... just outside Bisbee, Arizona that's in a state of "maintained neglect" with old cars and such to appeal to visiting photographers. I think it was abandoned in the 1940s as fortunes and population ebbed and flowed in the mining community. But yeah, what's left is the mostly shuttered main street.

I think it's a reference to the old car. Cars sure hold up better in drier climates than the do here in the midwest. mobeau69 Friday #3
