By: Mathew Reveles: My Local News BISBEE, Ariz. – It may be hard to imagine Arizona as a financial hub during its early years as a state. However, that is exactly what it became for a time in the state’s early history, thanks in large part to the “Noble Experiment” and the building at 15 Brewery Avenue in Bisbee. Built in 1905, the building originally housed Brewery Saloon, built and owned by Joseph M. Muheim. When prohibition rescinded all liquor licenses in Arizona in 1914,

By: Mathew Revels: BISBEE, Ariz. (Originally Feb 1,2016) In 2015, Alfred X. Strati began working to renovate the historic Pythian Castle at 29 Ok Street in Bisbee. Prior to the effort to revitalize the building, the castle had most recently been used as apartments, following several decades of neglect. However, the space was originally created for the purpose of providing a meeting place for the Order of Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization with chapters across the c

Believe it or not, some of the best restaurants in Arizona are actually not located in Scottsdale or Phoenix. Really! Matter of fact, some of Arizona’s smaller towns and cities are where you’ll find the hidden gems that don’t often make it into the major newspaper reviews or foodie magazines. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear about them through word of mouth or stumble upon them while searching for a place to eat on places like Yelp and TripAdvisor. Such is the case with Thuy’s No

Attending a gay pride festival as part of a family vacation? It doesn’t exactly top the popular list of family plans for summer travel. But I write from experience when I say that it’s actually a great way to bring your family together and experience something entirely different. Our family attended Bisbee Pride 2016 this past weekend and had a fabulous time. If you’re not familiar with pride festivals and parades, they are typically held in cities and towns around the US and

At My Local News we want to do all that we can to help Mexico pay for the wall, as President Trump has promised the American People again and again will happen. That’s why we will donate two Pesos for every shirt sold to the Mexican Citizens for a Better Wall Committee. Our modest goal is to sell one t-shirt for every one of the 7.125 Billion people on earth. Yes, some would argue that providing food, shelter and potable water is a higher priority than Mar-A-Wallgo t-shirt sa

In what will likely be the crown jewel of the Trump dynasty, officials from Arizona, Mexico and the Trump Organization recently announced a collaborative private-public partnership to break ground on a massive ultra-luxury resort straddling the U.S. Mexico Border south of Bisbee. Net proceeds from the resort will help pay for construction, completion and ongoing maintenance of the 1,951 mile-long US/Mexico border wall. President Donald Trump proposed the bi-national resort as

By: Ari Alexander | With plans moving forward for the new Trump hotel, Mar-a-Wallgo, extravagant fine dining experiences are also in the works. One the the most anticipated new eateries will be a cross-border concept called Baazar Comida, which will be owned and operated by award-winning five-star chef, Jose Andres. Andres, who owns a handful of award-winning restaurants around the U.S. has decided to bring a creative blending of fresh flavors from both American and Mexican c

For the past week or so, I’ve been following a series of very fascinating, if not downright entertaining, videos sent to us from a reader in Bisbee. The lady who sent us these videos, Alison McLeod, is chronicling a very intriguing saga that’s got the entire town in an uproar, pitting neighbor against neighbor. As with anything in Bisbee, it involves something quite quirky – and colorful. Yellow to be exact. And it’s got residents sporting yellow at city council meetings – ev

By: Robert Isenberg | As President Donald Trump prepares to open his flagship border resort, Mar-a-Wallgo, hundreds have already signed up for the hotel’s expansive tour and excursion packages, which promise a rich outdoor experience in the Sonoran wilds. “I just can’t wait to get my hands on one of them gold-plated ATV’s,” said Benson McGillicutty, a 52-year-old coal lobbyist from Atlanta, Georgia. “All that desert ain’t gonna look the same once I done tore it up.” Platinu
