Hi! I’m moving to Charlottesville from Germany in about a month and have a son in grade 2. He can speak English as well as Korean, so there shouldn’t be any language barriers.

I’m not sure on the process on how to enroll him into US public school aside from what I have found on google, but are there any recommendations for schools based on quality of education, quality of staff, and any extra considerations? We haven’t decided on a neighborhood yet since that will be based on the school we choose.

Any feedback is helpful!

Anyone else hear them? Sounded like some drag racers or something at first...maybe some fully automatic fire, followed a few seconds later by maybe 4 or 5 shots. Another 5 shots a few minutes later, around 12:45am.

I just left the Kendall Street Company concert tonight at the Jefferson after talking to a really nice guy and I regret not getting his number. I didn’t catch his name but we talked about plants and foosball, and I remember that his friend works at Gabriele Rausse winery. Our birthdays are also a day apart. Please feel free to DM me if you’re him and you’re interested :)

Does anyone have any shops that have some nice and/ or cheap incense? I’ve seen some at the Green Cauldron on the Downtown Mall and a tiny bit at the Tea Bazaar. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Any Yankee fans want to get together and watch somewhere? Where are the best bars to head to this October?

Is there anywhere in town that has good Mortadella? Or above average charcuterie in general? I checked foods of all nations with no luck, and the prepackaged boar’s head samplers I’ve gotten at grocery stores aren’t doing it for me.

Any weekend winery, brewery, or fall events that should be on my radar?

Man is straight up threatening people with violence ever day

New to Charlottesville and hoping to find a dentist in town that does affordable teeth cleanings. I have Virginia Medicaid, but all of the offices that accept Medicaid aren’t accepting new patients right now unfortunately. So if anyone knows somewhere to get a teeth cleaning for a reasonable price, please share below!

I’m (M25) looking for other people to ride with. I ride most weekends around Albemarle county. 25-60 mile rides at 15-18mph if anyone is interested in joining!

Avoid this creep if at possible, hopefully he will return home and take his roadside trash with him.

I’m planning to take my partner to humpback rock today, but I know there was some flooding in town and closure of the blue ridge parkway due to Helene. This may be a long shot, but does anyone know if the hike is accessible today? We are only in town for a couple days and live far away, so this will be our only chance to go for a while. I appreciate any info anyone can give!

I'm trying to find a PCP that accepts Medicaid. I know it's difficult because Medicaid pays less and even if they accept it, they usually have a long waitlist before you can get help.

I'm a UVA student but there don't seem to be family related support groups here. I was wondering if there's something in the wider Charlottesville area

Any recommendations?

Does anyone know / have any ideas where I might be able to catch the Jets v Vikings game on Sunday (Oct 6) at 930am? The few places I could think of that play the nfl games don't open until 11am 🤔

Just kind of curious which bathrooms in Charlottesville at restaurants/hotels/etc have the best design/decor/overall aesthetic

I remember they used to offer you a cold bottle of Coke when you looked around the store. That was the best thing about them. Do they still do it?

Not sure what’s going on.

Anyone know what’s going on with all the cops and fire engines on Elliott across from the IX park entrance? There was someone on the ground in handcuffs I think and dozens of cops blocking all the routes around there.

Just a rant and I usually try not to complain too much. But this older dude has turned sixth street into his personal used car lot, more like storage facility because he won’t sell anything. I am a car guy and usually don’t care, but there are so many now that whenever I try to go straight or turn left onto 6th from Blenheim I have to go into the middle of the road. Which gets a bit dodgy when a dirt bike is hitting 45 down 6th at midnight. When asked if he would consider moving one of the cars to be able to see down the road he said I should get my eyes checked so that didn’t go too well. Just a rant and stay safe out there Cville!

Looked like a group of 7 college age kids crossing 29 on foot. Did not see the accident but saw someone was badly injured and two cars pulled over trying to stop bleeding. Hoping the news will cover later with updates on if the person is okay.
