Charlotte-based Crescent Communities has announced the opening of LTH Coffee & Social at its multifamily development Novel West Nashville.
Founded in 2008, Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee (LTH) sources beans grown in Rwanda and supports the coffee farmers of that African nation via its “Do Good Initiative.”
The coffee shop, which was designed to serve both Novel (stylized as NOVEL ) residents and non-residents alike, transitions from a café during the day to a lounge in the evenings. The interior features sofas, study spaces, bar seating, a pool table, a skee-ball machine, an arcade table and a live performance stage.

At the start of the year YMCA of Central Virginia launched a new program called the Give Back and Do Good Initiative, with the objective to support a different non-profit or cause each month of the year.
To kick off the program, the YMCA hosted a coat drive during the month of January, delivering over 500 gently used coats to the Salvation Army and Lynchburg City Public Schools, according to Association Director of Development Mary Taylor.
“The goal is to help those who truly need help in our community,” Taylor said. “That’s what we’re here for. If we can help all those people that don’t have the things that we’re blessed to have, then we know we’ve been successful in these non-monetary drives.”
