My Hometown

One more post for the road. I found this letter in the Danville Register & Bee's "Letters to the Editor" section that I like to call civic pride, Danville-style:

Why is it that some citizens cannot afford the recent hike in electric rates and need assistance just to get by, but our city continues to keep Christmas lights lit in downtown? It seems to me that what the city is paying for those lights could go to someone who needs the help. As of Jan. 26, the lights were still up. Great job, Danville.

Hilarious.
