Charlottesville, a city of about 47,000 people in central Virginia, is home to the University of Virginia and is surrounded by Albemarle County. Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and UVA's Academical Village together form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the pedestrian Downtown Mall, the Paramount Theater and the Virginia Discovery Museum anchor the city center.
UVA and UVA Health are by far the largest employers, and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are home to dozens of wineries that draw visitors year-round. I-64 runs along the south side of the city and US-29 and the US-250 bypass carry heavy local traffic, so billboards reach students, healthcare workers and tourists.
