Everything Else

Small grocery and deli. Though I don't eat a lot of the things they have at the deli, I have seen the sandwiches/subs and seen people eat them and the consensus is they're amazing.

Great park to get away without going too far. You won't even believe it's in the city once you get there. Great hiking and biking trails... with casual and technical trails.

Sightseeing

A small strip of grass, trees and some sculptures along Bigelow Blvd. with a pretty awesome view, especially at sunset. A place most people pass by everyday but never actually stop.
