May 2, 2023: Charlottesville City Council returns to in-person meetings; More transportation projects in the city could be canceled

I became a writer to try to understand what was going on in my head and to process feelings that no one around me seemed to want to hear about. May 2 is Childhood Depression Awareness Day, and I’m reminded of how confusing the world seemed to be when I was younger and how much I retreated from everything. 2023 seems to be more intimidating to young people than 1983 was to me, and I’m hopeful that somehow we can all figure out how to treat each other with respect. I’m Sean Tubbs, hoping you’ll pick up a pen and start writing out your life, too. On today’s program:* Charlottesville City Council returns to in-person meetings* The city may soon have a new City Attorney * Several updates from interim Charlottesville City Manager Michael C.
