The big guys like us, they really like us! The New York Times and the Washington Post, that is and one of them is back again. Following the spring/summer love notes to Charlottesville from WaPo, today’s edition includes UVA alum Ellen Ryan’s tender homage to shopping on the Mall on a recent return visit. It’s the kind of thing that the Downtown Business Association should love (sample text: "Want fun?" "Want fun food?" "Want sophistication?") and why not: With rebricking a mere week-and-a-half away, nervous merchants can use all the boosts they can get. (Click here to read C-VILLE’s cover story this week to get up to speed on what’s going to happen to six blocks of bricks and why.)
In a related note, yesterday the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun announced they will begin to share some content. Maybe we’ll be getting a big ol bear hug from our buddies in Maryland soon, too?
