I can still remember the first time I heard the name Albemarle. Not only did I mis-pronounce it, I could not spell it either.
Well the main thing to know is that Albemarle is in central Virginia and that Charlottesville is located almost exactly in the middle of Albemarle.
Home of Thomas Jefferson (his home was Monticello) and of course the University of Virginia, I beleive it is a true gem of this great country.
The city of Charlottesville has a population of approximately 40 thousand which is why we have the feel of a small town. However, we also have the amenities of a big city. We have theaters, art museums and even big name shows that come to Charlottesville.
Our downtown mall is a walking brick lined mall with shops, ice skating and an outdoor theater for weekly events!
Many visitors enjoy the wineries and top off their visit with a breath-taking hot air balloon ride!
If you ever want a treat, plan a trip to visit my town, you will be glad you did!

So, Charles, how do you pronounce it? Is it Al-bah-MARL-ay? OK, I probably mangled it.
