The adoption subsidy is tax free. So, that’s almost $40K annually tax free and not included in calculations for things like the EIC.

I wouldn't assume she was in friendship court just because the bloodhounds were seen there. The bloodhounds were all over Charlottesville, and there is no way she was in all the places the dogs were seen.

In the past five years or so, there are more students downtown than previously. (I've lived here for 28 years, since middle school). But, the student center is definitely the corner. When students are downtown it is with a destination in mind, not just to wander and find a group like they would...

Albemarle police are a different force than CPD. ACPD has definitely had a number of scandals over the past 25 years. CPD has been cleaner. Charlottsville has had a couple of jury cases that came back in surprising ways--typically with the UVA student on trial getting off when the court of...

There were dogs all over the downtown mall for days. And all over the rest of charlottesville. There were some hits downtown, and then the trail went dead. Presumably when she got into his car.

I wonder if she was looking for the Flats at West Main, the brand new apartments between downtown and the corner on west main, but got turned around on 14th and ended up on preston instead of west main. I say that because of the issue of west main changing names at 14th, and because I saw the...

Depending on the racial and economic demographics of where you are from, Grady will appear more or less "shady". It is a historically Black neighborhood, but as a long-time Charlottesville resident, I always felt safer along Grady as a 20-something than I did along fraternity row.

Laura winans and Julie williams disappeared in 1996, not 2006.

Its not. I don't remember what the other businesses are in that building off the top of my head, but there are one or two additional businesses next to mcgradys in that building. I think both of them would have been closed since they are not bars/restaurants. (I know a battery speciality shop...

The bird issue was further complicated by the fact that this occurred during the height of the migration period for birds of prey: http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/flocking-to-afton-mountain-for-the-fall-migration-of-birds/article_ead31556-50db-11e4-b2ec-001a4bcf6878.html According to...

Morgan is from Roanoke. I think her father was at one time on the faculty at UVA but they moved to Roanoke when she was a toddler.

Actually, 14th and Main may not exist. 14th and WEST Main definitely exists. Main St is the downtown mall. West Main St. runs from the corner of ridge (which later becomes fifth street extended and then old Lynchburg road) to 14th st NW, where it becomes university avenue, and then later ivy...

I would be surprised if they are friends beyond the level of friendliness that occurs in a small town. However, I also wouldn't put much stock in the veracity of Coy's articles. I have known him for years, and have always found him to be far more focused on creating an interesting story to...

I would guess she knew the intersection as 14th and University, and not as 14th and main. However, there are some brand new student apartments on west main, and I could easily see her looking for those apartments, being told, "go to the corner of 14th and Main and turn left" and getting all...

I believe that west main changes it's name when it crosses 14th St. NW and becomes University Ave. so, there is a 14th and Main, which is where Boylan Heights restaurant is, but across the street at the railroad bridge, it is 14th and University.
