The conversation revolves around Village Lane, a tucked-away gem that’s now bustling with fresh, exciting businesses. They mention hotspots like Atomic Cow for its delicious smash burgers and milkshakes, Cool Dog for its unique dog accessories, and Taryn’s Place Pub and Gallery, a cozy English style bar offering live local music and European beers.
The hosts also shed light on unique stores like the artisanal soap boutique, Soapy Shed, and the newly relocated Haven Decor and Gallery showcasing local art. Throughout their chat, they emphasize supporting the small businesses and creative individuals that shape the community.
