Dan River Incorporated announced this morning it is donating 13 buildings that were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s to the Danville Historical Society.
The mills have been empty since workers left them in 1996.

The Virginia Lottery Board says that sales this year are expected to be the highest they've seen in the agency's eleven year history.

New Jersey school children may have to recite the Declaration of Independence without referring to "men".

But in the Senate, critics say some of it is sexist. So phrases such as "all men are created equal" would be changed.
