The Big World

It started with a trip to Kansas

Day 2: St. James Hotel

  • The St. James Hotel has a storied past in what seems to be a wild place in the new Wild West
  • The marker at the corner of the hotel verifies that.
  • And what self respecting Wild West hotel would not have a stuffed buffalo head, I ask?
  • My beer was a local stout which was black as ink. The bar staff was still talking about the prior night’s crowd which finished off 2 kegs and most of their bottled beer. This is not a college town.
  • The list of prior patrons is pretty impressive
