Butte is a medium city, with a ghost town at its heart. Built by billions of dollars worth of copper, all the buildings were built with no expense spared. Many buildings are now boarded up, and some burned down. A few of them are still doing a quiet business. We stayed at the Finlen, where Nixon and Kennedy once stayed, but now costs about $50 to stay. You can feel yourself going mad barrelling around the building.
We took a walking tour of town. We saw a very well hidden luxury bar from the prohibition era. The old jail had a rubber hose, and some knuckledusters in the "interrogation room".

knuckledusters were standard issue for the Butte police. -->
