busy week!
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks at work! The editors held an excellent FOIA/watchdog journalism workshop yesterday. Great momentum in the newsroom.
I’ve also started to half-heartedly embrace technologies I’ve long resisted, including the dreaded Twitter. I am using Twitter to follow tweets from Lynchburg’s colleges, business, organizations and prominent Lynchburgians. I myself rarely “Tweet.” I believe Twitter, in moderation, does have some use for journalists, but the jury is still out on how big of a time-waster it is.
This story is big news for Liberty and the city of Lynchburg.

Liberty University announced the purchase of Candlers Station shopping center for $16.3 million on Wednesday, an investment that Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said sets the stage for future campus growth.
“Someday, when that center becomes no longer financially viable, it will be an excellent place for our campus to expand,” Falwell said during student convocation Wednesday morning.
For now, Candlers Station — a 270,000-square-foot property located adjacent to Liberty across Candlers Mountain Road — will remain a shopping center. Current tenants include Cinemark Movies 10, Staples and T.J. Maxx.
