Neighborhoods in Lynchburg VA

[oldhouses]

Beautiful pix taken with the leaves down to give good views of the properties.

1. 605 Clay St. part of St. Paul's Episcopal Church

2. These do look like the brick row houses in Daniel's Hill Historic District as someone mentioned.

3. The General Early building. Once a single family and now apts. Garland Hill Historic District on Harrison at the corner of 2nd. I believe the address is 190 Harrison.

4. Washington St. in Diamond Hill as someone already said. I think in the 400 block. A magnificent house on an amazing double lot.

Lots of beautiful homes on Madison St. and Washington St. as well as the other historic districts.

(My head is spinning here) Bible thumpers and guys in rebel flag t-shirts……the atmosphere is so, very wrong.

That things come cheap in Lynchburg does not benefit me at all, I make a Lynchburg salary.

I nice modern work place with creative, smart and funny co-workers . A chance to travel, ski trips and restaurant visits from the boss, tickets to major sports events.
But no, I have to live in Lynchburg.
I have a wife and kids so THAT takes up a lot of my time. But I am not a corpse either.
But I have already said these things, right?

Lol! We live downtown Orlando , have gone on lots of trips all over the place and make decent money, yet all I want is those things you don't seem to care for. I hate shopping, I don't want to go to bars, I don't want too many people around at all if it was up to me. I like to go to church and bake my own bread, and we don't go to restaurants very often at all. We are thinking about buying farm near Lynchburg.
I am just concerned if the people are nice there.

I'd say people are very nice. My biggest problem in town has been getting service people to call me back when I want some work done. You would think with a slow economy they would be seeking out cash paying customers. My experience has been you have to call several times to get their attention. I just had a run-in with a local home improvement firm. I had to call 3 times to get a $1600 job done.

Ah: so it's not just me. In the Fall I called a company about my gutters three times, and when the second company didn't respond either, I decided to wait until Spring and now I'm going through it again.

They need a bit more than cleaned out: they need _properly_ re-hung and sealed, I need new downspouts and I want to put some leaf guards on them, so if you have experience with that send me a p.m. with your info and references and we can talk!
