CRN: Sandy McAdams of Daedalus Books remembers Charlottesville in the 70’s
13 August 2007 | By Coy Barefoot in Charlottesville--Right Now, History, Radio Shows, WINA
One of the downtown fixtures of the City of Charlottesville for over 30 years is Sandy McAdams, the owner of Daedalus Bookshop. He joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville to talk about the challenges he’s had operating a business off the Downtown Mall. McAdams moved to Charlottesville in 1974, at a time when 29 North “had four buildings on it.” He and Coy talk about what our city was like in the mid-seventies, when the creation of the downtown mall was causing controversey. But McAdams and other business owners persevered while East Main Street was bricked over, and brought attention to Charlottesville by helping to create the famed C&O Restaurant.
