There are at least three SJ's around town, but this is the largest one with the most seating. It can get crowded pretty quickly but if you can snag a seat it's a great place to read, hang out, or get some work done.

Essentials

This is my Kroger of choice b/c it's not usually the place that students go to. It also has a liquor store and gas station. The whole foods is right across the street if you need something a bit fancier.

Sightseeing

About 15-20 minutes from my house. You can tour the house and the grounds. I recommend doing both the house tour and the outside tour. A great place for history fans!
