Charlottesville used to be a blue collar town with quiet academia and rowdy students. In the past 20 years, its been invaded by hedge fund types, wealthy retirees from the NE, and crackpot university bureaucrats. Jefferson, honored for 200 years, is the next to go.
When do we get to the part where they devour each other like Japanese Ko fish?
