Participate in our PTSD clinical research study. See if you qualify.

Hey Danville,

I'm a research professor from Michigan State University (link to my university profile). I'm recruiting interview participants who 1) live in small towns and rural communities and 2) have experience with gig work (e.g., Uber/Lyft drivers, Mechanical Turk, etc.) or informal work (e.g., under the table work, independent subcontractors, etc.). Interviews take 45-60 minutes and you'd receive a $20 gift card for compensation. If you're interested in learning more about the study, shoot me a DM or an email (jhardy@msu.edu). I'm happy to provide more information. Feel free to share with others you think would be interested!

Hey everyone. Doing my due diligence for a potential move by traveling around Danville. So much to love about the area. One thing only has me hesitant: there seems to be a disproportionate number of low-income housing units for such a small town. Was out late last night and there seemed to be an edge to the element that was driving around. I sought out and found a surprising number of units. My experience is once it is in, it doesn’t go anywhere and only gets worse over time as the property ages. These units are very different from just making some apartments in a standard apartment complex available for low-income. Does anyone have any experience with these? What is the general sense of them?

Is there much opportunity within a short drive for hiking, kayaking and so forth? Where are the spots that are pretty and fun to escape to? I’m thinking of moving to Danville from Wyoming. KY is closer to family and has much cheaper cost of living.

No particular reason to pick Danville except I found a nice 6 month rental and the area looks nice. I'm excited to meet people in the area. Any suggestions for the first 3 places I should visit and in which order? Since I'm moving RIGHT before Christmas I'd also be interested in an local municipal events scheduled.

The Clinic for Emotional Health at the University of Kentucky is currently recruiting for a cognitive behavioral therapy group for people with anxiety and/or depression. The therapy skills taught in the group have been proven in over 70 clinical trials (see a review). Here are some important details

• Group will take place on Thursday evenings starting in early November
• Group will be offered via Telehealth (i.e., secure Zoom)
• Group will be delivered by counseling psychology PhD students; they will be supervised closely by a licensed clinical psychologist

Hello! I will be taking my driver's test in ~2 weeks at the DMV in Danville. Does anyone know the route? I would love to know in advance so I can prepare myself. Thank you! :)

UPDATE: The "route" was literally in the parking lot, lol. So I hope this helps with anyone else taking their driver's test in Danville!

Does anyone know what is being built there?

Hi, I will be moving to Danville soon, and I was wondering if there are any local boxing gyms?

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Kentucky family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Kentucky family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

• Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
• Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
• Most common causes of death in your family history
• United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
• Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
• Most popular professions and careers in your family history
• Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Kentucky, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!
