Well s**t I live in Danville. In my opinion you should've emphasized gun violence more for Danville considering there is a gang related shooting literally everyday somewhere in the city.
I'm from Danville and it's pretty accurate. We nicknamed Danville little Chicago over recent years. You get all of the shootings and murders and none of the job opportunities, yayyyy.
yikes i live in danville, definitely should be higher on the list.
I live in Danville it's the most dangerous now
I live in Danville its a gross town..... Definitely
The crime is high and shootings are frequent. Most of the locals are untrustworthy and even the "best" areas arent safe from shootings and theft. The town has an abundance of bars, churches and salons and not much else. The only things to do here are cause trouble, pray and breed like rabbits.
The local places to eat like to pass off canned vegetables or grocery bought coffee and tea as something worth over charging for. There are cockroaches on the tables at several establishments and people here have the mentality on racism and sexism that you'd find most suited for the 50's mixed with an overwhelming air of bitterness and defeat.
