Only 8 miles from the Bicycle Man shop.

Their motto is "clean cozy rooms." Customers say it is nice and clean

Less than 1 mile from The
Bicycle Man shop.
It is an older motel being remodeled with some success. Customers who
have stayed there have given us mixed reviews on their experience. Cost
is $45 and up single, $55 and up double.
Because it is on the ShortLine Bus route, (see bus info above) it is a
good place to stay if you will arrive by bus. The Bicycle Man shop is
also on the bus route. I can loan you a bike to get to/from the bike
shop while you are in town.

The
Collegiate |
|
|
|
A fine
local diner operated for three generations by the Ninos family. From
fish to chicken they have what you would expect from a good diner. Try
their Rueben sandwich or Greek salads for a pleasant surprise. Their
prices and portions are a pleasant surprise too. And check out the
menus, each has a different, original piece of art on the cover. (Our
family’s favorite) |
|
|
|

Nana’s Japanese Café |
|
Locally popular unique oriental restaurant. |
|
|
|
Café
Za |
|
|
|
An
international menu of fine dining is served at this popular local restaurant. From curried chicken to flavorful
Tofu (really!) Some of our customers arrange their visits around the
Za’s schedule. (My favorite.) |
