This battle has been so interesting to watch. My wife is from Charlottesville and we spend a good bit of time over there, so we pay a lot of attention to the local goings on like this. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this issue. Charlottesville is a city rich with history. Monticello and Ashlawn, Montpelier just up the road, UVA, the Three Notch'd Road runs through the heart of downtown, it's dripping with this stuff. This has been a very contentious issue for them. As liberal as the city is, filled with academics as well, they really like to look past the complicated relationship the city, the state, and the south has with slavery.
