I meant to comment on that...I thought that was super cool that they still exist in modern Phx. I LOVE history and historical items and the stories that go along with it. My mother's side of the family settled out west in the early 20th century. Some in AZ some in Mexico many in Northern Calif. I remember my grandmom telling stories of riding her horse into town (SE Arizona) to go to grammar school. They used to tie their horses up outside of school. They didn't have "the club" or anti-theft devices of any kind. Makes one realize just how far our society has collapsed on a very short period of time.
Anyways, I always appreciate the effort of documenting these treasures.
Thanks Phx31!
