Anyway, what&#8217;s going on in the area to give some Thumbs! to? Let&#8217;s find out&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to Wayne Alan and the <a href=\"http:\/\/thenorththeatre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Historic North Theatre<\/a>. It&#8217;s been almost two years since Wayne Alan bought and reopened the North Theatre and lots of\u00a0 people said there was no chance that he&#8217;d be successful. I was one of those and I was wrong. Alan is an amazing magician but the theater is way more than a magic show. In fact, they&#8217;ve got a comedy show scheduled for Friday night and the tickets are only $15. It&#8217;s an amazing place to watch any type of show.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong> to the citizens of the towns of Halifax &amp; Virgilina because only the incumbents filed for the upcoming November elections. That&#8217;s a shame. The good news is that&#8217;s twelve races that we&#8217;ll predict correctly. The bad news is that Halifax gets four more years of Jack Dunavant.<\/li>\n<li>And a <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to the Downtown Danville Association and their helpers for putting on the Downtown Scavenger Hunt and doing it perfectly. I heard absolutely no complaints from participants or merchants and that&#8217;s quite rare for a first time event.The JTI Fountain Plaza is becoming a big asset to the city and it looks like it&#8217;s living up to its potential. I&#8217;m looking forward to the next Scavenger Hunt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And there you go. You should be proud. I made it through an entire article without mentioning food. <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to me!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/sclogo.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8644\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2014\/05\/13\/breakdown-danville-school-board-election\/sclogo\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/sclogo.jpg?fit=120%2C120&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"120,120\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sclogo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/sclogo.jpg?fit=120%2C120&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8644\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/sclogo.jpg?resize=120%2C120\" alt=\"sclogo\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You give me the finger, I&#8217;ll give you the Thumbs!<\/p>\n<p> [&#8230;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[58,62,63,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-danville","category-halifax","category-halifax-county","category-thumbs","odd"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pwqFk-2jb","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7975,"url":"https:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2013\/10\/14\/thumbs-10142013\/","url_meta":{"origin":8877,"position":0},"title":"Thumbs!
