Kingman, AZ


We have arrived in Kingman, AZ.

A long drive across Nevada took us through such exciting places as Tonopah, Goldfield, Beatty, Searchlight, and Schurz (as well as some less-exciting places like Las Vegas).

Additionally, I probably saw at least 20 cop cars along the way. Almost all with their own little small-town-speed-trap victim.

Apparently, businesses here in Kingman are not very creative in how they compete. Here in the section of town where we are staying, there are two different Best Westerns right across the street from each other, as well as two Chinese-American food places right across the street from each other. The question is: do I eat at Lo's Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge or ABC Buffet? Or do I try to avoid food poisoning altogether and go for a more "generic" fast food place? Decisions, decisions.

The Best Western reader boards should each have a statement declaring 'Less hookers than that shithole across the street!'

Then each week they escalate...

You'll be pleased to know that Kingman now boasts two Denny's restaurants...both located across the street from one another AND three McDonald's, two of which are...ACROSS THE STREET FROM ONE ANOTHER! For purposes of full disclosure, one is inside Walmart while the one across the street is a stand alone building with a drive-thru and jump ball pit or whatever the hell you call it.
