Lynchburg without the stranglehold of the Falwells

1. Family from very near there. We passed right by it on 460 going to Roanoke.

The family I have from near there knew Jerry from school.

The amount of expansion has been amazing. First were the apartments across 460. Then the ski slope and domed admin building overlooking from the hilltop. In the midst of it they were buying everything they could get their hands on from what I understand. When God came and took Jerry he was insured up to his eyeballs. They paid off all their debt (plus the papermill online was getting cranked up) and THEN they really started expanding. The newest are what I’m guessing is a field house and dorms that literally block out the horizon. Oh, and my favorite, the tower. Funny I made phallic jokes but my wife called it “the rocket to Heaven”. That cracked me up.

My family there were not at all fans of Jerry.

Thomas Road and Liberty still will have a lot of pull I would suspect but it could be different. As I’ve posted here before - I run into Liberty grads all over the place and I’ve met exactly one who is good at their job and a nice person. One.
