Ghost Town - Lowell

Ghost Town

(11 reviews)

I love classic cars and Americana so my husband insisted on bringing me to the so-called "Ghost…read moreTown". Bear in mind, the name on this Yelp listing is deceiving and this is not a ghost town in the traditional sense, but it is definitely a worthwhile stop. This is basically a preserved Street that feels somewhat Frozen in time. It's lined with old storefronts and old signs and some classic cars that give you a glimpse into what it might have been like to live here in the past. It was a little dirtier and more aged than I expected based on the photos I saw beforehand. I was also genuinely disappointed to see people parking 2010 pickup truck and busted up 1990s SUV right in between the classic cars on the street. It really disrupted the immersive vintage feel and took away from what could have been a very cohesive and immersive experience. One of the highlights for me was meeting a resident of the street and his employee who were both incredibly kind. They chatted with us for a bit and shared some history about the area and even offered to take our photo in front of one of the beautiful classic cars parked along the street that I had been oogling when they approached. It was definitely an interesting and unique way to spend an hour or so and it's a completely free and dog friendly activity so that's always a plus for me!

While you wait for your table at the Bisbee Breakfast Club make sure to walk down Erie St in Lowell…read morefor a glimpse into the 1950's. Fascinating how the city keeps it this way like a little time capsule.

Bisbee - Main St by the Copper Queen Library

Bisbee

If you've been considering exploring Bisbee- you definitely should. Don't miss out!…read more Our family lives pretty close by so I've been many times. It's an old miner hippie town with lots of little quirky shops, restaurants and oddities. Bisbee is a day trip- maybe a weekend max. It's fairly small, so don't expect to spend a week here as you will run out of things to do! Come on the weekends when the most shops will be open, and pay attention to hours! Most things open at 9/10 and some shops close at 2, so plan accordingly. If you're coming from out of town, consider staying in bisbee and also hitting tombstone and Lowell. Stay in the copper queen hotel or a cute quirky Airbnb. I'd avoid Bisbee Coffee Company and hit Allan & Co instead. Make sure you go to Patisserie Jacqui and Pussy Cat Gelato. Cafe Roka is excellent for a higher end meal. If you love thrifting/antiquing Bisbee, Lowell and Tombstone have tons of great shops. The hotel is BUZZING at night on the weekends when there's live music and it's a hoot. It's a magical place.

We absolutely loved Bisbee! It was a charming mining town that had views where ever you looked! A…read moremust is booking the Copper Mining Tour, and Cafe Roka, both ahead of time. We stayed at San Ramon which was nice. We walked Main St at night and during the day, both were beautiful. A must is doing at least some of the 1,000 step challenge, you'll get excellent views from it. And you must eat breakfast at Bisbee Breakfast Club and walk through Lowell as you wait for your table to be ready. Afterwards, walk to Dot's Diner for a float or milkshake, and checkout the Shady Dell.

Tombstone - There are stage coach rides around town

We absolutely had to visit Tombstone while road tripping through the area. This is a great little…read moreold timey town and because we visited during December, it was decorated for Christmas and even had carolers in costume singing on the streets. It definitely makes you feel like you are walking through history. We happened to arrive in the afternoon and spent the first hour or so walking around checking everything out. When we were ready to take a stagecoach ride and do some of the activities like the OK corral, a lot of things were already closing down for the day. I wish we had known that beforehand so that we wouldn't have been such lollygaggers . We did meet a cowboy on the street near the old wild West town who said that Tombstone is a "strange place" that pretty much shuts down by 4:00 p.m.. He said the bars and restaurants would be open until about 8:00 or so and then the town would be totally dead, but that we should definitely return in the morning for the wild West shows and shootouts. We were able to do a couple of things and decided to spend the night, but we were actually able to make a reservation for a different activity in the morning so we headed out. Still we enjoyed our time in Tombstone and definitely recommend a stop here, especially if you're in the area.

A community that has created an amazing experience for tourists…read more Real life characters roam the dirt streets to add ambiance. Take a trolley ride to learn the history. Watch the shoot out at the OK Corral. Enjoy a local brewed beverage.... Sarsaparilla or ale. Enjoy music and a drink on the salons. Shop in the many shops.

The roads and all city public places and parks are well maintained and all is safe. I could go on about city management how great the community is - suffice it to say Douglas is a great town to visit as you go around southern Arizona touring and a wonderful place to live !

So why would I come to this small little town that has a population of 18,000? Easy, my mom grew up…read morehere. Every time someone gets married, has a baby, dies, or Memorial Day Weekend stroll's along, I tag along for the 13 hour drive from Los Angeles. It's definitely not an easy trip, especially when my Dad drives like 60 mph on the free empty road, and there's hardly any radio signal well I guess I can't really complain. This town, which is rich with history and encompasses what it means by "small town" is definitely a little town that should be visited...even though there's not much to do. The people are scarce but they certainly have character--the old men in their cowboy hats, big belt buckles and plaid shirts and the women with their big hair and big ass nails well...it's awesome. Hey, if you need a truck ha well everyone owns one! What else? It's the last US town before you hit Agua Prieta, Mexico! If you have a passport I say you hop across the border and take a look around. Pick up some fresh made tortilla's, get some Mexican ice cream, oh and please don't cross the border if you don't 1. Know Spanish, 2. Don't look somewhat ethnic, 3. in a nice car. Don't be stupid. Alrighty, I hope you visit this place...er uh yeah.

Sierra Vista is a city in Cochise County, Arizona, United States. As of the 2010 census the…read morepopulation of the city was 43,888. The city is part of the Sierra Vista-Douglas Metropolitan Area, with a 2010 population of 131,346. Fort Huachuca, a U.S. Army post, is located in the northwest part of the city. Sierra Vista, which is Spanish for "Mountain Range View", is located 75 miles (121 km) southeast of Tucson and serves as the main commercial, cultural, and recreational hub of Cochise County. Like most of Cochise County it was part of the Gadsden Purchase. At the end of the Apache Wars, with the protection of Fort Huachuca and the completion of the Southern Pacific and El Paso & Southwestern railroads, the San Pedro Valley began to be populated by American Settlers. The first business that opened just outside the east gate of Fort Huachuca was a saloon and house of ill repute owned by John and Ellen Reilly opened in 1892. In 1911, Margaret Carmichael bought the Reilly homestead and business. By 1913, Margaret Carmichael had leased the business back to the Reillys. Oliver Fry and his two oldest sons traveled from Texas on the railroad and settled on 320 acres (1.3 km2) just east of Fort Huachuca in January, 1913. In 1918, the Carmichaels changed the name of the store and named it after the Garden Canyon Sawmill. They also called their Post Office where Carmichael was the postmaster, Garden Canyon. In addition, the Carmichael's built a home across the street from Garden Canyon store, as well as 18 rock houses, on Garden Avenue. From 1927 to 1938, the Frys rented the Carmichael store and ran the post office. The Frys established their own General Store and the first official federally recognized Post office established in 1938 as Fry Post office, so the name of this settlement changed to Fry. When the base was reactivated in February 1, 1954 the base commander Brigadier General Emil Lenzner, pushed for incorporation as both a way to solve the on base housing problems as well as to distance themselves from reputation of "The White City" and Fry Town Settlement, hoping to encourage people to want to live off base in a more family friendly community, away from undesirables like the minorities allowed to live unsegregated in Fry Town. Petitions for incorporation began to be filed in 1955 and were legally accepted in 1956 which included what had been Garden Canyon and Buena but pointedly did not include most of Fry Town as a way in part to keep a Federal Housing Authority (FHA) housing project contacts for housing off post away from the Fry Town area was used as an excuse to incorporate and begin getting a share of tax revenues without having to pay the Fry family for the parts of Fry Town considered desirable and wholesome. In 1955, the first attempt to incorporate and rename the area was rejected, as Fry opposed both incorporating and renaming the town that bore his family name. In 1956, the ballot issue failed 76 to 61. People who owned land outside of Fry's property in the area of Garden Canyon/Overton and Buena, as well as parts of Fry went forward with incorporation and renaming by petition on May 26, 1956, excluding the half-square-mile owned by Fry that included the local red light district called "the White City" as well as off base housing of the African-American "Buffalo" soldier officers families, and other minorities and groups they considered undesirable in the 1950s.They were described as the "Fry People." Sierra Vista was incorporated in 1956. The city is the economic and commercial center of Cochise County, and northern Sonora, Mexico. Sierra Vista annexed Fort Huachuca, a U.S. military base, one of the largest employers in Arizona, and the adjacent community, in 1971. The proposed city counsel held a radio contest asking for names of the proposed town. Marie Pfister the city clerk asked her friend Nola Walker to store the suggestions. When the town was approved, they called Nola for the contest winner, but without counting the votes she told them her personal entry of "Sierra Vista" was the winner. On July 13, 2006 at a special ceremony during the city's 50th anniversary, Nola was granted "clemency" for her misrepresentation of the vote. In 1961 the town grew large enough to have the name changed to a city allowing establishment of a community college. Sierra Vista was the site of the first McDonald's drive thru, which opened in 1975. The owner, Dave Rich, drove the innovative approach to gain the business of the soldiers from nearby Fort Huachuca. At that time, soldiers were not allowed to wear their military fatigues off of the military base.
