get your urban on

Charlottesville’s hipsters rejoice - today is the long-anticipated grand opening of Urban Outfitters on the Downtown Mall. Devotees of the brand love the ecclectic mix of bohemian, retro, kitschy, and ironic clothing and accessories. Personally, I love the niche perfumes and quirky cosmetics.

Even if screen printed t-shirts and throwback styles aren’t your thing, stop by anyway in the next three days - the store is donating 10 percent of sales to the Music Resource Center, which educates and inspires young people through music to equip them with life skills for the future. And while you’re dowtown, don’t forget to show a little love for the mall’s other residents - we love Eloise, O Suzannah, Londons Bathecary, and Revolutionary Soup for lunch.
