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.

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.

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).

I See You Baby!
I love the “I Saw You” section of The Hook because I always dream that I will be seen! But I never am. I guess I can’t be seen very well behind a wall of books. So I thought I’d start such a post on cVillain. Since it’s free and interactive, maybe more people will write who they saw and slathered over. And maybe the median age of the people posting won’t be twice mine, like in the C-ville and Hook personals pages. And maybe someone will unknowingly slather over me.
If you are the guys who rolled past me in the black sedan one dark night last August…please forget you saw me.
Spring’s liberation of citizens onto Charlottesville’s sidewalks is what inspires this idea, so I’ll kick it off with my own heretofore unpublished I See You Baby’s. »Read More

Apparently, a 70-person brawl happened at 7PM on Saturday near Putt Putt Lane. You can’t make this stuff up. Police explained no one was injured and the fight resulted from a recent fight at Charlottesville High School. Police estimated between 50 and 75 people were involved. Does anyone have more details on this?

Take 64 West to the Wintergreen exit. Turn left on 250 West, then left on 151 South. The Blue Mountain Brewery will be on your left. GO! Tomorrow night! (They’re closed Monday and Tuesday, but they shave a buck off every pint tomorrow.)
My friend and I were headed that way to go wine tasting, so the brewery was a surprise ending to what was already a relaxing, warm Sunday in the Blue Ridge. We each had the tasting sampler, six shot-size pours of beer for $5. [Note: I just got up to get a beer, just because reflecting on the beer made me want one. Unfortunately, Budweiser is not doing it for me like the Kolsch.] We split a cup of their parsnip soup with truffle oil drizzle ($3.50 I think) and the meat and cheese plate (not more than $10) and were treated to home made mustard. The value was great. Beer-lovers will be impressed, and beer-not-so-muchers can drink wine from Nelson County wineries. The food is all local, as far as I remember, and I would have taken home a growler of the soup if I could have. (But, then, I didn’t ask…)
