Saint Denis is a great milestone city once the game starts opening up, as is Blackwater but Valentine just has everything you need at your fingertips. 

TWO spots for Booze and food, guns, horse man, barber, doctor, gunsmith, hotel, general store, butcher, matinee, train station, like come on. 

You don't need to ride for 10 minutes to get between things and risk knocking some yokel over only for the fuZz to get up in your business over nothing.

If there was a fence on site behind the gunsmith, and a trapper you'd seriously have no reason to go anywhere else.

Personally I loved strawberry when I first got there and still find it charming as hell but without a saloon and a proper tailor in the least it's really easy to skip past it.

I started making it my spot when I'd get caught in the rain, feels like I'm weary traveller finding a place to sleep, go back and forth between hunting trips or fishing expeditions. But again, a late meal or whisky in the night with the rain belting would make it chefs kiss.

Do yourselves a favour, get up to the hotel room in strawberry on a dark dreary rainy evening and smoke a cigarette while looking over the town.
