5 /5 David Russell: I came into town more than a week ago to visit my cousin Don Russell, who owns and runs the mountain messenger newspaper. I love this grocery store in Downieville, because they have everything you need. Not a huge store but its also not a huge town, its a small yet beautiful old goldmining town from the 1800s that is not a massive population but an incredibly great population of people. Friendly, friendly, friendly! And I have to say for a mountain town like downeyville this grocery store had some incredibly great craft beer selections, with varieties of craft beers I have dreamed about trying while reading about them in my home state of Michigan. Looking forward to our return trip to Downieville but if youre in this little town check out the grocery store and you will dig it as much as we did, maybe even more.
