Safeway or City Market for food?

Both are pretty much the same with the exception of meat. Safeway in Frisco, has by far the best selection and quality. City Market in Dillon, is bigger and has a better location in regards to shopping at other stores.

    Beware of Dillon cops ticketing bikers

    There was an interesting opinion in the Summit Daily News today about bicyclists being ticketed for failure to obey a stop sign. This occurred near the Dillon Amphitheater at the intersection of Lake Dillon Dr. and Lodge Pole. Apparently this is job retention ploy by Dillon Police.
