What is Lynchburg, VA like?

That about nails it. Lynchburg has a few nice area but mostly white trash and everything seems old

Don't forget the moonshiners that inhabit the area

Its beautiful and really growing thanks to Liberty University and some high tech firms moving there. The Forest area in particular, is beautiful. Parts of downtown Lynchburg are yucky, but I'd move there in a heartbeat given the opportunity. Its in a gorgeous part of the state, and living expenses are roughly half what they are here.

It is a very beautiful area... Lots of great trails to hike, really nice this time of year.

Drive down route 29 for a few hours some day. It's beautiful almost all the way to North Carolina. If I recall correctly it gets a little trashy on this side of Danville, but even Danville is pretty nice.

I'm certainly not a fan of all the racial slurs, but the negative views on Lynchburg have merit. My wife and I relocated there about 18 months ago. Now we are doing anything we can to get out.

The downtown is a DUMP. Aside from a childrens museum, there is nothing to see or do there. After dark it's a ghost-town! The local mall is pathetic. The few stores they have there are barely stocked. We always find ourselves driving an hour or more to find decent shopping. The restaurants are few. We find nobody really cares if the food is good, the place is clean or service is satisfactory, even at the chains. The only nightlife spots are a few redneck joints playing Bluegrass or country-western. Liberty U obviously runs the town and sucks up a lot of tax money to fund its own expansion projects. Even their audacious LU scars the one nice mountain. The only area entertainment is a LAME LU theater and a few Christian Rock (HA!) concerts.

People there are generally not friendly and we are from the NE! Only one neighbor gretted us when we moved into the neighborhood. Outside of church or childrens sports, nobody socializes.

The cost of living is NOT cheap. The taxes in Lburg are high. The grocery prices are aweful (no competition). The cable service is outdated and overpriced. The housing prices rival most of what is offered in CT or Mass. The only things slightly cheaper there are gas and electric. You do save a lot of money by sitting home bored and not going out.

Even the few things people like about the area are either sub-par or not really in Lynchburg, the Blue Ridge Pkwy, Natural Bridge etc. At best Lynchburg is worth a 1/2 day stop on the way to a better town!

Klan rallies provide the best opportunity for socializing in Lynchburg. You'll meet all your neighbors at the rallies.

Sorry but Lynchburg was named for John Lynch.

Dear Fenway Fan, AKA Godless Massachusetts liberal (I'm guessing):

In your tax sucking statement about Liberty, the absolute opposite is true. LU pays for all its required improvements, and is responsible for a lot of the growth. One of the reasons businesses are moving to Lynchburg is because of Liberty. LU, you know, that campus with no theft, rapes or drop dead drunks. Who'd want to send their kids there?

Housing prices, compared to Fairfax Country (you may have noticed this is a Fairfax County site) are roughly half for a similar property here.

It is also not where the word "lynching" comes from.

Grocery stores are "aweful" - meaning you are full of awe at how great they are?

You hate Christians and you can't spell. Go back to New England.

Better than Fairfax.

Lynchburg? alot of white people fucking each others sisters and cousins


....thats about it

Change the name

Carpet bagger Yankee piece of shit get out of town, go back to whatever failed industrial shit hole you were spawned in. Y'all are a great example of why our beautiful commonwealth is being ruined. Go home ya damn Yankee crybaby! Did you think you were going to be living in a bustling hive of commerce and culture? Its fucking Lynchburg dammit! And its been fucked up more by L.U. than the end of commercial river traffic and agriculture. The city isn't pretending to be anything more than it is, a small southern city. Jackass. Its a great place to live, but the economy there had been fucked since the seventies when all of downtown appeared empty. The place used to hum though. Now just another suburb encrusted struggling town. But, still lots to do there, or within a reasonable drive if your not a whiney transient Yankee prick. Go home and take some of yer bluebelly friends with you. There's too many of y'all down here, not even counting all the dead ones y'all chicken shits left buried all over the state the last time ya came down in numbers like this. Just fuck off back north, please.

Sorry, mama would be mad at me, would y'all care to sit for a spell or perhaps care for a bit of tea before you go?

We remember.

It has a typical dying downtown of a smal city that sits near an interstate where Walmart Supercenter and a mall have sprung up. They intercept traffic that would ordinarily go into town to do their business.

it's where they used to lynch people. they're waiting for you.

that's why you've been seeing their messages

You don't want to know. They don't call it Lynchburg for nothin.

What, exactly, do you remember? Getting bitch slapped during the Civil War? Someone from Lynchburg calling anywhere else an "industrial shithole" is irony at it's best.

I hope you understand these big words redneck. YEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!

Fenway Fan do you still live in Lynchburg? My husband and I are in the same position as you and your wife. We moved here for his job and we both haaate it here! We are used to large cities with a lot to do. Long story short, I need to socialize with people that have a more similar background to me ASAP. I am tired of hopping on a plane at the joke of an airport or driving hours to see friends. So, if your wife ever wants to grab a drink or have a group hangout I would be totally interested. I know this is weird but I have been here almost a year and have not met anyone I would want to hang out with and am at my wits end! Worst case scenario we can bond over our mutual baditudes about the town.

You are the prime example of why every educated person that moves here wants to leave immediately. The downtown IS a dump and will remain empty because the pathetic local economy can't support it. A cultured society means not having to commute over an hour to do something interesting or worthwhile. This town has one movie theater, going shopping means Target AT BEST, and the 'community' is nothing but vile, hypocritical, judgemental bible thumpers that hide behind their faith so they can say whatever the "Lord has put on their heart".

nothing worth bombing...

good hot dogs at Moore's Country Store

Yeah but you are only pointing out the disadvantages of living there. What about the advantages like...

Cleaner air

Less than 100,000 people per square mile.

No I66 and 495 madness

People's first language may actually be English

Plenty of the best shine in the land nearby

Blacks don't go out after sunset there

Remember, the dirtiest White community is still leaps and bounds ahead of the wealthiest black community.

No where in Northern Virginia has 100,000 people per square mile. The only place in america that has that population density is NYC, maybe downtown chicago. DC itself has only about 20,000 people per square mile in its central downtown. If you include the full district that falls below 10,000 also.

You are dumb, makes sense for a right tard xenophobe. Feel free to go live in Lynchburg and work on your dirt farm with your other white redneck piece of shit meth selling criminal asshole faggots you nascar ejaculate.

Git-R-Done!

Larry the Cable Guy coming soon to D.C.

I agree with the opinion of most Lynchburg transplants here. My husband and I moved to Lynchburg almost 5 years ago and I can not wait to leave this horrible place. I am used to living in a mid sized city, lynchburg is so tiny and closed minded. There is absolutely nothing to do unless you want to shop at Walmart or eat at McDonalds. Our Friday night date night consists of eating fast food and buying groceries. It is hard to even buy decent groceries. Last week I went to 3 stores looking for Chicken thighs for a recipe. Many lynchburg natives are delusional and think there is so much to do here. The highlight of the month is that a new car wash opened. We are trying to get out as soon as possible.

Lynchburg will no doubt be a better place after whiners like you carpetbaggers are gone.

That's doubtful since people like you will still be here. Newsflash! The civil war ended 150 years ago. Get over it!

Hop in your 1982 DeLorean Motor Car and set the time machine to 1955.

Lynchburg is not a diverse community at all. Half white, half black and limited hispanic or asian. Just over half of the whites are country bumpkins and the other whites act like their southern country club snooty types (though their wealth pales in comparison to anything seen here in Fairfax). You are defined by what church you attend and if you have children, what elementary or high school they attend. If you are white and upper class (or think you are), you have to live in the 24503 zip code. Anywhere else and you may as well be nobody. If you are part of the inner circle of "old Lynchburg" folks and happen to have family members that attended E.C. Glass back in the 60s, chances are good you have a social life that involves visiting bars on Rivermont Avenue or one of the Country Clubs in town (Boonesboro or Oakwood). Also a good chance you made it in to college simply because mom and dad could pay your way to Hamden-Sydney, Davidson, Washington & Lee or some other private country-club like school.

What is really funny is that the "wealth" in Lynchburg proper is nothing in comparison to Fairfax County. Lots of focus by wealth whites is on how to "help" the poor blacks that live in town. Nothing in many decades has changed in town to improve the living or employment situation of blacks. Some of the older generation whites still speak of how the ni$$ers still take over downtown and how you can't go riding in the car down Main Street or MLK Ave without locking the doors and putting up the windows. Lynchburg as a whole is a poor community. The surrounding counties of Bedford, Campbell and Amherst have their own feel as well. The Forest area of Bedford is where more white collar workers live, if you can say Lynchburg has any white collar jobs beyond daddy's banking, furniture or insurance business.

Bottom line, if you aren't from there, don't go there. You won't be welcomed and you will find things quite backwards from what you experience in a diverse community like Fairfax County. Yes, real estate is cheaper...taxes are about on par and the school system is in the crapper. In an effort to improve the schools, Lynchburg even hired a prior Assistant Superintendent from Fairfax County to be the Superintendent of schools. Things have improved, but not enough to make a big dent.

If you moved to Lynchburg hoping to fit in and get connected, I wish you the best as it will be an uphill battle. If you are thinking of moving there, DON'T. There are better places in the research triangle of North Carolina with much friendlier people and LOT more dining/shopping options.

Finally, Lynchburg was named for John Lynch who established a ferry service across the James River to support the tobacco trade. Yes, lynchings did occur in the "Hill City", but the city was named after a person, not the practice of hanging black folks.

Whites have been trying to help the blacks there for decades, but at some point, the blacks will have to do something to help themselves. Like stop being such lazy savages.

Great post! +1

Got sucked back here several years ago to care for my dying mom (we are not originally from here by the way) and everything "what a cletus infested shithole" and "FenwayFan" say are true. LU owns this hellhole and their religion is shoved down your throat. City taxes are far higher than the services provided are worth and if your zip code isn't 24503 you are of no consequence to the local fake gentry who are the indigenous species. I live in 24551 and it is full of posers and wannabe 24503ers. I met a guy (also not from around here) and re-married and I feel trapped and suffocated here because we now have grandchildren and I hate to leave them.

Lynchburg sounds like a hideous cesspool. I'm glad I've never had the pleasure of seeing it or smelling its stench.

As much as I can't stand Christians, this post has to set some record for cuckold/snowflake/SJW/White guilt posting for even this board.

You're always free to move up to SE DC and live with your preferred apes, Grammy.

Don't forget about the Fleet enema factory!

I have worked in Lynchburg a lot over the years and live in Fairfax. Honestly I think the people down here are way more friendly and always like it here compared to NOVA.

It would be boring here if you are single and nightlife is lame but it is relaxing to get away from all the assholes in Fairfax.

The town has a lot of nice-looking Christian-abiding white women.

it's where they still do lynchings

if you see them on the internet they're informing you you might be invited

They lynch bergs. Jews stay away from there.

Lynchburg Sucks!

If you enjoy neighbors who feel that how Christian you are is their business, you might like Lynchburg.

Horse Country. It's beautiful.

Lynchburg and Atlanta seems somewhat similar as it relates to the type of people...not as it relates to size, amenities, cost of living etc...

I do business up and down the east coast, and doing a transaction with somebody from Atlanta is very difficult.

They want to talk about family, church, who you know...and that old cliche of "where you went to school" means high school, is true. Same as Dallas. Because if you went to one of those fancy pants high schools, it means you are one of them.

Then, in terms of putting a deal together, an Atlanta guy never wants to be definitive...they end up beating around the bush. I always need to ask, well what is that you want...and they can never tell you.

I don't know if they think it is offensive to their "gentlemanly" ways, or what...just alot of "see what they think about this...and ask them about that..."

At least a New York guy will say i want this, and that, and can specific.

What is it like?

Fucking terrible.

Not an Arthur Treacher's for 150 miles. No hot fish and chips. No Fanta. Just a bunch of fucking rednecks and dirt farming retards.

Got any music festivals? Bluegrass/Old Time? Blues? Art galleries?

No. None of those. Not even an Arthur Treacher's.

Terrible place. Stay away.

Lynchburg has an AMAZING CAR JUNKYARD. Drive from ffx county will kill you tho.
M&M salvage is the name.
For all those that "relocated for work" you broke a cardinal rule. Sorry you had to move from one shithole to Lynchburg. Go back to Wheeling.
Real shit town is luray. The Chinese restaurant is owned by whites and the lo mein is spaghetti.
