The Boggy Creek Trail is a charming, easy, neighborhood trail that is perfect for your morning walks or afternoon run. It's mostly shaded and there are some picnic tables and shelters along the way. There are newly paved bike lanes being added now near Rosewood Park. You'll also find large public art installations - wood structures off of Nile Street and murals on the pillars under the Pleasant Valley Road bridge. It's def worth checking out!

Hillside Farmacy could easily get by on its good looks alone. There is a ridiculous amount of charm here, both inside and out on the striped-awning covered patio. The space plays up its origins as Hillside Drugstore, with vintage tile floors, cabinets leftover from the pharmacy, and a highly “cute” old-school feel throughout. We dare you not to post an Instagram before you even sit down.
