So she can't play tourist guide for me.
I read about the 1912 Courthouse shoot out on line, and laughed out loud, thinking this is the stuff of classic old black and white films. Just blown away. I also read about the car and gun flea market. I'll definitely be avoiding that event. Although, it might be an interesting photo shot from a distance.
