Whenever I make a post of any kind on the realCrozetVA Facebook page, invariably half of the comments are lamenting that Crozet is not what it was 40 or 50 years ago.

Thinking only about how things used to be must be exhausting

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

More people getting together in more third spaces = better community, and better election results.
ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections
