The Charlottesville 29

What about yours?

Every Wednesday, a winner selected at random will be announced to be featured in that week’s Five Finds on Friday. The winner will also receive a $100 gift certificate to a restaurant supporting the Culture of Takeout. For the first winner, announced on Wednesday, October 21, the gift certificate is to Lampo.
