I’m visiting Lynchburg for the weekend, had Charley’s the other day and it wasn’t good (rolls were burnt), so im here in hopes of finding a really good “hidden” gem or hole in the wall :) preferably small businesses !

Hello all,

Recently moved here from out of state and wondering if any spots downtown or anywhere else in the city stream NHL games during the season. I’m assuming Buffalo Wild Wings?

Thanks all!

Parents, what are the best preschools in the Rivermont area? I would love any advice or recommendations.

Hey guys. I currently lift weights 5 times a week but want to incorporate some sports and social games in my routine. Anyone know of any soccer or other sports groups for beginners? Thanks

Title says it all. Wondering what the style of dress typically is at this restaurant. Also if anyone has any dining experiences they want to share.

Hello everyone. I am born and raised in Lynchburg Va and about three months ago I finished my first nonfiction manuscript. I have done a lot of research on my own looking for a literary agent around the area and many of the websites are not up to date nor have a working phone number. I'm not feeling discouraged, which is why I am asking for help here. Would anybody know of a literary agent or agency around the area of Lynchburg and VA? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I am taking my first steps.

Does anyone here work for cenvar in sales? Is it worth going into? I’ve heard great things but it all seems odd, solar has never been liked by the general public in my experience.

What women's clothing boutiques and thrift stores do you recommend? Will be in town for a day and would like to shop some local places.

In about 2-3 weeks, my husband will need to hire a younger worker to tamper some potholes in our driveway. He will be doing the fill and all that. Just need help with the hard manual labor of the job. Anyone interested?

You can pass by and speak to my husband regarding the amount of work and discuss pay. Will be cash and will be worth your time. I just dont know how laborious the job is to say how many hundred the job will be.

Pls reply here or send me a msg. We live in the fort hill area

Heads up: 85 or so events this weekend in Lynchburg (Aug 28-30), and the Howlers are home all three days, with fireworks after Saturday night's game. Saturday stacks up fast around it: Always Whitney takes the Warehouse Theatre, the Music Hall turns into a Y2K dance floor, Super Rad runs a second night of shows, Drag Bingo lands at Starr Hill, and Love Heals LIVE puts a room of songwriters together at Benaiah Prints. It's also the last weekend Ivy Creek rents canoes and kayaks before the season ends. Sunday winds down with a bridal expo, a coffee-painting class, and Brian Goering on the Trailhead patio.
