Beth S.January 19, 2012SO many great eateries and shops here. Do yourself a favor & don't go if you're in a hurry...or already full! :)
I love what they've done with the place! You should have seen it before the remodel. What a dump it was!

Lots of places to eat & a nice farmer's market on Sundays. No wifi or power outlets, though.
