What were you doing when we called? Sleeping. You woke me up. Tell us about your day job. I don’t have a job. Every day, I wake up, and then I write and practice lyrics for at least two hours. And then what I usually do after that is go to the Music Resource […]
One local bakery is preparing to change hands. According to Craigslist, a spot with “growing retail sales as well as established wholesale accounts” is on the market for $130,000. Trouble is, it’s unclear which bakery it is. Here are the context clues: The ad mentions nearby soon-to-open professional offices and retail spaces, and says the […]
There are times when a reviewer is taken down a peg. Admittedly, the outstanding quality of the Heritage Theatre Festival’s season opener, My Fair Lady, was one of those moments for this critic.

But as C-VILLE assembled its new Power Issue we learned that, in the two years since we last ranked our mightiest locals, time can turn the powerful […]
"I am looking through images for this Charlottesville City schools website, compiling new pictures to go up on the site. I teach art to everyone at Clark Elementary and half the population at Greenbrier. This is my ninth year teaching."
Happy birthday! Keeping a restaurant afloat in this town ain’t easy. It takes more than good service and a bangin’ menu to keep a customer in. You need a good reputation, too. Enter Sticks. The Preston Avenue kebob shop has served up tasty (and healthy!) food on a stick for 10 years as of this […]
