[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 198776, member: 4809"] [b]Lovin' AZ[/b] As a native son, I have lived in AZ for over 50 years and have seen a lot of changes. Prescott was once the capital when AZ was just a teritory. The early founding of the town had a lot to do with mining. Bucky Dent, a famous Rough Rider with Teddy Roosevelt, is one its more famous heroes. Prescott has an "old town square" with lamps, lightposts and a courthouse - just like Mayberry.
