“Charlottesville has got a longstanding reputation as an incubator of creativity. Perhaps it’s due to the hazy Blue Ridge Mountains or the abundant historic architecture, or maybe the presence of the world-class University of Virginia. Whatever the reason, this lovely Southern town is home to a thriving community of musicians and writers, and was, of course, the favorite spot of Thomas Jefferson. The appeal is C-ville’s ability to feed both mind and body. There’s the Festival of the Book every March; Friday’s after Five, a free concert series going on May through early October; and the Virginia Film Festival every Fall, as well as lots of rivers and lakes in the surrounding area for tubing, canoeing and kayaking. Jefferson himself called it the Eden of the United States—and he didn’t even live long enough to try the famed potato doughnuts.”
