My favorite local, green, eatery. Everything is locally sourced, so many vegetarian options - but don't worry, they serve meat too! Also smoothies, juices, and waffle cone everything.

Good local joint, at night they have special multi-course meals you need to make a reservation for. New Dehl Cafe next door will also serve Mildred's food, and it's a little less pricey.

Lovely wetlands park. Lots of birds! It's the best place to catch a breeze in the Swamp. Go early before it gets hot, there is not a lot of tree cover. I think parking is $5.

Celebration point has a nice new movie theater (reserve tickets in advance, has those nice seats and it feels like you are at home watching on a giant screen), a pizza place (Midici's), and a chocolate/desert shop (Kilwin's), not much else there, but sometimes there is live music in the square. It's a good date night spot. Very pretty area.

Live music at Bo Diddly square, usually on Friday nights. It's also the site of a Wednesday afternoon farmer's market, and if there is a parade or arts festival, it's usually around this area downtown.
