StockExchangeSaloon Bisbee, AZ

Bisbee is a little town with character. From the Stock Exchange Saloon to the tattoo parlor, the Shady Dell to the Electric Brewing Company,  the home in a canyon grew up in the brawl of mining and survived into the 21st century on what looks like eclectic...character.


Trying for the tourist dollar seems overwrought in Tombstone, while Bisbee is more comfortable with itself and what it's become, jammed between the mine and the canyon walls.


What do we have here? Maybe a nightclub, a tattoo parlor or someone's house. I took it is an example of tolerance for bad taste and artistic license and if there was more time I could have investigated more thoroughly.

By contrast, the pink and blue house seems tame across the street from the one market that sold OK ale from Electric Brewing.
The vegan cafe, Poco,  in Peddlers Alley was flat terrific! Travel food varies from awful to amazingly good. Here it was good. 

A postscript request. If you have read one of my books please consider writing a review where you bought it on line. It all helps! Thanks!

I was on a quest for good beer when we walked by the first time and the second, we were carrying a case of beer thru town. It rather looked as tho the place was closed, but I'll take the criticism for what it's worth!
