In July, the annual Summer Stroll brings the community together for a night of music while local businesses serve people from the sidewalks. Main Street shuts down traffic on Halloween night so kids can visit local businesses for candy.

Downtown along Main Street, there are locally owned businesses ranging from barbers to florists, as well as popular dining spots like My Diner for breakfast and lunch and Santa Fe Burrito Grill for Mexican food. Turner's Seafood Grill & Market serves locally sourced seafood and has a fresh fish market. There’s also Shaw’s and CVS for essentials. “You’re right next to downtown, so you have walkability to all these shops and restaurants,” says Leeman.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
