It is bounded by Graduate Charlottesville on the east and Bank of America on the west.

Patrons of the Corner's sidewalk cafés can be found spending time over a good book or simply sipping coffee and people watching. Of the 67 businesses in the district, all but sixteen are locally owned, though there has been an increase in chain stores recently. The Corner is encompassed by a Charlottesville historic district, limiting redevelopment and demolition.

Twitch (device)

A twitch is a device that is used to restrain horses for various stressful situations, such as veterinary treatment. Although it may look and sound inhumane, a twitch calms the horse by releasing endorphins as pressure is applied on the twitch, not causing the horse any pain. It is usually made up of a stick-like handle loop of chain or rope on the end, or a metal ring with a rope loop which is wrapped around the upper lip of the horse and tightened. Another design, sometimes called a "humane" twitch, is a plier-like clamp that squeezes the lip with motion akin to that seen in a nutcracker. The aluminium screw twitch is yet another form of twitch.

How the twitch works

The upper lip of the horse is grasped and the loop of chain or rope is placed around it, then the handle of the twitch is twisted until the loop is firmly around the lip. A wooden handled twitch has the disadvantage that it requires a handler and the handle may injure the horse handler if the horse throws its head. Other twitches may be attached to the halter or headcollar. An emergency twitch can be improvised by placing a loop of leather or heavy cord around the nose and tightening it by twisting a stick around and around until it is tightened sufficiently.

Twitch (TV series)

Twitch is an American reality television show which ran between 1995 and 1997, and was the first nationally broadcast weekly video game review show, a predecessor for such shows as Attack Of The Show! and GameTrailers TV. It was created and produced by "Unity Entertainment" based out of Denver, Colorado and was a staple program for the TV! television network (as it was known in 1995) as its chief nationwide distributor.

Cancellation

The series ended after its distributor TV! was bought out and its entire programming bloc replaced with an all-movie format under the Encore Plex banner at the start of the year in 1997.
