City Spotlight: Charlottesville
Charlottesville brings to mind three things: Thomas Jefferson, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and GOOD FOOD! Seriously though, the folks in Charlottesville are doing locally sourced RIGHT. C-Ville is smack-dab in the middle of an agricultural hotspot and the local produce served in restaurants, markets, and cafés is majorly yummy. Charlottesville is a college town, sure, but it has a vibrant social scene, and the local restaurant scene has exploded in the last few years, making it a must-visit spot for foodies all over the Commonwealth.
