No gang grants for local cops
Despite warning of growing local gang activity, authorities in Charlottesville and Albemarle County are currently not receiving any federal or state funding designated for fighting gang violence.

Slippery Store Suits Sweep Courts
A trip to the local convenience store is apparently a dangerous endeavor. Both CVS and Family Dollar are being sued in Charlottesville Circuit Court.

Get your goat law
Dear Ace: Can I keep a goat as a pet? And where’s the whole pet/livestock distinction there? Could I sell my pet goat’s milk at the City Market?—Bill E. Gotes Bill: Seriously?

Fall's best drama
Forget the courtroom dramas and hot doctor shows. For some of us, there’s only one soap opera worth watching: college football, a program that shows no signs of ever getting canceled. Fall means something to watch all day every Saturday. Though some might argue for the cartoonish physiques and league parity of the pros, college […]
Supes try to delay rural "protections" vote
After the public has said its piece and left, and most of the staff has vanished into the night—that’s when the Board of Supervisors can really start talking.
