Phoenix Visitor '52

The frigid weather here in STL makes me wish I was currently in a much warmer climate, just as much as I wish I could go back to another time era, like say the 1950's.  And man, if I had the time machine technology to do so, I'd totally set the coordinates to Phoenix AZ, the week of Jan 4th - 11th, 1952 (I know, I know, it's only January 3rd today, but I like to have a day to plan out my travels through time!) This Phoenix Visitor's Guide / Tourist's Magazine published by Bruce A. Ogilvie in the 50's will definitely come in handy for finding all the things necessary to make this getaway a winner. Hmmm, corned beef at Herman's, or maybe a broiled lobster at The Saratoga after a day of antiquing sounds good, also a rejuvenating dip in a hot mineral well at Buckhorn Baths-- I just hope I'm not too relaxed to keep my eyes open that night at the Indian Drive-In for The Son of Dr. Jekyll! And if I have half as much fun in AZ as the miniature people fantastically illustrated in these ads are having, you know I'll be back for more!
