A Day in the Town
You never know who might be surfing the web and looking at Bisbee. I have heard people say that everyone in the world know someone from Bisbee, and some days I think it's true. I hope this Bisbee Blog will be of some interest to someone out in the ether of the net.
I am a Bisbee native and there aren't that many of us left in the old town. I live about a block from the house I grew up in, and although the old neighborhoods are changing I am very glad to be able to still live in the old town.
I hope to post images and interesting bits about life in the old town which is very interesting right now. Most of the streets are torn up as all of the sewer pipes are being replaced.
Please give feedback as I would like to hear what you think, and what you might want to know about Bisbee.
If you found this on a search you may already know something about Bisbee. For those of you who don't, Bisbee is a mining town in the extreme southeast corner of Arizona. Founded in 1881 it was a copper mining boom town and at one time the largest city between Santa Fe and San Francisco with a population of about 33,000 just before the turn of the century.
The mines closed in 1974 and the town has become an artist colony and retirement community. It is up in the mountains at an altitude of over 5000 feet. The homes are built up on the mountain sides. My house is a B address which means I am one house removed from the main street and the houses running up the hill behind me end with G.
I will get a picture or two up in the next few days.
