I was told me to check out Langston's Western Wear. The building was originally a dance hall/bar with "hotel" rooms upstairs.

It was a small dark room with large overstuffed chairs and the trophy heads of many animals Doctor Bunker had killed over the years. It was such an eerie place to sit that it took my mind off the inevitable penicillin shot I would always receive.
