County bridges are easy to search on the national Bridge Inventory (NBI). The city bridges are not.
Here’s a really bad one that if I recall The Hook or C-Ville missed in its recent story:

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up for your week in review.
We got villains dissing on wine bars, gunshots at the Outback and some Grecian food. Don’t forget to stop around back to sample our smelly PR move, celebrity wannabies, and your favorite musical acts. When you leave, grab the gift bag– it’s full of tats, lawsuits, and monkey sex. Enjoy!

Besides the lovely complexity of having too much wine this week, we break the story on Pink Paintballs, (hopefully) find a restaurantuer a chef partner, chat with bartenders and break a rumor of a high end steak place. Oh, we also make some rule.
The week in review continues below:

Apparently, this dude is on an existential quest to discover and record the locations of all 2,100 historical markets in Virginia. I am not making this up.
Visit Jason Watson’s site: Historical Markers. He even has an interactive map where you can browse through the 1,300 or so he’s already marked. Wicked cool. You can also view some of his other pictures.

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.

I mean seriously. The list of school closings was harming my ability to enjoy 106.1 this morning. 
First, the government decides to clear all primary roads first. Who would have thought that was a smart decision to make? [WCAV]
The bread, milk, eggs, snow shovels and water disappear from area stores.
Every school system closes. This means more gangs, duh.
Charlottesville drivers decide to navigate like inebriated 80 year olds.
Parents freak out about their kids’ safety (which is ok, but it’s not like they are being held hostage).
Sledding!
What else? I’m excited we are actually getting a big snow. Skiing anyone?

First, it was a texting ban, now it’s a ban on Truck Nuts. Truck nuts are those fake balls that hang from the back of your trailer hitch and attract unsuspecting ladies to your “ride.” Now, a politician is trying to get rid of them for good.
