- Thumbs UP!<\/span><\/strong> to the Register & Bee for reporting that a Walmart Neighborhood Market grocery store<\/a> will be coming to Danville’s Nor-Dan shopping center. Of course, we did real investigative reporting work and published that eighteen days ago (and here’s the proof).<\/a> No. Not really Thumbs UP!<\/strong><\/span> …<\/li>\n
- Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong><\/span> to the Register & Bee for not hustling their ass and doing some real investigative reporting, making phone calls, sending emails and working all possible sources. Seriously. Clone John Crane three times, keep Allison Roberts and you would finally have a newsroom full of reporters that get the facts and know how to ask the tough questions needed to get the work done right.<\/li>\n
- And now, the Historic Moment. Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong><\/span> to me. Yes, me. I screwed up by putting an event on my calendar a week late. Tonight, I had planned to go up to Danville’s Skatetown and do a fun story on the SoVa Roller Derby League<\/a>‘s Spring Break-Em event. It was last Sunday. I’m an idiot. Look at their Facebook page and laugh at the fun that they had<\/a>. Myra Wreckabitch, I’ll make it up to you and the group. Thumbs DOWN!<\/span><\/strong> DOWN!<\/strong><\/span> DOWN!<\/span><\/strong> to me for screwing the date up. I blew it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So that happened. Lots of red today, and it’s all deserved. We’ve got more coming up on SouthsideCentral!<\/p>\n
