Essentials
The closest grocery store to the house. They also sell beer and wine. About a 4 minute drive. It's small, so the choices can be limited, but they have all the essentials you might need. If you want to do a big food shop, Shaw's or Trader Joe's are more cost-effective and have a bigger selection of items.

Arts & Culture
One of those things you *have* to do while you're in the area. A museum that has scared generations of field-tripping middle schoolers and their parents. It was recently updated and in all honesty, it relates a sad, chilling, important time in our area's history.
