It’s been almost a month since our Thumbs! got a workout. Let’s fix that problem now…
You know the drill…
- Thumbs UP! to Laurie Moran and the staff at the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce for picking up another 5-Star accreditation rating from the US Chamber of Commerce. I’ll say it again… the Southside region has two the world’s best Chambers of Commerce with the Danville Pittsylvania and the Halifax ones leading the way.
- Thumbs UP! also to the Danville Veterans Day parade as Sunday’s annual edition was a pleasure to watch while we honored those who have served our country. Unfortunately, we’ve also got a perpetual Thumbs DOWN! for the lack of people who showed up to watch and honor our veterans. Danville (and surrounding areas), you can do better.
- Hilarious Thumbs UP! to Virginia Uranium for irritating the hell out of the anti-mining community by putting up their own billboard on US29 at White Oak Mountain. The billboard says “Welcome to Pittsylvania County, future home of the safest uranium mine in the world.”, and you could hear the anti-mining crowd’s heads explode. They’ve even gone to the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors to get them to get that sign taken down. Needless to say, that failed miserably.
That’s a quick workout for our Thumbs! More to come on SouthsideCentral…
