Tom's Place is trinitarian: a store, a bar, and a cafe. Tom's Place is on Highway 395 south of Mammoth Lakes and north of Bishop. Beer ads in neon light up the store. Bosoms and butts hang on the walls in the bar. Photos and TV fill the cafe. A history of the place is on the menu. Downstairs are the restrooms, "reserved" for those "with gas." Outside on the concrete deck people read on three wooden benches, one in front of each member of the trinity. A gazebo is attached, decorated with license plates and full of people communing. Beyond it Rock Creek flows by on its way to grace LA.
