• Political signs for Lynchburg City Council candidates vandalized (wsls.com) — Political campaign signs for three Lynchburg City Council candidates, including the mayor, were slashed late Monday night near Rivermont Terrace, Rivermont Avenue, and Langhorne Road. Lynchburg police are investigating the vandalism, which could be a misdemeanor or felony depending on damage, while candidates and the local Democratic Committee condemn the behavior and urge more civil local political discourse.
• Virginia Gas Prices: Cheapest and most expensive places to fill up - Sept. 29, 2026 (wsls.com) — Lynchburg drivers are paying about $4.19 for regular gas, with mid-grade, premium, and diesel all topping $4.60 per gallon, according to AAA. The piece compares Lynchburg's prices with nearby Roanoke and New River Valley and notes statewide trends, including how refinery issues and broader oil markets could nudge prices up or down in coming days.
• Best private high schools in Virginia (insidenova.com) — A new statewide ranking of Virginia's best private high schools includes a Lynchburg campus, highlighting its small class sizes and strong academics. Families here can compare that option with top schools in Charlottesville, Richmond, Northern Virginia, and beyond, using enrollment, student–teacher ratios, and overall grades to gauge how local offerings stack up.
