I went to this town for the first time and discovered a place I will certainly return to for a few reasons. It had very good food. It had wonderful sights. It looked like an interesting community as we drove through it’s many side streets. It has a great resort hotel in the Hyatt and I hear also some good bed and breakfast spots. It has friendly people. It’s easy to get to and and get around in.

It is the past struggling to move into the future. It’s the present trying to preserve its past. It’s one of the jewels of the Eastern Shore. And it seems to be a secret. Because this was a beautiful fall weekend and there were some significant events and it wasn’t crowded at all.

The Hyatt resort was a wonderful place to stay. Not that I can afford to do that regularly or for any long period of time.

There are a number of good places to eat. We choose Jimmy and Sook’s for our first meal and it was very good. Service was great and the food was very tasty.

Keep your eyes open or you might just pass an interesting alley without seeing a treasure.

I was impressed with the artistic galleries and craft stores. Make sure you pay them all a visit and find your personal treasures to take home.
