The Occupy Charlottesville movement got its start Wednesday evening at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion, with dozens of people coming together to go over fundamentals of how the group will work.

They also discussed which space they should actually occupy, though that decision hadn’t been finalized by press time. Among the contenders were the University of Virginia and a number of locations downtown: Lee Park, Court Square and a section of the Downtown Mall. In general, the downtown options appeared to have more support than the University of Virginia at about 8 p.m.

Donna Carty of Charlottesville said she’d been waiting for such a group to come together.

“I have been following Occupy Wall Street since the very first day. … It reflects something I’ve been thinking for years,” the Charlottesville resident said.
