Didn't have enough time to properly see everything, but it was worth the short break from I-81 driving. You can do the whole downtown in about an hour. And don't forget to go downstairs for the hot dogs!

Super neat place! And easy on the budget. And the food is good. The town resembles the small towns in the movies, with a lot to offer.

[William, 04/12/2013]The sign on the side of the Skeeter's building, which for years bragged, "Over 6 Million Sold," has had the 6 crossed out and replaced with a 9. On the sidewalk outside is a historical marker noting that future First Lady Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born upstairs.
