“And that, gentlemen, is how we do that.”

That Jim Lovell quote has always been one of my favorites.

Yes, I knew about “Brewed Awakening” on last Tuesday. That’s the new coffee shop business that won the Danville Economic Development’s contest for free and reduced rent at 610 Craghead Street. No, I didn’t blow open the news as soon as I found it […]

That’s why we’re adding the new “LightningRound” category. We’ll be able to keep RandomThoughts to mostly Random Thoughts now. Or maybe this will be RandomThoughts! with a lot more content and […]

School Repairs AND a New Stadium!

Sunday’s Register & Bee editorial went down the wrong track by saying that Danville City Council had more enthusiasm for a new football stadium than for school repairs. Considering that they didn’t even have a reporter at the discussion that night, they’re totally wrong.

Tim Barber’s Big Mouth (Again)

Yesterday, US District Court Judge Michael Urbanski denied Pittsylvania County’s motion to dissolve the injunction that stopped the Board of Supervisors from leading Christian prayers from the dais. If they’re not doing it anymore, why would this injunction still be needed?

Thanks, Tim Barber.
