Cute vintage little downtown strip, with cafes, boutiques and antique shops. We couldn't help but stop at each plaque and be amazed at the jump length.
[Natali M, 02/14/2021]Cute little downtown feel. Homemade gift shops, coffee/wine bar and antique shops. Town still has vintage theater, which is nice to see they do still exist.
