So, on my daily trip to the local websites, I discovered this gem (text added for truth):
The flash thingy refers to “17 comments and counting” on an article discussing the various restaurantama news from the week (escafe rebricking pains and their new chef and the failed proposal for a creole restaurant in Belmont). While the commentary is pretty boring (think basically 3 people discussing Belmont over tea and cookies), it does bring up some interesting issues regarding the the denial of zoning rights for the creol restaurant. The owners bought a residential property next to a commercial property and hoped to rezone it for restaurant use.
/Either way, C-VILLE, to compare e-penises, we average 35 comments per post.

We’re starting a new feature this week where we put two or more similar businesses, places, restaurants or things into a sealed cage of pain, suffering and death. Ultimately only one contestant lives and it’s up to you to figure out who that is.
This week, we present C-Ville Weekly vs The Hook. In one corner we have an overzealous beast of envy who eats livers for breakfast and huffs more glue than the internet. And in the other, we have a rabid junkyard attack dog whose teeth have been replaced by poisoned razor blades. Who wins? You decide!
Which Charlottesville Rag Wins?

As typical for a cVillain week, things got rather spicy. Last week was about banning things (trans fat, bumper nuts and bags) before Armageddon hit. Between our new mascot and the discussion about platonic boy/girl friendships, it was one of our most diverse weeks yet.

The C-Ville just did some changes for a new publishing year. I’m happy.
Changes Summarized:
Stapled the Pages Together (THANK GOD)
News, Arts, Living: The 3 Sections
Bigger Font (if you add a wine section, you gotta appeal to the grey hairs so they can read it)
Do you like the changes?

I just want to thank C-VILLE and the Hook for their recent mentions. I would high-five you if I could.
This week, Restaurantarama in the C-VILLE name-dropped cvillain.com as a source of cupcake “buzz.” Read it here!
And when the Hook issued its Annual Year in Review issue, cVillain got the nod. Click here, and scroll.

I enjoyed the C-VILLE’s review of Live Arts’ A Little Night Music. Has anyone been? I’d like to hear more reviews!

I figured out that referencing NY Times Magazine articles and fussing over risotto recipes wen’t winning me any more popularity around here [than when I tied with BusRider for "favorite writer" in our readers poll], so here’s the cynical Lilith you know and tolerate. And yes, I did vote for myself, as a matter of fact. Do you think less of me? Oh you’re about to. I have a conscience, FYI, and it’s barely okay with… »Read More

Thanks, C-VILLE!

Am I the only one who saw the very last “rant” in the C’ville?
“Do you know why you should paint your canoe black? ‘Cause then it won’t tip.” (Bolding courtesy of C’ville) I’d link to it but they don’t put the Rant online.
To be fair, I had to explain this to my Canadian husband, who thought it was a joke he just didn’t get. But please, you put H—— T——– or G—– for a grocery store and let this slide????
