I'm moving to C'Ville this weekend and would like to know about bars, dance clubs and other activities for those of us in our forties and fifties.
Pick up a copy of C'ville or visit their website (http://www.c-ville.com/) which has listings of what's going on in town and also includes restaurant listings. What are your specific interests (type of music, food, etc.)?
Visit during the summer. Students are mostly away, no problem getting hotel rooms, dinner tables, and eerily unpopulated architectural photos Having this entire quadrangle to ourselves at 8:00 AM on a Sunday morning
The Saunders Monticello Trail at the base of Jefferson's little mountain is a gorgeous easy hike or even bike ride. We found it at http://www.charlottesvillewelcomebook.com/Sports_&_Outdoor_Adventures/ The wide gravel path is full of strollers but as you get higher, people start returning down but you can get all the way to top on trails and see much more with a unique perspective as opposed to parking with the multitudes at the visitor's center. You can do the trail just for the trail's sake, check out the exhibits at teh free visitor's center or even go all the way up to Jefferson's home at Monticello.
The dependancies assured the smooth running of Monticello and were found both under the house and the verandas. They included the kitchen, the wine cellar and many others including the sleeping quarters of those slaves that worked in them. I am classifying them as "off-the-beaten-track" as they are not included in the house tour and your have to seek them out on your own.

The picture is of the cook's room. Her whole family would have shared this small room with her.
This was a row of workshops and homes where the slaves made the equipment and supplies for the main house that were either too dangrous, too noisy or too smelly to have under or near the main house

Lee Park contains all of the land bounded by Jefferson Street, First Street N.E., Market Street and Second Street N.E. (map here).
Imposing, equastrian Robert Edward Lee Monument dominates the park standing at its highest point. The statue was unveiled in 1924. Robert Edward Lee (1807 – 1870) was a career U.S. Army officer and the most successful general of the Confederate forces during the American Civil War. Another famous Confederate soldier - Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson - has an equastrian monument in nearby Jackson Park since 1921.
