Check out my camera phone shots of the Belk in Lynchburg! The store is FINALLY getting remodeled after 25 years. 25 YEARS! I remember my parents buying my brother and I a bottle of Polo cologne at that store (when it was Leggett) in 1981. Other than the light fixtures, it's vintage all the way. The camera phone blurs with the light, but it's still a good historic thing to have. The mall cops don't pay attention to a man with a phone at a mall like River Ridge!
