Bisbee's Main street.

An old copper mining town. (That's a spike in his hand.)

People really like to pimp their businesses here.

Basically, it's a town of artists.

And alternative businesses.

And they speak their mind.

The Airstream trailer motel.

Bisbee's also known for their meandering stairways. (Many are disused.)

Empty lots get used up too.

Nature zones aren't far away.

And they love to pimp their homes too!

It's a peaceful place.

When it comes to weird Arizona, Bisbee is its capitol. What was once a thriving copper town of more than 25,000, is now home to less than a third of that population — now mostly demented artists and others who enjoy peculiarity with their isolation. But if you’re driving anywhere near the Mexico-New Mexico borders, a stop at Bisbee is a must.

More on Bisbee please. Tip: Try Screaming Banshee Pizza or the Bisbee Brew Pub!
