A Ghost Town in the Sky

These photos were taken in Jerome, Arizona, a small town perched precariously on a steep mountain side at 5,000 feet. The town once had 15,000 residents during a copper boom in the late 1800's. It now has just 400 residents- made up of ex-cowboys, artists, granolas, and other characters who've been drawn there by the strangeness of the town. Most of the shops and restaurants have "laxed" hours- meaning they're open when they they're in the mood. There is a "haunted hamburger" restaurant that claims to have several regular customers who've been dead for 100 years.
