Jay Em, WY (0624)

Jay Em, Wyoming, a very small village in eastern Wyoming. Per Wikipedia (link at end), this was the center of the village and the tall building on the left was a restaurant - feed store - general store - post office. The town was a service center for local ranchers from 1915 through the 1930's, but with the advent of the automobile and easy travel to larger towns (Lusk), the town went into decline. I saw no explanation for why the main street was so wide or if it was ever paved. The dog was the only sign of life that I saw and was, fortunately, friendly.
