Silver mines, brothels that ran until the 1990s, a highway battle that saved a whole town, and a firefighting hero who invented one of the most iconic tools in history. Wallace, Idaho has it all. In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, Jody takes us through the quirky, fiery, scandal-filled history of Wallace, a town that declared itself the Center of the Universe, and you can&rsquo;t disprove it.
Grab your pickaxe (or Pulaski tool), because we&rsquo;re heading down a rabbit hole where mining strikes, infernos, and bordellos collide in the Silver Valley.
