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.
I’ve never know anything but goodness from Sydney towards his fellow man. He is one of a kind and when he’s gone Charlottesville will be the worst off for it. Happy Birthday Sydney and hope you have as many more as your heart desires.
Congrats to Sidney, 85 is a milestone!!! He is as much Charlottesville as TJ. Originally met him at Cabell Hall back in my UVA days. Spent many a morning with him at the Blue Moon Diner in the 80’s and then have always enjoyed his harmonica interludes with the Hogwaller Ramblers.
