I drove out to the Globe area this morning and compared to what it was like 6 months ago----------I swear the place is dying.

Many empty storefronts, etc.

Word has it the mines that opened back up out there are not spending all that much $$$ locally.

I was contemplating moving out that way but now------------no dice.

Suffice to say: Phx; despite all of its major flaws, is looking better and better for me to stay here.

How can Miami-Globe be dying when all those Freeport McMoRan copper mines are back in action?

Did you see the part about the empty storefronts in my post? Also; several business owners at the local tire shops all commented on how slow things have been in the last few months. Word there has it that the mining companies do not spend that much $$$ locally for supplies.
