I'm horribly off-topic, I know...

[eidheann.livejournal.com]

Ok, I really hate doing this. (this being hitting up strangers for advice without a hello, nice to meet you first. So, Hello. Nice to meet you. (I don't feel much better.))

I've seen you (and I believe talked to you once or twice) on the fibro community. I've just moved to C'ville from hot, sunny California, and my bum knee, which usually twinges a bit in December/January is starting to stiffen up full-force. As I said, this is horribly off-topic, but do you have any advice for where I could look to find a cane in the area? I've never needed it before, so have no clue where to even start.

Thank you, and again apologies use and abuse.

I don't really know, but I just saw a discount medical supply place between 10th and fifth/ridge on Cherry. If you want something snazzier, there's a kitschy place in the mall which stocks everything from victoriana to terrifying gingham-angels--they might have one.

Otherwise, Richmond or DC would be your best bet for a pretty one. For strict function, any medical supply place should have one. Heck, some CVS stores carry them, though I'm not sure if any local ones do.

How are you liking Charlottesville? It's a fairly damp year (okay, it's positively sodden), so I imagine you might be more twingey tha usual.

I'm not usually up this early. In fact, I'm not usually just walking in... I was dragged to post-club coffee.

If you'd like to meet up sometime during daylight/twilight hours to chat or have a cup of tea, feel free to speak up. I'm quite fond of Twisted Branch on the downtown mall, but I like Higher Grounds and can even manage Starbucks. ;)

Re: I'm horribly off-topic, I know...

[eidheann.livejournal.com]

I'm liking it a lot so far. I MUCH prefer the daytime temps in the 70s to what they are currently where I'm from, just slowly slipping below the 100s.

But the nights are still a shock :)

I'm not sure where the Twisted Branch is. Is the Downtown Mall you're referring to the Historic Downtown district? I've been once and my brain couldn't process much more than "omg! there are 50-million bookstores here" I've really barely dipped my toes in Charlottesville beyond the Corner and Barracks Rd. *laugh*

But, since I just realized I hadn't actually said it as yet, yes, I would love to meet up some time.

And thank you for your advice. I'll check out the local CVS and brave that scary country-crafty store in the mall. (I hate going into stores where I don't feel like I can turn around because everything is packed in so tightly). I'll also look for the place you mentioned on Cherry. I do still have some time to dwadle before I really need to worry.

Once again, thank you. :)

Any time.;

The Downtown Mall (sometimes abbreviated as DT Mall, or just called the Mall) is a section of Main street between McIntyre Road and 7th Street which is blocked off from cars. It's basically an open-air pedestrian mall. There are lots of restaurants, plenty of stores, two theaters (the regal, which shows various first-run films, and the jefferson, which is old and shows second run films for cheap). It's very close to the "historic" district, which is the group of buildings near the old courthouse which make up the original city plan.

When I was talking about the country kitschy store, I was talking about Fashion Square Mall on 29 North. most folks will distinguinish between the two by referring to the indoor mall as Fashion Square Mall. The store is between Belk and Penney's, across from Spencer's.

If you like used bookstores and can breathe in them, there are a plethora of them downtown. Daedelus is the most well-known. It's basically three floors of bookshelf labyrinth. The two garages downtown have tickets which can be validated (two hours free) at various stores and restaurants, including CVS.

Twisted Branch is a teahouse at the north end of the DT mall. It's up a flight of stairs, so it might not be the best place to meet, though it's quite comfy upstairs.

I am *so* paying for staying out so late. My body has declared mutiny.

Re: Any time.;

Ok, I thought the entire open-air area was considered the historic downtown district. I guess that's what I get when my only tour-guide has only been in Charlottesville a month or so longer than I have.

And I knew which country-crafty store you were referring to in Fashion Square. I've been in it (the mall, not the store) once before. I actually need to go again to get my cellphone looked at. Which will provide me a reason (excuse?) to check the country clutter shop as well.

And, north end of the mall... is that the side toward Regal or the side toward.... whatever's on the opposite side of Regal?

Re: Any time.;

[krasota.livejournal.com]

yes, i'm a ditz. when i said "north", i meant "east". the regal is on the west end.


I'll ask xiane, who's lived here a lot longer than me, if she has any more ideas about stores in which to buy canes. If you've been in Coyote (it's on the corner, near the railroad crossing), she's the lady with purple pigtails who works there.

Re: Any time.;

[eidheann.livejournal.com]

Walked past it often, but never been inside. Mostly only hit the restaurants :)

Re: Any time.;

[krasota.livejournal.com]

so... what's your schedule like? I've normally got loads of free time, being the invalid housewife that I am, but this week is busier than most. Monday night is probably pumpkin carving night (there will be loads of those in the upcoming two weeks) with mbickers, though more are welcome. Wednesday is flyering night for the_dawning, but flyering doesn't start til 7-ish on the Corner. I have guests coming in on Thursday, I think, for the weekend. *And* another local friend of mine is hosting another friend I need to see at some point this weekend.

I'm always up for pizza at Christian's or a cuppa something warm at one of the myraid coffee houses in town.

Re: Any time.;

My schedule is pretty free as far as I know. I'm waiting to hear back on a couple of jobs, but I'm otherwise unemployed, and therefore usually up for anything on very short notice.

As for my normal 'active' schedule, it's usually between 11am and 11pm. I tend to be more of a 'day' and 'evening' person than a true night-owl, but I'm much more comfortable in the pm than the am.
