A Step
Back in Time
There was a movie about the town of Tombstone (actually,
several) that called it “the town too tough to die”. One day, Jeff and I decided to visit this
tough Old West Town, and walk down its main street. It is like a step back in time to walk down
that dusty road….
Courthouse in Tombstone
If you’ve heard of the “shootout at the OK Corral” then you’ve
heard of Tombstone! Somehow, I can’t
help but think that this courthouse (or the original one) got a lot of use
“back in the day”, as they say!
Wyatt’s Hotel
One of the guys that hung out in Tombstone was Wyatt Earp, and
this hotel has been named after him. Did
he actually own it…..or stay there often?
Who knows? I can almost see him
gazing out of the second story window, tho.
Main Street – Tombstone
The main street is actually just a couple of blocks long, and is
clearly the main commercial section of town, so no, the entire town doesn’t
look like this! In any event, one does
feel like one has stepped back in time when wandering down the street.
Street Signs
As we walked along, I noticed these cool street signs down one
of the side streets. I love the signs
that hang out from the buildings. Why
don’t they do that more nowadays? It
would make it easier to spot the shops!
Vintage Town Scene
There were a couple of different stagecoaches that traveled up
and down the main street area, with some historical information presented by
the coach drivers. I love the background
of the mercantile.
Window Reflection
Just outside of Tombstone, there was a small historical
village. As those of you who follow my
blog know, I am greatly attracted to windows with interesting reflections, and
this one doesn’t disappoint!
Enjoy!
