Nature

Super close leisurely hiking trail (less than 5 minutes driving) along a small stream. 1.5 miles long. You can park in front of the fence or across the street at the baseball fields. There's also a nice playground.

Consistently delicious, reasonably priced sushi and pan-Asian food owned by a local couple who live around the corner. This place has become a Kennett landmark. Great Bento boxes for lunch!

A bit of a hole in the wall, but the TACOS!!! Butcher shop in front, food and tables in the back. Staff speak some English, fluent Spanish. Truly an authentic taste of Kennett. Carnitas, chorizo, and steak tacos and horchata are a little vacay to Mexico.
