Day 133
Bohemian Club
August 6th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
I’m sure this is where Bohemian Rhapsody was written (or at least was the inspiration.)
I can hum it and rewrite the lyrics…. Matt is the walking champion our friend… he’ll go on walking to the end… he is our champion, he is our champion….
Did you get to meet Edie Brickell there?
Does it meet in the basement?
Cool! I know the secret knock too. ;-)
Congrats John in MI for being #1 – I’m #5 – been following Matt for a while but usually my comments are at the bottom! Love Bohemian Rhapsody – was a big Queen fan back in the day!
Lori, it was the weirdest thing today. I happened to check in on Matt at the exact time he was uploading pictures, so the new ones just kept coming. Every time I’d post a response, there’d be another new shot. I felt like I was at an ATM that was pumping out money. I must admit I did feel a bit like a first-poster-hog; apologies to the hobo planet.
This little place looks pretty dried up. So does the one across the street. I like old buildings though. Nice pics Matt and nice catch. Hey, researches out there, what can you find on these places? Anyone? Locals?
The “Bohemian” was a tavern, it shut down 20-21 years ago, and is now owned by a guy here that does woodworking. Very talented guy who has a big contract with a very very famous person, but we’re not allowed to say her name, it’s in his contract that he can’t say who he is working for. The bldg across the street has been several things, grocery, cafe…The library was the city hall, city hall/library, now just library. We have a new city hall bldg.
“Secret Bohemian Woodworking, Inc.” *L* How far outside of Spokane are you guys, Jeanette?
Is it in your contract too? you’re a big tease….
Not in mine, it’s a big joke, because he tells everybody and swears us to secrecy, so we just use her initials O-DUB. Get it?
No, he doesn’t do work in there. Mostly storage, he has another bldg in town, used to be the city shop. Hmmmm
Janine, Endicott is about 70 miles south of Spokane.
