Gateway to the Grand Canyon.
Flagstaff, some 150 miles north of Phoenix, is a former lumber town now largely dedicated to tourism, being one hour away from the Grand Canyon.
A quick visit to the latter with my son saw us stop for lunch in Flagstaff, enjoying the historic downtown area.
The Babbitt Brothers building was the center of Flagstaff retail through 1987.
The Coconino Courthouse Building dates from the late 19th century, remaining in use today.
Sign of the past.
Alleyways in Old Town are replete with this sort of thing.
Murals abound ….
…. as does abstraction.
The downtown arts scene is vibrant.
Preservation of old architecture is to be applauded.
