We have tried many, many different automotive and mechanic shops in Central Virginia. Snead’s Automotive Center is now our go-to choice because of Kirk Snead, a local boy who has built a thriving business based on trust, honesty and punctuality. When you walk into Snead’s Automotive in Greene County and start talking to Mr. Snead about your vehicle needs, you realize immediately that the “relationship” is much more important to Mr. Snead than the “money.” In an industry where deceit and deception are the norm, Mr. Snead and Snead Automotive Center are a breath of refreshing, trusting air.

Today, she offers a wide selection of books, toys and puzzles from her toy store in Midtown CVille. Shenanigans is a mecca of fun and education, a vision that Ms. Rady has created over decades in Charlottesville. Ms. Rady has a Southern charm and grace that are noticed immediately.

We enjoy the creative culture fostered at Mudhouse, an eclectic melting pot of artists, writers, poets and entrepreneurs, who have one thing in common: the love of delicious, local java!
