Three boyhood memories about Butte, Montana. Stay with me.
First, the uptown shopping district. Its crowded sidewalks and tall buildings impressed me as a big city. The first escalator I rode (and probably saw) was in Hennessy’s, the department store at Main and Granite. A later rash of fires left gaping holes in uptown. I’m thankful for remembering the district when it was more complete.
