The Three Sisters

It was an overcast day but the Three Sisters stood tall against the sky, visible from all over Danville.

The Three Sisters, as affectionately called by local residents, are the iconic brick smokestacks circa 1882 from the historic Dan River Mills, a major textile manufacturing operation that shaped the region’s economy for decades. City leaders and developers preserved the hisoric stacks as a visual centerpiece during the modern redevelopment of the property.

Cycling the Dan

Greg and I spent a weekend in Danville, Virginia, and I enjoyed riding on the Riverwalk Trail which is situated along the Dan River. The city of Danville got its name because it developed near a major crossing and falls on the Dan River which powered the massive historic Dan River Mills textile operation, shaping the local economy for generations. In the decades since the textile industry died, Danville has transformed its old tobacco warehouse district into a bustling River District featuring local restaurants, breweries, loft apartments, and a gorgeous riverfront park.
