Good morning, afternoon, guys.
I'm Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on the I Love Seaville show.
It's great to connect with you guys through the I Love Seaville network, live in our studio
in our building, the Macklin Building in downtown Charlottesville.
And goodness gracious, do we have a great show lined up for you we have a new business that is replacing Mooses by the Creek has replaced Mooses
by the Creek and this new business is the 180 degree antithesis of Mooses by
the Creek dirty aces ladies and, has now debuted in the city of Charlottesville.
And goodness gracious, I want to show you the signage that is on their storefront.
It's a bar and grill.
Do we have that signage, Judah?
Can we whet their appetite, give them a tease?
Are those bikini-clad women on the signage of Dirty Aces?
They certainly are. Is it on screen now? Yep. Look at the screen, viewers and listeners. Are those bikini-clad women on the signage of Dirty Asus?
They certainly are.
Is it on screen now?
Yep.
Look at the screen viewers and listeners.
Look at screen viewers and listeners.
Bikini-clad women on the signage of the new business
that has replaced Mooses by the Creek Dirty Asus.
We're gonna talk about that today.
I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to ask you this question.
What is the most risque business in Charlottesville and Almaro County?
What's another name for risque?
Is that the best description of what I'm kind of looking for as a talking point?
Balzy, risque, right?
Yeah, I don't know that there's a better word for it than risque.
Okay. Judah Wichera, holding me. Risque business in Charlottesville and Almaro County. Right. Yeah, I don't know that there's a better word for it than risk a okay, Judah
Wichera holding me risque business in Charlottesville now more accounting. What is the most risque business? Is it now dirty aces?
Bikini cloud women on the signage. We will
Take a look at dirty aces bar and grill. It's an LLC of the Virginia domestic limited liability
Company variety it was filed according to documents
on the 30th of April, 2025.
So frankly, just a couple of months ago.
The registered agent for this company is Jeanette Loving-Sill
who is based out of Cumberland, Maryland,
Cumberland, Virginia, excuse me, Cumberland, Virginia.
And the company's principal address is 1710 Monticello Road.
There's some chitter chatter and scuttlebutt on Reddit that Dirty Aces is a sister company
to Aces Towing.
I cannot confirm nor deny, but the Charlottesville subreddit is claiming some folks on the subreddit that Dirty Aces,
this bikini-clad signage business, is a sister company to Aces Towing.
We're going to have that conversation on today's show.
A lot we're going to cover on the program, including something from the desk of Conan
Owen, the owner of Sir Speedy Central Virginia.
Let's give Sir Speedy some love.
If you have a logo, Sir Speedy of Central Virginia
can do something with it.
Anything you need with a logo application-wise,
Sir Speedy can execute.
That could include direct mail.
That could include the step and repeat banner
that's directly behind me.
T-shirts, signage, decals, window decals.
Sir Speedy, you have a logo.
They can help you scale it and apply it to some kind of
branding mechanism.
And Conan Owen is as in touch as anyone I know in the
business community.
He sends me this little juicy tidbit.
The University of Virginia is hosting a student-athlete job fair.
And at this job fair, potential employers in Charlottesville, in Almar county, and across
central Virginia can go to this job fair and meet student athletes, Judah, and hire them from an internship standpoint,
a part-time standpoint, for a compensated job.
This job fair has a gatekeepers tax.
And that gatekeepers tax is $500.
So UVA is saying, we're going to gatekeep our student athletes.
And if you, the business owner in Charlottesville,
Elmore County, or central Virginia,
wants an opportunity to hire, to offer a job, an internship
to one of our student athletes, you
will pay us, the University of Virginia, us, our $14 billion endowment,
a $500 gatekeepers tax.
I find that lacking in significant taste.
No doubt.
I will ask Judah that question,
and you, the viewer and listener,
is a $500 gatekeepers tax, bouncers
tax for the opportunity to meet and greet student athletes.
Kosher are lacking in poor form.
A lot we're going to cover on the program.
I'm going to ask you about the University Board of Visitors and why have they not met
since Jim Ryan has resigned?
Someone help me understand this.
Jim Ryan has resigned.
The provost position, number two in charge, is currently empty, Judah.
The CEO of UVA Health resigned a couple of months ago.
The dean of the medical school has taken another job in Texas.
The head of the hospital has taken another job in San
Francisco.
Five of the most important positions at the University of
Virginia, the president, the provost, three of the top
positions, if not the top position at UVA health, the
number one revenue generator for the University of Virginia the top position at UVA Health, the number one revenue generator
for the University of Virginia in totality is UVA Health.
And their three top positions are currently vacant.
Yet the Glenn Youngkin appointed UVA Board of Visitors
has yet to have an in-person meeting.
Make it make sense. Glenn Youngkin is on his way out of office. Spamburger is about to win
the governor's mansion and it's going to be up by a landslide. Mark it down folks. The Democrats are
going to win in convincing fashion in November whether you want to hear that or not. I'm just
reading the political tea leaves correctly. And yet, Yonkans Board of
Visitors have yet to have an emergency meeting. We'll talk about that on today's show. We'll
have a conversation about the Alamo County GIS up and running again. Thank God I was
missing the GIS. And I cannot wait to have this conversation. What is the most risky
business in central Virginia now that dirty aces is open. A bikini clad sign on
the front of the building, the replacement to Mooses by the Creek, the
family diner where children, their parents, their grandparents took selfies
and photos with antler ears above their head. Now you go to Dirty Aces and you can take selfies and photos with bikini clad women.
What a day to be alive in Charlesburg, Virginia.
Judah Wickauer, Two Shot.
Studio camera in Two Shot.
I ask you, my friend, 15 years,
a key team member of our family here
at the Miller Organization. Which headline,
Judah Wickhauer, most intrigues you today and why, my friend?
Well, I think I got to go with Dirty Aces. I mean, it's just so provocative.
It's so crazy.
This is Charlottesville.
It's So crazy. There are all the places to open a place called Dirty Aces Bar and Grill.
Dirty Aces.
I have always thought, and you guys by watching the program probably know I don't mind living
my life in a little PG-13 fashion in that gray area between PG-13 and Rated R. I will say I'm much more PG-13 as a
married man and father of two now than Rated R, which I was very much before I met my fantastic
wife. We've been together 10 years now. I've said for many of the 25 years that I've lived in
Charlottesville and Amarillo County, came here as a student at the University of Virginia my first year in 2000. I've said
for many of those 25 years that a gentleman's club, a strip club, would absolutely crush
it in central Virginia. And I said the location for the strip club that would work best, it's
not going to happen in the city of Charlottesville. I don't think the city would allow it. I don't
think Almaro County would allow it. But Louisa County, Spring Creek, Zion's crossroads area, where you have the
Lowe's, the Wal-Mart, that area, just 15 minutes from the epicenter of student life, the epicenter
of night life, Charlottesville, that's the spot where a strip club, gentleman's club,
could work. There's parking, there's building space, and it's off of Interstate 64 and close
to everything. I've thought whoever launched that concept business-wise in central Virginia would mint
money, be a multi-multi-millionaire.
It's never materialized so far.
The closest we've gotten, I believe, outside of the rumor mill, was at the Juicy Crab,
that seafood place on Route 29, the juicy red crab that's since closed. There
was rumor mill that after hours the juicy red crab was turning into some kind of gentleman's
club naked bodies night life situation after hours but it marketed itself as a seafood
joint and has since closed, by the way. There was rumor mill back in the day and I when I got here in 2000 tracks the nightclub
Dave Matthews played at tracks agents of good roots
I saw that a lot of big-time acts when I got in here in 2000. I went to tracks two or three times
Tracks has since been torn down. It was a nightclub off of West Main Street. You went a few times
It was just a dingy hole-in-the-wall nightclub. You're packed in there like sardines,
fantastic acoustics, awesome ticket prices. You can get in for like five bucks and see
phenomenal musicians. Tracks, the rumor mill back in the day, after hours, it was rumored
to be a place where men could pay to see a sordid, sordid, sordid?
Sordid.
Sordid?
A sordid affair.
We now have a business openly with signage,
put it back on screen, marketing and branding
bikini clad women, and I have no problem with that.
I am of the mindset that anyone who opens a business
in Charlottesville and Elmora County, if they do it the right way, I will support them and give them
the benefit of the doubt. I am not like Reddit that is immediately trying to
tear down new ideas. I hope the 19-year-old that's doing the gym
on the downtown mall uplift, I hope he crushes it because it's gonna be good
for the downtown mall. I hope uplift and that 19-year-old crushes it. I hope Dirty Aces crushes it. I hope all the businesses
that launch crush it. I don't care what your politics are. I don't care how you vote. I
don't care what your religion are. I don't care who you choose to marry, who you choose
to not marry, who you choose to sleep with. If you're doing it above board, I'm going
to support you with your entrepreneurial endeavor. That's my mindset.
I am going to have the conversation, however, on the program with my friend, Judah Wickhauer.
Dirty Aces, is this now officially the most risque business in central Virginia?
I think so. Find me one viewer and viewers and listeners that's more risque
than this. We'll talk about that today. We're going to talk University of Virginia here
in a matter of moments. I want to give love to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. 61 years
in business. I'm going to see John Vermillion tomorrow morning at 8.30 a.m. I love the Vermillion
family, John and Andrew. 61 years they've proudly served Charlottesville, Almaro County, and Central Virginia.
Their location on High Street online
at Charlottesville sanitary supply dot com.
They, Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, their pool cleaning,
their pool cleaning materials
and goods are keeping our family swimming pool crystal clear blue.
Sanitary supply needs, pool cleaning needs,
water cleaning needs, water cleaning needs.
If you need mechanical work with your vacuum, your robot for your pool that
cleans the bottom of the pool fixed or repaired, they have a mechanic in sight.
Charlottesville Sanitary Supply, guys. 61 years of doing business. Support the
businesses that you want to see make it another 61 years. I think the topic we
should all have on the tip of
our tongue, Judah, as we two shot and conversate here, my friend, is explain to me why the
University of Virginia Board of Visitors has yet to call an in-person emergency meeting
since Jim Ryan's resignation, Judah Wickauer. This is a BOV that is being ambushed left
and right, attacked in the media, attacked by students, attacked
by faculty, attacked by the Cavalier Daily, the student newspaper, put under the microscope
by yours truly, by you? What is going on with the BOV? Where do you want to begin?
I'm not even sure where to begin. You're right. Why haven't they announced a meeting to discuss any one, if not all, of the hires they need to make?
They've had a vote of no confidence from the UVA Senate.
There's a resolution out from the student from the Student Council saying
that they want a they want to put five people on whatever committee is gonna is
gonna look for a new president and they want to be kept in the loop on what's
going on obviously they can't command the UVA student council, can't command the board of
visitors, but it is pretty wild that everyone is active except the board of visitors.
It's insane what's happening here. You don't have a president.
You don't have a school president.
They've got ‑‑ I think they have someone acting as president.
Acting. J.J. Wagner Davis. You don't have a provost. You don't have a president, number
one. You don't have a provost, number two. With your revenue generating, your profit center is UVA Health.
Without the UVA Health system, there would be no University of Virginia, ladies and gentlemen.
You don't have a CEO, Craig Kent.
You don't have a dean of your medical school, Dr. Kibbe.
She took a job in Houston, Texas.
You don't have a head of your hospital. Is it Wendy Horton? Dr. Kibbe, she took a job in Houston, Texas. You don't have a head of your hospital.
Is it Wendy Horton?
Dr. Horton?
She took a job in San Francisco.
You can make a legitimate argument.
Five of your most important seven or eight positions at the University of Virginia are
currently vacant. state. Five of your most important seven or eight positions in all of UVA currently do
not have an employee permanently manning the helm. And the Board of Visitors at the University
of Virginia has yet to have an in-person meeting. That boggles my mind. Why it especially boggles my mind is because
this Board of Visitors has what 10 days in July then August, September, October,
November, and December. August, September, October, November and December, five months and ten days before the writing
on the wall suggests a clean sweep of Democrats in this November election and every board
member that's actively serving UVA on the BOV potentially in a crossfire of scrutiny
by a new democratic regime in the Commonwealth.
No doubt.
If Yonkin was mining his P's and Q's, and if Yonkin was on his A game,
and the final five months in change of his term as governor, he would be instructing the BOV to make a hire immediately on some
of these five key positions, if not all of them. Because as soon as Yonkin is out and
Spanberger is in, this BOV may look completely different. If Yonkin can fire his own appointee, Burt Ellis, for malfeasance, malpractice, Spamburger
most certainly can do similar changes.
Especially with the precedence of no confidence vote from the ‑‑
The faculty, the Senate, from students and the Cavalier Daily.
Never have you seen the Board of Visitors more vulnerable than it is right now.
One of the most esteemed and prestigious boards
in the Commonwealth.
Never have I seen it more vulnerable than it is right now.
What is going on?
What is going on here?
No idea.
Does Yonkin know? Does the board know? And you know what? If you're
power players behind the scenes at UVA and you are pro Jim Ryan, you want this
to drag out as long as possible. Yeah. Because you saw what Yonkin has done to UVA. Unbelievable.
Next headline, what do you got, Jude?
Let's see.
Do we want to ask the question before we move on,
how many of the five vacancies will the BOV fill?
Do we think they'll fill any?
I'll ask you, you give me your answer.
John Blair, Neil Williamson, Deep Throat, print radio on television that's watching the show,
George Gilmer, anyone that's watching the show.
How many of the five vacancies will the Board of Visitors fill in 2025?
Before the end of this year? Do you think the President's position is filled?
I'm not, I mean, they might have a tough time.
I know you think that this, that any of these spots are, would be highly coveted and,
and people would jump at the chance even if just to use
it as a stepping off point for another position somewhere else.
But at this point with everything that's gone on with UVA, with the
president on down to UVA Health,
it may be a tough sell to get people
into these positions, I think.
Do you hire a provost number two in charge
before you hire a president?
Probably not.
You probably hire the president and help the president
and allow the president to pick his number two
or her number two, right?
Do you hire a dean of a medical school
or the head of the hospital
before you hire the CEO of UVA Health,
the system in totality?
Probably not.
The CEO of UVA Health, Craig Kent,
brought his own C-suite with him.
And that's in large part why we've had attrition
with Kibbe and Horton.
Will they hire a CEO of UVA Health
and a president of the school before 2025 expires?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Time will tell.
Next headline, is it dirty aces?
Yes.
Put it on screen, Neil Williamson just shared
the Facebook post, the Facebook page for Dirty Aces.
Dirty Aces is officially on Facebook, ladies and gentlemen.
Soon to be the hottest spot in Seaville.
You know what?
I'm going to like one of their posts.
Oh, it's, goodness gracious, whoever launched the Dirty Aces Facebook page, you did it as
a human page instead of as a business page where you have to like.
I would consider resetting this up, Dirty Aces ownership team, and do this as a business
page where people can like and follow you instead of a friend page that has a capacity of 5,000 friends you can accept.
Just a piece of branding suggestion.
Dirty Aces, I'm being told, ownership is watching the program.
There's 14 people that have liked Dirty Aces on Facebook.
There's 14 of them. And goodness gracious, the sexual
innuendo is pretty heavy here on this Facebook page and its branding. What do you make of
Dirty Aces, the replacement for Mooses by the Creek, Judah Wickhauer? Is this someone's vanity project? I don't know.
It's soon to be done.
Does BAR have to approve signage,
the Board of Architectural Review?
Does BAR approve signage here?
Is this Hogwaller?
Is this what you guys would call Hogwaller, viewers
and listeners?
Is this Hogwaller?
Did this signage get approved?
I'm not trying to throw shade.
I wish them nothing but success and luck.
It's a good question.
I kind of find it hard to believe that that would get passed.
Put the photo on screen for the signage.
Jason Noble says, I would take dirty aces
over the drag shows we've seen around town.
There's been drag brunches. I have no shade, no problem with drag shows we've seen around town. There's been drag brunches.
I have no shade, no problem with drag shows.
I don't either.
South and Central used to do a drag brunch.
There were drag brunches all over town.
I have no problem with drag shows.
But he's saying drag shows are in that risque category.
Georgia Gilmer confirms it's Hogwiler,
her photo on screen, Jason Gilmer's photo on screen,
or Jason Noble's photo on screen.
What is the most risque business
in Charlottesville and Central Virginia, viewers and listeners?
John Blair's photo on screen.
I started the program by saying this.
I've been here 25 years.
And for most of those 25 years, I
have said, whatever business owner,
whatever entrepreneur launches a gentleman's club,
a strip club somewhere in central Virginia
is going to stack paper and mint money.
And where you should put that gentleman's club
is Spring Creek, guys, the Zion's Crossroads exit.
That Walmart, Lowe's, Office Park area
is perfect for a gentleman's club.
And I guarantee you, Louisa would be receptive to this
because they're pro business.
Charlottesville and Alamaro County would not.
That's where you would put it.
John Blair says this, his photo on screen, I can tell you this, Jerry, with 100% certainty,
excuse me for dropping my phone there.
With 100% certainty, John Blair says, in 2003 and 2004, there was a local restaurateur who
actually was raising capital for a gentleman's club in Charlottesville.
There were unofficial channels from the city that it would never happen in Charlottesville.
Also, did you know that before it got redeveloped, there was a house of ill repute on Alleywood?
I did not know that.
Wow.
John Blair, clarification.
Unofficial communication channels in City Hall
that suggested the Gentleman's Club
would never be allowed to happen in Charlottesville City.
I'm not surprised.
I don't think it would happen in Charlottesville City.
I don't think it would happen in Elmoral County.
Louisa County is where a gentleman's club would happen.
And it's close enough to students and its proximity to Interstate 64 that it would crush
it, ladies and gentlemen.
There are multiple ones in Richmond.
Multiple ones.
The velvet rope, the paper moon, I've been to both.
There's multiple ones in Richmond.
And they mint money, ladies and gentlemen.
I got comments coming in left and right.
This is from someone who's asking for anonymity.
Dirty Aces, someone who's asking for anonymity, is run by Jamie Morris, who also runs Aces
Towing.
The Charlottesville subreddit, put the photo back on screen, is also making the ties with
Dirty Aces and aces towing.
It's a curious co-branding strategy
to co-brand a hospitality-based business,
which is what, food and beverages,
with arguably the least hospitality-based business
towing your car.
And generally despised.
No, I don't wanna throw Shane.
Okay.
The reputation of all towing companies is generally one of unfriendliness.
But to the towing companies...
One could almost call it ill repute.
To the towing companies point, their job is to tow vehicles that are illegally parked. And oftentimes they're doing that on behalf of business owners or real estate owners
to help protect the value of their investment or to help protect the value of the businesses
that are leasing from them that need the parking space.
I agree with you that not all towing companies are of the same integrity and honor. There's many shades
of gray in towing. I do find it curious. I think it's fair to say this and I'm not speaking
at a turn. Co-branding a bar and grill with your towing company is a curious strategy
to me.
Very curious.
Do you say this is the most risque business in Charlottesville and Amarillo County? I have one other
suggestion besides Ultimate Bliss, the porn shop by Best Buy.
What do you think is the most risque business? Viewers and
listeners, what is the most risque business in Charlottesville
and Amarillo County? Judah, your thought. I say potentially,
especially if they somehow manage to get that formed into
the shape of a big sign standing out in front of the bar and grill.
Instead of just a banner that they have, I don't know, nailed or roped to the brick.
brick. Other than that, there's nothing else I can really think of, but I'm eager to hear what you have to say.
There was a place on Harris Street, James Watson, can you help me with this? I believe
James Watson is watching the program. There's a place on Harris Street that offered after hours enjoyment to the tune of those slot machines that were kind
of called skill games. You could also drink and smoke. I've been told actually you could
even smoke marijuana in it. I forget what it's called. It's like literally on Harris
Street it was an after hours club. There was a couple of shootings there. There was some violence there.
Anyone remember the name of this? The signage I think is still up.
How recent was this? This was very recent. This was something
that had significant traction during COVID and the pandemic. And then it ran into some
trouble with some crime outside the ‑‑ this establishment. It had slot machines. I think smoke is in the name in some capacity.
And if you were a listener, can you help me with that name? Put it in the comments section. That
would mean the absolute world to me if you guys remember the name of what it was called.
That one was one that was very much in the grayish area of business operation and has since closed. Ultimate Bliss
has been around forever. I think Ultimate Bliss has been around for more than 20 years,
guys. I think we're approaching the 25‑year anniversary of Ultimate Bliss. That's the
porn shop next to ‑‑ that's the one.
What's it called?
Wicked hits smoking games.
Wicked hits smoking games.
It has since closed.
That's the one.
You found it?
Well done, Judah.
Found it on the CIVOpedia.
Wicked hits smoking games on Harris street, right?
It looks like it was connected with legacy fuel.
That's 100% right. Wicked Hits, Smoke and Games, its entire business model was the foundation
and the base of the business model was the skill games, which were basically the slot
machines. Yeah. And when those skill games, those slot machines were made illegal, it
did not have a business anymore. And those slot machines were operating in an after hours capacity.
And there was very loose rules or loose regulations or loose oversight or policing with some of
the other activities that were happening at this particular establishment. That one right
there I would say perhaps the most risque of any of the businesses that have operated
in central Virginia. Can anyone else give me another one? Neil Williamson offers this.
Neil, I'm going to ask you a question. We're going to learn from you, Neil Williamson,
the president of the free enterprise forum. He says per the Supreme Court, signage cannot
be regulated for content. That's a Gilbert decision. He said per the Supreme Court, Gilbert
decision, signage cannot be regulated for content. I trust you with that, Neil. I'm going to ask you this question, Neil Williamson. The content cannot be regulated, but the size and the color of the sign can,
right?
That's crazy.
Isn't that why there's not an olive garden or a crackle barrel rumored in Alamaro County? And another question I have for you, Neil ‑‑
Will their signs really be that egregious? Almaro County, I've heard scuttlebutt, these
Fortune 50 and Fortune 100 companies has such strict signage regulation that some of these
businesses are choosing not to come. John Blair can help us with this to Almaro County to
operate. It was long rumored home Depot. So something must have been figured
out with that. Another question I have for John and Neil is the downtown district, and
I believe I know this answer, the downtown district, it's different, right? So the signage
regulations in downtown Charlottesville are more stringent or significant? Is that because it falls under BAR purview?
I'd like to learn from you guys on that. Why are the signage regulations in downtown ‑‑
because it's a historic district, is that why? Because it's pretty strict down here.
No doubt. Ginny who? My friend used to live in the apartments behind Mooses,
and he always called it Hogwaller Heights.
Thank you, Ginny.
She also says, Ginny Hu, the perception
of the prestige of the UVA degree is already declining.
Charging businesses to meet your students
isn't going to help with that.
We'll get to that topic in a matter of moments as there are now a gatekeeper tax that UVA
is imposing on small business owners.
Conan Owen put this on our radar for an opportunity for an employer to go to a job fair with student
athletes.
I think that is extremely distasteful.
That's wild.
That is absolutely wild.
I mean, it diminishes the upside for the athlete.
Yeah. And the athlete. The athlete has
NIL earning potential and is on a scholarship here. I would say it hurts the athletes more
than anyone else. And to nickel and dime small business owners that are just trying to survive?
Vanessa Parkhill says, Judah, now, now, now, towing companies also help us when our car breaks down. They certainly do. I'm not saying they don't. But there have been several anecdotes about the local towing companies and people getting unfairly toed, even from their own property.
I've heard it. I've heard it.
Vanessa, excuse me, Olivia Branch, her photo on screen.
She says, I was a late night girl, and I never heard of some of that stuff at Max's or Trax's.
Olivia, I, you know, as someone who was a late night guy,
lived the late night life in Charlottesville for yours truly, I would
say I don't know, until I met my wife. So 15, 16 years of 4 a.m.s, 4.30 a.m.s, five
or six nights a week, easily I'd say, five nights a week. No first‑hand, those late nights at tracks. And if you recall,
viewers and listeners, and you can find this online with a Google search, there were two
police officers, city police officers, this was about 20 years ago, roughly, give or take, that got popped on duty. They were on duty in uniform at Traxxas
after hours late night drinking and fraternizing with no clothed or scannily clothed creatures
of the night, sirens of the night, while on
shift in uniform. And the media found out about it. They got in
trouble with the law. I was working for the Daily Progress
at the time. And that was front page fodder for us at the Daily
Progress. That's when Reid Williams was the police reporter
over there. Jenny Rector was the city editor. Josh Barney was on
the copy desk. Lou Hatter, who is a spokesman for VDOT now,
was the managing editor at the time, Lawrence McConnell, the publisher. The publisher at
the Daily Progress when I worked there, Lawrence McConnell, drove a Porsche 911 to and from
work. You talk about being out of touch with the $10 an hour employees of the Daily Progress, yours truly, first job out of college,
$10 an hour, the publisher shows up when we're scraping by,
like literally living on ramen as staff writers, and he pulls
up in a fully loaded Porsche 911, like a $150,000 Porsche.
But if you go into the archive, the media
archive, remember this distinctly, two police officers
on shift, on the clock, in uniform, at tracks, after hours,
drinking and fraternizing with sirens of the night, scannily
clothed sirens of the night. Viewers and listeners, let us
know your thoughts. We'll relay them live on air. John Blair, thank you, John. I learned
from John. His photo back on screen. He's earned this. You are correct about the downtown
signage regulation and bar, Jerry. As to Crackle Barrel, what I have heard is this, though
it is years ago, if they locate near an interstate exit, they have to have a certain height on
the sign per corporate. I think that is why there's been an issue with Albemarle and Crackle Barrel.
I've heard the same thing. I heard that Crackle Barrel wanted the exit 120, the 5th Street
exit because of its proximity to the interstate. And Crackle Barrel corporate insists that
the sign is seen from I-64, from all interstates.
That's why crackle barrel, you see the really tall signs that you can see while driving
on major thoroughways, interstates, and Amar County would not allow it.
There was rumor mill about an olive garden and a home depot as well.
Neil Williamson, oh, Neil Williamson is making the show better.
I love Neil Williamson, president of the free enterprise forum.
For what it's worth, Ultimate Bliss was founded in 2003,
according to the internet.
By the way, Lou Hatter has retired from VDOT.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that about Ultimate Bliss, founded in 2003.
Goodness gracious, Ultimate Bliss is 22 years old.
Congratulations, porn shop of Charlottesville, 22 years old.
You're old enough to drink.
Good job, porn shop of Charlottesville, 22 years old. You're old enough to drink. Good job, porn shop of Charlottesville.
And 22 years old, for you to make it 22 years of the porn
business, you have innovated.
Because 22 years ago, it was DVDs that were driving a lot
of their sales.
I'm sure.
Now, that's not the case.
No.
You're not watching your skin flicks on DVDs. So they've innovated. So 22 years
for ultimate bliss, ladies and gentlemen. Neil Williamson to John Blair, Cracklebarrow
was told their trademark front porch would not be approved by Alamaro County. So John,
that's some intel from Neil Williamson. Their trademark front porch would not be approved
by Alamaro County.
Not even the signage that stopped them, but the porch?
I think it's also the signage, though.
I heard the same thing with John.
That was something that was around the newsroom, scuttlebutt around the newsroom when I was
working for the Daily Progress.
And he says, Lou Hatter, my boss at the Daily Progress at one time, the managing editor
before McGregor McCants, McGregor McCants was hired to replace Lou Hatter. McGregor McCants, who is now in communications department for UVA, oftentimes
when you see releases from UVA, it's McGregor McCants that's doing the writing or is quoted
in there. He was hired to replace Lou Hatter. This is when the paper was sold, right about the time Media General was selling the paper
to Warren Buffett's outfit.
And MacGregor McCants was the business editor of the Roanoke Times.
And he took a job from business editor of the Roanoke Times to managing editor of the
Daily Progress to replace Lou Hatter, who went and took a job with the Virginia Department
of Transportation as a spokesman.
Lou Hatter was the quintessential OG managing editor.
Button down shirt, sleeves rolled up around his elbow,
tie it half-masked, he had a mustache,
like a bushy mustache, like a cowboy.
Always had a pencil in his ear like this, Lou Hatter.
Always was pounding coffee and was burning
the midnight oil, editing
headlines, planning stories, planning content budgets.
Fantastic bosses, Lou Hatter and McGregor McCants.
And Neil Williamson, a couple of other points, he says, yes, size, the number of colors can
be regulated.
Please see the free enterprise forums.
I have the beholder report in regards to Al Morrow's ARB restrictions and he shares a link on my Facebook page.

Roger Voizena, hello.
Philip Dowell, hello.
I want Dirty Aces to do well. Yeah.
I want it to do well.
I hope it does well.
It's the antithesis outside of food and beverage of Mooses by the Creek.
Mooses by the Creek, you would call it a greasy spoon for all.
Family friendly greasy spoon.
Yeah.
Isn't that how you would describe it?
Yeah.
Family friendly greasy spoon. Yeah, isn't that how you describe it? Yeah family friendly greasy spoon. Yeah, I
Don't know if my wife is gonna allow me to bring my seven-year-old and our two and a half year old to dirty aces
May have to check it out beforehand, but I do want them to do well. I mean it's bar and grill
But as this Charlottesville's version of Hooters
Could be I'd have to go and check it out.
A very curious tagline, Hooters, our wings are good,
but our breasts are the best.
A direct description of their fried chicken
that they serve with some innuendo, as you know.
Dirty Aces, we featured you on the show.
We see you watching the program.
Next headline, what do you got you to work on?
Logan Balls Clay though. Hello.
Let's see. We've got
new Admiral GIS now live.
Thank goodness gracious. The Admiral GIS is back up and
running.
With a with a
a new look a facelift. And you know the new look. A facelift.
And you know the best aspect of the facelift GIS?
I do know.
And Logan Wells-Colelo and Rob Neal
put this on my radar late last week.
This just went live, the Almarg GIS guys,
within the last four or five days.
My favorite aspect of the newly revamped GIS is it's a mobile responsive.
The old GIS you could not use on mobile very well.
It was extremely clunky on mobile.
I also heard it's zoomable.
The map is zoomable.
Yep.
And there's a wealth of more of new information that wasn't available before.
That's right.
The Albemarle GIS is up after a ransomware attack
crippled Albemarle County and exposed potentially
the private information, the data, the addresses,
the social security numbers, the birthdays
of 112,000 of Albemarle County's 115,000 citizens.
Specifically and most concerning,
its teachers and its county officials, county employees.
Yeah.
Terrible situation.
Next headline, what do you got, Judo?
We've gone over this a little bit.
UVA charging employers $500 for athlete job fair.
Holly Foster, hello, welcome to the broadcast.
She says she watches and listens to YouTube.
Better reception.
I'm quite confident that YouTube has the best setup for
the show.
It is a video platform.
All the social media platforms we're streaming on
accommodate video, but they're not video first.
They're social media first.

Holly Foster says the Myrtle Beach of the North Charlottesville
now has a gentleman's club.
What'd she say? The Myrtle Beach of the North. Oh, she said Charlottesville now has a gentleman's club. What'd she say?
The Myrtle Beach of the North.
Oh, she said Charlottesville.
The Myrtle Beach of the North Charlottesville
now has a gentleman's club, and she gives the icky face.
I don't know if it really is, but.
I don't think this is a gentleman's club.
I think this is a potential version of Hooters,
is what my guess would would be is what it is
Interesting somebody's gonna have to go check it out. I think it's a can we task you with checking it out?
Guess I could let me one of the hours. Well, it's a bar and grill. Yeah
Can we task you with checking it out?
Well, I can check it out if I said to my wife, sweetheart, I need to do some reconnaissance
for the show. I need to go to Dirty Aces. She's going to be like, oh, you do, huh? Is
that right, honey? That's what she said. Dirty Aces Bar and Grill opening soon is what it
says on Facebook. Convert the Facebook page from a friend or human page,
dirty aces, to a business page, please.
Yeah.
Please.
$500, put the lower third on screen.
All right, look, the University of Virginia,
its brand is, how do you characterize it?
UVA's brand?
Beleaguered?
Beleaguered, that's great.
Beleaguered.
So everything it does as its brand is beleaguered, triple murder, report failure to report the report
or release the report of the triple murder.
Yeah.
UVA Health System alleged white collar racketeering,
most concerning fraudulent billing, allegedly,
medical chart changing, allegedly,
to maintain performance rankings.
Yeah.
Pepper spraying, pro-Palestine protest, militarizing the police, pepper spraying students,
bullying, racism, DEI bloat on the payroll.
There was the interrogation techniques used on a fraternity member about hazing with a
on a fraternity member about hazing yeah with a dean
Treating a student as if he was a common criminal
Ryan's resignation Craig Kent's resignation kibbe quitting Horton quitting
Rampant cheating at the Darden school so significant that an investigation found it and said good god. We can can't touch this now. Let's just let the cheating continue.
Let's start having all the tests written.
Football coach, the last three years, the worst overall record
of any of the power football teams in all of America.
Tony Bennett resigns.
Brian O'Connor leaves for a new job. The men's
lacrosse team finishes with a sub-500 record. Scott Stadium at best 50%
capacity. It's beleaguered. It's a great word, beleaguered. So everything the
University of Virginia does should be strategic as it applies to its brand. And what I find
so far from strategic and forward-thinking is charging small
business owners in Charlottesville, small business owners in Albemarle, and small
business owners in Central Virginia a gatekeeper tax to mingle with student
athletes over potential internship positions and part-time positions.
And UVA is hosting a job fair for student athletes. And according to Conan Owen, the
CEO and owner of Sir Speedy of Central Virginia, if he were to attend this job fair, he'd have
to fork over $500 of his own money just to get in the door. That ain't cool. That's out of touch. And
it's out of touch when your brand is beleaguered at best.
And does the most harm to the students that's trying to help?
100%. It's an exploitation of the student athlete. They're exploiting the student athlete.
They're exploiting the student athlete. That's what that is.
Yeah.
Commoditizing the student athlete.
Monetizing the student athlete.
Yeah.
Pay us money for a chance to potentially.
To meet these people.
Woo one of these athletes to your business.
To meet these people.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
Literally what it is.
It's a shame.
Bill McChesney watching the program.
Let's get William's photo on screen.
I work for Raikko Kitchen and Bath next to floor fashions.
All the businesses in that building had to change their lighted signs on the front of
the building from colorful to a black background to white outline letters because of the view
shed of Monticello. Do not know
that, William. Thank you for sharing that, sir. Love when you share comments. All the
viewers and listeners, we love when you share comments. Sincerely mean that. I'll close
with this. If you need office space in Charlottesville, Central Virginia, Erin
King A. wants to go with you to Dirty Aces. She said she'll go with you. Erin King is
one of the best operators of the business in Central Virginia, period. She says if you
need a friend to go with you, Erin King will go with you to Dirty Aces. I want to go to Dirty Aces
so bad. I want to go to Dirty Aces, Aaron. I want to go to Dirty Aces too. I want to
go to Dirty Aces. Jager bombs and cold beers and chicken wings and scannily clad women.
And one‑armed bandits. What do you mean one arm bandits? I mean look at the sign. The
fugitive? Look at the sign. The fugitive is in Dirty Aces? Show me the sign, one arm
bandit. I didn't see that. I didn't get past the... You're on the Facebook page, right? I
didn't get past the what? There's a one arm bandit? Show me. You got the photo back on
screen? I mean, I doubt it's... Where's the one arm bandit in this Facebook page?
Go to the second post that's got just the banner.
I am looking at the second post.
All across the bottom of it are coin operated machines.
Oh, you're calling coin operated machines one arm
bandits?
Yeah.
I've never heard that description ever in my life.
I thought you were talking about the guy from the fugitive.
The guy from the fugitive.
I know you love that movie, but come on.
You've never heard.
No.
Slot machines is one arm bandit.
Have you viewers and listeners?
I've never heard that.
The slot machine, it makes sense, is a one arm bandit.
Yeah, there's slot machines all over the signage.
It's clearly Hooters with slot machines, right? Is that what it looks like to you?
That's best guess based on limited information. The branding.
Yeah. Unbelievable. If you need office space in Charlottesville,
