Good barbecue smells good and tastes even better. That was the litmus test I deployed on my trip to Vision BBQ, and they passed with flying colors. I dined at Vision BBQ for Charlottesville Restaurant Week, where I received an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert for just $25.

But fair warning — your food might take longer than you anticipate to arrive at your table.
The value of human connection is deeply ingrained in the University, from the history of student self-governance to the annual Lighting of the Lawn. During February, that value can sometimes get overshadowed by Valentine’s Day festivities, but celebrations of love and connection need not be strictly romantic.

These three novels, although their plots differ widely, offer a lens into the intricate complexities and beauty of everyday life, reminding us that we are never as alone as we may think we are.
