Were convenience stores a thing back then? I know they had general stores, which kind of had everything but grocery, but I thought convenience stores didn't pop up until after gasoline was a thing.

What would be the fanciest place in this town? I get that it's kinda out in the middle of nowhere.

A hotel perhaps? Not that it'd be used much, but the only bar in town is the saloon. Maybe a small tea room?

Would the saloon have rooms above it?

Yes. The saloon mistress lives there and houses any of her girls who don't have homes of their own.

I guess I was asking because I want Miss Nock to have just arrived in town. I think it would be fun if she had to stay at the saloon for a few nights.

whether there is a proper hotel or not.If there's not a hotel, Midge would accept boarders, but she'll gouge customers for everything she can get to take them in.
If there is a hotel, Midge will only accept boarders who 1) are really convincing, 2) pay her a lot of money, and 3) can't get a room at the hotel for one reason or another.
Hope that helps you decide. =)

Yep! I can read it now. =) It was just the font size for me. I have really bad eyes, and I couldn't read the small print. The color is ok!

Oh, woops. I should have clarified from the start. No, the code seemed okay. Just the font size was tiny is all.

Gosh, I don't know what to write next. I hate to write post after post about someone's grooming habits.
