Shame On The City & Danville Utilities!

Pay your utility bill. If you can’t pay your utility bill, get help to pay it. In fact, I’m going to tell you about a good payment plan that’s available to help you out (not that Danville Utilities is talking about it). But with that being said…

The City of Danville & Danville Utilities were bluffing about over 2000 non-pay service disconnections that would have started on September 1st. And the city and Danville Utilities are also barely talking about a payment plan option to get anybody out of disconnect danger. I’m going to talk directly about it. That’s shameful, wrong and disgusting behavior. I’m calling it out right now.

Thumbs! (6/1/19)

Holy crap! I’ve got a new laptop and ready to write some. How about some Thumbs! to get something going? Tough. You’re getting them anyway, Let’s play.

  • Thumbs UP! to Dustin Pierce and the crew at C&D Family Pawn. They got me a great price on a laptop and helped jumpstart SouthsideCentral yet again. I highly recommend you going to their recently expanded store on Piney Forest Road and seeing everything that they have for sale.
  • Thumbs UP! to the Reidsville NC Chamber of Commerce for picking up the reins and keeping the Reidsville Cruise-In going after the car club lost interest in it. It’s still a work in progress but I went to the May one and it’s still a destination event on the 2nd Friday night of every month.
  • Finally, a Shameless Plug for me (and an opportunity for you to get great furniture. Thumbs UP! to ME, dammit. I’m now working at Ashley HomeStore in Danviile, so if you’re looking for some great new furniture at great prices, come to the store and ask for me. I’ll take great care of you and show you what makes Ashley HomeStore the best furniture store in the region. And I’ll get you the best price possible. That’s a promise.

Well, WordPress has changed since the last time I’ve written an article and I can’t figure out how to do the colors. Yet. But hell, you’ve got a lame Thumbs! article to restart SouthsideCentral again. And again. Heh.

More coming up on SouthsideCentral!
