Bill and I kept asking ourselves that question as we visited Flagstaff, AZ. It's a college town, we get that, but no old folks? Really? It seemed strange. Don't get me wrong, the young folks were really nice to us. They were really polite. Bill thinks they must get $4500 a piece for old people at some kind of "clean up Flagstaff and put 'em in a nursing home" program. I am not exaggerating......no one had gray hair and wrinkles. Weird.
Flagstaff was a charming and clean city. Those kids keep it up real nice. Here's a photo of some back alley....
Nice and clean!
There are lots of great old hotels with some great old signs. Old Route 66 runs through the middle of town.
We found a great spot for lunch full of locals (all young of course) called MACY'S. The cuisine was "organic fresh veggie" and I had a world class sandwich filled with cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives, cream cheese, two different kinds of mushrooms and sprouts on two slabs of homemade wheat bread. Outstanding. They roast, grind and brew their own coffee which was delicious. Interestingly, the man who took our order was sort of old but not really. His hair was gray and in a long pony tail with blue and pink stripes. He had a casual relaxed way about him and a smile that would knock you out. No wrinkles. Was he old? Was he young? Some kind of hybrid Flagstaff-ion experiment? We will never know.
Off to Sedona tomorrow!
