Yes, a great magazine. I was in the Air Force, as a Titan II missile crew member, from 1968 thru 1972 and stationed in Tucson, Arizona. Bought the magazine during my stay there. May even have subscribed to it when I left the Air Force. Since I seem to throw nothing away that has some photo value, I still have many of the issues, stored somewhere. Maybe I should get them out for a review of the great southwest and Arizona. Can In get the issue you mention on-line? Thanks for the memories.

FYI The latest issue of Arizona Highways magazine is a special anniversary issue dedicated to 95 Years of Landscape Photography.
Having lived in Sedona, and now in Southern Oregon, I really miss AZ. However, my wife cannot handle the weather, so here we are. Beautiful here, but it’s not AZ. Forgot about the ‘Highway’, now I will be subscribing.

From 2004 to 2007 I owned a candle and pottery business in Phoenix that catered to the tourism business. I produced a few products that were sold through Arizona Highways and used to visit their offices on sales calls. Luckily I sold the business in August 2007 and avoided the recession that killed that industry. Unfortunately, so many of the tourist trinkets were then and probably even more now are manufactured in China! It drives me crazy that people visit the Southwest and buy memories that are made in China.

I can't wait to snag it from my mother. That is the best magazine EVER. I wish NM's magazine were a fraction as good.

Interesting. I get both and I think NM's Magazine is equally as good.
I have no issue with the quality of the photos published in NM Magazine. It's the articles, the total focus on art and eating and festivities and quirky events. AZ Highways is a lot more grown up. Well, it IS an old magazine.

She's worried, but mostly that the visits she counts on, like from her caregiver/companion and her granddaughter, will be curtailed. She is "secretly pleased" that my business is closed for now as nonessential and that I'll be able to visit her more often. Mom never goes anywhere so her chances of contact with an infected person are small. Thanks for asking.

Who publishes "Arizona Highways"?
Are they an arm of the state's publicity branch or are they supported by advertising and sales of issues?

Lots of ads. You do know that AZ is a red state (McCain, etc.). Of course, tourism is a big source of revenue in AZ so publicity is not a bad thing.

I used to subscribe to it for years, have a stack of them so I dropped it.

Do not assume it is a "red state".
In 2018 they elected a Democrat to the senate.
The Republican was appointed to McCain's old seat, but now she'll have to stand for election again in 2020.

Oh No! Better not go there! I might actually experience an awakening if I spend some time there. Maybe I better buy a RED hat just in case.
