"Funky town is the home of the players and pimps! where the funk don't stop! Funky town Texas!"
Only this time we were in Funky Town Arizona! As in Jerome, Arizona, elevation 5300 feet.... "How high are you?" Millions, probably billions of dollars of copper and gold have come out the Mingus mountain with over 90 miles of mining tunnels in the late 1800's. Then Jerome became a "ghost town" for years. Now the old buildings have been converted to artsy-fartsy gift shops, restaurants and saloons. Very rustic, very funky.
Yes, Funky Town, Jerome was the home of the "players," who were the miners and some cowboys. There were plenty of bordellos for the "pimps" to keep busy. Thankfully, this ghost town has been revived so it's "where the funk don't stop. Funky Town!"
