Crossroads Barber Shop

Welcome to the Crossroads Barber Shop. A haircut and a shave were a bit less in the 1930s than today.  Take a look at the price sign in the far corner above the sink.

You might be wondering why the fellow in the hard hat is snoozing. Well, during the boom a quiet and dry place to sleep was a luxury. This might be the comfiest place this fellow has slept in weeks.  In a booming boomtown, you sleep when and where you can!

If you'd like to hear a couple of stories from the barber, step around the corner and enter the post office.
