Great shop in downtown Madison, excellent prices - 5/31/2009
We visited downtown Madison over the weekend and had a great, great time! One of the court house which had burned down was sad, but ran into a few great stores. One that we have to mention is Sugar Creek Collectibles, they had the greatest items- Primitive, Americana and rusty cast iron was great. More importantly their prices were unbelievable! 40% less than any other place of this type. Make sure you check their in the back of the store, they have wooden signs that are hilarious and only 1.09! Also, a must visit is the downtowner, which is a wonderful restaurant` Located across the sheet! Expected a boring waste of time, but at the end of the day, had an out standing

It is even safe to walk the dog at night. There are many restaurants. There are two golf courses. The Ohio riverfront has been developed into a lovely place to walk or sit. There are town festivals spaced throughout the year that attract residents, artisans, artists, and tourists from all the surrounding areas. July was racing on the river. Coming up is our August Ribberfest--three days of the best barbecue around. Then in September is the Chautauqua, and so on. For urban shopping, Louisville, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis are each about an hour and a half away. Really a great all-round place with things to do and places to
