1. How a Hollywood star helped save Eugene O'Neill's Danville home 50 years ago (mercurynews.com) — Danville's Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site is marking 50 years since a presidential order saved Tao House from a massive housing development, and locals can still tour the property by reservation. The anniversary Eugene O'Neill Festival runs Sept. 12–26, with one remaining performance of "Ah, Wilderness!" at Danville's Village Theatre on Sept. 26 and regular shuttle access from downtown.
2. Nearly a Dozen Danville Businesses Were Hit in a Predawn Burglary Spree Bay Area Telegraph (bayareatelegraph.com) — Danville business owners are dealing with costly repairs after at least 11 shops, mostly in the Crossroads of Danville and Danville Square centers, were hit in a coordinated predawn burglary spree. Thieves smashed glass doors, damaged registers, and stole relatively small amounts of cash and goods, while police continue investigating and ask anyone with information or video to contact the department.
3. How much did the 10 most expensive homes sell for in East Bay in the week of July 27? (mercurynews.com) — Two Danville properties ranked among the East Bay's 10 priciest recent home sales, including a Meadowbrook Lane house at about $2.9 million and a Saddleback Drive estate at over $4.4 million. The roundup, based on county records, shows how Danville's luxury market compares with Fremont, Piedmont, Pleasanton and Hayward during the week of July 27.
4. An event destination: Visit Tri-Valley pushes bold vision to transform region – but not everybody is all-in on the $365M project (danvillesanramon.com) — A proposed $364.5 million regional event center in Dublin could eventually be funded partly through new taxes and fees on visitor-serving businesses in Danville, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore. Local leaders are weighing potential economic benefits against concerns about using future tax revenues and assessments to support what would largely be a privately used venue.
