New places, new faces

I've started my graduate student career this fall - studying for a Master's of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia. I relish the historic grounds and buildings and the idiosyncrasies of Charlottesville. It seems like there's always somewhere new and beautiful to explore. I especially appreciate the ways the community wrestles in the tension between the beauty of parts of its history and the darker, messier aspects of slavery, racism, and classism. The scars are still here, running through these neighborhoods and grounds. How the beauty can be deepened by honoring its whole history - and all peoples who were a part of it - is something I hope to learn more about while I'm here.  I think it's a pretty great place to be.
