“I’m your huckleberry.” Doc Holliday, Tombstone movie — Great #quote I read on @johnrobinson‘s Facebook wall’s Info tab.

What #Tombstone was, what movies say it was, and what it actually is – are all very different things. I visited. It’s a poor man’s Disney.

In #Tombstone there are fake grave markers. It was a harsh place to live. They took to survive. People died. The fake markers emphasis that.

I miss the candy stores in #Tombstone. Old fashioned candy, hard to find candy. Not at all like Disneyland.

In #Tombstone the theater seats were too small for me, at age 12. Stunted people must’ve crowded in for the local show.

You could pay to ride the carriage (I never did). There were stones in the shops. Native garb, tshirts, other things.

@johnrobinson You’re my huckleberry. You’re the editor responsible for my continued awareness of News & Record. Otherwise it’s a #Tombstone.
