Myrl, I enjoy your photos. Although I would not be inclined to republish this, it's interesting to see other parts of the country from where I am situated in Mayland.

Myrl, I love the rustic feel of this place...especially the clapboard building and facade. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting photo. Did they have Visa and Mastercard back in the day? :)

Myrl, Lots of color, yet rustic!
Your good friend in Washington State!

Myrl, thank you for inviting me to your Photo group!

Myrl - Great photo. I'd love to take a trip back in time and see the place as it was a century ago.

Myrl-don't know where this is but it sure brings back my Saturday mornings in front of the television watching westerns

That is such a great picture. I would love to see what's in those shops!

Myrl, I went to one of these old Western towns in Arizona and loved it! I found it so unique and enjoyed this picture very much. (I think it was called Jerome, I'm not sure as a senior moment has just set in :)

Well now, that's a place I'd love to spend some time in! You captured the charm perfectly, Myrl!

Debi

Hey, Myrl. That is an awesome photo. I also could spend some time there. Thanks, Jim

Myrl, another beautiful photo by a great lady! Just makes me want to come out there and have you for my tour guide. You do a beautiful job. Thank you!

Myrl,

Interesting the way they seemed to make their store right in the hillside. Pretty streetscape. :)

Steve

Looks like a movie set I'm waiting for a cowboy to come out.

I just love that neon "OPEN" sign all lit up against the weather beaten wood facade. Thanks for sharing this with us, Myrl.

Hi Myrl,

What a wonderful photo and am I right in thinking this is Goldfield in Arizona? I just love the old cowboy towns and I wonder if you are familiar with the Fort Worth Stockyards here in Texas. That's a favorite place of mine for a weekend away.

Wanda - I snapped this picture in Eureka Nevada, along Highway 50. Visiting the town is like stepping back in time.

Jane - I think the MasterCard sign may have been a more recent addition.

Paul - Eureka, Nevada - Probably one of the more rustic little towns I've visited.

John - I had that feeling as I was walking through the little town too. . .Somehow, I could hear guns blazing:-)

Kathy - Me too! I could almost see the Butch Cassidy:-)

Yvette and Dennis - Lots of antiques were inside.

Carole - Jerome is a great little western town. This town, Eureka, is located in Eastern Nevada.

Debi - I'll bet you could really take some neat pictures in a place like that. One of the signs posted at one end of town, is a handpainted sign in a yard that says, "Speed Trap."

Jim and Maria - There are a series of stores, and store fronts in Eureka. There's an old rustic looking diner. It's a neat place to spend a few hours.

Andrea - Eureka, Nevada is a few hundred miles from my home. I think this was the first time I have been to it.

Steve - I thought that was interesting too!

Terry - That whole town would make a GREAT movie set.

Sharon - I think they need to change that sign. . .It's incongruent:-)

Steve - I think I had better put on my glasses. . .For a minute there I thought you had written "Goldfish" Arizona:-) No, the location is actually Eureka in Eastern Nevada, along Highway 50.

Hi Myrl,

I'm not familiar with Eureka but what a great name. Isn't that what Archimedes said when he got in the bath???

Steve

ToulaRosebrock.com Hi Myrl:

What an adorable place!

Fantastic photo, as always...

OCT

Cool photo, Myrl...I thought it was Knottsberry Farm if it is still there!

OCT

Maybe the West was not necessarily won there because I was not there at the time!
