Charlottesville Has a Ton of Great Blogs

by Jim Duncan on August 26, 2008

Most of them are fed into CvilleBlogs, but the volume there is tremendous and hard to keep up with. We’re truly lucky to have such a vibrant, knowledge and diverse (blogging) community.

I found this blog, titled Discovering Urbanism, last week with this genesis, which shares a lot of my interests which focus on Charlottesville’s real estate and real estate market (location, location, location and “how do I get around?):

I started this blog about a year ago as a semi-public way for me to hash out my personal thoughts about urban form and community. An intellectual journal of sorts, available for others to correct and hopefully fine-tune. But before long I realized that the most interesting posts, as well as the ones that generated the most discussion, were those based in my particular city of Missoula. I discovered what should have been obvious all along: issues like transportation and zoning are pretty boring unless they are about the particular roads and lands that real people use. That’s where the action is. (ed note: bolding mine)

Thankfully the author has moved to Charlottesville and is documenting the Downtown Mall, Bike Maps, and much more.

Thanks for the kind welcome. I agree that this is a very active town in terms of blogging. I’m looking forward to following your thoughts about real estate development here.
