To me I think it's a unhappy medium of many things, the mall is nice but it's annoying to get there and you always pay for parking.

It's not on anything resembling a grid anywhere so all the roads criss cross. Confusing names drive on 3 streets named rugby that intersect.

Charlottesville has legitimately worse traffic than Richmond despite being 1/4 the size.

They do pull better than you would reckon just looking at metrics concert wise what they do.

Some neat historical stuff, UVA has some nice amenities though I don't like the snootiness of a lot of it.
