While driving along Hwy 395 paralleling the Sierra Nevada mtns in southern California, we happened to stop at an old (iron?) mining town for lunch. A small little town, at least what remains of it, that has kept some of it's historical past. There was a mining "museum", but only the outside yard was open. That's where we found this old steam engine.

There were several old store fronts along the main street and this barber shop caught my eye.

    I'm sure they would like you to! :D

    I think it adds to the shot and makes you think about the reasons why.
