Will work for change I’m writing in response to your cover story, “Asking For Change” [July 20]. I was disturbed by the comments of business owners and citizens. One business owner said, “We’re watching guys and women…who are quite capable of working…but they choose panhandling instead.” He believes the culprit in the increase […]

Readers respond to a previous cover story and a Green Living column by Green Scene blogger Erika Howsare.
Weed wackiness Erika Howsare: Good article, “A quest for less lawn” [Green Living, June 29]. You rightly point out that if you stop mowing, trees start growing. It would be the same if you tried starting a meadow. It could only be done with lots of hand weeding or spraying of trees, poison ivy, prickly […]
Whole endorsement Gawd—trashy Kmart should be happy to get upscale Whole Foods within feet of them [“City to join Whole Foods suit?,” Development News, June 15]. Did they think it might possibly bring them more business? With Super Walmart coming in, they should count this as a blessing! Kimberly Farish Charlottesville Coal ain’t cool […]

Road to hell I appreciate C-VILLE’s coverage of the City of Charlottesville’s continued attempts to seize private property (Steephill Street) for a public purpose without going through a lawful process [“On the Road Again,” Government News, May 25, 2010]. Native sons Madison, Monroe, and Jefferson would be horrified. Thankfully, the press is still free […]
Come out of the cave! Our gun laws are far too liberal [“Virginia is for gun lovers,” Government News, April 20]. The U.S. is now aligned with the backward countries rather than those in the forefront of civilized development. For me it’s stretching things a bit to allow only hunting guns, exclusively for hunting because […]
How low can you go? Disgust is not nearly a strong enough word for the way I feel in regards to your article on former UVIMCO CEO Chris Brightman [“Could Brightman’s ‘personal’ reasons for leaving UVIMCO be an affair with his assistant?” April 13]. It’s sad that I have to question the moral integrity […]
