Has Charlottesville jumped the shark?
As we all know, Charlottesville's growing popularity over the last decade has led to some big changes in our little 'ville. Like our homegrown rock stars, the Dave Matthews Band, whose rise to fame occupies nearly the same time frame, we've come a long way from those open mic nights at Eastern Standard; from a bartending job we could survive on; from those intense, dream-soaked talks over bourbon and cigarettes at Miller's; from stumbling half-drunk down the deserted Downtown Mall– which was as isolated as a ghetto from the rest of the town— to a house party in Belmont or home to a big room in an old house that cost only a few hundred a month.
