The sheriff&#8217;s office sends out a press release on Thursday. Yeah.<\/li>\n<li>Being on Jeopardy! and winning one day gets you a lot of local press. Losing on your 2nd day gets you no local press.<\/li>\n<li>Hidden Treasure for this article? The Halifax County Visitor&#8217;s Center located at the intersection of 360 &amp; 58. Local wines for sale, friendly people, lots of interesting things to look at. It&#8217;s worth the drive just for a fun day trip and even Halifax County residents will like what they find there.<\/li>\n<li>Exactly how does somebody steal three pieces of heavy equipment from Industrial Avenue &amp; Westover Drive without the police or anybody else even noticing that something doesn&#8217;t look right?<\/li>\n<li>I can&#8217;t help but think that the new Danville YMCA will just slide into the Dan River one day.<\/li>\n<li>OK, Woodall Used Cars pulled off making their new location not look like Short Sugar&#8217;s. There&#8217;s still a smokehouse behind the building, though.<\/li>\n<li>Phi-lly Cheesesteaks and Things wants to re-open in Danville, but they&#8217;ve got to find a place that&#8217;s not so expensive and has plenty of parking.<\/li>\n<li>Ever since some commenters mentioned it from the last article, how has Danville&#8217;s Sears store not closed yet? They closed the one in Lynchburg due to slow business. The one in Martinsville closed after the owners of the mall wouldn&#8217;t give them another long-term lease. The Danville store now closes at 8PM, one hour earlier than the rest of the mall closes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s my RandomThoughts! for the day.
