I had heard my wife talk about the Dairy Mart and its famous hamburgers. I was surprised at the different hamburgers they sold there. I had to order the Jumbo Frito Burger. When I ask the hop girl what it contained she looked at me like I was the only person on earth who had never ordered a Jumbo Frito Burger. My wife ordered a Jalapeno Burger and a milk shake. They were very good!

We drove to the Dairy
Mart and parked under the canopy. It was about 100 degrees in the
sun and about 98 in the shade. The food was great, but they don't
sell diet anything. If you are ever in Pecos, you've got to eat
at the Dairy Mart!
We found this old
Southern Pacific Mechanics building in the 100 blk of Elm. This
is where they use to fix the railroad cars. It would make a nice
night club if it was fixed up.
The metal stairs are
still in good condition and we were able to climb all the way to
the third level. It is kind of spooky there.
My wife took me by
this house on W. 7th St. Her cousins use to live here and this is
where she hung out as a teenager. Making the trip back to Barstow
was too much on the weekends, so Saturday nights were spent in
Pecos.
This is the Home of
the Eagles! Ishmael, Elfie (my wife)and Bertha posed infront of
the Eagle Stadium. Not much has changed. Brings back memories?
My wife was talking
about Rocket Park and I asked her why they called it that. She
told me there was a rocket there. I had to see it! Well not what
I had pictured, but it is a rocket.
Our last stop was at
the center of entertainment in Pecos! The State Theater. It was
reopened just recently and shows movies on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. It was closed in the mid 70's. If anyone knows more
history on this buildings send me an E-mail and I will post it
for others to read.
THANKS FOR VISITING
COME AGAIN!
