No direction home The question about what North Garden is “north” of [“Northern Exposure,” Ask Ace, November 10], illustrates how Charlottesville-centric we are in this area. Having moved from Charlottesville to North Garden several years ago, I had the same question and the most plausible explanation I have heard is that is located (sort of) […]

May I unhelp you? Jonathan Keifer: Please, oh please, do your homework before writing your review next time [“Dude, where are the Coen bros?” November 3]. A Serious Man is an interpretation of the Book of Job. While it may also have some personal Coen brother touches, it is just about as far from anti-semitic […]
Separate and equal Being a loyal customer to Fleurie for the last five years, I was incredibly disappointed when I saw the recipe published recently by the “executive chef”, Brian Helleberg, of Fleurie [Food and Drink Annual, October 20]. While he is a chef and owner, it should be noted that he is, in fact, […]
Regarding the article about Professor Ruddiman [“Humans began changing climate 7,000 years ago,” UVA News, October 6], I pose the following query: What vehicles, factory smokestacks, home furnaces, etc. did the population possess 5,000 years ago generating CO2? Also, is the current melting of the Martian icecaps due to the Martians riding around in their […]
Roll of the Dice Thank you for devoting space to the increasing traffic pressure that City development policy is exerting on streets least able to bear it [“Fifeville, a traffic hazard,” Government News, September 15]. Your focal point—the intersection of Fifth Street S.W. and Dice Street (really two intersections rather than one)—illustrates the problem particularly […]
Why they keep coming back I’m currently a participant in the Re-entry program here at our local jail. I find your article[“Freedom’s just another word,” September 1] very interesting and deja-vu-ish, because I’ve been waiting for the longest time to voice my opinion to someone who has an ear and also are willing to address […]
Froggy went a-courtin’ A current vogue of C-VILLE folks lament the lack of mates [“Charlottesville men speak,” Today’s Date, August 18]. To me it seems not lack of stock but more of sour grapes. Be not tepid nor glance aside from one you may adore. When fortune knocks then quell your fear be bold and […]
Must love dogs Thanks to Chiara for her little piece on (from?) the Landmark Hotel [“Best fail,” Features, August 11]. Amusing and well written, more from her please. Love the dogs. W/R/T the bit on Wood Grill, it’s “retch” —not wretch. Nice “Best Of” issue, especially the C-Ville Sit, Stay picks. It’s the best of […]
Growth happens I have heard all the arguments for and against the current water supply plan, especially concerning the new Ragged Mountain Dam and the proposed pipeline [“RWSA provides Gannett Fleming costs, takes heat at board meeting,” Development News, August 4]. What concerns me is that those that are opposed to the new dam have […]
Rah rah for the road Andrew Cedermark’s article [“This way to the Parkway,” July 21] walked us around the best reasons we are building a Meadowcreek Parkway. He followed the nearly impassable and underused, land-locked route, and took us the shortest route from downtown to Northern Albemarle. We avoided the 29/Hydraulic/Bypass bottleneck congestion. And we […]
