Welcome to Steins Pass, New Mexico, USA. This is the real deal, a historic town standing much like it has for over 100 years in the wild west. Bad guys still come into town now and then. The owner of this place was murdered here a few years ago. Drug runners come through on the freeway and up from Mexico every day. Cars rush past it on I-10 and the trains don't even stop here anymore, but it remains, day in and day out, a silent witness to the decades. An interesting page that tells more can be found here:

Someday, I will knock on the door of the new owner and ask for permission to come inside the fence and sketch this place. Those tiny, stalwart buildings need to be put into a painting. One of these days..
