Thumbs! (9/15/2013)

You’ve got Thumbs! to the left, Thumbs! to the right, and we’re the only Thumber in town…

Let’s see our Thumbs! like and dislike this time out…

  • Thumbs UP! to Joe Zappacosta. He’s leaving the director job at the Halifax County library system and moving to the director job at Danville’s library. He’s leaving a library system that was overseen by a board of directors that was dysfunctional at times.  Now, the #1 & #2 jobs in the Halifax County library system are open. Good luck to the next person who steps in that revolving door.
  • Thumbs UP! to Danville Public Schools superintendent Ed Newsome. He’s starting his run in the job by conducting open house meetings with teachers & parents, asking them for problems and solutions. If this is how Newsome’s job path will continue in Danville, he’s starting off in the right way.
  • A rare but well deserved Thumbs UP! to the Register & Bee for a mocking photo in the story that Downtown Danville has 5000 parking places available (so sayeth a study).  Photographer Steven Mantilla went out and got a photo of a line of potential parking places that are unusable because of pallets of bricks sitting along the curbline. Well played. Very well played.

That’s all we have for this edition of Thumbs! More coming up on SouthsideCentral…
