We’ve got the Best of C-VILLE, but what about the priciest? At a few of this year’s winning retailers, we went poking around—for no real reason except maybe some kind of weird class envy—in search of the highest-priced item we could find there. Perusing Whole Foods Market, we spotted a 16-ounce container of pasteurized jumbo lump crab meat: $31.99. Then we traveled to the Ivy Nursery and were wowed not by a plant or a tree, but rather a sculpted concrete fountain with an angel and a small collection pool—a cool $792. Finally, we jogged to the Corner to visit the Ragged Mountain Running Shop and eyed all of the electronic running gear. Spendiest? The Timex Body Link, which checks your heart rate, shows your location via GPS and contains a data recorder—and sells for $275.
