…“ We are in love with everything this morning and talk about good things all the way down a sunlit morning street to a restaurant.“
~400 E. Main Street by Railroad Yard, At Pennsylvania Avenue, Laurel, MT.
The /\ Above /\ Photo shows what ZMM Narrator, Chris and Sylvia, would see as they turned from the Hurzler’s Street (Pennsylvania Ave), and started walking West on Main Street.
….A giant Railroad Switch yard (3rd next photo), which runs parallel to Main Street, is to the immediate left in this photo.
..One block ahead at right by trees. is the Hurzler’s nearest restaurant and the only 1968 Laurel restaurant close enough for walking rather than crank up the machines and riding. From the Hurzler it is one shady sunlit block South to Main Street and just over one block West to the Restaurant. Beside it is, you guessed it, a Bar!!
….The Tall Brick Building with yellow bricked-in windows, is the Old Yellowstone Hotel, probably for the paying Railroad Passengers, rather than Railroad Employees…. On close investigation this hotel does NOT fit the clues re the ZMM Hotel in Laurel. The back (and sides) of this building did not have any evidence of having had an earlier rear second level porch. For example, I did not see at the second level; doorways, old mounting bolts, flashing, water stains, etc. Nor was there any places to have had a porch on account of a close adjacent street, close adjacent buildings, and a tight fitting alley at rear, etc.
