WHERE TO EAT
The simply decorated Railroad Inn is a one-story building just across from the old train station. It's the restaurant in Downs, seating about 30 people at six large tables covered in checkerboard oilcloth. Both times we were there we ate crisp fried chicken that was "never frozen."
DINNER FOR TWO $15
