When you visit Charlottesville and are looking at Real Estate you will want to get a feel for the history and feel of Jefferson's Virginia. What better way that to visit and eat at Michie Tavern

There is a lot to see and you can even learn 18th-century dances on your tour. There is a General Store and everyone wears traditional clothing.

The Meadow Run Grist Mill (ca. 1797) is a site to see. This is where the general store is offering an old mercantile atmosphere.

You can walk up Carters Mountain to visit Monticello! Sure it is about 2 miles (each way) but my family and I did it this weekend and it was wonderful!

Monticello Trail

This well built trail has wide gravel and many areas are winding boardwalks! My son and I even raced a couple of times during our outing.

Monticello Trail

There are several places to stop along the way and just enjoy the view!

What a great way to spend the day in Charlottesville! Sure it was 300 feet up (from start to finish) but what fun we had together!

Charlottesville Downtown Mall meets Apple?

Charles  McDonald / Your Trusted Broker  for Charlottesville Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Charlottesville, VA

I am going to spread a little rumor here...

Our Downtown Walking Mall in Charlottesville is expanding and part of this expansion is a 100-room boutique hotel.

They actually broke ground on this last week.

Well Rumor has it that many fine chains have been inquiring about our little gem of an area and one such store is Apple.

Is our downtown about to get a growing spurt? I think it is and I am not sure it is what Charlottesville really wants to happen.

There is always a lot going on behind the scenes and this expansion is one of those things.

What are your thoughts on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall expanding?
