We're not exactly sure where the restaurant name originated, but this past Sunday we decided to try Mono Loco for a dinner with Cuban flair.
"Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is a classic in its own right. Corporate scandal, Clown Hot Dog love, the old lady's death, brother Kenny's drugs.

Washington, D.C. It was the stuff urban legends are made of: A phantom bus from Chinatown, D.C.
Some students might think of their lectures as torture. But how many actually go to lectures on torture? This afternoon, the option hails from the University of Cambridge French Prof.
Rachel Kallem scoots to class. Literally. Forget the bus, or huffing it on foot. The first-year College student rolls out of bed and hits the road on her scooter when it's time to get to lecture. For Kallem, who rides to all of her classes, scooting cuts 10 minutes off her old walking route.
If you reach Academical Village People James Gammon and Mike Duguiso's voicemail, you'll hear an animated jingle, sort of a hybrid of "Doe, a Deer" and a Mentos commercial.

But I'm talking about the darkness imposed by our dear friend Isabel, who blew into Charlottesville a week ago and took our electricity with her. For some people, the blackout was temporary: My power came roaring back to life at 6:00 a.m.

Man, was that worth it!For under $20 -- excluding tax and tip -- Asian Buffet, an all-you-can-eat Chinese/Japanese restaurant, is a sure winner, especially in a college town. Located north on Route 29, directly behind the old Chang House lot (tear), Asian Buffet is the white building resembling the many barns in the Albemarle area.
