We already know that the famous “HOME” part of the HOME OF DAN RIVER FABRICS sign will appear at this year’s Community Holiday Light Show at Danville’s Ballou Park. Now we know where the HOME letters will call um… “home” after that event is over.

The recent stabbing on Danville’s James St. that resulted in a murder charge has a sad family connection to a Danville murder that happened over five years ago. Let’s hop in the SouthsideCentral Time Machine and fill in the blanks. Let’s keep the PhotoCentral series on Danville’s Veterans Day Parade going with Part #2. We just published Part #1 less than an hour ago, and we’re going to have a lot more coming. We’ll continue where we left off. Danville’s Veterans Day Parade was held on Sunday, November 8th and SouthsideCentral was there! We’ve got a lot of PhotoCentral articles coming up in this series, so let’s get started with Part #1. SouthsideCentral did a LIVE! coverage of Monday’s Danville Planning Commission meeting via streaming video and our laptop computer. Hey, it worked! Enjoy the recap of what happened. Things are bad when you have to sell your pickup truck to pay your bills. Things are worse when your town has to sell their pickup truck to pay their bills. It’s QuickHits time! The permit process is underway for a new Hampton Inn in Danville. SouthsideCentral was LIVE! from Danville City Hall for Thursday’s Danville City Council meeting. This article is now finished, so enjoy the most comprehensive recap of what happened. SouthsideCentral was LIVE! at Thursday night’s Danville School Board meeting. We had to leave early because the Danville City Council meeting was cross-scheduled, but we covered what we could. Enjoy the recap. It’s time for the 8th annual Bright Leaf Brew Fest! It’s happening at Danville’s Community Market on Saturday, November 14th… and it’s a Thing You Oughta Be Doing! Let’s find out some more about the event… TYOB stands for “Thing You Oughta Be”. And I’ve got a Thing You Oughta Be doing on Saturday, November 14th. It’s “glance”, an event that’s never happened around this area before. Let’s find out about it… SouthsideCentral had the best election coverage in the region last night and we’re glad that you came to the website to see what was happening. This article is now complete, so enjoy the recap. It’s been a long Endorsement Week but we’re finishing up all of our political endorsements in this article. Let’s work on Pittsylvania County’s Board of Supervisors’ elections. We’re going to Speed Round mode to get the rest of our political endorsements published. In this article, we’ll clear the rest of Halifax County’s elections off the board. In 2011, Fred Clark won his first term as Halifax County Sheriff easily as the incumbent completely melted down into a scandal that ended up sending him to jail. That’s not the case in this election, as incumbent Clark is showing very few weaknesses. Four years ago, Pittsylvania County voters ousted 20+ year incumbent Sam Burton from the school board by electing Wayne Robertson. Burton is back to run against Robertson in a Chatham/Blairs district rematch & SouthsideCentral believes that Burton should be returned to office. Endorsement Week continues on SouthsideCentral and we’ll get the unopposed Pittsylvania County constitutional offices out of the way now. (SouthsideCentral Policy: SouthsideCentral accepts all political advertisements. Any candidate who chooses to place their ads on SouthsideCentral are told directly that their advertising will not influence the endorsement process in any manner. Kate Berger has advertised on SouthsideCentral.) Kate Berger won a four-way election last year to officially finish out the term of Pittsylvania County Treasurer and is now running for a full four-year term of office. She’s done a great job so far and SouthsideCentral is endorsing her reelection. We’re going to take a break from Endorsement Week here on SouthsideCentral and wrap up our series on Friday’s activities at the River District Festival. The “Glow With The Flow” 5K race has just started and we’ll take it from there. Voters don’t usually pay much attention to elections for Clerk of Court in Virginia and that’s the wrong attitude to have. The elected term for Clerk of Court is eight years, so that means voters will be “hiring” somebody and end up paying them over $1,000,000 in salary & benefits. It’s a very important decision to make. SouthsideCentral believes that Mark Scarce is the best candidate for this job. It’s one week before the general election and it’s also the start of a week filled of SouthsideCentral political endorsements. We’re going to get started with the easiest ones. Let’s talk about the region’s Virginia House of Delegate races. They’re all unopposed. It’s late at night and one of our terrific SouthsideCentral readers was at Danville’s Market Square shopping center. The parking lot was almost empty. I think you know what’s coming next. Our Friday night at Danville’s River District Festival PhotoCentral series continues, and it’s about time for the “Glow With The Flow” 5K run/walk to get started. Let’s get to the action… If the calendar says Sunday, that means it’s QuickHits! day. And it also means that you have a talking calendar… It was Friday night in Danville’s River District and the River District Festival’s activities were in full swing. SouthsideCentral was there, and we’ve got the second part of our PhotoCentral series ready to show you what was going on. Let’s keep it going! |
