Charlottesville on the BBC

Posted by Iron on June 14th, 2007 3 Comments

A pretty good write-up on Charlottesville was up on the BBC website yesterday. It mainly covers the Charlottesville jail which the BBC reporter describes as “unusually pleasant.” Nice to see some across-the-pond coverage of our favorite town, though perhaps next time they will spend some more time reporting on our “funky” town center instead of our laws.

Enjoy!

    “centre” was a nice touch…

    I swear someone is doing a PR campaign for Charlottesville. Did you guys read that article fromCNN?

    Jesus Christ. Two years in jail is ridiculous for serving beer to high school kids. You’d think a formal apology to the parents and community service would have sufficed. When will Americans stop being so prude?

    Boiled sweets? I had no idea we had those in the US. I wonder what we call them. What an embarrassing article: “Look at the funny little puritans!” I agree that 27 months in jail is an unjust sentence for the crime.
