Saloon token

[nova]

Hello folks! I thought I would share this saloon token. I have researched it and posted a little news of the establishment, This is probably the most exciting thing about tokens, is finding and researching them. I.m hoping the historic building is still standing on 25Th ST. If it is that would be neat to show the owner a piece of history of the place and maybe give me tour.



Enjoy,

Nova.

That sucks! I knew there was some new construction but was hoping the building was still there,
looking forward of checking it out. Can't win em all
