yes, there are. you'd be better off getting L-burg info in the Roanoke area sub-forum here.

I went to Liberty University for a year. In general Lynchburg is a pretty conservative, decent place but downtown Lynchburg is pretty violent.

Downtown L violent?? Since when? Some would call it a little dead but hardly violent. Now in the hood just south of downtown there are some problems. I've been downtown L many times at night and never saw anything scary. I just returned from 3 nights at the new Craddock Terry Hotel downtown. Very nice.

Get your reservations early because it will sell out. Unless you consider "The Living Christmas Tree" arts and entertainment you will be stressed with boredom. You must go to Roanoke if you want to be around people that won't ask you what church you belong too. College kids rampage all up and down the main drag from Liberty University. Oh, they destroyed and mountain range here to put their initials on it. What a joke! "LU" Big woop! Abandonship!

You keep posting this "non-info." There IS a symphony in Lynchburg!! And you still haven't answering my question about what you consider the word "rampage" means!!

I have heard them debating religion at the Wards Rd Starbucks. Other than that LU kids seem pretty typical college kids.

abandonship has good marks in cut and paste, but received failing grades in credibility.

There is no freedom of speech here. Don't listen to these people. If you tell the truth they will gang up on you and get you blacklisted.oh do you all feel so powerful now!

I lived downtown (Church St.) for 6 years and never had any problems with crime of any type. Most of the violent crime is directed towards people involved in criminal activity or has a domestic involvement with the perpetrator; muggings, rapes have been rare in the Lynchburg area, but practically non-existent downtown.
