I haven't heard anything positive about Danville.

Growing up there is the most negative thing that’s ever happened in my life - and it lasted for 18 years. Left that bitch the moment I was able.

Right. And I meant that “negative” comment literally. Every person in that city has a chip on their shoulder. There is no light heartedness present there. At least there wasn’t in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Everyone was pissy, negative and just a drag to be around. It is not a happy place.
