Lowell Arizona is an old mining town that is located adjacent to Bisbee Arizona in the southeast corner of the state. It was once a thriving town that was incorporated into Bisbee in the early 1900's.
During the 1950's, much of the town was consumed by the ever-growing Lavender Pit copper mine and in fact the current town site sits right on the edge of that pit.
Exploring the town is like taking a step back in time. Old fashioned store fronts and equally old vehicles dot the landscape.
I even spotted an old Greyhound bus parked in a narrow driveway.
Empty windows look ghostly on the front of what was once a beautifully decorated business.
And the local pool hall looks like it has seen better days.
I enjoyed finding this sign advertising things like "snooker and libations".
Next week, I'll show you some details from one of the buildings in this little town.

Wow! What a great place to visit with a camera in hand. [ 0 ]
It must be a wee bit weird living in a place like this Sharon, certainly wouldn't go out at night 😉
It certainly does seem like its best days are behind it.
Very interesting to see around this town. Thanks Sharon, I will be looking forward to your next post about the place.
If that pool hall was still open, Baseball Steve and I would have enjoyed a game or two of 8 Ball. And cervezas.
