Well, semi-random.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve yelled out for a Big Board and we&#8217;ll fix that now. BIG BOARD!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ed &amp; Barbara Talbott are truly amazing people. Ed&#8217;s Honda in South Boston is closing after a terrific long-term run and they&#8217;re having a closeout sale of all of their Honda products. If you&#8217;ve been looking to get a Honda motorcycle or off-road vehicle, make your way down to their dealership quickly. I really wish the best for them. They&#8217;ve got the proverbial heart of gold.<\/li>\n<li>Hey, while you&#8217;re in South Boston, go see their daughter Bunny at Riverdale Auto Sales. She&#8217;ll get you a great deal on a nice car as well. Phil has an amazing skill to fit 3,184 cars in their lot. \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<li>No, they&#8217;re not advertisers but I love to promote good people and good small businesses.<\/li>\n<li>Food talk! The local McDonald&#8217;s have brought back their 49\u00a2\/69\u00a2 hamburgers\/cheeseburgers on Sundays and 99\u00a2 6-piece Chicken McNuggets on Tuesdays. Mouthy quite approves Tuesday&#8217;s deal.<\/li>\n<li>If South Boston is losing Margaret Coleman on town council because she&#8217;s moving away, that means that Halifax County is going to lose Frank Coleman. I&#8217;m heartbroken. There goes the only person who called me a racist. Sigh. Who will be appointed Interim Race Pimp for the county?<\/li>\n<li>Danville Regional Airport. Very few people actually knows what happens on the aviation side. I learned a lot on Monday by stopping by that side and asking some questions. I talked with the Rembolds, and I&#8217;m going to feature more about the aviation and operations side in the future. Here&#8217;s the bottom line though. The airport is very important to the business community and it&#8217;s very much-needed for Southside to have any competitive chance at business recruitment.<\/li>\n<li>Mecklenburg County&#8217;s school board is under fire for adding years to their superintendent&#8217;s contract. He&#8217;s unpopular with the community but I think he&#8217;s doing a good job. Oh well.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;ve never met Rockingham County (NC)&#8217;s Sheriff Sam Page, you need to. He&#8217;s an amazing guy and he&#8217;s one of the best sheriffs I&#8217;ve ever met. He&#8217;s highly influential in local, state and now national politics. He&#8217;s larger than life but is still very approachable and easy to talk to. I just got the word this morning that he&#8217;s going to skydive with the All Veterans Group to raise $2500 for Special Olympics. I&#8217;ll have an article up on this later today.<\/li>\n<li>Dunham Sports not only will be coming to Danville Mall, they&#8217;ve signed on to put a new store in Martinsville&#8217;s Liberty Fair Mall. Developing&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>I remember when there were at least 20 different tenants in the Masonic temple building.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s some RandomThoughts for now.
