    I lived in Bisbee three times, '00 to '01, '03 to '06, and '14 to '16. St. Elmo's is actually the oldest continually operating drinking establishment in the state of Arizona. They converted to a "soda shop" during prohibition, and did take-out "soda" during the heart of the pandemic. You must have been there before they opened that evening, everyone I've asked said they're still very much open

    The thing that makes Bisbee look so weird is there was almost no flat ground to build on around the turn of the 20th century. What little flat ground there was was taken up by railroad yards and mining facilities, so residential and retail properties had to build up into the hills, and most retail ended up in multistory building to make up for the lack of buildable lots. Now that the railroad is gone and mining is just about gone there's plenty of flatland available, but there isn't much demand for it after the collapse of Arizona real estate a couple years ago. The condition of the basketball courts is probably due to the town having so relatively few kids. Bisbee is a visibly aging town, with the average age of a resident being 43. Many of the residents came back to Bisbee to retire. Combine that the largest per capita gay population in the state and you can see there aren't many reasons to rehab a basketball court.

    Spending half my childhood in Bisbee and returning there to visit many times as an adult I can say you really captured the weirdness vibe of the town. Lol If you walk portions of the 1000 Stair Climb you’ll see tons of cool unique art and architecture amongst the houses. The stairs themselves are artwork. Loved the video! Thanks.

    I spent a summer here, in 1986. I lived in the older part of town behind the courthouse, on a narrow one-way street just like the one you drove down. What some call "quirky charm" others call a "run down dump". I worked in a co-op grocery store on the main street. Charles Manson once said that if he was ever released he'd move to Bisbee because it's the most like the 60s that he knew about.

    BIsbee, the cheap version of Sedona. Psychic vortex and magnet to the impressionable mind. Now that pot is legal in AZ, this would be a good place to go on a trip that will blow your mind. Since you are doing this type of video, I can only suggest: Jerome, Cornville and Clarkdale. While I have been all over AZ in the 43 years I have lived here, those came to mind rather quickly so there must be a reason. This state has treasures beyond the imagination for those who want the unusual.
    Thanks for exploring Bisbee for us and I, for one, vote for more like this (as well as the malls as both are good).

      It was never like Sedona, lmao- even 30 years ago. An argument can be made that Old Bisbee, on a whole, looks better than it used to due to many property renovations over the years. That last part just shows an old building that's been there forever. Rents and real estate is no longer that cheap, either.

    Years ago there was an annual go kart race down Tombstone canyon every 4th of July. Actually more of a soap box derby. Used to go to it in the late 70s and early 80s.
    Warren and Lowell are also cool parts of town too. Im old enough to remember when the mines were still open here.
    I hope to do a lot of photos while there. Fun video - yes do more! Lots of interesting places in our state.

    I visited Bisbee in 2006. The mayor (or former mayor or some member of city government) had a business giving jeep tours of the town. I got an earful on the history of Bisbee while riding around with him. He admitted he was an "old hippie" and he stopped to talk to a friend who was rehabbing an older home on a hillside. He was an "old hippie", too. They both came to Bisbee in the late 1960s to get away from society and family expectations. They stayed and became part of the establishment of Bisbee, which I thought was ironic. It looks more rundown than I remember.

    Bisbee is a VERY bohemian kind of town. The go carts are remnants are from past coaster races down Tombstone Canyon Road. At the right angle, the Iron Man statue looks like he is holding his private part!! 😱. Lots of great night life and places to eat. THE best pizza 🍕 is at Screaming Banshee Pizza by the Iron Man statue. Be sure to check out the court house. It is in the Art Deco style. The bronze entry doors 🚪 are a work of art! In October, , Bisbee hosts the Bisbee 1000 Stair Climb. Also, some amazing bed and breakfasts to choose from. We have stayed at the Inn at Castle Rock. I believe our room was haunted, as I felt someone “sit on the edge of my bed!”

    I grew up in Bisbee in the 60s and 70s at that time almost everyone worked for Phelps-Dodge. Other than the buildings the town is nothing like it was. As far as some of the things in the video, the park and basketball court I went to Central school 3rd and 4rd grade and we would use that for our play ground. As far as the carts or coasters go on the 4th of july we would have coaster races it started up the canyon it was about 1 and 3/4 mile it ended by the post office and big P D store. Every boy in town couldnt wait until they was 9 or 10 so they could drive in the race. when u signed up you got the wheels and all the rules for building and racing. Bisbee was a good place to grow up, i have been back a few times i miss the feel and way of life of the past

    I just saw your video of Bisbee AZ. I live in Bisbee AZ past the Lavender pit and past the traffic circle to Warren Bisbee.

    Really bohemian grungey rustic ambiance. Can almost imagine Kurt Cobain wandering around in one of his oversized knits peering into an old junk shop window admiring a curio with a snow come or slush in one hand, a Benson and hedges menthol burning away in the other. It has that sort of post industrial decay and splendor to it.

      That's a really nice way of saying shitty and run down. Those streets look like they'd give you AIDS.

    You have a discerning eye. Inspired me to visit. The town's oddness comes thru.

    Oh, wow, I love Bisbee, and it is so, SO weird. The Art Deco courthouse is one of Arizona's most beautiful buildings. My brother and his boyfriend and I tried to convince the wonderful ladies who run a great bakery to change the name to Lesbian Cupcake Factory**, so that gives you an idea of how eclectic it is. It's almost like Tucson with everything normal and boring removed. One thing I'll say is that you have to have an extremely high tolerance for Southwest kitsch, because you will come face to face with Kokopelli and sugar skulls every two feet.
    **Which I still think would be just about the greatest business name ever.
