It is also rough and bumpy and easy to twist an ankle there. Also the bridge crossing over Web Chappel is just as tiny. A pedestrian bri...

We went to Willow Bend once a couple of years ago. Had to practically run through it because of the perfume stench all throughout - candle stores, bed/bath stores, etc. We both left there with massive headaches and never went back.
