That being said, we explored Albermarle up 29, I hated it, it's nothing but a strip mall nightmare. No character at all, all typical chains and the traffic headaches you would find in any other city in the US, there is nothing in the 29 north area that lets you know you are in C-Ville.
So now we are considering Crozet ot Lake Monticello, have not seen either yet, we are planning trips very soon.

You really need to get out into the county on the back roads. Yeah, 29 North has been built out and is strip mall hell at this point. Go off the beaten path a bit. Out to Free Union, Earlysville, White Hall, etc.... I think you'll be pleased.
