Apparently if you go on a Saturday or Sunday they have reenactments, but we went on a Tuesday so all we saw were two old couples taking pictures. Luckily we ran into an owner of three of the buildings on Mane Street (Yeas it's MANE STREET) that told us the real story. In the early 90's the California State Government told each property owner that they had to make all of the buildings up to code, which lead to 2/3's of the buildings being torn down. It's really a shame that they didn't keep more of it in tacked but what they had was still amazing.

What amazing history..that type of stuff fascinates me! You will have to go back on a saturday or sunday to see the show! :) So so cool..you look very lovely too!
This is so beautiful, love the photos! Whoa, it's so historical. Love your hat and cardigan! Sounds like you had a fun day, I'm glad :)
What a variety of great pics!! If i ever have to show people what the Mid West of the US looks like, i´ll direct ´em here...feels like being taken back to 1890...(except from the guy in the hoody, that´s way two much forward for that time).
Grrrrreat!
i'm pretty inspired by HOW you acquire a lot of your clothes. I've made it a point to not purchase anything new (just used)going into this spring/summer for the sake of my wallet and because of how awesome thrift store finds tend to be. thanks for all the great inspiration.

These are incredible photos! Everything reeks of sand and expanse.
I think ive been there before when I was young, I can't quite remmeber ha!
btw what area of california do you reside in?
on our conversation, I agree totally, I always get so bothered with these "socialites" if you could call them, that always have party pictures on their blogs on how f-ed up they are and the next skank outfit they are wearing, and I read the comments and people are like "oh I really love your style you are a real inspiration. gah!
but I look at someone like you, or betty from paris, or people who just have a classic style and hold themselves with poise and sophistication and it makes me happy to know there are some exceptional people in the world ;]
so cool. love this photo set, and your outfit, per usual, is adorable.
xo,
