Railroad town with interesting historic buildings. Only 20 minutes away.
Medium-hard trail with lots and lots of stairs. It's by a wooded creek, so it's a nice shaded hiking place when the sun is burning hot. 30 min away.

Great for architecture and history lovers. Don't miss the rotunda and the adjacent museum exhibit. Did you know George W Bush was Governor of Texas before becoming president?

Not many people live within 30 minutes of an IKEA store. While you're here, you can pick up some home essentials or just enjoy the showrooms.

There are so many modern food options in this area, and they are mostly affordable! The early 1900s architecture around the Tower is also worth checking out!

省錢方式
Use the train!
The train is a reliable, comfortable, and cheap way to get to Downtown for ~$7 per day. It's safe and way less noisy than the old carriages in Boston, New York, or Chicago. You won't have to pay for gas or parking also. Just check the schedule.
