"shoot, it will always be that way, i can't ever see that place changing. "
Having gone to HS in Charlottesville (CHS), I can assure you the town has changed, and greatly, in the last twenty (plus) years. Heck, there used to be nothing but farmland after the Kmart on 29, and if I see one more McMansion west of town I might have to buy something combustible. And use it. But Basic cycles is kinda curious, if a bit odd, and the bike shops there are way better than Richmond's.

"And if you talk to old-timers it starts at Boulevard."
@#$%, it's creeping east when I'm not looking.
Northside, baby!
