The art of words Thank you to Jayson Whitehead for covering developments in the current plans for the Old Crozet Elementary School [“Could Crozet Elementary be reborn as an arts academy?” Development news on c-ville.com, May 12]. A couple of clarifications: The photo of the building that appears in C-VILLE is not the Old Crozet […]

Lease to own I disagree with Dr. Brown [“Residents contend vote on YMCA violates state constitution,” Government News, May 5]. There is no question in my mind that someone structured this as a lease to purposely get around the state law requiring a “super” majority. I think this is a very good law to require […]
Brew masters It was a real honor to open up C-VILLE [“More power to them,” April 28] and see myself listed as an up-and-comer in the local food and eats scene! Recognition is always so gratifying, and it was such a treat to have that surprise this week. I felt a little bad, though, the […]
Ho ho ho You ask, “Did the Assembly do the right thing” in refusing Fed Funds [“Virginia politics must be over-stimulated,” The Odd Dominion, April 28]?: Bravo, General Assembly! I, for one, am proud of our great Commonwealth for standing up and saying “No thanks” to the Fed and even prouder still that we set […]
Thanks for writing a fair article regarding the tea party [“Hundreds protest federal spending on Tax Day,” Government News, April 21].

Free lunch I am responding to a rant in the April 7 issue of C-VILLE regarding our local Meals on Wheels program receiving stimulus money from the federal government.

Fighting words J. Tobias Beard: You suggest in your opening paragraph that the second knockout by Liston resulted in Patterson “ending his career” [“Lords of the ring,” March 17]. As a boxing historian, former NYC Golden Glover, recent trainer, certified referee and often-published boxing commentator and radio guest on the subject, let me correct you: […]
Squash, courted Forever enshrined in my memory is the wonderful fried zucchini I had at a celebratory lunch at Ristorante Amalfi, after a successful presentation on Madison Avenue, over 30 years ago [“Crush to become Tavola,” Restaurantarama, March 17]. I never could find it again until suddenly, I looked down, and there it was on […]
Your roots are showing When I was a lad living at the end of N. First Street our neighbor, Mr. Sam Fitch, whose property ran all the way to what is now McIntire Road, kept a nice coop of chickens along with an appreciative rooster [“Chickens raise concerns when barnyard is backyard,” Development News, February […]
