City and Destination Information The following was taken from the website for the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Alachua. Visit their website for additional information. http://alachua.com Alachua, Florida from notoriety in the Wall Street Journal to local news on-line, this little city has it going on… The once referred to “bedroom” community just outside Gainesville, Florida has moved up the ladder as far as little towns go. The development within and around the city has generated high-tech, high touch, high demand and cutting edge attention from a plethora of fortune 500 lookers. From corner to corner, this town has something for everyone. Alachua has a population of roughly 6800 people, a diverse economic structure and a picturesque Main Street straight out of the 50’s. Small family owned shops are nestled along the serpentine street that is adorned with ever changing foliage of the Bradford Pear tree. Store fronts shine with pride, windows are filled with suggestions of garden grandeur, healthy concoctions, and a new candy store that offers the taste of yesteryear. You can enjoy the famous Monster Burger from Conestogas or stroll down the street to a café drenched in sunshine yellow walls, friendly smiling faces serving fresh baked muffins with your favorite gourmet coffee to get a morning started and catch up on all the happenings around town. You may even see a feathered friend or get to watch a new generation of Alachua taking his first steps while growing up on Main Street. A little further down the street is an Alachua icon. An old family home is now masterfully restored to the grand elegance of it’s glorious youth. Govinda’s restaurant showcases quintessential southern architecture. This picture perfect example, complete with white picket fence, flower laden gardens and soft aroma from the kitchen will be forever etched into your memory.
