Outdoorsy funs!

Probs a 10-minute drive. Winding, sandy trails on 40-plus acres. Lots of loops so it can be a quick thing or lots of mileage on a long day out. The dune-like hill in the middle is worth exploring, too!

Flat, easy walk to get here. Cool to see up close and wander. Look back West and try to spot the condo! Third balcony from the right. Take the path along the river back to the sixth street bridge for a cool vantage view of downtown.

Good eats! Craft beer!

Okay. If you want to hang outside and have the most incredible vibe in two seconds’ walking distance, go here. Ask to hang in the beer garden (open seating, order at the outdoor bar). They have heaters and cool fire tables. Great pizza, burgers and of course, beer! Totally Insta approved (omg did I just say that lolol)

Dive bars

Cheap drinks and smells like dirty rags lol. Looks like it’s just called Bar but there’s an anchor before it, so it’s actually called Anchor Bar. Empty early or packed late, very dark, quick service usually, anddd they’ve got the juke box running and no cover.

Fun for dancing, I hear. But still a bit of a dive bar. Unbelievably, I’ve not been here yet despite an obsession with dancing.
