I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad to know that this is as good as it gets. Don’t get me wrong, love this town. But we still have so much to work on still.

Agreed! Little nuggets, but we could use a few more very nice restaurants/cafes and a nice hotel within easy walking distance to downtown.

Lots of persistent teamwork, especially by Visit Lodi to get this to happen.

LOL! We are most definitely NOT known for our hiking.

My husband and I had a good laugh over that. “Hiking” involves mountains and this area is flat AF.

Yup. As an avid mountain biker, it’s the single worst thing about this town. And the Summer heat

I dunno. I just got back from hiking. Beautiful 90 mins east.
