Former Cville Weekly ad rep go-getter Travis Wilburn is opening another DTM venue at First & Main, right across from Hamilton’s.

Okay, DTMers, its time to band together for a good cause.

There…
The Black Market Moto Saloon was shut down by city officials for hosting live music without a special use permit, and it looks like the old live music vs neighbors debate has been re-sparked once again, a la Bel Rio (without the embezzement and skipping town).

Now NBC29 tells us its part of one Stephen Balut’s living art installation/social statement. Somehow we’re supposed to be provoked into re-thinking the way we take up space by seeing a guy living in a window…
Indeed, there are more of them tucked away on the DTM than you’d think. But where are they? Who are they? Looks like Charlottesville Tomorrow didn’t exactly track them down, but they got some folks to comment on why the DTM is good for business: Michael J. Prichard, chief technology officer and founder of WillowTree…
“Upon arriving, we were offered a bottle of wine and homemade cookies, to make up for the fact that we’d arrived after their cocktail hour– very nice touch and delicious cookies!! Breakfast in the morning was also nice, nothing too elaborate, but some homemade breads, yogurt, fruit, etc…everything we needed. Private parking, and easy walking…
