On Fridays, we feature five food finds selected by local chefs and personalities. Today’s picks come from Walter Slawski of The Shebeen and The Catering Outfit. Slawski’s picks: 1) “Newest addiction.” Notorious P.I.G. at Ivy Provisions. “A charcuterie-lover’s dream in some of the best baguette outside of Paris.

Walking on the Downtown Mall, I glance at a storefront window reflection and ask, “Who’s that old lady?” In a flash of recognition I know: I am the old lady. When did I get this old? My friends are aging also. While I used to deplore any conversation that mentioned health for more than 30 […]

The Downtown Mall store is an exclusive chalk paint stockist (the […]
Most days you’ll find Dimitri Stamos behind the cash register at Charlottesville’s Market Street Market. But while his face may look familiar, he’s banking on his voice to strike a chord with kids. His album, 10 Animal Songs, features fun, lively music that appeals to all ages. We caught up with the Charlottesville resident about […]
The view from Ken and Britton Horne’s large living room windows could easily be mistaken for a depiction from the Civil War, with rolling hills spreading out at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, cows slowly ruminating, resting under huge trees, lonely structures in the distance. The occasional noise of a passing car is the […]
