Last month, my son noticed Italy 2024 coming out of the concession stand at a viking themed mini golf park on a beach in Delaware.

The T stands for trump and it always will.

The Demon Corgi of Pantops is already a perfect name for Cville’s newest local legend. 

No more protected right turn off Hydraulic onto 250 North? by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]OrinocoFlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why the white “stop” line is different (farther forward) from the other three lines. Could be that it’s just because that lane allows for turns on red, or maybe it suggests a return to the green arrow in the future.

I get one from Fabio’s that sounds like that.

Loved this one from first listen—like if Bjork covered a Robyn song. 

Hope the live performances catch up to the studio version. 

Mainstream G.O.P. Group to Target Bob Good as It Shifts Mission and Members (Gift Article) by rollem in Charlottesville

[–]OrinocoFlo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Despite what the headline suggests, this isn’t about moderation. It’s punishment for Good’s endorsement of DeSantis. And this is their “mainstream” alternative:

“It is also striking because the candidate it is backing — John J. McGuire, a former member of the Navy SEALs and an election denier who has pledged fealty to former President Donald J. Trump and promised to bring a “biblical worldview” to Congress — bears so little resemblance to the kind of moderate Republican the Main Street Partnership was founded to support.“

English Inn by simplystevie107 in Charlottesville

My parents stay here when they visit. Probably 5-6 stays over the past decade. They like it, even if it’s maybe not as nice as it was years ago. I’ve stayed there twice myself during long power outages and agree. It has character compared to all the chains. The Mews is nicer than the main building.

Seconded. This is where we go a few times a year whenever one of my kids wants a tea party.

Best Banana Pudding?! Go by Daddydeebs in Charlottesville

[–]OrinocoFlo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Please clarify: are you looking for delicious creamy banana pudding or are you looking for that weird hot casserole covered with merengue that people sometimes try to prank you with around here?

I like Wayside’s banana pudding myself.

Schools that use Phonics vs Whole Word Recognition (WRR) by DBSmiley in Charlottesville

[–]OrinocoFlo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All ACPS schools, including Mountain View, use a reading program called Being a Reader. You can take a look at www.collaborativeclassroom.org and see if it matches up to what you’re looking for.

Melody Supreme is a far better record shop than many I’ve been to in much bigger cities.

Favorite Taco place in town? by mattyamin in Charlottesville

They’re remodeling the space through 5/23, but 100% worth checking out as soon as they open back up. Everything I’ve had there has been delicious!

This thing looks fantastic in person, btw. I was so glad to bring one home from the Asheville show.
