A Real Western Saloon

And the dog is oblivious to the goings on of humans. :lol:

 

So one guy brings along his pool cue. The guy next to him appears to be pouring a drink from a jug and the guy next to him is also pouring a drink. It almost looks like they are trying to send a message. 
 

I found that photo here:

At least it was a "family" saloon.

That was before the liquor laws we have today were invented.

 

If you had the money and were tall enough to lay it on the counter, you got served.  It wasn't unusual for kids to get sent to the saloon to buy a bucket of beer or a bottle for their parents.

 

Sort of like how kids used to be sent into the store to buy smokes for their parents.

I'm just amazed at how quick the exposure time was. I can see grown men standing still for the long exposure. Possibly even the kids, if they were threatened enough, standing still for the long exposure. But the dog didn't move?
