Bodie Mercantile
The town of Bodie was named after Waterman Body who discovered gold here in 1859. Bodie became a prosperous town boasting up to 10,000 inhabitants in the 1880s. It was renowned for its badmen: killings, roberies, stage holdups and street fights were the entertainment in town along with its saloon which the Reverend Warrington saw in 1881 as "a sea of sin, lashed by tempests of lust and passion". Today the town remains in the state of arrested decay it was left in when its last inhabitants left it in the 1940s. The picture above is the interior of the Bodie Mercantile, the main store in Bodie. You can see a phone on a wall, a cofee machine on the right, the store's sign on the floor and many interesting products. Don't forget to press A to have a closer look. |
