🚐 If you've driven (walked, scootered, or biked) down 14th street lately, you've surely noticed the super cute airstream food truck and 1960s style hotel just steps from UVA's Corner. We had to go by to check out the newly opened @littlemodhotel and @littlemodpod after we learned they were participating in C-ville's taco week last week. The retro hotel features vibrant colors and throwback accessories in their simple, clean, bright and cheerful rooms set alongside this student neighborhood, surrounded by all the action of the University's Corner. The truck serves breakfast and lunch tacos and "kolaches" - (Czech pastries made of a yeast dough, also a Texan staple brought over by Czech settlers). We tried one savory - a pepperoni roll, and one sweet - the sweet cream kolache with chocolate drizzle, and both were delicious! Stop by some time for a unique and casual dining experience! ...

🍻The new Högwaller Brewing, located right on the river near @rivannarivercompany just released their first beer TODAY, called "Grätüïtöüs Ümläüt" and it is absolutely delicious! And, Mark the brewer is here celebrating its release today. We were able to catch up with him to discuss this beer and what we have to look forward to at @hogwallerbrewing. Mark describes this as a West Coast-ish IPA with big citrus, stone fruit, and reserved bitterness. Every Thursday at Högwaller starting today a new beer will be released. Next week look for a light lager called Rives Street Lager (named after a street in Charlottesville's Hogwaller neighborhood located in eastern Charlottesville, bordered on the south and east by Moores Creek). The following week a Stout will be available. Expect a new beer every Thursday for 6 weeks, and an eventual 12 beers on tap at Högwaller! Thanks to Mark for sharing his passion for beer with our community, and for making us work for this caption with the gratuitous umlauts - good thing the beer is worth it! 😉 ...

🎥 Come out to @theparamounttheater for two inspirational screenings this weekend! Two documentaries focus on incredible people doing amazing things: the @prolyfyckruncreww here in Charlottesville and Andrea Lytle Peet of @teamdreafoundation and her journey to become the first person ever with ALS to finish 50 marathons in 50 states.

📕 Andrea will be at the screening and pre-signed copies of her memoir, Hope Fights Back, will be available for purchase from @new_dominion_bookshop.

🎟️ The proceeds from film and book sales will go toward ALS research. Andrea's @teamdreafoundation has already raised over $1 million for research toward a hopeful treatment/cure for this awful, fatal disease.

"Go On, Be Brave begins when Andrea Lytle Peet receives the death sentence of an ALS diagnosis at age 33. The life expectancy for ALS is 2-5 years. She is told her disease is rapidly progressing and to get her affairs in order. She does. And like a true athlete, she decides to do one final triathlon before she dies. She walks across the finish line with trekking poles, her husband, David Peet, by her side. And then she waits. And waits. Until one day, she gets tired of waiting to die. She decides to live.

At the five-year anniversary of her ALS diagnosis, Andrea sets an ambitious goal: be the first person with ALS to complete a marathon in all 50 US states. An “attempt at the impossible,” shares her neurologist Dr. Bedlack; a goal even Andrea doesn’t think she will reach. But she wants to try.” ...
