When Obama appeared in Lynchburg a dispute over parking arose when it was assumed ( you know what happens after assumption) that people could park at the Plaza. The Plaza is a run down shopping Center on Memorial Ave. next to Glass. It is owned by Liberty University and they sent their campus police to block the shopping center the night of the event. Prior permission was not obtained to park there and the Falwell's said it could violate their tax exempt status if they allowed it.
A slew of Letters to the Editor followed and it pretty much left egg on the faces of the powers that be at LU. it energized even more Obama supporters in the area and even LU students volunteer for Obama here!
