Starting point is 00:00:08 Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us. This is the water cooler of content and conversation for anything and everything. Charlottesville, Almar County, Central Virginia, the Commonwealth, the country, and the world. We want you, the viewer and listener, to text, DM, email, send us content ideas. We want to be the water cooler. We don't want to originate or break the news.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I just got a text message literally 30 seconds ago as the show starts with starting. from someone I trust, someone who is connected in the real estate space about an article that's in Charlestville tomorrow, and this individual who I'm not going to utilize his name here. He has not given me approval to use his name. Says, this is the most politically toned article I've ever seen. The parcel is on West Main and not in the 10th and page neighborhood. He's referring to an article in Seville tomorrow that was published. Yesterday, the headline, despite community opposition, plans for an eight-story luxury student housing building on West Main Street move forward.
Starting point is 00:01:20 This is the LV collective building. That's eight stories on West Main Street, 847 West Main Street. This is the one that would overshadow the West Haven neighborhood. This is, what is it, adjacent to the standard, I believe? The standard has since been rebranded. What is the rebranding for the standard? Do you remember? I don't.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Let's see. It was purchased by a Morgan Stanley-led institutional buyer that rolled up a number of student apartment towers in markets, not just Charlottesville. Ugo Crestline. That's what it is. What's it called? Ugo Crestline.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah, it's now the Ugo Crestline. The standard is now. Ugo Cressline, that's right. That's an odd name. I don't know if you remember Ugo's from the... Studio camera, Judah Whitcower's cracking jokes over here.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Love when Judah Wittower cracks jokes over here. Judah Whitaker's humor is one of my favorite things in life. I sincerely mean that. When he cracks jokes, they're generally very funny. Hugo, do I remember, the juice? The juice. Is that what you were referencing?
Starting point is 00:02:34 Oh, my goodness. What were you referencing? The car. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the car was... Remember Ugo's? Yeah, yeah, it was a crappy car. There's the old joke.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Do you know why Ugoes have warmers on the rear windows? Tell us, Judah. Why? To keep your hands warm when you're pushing it in the snow. But I'm Judah Wick Cowher, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, do we cry a foul, or do we say I told you so, another student apartment tower overshadowing West Haven
Starting point is 00:03:13 on West Main Street if there's a place where student apartment towers should be built it's on West Main Street it's on West Main Street explain to the community why do you because it's in direct line with the school I mean it's the the gateway
Starting point is 00:03:28 to between downtown and UVA I mean I'm yeah what do you think they're going to do are they going to buy up old expensive, what, fraternity and sorority houses and tear them down?
Starting point is 00:03:49 Viewers and listeners. The folks in the 10th and page in West Haven neighborhoods, the folks tied to the Public Housing Association of Residence. Is it FAR, FARA? A PHAR. I mean, folks, what did you think was going to happen? If you want housing, it's got to be affordable to build. The gateway between downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia is West Main Street.
Starting point is 00:04:20 It's a streetscape that is the most important one in the city. The two, there's the most important streetscapes in the city. Which ones are they, Judah? Let's try to rank them right now. In fact, that's a great topic for the show. In the city of Charlottesville, if you had to rank the most important streetscapes or gateways in the city, Number one is without question West Main Street. West Main Street from the University of Virginia to downtown Charlottesville right now is underperforming.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Viewers and listeners may not want to hear that, and I understand there's fantastic restaurants like Continental Divide. Fantastic restaurants like Maya Restaurant, like Public Fish and Oyster, like Black Cowd Chop House. Peter Castellione and Christian Kelly did a great job at Maya. Daniel Kaufman's done a phenomenal job at public and black cow chop house. Alan Kajin watches and listens to the program. Fantastic job with what he's done development-wise around public fish and oyster shenanigans, that financial firm next to shenanigans. Alan Kajin owns the parking lot where the Amtrak station is.
Starting point is 00:05:35 The Wild Wing Cafe former restaurant, Alan Kajin owns. Alan Kajin owns the Purple Building, the Main Street Market. He owns that where Orzo is. Alan Kajin owns the parking lot next to the Main Street market. You talk about a key player in the West Main Streetcape gentrification or that's not the right word. Development, uplift, facelift, those are better words. Key player in that is Alan Kajin. And if you remember during the Nakaya Walker era, what Matthew Gilliken and Livable Seville really sunk their teeth into,
Starting point is 00:06:12 when Nakaya Walker was on city council, was kiboshing the West Main Street Skate Project. The West Main Street Skate Project had free money from VDOT, millions and billions and millions and millions of dollars allocated or gifted to Charlottesville from VDOT. Had millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars ready to go from the University of Virginia. The city of Charlottesville was gonna pony up a little bit of money as well.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And the whole concept with this West Main Street Skate project was to make the most important gateway in the city a much more optimized pedestrian-friendly, bicycle-friendly, quality-of-life-friendly, the beautification, the uplift, and the efficiency, the optimization of West Main. You look at it right now, it is far from perfect. There's pockets of West Main Street that if you look at right now, you're like, what the hell's going on here? How does this all fit together? How does this all fit together? It's a hodgepodge.
Starting point is 00:07:13 It's eclectic. There's no cohesive plan. And this is the most important one. This is the one where tourists, locals, and students alike utilize all the time. But Nakaya Walker and Matthew Gilligan and livable Seaville as they were cutting their chops, they basically lobbied the community in activist capacities and fashions, tarred and feathered former counselor Heather Hill, try to tar and feather former counselor Kathy Galvin by saying,
Starting point is 00:07:43 how are you spending millions, tens of millions of dollars on West Maine when Beaufort Middle School needs a complete gut job, uplift, and facelift? The money was allocated away from West Maine, the Charlottesville money, and put toward Beaufort for a renovation project that took years and only recently was finished. The damning aspect, the downfall of this approach, was the free effing money from VDOT and UVA. That is no longer there, viewers and listeners.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Because we had to give it back. It's exactly right. It's no longer there, the VDOT and UVA money for West Maine. Yeah. Okay, so now you have a West Maine that's still, how did you describe it? You described it perfectly. How does it all fit together?
Starting point is 00:08:30 There are parts that are wonderful, like the new, what happened to Blue, Blue Moon, Blue Moon Diner. That's a great building. But where does it fit with the rest of the rest of West Main? What about, there are just pockets of...
Starting point is 00:08:49 You got Jeff Levine, the Big Apple Manhattan developer that did the apartment building where Blue Moon is right next to University Tire. Right? You got Kajin owning a large portion of West Main Street. He watches and listens to the show. He sent me an email that I'm probably going to turn into content next week. as it applies to San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Alan Kajin, we need to get you on the program, sir. We need to get you on the program. Let me see if I can find the emails. It was tied to San Francisco where his heart is. The bicostal attorney, I mean, actually, I don't even think I'm describing him correctly bicostal. He's got a crib in Hawaii, a crib in San Francisco, and does a boatload of business in Charlottesville.
Starting point is 00:09:28 He sends me an email first saying, Judah, I accept your apology. Despite you disparaging me, I accept your apology. Judah tried to compare Alan Kajin, one of the most powerful commercial landlords in Charlottesville to John Dewberry. I immediately cringed when he did that. Part of me died inside. It was more of a question. He says he accepts your apology.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And he says, I'm providing links to a YouTube video on two articles about the current boom in San Francisco residential real estate. It's a fun read. Read the articles and ask yourself, why Kajin is spending all his time converting property from a live, work, used, commercial. use only. I love when Alan sends me emails and talks about himself in the third person. That was awesome. I appreciated that. I'm glad you got my text message
Starting point is 00:10:17 about that gutter at Commonwealth Skybar. He owns Commonwealth Skybar. I'll get back on track here. There's no more important gateway in Charlottesville than West Main. In building luxury student towers, it should happen there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Because if you build luxury student towers, on West Main Street, then you get this live, work, play cohesion. You don't have the students penetrating the neighborhoods of the working class or the white collar. I'm not crazy about the apartment tower that was built in Fifeville, but we told you this was going to happen, Matthew Gilliken and Libable Seaville, we told you this was going to happen. The West Main area is exactly where it's supposed to be. And yes, if you're in the West Haven neighborhood, and yes, the history of West Haven is one that is awful.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Vinegar Hill, urban renewal, taking a boatload of black families and putting them in public housing in West Haven. Awful, awful, awful. But in 2026, 27, 2028, and 2029, unfortunately, you're going to see a lot less of the sun as apartment towers are going to be built around you, basically creating an apartment tower perimeter. or an apartment tower moat all around public housing in the city of Charlottesville. And to get back to my list, what are the most important gateways
Starting point is 00:11:45 or corridors of significance in the city of Charlottesville? The individual who I'm not going to utilize says, here's some, Emmett, Preston, Ridge, Fifth, Avon. This person's exactly right. I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:12:00 West Main Street is number one. I'm going to say my second most important corridor or streetscape in all of the city of Charlottesville is Preston Avenue, which is effing parallel to West Main Street. Preston Avenue is significantly important. What's your third most important gateway or streetscape in the city of Charlottesville? Deep Throat, this is right up your alley. What do we put on that list? High Street? High Street's an extremely important one. Do we put Ridge Street on that one? and it's a natural segue, ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:12:36 to city council ignoring downtown business owners and making Water Street one way. Yeah. I need to hear a legitimate argument from the viewers and listeners, and maybe Judah Wickhauer can make a legitimate argument on this. What is the reasoning with voting to transition Water Street into a one-way passageway? What is the reasoning?
Starting point is 00:13:02 The surface answer is bicycle safety, pedestrian safety. That's the surface answer. Want to know something, viewers and listeners? Not many people that are tourists get to downtown Charlottesville on bicycles and by walking. They're a effing tourist. The large majority of people, despite maybe a large portion of the people not wanting this to be the case, the large majority of people get downtown by driving. And if you make downtown difficult to get to an avioree,
Starting point is 00:13:32 less people are going to go downtown. You make Water Street one way in Judah. It's my understanding the one way is going to go from the Omni Hotel to where the Saka-Jua statue is or used to be, the Lewis and Clark statue. That's the traffic flow. So what direction is that? I'm terrible with directions. From...
Starting point is 00:13:51 I'm terrible too. Hold on a second. The Water Street Garage to where the Lewis and Clark statue used to be. That's what? East to West, isn't it? Let's see. I'm checking it out. That's got to be east to west. Neither of us was a boy scout.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I didn't get past the weeblows, although I did win the Pinewood Derby race while I was a wee blow. My dad and I took our Pinewood Derby wood car, put pennies on the bottom to get the right weight, and took it to the grocery store in Williamsburg, and put it on a scale in the produce department, because it had to be limited. It couldn't pass a certain.
Starting point is 00:14:32 threshold of weight. So here we are. I'm like in the third or fourth grade. Yeah, I think you're right. East to west. East to west, right? I'm in the third or fourth grade with my father of CPA taking a pinewood derby car that's been glued with pennies on the bottom of it, weighing in on a produce scale at the grocery store with people looking at us. What are these numb nuts doing over here? What are these nimb rods doing over here? The second most important quarter is Preston Avenue. Can you make an argument why Water Street should be made one way? What is the argument? I honestly don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:08 This is Austronomics all over again. I mean, there's, I honestly don't know. You're right. I don't know that I've ever seen people biking up and down Water Street. Yeah, this guy watching the program, we need to get you on the show watching the show. The gentleman that's texting. me. Your work colleague is trying to come back on the show. We
Starting point is 00:15:35 need to get you on the show. You would be a fantastic guest on the program. He sends me a fantastic graphic of what, or rendering of what West Main Street is eventually going to look like. And he says this, sales tax revenue collection is downtown
Starting point is 00:15:51 hugely, yet city council is going to make downtown less accessible. I'm going to tell you right now. the condo projects that are on Water Street. There's two condoed buildings. I'm not going to say who owns them. I've toured both buildings intimately.
Starting point is 00:16:13 One of the floors is owned by someone that I'm like two or three degrees of Kevin Bacon away from. He asked me a handful of times, Jerry, will you please come over here and figure out what I can do with this floor? I'm considering doing executive office space and everyone in this community knows you're the executive office guy. And I walked through it. I realized immediately in this building on Water Street that when Jeffrey Woodruff, friend of the program, built the code building,
Starting point is 00:16:46 that building is so tall and sizable and significant in nature that it literally takes away the sun from the office condos and the residential condos that are adjacent to it. and across the street of Water Street. So the first thing I realized while touring these floors of these two buildings next to the Code building on Water Street, well, there's not a ton of natural light here.
Starting point is 00:17:11 First thing I noticed. Second thing I noticed, I mentioned to these real estate owners, significant real estate owners. The type of people behind the scenes that are legitimately driving and controlling and dictating the pace. of Charlottesville's economy. Okay?
Starting point is 00:17:30 And I mentioned to these guys, you do know that city council is on the cost of making Water Street one way. These are the most wealthy, real estate, rich holding men in our community. They had zero idea. They're like, there's no way
Starting point is 00:17:47 they would make Water Street one way. They would never do that. These men own a majority share and condo complex. in the urban ring right over the Charlottesville line in Almore County down Fifth Street extended. They have buildings on the downtown mall, buildings off the downtown mall, holdings on High Street, holdings everywhere. Literally looked at me and said, Jerry, you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:13 There's no way city council would make Water Street one way. I'm like, they're talking about doing this. I had this meeting with them last year, walk their building because they are struggling to figure out what to do with. I said, they're going to make this one way. Do you understand the impact that this is going to have on your holdings here on Water Street when the access points to your buildings, floors that are asking, asking, they're not selling, their D-O-M is long in the tooth, that are asking millions of dollars per floor, do you understand what this is going to do to the values of your holdings here on Water Street?
Starting point is 00:18:52 They're like, there's no way, they're not going to do it, they would not be that dumb. Here we're in a world where they've taken Water Street, and I'm going to ask a sincere question of the viewers and listeners, what has this done to the value of some of these buildings on Water Street now that vehicle traffic is only one way? You want to buy a penthouse on Water Street? You are going to have to take the long way to access your building. If you're on Main Street trying to get to your office building or your penhouse,
Starting point is 00:19:27 that's on Water Street. This is what you're going to have to do. You're on Main Street, Judah. You're going to have to take a right of where the Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea statue was. Once you take that right, I would imagine you're going to then take a left on South Street, right? If you then take a left on South Street, you're going to go all the way down South Street where South Street where South Street used to be located. As you go all the way down South Street, you'll take a left by that $15 million parking lot,
Starting point is 00:19:55 Anthony and Keith Woodard just purchased. Or you might take a left at the Water Street parking garage and then you're going to go back up Water Street to try to pull into your office building or your residential penthouse. That is a long way. That's like running
Starting point is 00:20:11 two laps to win the 400 meter race. I say that about you all the time when you're making a point on the show. You're running a 400 meter race, Judah, and you just did two laps around the track. That's what these folks are going to have to do to get to their penhouses on Water Street or their office buildings,
Starting point is 00:20:30 their offices, their headquarters on Water Street. Yeah. City Council, you heard from Mike Rody, you heard from Blair Williamson, you heard from Greer Ack and Back, you heard from Friends of Downtown Seaville, you heard from Susan Kootenar, Ludwig's special lady, she's an attorney. you heard from a large portion of your effing tax base that making Water Street one way was a bad idea. And you ignored your tax base.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And instead, you decided to listen to the bicycle and pedestrian community. And while the bicycle and pedestrian and activist community is an important community in Charlottesville, unquestionably an important community. They're smaller and number than your business community and the community that the business community attracts to Charlottesville. That's your tax base. We are in a downtown Charlottesville, ladies and gentlemen, that has not recovered since COVID.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Vacancies everywhere. Tell me the vacancies. Bonnie and Reed, draft tap room. Yeah. Commonwealth Skybar? Mm-hmm. Conan listed off the vacancies on yesterday's show. You still got him, Judah?
Starting point is 00:21:59 No, let's see. I think I have it somewhere, but I just got to find it. This man takes notes like a hoarder takes notes over there. Notes on papers everywhere. It doesn't throw the notes away. Underutilized parcels. That's not the same one, is it? Why would you create another headwind for downtown,
Starting point is 00:22:21 Charlottesville. Yeah. Now, I will say this. I will say this. I own a good chunk of a building on Market Street. Anyone who owns a building on Market Street, the Macklin Building, the Market Street Market, the Stone Tavern next to the Market Street Market.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I think the values of the buildings on Market Street are now upticked because of the one-way traffic on water. Market staying two ways. Market is now going to have even more vehicle traffic on it. Market is going to be the key way to get in and out of downtown Charlestville. Markets access and easeability is going to be prioritized even more. Well, I feel like it, I feel like market has already taken a lot of that traffic from,
Starting point is 00:23:08 already did. From Water Street. 100% did. And to make Water Street even more difficult to navigate is, like you said, not going to help things. Just it's idiocy. There's one person on counsel that's my friend, Lloyd Snook. I hope he hears this.
Starting point is 00:23:26 He watches and listens to the show. I know he's been bristling lately with my commentary on the I Love Sebo show. Okay? I know you have counselor Snook, and I'm being extremely sincere, sir, when I speak of you on the show, you are my friend, you're my business neighbor. I respect you tremendously. The other four on counsel, okay, unfortunately, you're a little. lumped and grouped together with your four peers. And I say this not as it applies to Lloyd Snook, but as counsel and totality.
Starting point is 00:24:02 If you were to put city council in a wet paper bag, they would die and suffocate there. They would not be able to find their way out. A 50-year anniversary for downtown Charlottesville, the agenda starts, the events start in two weeks. You have it in front of you. Do you rattle them off? What's the first event? Is it July 3rd? Oh, let's see. We've got 10 a.m. What is this? July 3rd, you're right. 10 a.m.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Two weeks from now, dudes. Two weeks from now, 10 a.m. They have two of the effing side streets. The two crawl streets on downtown Charlottesville are closed. Yeah. In two weeks, downtown Charlottesville celebrating a 50-year anniversary. Mm-hmm. We've known about the 50-year anniversary for downtown
Starting point is 00:24:52 for the downtown mall for, well, let me guess here. 50 fucking years. For 50 fucking years, they've known about the 50-year anniversary of the downtown mall. For 50 years, ladies and gentlemen. Yet city council okays the closing of two cross streets to re-brick the downtown mall, and it's still under construction two weeks before it. In the pinnacle of tourism season, coinciding with the 250-year anniversary of our effing country,
Starting point is 00:25:21 Charlottesville, a community rich in 250-year history. Monticello, Ashlawn, Montpelier, UVA, Thomas Jefferson. Remember those people and those locations? Some people don't want to. Monroe, Madison. You know who those people are? They're called presidents of the United States. Yet they greenlit the cross streets.
Starting point is 00:25:42 It's gone over budget and the project has gone too long from an execution standpoint. Imagine that. over budget and not finish within a timeline that was projected upon initial start. Imagine that. Then, I was talking about this with Conan Owen yesterday. They put the banners on the side streets.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Let me see if I can find the text. There's banners on the side streets that say, pardon our progress. All downtown mall businesses open during construction. The big call to action with the banners on the side streets say, pardon our progress. The big call to action doesn't say downtown businesses are open. It talks about the progress and not the fact that all the businesses are open.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Even more damning, they put the banners, they hide them. They didn't put them in the most prominent location. They hid them. They buried the lead, as Conan said. They didn't highlight them or position the banners in ways that they should have been seen by everyone. Now you close Water Street. Yeah. Most important streetscapes in the city of Charlottesville.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I'll go West Main Street number one. I'll go Preston Avenue number two. Anything you want to add to this list, Judah? I would say Ridge slash McIntyre-Fift. I'll give you Ridge-McIntyre Fifth. Ridge, McIntyre Fifth in the three-slot. Who's in your four-slot? At that point, then, do you say the Avon?
Starting point is 00:27:22 On the back of the ball? Belmont Bridge to Avon. I think that's less important. I mean, obviously it leads to a lot of places like Renovia and Mill Creek and... Are you going to put High Street in the four slot? Yeah, High Street, maybe 250. You're going to put Cherry Avenue on there? Long, Long Street, 250?
Starting point is 00:27:44 I don't know if I'd put Cherry on there. I'll put High Street on there. You're talking the fourth most important quarter or streetscape in the city, High Street, because of the tens of thousands of vehicles that come down Freebridge and take a left on High Street to get into the epicenter of employment. Look at what the city is done there.
Starting point is 00:28:03 They've allowed tent town under the Freebridge on the banks of the Rivana River. They buy Zero East High Street from Wendell Wood kiboshing a Bo Carrington development project that would have created more housing. They promised the community that we're going to turn it into an effing park. instead they turned it into a hub for hoboes yeah zero east high street we're going to buy this from wendell
Starting point is 00:28:29 we're going to keep bow from building apartments here because the apartments don't make make sense here this was michael pain's reasoning i'm i'm at a loss for words in coughing because i'm slightly nauseous from this leadership we're going to buy zero east high street we don't want bow to build apartments in a floodplain. It's dangerous. Bo has a plan to make sure there is no danger for the apartments. And Bo was building apartments at a time
Starting point is 00:29:09 when the city said they wanted housing. The community leaders, they listened to the activists, a couple hundred of them that said no housing. So the city went to, to Wendell, and they said, Wendell, we're going to give you millions of dollars. Where's the Charlottesville G-I.S? Charlestville G-I.S. Wendell, you have dirt in a floodplain that used to be the home to the circus, the Charlottesville Fair,
Starting point is 00:29:40 zero east high street. We're going to buy that dirt from you. City of Charleston. Here it is. God, I love the Cheryl. The one thing I will give them props is the Charlottesville G-I-S is bona fide. We're going to buy it for $5.9 million. November of 2023, the city bought it from Wendell for $5.9 million.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And we're going to make it a park. And from November of 2023 to now June 19th, 2026, they haven't made it a park. No. They've allowed it to turn into a hub for hobos. And now they're giving them more. And now they're giving the hub for hobos. What? I think more of everything.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Electricity, quarter potty, hand-washing stations, heroin used needle dispensers, food, 1,000-count bed sheets, Ritz-Carlton mattresses, Hilton, breakfast bars, and Bonvoy Marriott, drinking carts, all on taxpayer dollars? Make it make sense to me. William McChesney's watching the program. He says, Ivy Road is an important quarter and should be on there. City of Charlottesville, going from where the tennis courts, now the pickleball courts are down Ivy Road, that's an extremely important quarter that goes into Al Morrow County.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Oh, I'm going to add that on the list. In fact, William McChesney, you're taking my high street and you're dropping it. down to the five-slot. And because William McChesney, the mayor of McIntyre is so intelligent, I'm going to add that Ivy Road corridor where Ivy Square Shopping Center is, where
Starting point is 00:31:39 the bloom is being developed next to Moe's original barbecue, I brokered that deal. Help Derek Bond purchased Moe's original barbecue from Mike and Ashley Abrams. Fantastic deal. Derek won, Mike and Ashley won. Moe's original
Starting point is 00:31:55 barbecue's doing well. I got a nice little commission. The landlord at the time got a long-term lease did really well, did really well by Derek Bond, getting the lease in play, knowing that he was going to sell the Moes building eventually to the University of Virginia. Once the bloom gets up and running, you're going to have thousands of customers right next door. Is the long-term future for Moes? That location probably not, because the long-term future of that location is going to be something tied to Ivy Square Shopping Center. I've said multiple times on this program, the most valuable and underutilized and underdeveloped shopping strip in the city of Charlottesville is the university shops where the Papa Johns is, where Tokyo Rose used to be, where Lou Stevens Tennis Shop is.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Three different owners own in that building. One of them in front of the program, client of the program, Hunter Craig's got one unit in there. Super smart guy, Hunter Craig, buys one unit in the university shopping center because he knows he's got a position at the table. anytime that shopping center is being discussed for any kind of development, because nothing could be happened without his yes vote, or without his approval because he owns the one unit. If anyone doesn't see the writing on the wall with Ivy Road from the Boershead to grounds, they're building Academic Village 2.0.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I have no doubt in my mind, within a five or 10-year period of time, we will live in a world where from the Boershead, the Trophy property owned by the UVA Foundation to the rotunda, we're going to have Academic Village 2.0 where people are going to bicycle and walk all the way up and down Ivy Road into grounds proper. Data centers there. Darden School owns what, the Kempton over there. UVA is, no, is the Kempton owned by Darden? I think the Kempton is owned by Darden. There's another conference center being built with ties to UVA over there. Ties to the foundation.
Starting point is 00:34:03 No, yeah, I think the Kempton is owned by Darden, and then the UVA Foundation is building another conference center and hotel very close to the Kempton. If you haven't been to the good sport, the restaurant and bar inside of the Kempton Hotel, you're missing a bona fide spot to get cold drinks and watch sports. You need appetizers and wings. Just don't go there when my wife and I are there. because our two sons are going to be in tow, and we're going to probably drive you crazy with their rambunctiousness. Jack Russell Terriers,

Starting point is 00:36:45 with the Emmett Street Streetscape. The Emmett StreetScape. I think Judah Wickhauer gets the four-slot with the Ridge McIntyre Fifth Streetsgate. I think in the five slot is William McChesney's
Starting point is 00:37:07 Ivy Road streets gate. William McChesney, what is that street before it becomes Ivy Road, what is it called there? I'm so bad with road names. It used to be the Cavalier Inn as I'm going down past the Ivy Square Shopping Center,
Starting point is 00:37:23 passing the Data Center, the Data Science School, passing Shenandoah Joe's. What is that effing road called? Is it called Ivy Road right there? Come on, Judah, this is right up your alley. Shenandoah Joe's? Viewers, listeners, anyone?
Starting point is 00:37:39 You got it, Judah? No, not yet. What is it called? Whatever that road's called. Ivy Road. All right, Jesus is just going into a... I'm looking on maps. I'm looking on maps.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I'm not sure. We'll call it Ivy Road. Is it Ivy... William McChessy says it's Ivy Road, right there. So William McChesney, where the Cavalier Inn used to be, where the data science school is, where the UVA pickleball courts are going down toward the Borset at that traffic light. Once you pass that intersection, it's called Ivy Road.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Is that right? Bob Chata says Ivy. Bob Chata is the mayor of Birdwood and the vice mayor of Vavachi. Thank you, Bob Shada. Good to see you this past weekend.

We love you guys, viewers and listeners.
Starting point is 00:39:07 A lot of still have to talk about 45 minutes into the program. Doug Wright wants to know how much my derby car wait. I don't remember Doug Wright, but I do know that my brother and I, he was a, I was a wee blow, and my brother was the little ones, not the Cubs. It was a Cubs Scout. My brother was a Cubs Scout. No, I was, I won while I had the badge bear.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I was a bear, I believe. My brother was a Cub Scout, and we both won the Pinewood Derby. It's a proud moment for the Miller family. The same men, my brother and I and my father, who literally have a difficult time changing a light bulb. I said this the other day. There's three things that I'm good out in life. That's it.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Only three things. That's it. You know this. You've known me for 16 years. Only three things am I good at in life. Anything to do with repair or remodeling or fixing or machinery or equipment, I'm horrible at. Literally, horrible at. Can't even do a lightball.
Starting point is 00:40:15 But we won the Pinewood Durbin. The lead of the program, Judah Wickhauer, put the headline on screen. Where do you want to go with this? Sean Hannity is now covered the Abmar County Child Predator Sex Scandal. Did you see that? Yeah. I saw that cotton and... And Noah Coffin and Rob Schilling.
Starting point is 00:40:40 And Rob Schilling were both. Sean Hannity. Showing up. Talking about Almar County Public Schools. And now Almore County Public Schools, who is assigned multiple paid professionals to stream the I Love Seville show on a daily basis, has created a trauma center for the summer.
Starting point is 00:41:06 And at this trauma center, parents, students, anyone concerned could go to Journey Middle School. Which one is Journey? I don't know. Let's see. Is it kale that's now Mountain View? Is it Maryweather that's now Ivy?
Starting point is 00:41:29 Is it the lake side school that's not by a side of a lake? Journey was Jack Jewett. Oh, it was Jack Jewett. Okay, so let me understand something. We still have a Jack Jewett district where you vote. So on your voting card, you vote in the Jack Jewett District. And we still have a Jack Jewett District, Almore County Board of Supervisors' Representative.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Should we rename it? The socialist activist Sally Duncan is the representative of the Jack Jewett District. The district that is the least affluent of any of the six districts. districts at Almaro County, and the district that features the most amount of renters in Almaro County is the Jack Jewett District. So we have a Jack Jewett district where you vote and a Jack Jewett, Albarra County supervisor, but we don't have a Jack Jewett Middle School, Judah. I put the map.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Oh, the maps on screen? Yeah. Voting pretense. You're making the show better, Judah, what are? Jack Jewett is the green. Look at the screen, viewers, and listeners. Look at the screen. All right, here's a test to see if you, I've had.
Starting point is 00:42:37 asked you this question in the past. Let's see if you've learned from the show, Judah. Probably not. Let's see if you've learned. Is the map still on screen? Yeah. Look at the screen viewers and listeners. This is the six districts of Almaro County. This is where you live, how you vote. Which district with the map on screen is the most affluent of the six districts? I'm pretty sure that's Samuel Miller. God, Judah, there you go. I couldn't have told you if I wasn't looking at the map. Samuel Miller, that's,
Starting point is 00:43:08 that's the, that's the purple one? Yeah. The purple one, Samuel Miller is the most affluent of the six districts. It also has the largest individual land porceles
Starting point is 00:43:19 of the six districts. Yeah. Which district is the, uh, least affluent? Uh, didn't you say, didn't you say Jack Jewett?
Starting point is 00:43:30 Which district, Judah? Oh, I don't know. Which district is the least of fact? Jack Jewett. Which one, Judah? Jack Jewett? Are you sure about that, Judah? No, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Are you speaking with confidence and conviction, Judah? No, I'm not. Which one is it? I honestly don't know. I just said no. Jack Jewett. Good grief. Ask me if I'm sure enough times
Starting point is 00:43:50 and I'll say, no, I'm not. Jack Jewett, also the most amount of runners. So Alamara County Public Schools has got a trauma center at Journey Middle School. They launched it yesterday. They're streaming the show. The I Love Seasie.
Starting point is 00:44:07 This show this week got the principal Joe McCauley put on leave. The I Love Seville show this week asked the Admiral County Public Schools and the school board that are watching and listening to the show why you did not do a town hall for Woodbrook Elementary. We asked that Wednesday and on Thursday show. And after Thursday show, they said, we're going to open up. We're not going to do a Woodbrook town hall, but we will open a trauma center at Journey Middle School. I'm going to ask the Amar County School Board this question. Do you think you made a mistake by asking Dr. Chandra Hayes to be the interim superintendent, despite the fact that she's Matthew Haas's right-hand person and the champion for equity grading
Starting point is 00:44:55 and the champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion? I'm going to ask the Amher County School Board a second question. Are you going to communicate with parents why Mike Sweeney was a lot of? allowed to transfer from Woodbrook to Holly Me? How was he allowed to take a job at Holly Me? How is he allowed to take a job at Holly Me? Are you going to communicate with parents the proper protocols that were utilized to vet this man who had nasty allegations associated with his personal brand at a group home in Almaro County before taking the job at Woodbrook within ACPS? I'm going to ask the Almeral County Teacher Union this question.
Starting point is 00:45:38 they watch and listen to this show. Teacher union leaders, why the H.E. Double Hockey Sticks have you not issued a statement? Why is the teacher union not issued a statement? Is Mike Sweeney a paying member of your teacher union? Is Mike Sweeney a paying member of the Almore County Teacher Union? Educators Union. Why has the educators' union not issued a statement?
Starting point is 00:46:06 The silence says a thousand words. And frankly, I'm going to be very straightforward here. Does Judy Lee, the school board representative for the Rivana district on the Almar County School Board, need to resign? Judy Lee, should you resign? Judy Lee, why haven't you issued a statement? And Judy Lee, why didn't you speak at the Hallie town hall? Dotting the eyes and crossing the T's on this topic, a trauma center is now open at Journey Middle School where families, parents, kids, anyone associated with the kids, anyone associated with the T's T's on this topic. a trauma center is now open at Jury Middle School
Starting point is 00:46:45 where families, parents, kids, anyone associated with this child sex abuse scandal can what? Sing kumbaya and roast some marshmallows and strum the guitar. I mean, what are they doing here? I mean, I would imagine they're giving them a place to a single place where everyone can go and get information about this. So,
Starting point is 00:47:09 Mumbai my Lord. What are they doing? I don't know. Hershey squares the big martial ais and the graham crackers. I shouldn't make light of this. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:47:22 That is insensitive. A trauma center at a middle school not associated with either Woodbrook or Holly Me. A trauma center where you can get some trifolded pamphlets
Starting point is 00:47:40 and talk to and people. And now national news for the Amar County Public School System. Bill McChesney says it's tiger, wolf, bear, then we blow. Sorry, William McChesney. My brother was a tiger, a tiger scout. I must have been wolf or bear. I was not quite at wee blow because I quit right after I got my Weeblow badge. My brother quit when he was a bear, right as he got his bear. All right. Next topic on the show at the 123 marker on the Friday edition of the water cooler and content and conversation. We'll give some love to John Vermillion and Andrew Vermillion at Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. Gosh, these men are good men.
Starting point is 00:48:30 They're honest. They're communicative. They're hardworking. They do business the right way. The Vermillion way. If you have a swimming pool and you need guidance in any capacity on your swimming pool, the first phone call you should make is to John Vermillion. John Vermillion, anything swimming pool related.
Starting point is 00:48:47 even swimming pool construction, above ground or in-ground pool, you call John Vermillion. And if you have a question about a vacuum, vacuum repair, Bono wood floor product, anything cleaning supply related, anything water testing related,
Starting point is 00:49:04 you pick up the phone and call Andrew Vermillion. 62 years these men have been in business and God love the Vermilions. John and Andrew Vermillion. John and Andrew Vermillion. And if you're the, the city of Charlottesville and you're not prioritizing Charlestful sanitary supply for any of your sanitary and cleaning needs, you're doing a disservice to this community, Charlottesville City.
Starting point is 00:49:29 And shame on you if you're not prioritizing locally owned and operated businesses for your vendor and supply chain needs. 100%. If the city of Charlottesville in any capacity, if Almaro County in any capacity, if any jurisdiction in central Virginia is filling its supply chain needs with, businesses that are not associated in Charlottesville, in Almore, or the respective jurisdiction, shame on them. Because you can't take their tax dollars and then support them on the back end as well. Next topic, what do you got? We've got the 50th birthday schedule for the downtown mall. I think we talked about that. Yeah, we did a little bit. We've got Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman, I hope they're watching the program. Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman, I hope they're watching the program. Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman donated $5 million to UVA football, basketball, and women's basketball as well, Judah. Let's see. I think just, yeah. Man's basketball, women's basketball, football, right? Expanding women, Virginia women's sports as well. Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman are A-plus, plus.
Starting point is 00:50:48 people. They bleed orange and blue. They value athletics. My firm is 18 years old. I think Scott Wagner's practice is like 20 or 21 years old. When Scott Wagner was in the early stages of launching
Starting point is 00:51:04 his practice, when he was over there in the Seminole Square Shopping Center, was it by Maharaja, the restaurant over there? Yeah. He reached out to us to help gain market share with his practice, earn market share with this practice.
Starting point is 00:51:22 In my firm, one of our early, early, early, early clients was Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman. And I saw while working with these people, a couple committed to creating quality of life for Charlottesvilleans and Almar County and Central Virginians and anyone who would walk through their door. They honest, they're honest, they communicate, they're cutting edge, they're innovative. And Scott Wagner went from a small little retail space next to a Maharaja Indian restaurant to now owning that building where his medical practice is located behind Whole Foods. He's the owner of the Anytime Golf, Carl Sealman, one of the best guys in the world,
Starting point is 00:52:10 is the golf bro there. Good things happen to good people. And I am a firm believer of this. the harder I work, the luckier I get. There's a direct correlation with hard work and getting breaks that go your way. And I've watched Scott and Kristen firsthand, professionally and personally,
Starting point is 00:52:34 work their ass off. And now because of that hard work, they're philanthropic and giving back to this community to the tune of $5 million. One of the largest gifts. Let's read it from the press release. Oh, let's see. Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman of Advanced Pain Management of Virginia have pledged a 5 million gift to back Virginia athletics.
Starting point is 00:52:59 The donation will fund resources for the football and men's basketball program and support scholarships for the women's basketball program. It says something in there about one of the largest gifts. Let's see. The donation will be the largest gift in the history of the men's basketball. Listen to that. Fund and one of the largest gifts ever made to the Football Enhancement Fund. The largest gift in men's basketball enhancement fund in history from Scott Wagner and Kristen Norman. Props to them. Cudos to them. Hard work pays off. Do things the right way. Leave
Starting point is 00:53:48 the community in a better place than when you first arrived. Conscious capitalists running a business in the black while leaving the community in a better place because you're able to run your business in the black. $5 million. Scott and Kristen, Scott Rager and Kristen Norman, I salute you. And I'm grateful to have had you as a client. Next headline, what do you got you to Wickhauer? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:54:17 We've also got Louisa County. I had a seat next to Manning Woodward on the Louisiana County Board. of Supervisors on Real Talk with Keith Smith this morning. He's a Louisiana County supervisor. I should do an entire show on what I've seen on Louisiana County over the last 26 years. In August of this year, I will have lived in this community for 26 years. I arrived here as a first year at the University of Virginia. Old dorms, Davney 101, first year student, Jerry Miller, young, dumb, full of, blank, looking for trouble. Closing the bars down, partying girls, getting after it.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Now, a father, husband, two wonderful sons, a business that's 18 years old, literally have grown up in this community. And in the time of growing up here in 26 years, I've watched Louisiana County go from a sleepy little county where if you you passed through it and you didn't focus or you blinked you completely missed it. Now Louisa County is home to Zion's Crossroads. It's home to billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars invested from Amazon. Walmart distribution center, a lows that absolutely crushes it.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Spring Creek, that is one of the largest neighborhoods in all of central Virginia from a rooftop count standpoint, with a couple hundred empty lots still to develop owned by Dicehammer. Louisiana County Public Schools, they managed COVID and the pandemic better than any school system in central Virginia, the first to return to in-person learning. Louisiana County Schools, with Doug Strayley as the athletic director and the late great Mark Fisher's, the head football coach, they used football and athletic success to galvanize a community around Lion Nation. In that sense of pride
Starting point is 00:56:24 around Lion Nation, that almost localism tied to football in Louisiana County Athletics, drove economic development, drove volunteerism, drove positive activism. The ideology at Louisiana County
Starting point is 00:56:40 is one of fiscal responsibility. Manning Woodward on Real Talk with Keith Smith this morning said in a couple of years, they're not going to have any personal property taxes. Because of the revenue collection associated with the data centers is so significant, they're
Starting point is 00:56:56 going to offer a tax olive branch to residents and say, you know what, we don't want your money from your personal property. We'll give you a break on your real estate taxes as well. I have not seen a jurisdiction in my 26 years living here this
Starting point is 00:57:13 August that has had a more positive about face or 180 than Louisiana County. Not a single one. and that's because you have leadership that is physically responsible. You have a school system that understands there's no place for politics and all the political landmines that these other school systems are struggling with. You're not seeing any rebranding.
Starting point is 00:57:40 You're not seeing any sex trauma centers. You're seeing in-person learning. You're not seeing any equity grading, any DEI at that school system. You're seeing get to school on time, keep bus drivers employed, keep the kids safe, make sure they play sports, make sure they do their homework, and then graduate. You're seeing an economic ecosystem that is effing thriving. Government is throttling real estate development over there.
Starting point is 00:58:12 They're not doing sprawl. Tip of the cap to Louisiana County. I sincerely enjoyed meeting Manny Woodward, and I love Fitzger. Gerald Barnes, the Louisiana County supervisor, who was one of the guys 18 years ago, 20 years ago, that told me to start this business. One of the only people. What else is on the Dockon on the Friday edition of Real Talk with Keith Smith? Friday edition of The I Love Seville Show.
Starting point is 00:58:39 We just did Real Talk with Keith Smith. I think we're near the end. I would add that this is all about Louisa is not necessarily a shout-out for, data centers, they chose, they decided that it was right for them. And as you've pointed out, they've done an amazing job and made it work for them and their constituency. But that doesn't mean that it's right for every county. And I didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I know. I know. I'm just pointing out that this is not necessarily a, you know, a cheerleading for, for data centers. They can be good things, but we shouldn't think that they belong everywhere. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. I thought you did a phenomenal job and you kicked some ass today. Thank you. See, I Love Seville Show. You see what the show is all about. Jason Hampshire, welcome to the show. Love running into you. Ray Cadell, welcome to the show, love running into you. Got every media outlet in town watching the program. Claire Turney, Bob Yarborough,
Starting point is 00:59:53 Carly Wagner, Vanessa Park Hill, Lonnie Murray, Jeremy Rowe, Don Gathers, Jeff Bibb, Jason Howard, Rob Neal, just to name a few watching the program. I got elected officials in Charlottesville, Admiral County, Nelson County, Orange County, Louisiana County watching the program. Got attorneys, we got judges, you got delegates watching the program. And you know why you guys watch? This is why you guys watch the program, okay? You guys watch the program because we're honest, we're true to ourselves, we're unaffiliated, unabashed, and unafraid with our commentary, and we talk about stuff that is real. Don't blow smoke up your ass because you're too smart and you know when people are doing that.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Judah Wickhauer, my name is Jerry Miller. For the fathers that are out there, happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day. Nothing better in life than being a father at least. for me. Best, hardest thing ever, the longest, shortest thing ever, being a father. My wife, wonderful woman, getting our
Starting point is 01:01:05 three-year-old ready today. Three-year-old had a paintbrush, one of those thin paintbrushes in his hands, with the really thin bristles in it, like the delicate paintbrushes that are really for fine detail. Has it in his hand. She's putting his pants on. He then
Starting point is 01:01:23 puts his shirt on. I don't know what he's going to do. Jabs the paintbrush stem and handle into my wife's nose through her nostril without her looking as she's putting her clothes on. Putting his three-year-old shirt on.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Oh, man. Jabs it into literally her nostril. Blood dripping everywhere this morning. Our three-year-old was not sure what he did. He did, I'm sorry, Mom. Gave her a hug.
Starting point is 01:01:54 But that's how we woke up this morning in the Miller House. Parenthood is the best hardest thing ever and the longest shortest thing ever. You can't live without them except for the days where they grab, where they ram a paintbrush stem into your nostril and pierce your brain. Happy Father's Day to all those that are out there. And the moms, especially my wife, mother of our two sons, we love you dearly. For Judah Wickhauer, I'm Jerry Miller.
