Taking Chances, Making Changes Finding the Future in Globe-Miami

by Linda Gross “I’d like to show the United States what we can do in historic, small-town Globe,” business owner Blue Saiz says.

Blue and his wife, Lisa, moved to Globe in 2016 as empty-nesters. Blue had retired after working in mining for 25 years but had a passion for detailing.

He’d dreamed for years of owning his own business.

The Saizes chose to move to Globe because of the people they met here on visits. Today, Blue runs a thriving custom fabrication shop that attracts customers across the state, and across the country from Minnesota to Alaska.

Tanner Hunsaker, a third-generation Globe native, operates Western Reprographics, a successful print shop serving the Globe-Miami business community, but his passion for the outdoors led Hunsacker to open a second business in 2023: Topo Joes, catering to outdoor enthusiasts.

The shop sells, rents, and repairs mountain bikes, BMX, and e-bikes and operates a 15-passenger van to shuttle riders to the top of the Pinals. For all riders, backpackers, hikers, kayakers, and overlanders of all kinds, Hunsacker aims to make Topo Joes a place to call home.

“I like seeing people sitting together and creating conversations,” Chef John Wong says.

Wong hails from Ontario, Canada, but his love for food took him all over the world: to Japan, Thailand, Spain, and Portugal. Wong opened his first restaurant in Melbourne, Australia, and a second in Mesa. There he met his wife, Debbie Yerkovich – a Globe native – and they chose to move to Globe to raise their family.

Globe-Miami Community Guide

Wong operates two downtown restaurants – Bloom, serving Asian Fusion, and Bravo Americano Moderno, specializing in European and Asian classics, including pizza. Bravo features long community tables that have become something of a community gathering place.

Wong values the friendships and sense of community he finds here. Having traveled the globe, he is thrilled to be right where he is. “The people in Globe want to be here,” Wong says. “I want to be here.”

Every businessperson in Globe-Miami has their own story and reason for being here. They are continuing a story that started a century and a half ago, when Globe-Miami first emerged as a commercial and economic center.

In Arizona’s early days, our copper mines and the camps that grew up around them attracted large amounts of investment, thousands of workers, and pioneering entrepreneurs, while the mines in turn brought wealth and progress to the entire region. Many influential Arizonan businessmen and political figures got their start here – one reason Globe-Miami became known as “the heart of Arizona.”

Today, Globe-Miami’s location at the intersection of five major highways – connecting us to Phoenix, Tucson, Payson, Safford, and Show Low – ensures we’ll continue to hold a central place in business and tourism.

This Guide encapsulates what it means to live, work, and play in Globe-Miami today. Here you’ll find listings for over 100 local businesses and industrial concerns that serve our community and the surrounding region, as well as spotlights on our Chamber of Commerce, the City of Globe, and the Town of Miami.

Each year the Guide goes out to Chambers and Visitors Centers across the state, including our own Globe-Miami Chamber & Visitors Center. The Globe-Miami Chamber uses the Guide to represent our community at statewide events and makes it available to visitors and tour groups.

The Guide is available at hotels and destinations throughout the Globe-Miami region and can be found in practically every shop, office, and venue – wherever people come together for work or enjoyment, you’re likely to find the Guide, too. Available in print and digital, the Guide is accessible 24/7 all year round.

If you want a good look at the Globe-Miami community and what it means to live, work, and play here, this is the place to start. We hope you’ll share it with family, friends, clients, potential workforce hires, and investors.

The world is on the move these days. People are looking for jobs, investment opportunities, a change in lifestyle, a connection with community. And many are finding Globe-Miami offers all this and more.

Whatever it is that brings you to Globe-Miami, welcome. If you’re looking for a vibe, a vocation, a place to vacation, or a place to invest – this is our story. u

BLOOM – AN ASIAN CONCEPT Once upon a time known as simply Noodles, Bloom was first developed in 1997, in Melbourne, Australia. Our concept encompasses the lessons learned from traditional home cooks and distinguished chefs from across Asia, Canada, and the United States. With this in mind, we labored continuous hours on an Ontario potato farm, we did jumping jacks in Tokyo, ran around the Great Wall, rode endless buses in Vietnam, got lost in Malaysia, bought a fake Rolex in Thailand – and in Singapore, we just ate too much. Our adventures helped us develop our mission statement, which is “back to basics”. It is an idea to enlighten modern cooking with the foundation of healthy meals with no fries on the side.

Our menu is a balance between the Ying and Yang; Flavor and Health.

We call it Asian Fusion.

– CHEF JOHN

We simply don’t add chemical tenderizers or taste enhancers.

Instead we use top-quality products and all-natural fresh ingredients. Our menu is made up of the best selection of the Asian Pacific Rim culinary arts, and that’s what keeps our customers coming back again and again!

HIGH DESERT MIDDLE SCHOOL

CROSS-COUNTRY GOES INTO OVERDRIVE

by David Abbott

Running on empty hasn’t been a problem for High Desert Middle School ever since the beginning of the current school year ushered in a new crosscountry program – and the school apparently won’t be hitting a wall in the near future, either.

The new program, organized and directed by HDMS paraprofessional Rebekah Haverland, has already attracted significant interest from students who enjoy the camaraderie – and the snacks – that go along with distance running.

CVIT DENTAL PROGRAM 15

We know local and it shows!

“I really try to push unity, because it’s a really self-motivating sport. They need to understand that we’re there for each other.

I’ve noticed having this cross-country team has started new friend groups, and the kids are sticking together more.”

– Rebekah Haverland

LLC

Haverland has been an employee with the Globe Unified School District for six years. Last year, she coached cross-country and track and field at Globe High School when that program lost its coach midseason. Cross-country differs from track and field in that it’s purely devoted to running, while track and field in middle school has running as well as long jump, high jump, shot put, and discuss.

A former journalist finds her niche as a research assistant for Bullion Plaza Museum

Gila Monster Construction

By Patti Daley

SOCIETY PAGES 12/13

ee Ann Powers’ desk is littered with stacks of papers and books.

On the wall, there’s a corkboard cluttered with notices and what look like to-do lists, one on top of the other so it’s impossible to know. Sticky notes appear to track personal requests, reminders about upcoming museum events, and a price quote for t-shirts the museum might purchase.

She pulls open desk drawers full of reels of microfilm on loan from the Arizona Silver Belt, which she is digitizing. A computer monitor hooked to the microfilm reader towers above her. As each page of the microfilm comes into view, Lee Ann adjusts the parameters to fit the screen and lightens the page to clean up the muddiness – a result of age. Then, pausing, she scans the page for items of interest before capturing the image and moving on to the next.

Lee Ann works at the Bullion Plaza Museum and Cultural Center as a research assistant, spending most of her time digitizing old copies of local newspapers – the Arizona Silver Belt and Arizona Record.

Her part-time position was initially established through a grant from Freeport-McMoRan, which also paid for the digitizing equipment and library room she uses. After the initial grant ran out, the museum found other grants and funding sources to keep her position.

All Roads Lead to Globe-Miami

Shelby Barrowdale, owner of Gila Monster Construction (GMC), has been into construction all his life and all around the U.S. and Mexico. He grew up here in Globe – here he mostly got into trouble.

“Working in construction probably saved me from that,” he says. “I learned some discipline and structure.”

The business is off to a big start. In what has become a familiar story, GMC is “super booked”. Completing a roof a week for the past couple of years, the company is currently booking two weeks out. For interior remodel work, it’s March.

For Shelby Barrowdale, it feels good to be filling a community need.

“We intend to stay in Globe and provide quality, honest service to the community,” he says. “Help teach people how to do construction, provide jobs.”

The Origin Story

STORY & PHOTOS BY LINDA GROSS

Shelby enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family. He did not play sports in high school. Nor was he impressed by any teacher.

“I was always business-minded, but I lacked direction,” says Shelby. “I didn’t have the right product for sale.”

After high school graduation (GHS 2009), Shelby followed many of the men in his family into construction – his maternal grandfather, great uncles, brother-in-law, stepdad. He got his start doing industrial construction – copper mines and powerhouses. He specialized in electricity.

For ten years he traveled around the U.S. and Mexico, working and learning the trade. His early jobs had him digging holes for the electricians. A decade later he was the senior project manager for Rural Electric. Along the way he built a Lee Ann Powers has had a varied career in broadcast and print journalism, but her latest personal portfolio of single family homes and multi-unit rentals. gig, for the past ten years, has been as a research assistant for Bullion Plaza Museum.

Roosevelt Lake is the largest lake within the borders of Arizona. Located just 30 miles from downtown Globe, 80 miles east of Phoenix, and 150 north of Tucson, it’s the place to go for folks wanting a wet way to beat the summer heat.

“Two and a half hours door to door, it’s a really easy trip up here from Tucson,” says Kim Turk. “I make Globe part of my journey – for lunch, to see friends, to shop.”

She takes the trip monthly during the winter and more often during lake season, which runs approximately May 1 through the end of October – though many lake lovers also spend Thanksgiving there. Semi-retired, Turk often comes up midweek and stays anywhere from two to five days at a time. She stays at her mobile home in Lakeview Park, at the southern end of the lake.

Activity at Roosevelt Lake, the marina and Lakeview Park, she says, has boomed.

Story by Patti Daley. Photos by Linda Gross

The building at 110 Broad Street was the first two-story brick building in town. It stood alone for years. Built by the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) in 1898, the second floor was then, and remains today, the meeting hall of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Globe-Miami.

“There’s a lot of history in this building,” says Greg Parisoff, current lodge President. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”

Sometimes behind glass encasement, but often under harsh light, the second floor holds historical records and ceremonial relics of a social organization once prominent in our society, now struggling to survive.

“It’s a challenge just to keep this beautiful building open and to keep the Odd Fellows going,” says Greg, “not just here but in the whole state. The whole country.”

Creek bank stabilization along Six Shooter Canyon Road targets trees, riles residents

By David Abbott

Ira Dickison’s family has lived on the property since 1965. According to him, his family gave the county an easement to the creek in exchange for a paved road. The lane beside the wash is named after the Dickison family.

Residents along Six Shooter Canyon Road have tangled with Gila County administrators and Supervisor Tim Humphrey’s office for the past few months over a project that is expected to remove a number of large trees from the wash that parallels the road.

There may have already been 18 to 30 trees removed, according to Floyd Krank, who has led the charge to protect the trees being removed in response to the massive flooding in Globe-Miami last July in the wake of the Telegraph and Mescal fires that ravaged the Pinals.

The County has been working with engineering firm J.E. Fuller to create a flood mitigation plan that includes shoring up and clearing streambeds along Six Shooter Canyon Road, Icehouse Canyon Road, Russell Gulch and Bloody Tanks Wash in Miami.

Construction is slated to begin in the fall, after the monsoons have passed, and is expected to be finished by next summer, before the next monsoon season begins.

The projects are being funded by about $13 million through a 2021 supplemental appropriation for the Department of Forestry for wildfire management, as well as a $10 million grant from the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), according to Gila County Emergency Manager Carl Melford, who touched on the project at a June 7 post-fire and flooding Globe-Miami Town Hall meeting at Miami High School.

Mining Is Thriving

by Patricia Sanders

G

lobe-Miami was built on mining – it was discoveries of silver and copper that brought workers, business, the railroad, and economic success to Globe and Miami in their earliest days.

Even Globe’s name reflects its connection to mining – it’s said to refer to an Earth-shaped nugget of silver discovered nearby. And mining continues to drive Globe-Miami’s economy, providing employment, tax revenues, and valued partnerships in community development.

Silver mining came to the area in the 1870s, but those mines played out by 1880 – just in time for the immense boom in demand for copper, needed for wire as electricity and the telephone spread across the country.

Soon, the Old Dominion Copper Company, Miami Copper Company, Inspiration Consolidated, and others were pulling 10% to 12% copper ore from the hills surrounding Globe and Miami and roasting it in furnaces that could hold as much as 200 tons. During the early 1900s, trains were hauling out as much as 2 million pounds of copper in a month. One of the many smelter stacks constructed between 1880 and 1930 can still be seen along Highway 60.

By the time it closed in 1931, the Old Dominion – the area’s largest producer – had mined some 800 million pounds of copper, with production peaking in World War 1. That would make enough 12-gauge wire to circle the Earth 73. times.

The 1950s were a time of transition at Globe-Miami as the old underground operations transferred to modern, open-pit copper mining. Today, Globe-Miami continues to depend on copper mining for its economic livelihood.

More than one in every five jobs in Globe and Miami are related to mining and the production of copper.

In addition to copper, the mines also produce smaller amounts of gold and molybdenum.

The major mine operators in the Globe-Miami region as of 2023 include Capstone Copper, Freeport/McMoRan (FCX), Carlotta Copper, BHP Billiton and Resolution Copper.

Capstone, currently the second-largest employer in the district, contributes more than $270 million annually to Arizona’s economy. Capstone’s Pinto Valley operation features the only operating mill in the Globe-Miami mining district.

Freeport- McMoRan operates a leaching operation, a smelter, and a rod mill in Miami. Its Miami operations generated more than $249 million in economic benefits for Arizona in 2021, including more than $95 million for Gila County.

Freeport McMoRan’s Miami operation has been at the forefront of mining technology for at least 100 years, being among the first to have used vat leaching

and precipitation plants to recover oxide minerals.

With the introduction of SX/EW (solvent extractionelectrowinning) processes in the late 1970s, vat leaching was discontinued, and Miami’s flotation concentrator was closed in 1986.

Freeport- McMoRan's smelter has the distinction of being one of only two operational copper smelters in the United States. The smelter was updated in 1974 to meet Clean Air Act standards and was modernized again in 1992 and 2018. It processes copper concentrate into blister copper and, as a by-product, produces sulfuric acid, which is used in the company’s leaching operations in Arizona, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas.

Freeport-McMoRan’s rod plant opened in 1966, the first to be located at a mine site. It produces continuouscast copper rods from copper produced at the Miami mines and Freeport operations across North America and ships the rod to be made into wire and cables.

BHP Billiton holds a unique niche in the GlobeMiami mining community. As stewards of legacy assets, the company manages mine properties that are no longer operational, including the Old Dominion, Copper Cities, Miami Unit, and Solitude assets. BHP Billiton’s 70 local employees and contractors work to ensure these properties remain safe, stable, and non-polluting. The company monitors 2,500 locations in the area, operates 12 water treatment facilities, and, in 2021 alone, closed 237 open mine shafts.

BHP Billiton is also a major participant in Rio Tinto’s Resolution Copper project, located just east of Superior. Using innovative methods, this project will extract copper from a huge deposit located 5,250 feet underground. Resolution Copper is one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world and has the potential to become the largest copper producer in North America.

Copper is all around us – in the wiring within the walls of our houses and buildings, in our electronic devices, and in telecommunications cables that link the world. The future demand of copper will be anchored by electric vehicles, a 311% increase, renewable energy, a 46% increase and construction, a 13% increase, over 2022 levels. Globe-Miami is proud of the central role it has played – and continues to play – in making the modern world work. u

A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR AL GAMEROS As a lifelong resident of the Globe-Miami community, I have been proud to serve as the Mayor of Globe for the past seven years. The Globe-Miami area is filled with wonderful, caring people who don’t hesitate to help their neighbors during challenging times and celebrate together during the good times.

Sitting in the heart of Arizona at the foot of the Pinal Mountains, our rural community enjoys cooler weather and our location offers residents and visitors alike access to a wide range of outdoor activities, while our Historic Downtown features some of the finest cuisine in the State.

During my time as Mayor, I have been honored to serve alongside a forward-thinking, progressive City Council that shares a common vision of an economically viable community attractive to visitors seeking adventure or potential residents looking for a home away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

With an attitude of Globe Forward, we are aggressively moving towards our goals as we work to provide improved services and quality of life for all citizens of Globe.

Our vision for the future has remained consistent throughout the past half-decade with the creation of our Community and Economic Development Department in 2018, and our investment into infrastructure will serve this community now and for future generations.

In creating partnerships with government agencies, private entities and citizens groups interested in making Globe a more attractive and business friendly community, we have enhanced traditional sources of funding with grants and sweat equity from our citizens.

Thanks to the work and commitment of our staff, we have pursued many sustainable projects that are now coming to fruition.

In order to finance future growth we have received grants from several state agencies to rebuild bridges and improve public spaces, and we also plan to build a new centrally located fire department facility to replace our 100-plus year-old fire station.

Additionally, City Council recently went to Washington DC to lobby for even more funds for other vital projects, such as replacing near century-old sidewalks and creating safe and user-friendly recreational opportunities.

The values of hard work and commitment that our community has learned from its heritage of mining and

Despite the difficulties we’ve encountered due to the COVID pandemic and a series of natural disasters, we have not wavered in our economic development efforts, tourism, and marketing.

We recently completed a $5 million overhaul of our community pool and extended city sewer services to our community center and are on track to create an allinclusive and family friendly meeting place for all to enjoy.

Other visible signs of progress are popping up around town as well. We have actively invested in our City parks—Globe now has more parks per-capita than any other city in Arizona—and a key development at the entrance to our historic downtown is underway.

The Hill Street School Housing development is a $22 million facility that will offer 64 affordable units to our seniors and make the southern entrance to downtown more inviting. We are also exploring building opportunities on the northeast side of town in an effort to create more housing to attract professionals who may commute from the Valley to staff our schools, medical facilities and businesses.

In addition to our work on infrastructure, we have not forgotten how to have fun. Along with our many festivals, events and parades, we have invested in keystone community events such as First Friday, which brings thousands of people to downtown Globe to enjoy food, fun and our friendly local businesses.

Our efforts to address quality of life, housing and infrastructure have made many positive strides by partnering with stakeholders, investors and developers to bring ‘Globe Forward’ to the future.

I would like to personally invite you to visit and enjoy all that Globe-Miami has to offer.

Forward City’s budget reflects years of hard work and planning The City of Globe is boldly moving forward with a visionary Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget that reflects years’ worth of planning and hard work coming to fruition to create a more diverse economy and improved quality of life for residents Through the creation of its Economic and Community Development Department in 2018, “Globe Forward” has become our motivational motto as we plan for the future.

“In rural Arizona, we don’t have the resources our larger neighbors in the Valley have access to, so we’ve become creative and resourceful out of necessity,” says ECDD Director Linda Oddonetto. “Thanks to the determination of our council and the hard work of

City of Hospitality

staff in every city department, we’re going from ghost town to boomtown, and moving the needle in a fiscally responsible direction.”

For the past year, the City has filled key positions in vital departments and sought and gained approval for a number of revenue streams that will be used to rebuild key pieces of infrastructure in order to increase services and prepare for future growth.

The ambitious $65 million budget contains $21 million in grant requests that have come as a result of the groundwork the City has laid through relationships developed with state and federal agencies as well as private partners.

WORK

Thanks to the work of the Council and the City’s Washington lobbying firm, a number of grants have been awarded or are included in the Federal Budget.

Several high-profile projects are in the works or have come to fruition, including the completion of a $5 million overhaul of the Community Pool, extending sewer services to the Globe Community Center, and funding to refurbish and create a public co-workspace in the centrally located downtown Globe Michelson building, which has been vacant since 2015.

A major development project, the $22 million Hill Street School Senior Housing project, is also underway, which will beautify the southern entrance to downtown Globe and create additional housing for local seniors caught in a housing crunch.

There are also a number of bridge replacements in the works and plans to create additional infrastructure, from extending city services to the northeast corridor to building sidewalks on Jesse Hayes and Six Shooter Canyon roads to the Community Center.

Current grants include: • $750,000 in Federal funding for the Michelson Building, • $2.2 million in Federal funding for a number of water infrastructure improvement & expansion projects, • $3.5 million in Federal funding for a new, state-of-the-art fire station, • $2.2 million in Federal funding for a new ladder truck for the fire department, • $4.5 million for downtown sidewalk improvements and to preserve Besh Ba Gowah Archaeological Park and Museum.

Future grant applications through the USDA, ADOT and Freeport McMoRan include: • $400,000 for a planned parking garage downtown, • $9 million for additional bridge replacement and • Nearly $9 million for various projects from sidewalk construction to park improvements.

Thanks to the hiring of a grant writer for the City and as a result of a lobbying trip to Washington DC to attend the National League of Cities Conference in March, Globe has positioned itself to creatively leverage its position in order to maximize traditional sources of revenue.

“Now that we’re finally seeing some funding coming through, all the work that Council and staff have done to move these projects forward is happening,” says Globe Mayor Al Gameros. “It was critical for the Council to make personal connections while in Washington. We have many projects in the works, but we can’t do them unless we are able to access outside funding.”

45

Paving the way for these improvements included bulking up several City departments, including Public Works, Police, Fire and Economic Development in order to provide services and honor grant agreements.

There was also concerted effort to beautify existing spaces and to get citizens involved in the process.

Thanks to the efforts of such initiatives as Globe Clean and Beautiful and GilaPROUD and citizen participation in such efforts as I Art Globe, Historic Highway 60—the main thoroughfare through the Copper Corridor—has received regular cleanings and art projects have been popping up throughout the City.

Through increased code enforcement, many of Globe’s dilapidated buildings have been beautified or removed to make way for new construction.

GilaPROUD (Protecting & Revitalizing Our Unique Destination) is a partnership that was formed by several local agencies to fund landscaping and beautification along Highway 60 from the eastern edge of Globe to the city limits of Miami to the west.

GilaPROUD is funded with the help of several community partners and has hired Allegiance Builders, a locally owned business, that from July 2022 to December 2022 removed 13.64 tons of litter and weeds from the highway. Fiscal partners include Gila County, the Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center, BHP, the City of Globe, Freeport McMoRan, Capstone Mining, Southern Gila County Economic Development, Resolution Copper and the Town of Miami.

“These are things that are just going to add to the beautification and the ability of citizens to get out and mingle safely,” says Globe Councilman Freddy Rios.

“If we can build sustainability, bring in housing, and bring in other methods of economic development, this community can remain sustainable no matter what might happen in the future.”

While a focus on economic development will play a key role in Globe’s future, Council intends to continue creating a welcoming atmosphere and make historic downtown Globe a destination location to the benefit of residents and visitors alike.

Improved downtown lighting and access to Wi-Fi, as well as additional parking on an increasingly busy Broad Street, are crucial to the future.

To further improve the visitor experience, the future includes adding wayfinding signage, historical plaques, EV charging stations, exercise equipment and downtown water stations, as well as more biking and jogging trails and other outdoor improvements.

“This has been a collaborative effort that has brought in outside funding and the participation of the City of Globe, our regional partners and residents,” Gameros says. “The Council has a clear vision, has set goals and supports our staff to achieve these goals for the people in our community.” u

City of Hospitality

For the past five years, the City of Globe has sown the seeds for a 21st century civic model. Through hard work, dedication and a shared vision, our City Council has collaborated with administrators and staff to create a pathway to a diverse economic future.

Since the establishment of our Economic & Community Development Department in 2018, we have maintained a laserfocus on those goals and through our investments in infrastructure and staffing are well on the way to creating a more healthy and economically thriving community.

Over the past year, we have invested in several vital City departments to maintain and improve services a modern city provides to its residents.

WORK

We have bulked up our Public Works, Police and Fire departments to increase public safety and maintain our streets and public parks. With 14 parks, Globe has the highest number per capita in the State of Arizona, and along with focused urban renewal efforts, our quality of life is improving as a result of these investments.

As a result of our outreach to government agencies, we have identified funds to move forward with the construction of a new $13 million fire station that will be located in a visible location on the Highway 60 thoroughfare. The Globe Fire Department currently works out of a 100-plus-year-old building that does not have the capacity for modern equipment. The new facility will provide a safer workplace for our firefighters as the need for their services increases with time.

Additionally, we have hired our first-ever Grants Manager, as well as a Building Official, to help bring in funding for ambitious projects and to update and modernize Globe’s building codes to align with current national standards.

We have also focused on creating a more beautiful and inviting community through initiatives such as Globe Clean and Beautiful and GilaPROUD—protecting and revitalizing our unique destination—two programs that work in partnership with Gila County, Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation, and local volunteers to clean up our beautiful Highway 60 corridor.

Our code enforcement efforts in partnership with our citizens have focused on cleaning up properties and improving facades of local businesses. We have also targeted dilapidated buildings for improvement or removal to help increase housing stocks and create a more inviting community for people who may want to move to our community.

49

As we plan for our future and prepare for growth, we are always focused on a greater quality of life for our residents now and for future generations—that is what “Globe Forward” means to us here at the City of Globe.

Those efforts are also intended to prepare our community for new development both now and in the future.

Signs of the success of our investment are beginning to manifest throughout the community.

We recently reopened Globe’s Community Center pool after a $5 million overhaul, and have extended city sewer services throughout the entire Community Center Complex to support our vital hub for community activity.

Given its location and topography, Globe has faced long-standing limitations in its ability to increase housing stock. Housing represents a top priority for City leadership as reflected in its updated 20202023 Strategic Action Plan, which calls for increases in affordable and workforce housing, as well as opportunities for market rate housing in the region.

Among the initiatives aimed at increasing housing stock already underway is the Hill Street project, a $22 million housing project recently begun by Arizona’s own Gorman & Company to restore life to a landmark building. The project will provide much-needed affordable housing for seniors and create a beautiful southern entryway to Historic Downtown Globe.

The project is the very first rural housing project that has been awarded tax credits by the State of Arizona.

Thanks to our Council’s outreach to various state and federal agencies including the Arizona Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

we have identified millions of dollars to rebuild vital bridges that connect various parts of our community, as well as the creation of a business incubator and co-workspace in downtown Globe.

We have also acquired funds to study and prepare for future development in our northeast corridor and to create sidewalks and nature paths that will increase housing opportunities, safety and quality of life for our residents now and in the future.

Our centralized location on Historic Highway 60 in the heart of Arizona is the gateway to the best our state has to offer. While Globe was built and has been shaped by a long history of mining, our future will depend on diversification and by creating a place that grows and evolves with the times.

Globe is a city proud of its heritage in mining, ranching, and Southwestern culture but proud too of its ambition, resilience, and commitment to growth.

As we plan for our future and prepare for growth, we are always focused on a greater quality of life for our residents now and for future generations—that is what “Globe Forward” means to us here at the City of Globe.

We invite you to reach out to the Economic & Community Development Department as you look forward to your own next steps.

Best, Linda Oddonetto Director City of Globe Economic and Community Development

Investment into First Fridays pays off with big crowds, economic activity in Downtown Globe

For the past several years, the City of Globe has directed resources toward infrastructure, from new sewer lines to initial planning for future development, but equally important is the investment the City is making to improve the quality of life for its residents.

Along with revitalizing its park system—Globe boasts the most parks per capita of any city in the state—the City has also devoted resources to creating and hosting events such as First Friday, which brings thousands of people to the heart of downtown Globe for a day of celebration every month.

In addition to a wide variety of entertainment, food trucks and vendors, First Friday offers an opportunity for locals to mingle with their neighbors as they listen to music or take in the car show that takes place at 5:30 p.m. the first Friday of each month.

“The car show has been going really well,” says Globe Mayor Al Gameros. “We thought it would be good to bring back downtown cruising like we used to do in the ‘70s.”

The show draws hundreds of participants from local cars clubs and several in the Valley and has become so popular its footprint is expanding.

“There are a lot of individuals

City of Hospitality

in our community that have nicelooking cars they really like to show off,” Gameros says. “It’s not only the cruise, but they enjoy just being downtown, displaying their cars and meeting the people coming by.”

The monthly event began in October 2020 in the wake of the COVID shutdown when city leaders searched for a way to revitalize downtown businesses and give residents an opportunity to get out of the house.

As the event has grown, the City’s dollar investment has grown with it and First Friday is now a line item in the annual budget. Costs include providing police and fire services as well as Public Works personnel who

set up, tear down and clean up after the event.

In total, given the costs of advertising, entertainment, health and safety, and providing community activities such as a climbing wall and ice skating, the City spent $63,126 to put on the event last year.

According to the Economic and Community Development Department, First Friday incurred the following expenses in FY 2022-2023: • Marketing, $15,887; • Entertainment, $40,310; • Public health/safety, $6,714, • Event décor $216

WORK

The FY2023-24 budget for First Friday will be slightly more $82,000 for a monthly event that has recently brought nearly 9,000 people to downtown Globe in one evening.

The investment pays dividends in many ways, not the least of which is the sense of community it continues to bring in the wake of COVID. “If we forget about the family aspect of it, we’ve lost a sense of community,” says Councilman and Globe native Jesse Leetham. “When I was small, there was a pancake breakfast at the church and the fire department had bed races and there was a sense of community Globe had that is special.”

Aside from strengthening community, there are real-world economic benefits to the event.

The City receives tax dollars from the money visitors spend at local businesses, and if they stay in motels, the City also receives revenues through its bed tax.

The bed tax provides quarterly funds for five local organizations, including the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce, Southern Gila Economic Development Corporation, Gila County Historical Society, Globe Downtown Association, and the Center For The Arts.

During First Friday events, many local restaurants and bars offer food and drink specials. Some shops offer discounts and side events such as live music or games and many stay open for extended hours, offering additional specials.

There has also been tremendous growth in the Food Truck Round-Up that began with only one vendor, but has grown to include a total of 17 food trucks. There is also now a waiting list for new vendors throughout the event.

“You can look at it as not investing in this one specific event but investing in the community, because the returns come back through vendors and businesses,” Gameros says. “We’re getting additional revenue from these people that come into our community.”

The success of the event has also helped spur the City into spending more on parks and open spaces as well—the City recently overhauled Veterans Park at City Hall, including brand-new playground equipment and a new surface to play on. Citizen initiatives such as I Art Globe have sprung up as well to help beautify the town to make it more attractive for citizens, visitors and future residents.

“I think one of the things I brought to light was that our parks are good, but that’s the same equipment I played on when I was a kid,” Leetham says. “We started thinking about how we were gonna get these parks online again and get people active. And then COVID happened, and there was even more of a push to get people outside.”

Given the success of First Friday, the recent opening of the Community Pool and the physical improvements being made to the historic downtown core, these

53

investments are beginning to have a visual impact on the City.

But without the efforts of every City department working toward a common goal, and Council’s willingness to spend money towards that goal, those signs of progress would not be there.

“This event has become a signature event: It started small and has slowly built up,” Gameros says. “It’s not a cheap venture to put on, but improves our quality of life, providing recreational opportunities for our entire community. We feel it’s worth it if we have the revenue to do that for our residents.”

First Friday takes place at several locations downtown from 4 to 8 p.m. on the first Friday of every month.

The Broad Street Cruise starts at 5:30 p.m. The food trucks are located at the Old Dominion Parking lot across from the train depot, and entertainment takes place at the bandstand outside the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts. u

Sustainable beef production involves grazing cattle on U.S. rangelands, about 85% are unsuitable for crops. Raising cattle contributes to the ecosystems by converting forages humans cannot eat into beef.

Today's cattle producers are significantly more environmentally sustainable than they were 30 years ago.

Today's farmers and ranchers raise 13% more beef from 30% fewer cattle.

When compared with beef production in 1977, each pound of beef produced today.

Produces 16% fewer carbon emissions • Takes 33% less land and requires 12% less water

RANCHERS

Maintain and introduce habitats as homes for numerous endangered and threatened species including Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Chiricahua Leopard Frog and the Mexican Gray Wolf.

FIRE PREVENTION Grazing controls invasive weeds and reduces plant fuel build-up on grazing lands so it doesn't turn into hot and dangerous fires

Your Ranchers support local schools, churches, youth sports clubs, 4H & FFA programs, multiple charities and numerous fundraisers every year.

Disc golf has come to Globe-Miami “Disc golf lets me forget that anything else matters. It’s all about being outside in beautiful surroundings and enjoying the complexities of the game.”

– Steve Logan There is a small but growing band of friends and acquaintances that is slowly building awareness of their sport, and those funnylooking “disc entrapment devices” are showing up around town.

The sport, once known as Frisbee Golf, rebranded itself in the 80s after a copyright issue with the name Frisbee. Known as Disc golf, the sport is gaining ground around the country, and here in Globe Miami.

They call themselves DISCover Globe. Friends of disc golf and can be found on Thursday nights, before sunset, playing the Ice House Canyon course at the Community Center or on Saturdays at 9 am at the large lawn in front of Bullion Plaza Museum. The Friends group currently has 174 members and counting.

Just look for the entrapment devices or poles.

And check out the app UDisc, a phone app for disc golf courses where you can track your scores, follow course layouts, or make your own.

Although not permanent

yet, you’ll see pole holes at Bullion Plaza Museum in Miami and popping up in washes that run through town. The Miami Town Council seems interested in establishing something permanent, so look for that in 2024.

The Globe Community Center has a variety of poles that can be used for fieldwork. And players can follow the course layout on UDisc, a phone app for disc golf courses.

A local business, The Knotty Fox in downtown Globe, serves as the de facto headquarters for disc golf, carrying a wide selection of discs, both new and used. The owners also manage the “lost and found” for the Ice House Canyon Disc Golf Course at the community center. u

Sponsors like Gila Monster Construction are helping to grow the sport and reward players.

Disc golf at Bullion Plaza Museum may become permanent in 2024.

Getting Hitched

When you’re looking for the perfect place to tie the knot, take a look at Globe-Miami. There’s more than you might expect to make your day unforgettable, including a wide selection of beautiful venues varying from intimate to gigantic, set amid majestic scenery, and enjoying cooler temperatures than in the Valley.

Whether it’s elegance or cowboy casual that appeals, beautifully appointed historic locations will make your day unique and memorable – such as the 1910 Train Depot, the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts (housed in Globe’s original courthouse), or the Bullion Plaza Cultural Center, located in a former school built in 1923 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

For small gatherings, The Chrysocolla Inn, a bed and breakfast in the historic downtown district, offers patios and a lush garden, while at the other end of the spectrum, the fairgrounds can accommodate nearly 500 guests, with multiple rooms, a stage, and capacious kitchen facilities.

At the Waggin’ Vineyard Estate in Globe, terraced vineyards offer a verdant setting – or, for an urban chic vibe, choose the downtown historic building at 396 N. Broad.

Expert and experienced services – including decorators, florists, photographers, bakers, caterers, tailors, and DJs – are available to make your dream come true, such as caterer Christine Rocha of Copper Miner Catering & Concessions, planner Shannon Bollinger of Elevated Entertainment, and photographer Becca Mathews of Land of Wild Designs Photography. Small town doesn’t mean small talent.

HOMETOWN TREASURES

A third generation of women entrepreneurs is doing business in Miami and making their hometown a little bit sweeter Lisa Remos always knew she wanted to run a business with her daughters Desiree, Dionne, and Denise.

Lisa grew up in the little pink house at the end of Inspiration Street. Her mother, Mary, was born in Miami. Her father, Albert, worked in the mines and was a proud union member. Mary operated a small upholstery business in one room of the house. She also drove the Miami school bus for 18 years and championed the district’s special needs programs.

Today, Lisa works at the hospital pharmacy, originally established to serve the mine’s union members, like her father. But her dream to own a business with her daughters has come true, in spades: the four women together now operate not one

but two businesses in Miami.

Each of Lisa’s daughters has a full life with families and regular jobs, and all three now live outside the area - but they come together over the two shops, which draw on the unique talents of each.

Every Thursday through Saturday, you can find Lisa

fun and truly hometown goodness

at My Mom’s House Dzynes, located at 256 Gibson Street.

The shop occupies the same room where Lisa’s mother once did upholstery.

Here you’ll find a wide array of home decor and craft items items representing the four women’s collective talents, such as chalk-painted

signs, furniture, and silkscreened shirts. Many of the pieces reflect the women’s passions, including being members of the Vandal family.

This summer, the Remoses opened their second shop, Sweet Memories, on Sullivan Street. Here, the sisters plan to cater to the hometown crowd, including people looking for gluten-free, allergen-free, and vegan desserts.

Their lemonade will be fresh-squeezed, thanks to a cousin who has a prolific lemon tree, and they plan to make their own waffle cones.

And the decor will feature the history of Miami. The Remos daughters might have moved away, but their passion for their hometown keeps them returning. u

Round Mountain Hiking Park

In 2008, the park was dedicated to Stan Gibson, former mayor, vice mayor and city councilman for over 3 decades. It was Gibson who championed the park and hiked its trails every day. Photo by LC Gross

by Thea Wilshire

T

he hillsides of fragrant purple flowers and the wide variety of wildflowers dotting the trails of Round Mountain Hiking Park draw hikers and photographers from around the state. The annual Sunrise Challenge trail race on National Trail Day (the first Saturday of June) brings runners from in and out-of-state to compete.

Round Mountain is truly a crown jewel of the Southern Gila County regional park resources.

This 386 acre park offers 6.7 miles of rugged high desert trails, ramadas, bathrooms, benches, and a visitor’s center.

With unparalleled views from the Round Mountain vista lookout and pristine desert flora, lucky hikers may see white tail and mule deer, coyotes, Jack rabbits, cottontails, road runners, horny toads, lizards, snakes, and an occasional Gila monster.

It’s also possible to find 3 million year old fossils on site.

Today’s easy access to the park belies how much work went into its creation. Few current park patrons realize Round Mountain Park involved decades of concerted effort, multilevel planning, and stalwart advocacy to open.

Work began in 1971 when the Globe Planning and Zoning Commission, under the leadership of Stanley Gibson, recommended the City of Globe petition the BLM for access to the land where the park is now located. This request was granted by the BLM, but later withdrawn when no public right of way to access the property could be obtained.

Gibson and fellow Globe City Council member Luis Aguirre kept the dream alive for 20 years until the new Copper Rim access road was created, allowing ingress to the park area.

Finally, park creation could be ramped up.

Over the next six years, major park milestones were achieved. The city entered into an agreement with the Arizona State Park Board for funds to develop the park, BLM completed

The park maintains a watering basin for animals that has encouraged a little oasis to flourish at the park’s entrance. Some park patrons, like this pup, use it to cool off after a long hike. Photo by Thea WIlshire

an archeological assessment of the area, conceptual plans for the park were designed by University of Arizona Landscape Architecture Program students, and a new BLM lease was obtained. With grant funds and gifts from the Globe Rotary Club and the Lions Club, trails and facilities were constructed by volunteers and the City of Globe. The park officially opened on May 13, 1997.

In the midst of all of this, Gibson continued to hike the park almost daily, spending thousands of hours scouting trails and constructing park amenities. At his urging, the city hired Rick Powell as a park steward and he spent 12 years of full-time work developing and maintaining trails. Once he retired, Gibson invested 3 days of week a heavy trail construction from ages 70 to 85. His wife, Janet, jokingly referred to the park as “Stan’s true love.”

In 2008, the Globe City Council recognized Gibson’s vision and work by dedicating Round Mountain Park to him. His gift to the community has been actively enjoyed by tens of thousands of people over the past 26 years.

“It has been my labor of love, invested over my lifetime,” says Gibson. u

Rebecca Williams and Ruth Meyer enjoy the Halloween costumes of Archie, Lacy, and Honey.

Gus and Finley have both learned socialization from play at the park. Gus was adopted from the High Desert Humane Society and Finley started visiting the park when he was four months old.

The views are incredible from the dog park, located behind the ball fields at the Noftsger Hill ballpark complex. The Globe Dog Park will be the location of the biannual Dogtoberfest Celebration scheduled for October 2023.

Maia Green is overwhelmed with love at the park from Elliott, Gnocchi, Autumn, and Wylie.

by Thea Wilshire Eddie, a 3 pound puppy, confidently chases Elliott, a 109pound boxer mix. Honey walks with her “mom” around the tenth of a mile track within the park fence, while Wylie soaks in the massive tub and Deacon noses his way through a pile of dog toys. There are 16 dogs of divergent breeds, sizes, and ages in the park, yet amazingly all are getting along and having fun.

“Sometimes it seems a bit like a miracle to see how well they do together,” says Barbara Speer whose dog, Autumn, likes to nap in the sun.

The dog park is a relatively new city amenity being discovered and enjoyed by residents and tourists alike. The larger “General Use” section opened in 2020 and the smaller “Special Use” section (for smaller, older, or special needs pups) opened in May, 2023.

Like many patrons, Pam Osborne visits the park daily with her dogs.

Seated at a shaded picnic table, she explains, “When we moved to Globe, this is the first place I made friends and these are the folks I hang out with now.”

The park is open dawn to dusk, and free of charge. Dogs must be non-aggressive, at least 4 months of age and fully vaccinated, and not in heat. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and owners are required to remain in the park with their dogs.

Patrons tend to come at the same time, helping both the people and dogs make friends.

Finley, a young Labrador retriever, rolls in the grass by a shade tree.

Andy Simpson smiles at his dog and says, “We come to the park Monday through Friday. It’s a great way to finish our day.” u

Roosevelt Lake is located just 30 miles from downtown Globe, 80 miles east of Phoenix, and 150 miles north of Tucson. Covering approximately 22,000 acres near the confluence of Tonto Creek and the Salt River, it offers a range of recreational opportunities.

For the fishermen, the lake is stocked with bass, trout, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, and pan fish. Roosevelt Lake has been the site of many record-setting catches.

You can also launch your sailboat or power up your jet skis or waterskis, or kick back on a houseboat to enjoy life on the water.

The Roosevelt Lake Marina is centrally located between two inlets just two miles east of the dam. The marina is equipped with a paved boat launch ramp and fuel dock, and offers boat storage. Kayak and houseboat rentals are available, but reservations are highly recommended. You’ll also find a store, an openair bar, and a barbecue area at the marina. u

The Salt River is a major river in the spectacular Sonoran Desert, and a large portion of it passes through southern Gila County. Whitewater rafting on the Salt is legendary – thanks in part to the incredible scenery and wildlife on view.

Salt River Canyon has been likened to a miniature Grand Canyon, with massive cliffs rising on either side of the river as you navigate through solid class III and IV rapids. Four rafting companies work the Salt each year (see box). The put-in is located approximately 45 minutes from Globe, and many visitors book a day on the river and a day for exploring Globe-Miami.

With a season typically running from early March through mid-April, depending on rain and snow packs, the Upper Salt provides the United States’ first whitewater rafting trip of the year. Nowhere else in the country can you raft in March. The key is water flow, and there are years when the river doesn’t run high enough for rafting – so any trip on the Upper Salt should be treasured. u

Experience Southwestern History

BESH BA GOWAH

A top-10 attraction in the Globe-Miami area, Besh Ba Gowah offers a not-to-be-missed immersive experience of ancient Southwestern history and culture. One of the most significant finds of Southwestern archaeology, these partially restored ruins allow visitors to walk among the corridors, plazas and buildings of a people who occupied the Globe and Tonto Basin area centuries before Columbus arrived in the New World.

The Besh complex comprises some 200 rooms, as well as ethnobotanical gardens where visitors can see how the Salado people grew and prepared food. The museum holds a significant collection of Salado pottery, textiles, and stone artifacts.

During the one-night-only Festival of Lights, thousands of luminarias light the walls, turning the ruins into a

breathtaking place of magic and beauty. The Festival of Lights takes place every year in early or mid-December.

Besh was discovered and mapped in 1883 by the explorer Adolph Bandolier. Between 1935 and 1946, the pioneering female archaeologist Irene Vickrey supervised the site’s excavation, a project of the WPA. After Vickrey’s untimely death, the site experienced neglect and deterioration until the 1980s, when a Globe councilman, Louis Aguirre, intervened to ensure its re-excavation and reconstruction.

Besh Ba Gowah is located at 1324 S. Jesse Hayes Road.

There is an admission fee, and the museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays in the summer. Although the ground within the ruins is unpaved and uneven, the site is wheelchair accessible. For more information, call the museum at (928) 425-0320. u

Hidden Staircases Showcase Globe's Creative Community To compensate for the temporary loss of access to trails in the national forest and the Old Dominion Historic Mining Park, volunteers with I Art Globe (IAG) proposed a creative solution: an art-filled urban trail featuring the hidden staircases surrounding the historic Globe downtown.

The Stairizona Trail was born!

With lots of community input, three routes were laid out and almost 50 art installations have been created along the trail by local artists.

This past year saw the addition Regina Ortega and Thea Wilshire, co-leaders of I Art Globe, offer of three new murals, 10 pieces guided tours of the 1.4 mile section of the Stairizona Trail and share local history and information about the artists. in the Cottonwood Underpass Project, 13 Gila monsters spread through downtown, and another painted staircase.

Thea Wilshire, Executive Director of I Art Globe, says, “With all the local and tourist interest in the trail, we worked hard this past year to create an excellent Stairizona Trail map, Bringing the total to seven decorated staircases, Ivan collaborating with Chantel Jordan, a GHS student, for graphic Macarambon works on the East Globe pedestrian bridge design. It took 30 iterations to get it right.” The map highlights staircase art entitled “All Roads Lead to Globe.” Many of the IAG projects have “hidden Mickeys” included in the art installations. the art work along the trail and indicates which can be seen This staircase includes two. from a car for people unable to hike the stairs. To further aid navigation, IAG also partnered with Western Reprographics and the Arizona Health Zone to get 41 metal directional signs created for each of the turns along the trail.

Users are finding the trail is good for the body and soul.

It’s also good for our local economy.

Following a feature in the Arizona Republic, guests from around the state are coming to Globe to walk the Stairizona Trail. It was also featured as a creative community solution on the international Reasons to be Cheerful blog of David Byrne.

At the request of visitors, docent-led tours of the trail have been offered during Dominion Days, Poppyfest, and at a recent First Friday Celebration. Additional tours on the first Saturday of each month will begin in the fall.

Keep your eye on the Stairizona Trail as new art arrives over the next year. “We’re delighted to have 21 additional art pieces currently under commission using funds donated by BHP, Freeport McMoRan, and the Booth-Beesley Foundation,” says Wilshire.

Please enjoy the art along the trail, walk to enhance To beat the heat, Adrienne Wakefield paints at night by car headlight to continue her 82-foot mural celebrating the flora and fauna of Arizona. Located in the alley next to the former your physical and emotional health, and volunteer with I Art Toastmaster’s Café, this mural starts at the base of the East Globe pedestrian bridge stairs, Globe to help create more beauty in our community in the is visible from the highway, and will be enjoyed by the patrons of the planned drive-through coffee shop being built at this site. coming year. u

Eleven volunteers worked together over four days to complete a new two-story mural on the High Desert Humane Society thrift store downtown. “Tom Moody saved the day,” says Wilshire, “when he created a way to transfer the image to the wall without the use of largescale projection.”

ave you discovered the whimsical Gila monsters hidden downtown, enjoyed the new murals around town, or walked the Stairizona Trail? I Art Globe volunteers and artists have been busily adding color, beauty, and fun to Globe over the past year.

Started in response to the deprivations of COVID, I Art Globe (IAG) is a volunteer-led, public art initiative of the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts. IAG has invested almost $95,000 in grant funding to bring murals to Globe and create the Stairizona Trail. This includes 86 completed art projects and 13 sponsored art events over the past 2 years.

“We wanted to generate hope and bring life back into our community when everything was closed due to the pandemic, fires, and floods,” says Thea Wilshire who conceptualized the program. “We also wanted to launch local artists into professional careers with paid projects and recognition, and hopefully unleash creativity all over our community.”

All of these goals have been met.

“Many of our artists have received commissions based on their I Art Globe projects,” Wilshire explained, “and five local businesses have sponsored their own art installations. We even had volunteers launch additional projects, like the Globe Tigers baseball field mural completed by Regina Ortega and Tammy Guevara, and the High Desert dog rescue building’s interior mural painted by Pam Osborne.”

Regina Ortega, the art director for IAG, brought five street artists together to do 10 murals for the Cottonwood Underpass Project. Each artist painted one floral image and one mural of their choosing, including the “Heart of Globe” painting that urges people to keep their eyes on their passions. Pictured are the artists (Erica Raymond, Rob Otero, Myron Starr, Samuel Bendle, and Ronnie Sanchez), flanked by Thea Wilshire and Regina Ortega, co-directors of I Art Globe.

Celebrating Globe’s role as the seat for Gila County, Gila monsters seemed an appropriate theme. Kalee Hansen, an EAC student, has completed about half of the 30 planned paintings downtown. These life-sized images each have a Gila monster representing the history or business within each location.

In 2023, IAG focused on continuing the art situated along the Stairizona Trail. They finished multiple large wall murals and decorated staircases, started a series of Gila monster paintings, and successfully completed a massive collaborative endeavor called the Cottonwood Underpass Project (CUP).

When an internationally award-winning artist, Ivan Macarambon, moved to the area, he was tapped to paint the East Globe pedestrian bridge staircase. In the alley at the base of these stairs, Adrienne Wakefield added a vibrant 82-footlong mural.

In 2024, expect more great projects. Kate Stewart, the artist who created the quail mosaic on Yuma Street, has been commissioned to do two more mosaic staircases. Isaac Caruso has been commissioned to paint two large murals downtown celebrating ranching and mining, with one along the Dominion parking lot and the other on the Safeway retaining wall. The Globe timeline is expected to find a home, as well as historic photos and art along the longest section of the Stairizona Trail, which includes a section on Highway 60. u

Originally created as a movie prop for the filming of the 1971 Great White Hope movie, the Cactus Room billboard was up for 50 years before it was recently painted out. With encouragement from the community, IAG brought the “ad” back, with Globe’s Mayor, Al Gameros stepping up to do his first large-scale mural.
