Simply Cottonwood AZ!

I moved down to the small town feeling city of Cottonwood last week when my gas budget was very tight.  I needed to come into Wal-Mart and just decided to spend the night in town.  What a surprisingly good decision!

Cottonwood has many sections of town including historic Old Town. All of Cottonwood is bicycle friendly and there are bike lanes and trails. They have a nice little transit system and there seems to be plenty of buses.  There is plenty of choices for shopping including a wonderful healthfood store. Cottonwood has a lovely Rec Center with daily, weekly and monthly rates for residents and visitors. I understand that the library is nice as well.   There are services to help travelers as well as the disabled and low income people of the Verde Valley.   Food pantries with fresh produce and occasionally health foods. Hot meals and a Friday evening community picnic in the park.  Free showers, hair cuts, laundry, coffee, use of computers or Wi-Fi access and much more.

Places to check out:
     The Old Town Mission
     The Loft
     Catholic Charities
