In a November 4 joint appearance with fellow Democrats at the University of Virginia, embattled State Senator Edd Houck (VA-17), made an historical misattribution of significant proportion.

Photo essay: Charlottesville’s dirty downtown mall
Charlottesville’s downtown mall has an image problem. Long upheld by boastful city officials as a family friendly shopping, entertainment, and dining destination, reality speaks otherwise as those with young children increasingly are seeking alternate venues. The downtown mall has weathered its share of controversy—pedophiles congregating at the children’s museum, violent teen-mob assaults, and reportedly random [...]

Guest editorial: A proper response
A proper response by Hank Martin Providence occasioned me to be in Washington, D.C., the night of Osama Bin Laden’s demise.
