The Small Town Life 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I think that visiting the city of Lexington, Nebraska is an exciting experience. It is interesting that the population is very different than the rest of Nebraska. Most of the race in this city is of the hispanic decent. This is a smaller town to raise a family in.

I find it i ...Read More nteresting that a lot of Lexington, Nebraska is made up of residential districts. This is a great place to raise a family, and most of the population are young families that are raising or starting a family. All of the nightly entertainment is very local and if you want a lot of fun nightlife then you must go to a bigger city.

Shopping is very local and very small town. Most of the people that live in the city of Lexington, Nebraska travel to bigger towns that are close to do their shopping. When it comes to resturaunts , they are also local. Most of the people in this town travel for work ,fun, and great food. Read Less
