Carrie Petrick &amp; Ina Dixon helped start the organization and it&#8217;s grown fast since then. If you&#8217;re tired of the same people making the same criticisms about Danville, join Danville By Choice and help spread the word that Danville is overall a good place to live. There&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1761786694041206\/\" target=\"_blank\">a Danville By Choice Meet &amp; Greet event on Friday night (2\/12) at 2 Witches Winery &amp; Brewing Co. starting at 6PM<\/a> and you&#8217;re invited.

The editorial board (which means Robert Benson) has resurrected their &#8220;Highs and Lows&#8221; editorial article format. They do a quick recap of things that are good and bad with good things being &#8220;Highs&#8221; &amp; bad things being &#8220;Lows&#8221;. That&#8217;s such a catchy idea that we may just do that here at SouthsideCentral. I just don&#8217;t know what to call that type of article. I&#8217;ll try and figure out a catchy title and format for it.

Now that SouthsideCentral is covering more meetings, we&#8217;d love the chance to attend and cover both meetings. Feh. I&#8217;m trying here, folks.
