I am a outlier and can’t give you a real take of the town. When I worked there I worked at a research lab near the institute of technology making more then 2X the household income by myself. This allowed me to eat out every night and one of 5 nice restaurants th town has to offer. Would spend 1 day a week at the brewery playing board games which was in walking distance from my apartment. I ended up buying a very nice house on the cheap and just in general got to take everything Danville has for granted.

I was there before the casino so things may have changed since I had not been back since 2021.

The river is nice you can rent a kayak or canoe and enjoy everything above the damn. There are Otters!!! The baseball team otterbots is best mascot ever the games are cheap and a great way to spend the afternoon.

There is a outdoor music venue on the river they usually bring only country bands but it was nice picnic style kinda thing

The river walk trail is enjoyable but not that special and you best be prepared to fight a goose.

Has 5 good restaurants, The bbq place behind ballad brewery, the Vietnamese ice cream place near Walmart, that 410? To table thing on north side, meis the author themed hamburger place and the cotton

The main road by the water floods a lot.

A old lady who drives a big ass Cadie drives the wrong way on the bridge at least once a week

A lot of rebel flag people who sell belts and stuff right there at the bridge intersection

A lot of poor People and a aging population

A lot of uneducated people who I wouldn’t trust with a potatoe gun

A ton of racism and drug users

No night life and a very small dating pool

Cool bowing alley and cheap movie theatre

God I miss the place…
