Shops may come and restaurants may go, but the local vibe on the Corner carries on. The recent closing of the College Inn, a restaurant with a 53-year history on the quaint strip of commercial properties across the street from the University of Virginia, has caused concern on social media among longtime residents and UVa alumni. The loss of the eatery, combined with last summerâs closing of the Cornerâs iconic Littlejohnâs Deli, has some worried about a change in atmosphere in the university-centric shopping district. Chris Engel, Charlottesvilleâs director of economic development, said it likely wonât change that much.
