December 8 is the 342nd day of the year, and December 8, 2023 is the 8,742nd day since the end of the 1900’s.

There are an infinite number of details that matter to each of us, and Charlottesville Community Engagement seeks to help people understand a little more about interactions in local government. I’m Sean Tubbs, still mind-boggled by the ebbs and flows of time.
