Does anyone know why? I'm new to the area. What surprised me is the mention that Charlottesville dropped from 45,049 in 2000 to 43,475 in 2010. Does anyone know why? I’m new to the area.

I would think the reading of the verdict will be a bit different but it's nice that the city has provided a separate place for the media to keep them out of the courthouse.

I was very disappointed to surf over here and see six comments. Then I realized that they began with Belmont Yo, slid past teaparty complaints about occupy, and penultimately rang in with a nearly epic poem. Y'all rock!

The circus began
To see the big trial
Of this little man

The broadcast, the cable
The weeklies, the dailies
The bloggers, the tabloids
Like Barnum and Bailey’s

We walk a tight wire
In modern society
On one hand, intrigue
The other, propriety

Some see the macabre
They can’t help but to stare
Like the scene of a car crash
Or men fighting a bear

Is justice replaced
By a sick, perverse sideshow
With sensationalist coverage
From the moment they say GO

Guilty, not guilty
To them, doesn’t matter
They feed us and feed us
Crime deep-fried in batter

If the trial is boring
It will be a disaster
For all the news clowns
And their cunning ringmaster

But there is relief
That I failed to mention
We can help end the circus
By not paying attention

We can close their three rings
Give Love’s life its true worth
By not treating sadness
As the Greatest Show on Earth

Has it been paid for? What's the cost to the city for law and traffic enforcement? How about the additional parking costs? The other thing I was thinking is: do they have a permit?
