My mother and grandmother grew up in the downtown area of Phoenix. Camelback rd was as far north as it went. They had trolly cars in the downtown area. My grandmother did not drive so that is how they got around from store to store. The Orpheum was the only movie theater. I also grew up in Arizona in the old part of Glendale and it was all farmland and desert. It was wonderful, we rode our horses everywhere. I rode around the area where the Cardinal stadium is located now. It was a better time. Now they paved the desert and farmland is gone, more people, more asphalt and the temps are a lot hotter now.
God bless those days. I wish they were still here. Nowadays, people have no morals, no value, no compassion, no love, no trust, no belief in God people don't sit down to eat dinner. It's electronics, and on the go all the time
I love my reborn state Arizona gods are in the he people brain 🧠 and knowledge is the real keys to the heavens pass president and Future is a blessing God loves never a hate the future 2024
Granny was alive when Arizona was the way it was. Watching this now interests me.
I remember going to the theater just to get in air conditioning!! 35 cents well spent on a Saturday afternoon.
In Safford during special days a child's admission was lowered to 25 cents at the nicer theater and 10 cents at the older one.
Thank you for preserving this piece of Arizona history.
I remember swimming in the irrigation ditch in Safford.
Thanks for sharing your memories!

If metro transit kept the electric cars they would have saved the taxpayers $3 billion
