OBSCURIST TOURIST 129 - I've long had a love affair with Bisbee, Arizona. From the first moment I randomly discovered Bisbee while on a long road trip, it's a place that I continue to visit and a place that continues to endear itself to me. Named America's Best Historic Town many times, there is something undeniably charming about this place - and it's almost unknown outside of America. In fact, it's one of those places that if you know ... you know - and you will continue to visit it time and time again. So come along with me as I give you a quick walkthrough of this amazing and virtually unknown American gem.

This is a GREAT Town. I was born there in 1952. This was the best place to grow up in. Everyone seemed to know each other. I would like to move back there one day.

@ObscuristTourist 9 месяцев назад

Amazing! I really hope you make it back. Such a gem! 🤗❤️

I LOVE Bisbee too. This makes me wanna come back again. The place I stayed sold.; The Old Schoolhouse. I wonder where I'd go this time.

@ObscuristTourist 18 дней назад

So many wonderful places to stay. I highly recommend the Shady Dell. Not a high brow hotel, but definitely one of the more unique places to stay. I enjoy it thoroughly. ❤️

@jaywolfie5445 9 месяцев назад

Going to bisbee at night, after 2am when st elmos (the bar) stops serving alcohol, it gets so peaceful. I love to go up ontop of castle rock ans just watch the lights from above. Bisbee is a spiritual place. I wish it was affordable to live there

@lesliesedberry1511 8 месяцев назад

If you like Bisbee, youd love Jerome- on the mountain in between Prescott and Sedona - fantastic views!!!

@worldobserver3515 3 месяца назад

I didn't think much of Jerome, especially that drive up from the Prescott side.

We visited as tourists in 2010 and kept coming back. Finally in 2017 we said "why not?" and sold our home and built on 4 acres in nearby Hereford. Absolutely love it here. The weather is unparalleled,, people are great, Bisbee & Tombstone nearby, etc. One thing I really like about Bisbee - unlike Tombstone, it doesn't have that cheesy "tourist town" vibe. I don't know how it avoids it because there are always a lot of tourists visiting, but it succeeds. Do come visit, you'll love it.

@ObscuristTourist 4 месяца назад

For real! I love seeing live music in Bisbee - and the vibe is so awesome. Such an artist and music town. Hope to see you and the band rock one day! 🔥

Lived in Bisbee in 92-3 , as a year of big city detox after moving west, from Boston. It was quite a huge change…but much needed. (Anyone remember Muddys? Renaissance Cafe? I worked at both) Though at that point, before internet, it proved to be too isolated for my then 20 something lifestyle needs. I didn’t move far, just to Tucson… so occasionally I take a day trip to walk around the steps in Tombstone canyon.

@blastfromthepast1 2 месяца назад

Used to deliver water, juice and tea to the Renaissance Cafe at that time, remember it well. 👍🏻

It’s a beautiful city, so close to the US/Mexico border you can almost see Mexico. Fun people, fantastic history, lots of wonderful little shops, restaurants and hotels. Bring your walking shoes and beware of the elevation…it will sneak up on you if you’re not hydrated.

@ObscuristTourist 9 месяцев назад

The elevation gets me every time … and the constant staircases don’t help. 😂

@speckitis 2 месяца назад

Your video captured the spotlight used by the Castle Rock Hotel to flash the "Batman" signal on the rocks on the other side of the street. That alone, scares away the criminal element. Super safe town.

@TrinniesMom 3 месяца назад

Bisbee? Are you kidding? Went there once and never going back. Bisbee gave me the same creepy feeling I used to get when I watched the series Carnevale.

@Marcole4221 3 месяца назад

Really, I went in march & happened to be there during the motor cycle festival. I LOVED IT, also when we were in one of the stores a ghost touched my grandmas hair. My body is wanting to visit that town again like it’s calling me to go back. It’s such a weird comforting feeling. Why was it creepy to you? We stayed in sierra vista because everything was booked in Bisbee that weekend.

I very much enjoyed seeing amazing Bisbee through your eyes. Your unique and relatable perspective is unlike others vlogs that I have watched. I have yet to visit this charming, soul-captivating town, but from this video, Bisbee makes a similar impression in my mind as Asheville, NC. And like Asheville, it has struck a chord in my heart. I look forward to visiting some day soon.

@ObscuristTourist 3 месяца назад

Awww, thanks so much for watching!!! Such kind words. Bisbee is such a gem and I really hope you get to see it one day. I’m heading to Asheville later this year, and your description makes me even MORE excited! 🤗❤️

My husband and I got married in the Copper Queen Hotel in 2016. We were married at sundown in front of the firplace on the second floor lobby. We love Bisbee and go back every time we get a chance. I also love Bisbee turquoise from the Lavender Mine and collect jewelry made with it.

@ObscuristTourist 9 месяцев назад

I know exactly where that fireplace is! I love that you guys got married there. The Copper Queen Hotel is one of my favorite places to stay, despite it being a little more run down over the years. But I still love it. 😍

Good gosh! You have not traveled America if Bisbee is your favorite town. There are far, far better towns, even in Arizona.

@ObscuristTourist 11 дней назад

I agree that there are far better towns even in Arizona, but I’ve always had an affinity for bisbee since my first visit almost 15 years ago. Maybe I’m blind to what it’s become

@crowturtle 9 месяцев назад

I loved Bisbee when my twin and I visited with my mom and sister back in October, I did not like Tucson or Phoenix (Mom lives in Tucson) so it was great to be in a walkable town and Cafe Cornucopia was amazing and the mine tour was a great value for money imo I'd love it if it had a train line going to Phoenix or Tucson

@chicagotom1643 9 месяцев назад

I was supposed to be in Bisbee this week and this video was like pouring a margarita into an open womb......salt and all.....ouch!!! You are definitely spot on about feeling at home there and it carries the same kinda vibe that maybe Key West and Salem would, but its not a tourist trap racket like Salem has become. Better driving than Massachusetts 😅

I hope you get back there soon! Yeah, was in Salem not that long back and it’s wild how touristy it is now. 😳

@@ObscuristTourist I lived in Bisbee for five years, had a gallery there. It has some drawbacks too. Bad behavior by residents and visitors alike is not at all uncommon and it is the weekend-drunk capitol of Arizona, if not the entire Southwest, but all towns have their problems. The town also had an obnoxious city inspector I had to throw out of my place more than once. The shops are great, and if you didn't visit the Vietnamese Phó restaurant, you really blew it. ;-)

Been to Bisbee many times and it IS a very cool place to visit. BUT... The best town in America? Ummmmm, no. 🤣😂 That's crazy. 🤣

@ObscuristTourist 5 месяцев назад

There are sooooo many great towns in America, but being from Canada … and the east coast in general - It was more a choice of best town you should know about. But yeah, there are waaaay too many great places. Bisbee has always felt super comfortable to me, so purely a personal choice not rooted in fact 😎

@savr4est Месяц назад

Interesting history, but everybody was hanging out around the town smoking pot. Doing nothing.

Yeah, definitely wasn’t like that pre-pandemic (or not that I remember it that way) - but it is more like what you are saying nowadays. 😂

@jrbisc99 Месяц назад

It's a bunch of crappy antique shops and bars and there are many, many towns that look just like that, if not better. This video is bizarre.

@ObscuristTourist 11 дней назад

These things are subjective. People LOVE LA and I can’t stand it. So it’s all about how it feels to each person. Sometimes a place speaks to you and sometimes that same place repulses another.

@scottthomas3672 9 месяцев назад
