Car. Only car. This is near-rural Texas!

Eat
Pecans fallen from the trees. They're addictive!
- La Tapatia (At SH-35 business and E. House.). A small taqueria chain with affordable Mexican food with a nice environment! $5.
Drink
Brazoria county is recently a "wet" county. Previously, it was "damp" which meant you could only buy beer with low alcohol content. The availability is still somewhat lacking, so consider going to Galveston County for a better selection.
