LOMPOC MURALS ~2

Certainly the moral founding fathers of Lompoc's quaint Temperance
Colony did not want prostitutes in their 'clean' town, but with all the
ranches around, and cowboys with a little money in their pockets and
Lompoc the only town for a days ride, it was inevitable that our 'Faire
Towne' would have a couple houses of ill-repute. Why it is rumored that
alcohol was even served in these illegal establishments. This mural shows
the front of a couple houses where in the old days a lonely cowboy could
secure a 'companion' and spend his hard won money.



Yes, Lompoc has never been really famous for it's shopping. Most residents
travel to the north or the south for much of their shopping. This artwork
shows the kind of shops that were common in Lompoc even when I was a
kid, little Mom and Pop stores selling canned beans and corn from Mrs.
Sugars back acre, and Mrs. Pitees' chicken eggs.
