Great area with lots of local shops to choose from! Love the outdoor seating in the plaza and the lack of cars - makes for a very pleasant shopping experience. Favorite stops include Brick & Vine and The Peanut Shop!

Beautiful inside. The place wasn't open tho. With the impending storm I can understand. Nice chess board.
