Castle Rock has always been considered a little bedroom community. “Main street” was the only street that had businesses for years. Kids would ‘drag main’ and say hello to their friends, and park in front of the old courthouse to see who was out that evening! It was a scene from Mayberry, and although some has changed, it does still hold the quaintness of a small town community. The old timers can be found having breakfast at the B&B Café, one of Castle Rock’s most historic dining places, or possibly having dinner at The Old Stone Church. Pedestrians still have the right of way and a Saturday farmers market is always a welcome event for the local farmers.
