      I was born in Bisbee, Az. It was once considered quite the place to be. Bisbee was a copper mining town with an open pit, which, to this day, still gets lots of tourists. I moved back to Bisbee fourteen years ago. Bisbee is rich in art, diversity, beauty, and great people. Bisbee is a small town where everyone knows everyone and come together in difficult times.

      Bisbee is a beautiful historical town that has become a creative hotspot in the Southwest. Artists and art galleries line the historic Main Street. An old mining community, this town has deep roots historically.
      I would like to see more funding go to the schools of bisbee. There are so many children with so much potential but underfunded schools are hindering their success.
