Annabell’s Bar & Lounge/Facebook When most people hear “dive bar,” they typically do not find the term endearing. But when Annabell’s is described as such, it is meant to refer to an intimate venue for killer live music shows and delicious drinks. Check for free upcoming concerts at this neat punk-rock bar.
- Explore a site with a haunted history.

Just be cautious to avoid trespassing on private property. As an alternative, brush up on local legends and entertain your partner over a bonfire for two.
- Watch the sunset.
