Biltmore Grill is closed for good… may re-open in July as the Biltmore Grill.
The king is dead, long live the king?
Is this what it actually says? Did they mean it might re-open under a new name? Or that it is just being sold, and is simply closed in the transition?
in other news, the sales of black izods with popped collars skyrocketed in charlottesville yesterday as uva frat boys prepare for a long mourning period.
Quel tragedie to lose that fuckpit; i second Blanco’s sentiment.
Got shit kicked out of myself there by once jocks and once bouncers (separate occasions, second for having ‘provoked’ a football player). Same, i remember seeing Boyd Tinsley play there with Harry (?) Faulkner a few times.
And it was nice to know that when the Biltmore was full, that SOME-where, in some OTHER quadrant of the galaxy, there was probably not a single asshole, b/c all of them were there at Biltmore.
noooooo
This sounds like the old school play of well this is our once a year chance for a vacation so lets close, but somehow manage to reopen the weekend of something important, hmm Reunions? Midsummers?
wasn’t biltmore suffering recently?
Follow up: By important I meant an opportunity to sell a junkload of cheap awful spirits.
@ Blanco – not a single UVa frat boy owns or has ever owned by izod or pops their collar. If you’re going to make fun of someone, at least get the stereotype right.
The company that owns the Virginian, Three, and West Main bought the Biltmore and should vastly improve it from the shithole it has been the last two or three years.
Izod used to be a part of the Lacoste company, which makes polo shirts with the little alligator on them. I’m sure there are some UVa frat boys who have owned a polo shirt with a gator on it.
absolutely, Shen. check any comic strip of SORORITY AUTHORITY, and all of them have popped collars on IZOD LACOSTE shirts, alligator. i think it may be lack of prep background that would prevent the use of the one name or both for the other, as being familiar only with the newer incarnations.
Some? Some?! Does anyone in the real world really dress like these freaking kids? Swear on Thor’s hammer that one day, stopped at a traffic light, I saw the ur-prep in the form of not quite svelte yet not quite plump denoting a life of economic and worry-free leisure chickie with a blonde newscaster bob, pearl necklace, bright pink-green-white skirt just above the knees with a matching bright pink polo (collar down, thanks be to heaven), and white cable-knit sweater tied around her shoulders. Clutched in one hand was a green coach bag and she had white Keds on. And it wasn’t just one, it was a murder of them. Immediate and unconscious reaction? Laughter.
Here America, I got a new gravatar icon for ya!
/cheers!
lollllllll
@America, surely you jest.
if my treeeeeee–oooo batteries weren’t dying, i’d offer a few further UVA frat stereotypes ripe for debunking.
i think he/she meant lacoste or polo ?
I think its great that those guys can refurbish that place and make it a nice place to eat/drink. They know what they are doing and im all about the change.
Oh my – a cartoon in the Cavalier Daily depicts Greek members in one way AND there’s a picture of someone in a popped polo that has a UVa hat on and he therefore must be Greek. Ipso facto, all of them wear black Izod popped collars!
Um.. no. All I said was “here is a new gravitar icon for ya”. The rest of the absolutist foaming of the mouth is all you. I couldn’t care less what frat boys wear. You seem a wee bit defensive, what’s eating you?
I hear things are not going to change all so much, which is a good thing for those who care?
If you ask them.
