JA: Slippery Gulch Was Old West

JohnA: Wallace in the past was a rollicking good time, no matter your take on the morals of the place. It was good for what’s bad, a dissertation on dissipation if there ever was one. It was corrupt officials elected time and again, and a Madam who bought uniforms for the high school band. It was high stakes stud poker, blackjack and dancing girls at every turn. It was, simply to us locals, Slippery Gulch. But, most of all, it was the Old West as it once was, when minin’ men went to town on Friday night and owed their soul to the company store the rest of the week.

Question: Are there any places that you’d call the “Old West” remaining in the region?
