Hemingway was described as unusually hesitant, disorganized, confused & his eyesight was failing. He was concerned about money, missed Cuba, his books, and his life there, & was afraid he'd never go back. Hemingway became paranoid, believing the FBI was actively monitoring his movements in Ketchum. Under an alias he was admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where he was treated 15 times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) . Hemingway said, "What is the sense of ruining my head & erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure, but we lost the patient" Two days later Hemingway unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer, put 12 shells in the shotgun, put the end of the barrel into his mouth, pulled the trigger & blew out his brains here.

Going through town you'll see the hill with every year painted on it since.. 1930? Maybe I saw 26 too. All I can say is that the fact that we can see spray paint from 100 years ago is testament to their lack of precipitation! Not a lot of weathering going on on that hill. Some may say it's a little tacky, but I say, good for you, Arco! You have an Art Installation!

That being said Arco is pretty dull and could be more interesting. It really could be more interesting, but Google maps was bored as soon as I arrived. The apps on my phone were pointing out events in Spokane, Washington. There are a few points of interest yet they are as unknown as the fact that Arco is the first town in the country that has power from a nuclear plant. What makes this town a little sketchy is that you don't know if there is radiation. Most people suspect a leak, but the government is indicating that nothing is wrong. Next time I come I'm probably going to bring a Geiger counter. What is really interesting is when you are just a few minutes outside of Arco you see all of these numbers on the side of the hill. It was a little shocking, but as I got closer it looked similar to the graffiti on the way to the Black Canyon Dam. I asked one of the locals. He chuckled and explained for a while the adults were irritated with students going up there to spray paint the hill, but eventually the adults started to take pride in this graffiti. They take so much pride in this they even have post cards of this hill in the store. Besides the hill there are other points of interest. I heard there was a submarine and there are arches. They do have a sign about Atoms for Peace, but it is right next to a baseball field. I think that it is funny that a place like this is right in the middle of all of these national parks and they just decided to use the town as some guinea pig for nuclear power. South of Arco we have Craters of the Moon and Sun Valley and up north are the Tetons. There is much here to see that does not get very much attention. I may come again just to check things out. More reviews to come in the near future.

This place is a nice…read morehistoric gem; they've restored it/kept it in great condition, including the original theater seats. The parental units were camped at the Glenn's Ferry campground in their monster RV, so we went to a dinner theater show for $30 per person. The meal was fantastic: huge steak, even bigger baked potato, salad, bread, great lemonade, even a little dessert. My meal was so large that I could have split it with another person. The show was cute, though patrons must remember that this is a small-town operation. Don't expect Broadway acting and theatrics; the actors forgot their lines a few times, it was hard to hear some of them (though some of them had mics, some didn't), the acting isn't Tony-award material = it's not an expensive production, so don't expect one. It was a quaint, quirky-in-a-good-way little production though and a nice way to spend an evening with the parental units. I could tell that the actors and theater proprietors care about their little theater and its productions, which made the whole thing special. Overall, I'd recommend this for a nice small-town evening.
