We really enjoyed this place. We liked it so much we plan on going back again. The motel was about 100 yards away so after having a few glasses of ice tea I didn't have to worry about driving home, we just walked.

This is one of the artists studio and house. It is an old street car. The art studios were really fun, interesting and educational. We plan to go back next year and spend the day visiting as many of them as we can.
