Hey, new to town— does anyone know of long course pools in town, for long distance lap swimming?

I know LU has a long course pool but I can’t find info about public access. I’m a YMCA member but seems that the local Y’s only have short course.

Any tips are appreciated!

I just moved to Lynchburg and I need some help paying my rent ... Long story but a lot has happened to me in the past week and I need some resources does anyone know who can help me???

the trading post by trader ranch downtown has karaoke on wednesdays & line dancing on thursday. i wanna go out more but social anxiety is killer🥲, anyone wanna go?

So this is a long shot, but my wife recently lost her last living family member, her mother, and she's obviously taking that very hard. She doesn't have anyone to spend the holidays with as she doesn't have any family or anything like that left and I'm wondering if there is maybe some way she can share her Thanksgiving and Christmas with somebody who might not have anybody else either?

I remember a long time ago in Lynchburg there was this program where elderly people who didn't have family that came around during the holidays would have people come over, I don't know if something like that exists anymore.

Any insight is appreciated

Does anyone know where to keep an eye out for local rock/metal shows within a couple hours drive? I try to keep an eye out for them but often don’t find anything about them until it’s too late.

Hey Reddit,

I’m considering a job opportunity in Lynchburg, VA, and would love some insights from people familiar with the area. My family and I are African American, and one of my main concerns is making sure we find a community where we can live peacefully and feel comfortable. I want my family to have good relationships and experiences without feeling like we constantly need to worry about our race.

One of my kids will be starting high school next year, and I’m looking into E.C. Glass High School as a potential option. My younger child will be in elementary school in a few years, so a family-friendly environment with good schools is essential.

For those who live in or know Lynchburg well, especially other AA families: How welcoming is the community? Are there any specific neighborhoods or schools you’d recommend? Any advice on what to expect would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

My insurance company initially covered close to $4,000 in costs going to orthovirginia and are now wanting to get additional documentation on my original injury. Why orthovirginia technically charged $4,000 with insurance plan discounts they were really paid closer to $1200.

If my insurance company becomes to much of a hassle has anyone had any success negotiating a lower lump sum payment to them directly?

Today we went out to the Trump pop-up shop at the corner of Timberlake/Leesville for a story and found out Republican campaign signs had been vandalized overnight. Some of the signs were spray-painted with X's over the names of candidates from multiple races, from City Council candidate signs to congress race signs to Trump signs. "Racist Pig" was written on one Trump sign.

Here's what we know so far: https://wset.com/news/local/republican-campaign-signs-vandalized-in-lynchburg-police-investigating-election-day-tension-central-virginia-november-2024

Hi folks,

looking for any recommendation for home remodel contractors in the area and the Roanoke area?

Anyone on here live at the Wayne apartment complex? If so, what’s it like? I’ve always been fascinated by it. My parents are convinced the it will turn in a “slum”. I’m not so sure. Love your honest opinion on life there. Just out of curiosity.

Just moved to the area, any good sports bars for games? Trying to catch the World Series in a sports bar environment

I’m not originally from Lynchburg, but I spent the last few years there and am very fond of the city. I am proud to have been a part of Lynchburg the last few years. I have a lot of Lynchburg clothes and hats, etc., and I wear my Lynchburg gear frequently. Probably most days I have a shirt or hat on from Lynchburg haha. But in my new city, a lot of people give me funny looks and STARE at my shirt or hat. There’s been times where I’ve felt a little uncomfortable about people staring…but then I’m like….its a real city and a real nice place lol. Can anyone relate?

Guys, my daughter takes Halloween VERY seriously. Anyone know of neighborhoods that give out good candy/big candy bars?

i have no friends here. i can’t leave this city because of certain life circumstances. i was wondering how many other people might feel this way and might want to get in touch? it feels so isolating living here and i can’t get out too much (health issues). i’d just love having other people in their 20s/30s to spend time with.

I lived here before covid and loved the city, had a child with a girl and decided I wanted to come home, now I realize none of the pay around here has gone up where as all my friends in iowa make more than I can out here even though it costs far less to live there. I've been trying to find any reason to keep my family here but Friday morning our car was stolen from the apartment complex parking lot, a complex we pay 1200 a month for and they can't even put up cameras. You all have let this town go to shit

I moved into the area a year ago to be closer to my brother and nephews. After a year, I really don't know anyone. I commute over an hour away for work so all of my work acquaintances are out of town. Looking to meet some new people and I love reading. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you, neighbors.

Look, I know that the place had its problems, but it was the only place in town that fit the definition of a club, and I miss it. Does anyone else know anywhere that could be a good replacement now that it closed down? I’m looking for a bar that has good drinks, music, and dancing.

My furnace had a part go out late last spring and i put off repairing it. I can get the part to repaire the furnace but i worry that it might be a fire hazard, is there someone reliable that can check it over and educate me about my furnace. It's an old honeywell oil pump furnace, the light sensor went out on it, i can fix it but i don't know if i should turn it on. I'm pretty sure it's the original furnace from 1965 but i don't know if or when it was last serviced or by whom. Any information could help, thankyou.

How is everyone feeling about safety during voting and the days after?

Hi all. Hoping to get a few answers here. Just got back from three days in Lynchburg checking out the area for a possible relocation there. Spent 2 days in VB, 2 days in Richmond, 3 in Lynchburg and the last night in Roanoke since we left out of that airport. Every place we visited most people were very nice and kind. My daughter went out there and fell in love with Lynchburg and will be moving there and I will follow which is why I went. Hoping to get a few answers though before doing so. First, I did notice that there was a very different "undercurrent" feeling in Lynchburg vs. other areas and what I am used to. Second, my youngest adult son is very unwell, and I believe a move would be very helpful in getting him the help he needs since laws are different there for the mentally ill vs. where we are now (Ca.). I made it a point to go and talk to some people at Horizon. The lady I spoke to was so very nice and kind and took questions I had that she could not answer and sent to her supervisor. I have also made calls before visiting to ask questions which the people I talked to were helpful again on the phone but again, for questions they could not answer deferred to a supervisor (again with no return calls). I am wondering if the lack of response is due to the area just not wanting to "deal" with someone with mental illness or ? My biggest fear is giving up everything here and moving there and there is no help (but there is truly NO help here). My son has schizophrenia. He is very kind but also very unwell. I already know I will need to get guardianship and will since I have had conservatorship here which is the same just a different name. I guess what I need to know is if there is TRULY help there in the event that he needs hospitalization, etc. The barrier to him getting help is that he also has what is called anosognosia which is common in those with mental illness, and it is where they truly do not think they need medication or have anything wrong with them. I am also afraid that we will stick out like a sore thumb there which makes me sad. It is noticable that he is a bit different. I am scared to make a move since I can't unring that bell when its done and go back but I am even more scared of there being really no help there.....I am hoping someone might have some answers for me. I appreciate you all for reading and would be so very grateful for any advice in advance. Thank you.

My buddies Yamaha R1 was stolen tonight in Richland Hills around 8pm. If anyone who lives over that way could keep an eye out. Thanks

bru i'm so annoyed constantly applying to jobs and never hearing back, or getting an interview and never hearing back. i'm starting to get pissed off cuz like why do you say hiring but then not have the decency to reach out?? r there any part jobs hiring that seem somewhat reliable ...

Hello! I have read a lot of reviews about brownstone property management. Does anybody have any experience with them?

I’m sorry for all of the questions, but I cannot find a decent property management company, or a decent place to live that doesn’t have paper, thin walls, bugs, or other bizarre issues.

Hey does anyone know who I can contact to get the pot holes filled in at the Lynchburg comprehensive also what number do I call to keep people out of the no parking anytime areas. I ask because these drivers uber/lyft say they're allowed to park there in the way of the flowing traffic at the center

Anyone know of any of the Redbox kiosks in the Lynchburg area that are being scrapped? I'd like to get one.
