Must Have Dish Of The Month: Mono Loco’s Grilled Corn

It is a rare occasion that a dish in cville almost succeeds in bringing me “back” to a country I have visited, and surprisingly I can thank Mono Loco this month for making it happen. Not too hungry the other night, but accompanying a friend of mine for dinner, I decided on trying the grilled corn appetizer, a new item (at least since the last time we let crazy monkeys cook for us) on the Mono Loco menu.

The Realities of Dating in Charlottesville

Middle-aged White Women

You are the most numerous in the off-Grounds singles scene. But the white men your age are so happy to be finally divorced from you that they are dating anyone but you. If you want dating success be open to cougar-ing it up and boldly going for younger guys. You will be surprised at how open they are to a post-menopausal, baby-worry-free shag. Also, be open to dating black men. If you’re in any way plump, local middle-aged black men will love you. Get thee to church. Get thee to a drum circle.

Cvillain from a Cville Newbie

I moved to Cville in August. For the first two months here I was miserable. The people were so different in Cville than anywhere else I lived, I may as well have moved to Jupiter. I had trouble breaking into this completely new culture. It was as if everyone had their own lives and just weren’t interested in adding to them.

I was lucky enough to meet some very unique people and now have some great friends (many that happen to be involved in this site).

The problem is I still feel the cold from the Cville Ice. I still notice that people here are different and I have to carry around a giant ice pick to get through.

My relief? I felt most almost at home reading this site and attending villain events.

Being new I had no idea where to eat, what to do on the weekends, or where to have drinks. This site was so helpful. I was totally hooked. Even though I never posted and rarely commented I read the site everyday at least four times a day.

I have been a loyal reader for five months. Now, new to town or not I am almost ready to quit. The Cville shut out I got around town has spread to my beloved relief at Cvillain.

It’s Raining Men!

I was recently possessed by Satan to list the relationship status of everyone I know in Charlottesville: family, friends, co-workers and playmates. I know

52 Men in Long-Term Relationships
63 Women in LTR’s
29 Single Men

and

12 Single Women.

Is this just me? Or is the percentage of single ladies in Charlottesville small across the board?

Though Cville is often at the top of Best Places to Live lists, it doesn’t make the top 25 of Money’s Best Cities for Singles. Though Blacksburg does. Looking at the profiles for Hokiesburg and State College, PA, you’d think they were describing Charlottesville. But I guess we don’t have as high a percentage of singles as they do (65% and 76% of their populations are single).

The Week in Review: 1/21/2008 to 1/27/2008

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:
