Charlottesville is on the small list while Lynchburg is on the other list. Is it metros over 200k? Regardless this is great news. If Charlottesville needs anything its small businesses. Don't they typically provide higher paying jobs than the big box stores that are springing up along 29? How do they determine what constitutes a small metro versus a regular one?

It was a gap which (for me) started to become noticeable in the 80's, and it's still noticeable now- only the balance has shifted and there are more wealthy transplants then "everyone else". Many in the "everyone elses" (the ones I knew anyway) moved on to places with more opportunity. Re: Two Charlottesvilles,

There is a new wine festival called the "Monticello Wine & Food Festival". It's in Greene County, 40 minutes from Charlottesville and an hour from Jefferson's home. Maybe the city should start incorporating the urban area around it again and make Greene county part of the city as well as Albemarle. Charlottesville is growing fast and not just in the rankings.
