Inquiring children want to know
In case you\’ve been living under a rock (or a giant asteroid), Al Gore\’s An Inconvenient Truth has been tearing into theaters recently, leaving a heated global warming debate in its wake. But how “real” is this whole global warming thing, anyway? Well, to make sure that kids have the right facts, the Environmental Protection Agency is offering a cheerful website that helps concerned youngsters learn more about the science of global warming.
Go wine (to Richmond)
If the name of your business were “Vavino: The Virginia Wine Bar,” and it suddenly became harder to legally sell Virginia wines, you might feel you had a leetle problem on your hands.
Fleurie
Feeling rather fancy, we decided to spring for a très upscale feast at the French bistro Fleurie.
You’re not in Kansas anymore
Yet another sign that our cozy little town is, in fact, big-city material: the notorious online swap meet (and meat market) Craigslist has finally come to Char-lottesville. The popular online classified site is the brainchild of Craig Newmark, who started the service in 1995 in the San Francisco area. Five years later, Boston got its […]
Capshaw back in Ten
When a rumor comes home to roost, it’s nearly as satisfying as a perfect cup of miso soup. For many a month, Restaurantarama has been hearing these whispers: Sushi this, Blue Light Grill that. It made perfect sense to us that Coran Capshaw’s restaurant empire, which is already six properties strong, would expand before too long, and the idea of a second-floor eatery above Blue Light seemed plausible enough. But we couldn’t get Capshaw’s restaurant director, Michael Keaveny, to spill the beans (cue movie-trailer voice)⦠until now.

Since we live in America, however, we have to consume stimulants and power right through those afternoon doldrums like the dedicated capitalists that we are. A cappuccino and a cookie from Splendora’s made one recent afternoon a little less woozy. As we chewed, we […]
Get stuffed!
If you feel like this is a busy time of year, what with end-of-school events, class reunions, graduations andâdon\’t forget!âall of those June weddings, just think about the busy caterers who are keeping all of these revelers well fed. Fred Bossardt, owner and chef at Simply Delicious Catering, is one of those hard-working culinary masters. From weddings to university events for 600, June is keeping Bossardt on the move.
We Ate Here!
The only thing better than the verdant, mountainous setting around Nellysford is the fact that it’s home to some pretty outstanding Italian food. We sat on the deck at D’Ambola’s on a perfect June evening, when all we needed was a little appetizer to tide us over. The fried zucchini, despite its unassuming name, was […]
The countdown begins…
Bored.com, the procrastinator\’s heaven, offers yet another way for slackers to pass the workday more quickly (aside from setting up an online lemonade stand or creating a virtual pizza for your friends, which are my personal favorites). Now you can find out how long you\’ll live\’for free!
