Columbia's original helthfood store. Great people. Ethically picked products and produce. You could go to natural grocers, but why would you.

Twin Lakes Dog Park
2500 Chapel Hill RdThis used to be an airport. there's a lot happening here and the roads can be confusing if you are not familiar with this park. There is a large Dino themed playground. Soccer fields of various sizes. The bear creek trail goes through here. There is a skate park and soft ball fields. There is an outdoor ice-skating rink but I have never seen it have ice in it. There is a large network of dirt biking trails that are also lovely to hike. The dirt biking trails are also an off leach area. There is also a remote control car track. Plenty of large grassy areas in the shade and the sun. and pavilions.

Really great state park, lost of cool sink holes. There is of course Devils Icebox cave and Connors Cave. I don't recommend going in the caves without proper gear or guidancebut it is 'cool' to go down to the entrance. The park also has lots of hiking trails in all kinds of settings and habits!! Shooting star trail and wagon wheel trails are quite popular.
