Ok...I have to be honest. I'm not big on long-distance driving for groceries, or anything else for that matter.
My second favorite part of being in a 20,000 people city, with the total main traffic lights I could count on one hand is the short drives.
For a small city, American Canyon offers modern conveniences of:
Groceries:
Safeway, Walmart
Restaurants:
Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Pizzas, Hawaiian, Indian, Italian, a couple of breweries and of course, American Canyon cuisines.
Dentists: We have at least 4 local dental offices here. We have a pediatric dentist. And we even have an orthodontist office.
Hospitals: We have two major hospitals on either side of our city in Napa (Queen of the Valley) and in Vallejo (Sutter Solano and Kaiser Permanente).
Hotels: Fairfield Inn, Holiday Inn and the Double Tree Hotel
And if you're a family with small children, you would love American Canyon! It offers several public parks with play structures, a community pool (a popular hangout), and a few baseball fields and basketball courts throughout the city. The famous Jelly Belly Factory and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom are within minutes away.
