Here at C-VILLE we do our best to keep up with the times, and at the end of the year we take a look at all our headlines. It’s no secret that the food scene is a bit of a revolving door, and to recap it all, we’ve compiled some couplets for you once more.
Goodbye Blue Light, West Main and L’etoile.
You were C’ville staples, and we’re going to miss you all.
Farewell to the cult-favorite Jinx’s Pit’s Top Barbeque.

And the bakers at Cappellino’s Crazy Cakes are on the Downtown Mall no more.
We bid adieu to some of our favorites, and maybe a few we didn’t try.
But the good news is that we got to say hello more times than goodbye.
We do apologize if there are any spots that we missed.
But how lucky are we to have such a long restaurant list.
Welcome to the area, Duck Donuts, Nude Fude and Jack Brown’s.

Grab a sandwich at Timbercreek Market while you’re there, or throw a bocce ball.
On that note we’ll bring the 2015 poem to a close.
