Skaters Edge, not a great selection all the time, but Big Dave is a straight enough dude and his prices are the same as everyone else.
The Bike Barn is in Whitman and is a little better and sean rips
Food
Weir House of Pizza
mike the greek owns this place, dude has been ripping forever, lets kids build ghetto spots out back. REally good steak tips, pizza, fish and chips. weak beer selection. moderate price, good atmosphere with NO problems. good looking slutty waitresses too.

Freedman's Cemetary banks/wall
behind the justice center is a cemetary with banks that start off low and hit a peak in the middle. ridiculously steep at the highest point. There is a stair set in the middle, also at the beginning there is a stump that you can carve around if you're able to do a nose bonk on the wall. The wall is wicked burly, made out of cobblestone, nothing less than 60mm is going to make it off without an ensuing slam.
Main street ground rail
behind Spinzanellis coffee shop there is a white hip high ground rail that is built into a brick foundation. it's good for regular skaters to slide and gooft skaters can grind it. It's got a nice slanted run up.
There are more spots that are so random i wont dig em up.
Shops
There is a skateshop owned by a guy with a mullet who called me "sir" the first time i walked through the door, nuff said.
rainy day used books
there are no skateboards for sale in this store, just used books and records. Chris Johnson is a great guy. If you're in town, it's off on Innes street. Walk in and ask for transients choice, you'll get a free e cup of coffee and a place to chill. dude plays punk rock and phil ochs all day, best place in town.
Food
Las Palmas closed. RIP, that was a great place to get drunk everynight and hear someone play music
Salty Caper
has wicked good beer selection, pizza cooked in an oven fueled by wood. No bud products, miller, coors, just dank high gravity beer. Pricey, but well worth it. Dammit Dave might be a dick head at first, but his place has the best grub in town, hands down.
La Cieba
Honduran Bakery, great tacos, burritos, and pupusa. 3 pupusa (tortilla with stuff inside, circular shape) will cost 4 dollars, meat, cheese, veggies, anything you want. they've got good donut type pastries too, good cheap bread as well.
soup kitchen
not a bad place either, free grub for all the cats who can't find a job.
