August 23, 2023: Cville Places: Vinegar Hill

[For this year’s installment of my annual Charlottesville series—following the boys and my annual trip to my childhood home, natch—I’ll focus on a handful of representative places around town. Leading up to a tribute to the public schools that nurtured this AmericanStudier!]

I said most everything I wanted to say about the compelling histories, tragic and horrific destruction, and enduring legacies of Charlottesville’s Vinegar Hill neighborhood in this Saturday Evening Post Considering History column. But it’s far too significant and representative of a Cville place not to include in this week’s series, so please check out that column if you would!

Next Cville place tomorrow,

Ben

PS. What do you think? Defining places—from your hometowns or anywhere else—you’d highlight?
