I've been to Danville, just long enough to look around but not long enough to mingle. What I remember most is the beautiful old residential neighborhoods with big, lovely old houses that natives considered "expensive" and "overpriced" at, oh, $120K. I remember the big old brick tobacco buildings downtown. The place seemed to be crying out for gentrification - those buildings looked just like the places that startups love to inhabit. But being a small town with no notable tech industry or universities in the immediate area, it's hard to imagine it becoming a success story like Durham appeared to have.
