Bar is Open (Gila Bend, Arizona)

The town bar is open, apparently under renovation. The previous photo on my stream of just the side door was good to get at that time, for it is now covered up by the odd decorative wall and bales of hay. The historic Stout’s Hotel is seen in the background of this downtown scene. I suspect Gila Bend may have 2 or 3 bars, but this is the only one I have spotted on "Main Street". Behind the quonsett hut part of the bar there is an odd and tall structure being added, perhaps large enough to hold the main part of the new, improved bar. Of course I’ll try to get more photos on my next trip through Gila Bend as I travel Arizona 85 to get to Interstate 8 going south to Yuma.

    Now THAT is one unique bar! I wonder what kind of clientele it attracts.

    I have no idea why the side door image and sign I got 3 years ago was popular, but people still find it in flickr. Now it is gone.

    that’s very interesting!
    great juxtaposition of materials, and the hay gives it a mysterious incongruence…
