I noticed that there wasn’t a review on this. You don’t have to post this, cause I know my restaurant reviews suck, plus I can’t spell restaurant [fixed by editor].

My office went there the other day, and they kindly put together three tables to suit our 10 person party. The other option was to sit outside, but it was about to rain, and the man at the door made a good point, “if eet start to rain, and no table inside, you stay outside.” They set up the tables quickly and had us seated.

The menu is short, but varied. I’ve had a few things now. The meatloaf is awesome. The pork tostada looked great, but the report was that it wasn’t totally filling. I know the fried chicken is also a good choice. Everything is presented very colorfully, and yummily. This particular time I order the special, catfish tacos. They were great. I added some Sriracha sauce, cause I like things hot. I got it on my pants. I do that.

This is one of those places that forgot to or intentionally didn’t redecorate at the end of the 80’s. or maybe the 70’s. But I like the retro feel to it. The booths, however, are a little uncomfortable. The service is excellent and very cute. I like how they work together and that no one server has one table. The lunch prices are a little higher than other places ($8-12) but the food is totally worth it, in my opinion.

How about some other reviews of this place?

If you haven’t had a chance to witness a C.L.A.W. (Charlottesville Ladies Arm Wrestling) event, I’ve found a pretty cool video on YouTube of a match between Pitbull and Sparkles.

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

For instance where does Howie Long live?

While we may think that a culturally superior Charlottesville doesn’t face the strange laws of our Virginian relatives, but the truth hurts.  This time it’s about Halloween, slugs and pool halls…

On May 17th and 18th, this Friday and Saturday, Charlottesville will face The University of Virginia Graduation Weekend 2008. If you haven’t noticed, zombie week is really just calm before all hell breaks loose. In fact, graduation weekend is such a hellish time, that UVA even has an office devoted to it called (cue deep scary voice) “The Office of Major Events.” I’m not kidding, check out the website. I heard they wanted to name it Office for Hell on Earth, but that offended the religious right.

Oh and if you want to graduate virtually, you can even watch a live internet broadcast run by the Office of Major Events.

So despite this impending nightmare, Charlottesville residents, future worker bees and their relieved parents all storm Charlottesville like it’s June 6th, 1944, only this time it’s May 17th, 2008 and we’re going to call it G-Day. Why do they do it? Who knows, but maybe we can help you out a little…

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 just got word via David Swanson and  confirmed by the Daily Progress that Cindy Sheehan will be speaking at the Omni Hotel on May 22nd from 7PM to 9PM.  Tickets will be available at the door and cost $10 for students; $20 for general admission; $50 for admission and a photo with Sheehan; and $100 for admission, a photo with Sheehan and priority seating.

Seriously, $100 for a photo?  I guess now that she’s trying to be an elected politician, she needs the money, but this seems a little odd.  Where is that money going? To her California campaign or to anti-war stuff.  I guess this time, the pro-war protesters won’t be present.  Or will they?

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.
