Lowell, AZ is perched on the edge of the Lavender Pit, a huge copper mine near the Mexican border. At first glance, it resembles a movie set or a ghost town.

The buildings appear untouched since the fifties, and vintage automobiles line the only street in town.

But if you look closely, you can find the Bisbee Breakfast Club behind a display of Indian motorcycles, along with a health food store selling staples at the end of the block. Explore further, and you’ll discover members of the Border Patrol crowded around a linoleum table, eating Chicago-style hot dogs.

So have a cup of coffee and stay awhile. The past isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
