This is a great store if you are luck enough to STUMBLE upon it. I say this because unfortunately they do not have a sign to help you locate it.
They have lots of really cool silver jewelry and the staff is friendly, if he hasn't been out the night before.

We attended this theater for the first time last year at Christmas time to see Santaland Diaries. It's an adorable small theater in the historic district. Before the performance we went to a nice bar beside it for coffee and it was wonderful. The performance was great, we laughed through the entire thing and when it was over, the actor came outide to meet us. We were all really impressed with this theater.

This is probably one of the nicest gift shops on the island. It has been around for over 20 years. They have classy gifts that are very reasonably priced.
Be sure and ask for Maria. She gives great customer serivce as long as she has not been out the night before.

I love the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and it's always a special treat for me when I run into one when I'm out shopping. Whenever I see one, I have to go inside and at least see what they have and of course, get myself a "little" treat.
If you've never been to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory before, I have to say that you are MISSING OUT! They have a great selection of sweets and something for everyone from caramel/candied apples to homemade fudge. The Rocky Road fudge is one of my personal favorites. Their selection is usually pretty standard from location to location and I love that for most items they offer it in both dark chocolate and "light" chocolate. Today I tried a dark chocolate cashew cluster and I was not disappointed! I also tried a giant peanut butter cup (I can't remember the exact name they have for them), and I was somewhat disappointed in that. There was way too much chocolate and not enough peanut butter (I couldn't even taste the peanut butter!). My husband found something that I have never seen at other locations - fresh black licorice. He bought a package and it was gone within a few hours (he did share, but still...) He said it was some of the best licorice he has ever tasted.
The chocolate isn't cheap (you pay at least $1 for individual items), but it makes a nice "treat" and is well worth it in my opinion! At this location, they also served Blue Bell ice cream. This is another location that is not "stroller friendly" as you have to climb a big flight of stairs to get to the main display area. I have been to many different Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory locations and I have yet to be disappointed. This location was comparable to the others that I have been to!
