Moved to Flagstaff in '79. Used to be a pretty cool little town. Now, it's like a one cloverleaf mini version of San Francisco but with lousy restaurants. They could save money on signage by taking the "l" out of the town's name.
(I live kind of out in the woods and try to ignore the place as much as I can.)
I understand Bisbee is a hippie reservation. Flagstaff is like a Trustafarian Mecca. (If you're too poor for Telluride or Vail.)
I guess we actually have several towns that fit that bill. I'm going to have to go look at another article, because I could swear my local paper said something about 2 years prison vs. 10...
Amen to that! Got stuck there for the night some years ago, and couldn't get breakfast; none of the local places were open on Sunday morning, and the Denny's was closed for maintenance & repair. Truck stop coffee, and then we finally got to eat at Gallup.
"I understand Bisbee is a hippie reservation."
Hippies and a main crossing area for illegals from what I hear.
