I’m looking to move to C’ville. What neighborhoods/counties are nice to raise a family.

For instance where does Howie Long live?

Thanks to Jim’s Twitter Feed for this one! Since we are being elitist, we may as well make fun of Richmond. F*ucking Capital VA!

Street lets us know that:

NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

Live audio of the teleconference will be streamed online: here.

What do you think they are going to announce?  The winner gets to hook up with Scowly.

There are plenty of choices to get your running shoes.  (Thanks, Orchid)

Charlottesville Running Company - Relatively New to the Area, but I’ve heard they are good.

Downtown Athletic - Has tons of sports stuff, but not running focused.  Not actually Downtown.

Ragged Mountain Running Shop- The oldest player in town. Very good!

Did I miss anywhere?

We got word that the X-Lounge was full of “the Russian Mob” on Saturday over the weekend.  Our informant was approached by one such Russian and asked “what are you doing here.”  He promptly left, fearing for his coolness. Apparently, the whole bar was full of these types.  No word on mail order brides.

Can anyone confirm?

Is it just me or does Charlottesville seem crazy dead this week?  I know all hell is going to break loose in the upcoming graduation week, but the downtown mall seems so empty.  What gives?!  This weekend seemed pretty slow to me too.

Possible explanations: 

1.  Zombies are starting to take over the city.

2. UVa is shutdown.

3.  The weather has given everyone a cold.

4.   I am on crazy pills.

I just read a really cool study by BlogHer and Compass Partners. They did a bunch of research to figure out what women think of blogs. The most interesting results?

Women are so passionate about blogging that large percentages of women said they would give something up to keep the blogs they read and/or write BUT, some things are sacred … only 20% would give up chocolate!

22 to 25 percent of women say they read fewer newspapers, magazines and watch less TV because of blogging.

So, ladies, I ask you… what do blogs mean to you and what do you want to see more of at Spicy Bear? Please let us know! Don’t be afraid!

The full study after the break..

Some of you probably recall our rumor from back in March about an Apple Store coming to Charlottesville. While we don’t have any more concrete evidence, we did hear through the grapevine that two certain Apple store executives were surprised when one of our informants asked them about the gossip.

Their response: “We can’t comment on upcoming stores until a certain date.” When pushed they did seem a little surprised at our knowledge of the “omni meeting.” The informant was convinced that cVillain spilled the beans, and, indeed, there is an Apple store coming to Charlottesville.

Anyway, for the 50% of you that have to drive to Richmond to fix your computers, this should be good news. Anyone have an in with the real estate folks? They have got to be thinking about putting the store on the Downtown Mall, but maybe you know better.
