The long-active local developer has requested that three changes be made as part of the so-called Places29 master plan, and, at a September 5 work session, the Board of Supervisors seemed game for two of the […]
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. These funding streams, however, are beginning to appeal to local officials. "We’d be open to it," says Albemarle County police Lieutenant John Teixeira. "We have to be flexible […]
A trip to the local convenience store is apparently a dangerous endeavor. Both CVS and Family Dollar are being sued in Charlottesville Circuit Court. It’s alleged that their negligence caused customers to fall, with costly results. First, Marilyn Jean Welch is suing the Standard Drug Company (a.k.a. CVS). On March 4, 2005, Welch slipped on […]
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?

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 […]
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.
