(6,265 posts)25 minutes to get to the bay where I paddle board and watch amazing sunsets over the Bay Bridge. First Landing State Park is full of nature trails and beaches and campgrounds.
8 minutes to get to the Ocean at Sandbridge with a pier and Back Bay wildlife refuge.
Farmland and living, is south and takes 10 minutes to get to fresh local produce markets and miles of open crop land.
Strawberry picking, apple picking and all the fresh produce you want!
Plus we have our very own Art Museum in the heart of our city and a cool Vibe district full of local restaurants, no chains in the Vibe. and a great city is west of my town full of cultural happenings.
I LOVE WHERE I LIVE!!!

But the "mushroom houses" scattered around town are also big attractions.

(215 posts)Driving out in every direction to see them, you could see sheep grazing, grass seed farms, berry farms, hazelnut orchards, Christmas tree farms, mint farms and row crop farms. I live out on a mountain east of my tiny town. I feel so fortunate to live here. Thanks, Deb, for reminding me to appreciate my surroundings! I had to look up Sheetz! So nice they are family owned and not a chain.

(56,102 posts)probably the most interesting is the old 7th Street Cemetery. otherwise it is pretty much just another small town the interstate bypassed. Kartchner Caverns nearby is likely the biggest attraction. might even be in city limits by now. the county as a whole has lots to see, but the town of Benson is not normally a destination.
