Two of my favorite old west towns is Silverton, CO and Lajita, TX. Not sure why, but perhaps the ambiance and simplicity of them. Both are exceptionally well maintained and kept a portion original. Especially Lajita, TX. You should visit there if you have not done so. Getting to Lajita, TX requires a long drive south of Apline, TX passing through Terlingua where a lot of scenes for Red Headed Stranger and the last James Arnez movies were filmed. The landscape between Terlingua will look exceptionally familiar as many films were made there just for the scenery. Stay at the old motel there. Now that's something else.

William Tecumseh Sherman was the guy who laid out the grid of the streets downtown here in Sacramento. The east-west streets are mostly letters of the alphabet. The north-south streets are numbers, except what would be "First street" is called "Front street". I believe that is because it is next to the waterfront on the river. Anyway we had a train to Folsom too. I bet there was rich folks eating in a fancy dining car...

That was an old one. People don't have much to say about old towns. They can't all be boom towns . Someone must have thought this is an interesting place to build a town and started to look for investors with trade skills , especially lumbering And timber making. Including building skills. Can't be to many with the money to import timber and skills directly since it was the poor that generally went west. Even your founding fathers moved there do to lack of opportunity in Europe.
@ArizonaGhostriders 2 жыл бұрын

There’s an episode of The Twilight Zone titled “A Stop at Willoughby,” about a man who yearns for a sort of perfect “everytown” in 1888 that may or may not be real. It speaks a lot to the current state of things where, as the view count here (and RDR2’s sales...) shows, millions of people seek to escape to that period. For now, Santee is the closest thing we have to a time-traveling Old West tour guide.
