And in this case, Tom Perriello has to be pleased.

Since Karen Maute’s proposed 25-mile uranium mining ban was defeated, you’d hope that the topic was dead and buried, eh? Wrong. Tuesday night, Marshall Ecker will try and get the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors to pass a 20-mile ban. Second verse, same as the first. Back-to-back New SouthsideCentral features… it’s your lucky day! This article kicks off the “Who’s #1?” series where we’ll countdown (countup?) things that fit a topic. If you’ve got any ideas for some “Who’s #1?”, let us know. Today, we’re going to tell you “Who’s #1?” in the category of “Defunct Movie Theaters”. They were great places to watch a movie, but they’re all out of business now. Let’s take a tour of the SouthsideCentral area’s Defunct Movie Theaters while we tell you “Who’s #1?” Let’s start with #6 on our list… Yep, it’s time to debut yet another new occasional feature on SouthsideCentral. TYOB! stands for “Things You Oughta Be”… quite simply, it’s “things you oughta be doing”. (We’re awaiting the Grammar Nazis on this phrasing). When we find something we like, we’ll tell you about it using a TYOB. It could be a website, a place to visit, a movie… the possibilities are limitless. In our first TYOB!, we say You Oughta Be… Calling Graham Cinema! Four Danville City Council seats will be up for grabs on May 4th. Since the Register & Bee has started the ball rolling with an article about the race, let’s start drilling down into some scenarios and play with some speculation. Kim White, Halifax County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney, is LIVE! at Bob McDonnell’s inauguration at Richmond and she’s sent in some great photos! We hope you enjoy looking at them. Thanks, Kim! UPDATE: Video now included. Ever seen the movie “Vantage Point”? It tells a story from the viewpoints of multiple people, each with their own motivations. If you’d like to see a local version of “Vantage Point”, it happened this week in South Hill during a Q&A session with the seven candidates for the Republican 5th District nomination. Let’s try and figure out what went on… Mike McPadden (Republican candidate for the 5th District nomination) was in Danville on Friday night. Gotta admit, I was pleasantly surprised at his professionalism and knowledge. A good friend of SouthsideCentral is taking the time to help out a local six-month-old baby who’s fighting cancer. Let’s get out there and help! Mike McPadden, one of the candidates for the Republican 5th District nomination, will be in Danville on Friday night. SouthsideCentral hopes to be there LIVE! Jena sent us some photos to remind you to not forget our feathered friends during the winter. 🙂 Let’s get some “Thumbs” moving in this edition! Here’s a story that’s made no news in the Southside VA area… yet. Or so says Bill Hay… (done in a Larry King voice, of course) We’re now listed on BlogNetNews, the leading aggregator of blog sites in the USA. Thanks, Vivian Paige! You’re going to love this story! Sarah’s one of our contributors here at SouthsideCentral and her son just had a feature article written about him. Toby’s a 4 year old, 34 pound wrestling machine. Bill Granger, the owner of Halifax’s Triangle Florist, gets his name and business in “Martha Stewart Weddings”. Nothing was taken as the robbers took off running. Our thanks to the awesome Gracie Gunnell for getting these photos! Laurence Verga, a candidate for the 5th District Republican nomination, hired out the guy known as “Joe the Plumber” to come campaign for him. They made an appearance at Danville’s Mary’s Diner at 9 AM today. Here are some photos from the event. Tonight’s your last chance to watch the drawings. He might have bailed out of Danville, but he’s still getting rich off of Martinsville. They’ve been called out on it by another reader, so let’s take a look at it. Gotta admit, I called this one as soon as he proposed a set of five debates… By now, you’ve heard that a Danville police officer shot & killed a suspect who pointed a gun at him. Let’s talk about it. We haven’t shamelessly plugged our Twitter feed lately, so here we go! Want to get the latest goodies from SouthsideCentral (and assorted other stuff as well)? We’ll tell you how. |
