Let&#8217;s do it&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to Danville&#8217;s newest restaurant choices! In the past few weeks we&#8217;ve had Moon River Thai Bistro, Nick&#8217;s Grill and (that place on Ridge St. that I don&#8217;t know the name too but if you do, tell me and I&#8217;ll fix the article) open up. All have gotten good food reviews so far. Let&#8217;s see how much support they get and how business goes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to the idealism of Sharon Dones and Steven Gould. They&#8217;re the incoming members on the Danville school board, They wrote an oped in today&#8217;s Register &amp; Bee about how it was time for the school board and school system to move forward and solve the problems together. Let&#8217;s see how that works out as idealism meets realism in their first few months of elected office. I hope a lot of people read Dones&#8217; and Gould&#8217;s letter today, even though they only sent it to the Register &amp; Bee. (HA! <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to me for for that bazinga!) SouthsideCentral will be covering a lot more school board activity from now on and we&#8217;ll bring you the only LIVE! coverage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumbs DOWN!<\/strong> to the dumbasses that have been messing with the JTI fountain downtown and ended up breaking it. The fountain was donated but the maintenance work on it ain&#8217;t free, people. And while we&#8217;re talking about it, it&#8217;s a fountain and not a swimming pool. Show some common sense and don&#8217;t let your kids splash around in it. Yuck!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s some quick Thumbs! action.
