The Mayor of Walnut St

Tom Lynch has owned and operated Lynch's Gym at the intersection of Dunham and Walnut St for half of his life and has lived in the neighborhood for almost his entire life.
In his 80 plus years, he has amassed quite the collection of stories! From his days at the original Washington High School on Sample St, to the Marine Corp, to his time in competitive body building, and even his 13 years as a professional wrestler. Even with all of his experiences and stories that he can tell, one this is for sure, many people look up to Tom and consider him a friend, mentor, and a father figure and he pretty much amassed all of this while running a gym in the neighborhood he grew up in, in a nondescript building, on the corner of Walnut and Dunham.
I interviewed Tom right in his gym and it’s as old school as you can get - nothing but dumbbells, free weights, benches, and mirrors. You definitely won’t find any nautilus machines or a smoothie bars.
