Indoors, this is another southwest souvenir shop, albeit a big one with a large fireworks section. But the outside of the building presents a long false front painted to look like a row of Old West storefronts. It's a quirky and amateurish roadside weenie, with extra credit for the slightly creepy faces on the life-size human figures. No idea when it was done, but it's been there for a very long time.
