[edit] Ghost town?
How, exactly, can a town with a population of over 1,500 be classified as a ghost town? Just curious. --Hn 01:15, May 4, 2005 (UTC)

It's a "look and feel" thing :). History may recur first as tragedy, then as farce, as Hegel and Marx said. But even THEY didn't add that the second or even third time tends to be theme-park type tourist trap. A lot of the "ghost town" of Tombstone today is about as real as a Disney ride. Every time I visit, it seems there are new 120 year-old historic features. Golly. Sbharris 02:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lady Banksia
Can anyone add a section about the "Lady Banksia"? It's the world's largest rosebush, planted 4 years after the "shoot-out". I'd do it but I'm not so good at formatting, etc. Thanks, TRCunning
