Downtown Pizza

Filed under All Secrets, Downtown Lynchburg
Downtown Lynchburg is becoming the first area I choose to go to when going out to eat. It is exciting to continually see the new restaurants and shops coming to the area. On Wednesday, I ate out for lunch and tried Downtown Pizza, which is on Main Street next to Baby B’s.
Going in, you have Bob Marley playing, which gives you an automatic relaxed feeling. We ordered the pesto pizza, and it was the best I have had in a while. The crust is out standing. When complimenting them about how good it was, they mentioned that they put a lot of work into perfecting it.
In addition to the great whole pizzas you can get, they have lunch specials, which offer one or two slices and a drink for a very reasonable price.
For anyone wanting pizza, I recommend Downtown Pizza.
Eric with Hunter Financial Mentoring

Filed under Businesses, Guest Contributors
Hunter Financial Mentoring was started by Eric Hunter. After graduating from the Virginia Military Institute with an Economics and Business degree and a Concentration in Financial Management, he went to work for one of the “Big Four” accounting firms.
With the heart of a teacher, and a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others, he knew there was something more out there. He would often ask: “Why do people spend their money on that?” and “Why do people not invest more of their money?” He decided to ask himself, “How could I make a difference?” With a constant nagging at his heart, he knew that there was something bigger out there for him, something that would help individuals, families, and future generations. He knew that he could make a difference by starting a mentoring company that focused on finances.
Once he came up with the idea of Hunter Financial Mentoring, Eric Hunter attended and completed Dave Ramsey’s Counselor Training. He has built this company on faith, and it will continue to prosper through the grace of God.
Hunter Financial Mentoring specializes in helping individuals and couples become financially organized by working with them on anything from budgeting and debt reduction to wealth building.
Hunter Financial Mentoring also offers a range of workshops that can be offered to companies, organizations, churches, and schools. They focus on changing our view towards personal finances and how to become better leaders. Through mentoring, workshops, and speaking engagements, Hunter Financial Mentoring is trying to change the way our society views personal finances.

Bellydancers… in Lynchburg?
December 1, 2009 by Jen
Filed under All Secrets
Folks are often shocked when they hear about Lynchburg Tribal, a group of bellydancers in and around Lynchburg.
Nancy McAndrew, a Lynchburg native, has been teaching bellydance at MindBody Studio on Rivermont Avenue since 2003. Her students have ranged from high school girls to retirees.Their performing group, Lynchburg Tribal, has danced at events for Rebec Vineyard, Lynch’s Landing, Bull Branch, Starlight Cafe, art shows, and roller derby bouts, as well as private events and parties.
For the past three years as part of the city’s Kaleidoscope Festival Lynchburg Tribal has hosted a bellydance showcase, called a “hafla,” featuring regional dancers which has drawn significant crowds.
Classes are hosted at MindBody Studio, through Parks & Recreation, as well as at the Jamerson YMCA, Superkicks in Forest, and beginning in Feb 2010 through the Campbell County Recreation dept.
“Bellydance is a fantastic way for women to get exercise in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. In an all-woman class there is no need for self consciousness about our bodies. The dance is gentle enough to not leave you worn-out or exhausted, but vigorous enough that you can feel the difference in your energy level, core strength, and general flexibility. And did I mention it is fun?” – Nancy McAndrew
A typical class begins with stretching and breathing exercises which move into dance drills for the arms, upper body, and/or hips. Bellydance is focused on isolating one part of the body while keeping other parts still.
“It can be harder than it looks, but with practice, anyone can develop the muscle control to do it.”

The Briar Patch near Sweet Briar

By Alex Mebane, Young Professionals of Central Virginia Young, Single & Angry divx
If you happen to find yourself in Sweet Briar’s neck of the woods, a great spot to grab a bite to eat is The Briar Patch Restaurant in Amherst. The Briar Patch opens at 11am for lunch and stays open through dinner.
Whether it is SBC faculty with their family, locals, or friends just hanging out, there is always a full dining room. It has a cozy, family style atmosphere, and you will notice that most of the diners know everyone that comes through the door. If they haven’t met you, chances are you may find them smiling and saying hello to you or even formally introducing themselves.
My favorite appetizer from “The Patch” is their hush puppies with melting butter and honey. They are seriously some of the best hush puppies I have ever had and even though they can be split with a few people, I prefer to get my own order because they are THAT good.
This decidedly Southern restaurant truly embraces its roots and serves traditional, authentic southern dishes. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the staff is very accommodating. I have gone in groups of 15 to 20 for a birthday dinner, as well as with one or two friends. The staff is friendly, very attentive, and though they don’t take reservations for small parties, the wait is never long.
If you are headed North on 29 to Charlottesville or are just looking for a new restaurant to try, The Briar Patch is a must.

Jazz + Folk Rock = Paul Brunett

Filed under News and Events
Having shared the stage with such names as Kansas, The Temptations and The Ragamuffin Band, to name a few, Paul’s music is just as widely diverse and broadly accepted, as it is familiarly personal.
From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you can definitely hear a progressive, percussive, soulful blend of jazz and folk in his music.
Open Season divx “This Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist, with his soulful voice, and intense and rousing guitar playing, has a unique sound that is all his own.” Pam Windsor News Channel 13, ABC
“Paul’s music is honest, intimate, and completely relative to everyday life.” Nanci Dodson – Kelly’s Music, Virginia Beach, VA
“Brunett sings sweet tunes about relationships.” Jon Busdeker The News and Advance
