    Now this is a business that fits spendidly into our picturesque rural landscape. 250 in Albemarle County is still one of the most beautiful drives around, let us all make sure it isn’t ruined.

    I think I have only left negative comments on this website, so I’ll be making my first positive one today: I really enjoy the snapshots you all have been putting up…our local culture/atmosphere is really beautiful and it is nice that it is here for all to see.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
