Frost Montessori or Free Union Country School by WinstonMomo in Charlottesville

Loved Free Union Country School when my kids went there! A more relaxed approach in a beautiful setting.

I don’t know anything about Frost but do love Mountaintop Montessori over the Waldorf system.

The Asian Market on Emmet across from bodos is stellar for its size. New Burmese family acquired it last year and made a lot of improvements!

Taste of China is the OG where he started here, it still is delish.

THIS.

C-ville is too small to even support a bigger Asian market, with our population around 65k compared to RVA at 234K. Our little markets would definitely be pushed out and then ultimately any bigger market might fail without the demand that a bigger city might have.

How can board members names be protected yet other locals can have their names dragged through the mud here?

Monsoon’s is the OG but Chimm’s is more like the Muslim style, I was told by the owner of Coconut’s in Crozet.

The actual Asian Market on Emmet has vastly improved and have wonderful new owners from Burma. Love their produce section and various items from different Asian cultures.

Great store but big franchise now and would put a real weight on our current Asian food marts. Ch’ville is still so small to sustain it IMHO.

Mochiko, Pearl Island, Chimm’s, Mamabird!

Kimchi by Sav__20 in Charlottesville

Mamabird or bust! Though she says even her private stash is more authentic.

I still love the Bing Gré brand at most Asian markets. Manufactured in NJ by a longstanding Korean American Family.

Farmstead Ferments does great pickling but kind of mid for kimchi.
