Damn Fine Peeps and Suds at the Good People Brewery and Taproom!! Enjoy drinking your beer at tables right out on this working brewery floor. I would highly recommend a stop for one of their tours that they offer on Saturdays from 2pm to 4pm on the hour. Signing up online is the best way to go to reserve a slot. Each tour is limited to 15 peeps so... nice and intimate. $10 gets you a collectible glass and a pint or four 4-oz samples.

Truly the best view of the city is from Crest Road. FYI, This is NOT a spot that locals ... or local Law Enforcement want a bunch of tourists visiting. The small one way street only runs about 1000 feet and no stopping is allowed. The street is closed with a keypad locked gate after 7 p.m. I parked down the street and walked up just before 7 p.m. for this shot. Please be aware that in this part of town there is a lot of affluence and Local Law Enforcement is VERY serious about protecting its community... If you look out of place they will find a reason... dig?
