description:
Rural farms, cattle, and fruit orchards populate the landscape. The Main Drag, highway 99 dominates the region. Quaint downtown peaked in the 1950's, but still holds it's small town charm w/ historic buildings, offices, and services. No restaurants in downtown, so don't go searching. All the eateries seem to be on the busy thoroughfare, HWY 99.
