The chefs at Belle — the beloved brunch locale — show promise with their new French-American “Brasserie” dinner. I dined at Belle during Charlottesville Restaurant Week, where I ate an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert for $35. Though this deal has passed, it’s still worth a visit to Belle to taste their dynamic menu in their cozy, refurbished dining room.

There is a new mayor in town. If that statement sounded like a very important piece of news, don’t worry — it’s not. Here in Charlottesville, the mayor has no outsize influence on who gets hired and fired, which projects continue and how plans are implemented. The mayor is merely the member of the elected City Council who is chosen to lead it. Instead, the crucial responsibilities of city governance fall to the City Manager, a post that is both unelected and has been historically ineffective in meeting the needs of Charlottesville residents. In order to ensure that the chief Executive personifies accountable and productive leadership in Charlottesville, reform of our local political system is needed — we should replace our nonrepresentative City Manager with an elected and empowered mayor.

The Hurricanes (15-8, 6-6 ACC) came into the game shooting 38 percent on three-pointers as a team but made only two of their 20 attempts from beyond the arc for the night. Virginia, meanwhile, made five out of 11 attempts. The Cavaliers also generated 20 assists on 26 made field goals, while turning the ball over just three times compared to Miami’s 11 giveaways.

The first time I held one of Eileen Chang's writings — a Chinese novella called “Love in a Fallen City” — I was in eighth grade. At the time, I was a student in Beijing and had barely traveled outside of my country. The novella, which seemed full of historical descriptions, had disappointed me then. Until this winter break, I had not opened the book for years. After six years of living in the United States as an international student, however, I read Chang’s novella again and discovered a story about how it feels to live in between two worlds.
