I love to read and Givens Books/Little Dickens has been one of my favorite places to purchase books in Lynchburg for many years. Get the little ones reading early, it's a treat to take them here- there 's so much to see! My girls eat books and they've purchased many from Givens over the years. Established in 1976, Givens Books (owned and operated by the Givens family) merged with Little Dickens and moved into this 16,000 sf facility in 1999. They have Virginia's largest collection of new and used books, toys and educational supplies under one roof. They are the oldest independent bookseller in Lynchburg and were voted # 1 Bookstore for 2007 by Lynchburg Living- I like that I am supporting a local business too. More than just a bookstore, Givens offers:Educational MaterialsEducational Ga...

Local farmers have been bringing their fresh grown produce up to the community market here on Saturday morning since 1783.The location and hours have changed, but the vegetable selection and neighborhood camaraderie have remained constant.Mae Evans Coleman remembers Friday nights in the late 20's, loading up her grandfaters's new Ford truck in preparation for the 4 a.m. ride to the market.  The children helped pick the vegetables the day before.  They also helped load the truck and weigh and sell produce.  The trip from hat Creek in Campbell County took her family about an hour.The merchandise consisted of whatever was in season.  There were all kinds of garden vegetables, butter, apple cider and hams, cured pork, pies and ice cream and other specialties.   By 1920 the market had moved ...

Here's the scenario: A couple looking for a home decides to ride through a neighborhood that a friend told them about.  They find an adorable home at end of the street that is for sale.  There appear to be some flyers in a box mounted to the sign, but it's raining and they really don't want to get wet.  They notice a "Property Hotline" rider above the sign with a 1-800 number listed.  From their car, they call the number and enter the property code.  The automated hotline provides them with all of the pertinent information about the home: Price, Sq ft, BR, BA, special features, contact info, and a detailed description of the house.  The couple is excited about this initial information and calls their real estate agent right away to schedule a showing.The Property Hotline not only provid...

I am so lucky to be selling houses in Lynchburg VA. April marks my 8th year and I truly love what I do. While the media likes to make it sound like Nationwide houses are not selling I am proud to say that Lynchburg Va and the surrounding counties of Bedford County, Amherst County and Campbell County have always been steady. If I am not mistaken I hard that NAR announced a 10% increase in the housing market and not a decrease! We need to keep the power of positive thinking going each day and always remember to smile and sell.. sell. sell!Thanks!Brandi Tyree, http://www.lynchburgvarealestate.com/

What did I do on this beautiful spring day in Virginia? I spent it taking the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course. For someone who's only shot a gun twice in her life, this was a learning experience. My friend and fellow realtor David Leckrone is an NRA certified instructor and I along with my broker Pat and her husband Byron enjoyed the teaching style and information David shared. He's a natural teacher and we spent the first several hours going over the basics; safety, identifying the principal parts of a handgun, types of actions, how to handle pistols in a safe manner. After taking the NRA test, we were able to shoot several handguns on the target range.  The course objective is to develop the basic knowledge, skills and attitude essential for the safe, ethical and responsible use of a...

 One of the unique places I like to visit in Lynchburg is The Old City Cemetery. Established in 1806, on land donated by John Lynch, the founder of Lynchburg, it's a beautiful, peaceful place in the heart of the city. It's been lovingly restored and over the last several years and has become a popular place with families and for field trips. Lynchburg is known as the Hill City and the rolling hills in the cemetery with its mature landscaping add to its beauty. The cobblestone road encourages you to drive slowly through. Among the museums and places of interest are the Station House Museum, Pest House Medical Museum, Chapel and a Hearse House and Caretaker's Museum, Antique Rose Garden, Lotus Pond and Butterfly Garden, Confederate Cemetery and African American Cemetery.

Did you know: twenty minor baseball leagues operate with 246 member clubs in the United States and Canada? How fortunate are we that Lynchburg is one of those locations! Lynchburg, Virgina has had a long history of professional, Minor League baseball in our community- going all the way back to 1894 with the first team to play here, the Lynchburg Hill Climbers. CLICK HERE for a history of Baseball in Lynchburg. When I moved to Virginia in 1987, the Lynchburg Red Sox were the local Carolina League farm team. I've loved baseball since I was a little kid and having the Red Sox in Lynchburg was one thing that made the seven hundred mile move away from family a bit easier. There is nothing like introducing your children to the game; bags of peanuts, stadium hot dogs, singing Take Me Out To Th...

With over 77% of home buyers using the internet to search for their next home, using the power of the internet to effectively market a home has become a "must have" for home sellers.  A good real estate professional will take the time to take pictures of the primary living areas as well as the key features of the home.  In addition to posting those pictures on the MLS listing, many real estate professionals also have their own websites which provide "virtual tours" of the home.  For those home sellers who have carefully weighed the pros & cons of using a real estate professional and have decided to sell their home "By Owner" there are several websites which provide a way to market their homes using features such as "virtual tours."  On the HomesByOwner of Lynchburg site, home sellers ca...

The New York Yankees showed a lot of class, sensitivity and humility as they visited the Virginia Tech campus this week. The team made a $1,000,000 donation to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund last year.      April 16, 2007 Virgina Tech MemorialToday, The Yankees played an exhibition game against the Virginia Tech baseball team at English Field. Several players hung out in the Tech dugout, they signed balls and shirts for students and stayed an hour after the game to sign memorabilia. I can't tell you how much this is appreciated by the students, faculty and families. It's been a tough year for the Virginia Tech family and these events do help in the healing process. As the first anniversary of the tragedy nears it's not getting easier; emotions are high and tears still flow. As a parent ...
