While out exploring Angola, NY I stopped at a restaurant called Desperados. http://www.desperadosbarbecue.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They have good track side visibilty and is worth the stop if you're in the area. It is basically a cowboy, western theme.

While waiting for my food, I looked around and noticed a table with old western based magazines with a publishing date of 1965. Some interesting stuff in them. I came across this article about hobos. Snapped a picture of it.

Very cool find. I have always loved the "hobo graffiti" from yesteryear.
