This Mayor can pound. If this dude wants to blow money on wine, women and song, that is his deal. I am sure the local watering hole appreciates the business in this economy. From the sounds of this town, I bet the Mayor is also the Justice of the Peace, the Notary and the Building Inspector in between doing lube jobs at his garage.

Gila Bend is best known for the Space Age Lodge (Best Western), and the fact that due to a government experiment gone wrong, the town is trapped in a time loop, so it is always the late 1960s there.

And even though Gila Bend is out in the ************* desert SW of Phoenix, it is still in Maricopa County. The Jurisdiction of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. And it is on one of the largest drug and illegal alien corridors in the US.

This is really insulting and inappropriate from a guy who claims to be a Christian. He needed worry, I imagine if Harry gets time off he will drop his money in Las Vegas or Palm Springs or Phoenix and not the mayor’s town.

I hope to be excused for going off topic. The fascinating name of Gila Bend jogged my memory. In 1973 the town was host to the movie making industry. The film was called "The Man who loved Cat Dancing". The town got much business.

Burt Reynolds and Lee J. Cobb along with English actress Sarah Miles got along quite well. Her manager, one David Whiting (poor devil), demanded she not go out to local bars and party. There was a row. On returning in the early hours, Whiting was found dead in the shower . The inquest found it to be a drug overdose. Yet Whiting had certainly been assaulted in some way. A man's magazine went to Gila Bend and did their own inquiry. Dark suggestions were floated about the man being beaten, over his possessive attitude to Miles. Miles blamed the publicity for ruining her career. Whiting`s mother tried to re-open the inquest without success. Gila Bend probably glad to rid itself of the Hollywood crew.

conurbation

Tnx Daily Mail, learned a new word today.

A conurbation is a region comprising a number of cities, large towns, and other urban areas that, through population growth and physical expansion, have merged to form one continuous urban and industrially developed area.

Gila Bend looks like the set of a Hollywood slasher film, complete with rattlesnakes, coyotes, illegal aliens, broken-down trailers, and toothless rednecks. Hardly the kind of party town Prince Harry is used to. :)
