If indeed LU owns it, what would be the best use for that spot, a park, or the "Liberty Light"--kind of Lynchburgs answer to the Roanoke Star?

A big Rogaine Billboard would be awesome
"Don't Let yourself end up like this!"

the PAmedic memorial multi-denominational temple/synagogue/shrine/mosque.

complete w/ red, white and blue exterior floodlights, and a 9 story portrait of me like Saddam Hussein used to have on the sides of buildings.

something understated like that.

[Libertine]

Um, it's actually a Semi-Green Spot now. The very top is still bare but the undergrowth is taking it back over.

[Hold My Own]

anyone been up to Pittsburgh and taken a ride on that little trolley thing that goes up that step mount ion right at the 3 river's (was)....maybe PA knows what I'm talking about and can post a pic....but that would be a really cool idea

I can't even remember if it was Richmond or Roanoke that a few of us flew to for a concert (friend's roomie was in aviation).

[PeterParker]

There is a gigantic shining star that sits atop the hill next to the city in a park like setting next to what I believe is the Roanoke zoo...Roanoke is considered the Star City.

if my troopers frame hadn't cracked in 2 places, itd would of been my playground...

[PAmedic]

sissy.

I took a '70 Nova w/ no intact body mounts sideways down the ravine behind David's place.

nearly rolled it, but I'm quite the skilled driver.

So has anybody deteremined if LU does own that land? I drove by it the other day, and the city had a barrier up for a couple of years preventing trucks from getting on the trail to go up there, but a construction crew has flattened it and have packed down gravel. It looks as though they might even pave it. What on earth are they doing?

[Libertine]

They're constructing a mausoleum for Jerry and AL Williams and Reber (but not Thomas).

[LUconn]

Just heard on the radio from JonF that they paved their way up to the baldspot because they've placed the cannons up there for the fireworks. Fireworks will be 50% larger this year. He then went on to say that the view is so great that they're thinking about putting a restaurant up there. That'd be cool.

[Rocketfan]

That would be cool( thats a view), i really gotta get up there to see this pavement all the way up.....or someone needs to get some pics!

[LUconn]

It's not so much paved as it is compacted gravel. But that still would eliminate the giant craters.

[mrmacphisto]

A restaurant would be nice, if they did it right, although I miss going up there at night with friends to watch shooting stars. That would still be the best use of the bald spot.

[PeterParker]

Liberty Light Memorial Park - Open to the public; take the opportunity to make an aesthetic landmark, something people who travel through central Virginia want to stop in and see, have some LU marketing materials available--they could also put a restaurant with the panoramic vistas in conjuction with this idea (if they did it right); it could be a really big draw if they allowed it to be open...more grassphalt, less asphalt.

Why not a carving:
The faces of JF, RD, Rocco, and Godwin.
