[Sean Conway, 09/25/2020]Just drove by the Barber Ship and it is now "Aspen Personal in Home Care." The building is still there, but not a barber shop.
[Joe Traveler, 07/17/2014]Devastating loss of a roadside pun.
I saw someone else had mentioned "The Barber Ship" and I happened to drive right by it on my way to Coeur d'Alene. The building looks like a sinking ship! Very cool! It wasn't open when I was there but I peeked in the window and it looks like they have the whole "ship motif" going on inside, as well as outside. Very unique place!
