So, maybe you noticed that the latest C-VILLE Weekly covered the all night long after prom party. While we are all for booze free underage high school shindigs, we did notice that the print version of the article highlighted one part of the story:

For Charlottesville schools, the kids have a much better, and might I say, classier option, and we have a chance to do some of-age boozing to support it. »Read More
