Essentials
It's not the Ritz, but it's walkable from the house, and has basic groceries and supplies, at reasonable prices. And I love how they don't do the "99" thing. Prices end in "00"

Down the street a bit. Can get all the usual convenience-store-at-a-gas-station type things. They make custom order sandwiches and have daily lunch specials. Plus they have seating for eating and free wifi, in case you want to telework there.

Typical large grocery store. There's a fancier one in LaVale (down the highway a couple exits) with tofu/vegan options, but this one will get the job done for typical things like produce, bread, meat, and package goods.

Sightseeing
More for sightseeing than transportation, this scenic railroad goes through Cumberland to Frostburg station in an old-school train. You can also get the wine and cheese upgrade option to get a little loose while taking in the nature :)
