During the holidays I take the kids on Tuesdays since it's only $0.50!! Of course the inflated prices at the snack-bar can weigh you down, but hey, if you want to see a movie during it's in between big theater & DVD release, THIS is the place to do it!!

I have been going to Independent Records since I was a teenager, and now my own teenagers shop there. The store offers a wide variety of music and videos, as well as used items.
Independent Records is also one of the best places in town to purchase concert tickets. They always have the most current concert schedules, and they participate and sponsor community events often.
You can also sell and trade your music and video items there. You will find a bulletin board for local band notices. They have opened a second store, an annex, directly across the street from the original store on Platte Avenue.

King Pin -- Love that this is a no-smoking bowling alley! We went during the day here and it wasn't crowded at all -- we got set up and started to play right away. Prices were very reasonable and the food/snacks we got were yummy and priced inexpensively in comparison to what you sometimes have to pay to feed a family out on the town. This is a new place and seems very clean although you may have to put up with some construction dust (only on the way to the alley, not once you're bowling) while they finish their other areas.

Michael Garman is a local artist who does unique sculptures of 1940's-era working class folks. His lifelike subjects have the most amazing facial features and his work is truly one-of-a-kind. Of particular interest are his "diner scenes" which show all kinds of motley folks hanging out at the local food counter.
But, what you must check out while you are the gallery is the Magic Town int he back. for a small fee, you will enter a world unlike any that you have seen. It is a complete miniature 1940's cityscape with talking holograms and all kinds of surprises. Kids and adult will enjoy--I think it brings out the voyeur in all of us as we peek in windows to get a better look at what lies within.

I love to go to Border's Book's and browse the shelves and sometimes even buy a book or two. They usually have a "coffee" bar there and I'll try a new coffee drink if I'm in the mood for one. I stop at the card display and read cards too. I will go through the clearance table to see if there is something in there that could be used as a "gift" for someone or just something I might want for myself. I'll check out all the calendars. It's fun to just end up at a table and just sit and watch the people that come and go. I am a people watcher and for some silly reason, it relaxes me.

My friends and I always go here on Wednesday for $1 bowling and the staff knows us all! We always have a great time and the prices are great! The jukebox on the other hand needs to be corrected with the right music (you put in the money for a certain song and you end up with something else). The food selection is ok. Overall this is a nice mellow hangout.

This isn't the biggest zoo, but it's still a great zoo. It will have most of the animals that you can think of. It's just gorgeous also. The landscape is pretty. Don't miss feeding the giraffes and the nice gift shop. Also, you should get a pass if you have small kids.

This little comedy club is quaint. I've never really seen any big name there but from what I have seen it's not a bad place to go for a group outing. there is a two drink minimum. I've never bough tixs from there I think it's like $5-10 but if you get on there guest list for birthdays you can get like 20 tix for free and then everyone has to buy at least 2 drinks. The drinks aren't that bad but you should order them the first chance you get or else you won't see them until the show is halfway over. The shows generally last from 2-3 hours. The tables are small and crowded but if you bring friends you won't notice as much. It's a great Friday night outing if you aren't into bars or clubs. (the smoke isn't too bad but sometime just bearable.
