About
This is a community news blog about Charlottesville, VA, USA, started in March of 2001. It's run by Waldo Jaquith. It has nothing to do with C-Ville Weekly, the newspaper. Feel free to submit a story.
Okay, so what’s the deal? Mary Bauer needs 120,000 dollars a year to keep this program up and running? (I think that’s accurate - that’s what I get for skimming)
So, tell us how we can contribute to this cause: Will you post an address, and tell us who to make the checks out to?
