Stayed the night at the Clown Motel. The staff is mega friendly.

Savor the Clown Motel. Travelers who only stop to snap sign pics don't know what they're missing.

The Clown Motel

Cemetery has a sign over the entrance that states "1901-1911," yet is surprisingly large and has a lot more buried here than you might expect for such a small town.
