Review of Lynchburg, Virginia


Lynchburg Sucks
Star Rating - 8/22/2021
Lynchburg, VA, absolutely SUCKS. I'm a native Lynchburger. I moved away when I was 5 & came back when I was 13. These people can't drive to save their lives. They don't even know how to use a round about. There's next to nothing for adults to do. Most things are geared for kids & college students. The people *tend to be* very conservative, very "Christian", narrow minded, clique-ish, arrogant, ignorant, unwelcoming, & self righteous. If you don't grow up w/ them, they the don't want you. I have no friends here. It's rare to see people from different ethnic, religious, & financial backgrounds together in public, interacting by choice. These people act very entitled. They're not as friendly as they try to make themselves out to be. Don't let them fool you. Traffic is a disaster when college students are here. As soon as I can, I'm leaving & not looking back. I HATE this place. It's boring, depressing, & a dead end.

I could not agree with you more! Spot on target! Our family of six moved to Lynchburg from Northern VA in 2006. My experience in Lynchburg has been exactly like yours. I’ve been able to find a few good friends here, but your description was 100% accurate!

I am sorry you have been unhappy while living in Lynchburg. I hope you find happiness if you move away, or if you have moved away. I know where we live does sometimes contribute to how we feel inside. I wish you had been able to make friends here. Most people I know absolutely love it here once they move here and are able to make a fantastic life for themselves, but some have not. Again, sorry for your troubles. Good luck to you.
