On Thursday, Jan 8th, 2009, real estate analyst Jim Duncan of RealCentralVA, joined Coy Barefoot on WINA’s “Charlottesville– Right Now” to discuss the troubles with the community’s housing market. Will it get worse before it gets better? Duncan doesn’t know, and says that no one really knows because the fundamentals of the market are still in flux.

Other topics:

Chris Graham is the publisher of the Augusta Free Press and he joined Coy Barefoot on the January 5, 2009 edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” Topics of conversation include the topsy-turvy price of gas, Governor Tim Kaine’s appointment to chair the Democratic National Committee, Terry McAuliffe’s candidacy to replace Kaine, Brian Moran’s campaign to do the same, as well as Senator Creigh Deeds bid. Graham predicts Deeds will be at a disadvantage because he cannot fundraise while the General Assembly is in session.

On Monday, January 5th 2009, Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris joined Charlottesville Right Now to talk about City Council’s agenda for the coming year. They begin that talk by discussing their mutual discovery of Facebook and then move on to Forrest Marshall’s request to rename the Meadowcreek Parkway after John Warner. Norris is a staunch opponent of the road and says it would be disingenuous to weigh in on what it should be called. Coy and Norris then move on to having a philosophical discussion of affordable housing, workforce development and the City’s upcoming budget cycle. Norris said that the City will not need to raise its property taxes this year.

On November 4, 2008, Democrat Tom Perriello achieved what almost no one thought he could do. He defeated Republican incumbent Virgil Goode by only 745 votes. What were the factors that led to Perriello’s victory?

Happy New Year!

What better way to cure those holiday post-yuletide-depression-blues than with a brand spanking new episode of So Called Critics!

We know the prospect of keeping those new years resolutions are grim, so this episode we’re giving you our top five dark comedies to lighten your spirits. Also we’ve got reviews of Burn After Reading and Spies Like Us, two movies that deal with buffoons and our newly coined phrase The Idiot Ambition. (You can use that one — it’s free:) John Landis is well known for his comedic undertakings, but can the Coen Brothers rekindle the comedic flame that was The Big Lebowski after the I’m-so-serious-and-I-deserve-an-Oscar No Country for Old Men? Tune in to find out!

On the January 4th edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, Rick Moore welcomes returning favorite guest Lee Channing, Intuitive Consultant, to talk about the energies and colors that can guide us into the new year. The many callers had questions about personal guidance, lost pets, and relationships.
