Virginia City Mercantile

2009.10.29
My favorite: "English Spoken Here" Thank goodness! After all, this is America.

Just grab a bucket and throw in whatever you like. It's sold by weight




There was a whole section of guns and ammo signs

I think this was my favorite theme!

More of the same

This was the "I Love Lucy" section

I took these for my friend Eric, who's partner John just loves Lucy.

This was classic

I loved the light in this shot

And then there was the Coca Cola section

More of the same

On the same weekend that we visited our dear friends in Sparks, Nevada and went to the Great Reno Balloon Race (my previous post) we also went to nearby Virginia City. Quite the action packed day, but what fun!

Virginia City Mercantile was worthy of it's very own post. I'll post a subsequent Virginia City post later, including historic gold rush saloons, and the Camel Races. Seriously!

You can spend hours in this shop exploring the vintage signs and collections and memorabilia, not to mention the overflowing bins of candy. If you ever go to Virginia City Nevada you have to go check this place out!!
