Looking for mechanic/auto shop & possibly window tint for 2002 Toyota Corolla

Hey ya'll!

I'm moving back to VA after living in Las Vegas for the last 20+ years. My beloved 2002 Corolla has always been in the desert so she's in good shape for her age. She's only ever needed routine maintenance. Anyhoo, I'm looking for recommendations for a shop that won't try to upsell me on a bunch of extra crap and will respect my old lady. Right now she needs an oil change, fluids, and a state inspection so I can transfer my registration to VA.

Also, I'm looking to get my window tint redone. I don't believe it's too dark for VA, but it needs to be redone because it's also old.

Doing Election Research - Misjuns Councilman page is brand new?

So I was doing some research into the candidates for my ward, and looking at the candidates in the others and comparing notes and talking points. I consider myself an independent and like to be informed on as much sides of the political coin as I can be.

When I got to Misjuns to see his Councilman page, it's brand new? I know this shouldn't be the case as I check in on the Council pages fairly regularly. But on the Page Transparency tab, it says created 10/01. And I thought "odd??" So I went into Living in Lynchburg to see if I could find some old comments (I appreciate he's active in there, whether I agree with his activity or not) only to find nothing? I know he's posted there under his page, but all I can find is one comment on a post less than 24 hours old. (it's the one about can you keep a horse at your house.)

So, as a voter, I'm perturbed. He had been posting regarding various candidates, and about the state/future of Lynchburg. Was he hacked? Or did he scorch-earth and start over? That's a lot of past political statements (including one about changing Virginia to be a party-registration state) lost.

Coffee with a stranger again

Hi all. It’s a low key day and I was considering hitting a coffee shop to do some work in my computer. Would anyone care to have coffee with a stranger? It’s on me. I don’t so much care which coffee shop today.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to convert you, kill you, steal you, nor anything else the internet crazies are fantasizing about. It’s just free coffee and conversation if you would like. Hence, meeting in a public place.

Election Material?

We recently moved to Lynchburg from a different state and hoping to find unbiased information about local candidates. Previous state would have voter guides with all the candidates information such as previous history, statements, relevant experience and education, etc.

Any chance there is something similar here or is it all self done via biased sites? Or even worse, straight party line voting because fuck informed decisions and all?

Ward I… y’all okay?

I’m typically not in the Rivermont/Boonsboro area but was there for the 10 miler. The campaign signs seem to be super aggressive. Y’all alright?

Contractors that replace rotting deck posts?

Hello everyone,

My folks have several posts/columns under their porch that are rotting at the base, so they're looking for a contractor to possibly replace the posts, and so far they haven't had much luck finding anyone who can do that kind of work. Did a bit of a Google search myself and I couldn't find anything definitive, so does anyone here have recommendations for contractors in the Lynchburg/Forest/Bedford area that work on that kind of thing? I will mention these columns/posts are the length of two stories and help support an overhanging roof as well.

Random shitpost - the brain works in weird ways

Every time I see a sign for Candlers Mountain, I can't help but think of Charlie the Unicorn.

Chances of losing power in Rivermont tonight

I can see the storm getting worse into the night and wonder if we may lose power. I know the last time I lost power was for over 7hrs on a Friday earlier in the Summer.

I know others were impacted too so I’m just going to gear up for it just in case.

Stay safe everyone!

YMCA downtown

I joined the downtown YMCA and really love it. Great classes. Spartacus kicks my ass weekly! Body pump is a favorite. I do Deep water HIIT when I need a lighter class. What classes do you like at the Y that I should check out?

What keeps you here?

22F moved here from Chicago. Loneliest I’ve ever been is living in this town. I find it very hard to connect with people (autism definitely plays a factor). I hear so many people complain about this town. Genuinely would love to hear the reasons ya’ll stay here, what you enjoy here, etc.

Jury Duty for Liberty Students.....

Hello! So I just have a simple question for the residents of Lynchburg. So I go to LU and I vote here during elections. I don't think I am a citizen of the city because I don't pay taxes here, I pay them back home. I got a letter saying that I may be selected for Jury duty in 2025 but I wouldn't be here since I will graduate in May. Would I still be summoned for jury duty if I were not a resident but just a college student who votes in the city?

Poker game

Me and my wife moved to Lynchburg a little over a year ago. I’m 30 she’s 24. Have two children, one 6 weeks and one 3, live in a beautiful apartment complex recently built in the last 5 years off timberlake. I have some co workers who play but we need at least 6 or 9 players, anyone interested? If I have enough players I’ll invest in a used poker table and host a weekly game. Or if anyone who plays is looking for new players please let me know! Thank you 🙏

PCP Recs

Hello! I am originally from VA and will soon be moving back for several months. I am a 21 year old female and upon outgrowing a pediatrician a few years ago, am in search of a PCP in southwest or central VA.

I would probably prefer a female doctor just because of a few sensitive health concerns that I would want to be fully transparent about, but I am open to going to a male doctor if anyone has recommendations!

I was diagnosed with ADHD while I lived in VA and take medication, so a doctor who deals with medication management would be a plus.

Feel free to include doctors who are not currently accepting new patients!

Ward I Candidate Property Ownership

I did some research because I was curious. Details are below. All information from https://mapviewer.lynchburgva.gov/parcelviewer/?lrsn=22662

Timmer:

  • Property Address: 615 Riverside Dr
  • Riverside Neighborhood, Detached Single Family Home
  • Purchased 5/13/2022 for $201k, currently assessed at 159k for 2024 tax year
  • Participant in Rehab Program: NO

Smith:

  • Property Address: 1428 Northwood Circle
  • Gorman Dr / Greenway Ct Area, Detached Single Family Home
  • Purchased 8/13/2018 for $120k, currently assessed at 370k for 2024 tax year
  • Participant in Rehab Program: YES (Took a property aged 50 years or older and increased value by 40% or more)

Howe:

  • Property Address: 2413 Mimosa Dr
  • Bedford Hills Neighborhood, Detached Single Family Home
  • Purchased 5/30/2012 for $140k, currently assessed at 254k for 2024 tax year
  • Participant in Rehab Program: NO

I do think it is concerning that Timmer has been in Ward I for only 2 years and is already making a run at city council. I admire Smith for significantly improving a dilapidated property. The historical photos on google street view are a testament to his work. Also, the fact that Howe's property is blurred on google street view is peculiar. I am not sure why she went through the trouble to request this as there is an image easily viewable via the Lynchburg GIS website (linked above).
