Reviewed By jmhFranklin_TN - Katy, United States

We enjoyed an after lunch stroll down Main Street in Old Town Pleasanton. The preservation of architecture is refreshing to see. The brick buildings are beautiful. There are many lovely shops to browse in as well as an art gallery. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to choose from as well. Highly recommended.
