There are several types of wildlife which live in and around Lynchburg, and it is quite common to see deer or bear downtown.
Just enough to do without getting bored, without the big city feel! Good restaurants, lots to do outdoor, and plenty of younger people. Great place to raise a family and a great Christian community. Lots of wonderful churches.
Lynchburg has a lot of crime which I think the police department needs help with. Overall the city is a wonderful place with a lot of history. The Lynchburg
nightlife is very minimal however the downtown nightlife is great. A lot of restaurants to choose from however a lot of chain restaurants are the choices. Lynchburg is a place where it seems like there is nothing to do but there is it's just in hiding places around town. This town has a small-town feel to it and people that live here don't have fast lives like the city folk. Out here you have nice prices for rent and nice schools to attend. The housing market is very nice and has a very wide range of prices. If you plan to go to college here there is three of them: Randolph Collage, University of Lynchburg, and Liberty University. Plenty of healthcare choices. The mall has recently been renovated and has been very nice to visit. It seems like it is always busy and more and more businesses have been moving into the empty spaces.
