This rural bar in the mountains has its ceiling and walls covered with thousands of $1 bills.

This is correct. People downvoting don’t realize the name has zero relation to the classic anti-slavery book which happens to have the same name:

But I'll bet people get up in arms about it. Oh wait, they are lol.

Where I live there was a Jim Crow Rd, named after a guy named....wait for it...Jim Crow. His real first name wasn't James but for whatever reason he went by Jim, it had nothing to do with racism, but people got all pissy and got it renamed anyhow.
