How about that Big Board?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to Kim Carson and her team of volunteers for putting together the upcoming National Night Out for Halifax County. The event starts at 5:30PM at the Halifax County Middle School on Tuesday. Kim has done a great job at all of the National Night Out events and it looks like she&#8217;s exceeded last year&#8217;s plans already.<\/li>\n<li>Let&#8217;s stick with Halifax County. This one could shock you, but I&#8217;m giving a <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to Gazette-Virginian editor Paula Bryant for getting on the big garbage truck fire incident and getting a web-based story published on Saturday morning. We threw up a preliminary story on Saturday and then completed it once we got the full information, but Bryant got out in the field and did a rare Saturday story for the Halifax County newspapers. News and Record? They finished in third place, getting a web article up around 6PM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to all of the people and community groups that are helping out the residents of the former Jefferson Court apartments in Danville. It&#8217;s wonderful to see everybody pulling together in their own way to try and salvage something for these people. There&#8217;s a lot more to come out of this story and we&#8217;re still working on it.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, it&#8217;s a giant <strong>Thumbs UP!<\/strong> to the Register &amp; Bee (and all other BH Media Newspapers) for finally implementing the paywall that I told you was coming last week. yes, they&#8217;ve accomplished their goal of pissing off a lot of their readers and customers, and I&#8217;m betting some of their advertisers won&#8217;t be too happy. I&#8217;ve already defeated their paywall so I don&#8217;t give a damn about it. However, SouthsideCentral would love to hear from potential advertisers about space here.
