Delphi’s Bar is the dive bar of choice within the city limits of Empty Valley. Its large purple neon sign sits at a slight tilt on the facade of a squat one-story building. The sign reads Delphi’s in block letters and the wrap around stops at the bottom of the flickering apostrophe making it look like the beginning of a burning wick. The front of the building in total juxtaposition to the sign looks old and venerable. Large glass windows paned into regular squares trimmed with dark wood are framed on opposite ends of a large wooden door. The door twice the width of a regular door is carved in matching fashion to the windows, and a large knocker that also functions a door handle is mounted slightly to the left. Above the door and windows is a large panel that looks like it might have once had the bars name written on it, but now is painted over and slightly obscured by the tilted neon sign. The only thing that can be read on the panel are the purple shadows of the sign. Walking up to the old building, it becomes clear that behind the windows there is some sort of thin fabric to block out the light. The fabric so close to the windows makes them seem dusty, and what looks like a first glance the insides of a bar are actually reflections of the outside world.

Ten Sleep, Wyoming. Named so due to it being located between the main Sioux camps at present day Bridger, MT and Casper, WY. At the time it was a ten day journey, or “ten sleeps” from each site! Most amazing little town!
