Is Globe Arizona The Next AZ Hot Spot?

Published 2023-11-11
In this Globe Arizona travel guide we explore this historical mining town. Many people just drive by Goibe without giving it much thought but there is much more going on here than you would think. We head up to Globe to explore the historical areas a bit more. Globe is a 1.5 hour drive from Phoenix.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

    We have been traveling Arizona and staying in differing locations about the State. The goal has been to find an area that would be a good fit for us in Winter. Community is an important metric that Globe/Miami does not seem to have much of. We like the terrain around there and the lack of traffic and enjoyed our 2 week stay, traveling up into the mountains on 288 to Young. Just beautiful, and do enjoy the History which there is much of in this area.

    I am a 3rd generation Arizonan and have lived near Tucson as my father worked for Magma Copper. I worked there for 4 years after graduation. I had a lot of family that worked at Inspiration way back and a nephew who works at Pinto Valley. I have a lot of family who live there and someday, I will probably move there myself. I am retired and currently live in Pinetop/Lakeside. We love fishing and Roosevelt Lake is close to Globe! It makes a great place to fish year round. Thanks for making this video and I enjoy all your videos of Arizona!

  • My Grandfather was a boilermaker at Inspiration Copper Co. in Miami. I loved spending my Summers in Globe/ Miami area in the 60/70s. It was a long drive from West Virginia. A lot of very good memories.

    I loved living in Globe. My twins started high school there and my youngest started kindergarten. It was a great place to live, work and raise a family as a single mom. I have a brother who lives there and loves it too. Who knows, maybe one day I'll move back.

    the best thing about driving through Globe / Miami is grabbing 10 Burger House green chili burros for the freezer

    I've been through Globe a couple of times. The region around Globe and Superior are beautiful but at the same time somewhat depressing. Just looked impoverished and not a lot goin on. I would imagine most locals would say "Globe is a great place to leave."

    Globe is in Gila county, and qualifies as a future "penturbian" town. I read Dr. Jack Lesinger's book "penturbia" before I moved to Arizona, mkore than 25 years ago. Penturbia refers to the beginnings of the fifth wave of population migratory patterns in the USA, suburbia was the fourth wave of this migratory pattern, which started post WW2, beginning in the later 1940's. I have heard (looking for documentation), that Globe is slated to be as one of the few Arizona towns, that is slated to become a "smart city". Someone here may have more info , about this if it is true. Great Vlog, really liked the interviews with the local people.
  • We run paranormal events in various historic site like the 1910 Gila Jail and the area is very active

    I met a former phoenix policeman a few days ago, and in our discussion about Globe he told me also, that it was also the hometown of Chuck Norris, ever hear that?

    10:40 What is the original name of the Salado people? Because Salado is Spanish for Salty and in 13th century i doubt the natives knew any Spanish at all. Spain didnt reach Arizona until the early 1500s.
