If I could come to the downtown Lynchburg Community Market every weekend, I would. The outdoor vendors offer a variety of fresh, organic and home grown vegetables – and the indoor vendors offer both home baked goods like bread, pies, chocolates and wine, and home made goods like wooden crafts and jewelry.
If you buy goods from the inside gallery, you may do so at the payment kiosk on the far wall on the opposite side of the baked goods. The gallery also rents space for businesses like Health Nut Nutrition and a couple of restaurants.
The members of the Artist Co-Op are based on a monthly fee, hours worked in the store and amount of proceeds that go towards the market.
One business that stands out to me is ‘Chocolates R Us’ on the near side of the inside market. They have chocolate with candy bits inside that taste like coffee, orange, and many others. They also offer chocolate gifts like tool-set chocolates and other fun molds.
To get more information on the market, go to the City of Lynchburg website >

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.

Up until the 1920′s most of Lynchburg’s streets were dirt tracks.   During the rain they were seas of mud and during periods of drought everything would be covered with red dirt.
Slowly the main streets were paved.  First they were layered with sand, then covered with a base of crushed stone upon which cobbles or rough-cut stones were laid without mortar so as to absorb the excessive moisture.
