Welcome to Hot Springs

I spent labor day in the surprisingly pleasant and not so surprisingly white trash, Hot Springs Arkansas.

One side of downtown Hot Springs is dominated by about seven bathhouses, which were all built around the turn of the century. All of the bathhouses are very attractive buildings that are maintained by the national parks service. The other side of the street is a different story. All are very nice Victorian era window shops. It's what inside them that is kind of sad. NASCAR, Get 'Er Done paraphenalia, camoflauge items and, for some reason, swords are big sellers this town.
