cVillain.com is about Charlottesville (C-Ville for short). We love this town and can’t get enough of its restaurants, cafes, music, shops, and, importantly, gossip. When we sat down to brainstorm ideas for cVillain, we decided we didn’t want to make this into just another website. We also quickly decided that we didn’t know everything about Charlottesville.
Our idea was pretty simple: Let’s make a site that people will enjoy because they are in control. We wanted to create a place where, instead of reading about local happenings, our community could define, discuss and create the local “scene.”
Ok, we know what you are thinking. What if someone says something bad!?
We have a fantastic team of people who ensure that bad stuff doesn’t get published on this site. We hate making rules, but personal attacks and unfounded claims aren’t allowed.
Besides that, this site is yours, not ours. We always want to make cVillain a better and more exciting place. Our special thanks go out to our readers, contributors, commenters and admins. We love you all.

RVANews is a collective of Richmond area blogs, news, and all things awesome. We’re here to make your Internet perusal as convenient and River-City-Centric as possible. Because, well, we love Richmond and we think you should too.
RVANews is made up of two pieces: original and aggregated content.
Original content is just that: content written by some well-paid freelance joker or one of our fabulous columnists. The aggregated content is provided by Richmond’s fantastic network of community blogs.
Scattered throughout Richmond’s neighborhoods are a dozen or so hyperlocal community blogs. These blogs (Church Hill People’s News for example) provide immediate and insightful coverage of events that matter to the neighborhood. If you aggregate these together you get a good picture of what is going on in Richmond.
