Hear Together: The Haven Run For Home 8k

The Haven is a day shelter and housing resource center in downtown Charlottesville.

For the last 15 years, The Haven has provided shelter, food, basic services, AND housing for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

They’re hosting their 15th annual Run For Home 8k on Saturday, March 8th. The Haven welcomes you to walk or run your way through historic downtown Charlottesville as they work to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring in our community.

Each participant is invited to stick around for a post-race breakfast.

Sense of Place, Boston Encore: Pixies on World Cafe

In 2019, the Pixies classic album Doolittle turned 30 years old, and the band stopped by World Cafe to play a song from Doolittle as well as music from what was then their latest album, Beneath the Eyrie. On the next World Cafe, lead singer Black Francis shares stories about recording in upstate New York, a run-in he had with a deer, and listening to early Pixies demos from when the band was first starting out.
