Plus two other cities that I've forgotten. My brother has lived there the past 35 years. Probably 10 degrees cooler in the summer than the middle of the state. Lots of microbreweries. Sorry to hear it has lost its charm. It's still very nice but summer time traffic has grown exponentially, reducing it's charm to me. That's a problem everytime a "best place" rating shines a light on a small town not equiped to handle the influx of tourists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town definitely can't handle the summer time traffic...parking was an issue all weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
