Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Starland District
We are lucky to be surrounded by all kinds of great restaurants, bars and interesting shops. As in any city, please be aware of your surroundings when walking at night and stay to well-lit and traveled streets.
To get to the River or Historic District, you can walk/bike during the day (1.5 m) or Uber at night (parking is rough). A new free trolley in Drayton runs to the river.
To orient yourself to our house: the river is the northern point of the city. We are about 2 miles south. Bull St. divides east and west.
