Not too many people stop at Sinclair who are just passing through. But at one time that wasn't true. And that's why the town has what was once a luxury hotel (now a Baptist church), a spacious park, really nice tennis courts, and the like. Only the sign on the hotel remains, as well as a historical monument, to remind us that Sinclair is the town's second name. It was originally Parco, a company town founded by the founder of what is now the Sinclair Refinery, the Producers & Refiners Corporation.
Used to play golf on the company golf course (open to the public) until a few years ago - after golf there was a fine Mexican Restaurant in town. Have not been there for six or seven years now. Nice little town.
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican restaurant is Su Casa. It's excellent. There's another excellent one in Rawlins called Rose's Lariat. There was at one time a bit of a rivalry between the patrons of the two as to which was the best, although they are both excellent.
