Everything you ever wanted to know about the great state of Arizona can be found in an Arizona Highways magazine. An excerpt from the online magazines Memory Project describes it best.
“Born in the early 1920s as automobiles emerged as the preferred mode of transportation in the U.S., a handful of states throughout the country developed magazines to entice motorists to travel newly developed roads. Sponsored by the states’ departments of transportation, these magazines provide a unique resource for examining how the automobile changed the history of travel and helped to shape identities of place in America. Of these magazines, none date as far back or have featured the iconic photography that has made Arizona Highways a national treasure.“

Chandler,

The first city I lived in when I arrived in 1978 and after a few cities in between, the city I still call home. Chandler is rich with history and in researching interesting places in Chandler, I stumbled across the “Chandler Historic Sites” website and discovered things even I was unaware of. Such as, the “Silk Stocking District”, and the Suhwaro Hotel built in 1916. You will be surprised to see what is there now. McCullough-Price House, located across from the Chandler Fashion Mall. There is so much more, I can’t do it all justice so you will just have to read it for yourself here.
