One of the things I love to do when visiting a new town is to find the downtown district and find the local flavor. You know what I mean; like the mom and pop hole in the wall places that typically have the best food.

Ventana Gourmet Grill.. downtown Excelsior Springs Missouri

 Places where local arts isn't limited to just a store front window.

... and the local shops display odd little trinkets in their windows. It's like finding hidden treasure for your soul.
