Welcome to the I Love Seville Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the water cooler of content and conversation here in Charlottesville and in Central Virginia. There's no network, there's no media company in this region that is producing content at our level of volume, and it's period, facts on facts. This show is our flagship show. It's the I Love Seville show where we have tens of thousands of people listen and watch the program. We're going to talk on today's show topics that are important to you, the viewer and listener, that no one else is covering, and we'll do it in long-form content which no one else is doing. I'm going to take macro storylines like Berkshire Hathaway purchasing Taylor Morrison builders for $6.8 billion. This is a significant purchase and acquisition of noteworthiness for,

for Warren Buffett's firm. What does it represent that we can apply to Charlottesville, Almore County in Central Virginia? That's what I'll talk about on the show today. We're going to talk on the program today. The UBA Foundation purchasing a property in city limits. Subscribers of our network, $8 a month, offers you GIS sales data on a daily basis sent to your inbox.

If a piece of property is purchased in Charlottesville City Limits, our subscribers are the first to know via an email sent to them in their inbox. We are soon going to scale what we're doing in the city to Alamara County and to other jurisdictions in central Virginia as our subscribership is blowing up. Jerry Racklifts is blowing up. I Love Seavilles is blowing up. People crave news and information, and we're going to provide it to you. A lot I'm going to cover on the broadcast today, folks, including a comparison

of Sally Duncan and Natalie Osharine. Which elected officials the most polarizing? That will be the lead of today's show. We'll talk homelessness. Is this the most significant challenge for the city since the pandemic? And if it's not, what is? I want to highlight a $3 million sale at 2662 Jefferson Park Circle. It's rare in Charlottesville City do that home.

himself for $3 million. It happens in Almar County all the time. Charlottesville City, it does not. A $3 million transaction on Jefferson Park Circle in the Fry Springs neighborhood. I point of clarity from yesterday's show. I was notified by a viewer and listener that I trust that the Boat House restaurant wants home to Maverick Steakhouse, the Boat House restaurant. Plaza Esteka was there? Yeah, Plaza Esteka was there. That is an actually in Seville City. city limits.

Yesterday, James Watson, a trusted viewer and listener of this program, suggested that that location was one of the most cursed spots for business and city limits. And I said, no, that's in Almar County. I was in fact corrected by someone who would know. So James Watson, you were right. Do you have the list of the most cursed spots in front of you? I do. In fact, we should two shot you so we could rattle off that list.

this was a talking point we had yesterday because devil's backbone made the official announcement that their tap room on west main street was closed forever we broke that news for you last week or last year excuse me last year that the devil's backbone tap room on west main street was going to be closed forever and we broke that last year and it was made official just recently by inbeb and anheuser bush and devil's backbone that led us to and wondering what were the most cursed locations. What was on that list in no particular order, Judah Wickhauer? We had Lark, Tonic.

We had, what was the first one? Lark. That was the spot that the breweries were at. They're at the bottom of the Lark, right? Okay, so you're talking about skipping rock, hardy wood, and devil's backbone. Yeah. That location. Okay, on West Main Street.

We've got Tonic. We've got Michael's Bistro, Commonwealth Skybar, Wild Wing Cafe, X Lounge, and Cafe Cubano. Okay, so now we can add Boathouse and Mavericks. Isn't it peers now? Is it, is it, that's what it is now? Because Plaza Stecha moved. Yeah, that's the seafood, the seafood restaurant. Yeah.

Well, you buy seafood by the bucket? Yeah. That's been five or six iterations since I've been here, and I arrived here in 2000. as a mischievous first year at the University of Virginia. I actually remember Mavericks. Mavericks was great. And what was it in between, was it something there between that and Plaza Azteca? It was Boathouse.

Boathouse. The Boathouse. Great happy hour at the Boathouse. Had many a client meeting at the Boathouse. That's been a number of iterations. I'm not necessarily buying the Cafe Cubano location on the downtown ball as being cursed. They've done well. I think the most cursed location in York Place, that's York Place.

that's York Place. Yeah. Is the restaurant in the back of York Place. Not the restaurant that's facing on the mall. Tony Jorge, a former neighbor of mine in Redfields, he lived in the Redfields neighborhood. I lived on Rockledge Drive. Tony was one, two, three, four doors down. Tony and I used to meet all the time to drink bourbon and smoke cigars.

He ran Cafe Kubano for a long time. He now works for Devil's Backbone. He ran Cafe Kubano. for a long time there. And Grit ran it for a long time there. And now the Sombreros family has worked. I'll cross that one off. I think the curse location is the restaurant in the back of York place. Which was Sombreros for a while before it moved to the front. That's the one that's cursed. What is it? If Conan Owen is watching the program right now, what is it now? It's now a fancy, elevated restaurant. My wife would know who that is? Now what it is? Viewers and listeners,

what's it now? That's the cursed spot. Let's put that list together, leave it on my doubt. We'll talk about it on the show. I want to highlight Stanley Martin Holmes on the program. They're a partner of the show. Did you know Stanley Martin Holmes has built more than 600 homes in Charlottesville, Amar County, and Central Virginia, in the last 24 months? The last two years, one developer and builder, Stanley Martin Holmes, has built more than 600 homes, ladies and gentlemen. They're bringing a new neighborhood to market, Breezy Hill, 80-some rooftops right outside the gates of Glenmore. These will be built-to-order B-T-Oed, is how Stanley Marker.

and describes them, where you can have a say in what they look like. These will be larger home sites. They're also going to bring 45 rooftops to market in the Fry Springs neighborhood as they just got Greenlight approval from City Council with the final site plan and hundreds of homes soon to come to market in Greene County to capture the demand from AstraZeneca and biotechnology and Rivana Station, Rivana Futures. Stanley Martin Holmes is dedicated to building homes that cater to each person's unique needs and lifestyles, high quality single family homes, townhomes, and condominiums, design and constructed with innovative techniques that ensure exceptional efficiency and aesthetic appeal. There was breaking news yesterday, which we highlighted on the

I Love Seville Network. Berkshire Hathaway has purchased Taylor Morrison Builders, Taylor Morrison Home, in a $6.8 billion deal. Unbelievable. This was signed sealed and delivered on Sunday and reported by the global media yesterday. The Omaha-based company will pay $72.50 a share in cash for Taylor Morrison. The acquisition marks one of the first major strategic deals under Warren Buffett's successor who took over as CEO at the beginning of this year. Taylor Morrison's shares have obviously popped yesterday. The acquisition marks one of the first major strategic deals under Warren Buffett's

successor, as I said, who took over the job at the beginning of the calendar. And it's a sign to many in the housing industry, at least macro, a sign that the challenges that housing has faced of late may be behind us. It's no secret that housing has faced challenges due to unaffordability, due to interest rates, due to labor, cost of goods, zoning, red, tape, bureaucracy, politicians, you name it, housing has faced headwinds. You look at the volume of sales in our market, the Charlottesville, Almaro County, Central Virginia market. The sales volume is crawling along, I would characterize it, crawling along. Almaro County, the incremental value increase

is flat for Almaro County. There's a lot of counties in central Virginia where increment, value is downsliding, that's appreciation, and we haven't even seen the true impact of escalated gasoline on outer county housing values. I mean, you stay in the fours per gallon for an extended period of time, and you watch as Fluvana get soft. You watch as Augusta County and Waynesboro and Rockingham get soft. These drive to you qualify, fly to your qualified jurisdictions. if gas starts knock, knock, knocking on the door of $5 a gallon, who's going to want to drive 45 minutes or an hour to and from work when gas is five bucks a gallon?

That will hurt values, transactions, volume. Ladies and gentlemen, I had a number of people in the industry respond to my post about Berkshire Hathaway buying Taylor-Mort Morrison home for $6.8 billion. dollars. And a lot of the people are in the industries, ladies and gentlemen, I want to read some of that commentary to you, the viewer, and listener. First, Jimmy Evers, formerly of Stanley Martin Holmes, one of the most talented free agents on the market right now is Jimmy Evers. He says, I have a question for you, Jerry. Talk about this on the show if you'd like. How do you think this sale, Warren Buffett's firm buying Taylor Morrison home, affects the new construction market as a

as a whole. He says Japanese-based companies have been acquiring some of the nation's top builders for years, keeping management intact, providing capital to grow the business, and implementing new construction standard. For example,

prefab framing, for example, where windows come installed in the framing. Do you think Berkshire has the same game plan with Taylor Morrison? Do you think we will see other U.S.-based conglomerates enter the new construction housing market to acquire companies. He's asking these questions, Jimmy, who's a very sophisticated, nuanced and smart gentleman

as it applies to new construction and many facets of life, because he already knows the answers. Here's a guy that's worked in new construction for nearly a generation. He knows these answers, and he knows the answers are yes, and he's giving me suggestion, commentary, topic matter for today's show. How about this one, which I thought was... freaking awesome. This is coming from someone I do not know that works in new construction. Ryan Mays, M-A-Y-E-S, he says, to piggyback off what Jimmy said with the changes, with the changes in laws that limits or bans institutional investment firms from investing directly into real estate, do you think this is their workaround? Here's what he's saying. There's tremendous headwind pressure.

There's tremendous federal government pressure. There's tremendous political pressure that is keeping a black rock or a blackstone from going out and buying as many single-family detached homes as possible because they know if they control the housing stock and the housing supply and there's a finite amount of stock and supply and land to develop upon. Then this is a fantastic investment long term. Furthermore, that they can start dictating values. They control markets when they have holdings of these.

types of magnitude. I've seen that firsthand with what I do professionally. This firm, the I Love Civo Show, the Miller organization, our parent company, the Miller organization, we have 184 offices that we own and or manage at our disposal. We with 184 offices, and of those 184, ladies and gentlemen, I have two vacancies. The best thing that I do professionally is take office space and fill it. The best thing by far, what I do professionally is that. Two vacancies out of 184. I see firsthand what I can do when I have 184 units at my disposal from setting price point, from driving value for clients. I see firsthand. Imagine if you own what Black Rock Blackstone does, hundreds, thousands, thousands, tens of thousands.

of single-family detached homes and what you can do to value. So what this guy is saying on the program, what this guy is saying on the I Love Seville Network, which is clearly the source of the source when it comes to content in Charlestville, Albarra, and Central Virginia, he's basically saying, is this a backdoor or a workaround to get around some of this political headwinds from the federal level?

Are these well-endowed, these dry-powdered machines, Are they going to buy home builders as a workaround to federal bureaucracy trying to overplay its hand by keeping Wall Street and invest your money from, you know, gobbling them up as much housing stock as possible? I think this Taylor Morrison transaction is significant in the housing community. And realtors should be following. There's a boatload of you realtors watching the show. A boatload of you finance folks and a boatload of development and home builders that are watching the, the program. This is a significant storyline. And it may not have immediate ties to Charlottesville, but it's certainly an indication that housing could be back on its way up, back on its way up.

A lot I want to cover on the program. We view it on a two-shot, Sally Duncan and Natalie Oshar and Judah. You jump in here. Most polarizing, Duncan or Osharing, Oshran, or Duncan for you. Oh, man. I would probably say Duncan. I think Natalie Oshrin got a lot of flack for her vote on the mark. But I think she was just trying to do what she thought was right. And whether she didn't have enough information or, you know, whatever the case, we are, we certainly have a vocal minority that doesn't mind. doesn't mind bearing their thoughts to the council whenever they feel distress. So you see, Sally Duncan is the most polarizing? I think so. Viewers and listeners, what are your thoughts? I'll go Sally Duncan as well.

I think Natalie Oshran is very well-intentioned. Yeah. And I don't think Sally, I don't think Natalie Oshran has ulterior motives. And I don't think Natalie Oström is a socialist. She has socialistic tendencies, but not a socialist at heart. Sally Duncan is a socialist. If it were up to Sally Duncan and she campaigned on this platform,

I will raise your taxes. And she won. If it was up to Sally Duncan, there would be rent control. If there was up to Sally Duncan, there would be significantly more tax pressure on upper middle class and upper class Almore Countyans to fund subsidized lifestyles for lower middle class and lower class Almar counties. She would do that in a heartbeat. Sally Duncan is pushing rental inspections.

There are 16,000 rental units in Almore County. Sally Duncan would like Almore County's taxpayers to fund inspectors. on Almore County's payroll, whether they're there or not, whether they may need to be hired or not, here's the real answer. They would need to be hired to inspect those 16,000 units to make sure they meet Sally Duncan's standards. Every year. Every year. Sally Duncan is a renter, one of two on the Almore County Board of Supervisors. She is a socialist, and you want someone who is the most polarizing of the two politicians. It's Sally Duncan. And I'll say this once and I'll say this twice.

The most important vote on the Almore County Board of Supervisors is Fred Missiles. Because you're going to see a lot of Ned Galloway, Mike Pruitt, and Sally Duncan voting as a block. And you'll see Lipisto-Curtly and Ann Malick voting as a block. And what Fred Missal does, whether he joins, which block he joins, will determine a no-or-yes vote. Yeah. So your Samuel District Supervisor, Fred Missal, who previously worked for the UVA, Foundation has got a lot of influence on this Almar County Board of Supervisors who's now got three quarters of a billion dollar in yearly operating budget.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is no small potatoes government here. Three quarters of a billion dollars the yearly budget for Almaro County. Sally Duncan, the most polarizing slam dunk for me. Viewers and listeners, let us know your thoughts. We'll relay I'm live on air. Neil Williamson is sharing a link on the personal set. in the comments of my personal Facebook page, an interesting interactive map on housing from VP.

I'm going to check out the link. The link is in the comment section of my personal page. Make sure you follow Jerry Miller on Facebook. James Watson, the Peter Chang spot, Judah. And there's another restaurant space that's in part of Barracks Road next to Chang's that had a be-good, healthy restaurant previously that nothing has lasted there. The Peter Chang spot in North Barracks used to be a fact, restaurant named Wild Greens.

Really? I used to love going there. There also, he's right, a restaurant in the middle of North Barracks, kind of a few doors down from Barracks Road Shopping Center, or from Roebuck and North Barracks. That is, had a lot of turnover there as well. Padows was in that area. Remember the Delhi Padows?

One of my favorite places to go to was in that location. He says that should be added to the list, Judah. Curtis Shaver watching the program. print radio and television watching the program. Is this two of them? Yeah, I'll put the, I don't know if I want to put the Peter Chang spot on there, but that restaurant in North Barracks in the center of North Barracks, a few doors down from Roeback is certainly cursed.

We call it Padau's Deli used to be in that area. You don't remember Padows? No. Fantastic Kelly. You know how it spelled? P-A-D-O-W-A-Postrophe S. Hank Martin watching the program. He said, Boathouse began its life as Pargo.

with Chi-Chi's beside it. Now Outback. Thank you, handsome Hank Barton. Jason Hampshire is watching the program. Did you get a Jason Hampshire photo that we can put on screen? I don't think I've gotten one yet. Let's put Jason Hampshire's name on the punch list so we could get his photo on the screen. He's a great guy.

Already crunching those numbers with fuel and groceries, it's tough to keep the wolves away. I drive 40 minutes each way from Scottsville. He works in the Ivy area, and he's commuting 40 minutes, way from Scottsville and he's already crunching the numbers. Viewers and listeners, you're not going to want to hear this here, especially folks in the real estate world, but $5 a gallon gas, $4 plus a gallon gas is going to soften out of county real estate values and outer county real estate volume. Mark that down. You cannot continue at this level of as this level of a fuel volatility and expensive gas and maintain values, folks, Judah.

Was it Peter Hampshire? Jason Hampshire. Jason Hampshire. H-A-M-S-H-A-R. Conan Owen watching the program. Berkshire paid a 25% premium. Their typical ROI is 20% annually, so they are betting on a huge boom in construction. But Taylor Morrison focuses on much less regulated markets

than Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. but they would not have paid that kind of premium for a company building in Almaro where growth is severely capped 100%. And he says, Padows is now the FedEx, so that's not exactly cursed. What's the restaurant, Coden, this is right up your alley. What's the restaurant that is in the center of North Barracks? I do remember like James Watson used to say that James Watson said, it was be good, I think is what it was previously. The center of North Barracks and viewers and listeners, what are some iterations of that? restaurant that's in the center of North Barracks, North Barracks Road, literally in the center. I'm not talking Peter Chang's. I'm talking the one in the dead center. That be good place used to have

the best milkshakes. Katie Mullins, fantastic realtor. Katie Mullins watching the program does $10 or $12 million a year in sales value. She's a rising star in real estate. I sincerely mean that. She just got that Druid Avenue listing sold. I mean, basically at list price, Katie Mullins, you effing crushed it with that Druid Avenue sale. Her husband, herself, and a business partner taking a piece of real estate that you couldn't get a mortgage on, figuring out a way to buy it with cash, rehabbing it, bringing it to market so you could then get bank financing on and selling it. Was it $6.75?

You traded that for, Katie Mullins? Props to you. Be good as what it was called, she says. Best milkshakes ever over there. Chris, great job. Katie's man, great work, great work. Judah Wickower, it's called Be Good. Okay. It currently just says restaurant space available.

That spot is cursed. That Be Good location should be on the list. Is that the same as Paddows? No. Okay. Tempo is quick today. Padows is where FedEx was. Peter Chang's and Wild Greens are on an N-Cap off North Barracks.

And Be Good is the one that's in North Barracks center, the center of of North Barracks, a few doors down from Roeback, that sat vacant for a while. So what's your curse list look like? Off the top of my head, Commonwealth Skybar, Tin Whistle, Michael's Bistro, the Be Good location, the Boat House location, the West Main Brew Pub location where Hardywood was, that's off the top of my head without even referencing a list. That's six. I mean, we're calling them all different names, so I'm getting a little bit lost.

We got sombreros in the back. The restaurant in the back of your place is absolutely cursed. There was a Jewish deli there at one time. X lounge. X lounge. I'll give that as cursed as well. I mean, put an elevated, expensive restaurant next to public housing with limited parking and see if that's going to have success.

There's seven, ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations on the closing last week. $683,500. Badass, Katie Mullins. $683,500. on Druid Avenue. And you know what? I sincerely mean this, Katie. $683,500. That was a good deal for the buyers. With a income-producing basement apartment with its own entrance and exit.

Katie, I bet you you feel this the same way. Don't you think that Druid Avenue deal at 683 500 was a good deal for the buyers? I sincerely mean that, especially with the work you put into that Druid Avenue location. Hank Martin's watching the program. Print Radio. everybody's watching the show everyone's watching the show elected officials city hall everyone's watching the program right now next topic judahwick how what do you got next up we've got the freebridge encampment james watson is kicking ass again do you throw the ralph sampson location the restaurant on barracks road shopping center that's now mick milken honey that's on that curse list and how about the burger batch pasture restaurant location in stonefield stonefield stonefield

field I know is the county. That's the county. The burger batch spot where pasture restaurant was. That's the county. But I'll give them the Logan Wells Claylow. It was great to see you and your husband on Friday. Your husband is looking fit as a fiddle. Make sure he hears that. Looks jacked your husband. You should add the Ralph Samson milk and honey spot. Carol Thorpe watching the show. When I moved to Charlestville in 1995, she said the former Wild Greens and P. F. Chang location was Monterey's. On Thursday nights, it was one of the first, if not the first, karaoke night hosted by the late great Steve Miller. I met Steve Miller and got to know him through Baja Bean karaoke, a chain smoking, goatee-wearing, portly fellow who ran the best

karaoke in the business at Baja Bean on the UVA corner. I remember Stacey before she married my friend Shane Reed, bartending at Baja on the UVA corner. Baja Bean was owned by the Morris family. Miss Morris, the owner, she and her husband, she was my third grade teacher in Williamsburg.

Stacey Reed, the bartender, she would mix drinks and serve cocktails while singing karaoke in the most fabulous fashion. It was mesmerizing. Watching Stacey Reed, now Stacey Reed, I forget her last name before she married my friend or fraternity brother Shane

singing karaoke at Bahabin while making drinks on the UVA corner. That was the type of OG Charlottesville that I absolutely love. Charm and nostalgia and everyone knew your name. I used to go there and draw the people doing the karaoke. Logan Wells

Claylow's husband's watching the program. He says thank you. He's fit as a fiddle. Fit is a fiddle. Carol actually ran karaoke a brief time. at Baha Bean. Georgia Gilmer's watching the program. 102 marker. Next topic. Judah Wickhara, what do we got? Freebridge encampment? Dude, there was a city council meeting. Put the lower third on screen. I'm going up

tempo today. I've been up since five in the morning. I got a three-year-old kid, my wife and I that's trying to do sleep, sleep, a night without diapers on. We're four nights in. He's gone one night throughout the whole evening without pissing the bed. Three nights, he wet the bed. I woke up each night to change the sheets, put him in the wash, get him from the washer machine to the dryer. This three-year-old is trying so, so hard, but a 32-pound bladder just cannot make it through the night right now

without wetting the bed. Transitions in life, ladies and gentlemen. This is the challenge we're facing right now. But I believe in our son. He is on the cusp of making this happen. The Freebridge encampment, goodness gracious. City Council meeting last night. the public speakers in the city council meeting were literally lambasting the counselors for considering the eradication of the encampment.

There's like, how could you Dix move this encampment from Freebridge and from Zero E's High Street to that building off the bypass? You guys are Dix. That's what these commenters were calling the counselors. Dicks. And they're not Dix, guys. We cannot prioritize 150 people sleeping under a break. bridge over 50,000 residents that are taxpayers in the city. And that's what's happening right now. You can call me a dick for saying that. I could care less. Governance is prioritizing 50,000 people

that are taxpayers over 150 people that want to sleep under a bridge. And the people that spoke before council yesterday literally said give them bathrooms, give them fire extinguishers, give them more trash cans. Give them more used needle disposal kits. Give them more dumpsters. Give them electrical outlets and electricity. It's nauseating. What's next? Let's give them 1,000 count bed sheets and pillows, soft, firm and hard. Let's give them California Kings and Hilton bathrobes and that fantastic smell when you enter any kind of Marriott or Hilton Hotel. Is that what's next? And you say he lacks emotional intelligence and empathy. No, I do not.

150 people should not be prioritized over 50,000 people. Anything you want to add to that? I'm fired up on this one. I mean, there's a lot. I mean, there's so much in here. Talking about one speaker said there was a crackdown on unhoused people across the city. I mean, do we really believe that? What crackdown on unhoused people?

if anything, we've rolled out the red carpet for the homeless in the city. Yeah. The red carpet's been rolled out. You want to go shoot your white china into your veins or in between your toes? Go do it under the free bridge. There's needle disposal kits over there. There's porter potty's, there's trash cans, and then evidently you can use the river to do whatever the hell you want.

We're not doing the expense at the homeless. What are you talking about? And Sam Sanders, I need to pick up the pace and tempo with you. Enough already. enough already Sam Sanders. Like you're just making your your job security more tenuous and fragile Sam Sanders. Facts on facts on facts. Next topic.

What do you got, Judith, the 105 marker? Local reporters leaving the city. Two more local reporters have pieced out from legacy media. TV reporters, right? Yeah. Who do you got? I believe they were also. co-workers. We've got

Cassidy Stevens who left about a week ago and Alexia Williams. Alexia Williams and Cassidy Stevens peace out, hit the roadjack. You were fantastic. Look, I'm here to tell you if you work in legacy media, old media, print, radio, television, and

you are still working at your job longer than 24 months, you are either doing something completely wrong or you have a side-hide-hals subsidizing your income and you're working 70 hours a week. I work for Monticello Media. I work for the daily progress when it was owned by Media General and I work for NBC29 before it recently sold out. I literally have a decade of legacy media experience before I started this business 18 years ago. When I was working for NBC29, I hosted two TV shows, the Jerry Miller show on Saturday mornings that aired from 1130 a.m. to 12 p.m.

on the CW and varsity lights with Jerry Miller that aired on Sunday mornings from 11 a.m. to 1130 a.m. I hosted the shows. I produced the shows. I booked the shows. I sold the advertising within the shows. The amount of work that I put into those effort into those two programs was insane. And I was probably walking with like 20 or 25K. The only way I was able to make it work 18 years ago. Now, I cobbled together a pretty significant income, about 85 grand. 19 years ago, but I was working 80, 85 hours a week. I made my primary income working for the daily progress where I had some perks and some benefits and some health care

and a little bit of matching 401k. Then I worked Monticello Media, then ESPN Radio, then NBC29. I was working 90 hours a week, seven days a week, at 85K. Basically two jobs at 40 grand, 42K. And then I had a part-time job on top of that. that's what 90 hours a week works means. Two 40-hour-a-week jobs and a 10-hour-a-week part-time job.

My parents, my girlfriend at the time, don't quit your job, Jerry. You're doing so well. Don't quit your job. They had the intervention at the Vils at Southern Ridge, my condo when I walked in. Don't quit your job to start this company. I literally looked at them and I said, I'm working 90 hours a week. I'm showing up to NBC29 at 3.30 or 4. am in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. I have no life. What are you talking about?

Two print, right, two TV reporters out of Charlottesville. If you're working for legacy media, old media, and you've been on the job for two years or longer in Charlottesville, you're doing something extremely wrong. You haven't figured it out. It's a hop-on market. You work here 18 months, 24 months, and you go to a different market. Next question. Next topic. Judah Wickhauer, what do you got? Next up, we've got some real estate sales. I love Seville subscribers. $8 a month gets you all the GIS data,

all the sales transaction data in the city of Charlottesville. We're about to add Almaro County. This is wildly popular. It's literally delivered in your inbox. The UVA Foundation purchased 1820 Rugby Place. 1820 Rugby Place, the UVA Foundation purchased. Subscribers were the first to know. They have more information.

their inbox. And then how about the Loring Woodruff listing? Loring, who frankly speaking, the extremely high dollar listings, Loring is crushing it with these listings, her firm. She's absolutely crushing it. There was a $3 million sale. I'm not sure why this wasn't atop the I Love Seville substack, but a $3 million sale in the Fry Springs neighborhood, a Loring Woodruff represented listing. That just came out for subscribers. that transaction, 2662 Jefferson Park Circle, $3 million sale in Charlottesville City Limits. That is without question newsworthy.

So two pieces of information that are newsworthy. The UVA Foundation buying a home on Rugby Place in a $3 million transaction in the Fry Springs neighborhood. Any other topics on the program today? Other than the Boat House restaurant within city limits, I think that's it. covered boat house city limits. This is the water cooler of content information. You just got 43 minutes of content without me taking a breath without a commercial break. There's no one that's giving you information like this, ladies and gentlemen, period bar none. No one.
