    We visit Pine, Strawberry and Payson quite often. Just to clarify it’s the Old COUNTY Inn 😂 and it’s very good. The surrounding area has beautiful hikes and springs with crystal clear water. Love these small towns in AZ.

    My stepfather would go up to Pine, Az every summer for a couple of weekends to get out of the heat of Phoenix. ooo look at those dark clouds, they are going to build up into a nice thunderstorm. Also, we used to buy honey by the gallon from local beekeepers up in Washington, it would only last us about 4 months.

    • @smalltowntourist
      @smalltowntourist  2 місяці тому

      I would assume their conservative world view is part of the culture in Pine as I found that to be true in many rural Arizona communities. Political views are the last thing I care about and personally find undeniably divisive. I'm interested in the culture, history, and attractions; everything that makes the residents proud to call their small town home. Unfortunately, sometimes their political ideologies are what defines them. It's true in small towns and large cities alike. Thank you for your comment! 😎☀️🌵

    I don't think i would say because you don't see a lot of cars in the parking lot that they don't have some good food you should just walk in and try there food you might just get some really good home cooking style food for cheaper then the bigger restaurants better taste for your buck ..

    • @smalltowntourist
      @smalltowntourist  Рік тому

      In my experience, restaurants that offer good food at affordable prices typically draw crowds (unless they're brand new and have not yet been recognized). If the parking lot is empty (during normal meal times) I have found that they are either too expensive, their food is less than stellar, or their service is poor or slow. When I'm traveling, I'm looking for great food, great service and affordable prices. Thanks for the comment 😉☀️🌵
