On our road trip to Yellowstone we got low on gas in an area where there were several exits with “no services”, oops! We finally found an exit with a small 4 pump station across the street from the one convenience store in the very small town of Alberton.
As we headed back to the freeway we passed the town’s tavern. I didn’t notice the coffins until I uploaded the photo. I’ve never seen that before.
Our stop for the night was Missoula, Montana and we saw this sign in the historic downtown area.
While walking in downtown Missoula we saw a bicycle riding Missoula ambassador who had maps and information about the downtown area. Isn’t that a nice idea? We flagged him down and asked about where we might enjoy a refreshing brew and where we could later enjoy a steak. He mentioned one restaurant called The Depot and then when we found the spot he recommended for a brew the proprietor there recommended the same restaurant for steak to us.
The local brew at The Dram Shop was refreshing and our Steak and Panko Veggies at The Depot were very good.
I’m linking up to signs, signs with Lesley.
Today is Wednesday. I have to remind myself of what day of the week it is after a Monday holiday. How about you? The forecast is saying this is the nicest day weather wise this week so you’ll find us out in the yard doing some work.
oooh, Emmylou Harris!
Would have loved to see her.
Really nice selection here!
Great buildings and signs!
I would love to go to an Emmy Lou Harris concert. Old West taverns often displayed those that got killed in town in coffins just like these in your picture.
Interesting architecture.
We may drive up to Montana this summer so I will kee a list of your recommendations, Ellen! Do you think those coffins were for sale? Odd sight, indeed!
Summer is for road trips and camping. Love the signs you found.
My SIGNS, SIGNS
Wilma’s sign is an interesting design and love the variety of building styles.
Great architecture and what about those neat old neon sign and then throw in Emmylou Harris!
Enjoyed visiting Missoula with you .. We always enjoyed visiting , but it has been years. The ambassador is a great idea for a town and obviously he steered you well!
The coffins seem an ominous sign, though maybe it’s common there and is simply a useful combination of businesses?!
