To my
fellow citizens of Danville. I urge you to help our mayor and his
administration with more ideas to make some monetary cuts, and not
personnel cuts. The employees of Danville have endured cut after cut
after cut and now must do so with decreased wages. However, not every
agency has been forced into this situation yet. Rumors are flying
around that our police, fire, and public employees jobs are under fire
once again. Everyone knows that all of these groups have already
endured cuts the past few years. How far must we cut our workforce to
cover the extreme mishandling of our money during the last
administration! As citizens of Danville, you all must take
responsibility for your community. I'm quite sure that a large chunk of
this outrageous budget crisis is derived from unpaid taxes, debts,
fines, water bills, garbage bills, need I go on!? The gas tax was a
good idea, however, the timing was very poor. I freaked out myself when
gas jumped 25 cents in a single day (which it seems to cycle around
every two weeks). Then, when I go inside to pay for this unexplainable
and rash increase I find a list of all the city alderman's names and
numbers. At the top of this list is the proposal of raising the gas tax
3 cents. I'm pretty sure that the gas tax would have been far more
cheaper than the repairs your vehicles will need banging over the best
of streets in Danville. By no means am I complaining about our public
employees. I watched them do more work to our city this year than I
have in the past ten. Taxes, taxes, taxes, we pay them all, while
businesses and companies come and go for brief tax free stays. This
city seems that it's only for rent. It seems that we have more people
trying to figure out how to manage the city than those actually doing
it. Somebody must not know their job very well. Citizens, it's time to
take a stand and hold those in control accountable for their lackluster
abilities. If we don't take pride in ourselves and neighbors now, we
will have no one to blame but ourselves. So, please talk to your
alderman, city council, and mayor and tell them that the answer is not
to cut anymore employees. If we continue with the increasing trend of
cutting employees and paying them less, who is going to perform our all
our city services?

My name is
David Budka and I am railroad traction fan. In looking at several
pictures of downtown Danville I became curious about how the Illinois
Terminal Railroad got around the community. Buildings that stood out
were the Breese Building, the Vermillion County Jail, and the Illinois
Power Company's downtown power plant.
I think the Jail was just behind the power plant, across the street from
the substation, and the power plant just a block or two from the Breese
Building. David Budka |

21:35:29 Howdy all. Been a long time since I have
ran the streets of good old Danville. I could not wait to leave. But as
probably everyone of my generation used to say 'you can take the boy out
of Danville but you cannot take Danville out of the boy. Graduated in
83' left same year, back in late 84' left again in 87' for the Military.
I keep in contact once in awhile with a couple of people but I was
wondering who else is still there and who may remember me. I was
wondering about a couple of people. One whom I remember very dearly and
will love till the day I die is Kari Runner, do not know her married
name. I wanted to tell her I was sorry. If anyone knows her please tell
her I said hello and That I still have pictures from the newspaper of
her children That my mother had sent me. Also I was wondering if anyone
knew what ever happened to Greg Scott???? Have not talked to him since
94'. Well I hope someone will read this and e-mail me with any info or
just to chat. I stumbled upon this website, good idea. Also before I
close Pam Hesser, e-mail me if you see this. Hope all are well.

Hello Danville,
I've been researching for a friend's birth family. I believe that his
cousin may live in the Danville area. Her name is Diane, she is a
special ed teacher and her husband is a consultant for the cable TV
industry. I don't know her married name, but her father was Theron Belt
and he died in Fithian in 1978 and is buried in Sterns Cemetery (In
either Muncie or Ogden). I'm researching from California and can't find
out much about Fithian except that it's a small town. Would the News
Gazette be the paper I would look in for his obit? If you know the Diane
I'm looking for please tell her about this message and ask her to e-mail
me. Thank you Debbie Adams azjd@sierratel.com |

I have taken several digital photo's of several
beautiful old stone bridges
located at the back of Harrison park. This was a picnic area and the
stone bridges are still there and they are in surprisingly good
condition. There trails which wound around the woods and the stone
bridges were a part of the trails. The entrance was on top of Woodbury
Hill and is located just East of the Amateur radio club (A-Frame
clubhouse).
I would like to find some of the history of these bridges as to who
originally built them and why was the area was abandoned and let fall to
ruin. I can remember driving to the area as a teenager and taking a date
"parking" there as it was a common place for young people to frequent in
the late 60's. There was also a very large wooden trestle type bridge in
the same area. It was a link between the North picnic grounds and the
South picnic grounds. The concrete piers are still in place as are the
concrete steps and walkway leading to it. The picture of the steps in
the pictures I am sending is from the South roadway, down to the stone
bridges. Very interesting place with some obvious history. Best
regards, Chuck Johnson Formerly a Danville resident (Tinchertown)
PS, I'm also looking for some pictures of the old Iron Railroad trestle
which crossed the Vermilion River, close to Forrest Glen County Park .
It was torn down a few years ago. This could have been the first
railroad bridge South of Red Bridge.
Thanks for the Pictures we will
post them over the net three days on the home page "Picture of the Day"

Well, I now know his full name and so again I am asking for any

I have a
strange request. When I was 7 years old my best friend Cathy Fritz was
murdered by a man named Daren L. Bolton in Tucson, Arizona. Bolton has
since been executed for the murder of a 2 1/2 year old girl. Bolton
however lived in Danville and was accused of other crimes there in the
early 80's. I was just wondering if anyone might remember anything about
the crimes he committed there. (one was a rape and beating and the other
was a murder of his x-wife's therapist's co-worker) If you know anything
or can point me in a good direction please feel free to write me at
Fxfalconfx@yahoo.com.
Thank you, Vanessa West
If anyone has
into please write. This link will take you to the arizona Sate

I have a
very old floor lamp that I inherited from my Grandmother who lived in
Milwaukee, Wi. I have no idea how far it dates back but expect any where
between the 1930s and 1950s. It has "Danville" stamped on the bottom in
uppercase. Curious if there was a lighting company in Danville and where
I might find more information on this specific lamp or the company.
Would make sense that she may have purchased this from the area since
she lived in Wisconsin. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking
for a man named "Denny"... He worked for the Danville Police
Department/ Vermillion County? ( I believe), back in 1979 and apparently
long after that. Most likely in his 50's now, either an officer still
or recently retired. Any help on this would be most appreciated....
Thanks.

I moved
from Danville to Texas in 1985. I love Texas but I will always love
Danville more! Danville is home. Danville holds many good memories
for me. I try to make it to Danville at least once a year to see my
sister, Ruthie (Edmunds) Crose and my best friend, Doris(Warren)
McClure. Every time I come to town I am surprised by another new
business or a refurbishment of an existing business. I am so glad to see
that Danville is thriving! I thought it was dying back in 1985 but it
is looking pretty good. This web site is the best ever!! I have enjoyed
going through and looking at all of the pictures of places that I don't
have time to go see when I am there for my visits. Thank you so much for
creating/maintaining this great web site!!

Not long ago, I
wrote that my landlord lost his farm and that I needed help finding a
place to live. The only thing I received was a note from the editor
stating that they will have a realtor friend of theirs contact me. No
body contacted me. Tonight my landlord came over and stated that he
wanted a key to the house because he was bringing things over tomorrow
to put into the house. EVEN though I am still here. Does this mean that
nobody cares even though I tried? I really do want to do the right
thing, but it seems that there is no help when you need it. I told him
that it wasn't legal the way he told me (a note slipped in the mail
slot) but he said his lawyer will get a hold of me. All I want to do is
get a place to live, even though it is not my fault he lost his farm, I
paid my rent. CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? |

RE
Information request from J Russell, below:
This message is for Inquiry. I believe the School she is asking about is
Collett. The dates figure in about the same time era the school was in
operation. Since this mans residence was on Williams St would have
placed him in the neighborhood Elementary School. However, the School
was located on Kimball St, just one block away from Collett Street. I
hope I was of some help.

Hello! my name is Jodie Nolan and I saw a request
to know more about Grant school.
Some friends of mine bought it (friends of friends actually) I heard it
cost them about 1$-part of a beautification grant or something in
Danville. Their names are Sherman and Lisa (sorry can't remember the
last) although Lisa's maiden name was Howie. I have been there since
they fixed it up and it is BEAUTIFUL!!
they have a chapel on the main floor and have redone the gym into a
stage (Sherman is a musician) and the 3rd floor is where the main home
is. They are using the classroom there for the rooms, I've never seen a
bigger kids play room!! I don't know if they still are living there I
saw them last about a year ago and they were having trouble with their
roof. If you get the chance to go there, they are happy to show people
around and are very proud of their home
I hope this helps you !! Jodie Nolan

I was born and raised in Danville, Illinois and
this system of communication (this Website) is absolutely one of the best programs I
have ever witnessed. In 1927 I was fourteen years old and watched the
centennial parade on corner of Jackson and Main Street. Does anyone
remember what organization had the largest contingent of marcher's in
this parade? Bob Wright, and I discussed this event many times with Bob
when he was alive. Anyway, this communication system is excellent
advanced thinking and whoever came up with the plan is to be commended.

who that man was. This would of been in 1960, Any idea or information

food to eat, I worried for him sitting in the cold begging for money. As

Did Danville ever have a "friendly town"? It was
a small "town" in central park where the kids could drive little cars.
I understand they had to pass a test before they could participate.
Was there a movie made in the early 70's about Danville using the
children in the town? I would love to see this if it is still around
and maybe get a copy! Thanks!

Just learned of this sight tonight. Think it's
great and am sure I will visit it often. I have an inquiry to make.
Back in the mid 50`s a restaurant was located on the Dixie hyw north. It
was a nice place but not too large and I believe it would have been a
little south of the present day Wal-Mart. Of course back then it was
completely out of town. I would like to know the name of it. It was on
the right hand side when traveling north. Recently, when I was in
Danville I believe I probably located the building. It houses some small
business or is possibly empty. As I recall it being painted a dark brown
with some orange trim. Can some one help me with the name and proper
location? I was told once that a survey showed it was on a level with
the old First National Bank Building downtown. Thank You.
(Mary, Check out the Picture of
the Day today (Home page), is this it? Also there was an old brown
restaurant Italian or ribs? It was long abandoned when we came here in
'83 anyone remember ? Was it "Tony's"? Webmaster) |

Initial Inquiry:
Dear Sirs at Danville, IL,
I am doing a research on John
"Jack" Pettis, a jazz saxophonist that should have been born in Danville
between 1895 and 1905. If you could provide me information where to
apply for a birth certificate, or other, I'll appreciate very much your
help.
I look forward to hear from you soon.
Kindest regards

This inquiry was referred to the
Illiana Genealogical and History society In IGHS in Danville Illinois.
Their reply to this site (and Mr. Borsetti) Follows.
Webmaster Sorry it has taken me
awhile to get back with you but I live in Indiana and don't get a chance
to go to the courthouse at Danville very often.
On my recent trip there I found a card in the birth index file with a
child being born on Oct. 27, 1895 to Wm. & Rachel Pettis (#3/119)but
there was no name given for the child at birth. In further
checking I did find out this child was a male and the 2nd born to
this couple. I also found two other children born to the
same parents, those being Elizabeth C. born June 15, 1900 &
Flora born April 14, 1906. I would assume this is most
likely the one he is looking for but cannot be sure. I am not sure
but I think I did check the 1900 census for VC and they were gone or a
city directory, I am not sure. If you would like me to
recheck the census I will do that next Friday when I work. You
could also have him e-mail me there and ask me to check it. If he
was born in 1895 he would be listed with his family.
From a follow up email: I did forget
to mention in my message to you that births were not required by
law to be recorded until 1916 in the state of IL and you might want to
mention that in your response to Enrico Borsetti
regarding John "Jack" Pettis.
Hope this information helps. You can
re-write it however you wish (and) put it on the Portals Message board.

If it is,
where it is now and do you have any other pictures of the area.

Hi, I was referred to this wed site, and was
wondering if anyone had a picture of the old Liberty Grade School, I
went to school there around 1954-1960, or close to that time frame.
Where the Mall is now on Vermillion Street, there was the old school, a
grocery store called the Liberty Market, and a small hamburger place
called "The Rich House" that was across from the A&W Root Beer Stand. I
use to work there when I was 14 and 15 years old, but now all these
buildings have disappeared and in my minds eye I can still see them, but
wish I had pictures of them so when I'm telling my children and grand
children about them I could also show them.
I'm also looking for pictures of the old Sutton's Root Beer stand that
was across from the school, where the Steak n Shake is now.
I grew up out in Lake Blvd, at the north end of town. Seems strange to
come home and find so much going on there. When young I took swimming
lessons at Mandy Temples pool at her home. I spent most of my baby
sitting money at "Ginny's Sweet Shop" a garage that was turned into a
small grocery store with a pool table, but the most fun in the area was
the "Spring n Swing" where the Lowe's store is now.
If anyone could help in my search of old photos of any of the above
mentioned places, or just want to talk about growing up in Danville,
and, or especially anyone who grew up in the Lake Blvd area in the 50's
and 60's, please e-mail me or send me a fax.
I love Danville. . .twenty one years of my life was spent there and it's
home to me always, no matter how many more years I live away in
Kaysville, Utah.

My old address was
3744 North Lake Blvd

I found out that my old bedroom
and utility room is now a beauty shop!
What progress doesn't bring to a
persons life.

post them on the "Scenes around Danville" page also.. Webmaster)

I was glad to see your website, it looks like it
will be very informative, since I moved to Texas in 1982, I miss
Danville sometimes and it's good to be able to see what's going on up
there. As a DHS alumni would like to know of any future activities for
the class of 74 Good luck on Webb site.
Thanks Chuck. Take a look at the Alumni site on

Hello once again Danvilleland-enjoy
the snow while you can/if you can. My thoughts on the river walk in
Danville is no way-all we need is another place for the police to patrol
cause this will certainly invite some good and bad "walkers" plus
Danville has way to many other more important issues to deal with, and
we certainly have plenty beautiful places to walk like Kickapoo,
Kennekuk, Forest Glen, Middle Fork scenic river and others-I could go on
and on but at this point I won't.
Isn't this a swell website-I've
made my home page and love it..see ya all later........John Lehman

I really like the web sight. but I don't like the idea of a river walk
here in Danville, because there to many other things danville needs
other than a river walk.

( I ) Have been directed to this web page by a
friend in Danville. I LIKE IT, one way of getting to a large audience, I
like the idea of a River Walk, send some one to San Antonio and see what
they did with a dirty old river, it can be done on a smaller scale

Once again, my thanks to you (at BEAMSCO). I
have let the board members know the new e-mail address and the web
site address. Thank you so much for a fantastic looking web
site and all the hard work by you and Joe (at FSPConnect).
It is a web site I am very proud to refer
others to as well as the allarounddanville web site. I think it is
a really great way to promote
Danville. I hope many others get into the system. I am
e-mailing a
friend in Norway and have passed on the allarounddanville web site
address to her so she can see what our area is like.

I am delighted to have discovered this site which
celebrates the rich
history, natural beauty, and the various attractions of Danville and
Vermilion County. Your site offers a nice summary of the many good
things that are in or have come from the area.
Keep up the good work!

Please correct your opening statement and relocate
Danville on the North Fork of the Vermilion River , not the Salt Fork.
Thank you for providing a wonderful service by establishing this site.
Many of us had to leave home but will not forget the memories we have of
living there.
(Thanks Pat, you would think someone in town
would see that first, I moved us and we didn't feel a thing. ED)

I enjoyed looking at your site. As a DHS alumni who now lives in St.
Louis, I think it would be a good idea to include a link to the DHS
Alumni site
(Thanks
will put this

I was introduced to your website yesterday at the
Illiana Genealogical & Historical Society and really think it is one of
the best sites I have seen and used.
It is a real benefit to anyone seeking
information of any kind about Danville. I have found items that I
didn't know about before. Keep up the good work!!

.....the site is great! It's the most comprehensive "Danville" site I
have seen thus far!
I've attached a pic of the waning moments of Balloon Classic Illinois
2001. As you may already know there may not be a Balloon Classic 2002
due to insufficient funds. I think that is what gives this somewhat drab
photo meaning. The last moments of a legacy.....Thanks for your
support,
Kevin

Hello Danville land just wanted to pop in and say
I'm real glad we have a real "Danville" website now-I went driving
around the web (I don't surf the web I drive-broadband you know) and
couldn't find any towns our size that had a site like this one here let
alone a Portal-I encourage everyone who stops by here to keep coming
back cause I know this site will only get better and bigger with lots
more to offer the Danville/Vermilion county area and we need to support
what we do have-well that's my input if you have any lets hear it, I'll
be watching daily see ya all............John C. Lehman
