This month it was renewal time.
But it won't happen, the photo's are just plain bs. The writing ain't much better, they keep on yepping about the person who did write an article.
It might be art in someone's mind, but on page 36/37 is a picture, a close up, of grass.... Now, where are these folks coming from?????

And AZ television... is it about AZ or the lady?

The lady is Robin Sewell, a former TV news Anchor. She owns the production rights to the AZ Highways show which is why she is so prominent on the program. I watch it from time to time, I think the show does a good job of showing off AZ's good side.

long history behind the ADOT-owned magazine originally started in 1926 to promote state road construction and featuring very few pictures and lots of statistics....

circulation has been in a slow, steady decline for many years since the magazine's glory days of the 50s, 60s, and 70s...

being a state history buff, I subscribe to it just to have the collection and I have every issue back to 1942...but it has become stodgy despite efforts to jazz it up with certain modern features....the state legislature occasionally fusses over the magazine's prospects....

I wish they would put all them all on searchable DVD's like National Geographic did several years ago. I'm running out of room to store them.

I subscribed for a couple of years after my first visits to AZ back in the 80s, then I picked up again last year when we decided to move out here. I still like it, but I certainly did enjoy it more 30 years ago. Hard to compete with the Internet.

My aunt had every issue too, from the 1930s on up until she passed away in 2001. I, of course, grew up reading them and I think I liked them a lot more many years ago. They were just 'different' somehow. Maybe less 'sophisticated'?? I don't know what my cousin did with all of them when he cleaned out the house. Sure were a lot of them!

BS in what way? AZ Highways has extremely high standards in the pictures they publish.

The last issue, page 36 37.
Please, tell me what is so great about that picture.

And they try to be so political correct. Check out the magazine's articles in like the 50ties and sixties. Great info about man made wonders.

Long has had beautiful pictures, but there are only so many angles you can shoot Oak Creek Canyon from. I'm pretty sure by now every inch of AZ has been covered in two directions. But I still enjoy seeing the magazine. Will be a sad day when technology and ignorance kills it.

I don't subscribe any more but maybe I'll try to find one on a newsstand to look at. You've got me curious.
