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.
Actually the perfect time to go out is during the graduation ceremony. There is nobody on the road and it’s a fine time to see a movie or shop. It is a tiny window and I don’t have the times. Anyone?
However do stockup on supplies tonight because it does get bad tomorrow
I’m leaving for DC on Sunday afternoon, should I leave really early to get there?
I think graduation starts at 10 am on Sunday. Then the schools have their ceremonies around 12 pm.
I live on JPA and it really hasn’t been too bad - more pedestrian traffic than anything else, it seems. There’s a bit more traffic than a typical Sunday but not bad. I also went downtown around 3:30 and it was really kind of slow there. I found street parking easily.
Things were pretty rough on Emmett around 3pm. But it was no worse than 5:15pm on any weekday.
