We drove into town and tried the local Mexican food (Aztec) and were very disappointed. Everything was fresh but there was no spice. Then we went down to Falls Park. As the name suggests, the park wraps around the Sioux River and the tall water falls. Over time, various people have tried to harness the power of the water. The remains of a gristmill and electric plant litter the banks of the river. Portions of the falls were quarried to help with the water flow for the electric plant. The falls are impressive and the park around them is well maintained and pretty. From the falls we went down to Phillips Street in the downtown quarter. It was similar to Main Street in Sundance Square. The buildings are 100 years old and well maintained. Shops are interspersed with restaurants and pubs with street side seating. There are sculptures sprinkled along the walkways and hysterical markers. The weather was beautiful and begged us to sit in a street side patio for a local brew.
