Six classes have graduated from UVa in the the time that Bodo’s has been ostensibly on the verge of opening a Corner location. The class of 2005 may be the first to actually see that happen. Owner Brian Fox, who has been using the location as the business headquarters of his other two locations, is going through all of the motions of opening for business in the next couple of months, including hiring the forty people necessary to run the location. This isn’t the first time that the Corner location has been said to be on the verge of opening, though — people have come to feel proprietary about Bodo’s in the meantime, so expect much grousing if it doesn’t happen this time. John Yellig has the story in today’s Progress.

on opening day too, i bet.
/sarcasm
why is everyone in Cville taking this opening like it is the second coming of Christ?
Who freakin cares? If business man wants to make MORE money, he would have open it sooner. If business man wants to have a big sign outside saying coming soon, then it is his decision.
I just hope they get rid of the loud music that they are known for. It is a very uncomfortable atmosphere when dining in. That might be the idea though, get ’em in and out as quick as possible.
Well, October is almost over….

I love Charlottesville, even when it’s exhibiting the best in southern inefficiency or getting a little big for its britches.
