Charlottesville Police made an arrest this past Friday in relation to the Exxon station robbery on the 12th, and the Wendy’s restaurant theft on the 14th. Richard Bernard Conry, 22, was arrested on October 2nd at a Charlottesville home. The Exxon attack left the cashier injured, and requiring medical attention at UVa.
No word on exactly how much cash was taken during the two heists, however, Conry has been charged with five felonies, including Robbery (x2), Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Robbery (x2), and one count of Malicious Wounding.
Conry adds the above charges to a few more minor incidences, namely a Larceny charge in 2006, and Using Abusive Language, in ’05. [Photo Credits - The City Of Charlottesville]
Aah, the Downtown Mall. A place for family and friends during the day, and drunken brawls by night.
While walking up the mall this past Friday, a few Villains and I were confronted with a rather large crowd. Of cops. Twenty two of them in fact, along with eight cruisers, two firetrucks, two ambulances, and one individual on a stretcher.
Apparently a fight had broken out inside of a certain downtown club, and spilled out onto 3rd Street. At least one individual was hospitalized due to head trauma.
While attempting to take photos of the incident, an unspecified officer heckled our photographer with the question “Haven’t you ever seen flashing blue lights before?”, to which we responded “Yes, but we report on the news. Smile!” Unfortunately he didn’t.
This marks the second time in two months I’ve come upon police presence on the mall in relation to a fight, all around the 2AM time frame. So the question begs to be asked, do you feel safe on the mall after the bars close down?
National PARK(ing) Day just finished up for 2009, in front of Blue Moon Diner on West Main Street. This is an event started in San Fransisco which has recently gained nationwide attention. They reclaimed three parking spaces from the inevitable pavement march, for just 5 short hours, and converted them back into the greenery which once stood there. Or at least that was the national idea. Charlottesville instead made it into a living room/jam area. Our local anti-parking instigator was unavailable for comment, but we managed to snap a few pics. Anyone get the chance to check it out? We would have to say it looks more like a yard sale then a green movement.
But they certainly are making some odd noises and seem to be experiencing delirium tremens from time to time. So we are here to figure out just what they might contain, and we need your help. We’re inviting all you readers to submit your favorite ideas for the sites future mascot (or mascots… one good, one evil perhaps?) The ONLY components of Scowly’s DNA that we KNOW carried through is the mask and cape, after all, what kind of champion for change and cheap drinks could he or she be if getting constantly recognized?

Get your pencils/wacom tablets out, and start doodling!
A new study finds that men lie up to six times per day, around twice that of women. These little fibertyjibits are targeted at bosses, colleagues, and of course, the mighty S.O.’s of the world (significant others). [Read More]
Here is a listing of what both women & men lie about, and now lets kick off a Poll to see what us Villains choose to lie about:

Playboy’s ‘Girls Of ACC’ issue, which includes one UVa student, is on newsstands now. The Hefner crew stopped by last March for our screening, and apparently our little Jenna Arianna (her first and middle names) made the final cut. She is listed as a rather cunning linguist, and we thank her for exactly the exposure Charlottesville needs. (No I’m not joking, I’m completely serious.)
This video has been making the viral rounds and it brings up an interesting debate. I know at least 5 friends who have started to shave the male bush. Is this a new trend started by this ad or is it something that people are cooler talking about because of the video. It’s an important debate we must have.
