"Arrogance thy name is Charlottesville"


Arrogance thy name is Charlottesville - 9/25/2008

Charlottesville, VA

The people here have a rare arrogance, so much so, that even transplanted New Yorkers are taken aback. There is an undercurrent of hostility in this town that can be found in every business. The people working in the service industry seem very unhappy and hostile. Considering the cost of living here, that is no surprise.
