SouthsideCentral’s look at February’s Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce‘s Business After Hours rolls along. This event was held at God’s Pit Crew on North Main Street. We’ve already published Part #1 & Part #2, and here comes Part #3! It seems that certain governmental authorities don’t like their upcoming business dealings exposed on SouthsideCentral before they take place. Normally Sunday is QuickHits day, but I wanted to make a special February 29th edition because I could. Heh. Let’s take a look at some of the stories that have caught my eye over the last week. Today, Trina McLaughlin announced that she will run for Danville City Council in the upcoming May elections. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish her statement unedited so that our readers can see it in its entirety. On Friday, Fred Shanks announced that he will run for Danville City Council in the upcoming May elections. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish his campaign’s statement unedited so that our readers can see it in its entirety. You start with a small issue. Hyperbolic community outage and social media make this issue grow larger than it should. A tone-deaf upper management statement turns the entire situation into a dumpster fire. Hoo boy. Let’s talk some common sense about Danville Mall’s decision to not allow the city’s bus service to stop on mall property. Today, Philip Haley announced that he will run for Danville City Council in the upcoming May elections. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish his campaign’s statement unedited so that our readers can see it in its entirety. Today, Sheila Baynes announced that she will run for Danville City Council in the upcoming May elections. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish her statement unedited so that our readers can see it in its entirety. Let’s continue with our look at February’s Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce‘s Business After Hours held at God’s Pit Crew. We published Part #1 yesterday and we’ll move right along with Part #2. Today, Danville City Councilman Buddy Rawley issued a press release saying that he would not be running for another term in the May elections. SouthsideCentral is glad to publish his remarks in full so that our readers can read them unedited. SouthsideCentral loves the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce, and for good reason. They’re an amazing organization that works to make the region better in things like tourism initiatives, workforce development, educational outreach and business support. It’s well worth it to join the chamber. The chamber’s February Business After Hours was held at God’s Pit Crew and SouthsideCentral was there! We’ve got a PhotoCentral series of articles on the Business After Hours event. After that was over, we took a tour of the massive warehouse and you will get a chance to see how much this wonderful organization can do. Let’s get started with Part #1 of this series now! It’s taken longer than expected for high utility bill complaints to roll in this year, but they’re now showing up. A lot of people don’t seem to know facts about utility bills, so it’s time for some talk about this topic because… “These fifteen things I KNOW are true!” At last Tuesday’s Danville City Council work session, Public Works director Ric Drazenovich talked about the city’s costs in maintaining the Sutherlin Mansion (the location of the Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History). Let’s take a comprehensive look at those numbers. It’s time for a BreakDown. Sunday is QuickHits! day. Let’s take a look at some of the stories that have caught my eye over the last week. SouthsideCentral was LIVE! at Thursday’s Danville School Board meeting. This article is now complete, and I hope you enjoy the recap. We gave you a comprehensive recap of what happened at Wednesday’s bankruptcy auction in an earlier article. We had the most photos of any media source, but some of our photos just didn’t make the final cut for the article. Let’s do a BonusCentral PhotoCentral (say that fast three times) and look at the rest of the photos from the auction. After a long hard day at work, I could use some laughs. So let’s throw up (intentional choice of words) another PhotoCentral article in the “Still Dead” series about Reidsville’s Pennrose Mall. The links to the previous five articles in this series are below the cutline. Let’s resume our tour! SouthsideCentral told you late last night that Danville’s Industrial Development Authority was going to buy some River District properties at a bankruptcy auction today. That didn’t happen as planned, but they sure as heck tried. Let’s take a comprehensive look at what did happen today. SouthsideCentral has learned that Danville’s Industrial Development Authority will buy the properties at 701 & 705 Loyal Street and 706 & 720 Wilson St at a bankruptcy auction. Although this might sound like a regular real estate transaction, there’s a twist to this one. Editor’s Note: This article is in editing mode now. Things can and will change. I’ll let you know when the article is finished. SouthsideCentral is LIVE! at tonight’s Danville City Council meeting. The meeting starts at 7 PM, and it should be over quickly as there are only three non-controversial items on the agenda. We’ll stick around for the work session as well. Be sure to refresh this page often for the latest photos, happening and commentary. We’ll clean the article up in the editing process and add some bonus coverage. We’ll get started around 7 PM. We’re going to wrap up our look at Friday night’s Danville By Choice Meet & Greet. We published Part #1 in the series on Saturday night. We had a great time seeing old friends, meeting new friends and finally connecting to friends that we only knew from Facebook. Special thanks go out to Julie & Ethan Brown at 2 Witches Winery & Brewing Company for hosting the event, too. If you know names in these photos, please feel free to leave them in the comments section. Let’s get going… Sunday is QuickHits! day (except when it’s not, of course). Let’s take a look at some of the stories that have caught my eye over the past week. Here we go with another winter storm for the Southside region! The City of Danville has sent out some Frequently Asked Questions about the city’s snow removal process, and SouthsideCentral is glad to publish them so that everybody can see them in full. We’ve mentioned Danville By Choice a lot here at SouthsideCentral and there’s a good reason for that. It’s a group of people who love living in Danville and aren’t ashamed of saying it. You can become part of the group by “liking” their Facebook page and spreading the word. On Friday night, Danville By Choice hosted a meet and greet event at 2 Witches Winery & Brewing Company and we had a great time. We’ve got a few PhotoCentral articles coming up filled with photos from the event. Let’s get started with Part #1! |
