Forget the commute...Phoenix is about 80 miles one way. Globe is an old mining town and not much to look at, it snows a little in the winter, but it has restaurants and a Walmart. It borders the San Carlos (Apache Indian) reservation, so if you want a casino nearby, I guess that would be a plus. I know several people who live there that like it, but it's not for everyone. It's never appealed to me.

I don't know anything about the a/c business, but I gotta believe you could find work...it does get a little warm here in the summer.

And the road to Globe is a twisty two lane very scary road... the folks that do commute somewhere are throwing safety to the wind in their hurry to get home!

takes50minutes, I have to disagree with you somewhat. I patrolled US60 from Mesa to Superior for 21 years...

The road is fine; From the tunnel to Top of the World it's actually a fun drive because of the curves;

It's the DRIVERS that are scary!!!
