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.
