his artificially perfect life.

Cummings is incredible as the obsessed, focused-yet-bumbling Jordan. He often lets awkward moments hang a beat longer than expected, to the point of ridiculousness. Jordan is never framed as a good, selfless guy, but he thinks the world sees him this way. He lies poorly, but thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and cannot

fathom anything less. Watching his ego and his life get chipped away by his own doing is tasty and satisfying.

Where The Beta Test falls short is with its social agenda. It teases Jordan as the kind of guy who thinks the #MeToo movement is going to come after him, but never fully incorporates that into his fears and paranoia. Granted, there are plenty of other issues in Jordan’s life that distract from his grasp of cancel culture, but the hint of this threat makes it feel like an underdeveloped idea. Also, as The Beta Test gets closer to the truth, it begins to flirt with the ramifications of certain digital security issues, but in a manner that is rushed and merely tacked on.

Still, The Beta Test is an entertaining exercise in watching a self-involved Hollywood player slowly come to the realization that he is neither all-powerful nor all-knowing.

The Beta Test NR, 93 minutes Watching his assumed powers slip between his fingers while he flails is a mean-spirited way for Cummings to take a swing at his fellow celluloid elites. No doubt he has met these kinds of egomaniacs, and his taking them down a peg in a fictional manner is a pleasure to watch.

November 17 – 23, 2021 c-ville.com

here is a certain charm to an actor who doesn’t shy away from playing the fool, especially when that actor is also the writer, director, and producer of the film. Jim Cummings is one of the newest multihyphenates in Hollywood, and he is not afraid to be a dunce.

Cummings has been directing and writing for over a decade, but he made his first major splash in 2018 with Thunder Road.

Based on his own short film, Thunder Road stars Cummings as an awkward police officer who is losing his struggle with grief.

Rather than playing as a tragedy, the film is an intersection of serious and silly, and Cummings makes it brilliant.

In The Beta Test, Cummings repeats the formula, mixing humor with morbidity at his character’s expense. He stars as a cutthroat Hollywood agent named Jordan, who seemingly has it all—a good job, a flashy car, a beautiful fiancée, and a shallowly perfect life.

Jordan’s trajectory is interrupted when he receives a hand-lettered purple envelope, which leads to an anonymous sexual encounter at a fancy hotel. This launches him on an obsessive search to find the source of the letter. The film offers glimpses into the lives of other people whose relationships were walloped after receiving the same purple envelope, and it adds gravity to Jordan’s pursuit of the truth.

Oddly, Jordan’s obsession with the source of these invitations is not driven by his need to protect his relationship or a lust to find the sexy stranger. Instead, he needs to get to the bottom of this dark web because he cannot handle the lack of control.

The cryptic investigation coincides with a crumbling business deal and rising tension with his fiancée (Virginia Newcomb) just weeks ahead of their wedding. His

Scorpio

By Rob Brezsny

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Storyteller and mythologist Michael Meade believes that each of us has an inner indigenous person—a part of our psyche that can love and learn from nature, that’s inclined to revere and commune with the ancestors, that seeks holiness in the familiar delights of the earth. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to cultivate your relationship with your inner indigenous person. What other experiences might be available to you as you align your personal rhythms with the rhythms of the earth? What joys might emerge as you strive to connect on deeper levels with animals and plants and natural forces?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn novelist Haruki Murakami writes, “I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it—to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more.

Just once.” Most of us feel that longing, although few of us admit it. But I will urge you to place this desire in the front of your awareness during the next two weeks. I’ll encourage you to treat your yearning for maximum love as a sacred strength, a virtue to nurture and be proud of. I’ll even suggest you let people know that’s what you want. Doing so may not result in a total satisfaction of the longing, but who knows? Maybe it will. If there will ever be a time when such fulfillment could occur, it will be soon.

Aquarius

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Since 1996, Ira Glass has produced the renowned radio series “This American Life.” In 2013, as a reward for his excellence, he was offered a raise in his annual salary from $170,000 to $278,000. He accepted it for one year, but then asked that it be lowered to $146,000. He described the large increase in pay as “unseemly.” What?!

I appreciate his modesty, but I disapprove.

I’m always rooting for Pisceans like Ira Glass to embrace the fullness of their worth and to be aggressive about gathering all the rewards they’re offered. So I’m inclined, especially right now, to urge you NOT to be like Glass. Please swoop up all the kudos, benefits, and blessings you deserve.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries poet and philosopher Friedrich Hölderlin had many ups and downs. He was one of Germany’s greatest poets and philosophers, but he also endured more emotional distress than most people.

His biographer wrote, “Sometimes this genius goes dark and sinks down into the bitter well of his heart, but mostly his apocalyptic star glitters wondrously.” You may have been flirting with a milder version of a “bitter well of the heart,” Aries. But I foresee that you will soon return to a phase when your star glitters wondrously—and without the “apocalyptic” tinge that Hölderlin harbored.

In the coming weeks, I believe you will experience much less of this sad problem than usual. I’m guessing you’ll be especially skilled at articulating your lush truth and will have an extra receptive audience for it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “I never resist temptation,” declared playwright George Bernard Shaw.

Why did he dare to utter such an outlandish statement? “Because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me,” he said. I propose that you aspire to embody his attitude during the next eight weeks, Gemini. Make it your aspiration to cultivate a state of mind wherein you will only be tempted to engage with influences that are healthy and educational and inspiring. You can do it! I know you can!

Cancer

Taurus

(June 21-July 22): While still a teenager, Cancerian cowboy Slim Pickens competed in the rodeo, a sporting event in which brave athletes tangle with aggressive broncos and bulls.

When America entered World War II, Pickens went to a recruiting office to sign up for the military. When asked about his profession, Pickens said “rodeo.” The clerk misheard and instead wrote “radio.” Pickens was assigned to work at an armed forces radio station in the American Midwest, where he spent the entire war. It was a safe and secure place for him to be. I foresee a lucky mistake like that in your near future, Cancerian. Maybe more than one lucky mistake. Be alert.

(April 20-May 20): Author David Foster Wallace felt sad about how little of our mind’s intense activity can be shared with others. So much of what goes on inside us seems impossible to express. Or if it is possible to express, few of our listeners are receptive to it or able to fully understand it. That’s the bad news, Taurus. But here’s the good news:

(July 23-Aug. 22): To create your horoscope, I’ve borrowed ideas from four famous Leos.

They all address your current astrological needs. First, here’s Leo author P. L. Travers: “More and more I’ve become convinced that the great treasure to possess is the un-

Leo

known.” Second, here’s Leo author Sue Monk Kidd: “There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming.” Third, Leo poet Philip Larkin: “Originality is being different from oneself, not others.” Finally, Leo author Susan Cheever: “There is no such thing as expecting too much.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I encourage you to adopt the perspective expressed by spiritual author Ann Voskamp. She wrote, “I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, the moments before I sleep.” I understand that taking this assignment seriously could be a challenging exercise. Most of us are quick to spot flaws and awfulness, but few have been trained to be alert for elegance and splendor and wondrousness. Are you willing to try out this approach? Experiment with it. Treat it as an opportunity to reprogram your perceptual faculties. Three weeks from now, your eyes and ears could be attuned to marvels they had previously missed.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran educator and anthropologist Johnnetta Cole wrote, “The first sign of an educated person is that she asks more questions than she delivers answers.” I agree and would also say this: A prime attribute of an intelligent, eager-to-learn person is that she asks more questions than she delivers answers. I encourage you to be like that during the coming weeks, Libra. According to my astrological estimation, you are scheduled to boost your intelligence and raise your curiosity. An excellent way to meet your appointments with destiny will be to have fun dreaming up interesting questions.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An article published in the journal Scientific American declared, “Most people don’t know when to stop talking.” Conversations between strangers and between friends typically go on too long. A mere two percent of all dialogs finish when both parties want them to. That’s the bad news, Aquarius.

The good news is that in the coming weeks, your sensitivity about this issue will be more acute than usual. As a result, your talk will be extra concise and effective—more persuasive, more interesting, and more influential. Take advantage of this subtle superpower!

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don’t read the lines,” wrote author Margaret Millar. That’s not a common problem for you Scorpios. You are an expert at reading between the lines, but that doesn’t cause you to miss the simple facts. Better than any other sign of the zodiac, you are skilled at seeing both secret and obvious things. Given the astrological omens that will be active for you during the rest of 2021, I suspect this skill of yours will be a virtual superpower.

And even more than usual, the people in your life will benefit from your skill at naming the truth.

Delivery and Supply Chains

46 NOVEMBER 17 - 23, 2021 ISSUE 3046

How often have you heard “Our response times are slower due to COVID.”?

What seems like a worn-out excuse has become our reality. So much that even the penultimate consumer experience, holiday gift-giving, is threatened.

Filling the gap, Amazon is opening two “last-mile” delivery facilities near Interstate 64, one in Waynesboro, the other in the Ferncliff Business Park in Louisa County. Each site will employ about 100 drivers and freight handlers in time to help deliver holiday gifts.

Whether or not Christmas gifts arrive on time, supply chain delays have already delayed delivery of bigger prizes to local economies.

Too Much of a Great Thing?

Commercial Real Estate Expansion Delivers a Sunny Outlook

W

e are just a few months shy of two years into the pandemic that wreaked havoc on our main streets and many of our side streets. While some businesses and operations adjusted and remained viable, others did not survive.

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

Still others stepped into the void after the worst of the shutdowns were over with a business strategy customized to deal with COVID limitations.

As infection rates declined, CEOs breathed a sigh of relief and made plans to return to something closer to their nearly carefree in-person, on-site, on-time pre-COVID existence.

Until the Delta variant caused everyone to pause.

So here we are in November 2021, still wondering when and how much of a recovery to that idyllic pre-COVID experience we can expect. Against a backdrop of supply chain delays, staffing shortages, and remote work becoming entrenched, the outlook is surprisingly sunny.

In an 18-month period, even with delays, nearly a half million square feet of Class A office space is being delivered to Charlottesville. Dairy Central and 3TWENTY3 opened in 2020. The CODE Building opened this month, and Apex Plaza will open over the winter.

Is that too much of a great thing?

According to Chris Engle, Charlottesville’s Director of Economic Development, vacancy rates of only 1.5 percent and no new Class A office space downtown in over a decade, make Charlottesville ripe for this scope of new construction. Even after the CODE building and Apex Plaza are added to the mix, vacancy rates will be close to a healthy five percent.

The long-awaited CODE Building— Center of Developing Entrepreneurs—officially opened November 1. Its presence (and impact) on the Downtown Mall has been highly anticipated since demolition of the old ice-skating rink.

The nine-story building towers over the west end of the Mall. Yet its stepped scale and configuration with enticing courtyards and water features improve pedestrian and open-air flow between Market, Main, and Water Streets.

Developer Andrew Boninti, CHS Development, expects the CODE Building to catalize renewed vitality on the Downtown Mall. “We hope to see the rebirth of the Mall coming out of the pandemic.”

Ground floor retail, below grade parking, office and shared workspaces on upper floors with terraced green roofs should attract more customers, diners, and office workers downtown. The building is 70 percent leased up and tenants will spend the next couple of months moving in and customizing their space. The real impact of the LEED Gold CODE Building on downtown businesses will be realized in 2022 and beyond.

Following closely after the CODE Building’s opening, will be the eight story, 300,000-square-foot Apex Plaza.

Serving as headquarters for Apex Clean Energy, there will be a similar timeline of tenants gaining access and completing buildout over winter months, with the real impact on downtown retail and restaurants coming later.

Known for its mass timber construction, its 875 solar panels are expected to have Apex operating at net-positive energy.

These four cutting edge office buildings coming online in such a narrow timeframe point to optimism in Charlottesville’s general economy and its ability to attract and retain innovative companies.

Still Working from Home The COVID pandemic began after this quartet of notable Class A office buildings was already in the construction pipeline. No doubt, COVID created some uncertainty about office use and the impact of working from home on occupancy.

Most companies with an office-based workforce expected to have employees back in their cubicles by Labor Day. Once the Delta variant became prominent, many halted their plans for a full return.

Some still offer a fully remote option to employees. Other employees became permanent remote workers, such as those at the former State Farm campus in Pantops.

Contrast that approach with Commonwealth Computer Research Inc., located near Hydraulic Road. After becoming part of General Atomics operation earlier this year, the company recently signed a lease for nearly 50,000-square-feet in the 3TWENTY3 building.

LEED Gold, net-positive energy, green roofs, enhanced air quality, stunning views and downtown locations all combine to attract businesses into these superior spaces and give their employees a great reason to come back to the office.

Sweet Manufacturing The office environment isn’t the only commercial real estate sector showing promise. New or expanding manufacturing operations in Central Virginia help boost the economy with a decided slant toward sweets and eats.

The Hershey Company has increased its presence on both sides of the Blue Ridge. Hershey recently mailed flyers to area homes on both sides of the mountain, inviting people to apply for open positions at their newly expanded plant

in Stuart’s Draft, which added 90,000 square feet and 100 new positions.

And that empty State Farm campus in Pantops? Say hello to Bonumose. The former “Project Packet” company will partner with Hershey to research and develop reduced or zero sugar chocolate products. A nearly $28 million expansion will allow Bonumose to move into 36,000 square feet of the former State Farm building. Bonumose will expand its production capabilities and relocate its existing research and development

lab from North Fork, creating 64 new jobs. How sweet it will be if their first product, tagatose, lives up to its promise as a healthy low-calorie sugar.

The fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant chain CAVA just announced they will invest more than $30 million to build a new processing and packaging operation in Augusta County’s Mill Place Commerce Park. CAVA has 130 locations and several new restaurants in Central Virginia. The 57,000-square-foot facility will create 52 new jobs.

OPPORTUNITY AWAITS WITH ALL 3 OF THESE UNIQUE PROPERTIES: Income Producing Short Stay Or Primary Residence

In Orange County, Worthington Architectural Millwork is expanding its manufacturing operation of high-end custom cabinetry and millwork, adding 26 new jobs. Its sister company, Seabury Moore, LLC., specializes in custom home building and will construct a 20,000-square-foot building in the Thomas E. Lee Industrial Park.

The 65-acre Villages at Terrace Greene will have 282 townhouses between Preddy Creek Road and 29North. Thirty of those will be true live-work units with a ground floor office or retail space and a two-story townhome above. On buildout, this gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to enjoy unique, convenient, but separate livework spaces.

As this sampling of new and expandNORTHFIELD MANOR ing businesses in Central Virginia shows, companies continue to invest in this area, building facilities and creating new jobs.

Continued economic growth, however, requires job growth and investment to move in tandem.

The Virginia REALTORS® association reported that there are still about 175,000 fewer jobs in Virginia than before the pandemic. The Charlottesville metro area experienced a steeper decline in employment during that period than elsewhere in Virginia, losing more than eight percent of jobs compared to less than five percent for the entire state.

Despite online shopping trends, customers still shop in stores, and retail still delivers. Many stores kept the doors open with enhanced delivery, or, for restaurants, drive through and curb-side pickups. Some restaurants have closed their dining room doors simply because they don’t have enough staff to operate drive-through and dine-in.

A surge in small businesses is one of many bright spots in the area, according to Rose Deal, Orange County Director of Economic Development. Innovation Orange, LLC, is relocating to the HUBZone in Orange. The IT company helps businesses and citizens manage their business tech securely and efficiently.

New restaurants Spoon and Spindle, and Cooper’s Cookin’ and Catering, creative arts shop Paint It Orange, join other small businesses livening up the town of Orange.

Peter Wray, Broker with Triangle Realtors, is still enthusiastic about the commercial real estate market. “Sites are filling up and vacancies are low.” He rattles off shopping areas from Pantops to Staunton that are expanding or at full capacity. “We have a new six-acre site on 29North to ground lease or build to suit.

Before we even brought it to market, we had strong interest from multiple users.

Demand is not slowing down.

“As some sectors contract, that real estate is being repurposed. In the past two years I have done 70 bank branch conversions. With the rise in online banking, it didn’t make sense to have so many banks. But other businesses were ready to reuse those buildings.”

“Churn can be good. Look at what’s happening with the Staunton Mall. It’s being redeveloped into a mix of retail and multifamily units. Retail operations shift with changes in costumer needs, or they get left behind for other businesses to move in.

“There are some warning indicators that could stall or reverse our growth. If inflation and interest rates rise quickly and if the supply chain issues worsen, that will slow us down. Construction is taking almost twice as long as it should because of supply and delivery problems.

Otherwise, I feel good about our economic prospects, at least through the first quarter of 2022.”

As the COVID trends of remote work and enhanced delivery become more entrenched or subside, businesses will respond and adapt, and the commercial real estate market will follow suit. Going into the winter and 2022, most pros have a sunny outlook.
