I just read that the lease for Casella’s is not being renewed [Restaurantarama, March 18, 2007]. Nine years ago we moved from Connecticut to Orange, and on our first visit to Charlottesville, we ate at Casella’s and have continued to eat there 99 percent of the time. In New England we ate in many famous […]

Your editorial on the backpedaling of The Cavalier Daily on their offensive comic strip [Read This First, March 18, 2007] was most interesting. You are right, Christians do sometimes lose their heads when their faith is assaulted, but isn’t it wonderful that with Christians at least the cartoonists don’t lose theirs?

It would have been nice if you called and talked to me before you tried to advance your newspaper career by calling me names…
Living in a vacuum Your article on why paperless isn’t happening [“Between the sheets, February 26, 2008] reminded me of a story I heard about the introduction of the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner was intended to make keeping floors and carpets clean easier, more effective, more efficient, faster. Instead, it raised the standard of […]
I am a general population inmate at Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail and I’m compelled to respond to the rant in the February 26 issue of C-VILLE regarding a caller’s alleged “pampered with pizza, candy and Super Bowl TV” treatment of the local inmates. This “absolutely horrified” ranter compares the local jail to a “daycare” facility, and […]
Boris Starosta: The issue of creeping across the stop bar at an intersection, while trying to make a left turn in front of on-coming traffic is inherently dangerous [“Intersection rage,” Mailbag, February 12, 2008]. Although our politicians haven’t written and passed a specific law prohibiting this behavior, it is aggressive and risky. Virginia Traffic Code (46.2-846) […]

Since Eastern Mennonite’s WEMC signal on 91.7 FM cannot be heard in Charlottesville, there are now fewer opportunities for Classical music radio listening in the Charlottesville area. [“What’s the frequency, Martha?” 7 Days, January 14, 2007] WVTF would like to let folks know that even though WMRA has abandoned the classical music genre in Charlottesville […]
I have some comments regarding Scott Weaver’s interesting article about Monticello [“Monticello shows ‘green’ is old news”] in the Development News section of the January 15-21 issue. Actually, I was wondering if he was pulling our leg when he wrote, “…TJ switched out standard candles for argon and whale oil candles…” Or, possibly his source […]
I am writing to respond to the question “Where…are the Jews?” in a recent rant [The Rant, January 8, 2007]. Congregation Beth Israel was founded in Charlottesville in 1882. The congregation currently has more than 400 members who attend Reform services on Friday nights or lay-led Conservative services on Saturday mornings. CBI also serves as […]
