But I can do better at writing long-form articles like this.<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t know that Danville has three Rotary clubs.<\/li>\n<li>Dell&#8217;Anno&#8217;s Pizza Kitchen downtown has a great cheeseburger special for less than $5.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s no need for table service at a place like Dell&#8217;Anno&#8217;s. I liked it better before they remodeled.<\/li>\n<li>The Riverside BP isn&#8217;t closing. They&#8217;ve just covered up the BP logos because they&#8217;re not going to be part of the BP brand anymore.<\/li>\n<li>The URW credit union location near Lowe&#8217;s need a separate parking lot for all of the cars that they repossess.<\/li>\n<li>Lidl is a nice grocery store, but I still can&#8217;t get everything I want from there.<\/li>\n<li>Texas Steakhouse is in serious need of a remodeling. Or something.<\/li>\n<li>This year&#8217;s fall fair &amp; festival season has been just &#8220;Meh&#8221;. Eden&#8217;s Riverfest was cancelled due to the pending tropical system, South Boston&#8217;s Harvest Festival didn&#8217;t even advertise to this area, the Halifax County Fair came and went without much notice and the Danville\/Pittsylvania County was half wiped out because of rain.<\/li>\n<li>On that note, Yanceyville&#8217;s Bright Leaf Hoedown was about the same as it&#8217;s been every other year. It&#8217;s good for about a two hour visit.<\/li>\n<li>SouthsideCentral hearts Alexis Earhardt. As the president of the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce, she&#8217;s got the amazing personality and the inner toughness that the late Laurie Moran had. She&#8217;s also brought her style to the job. She&#8217;s a perfect fit.<\/li>\n<li>Danville&#8217;s city staff needs to fix the problem of Airbnb rentals needing to go through the Special Use Permit process. That&#8217;s just too much bureaucracy for a relatively small transaction.<\/li>\n<li>Holy crap. I got carried away here.
