Good Tuesday afternoon, guys. I'm Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the I Love Seville Show. It's an absolute pleasure to connect with you guys through the water cooler of content conversation. The number one media platform in Charlestville, that lower third on screen and throughout the show, if you could, please, sir. I'm excited for today's program. We just did a hell of an interview this morning. If you missed the Jerry and Jerry show with Jerry Rackleff and yours truly, our guest was Rick Carlisle. He's the head coach of the NBA's Indiana Pacers. He is a rock star, Rick Carlisle. He is one of just a handful of people that have won an NBA championship as a player and a coach. He is one of just a handful of people that have won more than a thousand games as a head coach in the NBA. He was the co-captain of a UVA basketball team that made it to the final four. and he is now built a house in the Charlottesville area, his daughter a fourth year at the University of Virginia,

and he and his wife are spending a lot of the off-season here in the Charlottesville area, including the last two months. So this list of star-studded celebrities that live in the community, and, I mean, folks, we know who they are. I mean, The Longs, John Grisham, you know, living in the area, Dave Matthews was here last week. Tony Bennett, I think you got absolutely put on that list. Now includes Rick Harlisle, a guy who, without question,

is going to be in the NBA Hall of Fame. And a guy that continues to this day to represent the University of Virginia to the highest of standards. If you've missed the interview that we did with Rick Carlisle, it's archived wherever you get your podcasting and social media content. It's one of the best. interviews we have done, period bar none in the history of folks, the I Love Seville Network. A lot I want to cover on the broadcast today, very newsy-oriented show today.

There is the Jarecho from yesterday that is still, I think, impacting our community. Much of Ehrlichville in northern Almorea County has been peppered by this, by this. Judas says it's not by definition of DeRajo, but it was a sudden impact storm that hit the community quickly. And much like storms, whether torrential thunderstorm, wind gusts, snow, or ice, and this very wooded community climate ecosystem we live in, power lines are down and thousands of central Virginians are without power. As VDOT and their respective electric companies, whether Dominion, Central Virginia, electric co-op, whoever is your electric provider, are struggling to return power back to homes locally for those affected.

We'll talk about that on the program today. I want to discuss on the show. AstraZeneca now with a new estimation of incremental jobs created locally. This broke late last week. I should have frankly probably covered it on yesterday's show I did not. AstraZeneca has pinpointed the number to jobs created once they're up and running fully, direct and indirect. at 3,600 jobs tied to global Titan Astrozenica building their global headquarters in northern Alamara County, 3,600 jobs.

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll talk about that on the program, as community members now must prepare themselves for the positive of 3,600 new jobs and the potential collateral damage. I see this is a tremendous opportunity for Charlottesville, Almoreal County and Central Virginians to potentially corner these new jobs. Now, if you're going to do that, you need to get on the stick like right now if you want some of these gigs in some of these jobs, including the roughly 600 to 1,000 very high paying jobs that will be soon to come to the area. Asherzeneca expects to be up in fully running, ladies and gentlemen, in early 2029, we do a lot of business in real estate. And currently the C-suite and right below C-suite, let's call it the upper management, if you may. Upper management, we'll call, is currently shopping for homes in Charlottesville and Elmorrow County.

A number of realtors that we have drinks with, you know, see around the squash courts, if you may, have indicated that they are actively kicking the tires of homes locally for the first level of team members that are going to be moving to the area. We'll talk about that on the program today. I also want to talk 501 Cherry Avenue. The project is scheduled to break ground later this fall. They do not have an operator for the grocery store. No surprise there. But the project will break ground later this fall. We have the Salvation Army that is basically pleading for financial support.

There's 21 days left in the Salvation Army Capital Campaign, 21, and they're $6.3 million short for a high barrier shelter, a high barrier shelter that without question is needed. I got a text message from Conan Owen. this morning. He's the owner of Surfeedia, Central Virginia. He's a Darden graduate. Conan Owen and Surfeedia, Central Virginia are who you contact for anything and everything signage-related. That's who does the work for our tenant portfolio and some of the positions that were helping strategize and fill around Charlottesville and Amar County. He texted me earlier this morning

and he's a man about town about the houseless that have returned to the vestibule in the downtown mall. He counted at least six that are back to sleeping downtown. And it's no surprise. We have a deadline of September 1, which, that deadline to get off tent town is now three weeks away. And City Hall has now said on the record, any tent town tenants who do not leave by September 1

will be arrested and prosecuted. I'm curious to see if that's an empty threat or an action. will be coming. I'm surprised they went that far from the right off the bat. Very, very clear that if you're a town tenant after September 1, you will be arrested and prosecuted.

Let's see if that materializes. We'll talk about that on the program today. The local radio group, the Charlottesville radio group who's rebranded itself as Seville Media Group has a story on its platform today. about the future of local news and asked the question, I thought this was very authentic of them.

The question that Civo Media Group on its website right now is asking viewers, listeners, and readers, why do people not trust broadcast news anymore? With the rise of terms like fake news and the increased perceived bias in the media, how do news organizations like ours find their way back into the public's good graces, and how can they help in a changing world?

Then they reference in the story, which was written by Marshall Lamert, who's an on-air personality and producer over at the local radio group, that there's entities locally in Charlottesville, online personalities. Let me read it verbatim. Viewers and listeners and readers

are passing broadcasts, news in favor of internet personalities. Internet personalities. I think that was an interesting description of what we were doing here, Marshall's terminology, internet personalities. But Seville Radio, Seville Media Group is now asking

what can we do to regain the trust, the viewership and listenership of our community? The daily progress, I'm going to be straightforward. It's public record, the daily progress. Its subscribership, the last I looked, was under 3,500 paying subscribers.

Deep Throat, if you're watching the program, if you don't mind doing the small favor of me and giving me an actual subscriber count for the daily progress. I'd be very curious. That's why you're literally watching and listening to the number one media platform here, the I Love Seville Network, in the Charlottesville and Central Virginia region, and it's not even close. And on that note, I'd love to give some attention to snow. Snow knows outdoor living. This business started in 1912 with Leroy and Maggie Snow,

and it's grown into a legacy of designing and building some of Central Virginia's most distinguished outdoor spaces. Snow knows outdoor living is a garden center that we know down Avon extended that has proudly served this community. But their outdoor living team is just absolutely phenomenal with hardscaping, landscape design, with so much seasonal guarding care. And they're going to do a project, Snow Nose, with our family house in Ivy, where we're going

to take an area that is a fire pitted, dedicated area that's got mulch. It's got a little stone area for a fire pit, some rock around it, and we're going to take it to a different, completely different level with patio and seating and a, and a fire pit and some stonework around our swimming pool. And we're going to document that here on the I Love Seville Network from start to finish. My wife will play a part on this. I know she's very excited to play a part of this, sweetheart. So be on the lookout for that. We're very excited to work with Snow Nose here on the I Love Seville Show. Carol Thorpe, I'll get to your comments. William Chesney, I'm going to get to your comments. Steve Smith and Vicki Musselman, I'm going to get

to your comments. We have print, radio, and television watching the show. Carly Wagner. the Titan of Troy, the gentleman farmer, Jay Wyant, is watching the program. Travis Wilburn, the hospitality entrepreneur, Katie Mullins, the talented, talented real estate agent. Brent Lillard, the chief executive officer of GovSmart, who has a need for speed. And Brent Lillard can handle a race car with the best of them. I mean, that guy's a fantastic driver. Connie Sylvester from your church is watching the program. Anyone who's everyone is watching the show.

Judah Wickcar, studio camera, and then a two-shot. as we welcome household name, Jack of All Wits, Jack of All Trades, Judah Whitty Wickcower on the program today. So you're saying it was not a Jarecho yesterday, Judah Wickhauer? I don't believe it was. Let's see, just a second. Not a Jorachio. The man clearly prepared here for the I Love Seville show,

despite us starting the same way every single day. And I kid because I care here. The intensity of the storm has knocked down trees all over northern Almore County, especially in the Eurleysville area, with key arteries into Charlottesville from Ehrlichville as of this morning completely blocked by fallen trees and limbs and power lines down all around Al Morrow and Central Virginia with thousands currently without power. But we're not calling it a Doratio. So here are some of the key characteristics that make up a duratio. Part of it is, as you mentioned, wind speed. If they reach a minimum of 58 miles per hour, Gus can exceed 100 miles per hour,

but I think 58 is the limit, I mean the lower limit. And I think a bigger part is the damage path. It extends across a continuous path typically over and get this, 240 to 400 miles. Now, I heard that this may have done some damage in Ohio, So it may actually have the distance, the length for the path. But I think there was some question about whether the winds were reaching that speed across the entire length of it, which may disqualify it.

Ginny Who, thoughts. Conan Owen, thoughts. Ginny Hu has got some contributions on the demise of legacy news. She says, and then you have the CIVO Weekly, Ginny Who's photo on screen, asking for donations to keep printing. CIVO Weekly cites costs of $26,245 per week. Ginny Who says, me thinks they should pay attention to the responses to that question and the fact that they're consistently soliciting for donation.

I mean, maybe we start with that. And viewers and listeners, Coden Owen, I'll get to your comments. Look, my background is legacy media. Before my third year at the University of Virginia, the summer prior to my third year, I walked in to the Daily Progress Newsroom on Ryo Road, proverbial hat in hand, to a newsroom, and basically begged Jerry Rackleaf for an opportunity to write in his sports department. Without having any sports clips or resume chops whatsoever, I presented him with

two creative writing essays that I had authored for my N-WR class at the University of Virginia. So how I got a job was a one-page essay and a two-page essay that had nothing to do with sports. I printed them out, gave them to Hootie, and I said, may I please work for you, sir? He was as humble, I will always be loyal, grateful, thankful to Jerry Rackleff. He saw a 20-year-old with zero experience and gave him an opportunity. And that chance working in the sports department, the Daily Progress, helped shape much of my future, parlayed that position into syndicated talk radio show, the Jerry Miller show on 13 affiliates and three states,

two television shows on NBC29, all while writing five days a week for the Daily Progress and freelancing for a number of publications. I've talked about this on the show. My background is legacy radio, but like a lot of industries, and, you know, there's industries that we could name, I mean, countless industries that have not evolved,

that have not kept up. We have a gentleman that comes to our office, for example, once a month, he's a door-to-door lightbulb salesman. Literally door-to-door selling light bulbs. The light bulbs in our studio, $200 high-power light bulb with the whitest, brightest light, perfect for a studio like this shining directly down on me, were purchased, A, because we need to be. needed it for the studio and be out of, you know, being straightforward a little bit of guilt for a door-to-door, light bulb salesman that I wanted to support. Empathy. It's probably a better word.

Okay. Empathy is a much better word. Empathy is a better word. These same product types are purchasable online at more affordable clips and delivered to our office building the next day. Okay. There's a number of industries that haven't kept up. Legacy is clearly one. So when Charlottesville Media Group has a story authored by Marshall Lamert and published this morning, why do people not trust broadcast news and ask the questions, how does our news organization find its way back into the public's good graces, and ask what is the future for us? And many of us are extremely concerned. with what we're doing in this industry and then basically says it looks like Charlottesville and I'm on Central Virginia prefer a concise Twitter post and

internet personalities that are passing them news that is clearly a reference to Judah Wickhauer and yours truly we asked the question what does the industry's future look like we know that the daily progress is its subscribership paying is probably under 3,000 paying subscribers. And remember, its content is behind a paywall. So if it only has 3,000 or less subscribers, that means less than 3,000 people are reading the content in the daily progress. The CIVO Weekly has given up its office on the downtown mall. It's now the interim office for Howard Hanna. Howard Hanna is the real estate entity that merged with Roy Wheeler. Roy Wheeler, its headquarters for a generation, if not longer, next to what, Ednam and the Borsad,

and that big white mansion, right? Now it has an interim office here on the downtown mall, Howard Hannah, Roy Wheeler, as it prepares its final landing point headquarters, the old Keller and George Jewelers location behind Barrichs Road Shopping Center. That's where Howard Hannah, Roy Wheeler is going to move to. It's currently being retrofitted and remorse. modeled the old Keller and George location behind Barrett's Road Shopping Center in the Milmont area, the Milmont Street.

Okay. Seville Weekly has given up that office. Daily Progress is hybrid remote. CBS19 is no longer at Ix. It's by the putt putt and the tractor, the heavy-duty tractor business on Rio Road. NBC29 is clinging for dear life. I've heard through the real estate brokerage grapevine that serious talk is being given to NBC29

exiting that location. And the primary concern with exiting that location is the satellites, the towers, the broadcast equipment, and the ridiculous costs it would entail to move it. CBS19 did that from Ix over there, going from Kijin and Kootner's X to Ryo next to the Putt putt.

No, the radio group is now the media group with Seville, old saga communications, as they're basically looking to secure client spend and allocate said client spend into more of a digital, mobile, local search strategy, and away from just airing commercials on air, I'm here to tell you as someone who's owned an advertising agency. I think the longest, now that Susan Payne's advertising agency, Payne Ross, which then rebranded to the Blue Ridge Group, I think the longest-standing, tenured advertising agency in Charlottesville and Central Virginia is ours at VMV brands

and the Miller organization with more than 18 consecutive years of service. And those are facts on facts. The media group is now basically looking to be the ministerial. middleman for client advertising dollars as they outsource their advertising dollars to another entity to manage their digital social media and search brand. You and I both know that is a heavy lift. Helping clients with digital, local, mobile search is hard work. And they're outsourcing that.

They secure the business, outsource it to a third party. Much easier just to have commercials on air and get, here's 25 commercials. here's a monthly cost for those 25 commercials and collect a check every month. So this is a very wild landscape we're heading into. We knew this before COVID with what we were doing with the I Love Civo show and this media platform we've created. When the pandemic hit, I, without question, my antenna and my entrepreneurial chutzpah, the radar was going off at very high clips saying this is how we can really gain market share.

And that's when the I Love Seville Network really, really took off. So they're asking, and I'll ask you the question. Then I'll ask you the question, viewers and listeners. But first you, Judah, Ginny Who, Conan Owen, any viewer and listener that's watching the program, I'm going to ask you this question. How do they regain trust and regain viewership, listenership, and readership? Or is this the quintessential dying dinosaur? Is this the quintessential yellow pages?

Is this the quintessential pay phone that costs the court? the home telephone is what happening to broadcast and print news, the dying dinosaur, Judah Wickhauer. I think it probably is. I mean, I'd like to say that there are ways that they could get that trust back, but I don't know if that's possible. I don't know if they have the money to hire people that can do that. I don't know if the owners would allow it, because, I think one of the main problems, at least when I'm looking at news across various media formats, is that it's one-sided. I don't want somebody's opinion on the news if I'm looking for news on a subject. I don't want, you know, Joe whoever.

We give our opinions here. I'm playing devil's advocate with you. This is an entire commentary and opinion-based show in it. It's the top platform in the community. But I think that's what saves us in one sense is that we're not pretending to be fair and balanced, so to speak. And so, you know, we pretty much wear our biases on our sleeves. Whereas you can guess with most news organizations, whether they lean left or right, you know, you can take a look at our own local news organizations. and in general you can kind of get a sense which direction they lean

but then I think there's also the problem with some of our local organizations that they're not offering a whole lot of information and so at that point it doesn't matter whether they lean left or right or don't lean at all it's not really helpful information to begin with so I think that in order to gain trust

First, you've got to provide enough of the story that you are clearly showing, you know, the various sides of whatever the argument is. And you've got to present it in a way that leaves out your own bias. And that's not easy to do. And I don't know if news organizations are even hiring people like that in favor of hiring people that write the stories that the news organization wants to be written, whether it's, you know, the news organization is predominantly hired. You know what? One of the primary characteristics that news organizations are basing their hiring upon, will they work on the cheap?

Especially in a market like Charlottesville. Will they work on the cheap? That's what... That doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about here. Well, it does because someone who's willing to work on the cheap, 10 or 14, 13, 15 dollars an hour, when they're on the news or writing for the newspaper or speaking to the community on a radio frequency, if they're working on the cheap, they're either extremely green and inexperienced,

which means they don't have the institutional knowledge, nor do they have the sources to develop the content that would engage readers. Or they don't have the, for lack of better phrase, the talent. And that's why they're working on that rate to try to develop the talent profile that attracts a better paying employer. I remember when working for NBC29, they were hiring immediate out of college talent. and this immediate out of college talent, ladies and gentlemen, was told in their interviews, you will probably need a part-time job, you will certainly need roommates,

you're not going to have weekends, you will work nights and holidays, and you'll smile doing it. And they wonder after 18 or 24 months why that talent leaves to a bigger market. Why we've lost the Matt Tileheims, the Henry Graham, if you weigh. The Daily Progress has lost so much talent to the Richmond Times dispatch or to the University of Virginia. I mean, UVA. Brian McKenzie, McGregor McCants, White Law Reed, Andrew Joyner, all at University of Virginia in some kind of content production. I think it's a chicken and an egg scenario. They cannot

hire the talent without having the advertising revenue in play, but they can't get the advertising revenue and play because the talent's not there to command the listenership that drives the advertising, the viewership, the readership that drives the advertising dollars. Yeah. It's, I think, a world where you're going to see the Jerry Rackcliffs of the world at Jerry Rackleft.com, $8 a month, Judah, at Jerry Rackcliffe.com, get you 50 pieces of content.

That's, you're going to subscribe to a Jerry Rackleft for UVA sports coverage. You'll get 50 pieces of content a month from him. What Sean Tubbs is doing is phenomenal. phenomenal. Sean Tubbs is covering, you know, zoning and government and nuanced topic matter. Some would call it dry, but what he is doing and the volume, the prolific nature of what he's doing is absolutely tremendous. If he had a someone that was running the business side of it, his model would absolutely take off. It's a one band. It's a one man shop. If he had a, if he had a, a someone. at someone that had the business of it could really take off. You got what we're doing that, you know, I think is leading the charge straightforwardly. And that's what we're going to get. So to answer their question that I'm going to get your comments in the mix here before we go to the next topic, how do you regain the public's trust? How do you regain the public's trust?

I think it's going to take sizable capital investment that none of these companies are willing to do to regain the trust because you're going to need talented reporters to develop sources, institutional memory and knowledge to create the kind of content that people are willing to pay for and change their habits and their human behavior. And right now our habits and human behavior are when we get in our vehicles, we're listening to podcasts, we're listening to The I Love Seville Show, Spotify, and Pandora. And when we get into our house, into our home, if we're not streaming Netflix or Amazon, Prime or Paramount Plus or Peacock, then we're watching YouTube on our phones and we're catching

local personalities like The I Love Seville Show. And when we want to read something, it's no longer go to the newsstand to get what we're reading. It's open up our phone and go to the sites that have the content creators that we have a relationship with. Rackcliffe's got 50 years of history. Sean Tubbs has got a generation of history locally. He used to work for Seville tomorrow. He'd work for Piedmont Environmental Council.

Now he's on his own and doing a hell of a job. Right? So I don't see what their future is. And I, as someone who manages a lot of client dollars, our firm does, we're solicited constantly by these legacy media reps. And oftentimes the solicitation is done by a new rep that I never met or heard of. And oftentimes the solicitation is a short one, non-persistent one and not effective one.

Viewers and listeners, let us know your thoughts. I'll put them in the feed and I'll relay them live on air. Let's go to Jeremy Wilson, who's watching in Eastern Tennessee, literally watching the I Love Seville show in Eastern Tennessee. Jeremy Wilson, I think TV radio and print is dead. Cable and satellite is dying due to their extremely high prices and popularity of their streaming services. 100%.

I mean, look at what we do at home. wife and I at home, it's Netflix, Paramount Plus, Peacock. Peacock doesn't cost anything, does it? Peacock costs, it's a nominal fee. Okay.

Peacock, and I believe Apple TV. Those are the ones. We'll sign up for a CBS sports during the season, if needed. Our kids, if it was their druthers, YouTube all day.

Wouldn't even care about the television. It would be a phone in their hand, an iPad in their hand, and YouTube. Doom scrolling. They'd take that all day, every day. I mean, a Netflix is going to have to continue to evolve. As people's attention spans get shorter. Right. I think that's something that should worry all of us, not just in terms of...

A two-hour movie? What media we... Yeah. not to mention an actual article. Right. With more than, you know, more than a paragraph and a half. One of the best writers that watches this program locally is Hank Martin. He's got a comment.

Hank's got fantastic words to offer. Yeah. Hank writes long. My suggestion to Hank, who's phenomenally intelligent, phenomenally talented with words, is write shorter. I read everything. I don't read as long as he's writing. The short span, the attention span has changed. That's human behavior.

He's got a comment, extremely intelligent individual. Local media will garner credibility only when they actually report news, dive into subjects, and ask the hard questions. Most local media in this community is merely a PR agency for the local government and institutional press releases that are simply regurgitated. How to find its way back? Just do what you once did. the truth and let the people analyze it for themselves. And that's why what we do works.

That's exactly. That's 100% true because oftentimes when I go looking for, you know, I find a news story, I open it up. And then I've got to go, and then I've got to go Google any number of other things to explain, you know, questions that I have. Right. About the story. Like, wait a minute. What about this? What about that? You know, you're not telling me everything. I feel like there's stuff missing here. And it's not even, you know, it's not even mentioned. It's not even like, oh, this story is ongoing. It's just here's some information.

And that's it. And oftentimes it's sadly lacking. John Blair watching the program. He says, I'd say there's now five people who drive Charlottesville Almaron News at this point. What we're doing here on the I Love Seville show, Sean Tubbs, Hall Spencer, Jerry Rackliff, and Mike Barber. That's it. There's five entities that are driving news locally. Our show, Sean Tubbs, Hall Spencer, Jerry Rackleff, and Mike Barber. He's right. He's right. And I'm going to tell you right now, a guy like Mike Barber, Mike Barber, I hope you're watching and listening to this show.

someone tag a Mike Barber of Seville right now Mike Barber are you watching and listening to this show I hope you do Mike Barber you we could help you if you wanted to do this and this is me offering you know upside and opportunity here we could help you create a media brand Mike Barber that you would own

completely tied to subscribership and a couple of select advertisers that would vastly surpass your compensation at Saga Communications and the fact that you're having to churn four, five, six pieces of content per day while also being on the radio. If you want to talk about that, my DMs and inboxes are open. We could build a brand completely around you, a podcast completely around you, and sell

subscribership at about eight bucks a month with a couple of select advertisers and your take home pay over the course of a year would be double or triple what you're making right now at saga communications. And why I can speak to that is because I've seen what we've done with Jerry Rackcliffe, what we're doing with the I Love Civo brand, and the new content creator that we're about to launch, we have a meeting tomorrow at 9.15 a.m. to showcase the brand, the platform, and what we've built for him. 915 tomorrow, J-Dubs.

I sincerely mean that, Mike Barber. Now being told that the radio group is watching the program. All right, that's the lead of the show. Another headline we have to get to is the Astrozenica storyline. 3,600 is the number. Put that lower third on screen, Judah. 3,600 new jobs created with AstraZeneca, with 600 to 1,000 of them being of the highly skilled high-paying.

Where do you want to begin on that one, J-dubs? Not really sure. I mean, that's obviously going to create some, you know, we've talked about the housing issue, but they're obviously going to have hard time finding spots in Charlottesville. We're just going to have to wait and see, I think. Is someone making half a million dollars a more going to have a hard spot, hard time finding a spot in Charlottesville? I mean, just because they've got a lot of money doesn't mean

hundreds of houses are going to open up for sale. Unless they take those houses from others that are currently shopping for them that don't have that financial means. That still presupposes that all those, that 3,600 houses are magically going to open up in the Charlottesville market. Okay, fair. Important emphasize that 3,600 are not all high-paying.

jobs. 600 to a thousand are estimated in the high paying clip with the starting wage of those 600 to 1,000 at $125,000 a year, starting wage for those 600 to 1,000. So let's take that 3,600 new jobs created with AstraZeneca that's going to come online in early 2029. So we are T minus what, two and a half years away from that being fully operation in Amaro County. Okay, call it two years less than two and a half years. Okay. It gives the Almoreal County, the Charlottesvillian,

the central Virginia runway to try to corner some of these jobs. Now, the 600 to 1,000 jobs are going to require some resume chops and credentials. You're not going to go into a biotechnology field

without understanding some, without having some kind of laboratory, biotechnology, basic experience. Yeah. Okay. We're degree related, but you have an opportunity to try to get ahead here.

I do think that it is going to have a significant impact, ladies and gentlemen, significant impact on the housing market. I think if you are considering purchasing a house in any capacity, any capacity, now or next year, you move forward with that because it's not going to get more affordable, especially Al Morrow and Green specifically. This is right on the Green County line. There's a reason Stanley Martin Holmes, Stanley Martin Holmes is a partner of the show, Judah Woodcower. They've built 600 homes in the last 24 months locally. They're bringing hundreds of new homes to market in Green County, hundreds of homes to market in Green County. You follow the developers, you follow the builders. That is the old adage. And if the developers and builders

are building in this area, then ladies and gentlemen, you know that they have expectations that they're going to close some deals. Hank Martin watching the program. He says this. Ultimately, only approximately 600 permanent

jobs will remain. The economy may get a temporary high, but he's skeptical long term once the facility comes online. I'll respectfully push back with handsome Hank here. And what's going to happen when the AstraZeneca facility does come online is you're going to see a lot of tertiary tertiary. Secondary impacts.

And the secondary impacts are the businesses that latch onto AstraZeneca. That, I think, is going to be the true impact for the economy, the secondary impact of businesses that latch onto AstraZeneca when calling this their home. And this is what they're going to do. They're going to say this. Talent coming from Paul Manning Biotech Institute that we can hire. Global headquarters of AstraZeneca. And the biotechnology Beltway that features Merck and Eli Lilly all within one hour and change of each other, this biotechnology beltway.

And the quality of life that's through the roof. We had Rick Carlyle on the Jerry and Jerry show this morning. Rick Carlisle said we've built a home here. And we're calling this our second home. because the quality of life is fantastic in Charlottesville. He talks about the restaurants. He talks about the outdoors. He talks about the stuff to do.

You mentioned nightlife. Mention all the fantastic people here. Nightlife. Nightlife. Mentioned all right. Restaurants are nightlife, don't you think? Not in Charlottesville. What type of nightlife are you talking about?

There's a music scene. You don't think there's night life? What would you do with nightlife? You're saying the nightlife could be vastly improved as a single man? Oh, yeah, 100%. Well, have you considered any of the dating apps? Have you seen a dating app lately? I have not seen a dating app.

I'm happily married man. What is that reference to? Just from what I've seen, it's dating apps are not, like most things, they're there to sell a product. And in this case, the product is pretty much doom scrolling. if they if everybody got a date the first time they got on the app the app would uh would end up in the trash heap that's quite pessimistic view but it's true people have success with the dating apps occasionally i don't have numbers but i would imagine that it's a minuscule amount compared to uh to all the uh the dating app downloads i don't know that percentage but i there's

numerous success stories. There's always an exception to every rule. Fair? Fair. Bill McChesney highlights Neil Williamson as one that should be on that short list that John provided. He said to Judah's point, not since Max and tracks have closed, can we say there's nightlife in Charlottesville? Yeah. This is coming from William McChesney that is knocking on the door of 65 years old, however. Not to mention the mayor of McIntyre. The Outback? I remember going to see shows at the Outback. Outback Lodge on Preston Avenue was a fantastic.

classic spot. Shows at tracks. I mean, so much. You could go to the Southern. Yeah. You could go to Rapture. You could go to Millers. You could go to the whiskey jar.

Those are all age-appropriate. I've been to the Millers occasionally, not very often. But, you know, there were, there was far more, what's the word I'm looking for, variety. And now you, you know, you named three or four different different, different, different, musical venues. And I don't think there's a whole lot of variety even across those. I mean, obviously, Millers is doing a lot of jazz, and they've got some great jazz players there.

But, you know, walking by, I don't even remember what's called. The place next to, it used to be the taco place on the downtown mall. There's that theater. Cinema Taco. Yeah, what's the name of the theater? The Jefferson Theater. The Jefferson, yeah. Like, I walk by there, and I look at the names, and I'm like,

you know, I'm not attracted to any of those bands. You know, there's just, I feel like there's a fairly narrow, a narrow band of talent that makes its way to the Charlottesville stages. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received, is this. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. So you're saying go find music that you don't like? Step outside your comfort zone. I would say this straightforwardly. Perhaps no one knows you better than me. 16 hours of 40 plus hour weeks, 16 years of 40 plus hour weeks, right? And you are, I would say, a creature of habit.

Yeah. You'd give me that? For the most part. Most of us aren't. Not true. Getting comfortable, being uncomfortable, would be broadening your horizon. Okay. Just a suggestion. I don't know what that has to do with... I think you have... You would find the whiskey jar in Millers and the Southern in some of these shows at the Jefferson, even some of the shows at Rapture,

You would enjoy them. I might. But just got to give them a shot, is what I'm saying. It's like activity breeds activity. Like there's a very unique position. I'm not going to say which one, real estate-wise, which we helped, which we fill. It was a unique position that was vacant for, 18 months to 24 months, probably 24 months.

You know which one it is. We're not going to utilize the reference. Eight offices, you will, once I start describing. An entire floor. The most challenging one to lease, we went with the individual executive model, was the first one. But once the first one was in play, the second one was a little bit easier. When the second and the first one were in play, the third one was a little bit easier.

And then they followed suit extremely quickly. Activity breeds activity is what I'm saying. Put yourself in an active environment where there's activity. Deep throats watching the program. He says the developers, and he's mentioning Stanley Martin here, know that someone working at North Point or Injic or around there will want to live there and not in Seville City. I agree. I think the housing pockets that are going to see the most activity, activity breeds activity, is going to be Green County, Northern Almarrow, and the housing. IV area. Those are the ones that are going to really pop because of this talent that's coming to AstraZeneca directly and the indirect talent that's going to be on the AstraZeneca ecosystem,

if you may. Okay. No question about it. I think you're going to see Green County Public Schools a decade from now, 15 years from now. I made this comparison before COVID, before COVID. Green County Public Schools Today are what Crozee public schools were 25 years ago. Green public schools are on the cusp of being upper middle class attended public schools.

They don't have the infrastructure in play for the demand that's coming and the student population that's heading to Green County public schools. Just like Western Amarro does. Did not. Western Ambrough did not have that. You look at Henley, You look at Western, you look at Crozay, you look at Brownsville, they're bursting. They are bursting. I had a conversation with an extremely prominent real estate broker.

I'm not going to say who. Extremely prominent real estate broker. And this individual, this real estate broker was touring real estate with a heavy hitter client. And the heavy hitter client said, I want to see real estate that is in the Louisiana County area. and the broker had the conversation, Louisiana County, out of curiosity, why the Louisiana County area

for the real estate you want to see? And this individual was going to spend knocking on the door, seven figures for this house. And the client told the broker who passed it on to me because Louisiana County schools are where we want our kids.

They said, Louisiana County schools. And they said, how they rebounded from COVID, the student that's now attending, Louisiana County Schools, two-parent households, the performance SOLs, Louisiana County Schools speak for themselves, the lack of politics in Green County Schools, the lack of landmines.

They mentioned Doug Strayley, the superintendent, the focus on athletics, and the conservative ideology, not politics, but playing it close to the vest, welcoming the parent and wanting the parents to be present, attracted them to Louisiana County. schools. And this is a two-income upper-class household that's well above the $140,000 area median income that's saying this. That could pick just about everywhere else, anywhere they want in Central Virginia to pick, because that's where they both work. But instead, we want Spring Creek, we want Louisiana County Public Schools. And somewhat of that financial means that targets the Spring Creek gated community can buy the nicest home in Spring Creek. This is a gated

community that's built around golf, live, work, play, swimming, golf carts, workouts, restaurant, like the quintessential gated community. But at a price point that is not Ednam, at a price point that's not Farmington, at a price point that's not Glenmore, that's not Keswick, if that purchase profile is looking at Spring Creek, they can pick the top 25 or 40 homes in Spring Creek and buy it no problem all day, every day and twice on Sunday, and that's what's happening. and the schools were driving them out there. Intriguing what's happening.

And this broker also said this. If Almore County Public Schools are not careful, and this is a perfect headline with the Spillman Lower Third, if Almore County Public Schools are not careful, they are going to impact the real estate market with its performance or lack thereof. Then I immediately countered this heavy-hitting real estate broker who has kids that are no longer, you know,

this real estate broker's empty-nester. And I said, look, the parents in Amar County Public Schools who are disenfranchised or alienated with the school system because of what it's done are either homeschooling or private schooling. So I'm not so much, I'm not sure how much the public school system in Alamore is truly going to impact the real estate values because that family is not staying in ACPS. And speaking of ACPS, you see the solicitation yesterday announced for the Spillman position. will know by the end of September. If you're an interested party and want to feel Allison Spillman's spot, her last day is Thursday. Thursday's her last day.

You chuckle. Everyone in Charlottesville takes one step back. Whoever didn't get the message just left standing there. Okay, we'll take you. Thanks for volunteering. So, you know, time will tell. Let's see the candidates that come in. Someone DM me and said,

what legitimate person would even try to take this job? they responded to our show from yesterday and said, of course it's going to be a rubber stamper. It's a yes person. Because anyone that has an opposing ideology is going to be put through the ringer. So they said, of course it's going to be a rubber stamper. And my bet is the public will be most disenfranchised or alienated by Ammore County Public Schools at the end of September when the six remaining school board members

select a like-minded individual all on the heels of a law. firm for a third-party investigation that was actively representing Almar County Public Schools so the least legitimate possible third-party team picked and a superintendent that was the right-hand person for the disgraced former superintendent. You will see the lowest, you know, candidate support, lowest taxpayer or parent support at the end of September. it's like when you run those polls, what's the level of confidence or excitement

or support you have for like an Abigail Spamberger? And we talked at one time how it was at a low, like a multi-generation low Spamberger's support halfway through her first year. A similar poll if it was run for Almore County Public Schools on say October 1 after they choose a like-minded individual, you will see that poll show the lowest of low of support. And that's when they're going to have to figure out a way

to rebuild trust, much like Legacy Media, is going to have to rebuild the trust. I was thinking the same. And I don't see how they do it. How do they do that? Not with the current plan in place and not with the way they run things currently. Right?

All right. A couple of programming notes. Maria Marshall Barnes is watching the program. Let's get to some comments. Louisiana County Public Schools is definitely the model to follow for public schools. Louisiana County Public Schools. Doug Strelie, I hope you hear this.

Superintendent Strelie, he sent me some DMs. We've got to get to get you on the show, Doug Straitly. Louisiana is leading the public school charge in Central Virginia. And I've been here for 26 years. If you had told Jerry, if you had told me 15 or 20 years ago that Louisiana would be leading the charge for public schools in Central Virginia, I would have laughed at you.

But they are now the leader of public schools in Central Virginia, Louisa. And I'm extremely bullish on green. I'm very bearish on Almaro. Doug Straitly, we should get you on the show. Carol Thorpe watching the program. Perhaps we should acknowledge today and tomorrow are the ninth anniversaries of everything related to the infamous Unite the Right rally.

August 11th and August 12th. Today and tomorrow, she's 100% right. Nine years ago, there was Nazis on the grounds at the University of Virginia. And tomorrow is the nine-year anniversary of Heather Heyer's murder. and what I'll call domestic terrorism. Judah cringes.

He cringed right there. I cringed internally. You cringed. We saw you cringe. Domestic terrorism. You don't believe the moniker is applicable. I think you give the poor schlub that committed the terrible act far too much credit. James Fields.

What about all the people that allowed it to get to that point? You know that includes a lot of people in Charlottesville, right? 100%. not only people in Charlestville, people in the governor's mansion, includes a lot of people. Whoever carted in Antifa, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of blame to go around. Tomorrow's the nine-year anniversary. Yeah. 501 Cherry Avenue. Give them the who, what, when, where, why, with the lower throat on screen, if you could, please, sir.

501 Cherry Avenue, man, it's a sad story. but we're still waiting to see if it's got a happy ending. The Co-op that was the Charlottesville Co-op that was tasked and for some time trying to see if they could make it work, have, as we've previously reported, taken their hat out of the ring, so to speak. Part of that has to do with the assessment done by an out-of-market company that said there were problems with the property, problems with how you would do deliveries to a grocery store there.

A third-party consultant basically said this site was not good for a grocery store. The developer wooded properties is saying that's not the case. Most trucks used for businesses in Charlottesville are small box trucks and not 85-foot-long tractor trailers. Right. Because box trucks are what delivers the goods to a grocery store at this site, it's a perfect fit for a grocery. The co-op tied to the Fifeville Neighborhood Association says, no way, Jose, we're not going to be the ones that run it. Regardless, Woodard Properties is going to start development along with Piedmont Housing Alliance this fall at 501 Cherry Avenue,

and they're going to do it with the hope of finding an operator. Yeah. That's it right there in a nutshell. Okay. the reality is, why in God's name would you get in the grocery store business? Why would you do it? I've covered this at noisium here. The news today is the development project will start this fall.

So we're weeks away from the development project starting at 501 Cherry Avenue. And the reality is that's a very forward-facing parcel. There's a boatload of traffic that drives by, and Fife fills a very important core. that's parallel to Main Street. So the development of this project is going to be watched intensely as it should, because it's that important. The next headline I think we need to bring to your attention is Salvation Army is basically coming hat and hand to the community saying we need to raise $6.3 million,

and we have how many days to do it? 21 days. 21 days. They're doing a capital campaign. They fall in short with 21 days left, and they're asking the community, almost begging the community, almost begging the community for help. And I want to reference this on the talk show

because what they're doing is good. The best part of this Salvation Army story, the best part of the Salvation Army story that I read today was the Salvation Army's success rate with matriculating its participants back into the community. The Salvation Army, ladies and gentlemen, is doing fantastic work.

55 people in the men's at women's shelter. The campaign launched three and a half years ago, 6.3 million short. This is the Center for Hope. They do an excellent job of taking participants and making them part of society, helping them land on their feet, get jobs. So if there's an aspect for you to help this campaign,

do it. If there's a chance, do it. another piece of headline that we haven't gone to what do you got you to wickow? Let's see as we hop around we've got a new edict down from Seville City Council Seville City Council is straight up said if you're going to if you're a tent town tenant after the first of September you will be arrested and prosecuted.

That blows my mind I'm actually Let's see if they actually they filed through on this. I should have passed this along to you yesterday that is, I think that is the question. How will they back up words with, they can send the police down there. The police have been, I believe, a fairly regular,

regular fixture down on the, on the Ravanna Trail recently because of the tent town. The fixture told me, we don't utilize this person's name, the moniker is the fixer. This is the same person where I've given 4 to 1 odds about Natalie Osharin completing her term. The fixer, his 25 against my 100, that Osharing will not complete her term.

I think Osharing will complete her term. I got 100 bucks against his 25. The fixer indicated to me that Jen Fleischer, the city counselor, is almost every single day at tent town with a chair and table trying to help the tent town tenants. That it's commendable the commitment from counselor Jen Fleischer. No doubt. At tent town. City council has said, excuse me,

City Hall has said you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted if you're there. Yeah. After September 1. And by no coincidence, the vestibules are getting loitered and crowded again on the downtown wall. Jeremy Wilson says Judah is spot on. It's difficult being older, single person in a college town. Cookville, Tennessee is smaller than Charleston, but it's a college town too.

And today's music, I just don't get it. Jeremy Wilson, eastern Tennessee. Yeah. Jason Hampshire, welcome to the broadcast. Steve Smith, welcome to the broadcast. Any other headlines we didn't out-cover, Judah? Yeah, I just want to add that if they don't pass the camping ban, I don't know that there's anything the police really can do.

Yeah. Well, this is different. in that zero east high street at least is owned by the city. So they call it trespassing. But the downtown mall is not owned by the city. It's a public park. Zero east high street is on this side of the of the bridge. Yes, it's on high street.

The larger portion is under the bridge. Is under the bridge. I just, I don't know. I mean, to Judah's point, if council doesn't pass the camping ban and the no storage of possessions, public. Then counsel is gutless. They're also, I believe, powerless. I don't think

the police can just arrest people on Ravana Trail because they've got a tent and they're staying there. Because there's no camping ban. Patrick McAdam's watching the program. He says, I'm calling Bias on this new edict. Patrick McAdams's photo on screen. He says it's going to be a showdown at

Tentown. That's a great headline. Showdown at Tentown. With September 1 around the corner. He's exactly right. Yeah, I don't think they can do anything. That was the whole reason. We talked about it when they first introduced the idea of the camping ban, that that was a legal framework upon which the police could act. Without that, I don't think they can act.

You can't just arrest people on the Rivana Trail. We'll see. Maybe I'm wrong. Showdown at Tentown. Showdown at Tentown. Showdown at Tentown. Charlottesville Sanitary Supplying in Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company. Oh, that's good.

that's very good. Keep it going. That's my, I mean, that's pretty much it. Those from Color of Money and a number of movies, but Color of Money had that in the intro to its movie. Paul Newman and Tom Cruise. Well, it certainly wasn't new to that movie. No, it certainly was not.

Martin Scorsese, the director of Color of Money. Fantastic movie. Somebody out there know, is that Ennio Morricone from the Spaghetti Westerns? I'm not sure who actually... That's out of my pay grade. Who actually composed the music. this comes from

Jim Hingley public property can be closed for certain hours and trespassing can be charged for being on property after hours, Judah. He says public property can be closed for certain hours and trespassing can be charged for being on property after

hours. And that's what they did at Market Street Park, where they put the 11 p.m. curfew at Market Street Park and then they called it after 11 p.m. trespassing. So Jim Hingley is saying that's what they'll do. at public property to get them to be evicted from tent town without having that no camping in place policy.

So there's your solution. Put up a sign. 10 o'clock. What's the comedian say? Here's your sign. Here's your sign. Here's your sign. Cue your music again, your whistle.

Oh, you want that again? I thought it was excellent. Hold on. I could stop laughing. All right. There we go. Carly Wagner given props to Jen Fleischer. Good for her.

Jen Fleischer, that's far above her public duties. 100%. I don't agree with Jen Fleischer's politics in any capacity, but Jen Fleischer is at a foldaway table in a chair almost every day at Tentown, trying to help the tent town tenants. Yeah, that's perfect. That is above and beyond the $18,000 she is earning as a city counselor. So props to Jen Fleischer.

Carly also says the Rivana Trail Foundation doesn't own any of the love. land and will be up to the individual property owners to call for trespassing and the RTF to enforce their no camping rule. Jim Hinchley has given the out for the city. There it is. The public property can be closed for certain hours and during those closed certain hours, it's called trespassing. And they did that at Market Street Park. That's how they got Sandersville to go away. Well, but did they really arrest anyone? I think they just, I think, I think police chief conscious is I think he just put on his charm and essentially talk to people.

No, he didn't know. Police Chief Kachis did not arrest anyone. They didn't arrest anyone there. I agree. I didn't think so. But they did a very good job of outreach there. Yeah. And to police chief, Cautius, to your point, Cautius handled that extremely well. He's being put in very difficult positions.

No doubt. The police department. Unfair. Like I said, if they don't have, you know, as Jim Hingellell, pointed out, maybe they'll put up a sign and have some legal recourse, but we'll see. All right. That's the talk show. Chuda Wickhauer, Jerry Miller, Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company,
