Wither Charlottesville?

Here are the Virginia municipalities that claim to be the “X Capital of the World.” (Solve for X.)

Thanks to the largess of President Bush and the end of textile quotas, Martinsville might want to rethink that title. But I can say that they make some pretty freakin’ good fried chicken in Gordonsville.

Unfortunately for Chincoteague, Pismo Beach, CA also claims be Clam Capital of teh World. There should be some sort of Capital of the World grudge match.

Here are some more X Capitals of the World.

The lack of a Preview function makes me sad. My poor typing is exposed to the world.

I’ll have to add a Preview button. I’m getting sick of not having one, too.

There, now there’s preview. Live previewing, at that. Fancy.

Where in Gordonsville is the good fried chicken? I need to check that out.

They have an fried chicken festival every June that Amber and I have gone to. Main Street is shut down, and venders line the road, each claiming to have better fried chicken than the next. There’s a competition, and, at the end of the day, the judges name the best fried chicken of the year. If it’s been scheduled for this year yet, I’m afraid I can’t find where, at least on-line. They don’t rely much on the Internet up there in Orange County, though. :)
