Radford

A modest independent city in Virginia, founded in 1887, with a compact centre holding cafés, restaurants, and historic churches, and sitting directly on the water with the mountains close by. Radford University anchors the town, and the city is part of the broader Blacksburg–Christiansburg metropolitan area.
