What to do once you get here:

You cannot visit Charlottesville and not go to Bodo’s Bagels. It is on University Avenue. Go there. Also you should visit in the fall or spring when the colors are amazing.

From the web:

Charlottesville,VA is set attractively in agricultural land against mountains, in this case the Blue Ridge. It is home to the dignified University of Virginia, which was founded and designed by Thomas Jefferson in the 18th century as an architectural model for a university. The city possesses a special mix of college-town and historic amenities. The commercial downtown area is separated from the campus and a small commercial area by a railroad grade; that small commercial area and the campus could star in any film about college life. Streets all through town, including the residential districts near campus, are shaded with abundant magnolias and other shade trees. Most of the town is easily accessed by foot or bicycle.

Charlottesville has been attracting a lot of people. Areas of commercial development have popped up mostly north and west but so far the city has resisted most unattractive sprawl. What commercial strips do exist are attractively laid out and avoid most of the hectic and crowded feel found in most areas. Further north, excellent suburbs lie in well-planned communities, and the surrounding countryside is dotted with farms and some residential areas. The university brings an assortment of amenities and entertainment, and there are recreational opportunities in the nearby mountains and Shenandoah National Park.

Washington, D.C., about 2 hours away, adds to the area’s interest.
