[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7707694, member: 15582"] I used to live in Dodge City, Kansas and walked through the whole Boot Hill museum/Old West town facade many a times. There was also a cool abandoned brick train depot/hotel, a quaintly perserved (and far too small) Carnegie library and a two-room History Center (excuse me -- Centre) Beyond that, the rest of the town was pretty much cookie-cutter rural America AND out in the middle of nowhere (Denver and Wichita are both five hour drives in opposite directions.) Lots of visitors would detour miles out to visit and seemed to expect much more with all the history and the [I]Gunsmoke [/I]show. In fact, I think they would have preferred a tourist trap atmosphere instead of the quiet little town Dodge City had become. True fact time: The wild and wooly cowboys from the cattle drives were kicked out of Dodge by the insistence of the farmers that didn't even live in town. Those farmer couldn't stand the thought of such a sinful action happening in the same town they had to go to for the feed store. By the time the town was drying up, the downtown merchants had sent out letters to the cattle drive bosses to begging them back. But by then the damage was done and not long after that, the extended train lines killed off the jobs permanently. [/QUOTE]
