Weather and Resteraunts

The other day, a restaurant owner informed me that there were 500 restaurants in Charlottesville? Really? How are they all supported? Do people just eat out constantly? This is insane.

The other thing is most of these places aren?t chains. They?re little individual restaurants scattered throughout the town. Where I?m from, there are approximately 3 restaurants that aren?t chains or at least local chains. And there is no way that there are 500 restaurants in a comparable area to Charlottesville in my home state.

This came up because we were talking about the drought conditions in Charlottesville and how restaurants were ordered not to run their dishwashers a couple of years ago. Meaning, you could go out to eat, pay $28?s for a meal, and get to eat it on a paper plate with a plastic fork. PICNIC!

Luckily, it decided to pour down rain that night, making for a lovely evening to sit outside and just listen to the rain fall (and hope to not get struck by lightning).
