…but it’s just as useless. It’s stupid when Virginia Organizing does it, and it’s just as stupid when Danville’s Tea Party does it.

SouthsideCentral has another “Thing You Oughta Be” doing this Saturday night… and the proceeds go to great causes. I’ll see you at RuggerRoast 2012 at Danville’s Community Market this Saturday night! Looking for a fun, free activity to do this Friday or Saturday night? Well this “Thing You Oughta Be” doing is going to Halifax County’s outdoor performance of “Velda: Girl Detective” this weekend at South Boston’s Constitution Square. We’ve got photos of Wednesday’s before-dress-rehearsal as well as information about the play below… Danville’s Piedmont Mall & Martinsville’s Liberty Fair Mall have some things in common… Sometimes, one photo can say it all… Let’s get right to the main course… Caution: This is a racist article (because I’ve got the guts to write about it). It’s time for Danville’s annual Festival In The Park & SouthsideCentral is covering it LIVE! We’ll have observations and comments as we make our way around Danville’s Ballou Park and the surrounding area. The coverage should start around 2:30 PM and continue for a while, so refresh this article for the latest happenings. Let’s start our LIVE! coverage… … with extortion. News & Views in a quick format. Sorta like Headline News was before they crapped up the format… I’ve got the Hits and you want them Quick! Let’s make it happen. Danville City Council, and City residents, learn of new-found money-$1.5 million. Ho, ho, ho It’s magic you know, Never believe it’s not so.. We’re running a bit late on this, but here’s a photo slideshow of this year’s 2012 Halifax County Chamber of Commerce Trade Show. As always, they did an excellent job in putting it all together. You can visit the Chabler’s website at http://www.halifaxchamber.net/ Enjoy the photos! Bill Bolling was in Danville Monday afternoon to kick off his 2013 campaign for governor. SouthsideCentral was there (of course), and here’s a photo slideshow from the BBQ & rally. Enjoy! Here’s a photo slideshow of this year’s Halifax County Heritage Festival. Enjoy! It’s too late for this year’s Heritage Festival, but it’s definitely a “Thing You Oughta Be” doing for next year. Back after a few days… Let’s get it started. In my first SC blog post I made the following comments in regards to the candidates for Danville City Council: “Do you wonder why no females are running? Do you care?” Imagine my surprise that my comments elicited the following response… Sheila’s fitting in well at SouthsideCentral! She’s got something to say about yesterday’s QuickHits! article. #1: That a sign at Piedmont Mall on a vacant storefront stating “It’s all here at Piedmont Mall” speaks of part of the problem in Danville. That all the words are spelled correctly is a good sign! #2: So, you saw a sign in a store window advertising “Prom Dresses 1/2 off” can be looked at several ways: 1. It must be after area proms so now they are a bargain 2. Some appear to be missing 1/2 of the dress. #3: Glad you found someone in the mall to cut your hair and like the end result-BUT-you don’t have to go to the new “family” mall, which really isn’t a family mall because they don’t want the “teen” part of the family on a Friday or Saturday night. Instead you can go downtown to Amburn & Company and see Sherri and tell her Sheila sent you, get a great haircut, tip her well and never set foot in the mall with empty store’s. #4: Glad there is a new place for lunch but honestly, I just can’t go out of my way to the Institute during lunch hour. #5: If you live in Danville remember to go vote for your City Council and School Board members! No excuses…(Oops! there is no #5, I’m adding one) These thoughts raced through my mind when I read the Quick Hits. Sometimes though I think a mind is a terrible thing to waste! Have a good one! We’ve got a new SouthsideCentral writer, so I’m pressured to keep the content flowing. Let’s do another round of QuickHits! Editor’s Note: We’d like to welcome our newest contributor to SouthsideCentral. Sheila Baynes is well-known in the Southside area and will bring her viewpoints on things to the site. We look forward to hearing Sheila’s viewpoints on anything that she wants to write about. Would you like to be a published author? If so, let us know! – BruceH Will you be voting in Tuesday’s Danville City Council race? If so, what are you looking for in the ideal candidate? I’m trying to get more fresh content on SouthsideCentral, so here’s some quick thoughts on what’s happening lately. As always, I love to hear your feedback. Let’s jump to some QuickHits! SouthsideCentral has listened and talked to all of the candidates in the 2012 Danville City Council race and now it’s time for our endorsements. Let’s follow the money and take a look at the first campaign finance reports in for the Danville City Council candidates. These reports were due on Monday, April 16th and SouthsideCentral is the first to bring you a summary of what was filed.
So now we know who’s running for Danville City Council. Let’s take a look at the field and see what’s out there. |
