News from the garage: October 19
There’s nothing more to worry about. An apple, thought to be lost for 125 years, has been found. The Hewes crab apple, one of three apples specifically cultivated in Thomas Jefferson’s orchard to be pressed for cider, was found on an estate outside of New York City. Branches have since been mailed around the country and grafted onto thriving root stock. We’ll be drinking the same juice as Thomas Jefferson in no time. Read more here.
Charlottesville’s Jimmy John’s customers are freaked out. The subs made and delivered “so fast you’ll freak” just got faster. David M from North East, PA just landed a gig delivering orders by bike. He’ll balancing a catering order, with a pickle in his pocket, or with a drink in the water bottle holster. With the new guy on the scene, customers should be prepared to freak a little bit more.
The new pedestrian bridge by Wayside Chicken opened today. The wood planked path crosses over the infamously noisy railroad tracks. It is the nicest foot bridge in town, and the construction dudes know it. Go give them a thumbs up.
Two weekends ago, a song—presumably sung in a foreign language—radiated from UVA’s Scott Stadium parking structure. The secret singer was nowhere to be heard last weekend, likely due to the victorious homecoming football game and tailgating festivities. UVA is hosting another game this Saturday, so don’t expect a free, late-night musical interlude until the following Saturday when the Cavs will be partying it up elsewhere. They don’t have a game that day.
