I'm pretty sure it's the surname of the guy that founded the city.

How did you know? SS is the bomb.

I only go there to house sit with my girlfriend and I really like Takoma Park for the coop.

The guy who founded Lynchburg was John Lynch, brother of Charles Lynch, who was the JP after whom the term "lynching" was coined. Same family. However, when Charles Lynch was lynching people it was in the late 1780s for allegedly being British loyalists. Also, it didn't involve hangings so much as whippings, seizure of assets, and military conscription. The term was in use for several decades before it came to mean "hanging black people."

Wasn't calling this commonwealth hellhole home. God forbid if u mod car and drive it in VA. Awesome history lesson. Cops are crucial on anyone with mods on a car but if u got 89 ford pickup and are at wal-mart with your tags as farm use u good to go as long as u missin some teeth to go along with.. VA far from home to me.. Now ppl who love miatas as much as me that may be home.. Wheres falls church??

I only did a 6 month tour in VA. I'll be in TX a loooooong time though. There should really be a poll to see who has more, VA or TX... I'll bet TX has the most overall, but VA will definitely win in members per square mile.
