Spences, known by some locals as "the sale", is worth a visit. You can get a very good haircut there for 8 bucks. You can have your ancient vacuum repaired or find a part for it you find no where else. There's an excellent butcher shop and plenty of places that sell "goot food" from pretzels to apple dumplins.
