Going to the car wash

By Laura Good | October 29, 2002

Is the windshield of your new Honda splattered with bugs? Is the mud so caked on your sporty Jeep that you've forgotten its original color? If so, Charlottesville car washes are open and ready for business. In mid-September, the local government enacted severe water restrictions for community businesses, forcing many car washes to shut down temporarily. But within days of the ban, Express Car Wash in Seminole Square began experimenting with non-traditional washing methods.

Like many women living off Grounds at the University, Jessica Karr has a feminine bathroom.

I couldn't believe my ears. Those women are part of the reason I'm glued to my couch every Sunday, and more importantly, Monday nights. If you want proof that Rooney is dead wrong in his assessment, look no further than ABC sideline reporter and University alumna Melissa Stark. For those of you unfortunate enough to be unfamiliar with her, allow me to fill you in.
