Sea wolves. If my Spanish is right. Which is 50/50, to be honest.
Hungry?
A moody Mels
This sign works in this city of trees.
Feeling some ink?
Need a haircut?
Back to the sea, although we’re nowhere near the ocean.
The sign behind “I love Mermaids” is “Hangtown Leathers.” Placerville’s nickname is “Hangtown,” think noose. Not “hey, let’s hang out.”
An excerpt from the city website, “During the gold rush, Placerville was the seat of law and order where criminals met with swift justice often at the end of a rope, hence the early name of Hangtown.”
What do you think of Placerville’s Main Street? If you could visit a shop which would it be?
I think I might drop into the Italian joint hanging behind the Sea Wolves, Sandra! This is a very cool little town. Too bad about the hangers’ history, though. Yikes! That’s not my type of justice.

I agree, Mark! Isn’t it funny that the nickname stuck? Good eye on the Italian place. I missed that.

This town has cool signs, Sandra. I’d like to visit Lobo Del Mar or the barbershop. It’s time for a haircut.

Getting a good rain around here so maybe hold off a bit on this excellent plan for now. Should clear up shortly. Thanks for stopping by Chris!

It looks quite an interesting street. ‘I Love Mermaids’ is a very unusual sign to hang out. Do they sell them by the pint 😉

Ha! That’s a great idea! I was in town early before most of the businesses were open so I didn’t get to explore the shops. But that is a great guess!

Those look like some fun-filled stores and an exciting walk down Main Street. I love the law-enforcement nickname, too. No question about which side of the law I’d stay on. Your artistic eye was spot-on today! 😀
