Right up the road from an AirBnB Host, this little family owned bar and restaurant has home cooked meals and a friendly staff. You'll find country folks who work hard and enjoy good friendships sitting at the bar or in the dining area casually talking about the past, present and sometimes even the future.

If you have children and are out in the area by the Ford Center, limited funds, or just regular bookworms, a local favorite is Central library. The Central Library has a ship for little wanderers to climb on when parents need a few minutes to sit and unwind. No children? Well that's okay too, the multilevel library has books that can answer almost any of life's questions. In the main hall you can look up and see the whimsical artwork hanging. You'll also find the staff helpful in finding what you are searching for. Reading - go do it.
