You Never Know What's Around The Corner In An Old Mining Town

Restored Indian Motorcycle Co. billboard painted on side of a building in Bisbee, ArizonaA week ago, I spent part of a Sunday afternoon in Bisbee, Arizona.  While waiting to meet a client before we went to view the Loma Linda Mansion, I had a chance to wander down a side street, away from the tourist area for a few minutes - you never know what's around the corner in an old mining town!

First thing that caught my eye was an old Indian Motorcycle ad painted on the side of a building - someone has spruced it up and done a little restoration to it.  Made me think of my days in Durango, Colorado tending bar in a place dedicated & decorated with restored Indians & memorabilia (the bar stools were actually replicas of the saddle on the old Indian Chieftain model).  Cool!

As I wandered down to get a better angle to take a photo, I noticed this taxi.  One thing I love about the west, old mining towns in particular...is the wry sense of humor that underscores a hardscrabble life.  Think I'll let the taxi speak for itself:
