"North Platte is a community that rallies around each other. Whether it is a new business, new people moving to our community or those affected by illness, North Platte embraces them and supports them like no other. My favorite part of North Platte is the vibrant Historic Canteen District downtown. Adorned by overhead festoon lighting and vintage street lights, it is filled with boutiques, gift shops, restaurants, salons, an adorable flower shop, unique ice cream shop, bicycle store and some of the best customer service around! The Canteen District also hosts concerts, car shows, parades and other fun festivals and activities. North Platte is the epitome of small town living with big town amenities."
