Decatur looks great; thanks for the pics. I have been to Danville...depressing Danville.

Decatur looks much better than I thought (and it has a Jimmy John's!).

 

I've been to Danville.  That's all I'll say about that.

It's just incredible how unfamiliar I am with the state I live in.  Thank you for showing me these distant foreign lands.  Some really nice architecture

The original built environment is def impressive in Danville. Obviously it used to be a much grander city
