The New York Times recently wrote of the town, “Charlottesville has been discovered by those who seek a setting where privacy is respected, where there is a good balance of intellectual stimulation and lazy-dog relaxation, where the nation’s early history seems to come alive, where Southern gentility, even chivalry, still thrives and perhaps above all, where the land rolls away toward the mountain in the west with a beauty that snatches the breath at the top of each crest and the bottom of every vale.”
