Living

Every year we at C-VILLE wait in giddy anticipation of the Best Of survey results and we wonder: Will this be the year of a major upset in the pizza category? Of course not, you say! Duh, you say.

Like Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction, we love it when we're at a restaurant, and we go to the bathroom and find our food waiting when we return.

Let's just pretend, you and me, that we got a little car problem. Speaking hypothetically of course, let's say we had a car…maybe a truck even, a 1999 Nissan Frontier with 124,893 miles on it, a purely hypothetical truck that we bought in Texas, rode to Utah, a truck that saw us through to Vermont, packed us up and moved us to Virginia. We love this purely hypothetical truck, you and me, almost more than our mothers.

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.

Y'all couldn't decide whether you liked Observatory Hill or Walnut Creek Park better for a place to self-punish atop a mountain bike. So, as we do with every big decision around here, we took it straight to the top.

We have to say, we were a little disappointed in our readers' choice for Best Place To Get It On. Home? How boring is that? But we suppose it is good to keep that sort of thing private.

There might be some sweet places to park illegally without consequences, but it seems that not all Charlottesville drivers are so sneaky.
