Germaine Street
Magus Park: A beautifully sculpted park, Magus has a picnic area with grills, a playground complete with swings, a slide, a sandbox and monkey bars, and a beautiful pond bordered by weeping willows and wooden benches. Truly a relaxing spot - and a favorite of young lovers.

1. Black Rock Inn/Hotel: On the outskirts of town, the Black Rock is a modest brick building boasting various suites and single rooms for all needs. The grounds have a pool, a dining room and offer a contintental breakfast every morning. The decor is plush and comfortable, with a crackling fireplace in the lobby and dark green chairs and couches for patrons to relax on and visit with one another. There's a full bar, as well as a tennis court, to accomadate everyone's needs.

2. The Pet Supply Place: Carrying all the food and supplies you need to care for anything from a fish to a horse, The Pet Supply Place caters to every animal need. With a vetrinary clinic in the back and a grooming palror out front, they have every base covered. Family run by the Prucells, who have owned and raised livestock for seven generations, The Pet Supply Place is a large building at the end of *** street, near the residential section. It's easily recognizable by the bright red roof and the corral off to one side, which is home to one aging brown mare - and sometimes the larger animals that are visiting the vet clinic.

8. The Bookworm: Tucked into a small niche, it's easy to overlook the town's bookstore. The selection is mostly used, divided up into all the various sections one would expect in a bookstore. Romance, fantasy, mystery, fiction, non-fiction, self-help, religion, etc. Oddly enough, there's no history section. Books are piled haphazardly on the shelves, and the shelves themselves are wedged so close together it's difficult to navigate. Most often the counter is manned by an elderly woman and her college-aged counterpart, both dressed in brilliant clashing colors and often gossiping about the goings on in the town.

3. Mountain Antiques: Promoting itself as an 'antiques warehouse', Mountain Antiques is a favorite shopping spot for practically everyone. Full of knick-knacks and rare finds, the three room shop is packed to the gills with all manner of antiques. And if you see something you like, you'd better get it fast! Nothing stays there for long - save for the stuffed tiger that stands beside the counter. Legend has it, the stuffed creature has been in the owner's family for seven generations, a reminder of days long past. The owner herself is a large, buxom woman named Hattie Fellows who's always happy to haggle over her prices and always has a story to tell - usually about one of her ancestors.

4. Hal's Used Cars: Come on down to Hal's for the deal of a lifetime! Everyone knows Hal, who's as trustworthy as a used car salesman can be. While his cars may not be all he promises and you can't get the latest models, they run and he's happy to offer discount coupons to the local auto repair shop. And with no other car dealerships and Hal's seven kids to feed, folks are happy to buy their cars from his lot - plus his open ended credit policy isn't anything to sneeze at, as his signs proudly proclaim. The cars themselves range from 20 year old trucks to sports cars only five years old. If you need a car, you can get it at Hal's.

9. Lil' Tyke Toys: "Lil’ Tyke Toys" has been an institution in town for almost as long as anyone can remember-at least fifty years or so. It has changed ownership twice, but the quality of the products it sells has not changed. It stocks just about everything-from the garishly colored toys advertised on television to antique dolls that are meant to be displayed, not played with. Its most popular feature among its youngest customers, however, is the candy counter, which serves up delicious confections of all shapes and sizes to anyone with a few quarters to spare.

Bohr Street
10. Tasty Burger: In the vein of Macdonald's, Burger King and Wendy's, Tasty Burger is about as average a fast food burger joint as you can imagine. With a menu offering burgers, chicken strips, fries, onion rings, sodas and shakes, it's often packed with teenagers and families with small children. Everything is plastic, and there's a ball pit for the small children behind the dining area.

11A. Callahan's (Grocer): The only place in town for fresh meats, fresh produce and anything else you need for your dinner table. The store itself has a cozy atmosphere, the produce bins full of ripe fruits and veggies and the ailes stocked stocked with the staples of family meals. Meat is chopped to order by the friendly butcher Ryan, and the town's well-known bachelor Aaron Callahan himself works the register and sweeps up the floor, quick with an off color joke or a hand-rolled smoke for the men, a compliment for the ladies, and penny candy for the kids.

11B. Richard Smith, MD Offices: Above the grocery store, the doctor's office announces itself with a modest plaque. There's a buzzer to be let into the waiting room, and patients are allowed inside on appointment only.

12. Pearl's Beauty Salon Hair and Nails: Located in the heart of town, Pearl’s Beauty Salon is very similar to its sister businesses all over the country. The storefront features the same pictures and the same slogans (“Haircuts-Men, Women, and Children!” “Mani and Pedi, Special Price! $18” “Acrylics, full set: $25”) that adorn the front windows of beauty parlors nationwide. Inside, Pearl Langley rules over her little kingdom with a carefully coiffured iron fist. A large, heavily made up woman in her late fifties, she is the queen bee of the town’s older women, spreading gossip and showing off photos Mrs. So-and-So’s most recent grandbaby.

18. Mystic Spa and Accupuncture: For the new ager, MHPA offers aura cleansing massages, raiki healing, crystal therapy, accupuncture, aromatherapy, sound and color healing, flower healing, and polarity therapy. The waiting room is a soothing place, painted in mild yellows and blues and smelling of incense and herbal tea. Crystals hang in the windows, and a small fountain sits on the receptionists desk. The receptionists are a rotation of dreamy eyed young men and women, dressed in flowing outfits and promising to heal the most troubled of souls.

19. Hearth and Home Handcrafted Furniture: The Heath family is very proud of their handmade, custom furniture. The whole family is a part of the business, from cousins who chop the lumber right down to fifteen year old Hattie Heath who cleans up around the store and workshop. The floorroom is a spacious single room and boasts every article of furniture a country home could possibly need. From beds and tables to corner cabinets and entertainment systems, Hearth and Home has the homeowner covered.
