🫶 We got your back
Scoops of sunshine: Bibo Coffee Co. is your passport to gelato heaven, where every scoop tastes like a vacation in a cup—from tangy lemon to velvety stracciatella. It’s hands-down the sweetest way to beat the heat this weekend.
Pocket-sized perfection: If you’re craving dumplings that dance between delicate pleats and bold fillings, look no further than Honey Bakery—they steam, they sear, they even deep-fry, but no matter the shape, each bite packs a flavor punch you won’t see coming.
See clearly, look cheeky: Ready to upgrade your eye game? Downtown Vision isn’t your grandma’s eyewear counter (unless grandma’s a style icon). From retro cat-eyes to modern minimalist frames that whisper “I’ve got this,” they’ll have you seeing—and being seen—in a whole new light.
Kickflip ready: Drop in for decks, wheels, and gear that won’t bail on you—Classic Skate Shop keeps everything locked in so you can focus on landing that trick instead of worrying about snapped axles.

Bryan Drakulich (BHG Drakulich Realty) – 5 bedrooms | 8 bathrooms | Built in 2007 | 6743 sqft
Mountain modern swagger meets gadget geek paradise in this Montreux stunner, where the kitchen flexes with a Wolf range, Gaggenau double ovens, and a Sub-Zero fridge so fancy it practically chills your champagne on command. The game room is ready for shenanigans, hiding a full-service kitchenette behind secret-agent cabinetry, while the primary suite serves up spa vibes, a fireplace, and patio access for those “I woke up like this” mornings.
Each bedroom gets its own ensuite and deck, so nobody has to fight over the good bathroom (or the best view). The detached casita is basically a boutique hotel with its own fireplace, bath, and deck—perfect for in-laws, outlaws, or solo escapes. Out back, a fully fenced yard hugs the national forest, complete with a hot tub for stargazing or plotting your next round of golf.
