Bodo’s Bagels on the Corner is opening? Today?!? Ok, so only maybe three of you get why this is a big deal…if it’s true. Bodo’s Bagels is a bagel place (duh) in Charlottesville. Two have been open in town for a long time and do huge business. A third on the Corner has had various “Coming,” or “Coming Soon” signs since our first year at UVA. Smart people could go to undergrad and get a PhD in that time. Every couple years there was a rumor: “Bodo’s is really opening this time.” And a rumored excuse: “He’s not opening because his ex-wife would get the profits.” It’s almost become a C-ville landmark. A legend. There’s a “The Corner Bodos Is Just Messing With Our Minds” club on thefacebook. People used it to pull an April Fools prank last year. See, it was almost opening last year too.

Here’s a much better story on Bodo’s background.

We shall soon find out - is the Corner Bodo’s really really opening this time?

6/16/05 Update: Bodo’s really opened yesterday. Hallelujah.

There probably used to be tags for this post. Sorry, it\'s broken.
