Played it as DM and PC a lot.
A semi retired halfling PC of mine opened a tavern outside the walls down by the river despite the warnings from the keep. It got burnt out by troublesome lizard men once and has been the scene of trouble more then once. It went on to become a permanent featue of that DMs campaign that I ran into once again years later as a PC.
As a DM I've tied it into more then one campaign with B1 being slapped down on the map (there is a cave of the unknown unless my moldy memory is mistaken) and even had the palace of the silver princess down the road at least once.
