Big Boards all the way.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t laugh at me. I went to Kickback Jack&#8217;s for the first time yesterday. A bit of sensory overload at first but it&#8217;s a very nice place. Good service, the expected sports bar kind of food, and more TV&#8217;s than I thought possible. If we did a restaurant review on the place, it would be safely in the &#8220;A&#8221; range.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, I went to Ham&#8217;s last week. Quite the opposite impression there. It looks rundown and heading for Happy Trails Land soon. Ugh.<\/li>\n<li>The house that my grandmother used to live in on Jefferson St. is now a boarded-up example of blight. It hurt to see that. Serious hurt.<\/li>\n<li>Yoder&#8217;s Country Market just before you get to Yanceyville is a Hidden Treasure.<\/li>\n<li>Wasn&#8217;t the Toys-R-Us in Danville supposed to be closing like 20 years ago?<\/li>\n<li>Gotta say that the Danville Mall&#8217;s new video board looks awesome.<\/li>\n<li>Food for today? DellAnno&#8217;s Pizza Kitchen before the school board meeting.<\/li>\n<li>We trade out a tank museum in Danville for a mortuary museum in Chatham. Well, anything for tourism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;re out of RandomThoughts!
