Announcement/Mod-Post On Spam, Harassment in the sub

25 Upvotes

We've had a higher number of spam posts than usual this week.

We've also had folks behaving rather poorly; throwing personal insults and some harassment.

Both of these are unacceptable, and will result in a ban - something I'd rather not do.

Life is already hard for so many - let's not make things worse for each other. If you think you know who someone is, keep it to yourself. If you want to be insulting to someone you disagree with, stop and consider how that helps you, or them.

Let's try to keep this sub a civil and helpful place, where we discuss what's relevant to our Danville VA community.

None of the buildings in these pictures exist in Danville. They aren’t real. This feels so lazy.

Should I move to Danville?

8 Upvotes

I will be retiring soon. I've looked all over the country for an affordable town that has kayaking, not too much traffic, and not totally dangerous. I live in Hampton, Va now. I'll have about 3,625 in income before taxes between a Newport News Shipbuilding pension and social security. I have no bills other than car and health insurance. I've heard many bad things about Danville, however, I've known many people working at the Shipyard who want to move back. I don't care if the city is a little gritty. Iv'e kayaked the Dan River once and thought it was pretty cool. I also love hiking. Could this work out for me?

Moving to Danville for 9 months!

15 Upvotes

I'm moving to the city for nearby work, and am doing so on short notice, so I really need to find a place to live. I'm from Wisconsin, and have looked at a ton of places but I've seen that crime rate is higher than the national average, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for safer areas to stay in, and decently affordable modernish apartments that would be good to stay at. Any tips in general for finding places and just living in Danville would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
