dogs welcome. My Dixie was loved on by all. She liked every minute. Be sure to go to the cherry shop and get some cherry drops to die for.

I now prefer this to the main stretch because while the main stretch is beautiful some stores are hard to get into. Where as River Place is much more accessible. I highly recommend trying the pasties from the bubble tea shop.
