Comments: This place has more than enough helpful folks pumping gas. Downtown traffic seems congested. A group of friends visited here a couple months back. There seem to be weather surprises around evening. Home prices have gone out of sight since just a little while ago. To have a well spent afternoon, make a point of visiting Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum. You won't be disappointed.
