Scooter Needs a Name
Since taking the role of executive director of the Downtown Danville Partnership, Anne Johansson has discovered that a scooter can be a girl’s best friend. She parked her electric two-wheeler outside on a recent visit to The Republican’s office. Complete with basket on the back to hold her folders, she’s sold on her traveling office - the only thing it lacks is a name. Send your scooter name suggestions to anne@discoverdowntowndanville.org.
