I've spent hours on this one...just a hint would do. Once upon a time, a western town was mighty enough to name itself after one of the largest cities in America, yet it couldn't quite kick up enough...
Tickling the ivories in this tough town is rumored to be a dangerous endeavor. What is the town's name and which author famously reintroduced this comical public notice?
Through Big Mountain Pass and five dollars per was a multi-state bargain and practically sure. Then it got even better. Name the next stop west on the other side of the mountains.... have a few ideas?...
