The Lynchburg nightlife or “afterdark entertainment,” (as the newspaper de- scribes it), leaves much to be desired. Wayne Fanning encourages hot spots like “Charlie’s” or “T.C.

We usually find our- selves wandering the roads of Lynchburg with one eye peeled for police car 55 or one of his accomplices.

From there we may go “loiter” in “Stop In’s” parking lots, hang out on Irvington Springs Road, or toast our hands by a bonfire at Camp Sacajawea. About once a month, Lynchburg goes through the traumatic experience of a high school party. These parties are so few and far between that when they happen, hordes of people turn out — including the police to tell everyone good-bye. For a good 2 hours the social event rocks, but the police clear the people, leaving the grounds a field of Old Milwaukee cans. Weekends 25
