The Town of South Boston is getting into the blight removal business. One of the first buildings you see entering the town will soon be flattened… and good riddance to it.

Everybody has Thumbs!, but not everybody uses them properly. SouthsideCentral knows how to use our Thumbs! At a special work session before Tuesday night’s Danville City Council business meeting, council agreed to a $2.4 million settlement with Duke Energy for the February 2014 coal ash spill. Let’s look into the details that have and haven’t been talked about. Let’s look at what really happened on Tuesday. Let’s do a BreakDown. On Monday at 4:20 PM, SouthsideCentral was first to report on another serious employee accident at Danville’s Goodyear plant. We published the story on our social media channels. That accident has now been confirmed by Goodyear plant management. SouthsideCentral is issuing a partial retraction on the “Employee airlifted to hospital burn center” portion of our original report, but we stand by the original reporting of the accident and that has been confirmed by Goodyear’s statement this morning. Our official statement is below the cutline.
When we left you in Part #4 of our Racin’ & Tastin’ PhotoCentral series, we were getting ready to eat our delicious meal of Checkered Pig BBQ. But the fun continued at Danville’s Community Market, so here comes Part #5! One of the best things about the annual Racin’ & Tastin’ events is the Checkered Pig BBQ dinner. When we left you in Part #3, we were in the food line ready to get our meal. I can’t leave you hanging on that, folks. Let’s eat! We had just made it inside Danville’s Community Market when we ended Part #1 of our PhotoCentral series on 2016’s Racin’ & Tastin’ event. Let’s keep it going with Part #2! The 15th annual Racin’ & Tastin’ event was held at Danville’s Community Market and SouthsideCentral was there! We’re starting a PhotoCentral series of articles so you can see what was going on at the event. Great food, drink and awesome people… that’s the recipe for a terrific night. Let’s get started with our PhotoCentral tour. SouthsideCentral is on Instagram, and we encourage you to follow us. You’ll see yet another way that we provide the best media coverage of the area. We also look for Instagram accounts that are interesting and fun to look at. Today, we’re going to show you one of the newer accounts that has followed SouthsideCentral and mentioned us a few times. Let’s take a look at “This Emporia VA Life” and see some of the beautiful photos that they have featured over the past weeks. This was one of the most bizarre Danville Planning Commission meetings that I have ever seen. I guarantee that you will laugh while reading this article. I honestly can’t blame all the other regional media for not covering this meeting. But hey, we’ve got photos and are going to make an article out of the RIFA meeting anyway! It’s Sunday! Or it’s Monday when you read this. That means it’s QuickHits day. Let’s take a look at some of the stories that have caught my eye over the past two weeks. We’re back after the halftime break at last week’s Danville City Council candidate forum. Let’s quickly jump to the next question. SouthsideCentral was LIVE! at Thursday’s Danville School Board meeting. This article is now complete, so enjoy the recap! Reidsville NC’s 2016 Downtown Cruise-In series starts this Friday (April 8th). The event officially runs from 6 to 9 PM, but the first one of the year usually runs a bit earlier than that due to earlier sunset and cooler temperatures. The downtown merchants will be open, so come early and have dinner at Dav Gerrells’ Cafe 99. (Hint: There’s a Cafe 99 food photo at the end of the article.) We were running a series of PhotoCentral articles from the August 2015 Reidsville Cruise-In, so we thought we’d add a few more to the series so that you could see what the fun looks like. We’ve got links to the other articles below the cutline. (Editor’s Note: Yuck. This article is a mess. I’m in the editing process now, but it’s going to take a while.) SouthsideCentral was LIVE! for Monday’s Danville City Council meeting. We’re in the editing process now. We’re going to make it to the halftime break in this article. Part #1, Part #2 & Part #3 have already been published, so you can catch up and refresh yourself on the scoring system. Let’s roll. The PhotoCentral series on Saturday night’s “Old South Ball” has turned into some of SouthsideCentral’s top articles for 2016. Due to that popularity, I’ve made Part #4 in the series ahead of schedule. We have the links to the first three articles in the series below the cutline. Enjoy! All righty. We’re getting back up to speed with last week’s Danville City Council candidate forum. Part #1 & Part #2 are already published. We’re continuing with the third question asked. Our PhotoCentral series on 2006’s Old South Ball continues here on SouthsideCentral. We published Part #1 earlier today, so now let’s get to Part #2. The 2nd Annual Old South Ball was held on Saturday night at Danville’s Community Market. SouthsideCentral was there and we’re going to start a PhotoCentral series so that you can see what happened. We had a great time with great friends and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event. Let’s get started with the first article in this series! Texas Steakhouse and SouthsideCentral are working together to let you learn more about this year’s candidates for Danville City Council. You’ll be able to talk to candidates in a casual setting… and Texas Steakhouse will be offering as special menu for their great food and great prices! The doctors and staff from Danville Orthopedic Clinic held a press conference in front of the River District Tower building project on Friday to announce a new name for the multiple medical offices. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish senior partner Dr. Mark Hermann’s speech unedited so that our readers can read it in its entirety. |
