I had to laugh at the section listing Douglas as some kind of winter resort. In 1949, Douglas was perpetually covered in fumes belching forth from the stacks of the Douglas Reduction Works, a huge copper smelter that continued belching until the copper ran out in 1987. The town has always been a typical gritty mining town, the sole exception being the now partly restored Hotel Gadsden. It’s a lovely old hotel, rebuilt in 1929 after a disastrous fire destroyed the original 1907 structure. The Italianate marble lobby alone is well worth a visit, amazingly out of place in the midst of the howling desert. The climate is downright awful, cold in winter and hot in summer, with a never ending wind. The town has sunk further into poverty as the smelters closed down and is now about 85% Latino, mostly recent immigrants from Mexico. It’s a good place to practice your Spanish, the lingua franca of Douglas these days. The other place of interest is the old El Paso and Southwestern Railroad station, now incongruously used as the local police station and lockup. Visitors are welcome, but you have to show ID, and they run you for outstanding warrants. Anyone who shows up with a warrant will be spending the night at the Gold Star Hotel. 🙂 The rails are long gone, ripped up in the 60’s, but much of the grade east of Douglas is easily traceable.
