I’m trying to get more fresh content on SouthsideCentral, so here’s some quick thoughts on what’s happening lately. As always, I love to hear your feedback. Let’s jump to some QuickHits! <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
#1: Nothing says “classy” like taking your baby to your high school prom. <\/p>\n
#2: The Danville Register & Bee didn’t endorse David Luther or Thomas Motley for city council. At least I had the guts to say why I didn’t endorse Sherman Saunders and Thomas Motley. What’s their reasoning? <\/p>\n
#3: Unlike Danville, Rockingham County (NC) is having a fun primary with a candidate arrested for having a crack pipe in his car while he’s passed out over the steering wheel of his car. Chuck Faint has taken the high road on this saying that the police could have put it in his car, or maybe it was in there because he had just repossessed it last week. Chuck’s running for the Republican nomination for county commissioner. OddsMakers on him winning that nomination: 0%<\/p>\n
#4: Danville’s having a school board election on Tuesday. Nobody cares. <\/p>\n
