Afternoon, brickeaters. Hope this rainy one finds you well. We gotcha good yesterday, didn’t we? Barton Malow Project Manager and fellow prankster Chris Weatherford stopped by Brick Watch headquarters yesterday to congratulate us on trickery (brickery?). Some of the folks at Barton Malow nearly fell to the floor at reading the news of the strike…until they saw our April Fool’s message.
In other new, some rumors have been floating around Charlottesville’s sizeable runnning community lately that the famous Charlottesville 10 Miler (C10M) was going to be rerouted to avoid the rebricking on the Downtown Mall.
Race Directors Dan and Alice Wiggins put out a release via e-mail yesterday to address this concern. "At the moment, there have been NO CHANGES to the course," read the e-mail. "We are working closely with the project foreman, who assures us there will be access for the race on the mall."
The annual C10M is this Saturday, April 4, at 7:45am, starting and ending at UHall. More info is available at the C10M website.
Before we split, some construction updates:
-New light fixtures are going in, as we type, on the 400 east block.
-They are repointing the edges of the 300 east block (right in front of the C-VILLE office, for now).
-Rebricking is nearing completion on the center section of the 100 east block.
