But this is a pouplar and wonderful town to live in. The deer wander thru town eating your flowers. It is a bird watchers paradise also. For a real "home town" feel, this is a good spot.

Recreation Trail runs from the Aquarium to the north. In the spring time the purple ice plant is in bloom and is stunning.
