One night felt rushed, two nights is perfect to check parks, farms and a relaxed Saturday market.
Gas near the highway exit is pricier, fill up in town center before heading toward the Delta or Stockton.
Small town vibe, friendly people and decent diners. Summer afternoons get brutally hot, bring sunscreen and a hat.
Quiet streets at night, great for a low-key weekend. Not much nightlife, so plan daytime outings instead.
Park behind Main Street restaurants for free, the alley lot is almost always open even on weekends.
