Many repurposed

Many of them have been made into condos, restaurants and office buildings. Spectrum Medical etc. Some are still storage, one was made into a parking garage. Main site of course was leveled and Caesars Casino is being put on that site. https://www.caesars.com/caesars-virginia Last but not least is this one along the river. Starting to look pretty good from the road and is supposed to include a white water rafting feature. Link below to Dan River Falls for the official site, and here is the concept as originally proposed. https://www.architecturalpartners.com/project/white-mill-... ** Edited by Virtual Hokie at 10/30/2023, 4:49:31 PM

Biscuitville**

Used to work at a Biscuitville when I was a teenager
EDGEMAN • 10/30/23 10:42 AM ET
NC has Biscuitville, WV has Tudor's. Virginia gets screwed on breakfast.**
Victor Tango • 10/30/23 11:53 AM ET
There are several Biscuitvilles in Virginia, but they are only found...

The one in Danville is a big one on Piney Forest Road.
