The old* Archie McFee's on Stone Way - where I became a customer. I used to drive a car load of weird junk** up to make still lifes in their photobooth; no they never bothered me.

Anyone remember Ruby Montana's Pinto Pony, across from the Smith Tower? That was a great place. Update: Ruby Montana now owns an authentic 1950s motel in Palm Springs. There's a picture of Ruby Montana's Pinto Pony on the website.

*They moved to Ballard, and now to Wallingford.
**Coals to Newcastle, yes indeed.

I had no idea that that horse was Ruby Montana's, thanks for sharing that tidbit.

My parents were good friends with Ruby Montana. I think my mom harbored a secret crush on him because she always giggles when I ask about him. Somewhere, I have a picture of her sitting atop the pinto with Ruby's hand on her ass.

Wait a minute...I think I made a mistake...your Ruby is a woman and the one I'm talking about is a man and I don't think we're talking surgery here...maybe mine was Rudy Montana....must call my Mom...

Hah! that's a great story anyway. Hey, I've been thinking about you and have looked in on your blog from time to time - I'd better run over there to see if you've posted.
