Although this location is a little outside the town center, there is a gas station at the junction of 522/64, and an amazing little Mexican restaurant called Toribios. Just up Ski Valley Road (Highway 150 at that same main junction) there is a brand New Ace Hardware going in, and a fantastic local pizza joint called Pizanos. Great dining, bar, and package liquor is available at Medley restaurant and wine shop just a few yards further north of Pizanos.
