Slumming in Butte

On this night our goal was to experience all of Butte's historical places to drink...historical and modern I guess. In addition to the Scoop, we went to Pissers in Walkerville, MT and that was pretty cool, they have Tons of Nascar memorabilia all over and I ended up running into an old friend Shawn K. Lewis.  Not sure at this point how my husband was feeling through all of this. I know my dad was having a great time...  If the situation was reversed, not sure  how I would feel either. But he got a good taste of where I grew up!! I even bought a Pisser's  sweat shirt. I'm excited to wear it this fall/winter when we're on the bike!~ Right now it's 109 here in Yuma so sweat shirts are put away.

The Party Palace was exciting as well, I remember this being a drug store when I was growing up, so for the corner to be a different environment was exciting to learn. 

I ended up reuniting with 2 old friends, it was funny how people recognized me but wasn't sure! There was one who we just kept looking at each other and thinking i know him i know her...........well we did indeed know each other from high school and he knew my sisters. it was fun experiencing all of this stuff.  Today it's a bar I can relate too, It's fun, great people and maybe a bit dangerous for some people but it was great to be there, I just wish i could of met with more people I knew who are still in Butte. 

From the Party Palace we walked up the HUGE MOUNTAIN to Maloneys! Yes to me it was a Mountain because we do not have hills in Yuma, AZ.  I haven't walked Butte streets for years and forgot how challenging it is.  That sounds bad but you all get it.....

At Maloneys I met Charlie, he was super awesome. When I asked to take his picture and to pose he wasn't having it so I expressed that I would just photograph at random, he was ok with that as long as he didn' t  know.  

I LOVED Maloneys, it was so much of my heritage..........then I realized they had thongs for sale....I struggled with that! HA  thank you Charlie for being so awesome!!   You can see the items for sale behind charlie......Aside from that they had some great decor in the bathrooms (wink)

All in all we succeeded to have a TON of fun! thanks to all of who who I reconnected with and the bartenders who put up with my shenanigans. I had a blast!
