Jerome Art Walk

The Jerome Art Walk is the first Saturday of every month. All of Jerome's art galleries stay open late so that you can have the town for yourself once all of the tourists leave.

Read more about Jerome Galleries or Jerome Artists.

Jerome T-Shirt

Okay - I finally came up with a t shirt design. Tell me what you think. This is the design, it comes on a variety of women's black t-shirts.

If you want to see the design on a t-shirt or even order it, you can do that as well by visiting our Shop.

Ugly Truck Tours

I found this photo of our old truck when we were conducting our Ugly Truck Tours. I would haul people around Jerome, showing them the sites and giving them the history of Jerome. Not such a good idea in this old Ford, it drove like a tank. I sold the truck to Tom Mulcaire, who knows where it is now. Last I heard it was getting a new paint job.

Halloween 2008

One more Halloween spent in Jerome. Family members from Ohio were in town, Trudy and her sister Chrissy. Here are the photos.

Tucson, Arizona

This historic downtown photo of Tucson looks like it was taken in the 40s or 50s? Anybody know where this is at?

Sedona Arizona

Does anybody know where this picture was taken?

Historic Main Street Photos

I'm starting a section where I will put up historic photos of various town's main streets from various eras. I am hoping to get feedback, people's memories about the photo or the town and if you have an old photo of your home town, I hope you will submit it.

This project ties to my ThatsMyHomeTown.com site, where you can visit and see more historic main street photos.
Who remembers when this restaurant and bar sat at the top of Mingus Mountain - just as you topped off on your way from Jerome to Prescott?

That's My Home Town

I just finished creating a sister site to That's My Old House. This site is for people to talk about the town or city they grew up in, their memories and hopefully share their photos. There are many historic city and town photos on the site, which are fun to look at.

If you have fond memories of your home town, here is the place for you to tell others about it, which buildings you recall that aren't there any longer, how your town has changed for the better or worse.

The new site is found at ThatsMyHomeTown.com

Jerome Mentioned in MSN Travel

Anytime a major newspaper or an online news source mentions Jerome, watch out. MSN just did an article on Ghost Towns -‘Ghost Towning’ Blends Fun and Mystery - MSN Travel Articles
and within in mentioned Jerome as an easily accessible site. Hopefully the mention will help boost the economy in Jerome where galleries and artists alike are suffering the consequences of a bad economy.

I just spoke with my friend Susan Zalkind, who is an alabaster carver. She and her husband do remarkable work (http:/www.alabaster.net) and they travel to shows to help sell their pieces. They just returned from Colorado where only the very wealthy were buying art, which means, if it doesn't cost over $25,000 it isn't worth hauling home. This, we agreed, was an interesting representation of what is happening to our society - how the gap between the Haves and the Have Nots is growing even wider and how only the artists that cater to the higher end are doing well right now. Seems ridiculous actually.

So, on another note, our friends Lisa and Levi got married - July 26. Tracy officiated the wedding. They had the wedding at their house in Jerome, it turned out very beautiful. Here is Lisa, Levi and Tracy.

Below, right is Lisa and Levi's neighbor Robin, crying as she said she would, over the wedding. She even brought her own Kleenex.

Pictures and Stuff

Jerome Flat Iron

The Gulch Radio

For those who love to live to old rock, check out Jerome's radio station, The Gulch.


The beauty of the Internet is that you can listen to it online, don't need to be within antenna distance. Richard Martin runs The Gulch, he is one of Jerome's original hippies who moved into Jerome in the 70s? Correct me if I'm wrong Richard. Richard owns an old miner's shack where he runs the radio station out of.

New Jerome Website

Well, I finally got my JeromeAZ.com website up. I have owned the domain for years, just didn't know what to do with it. The site was built to be all inclusive of all Jerome restaurants, Jerome Galleries and Jerome Artists and Jerome Bed and Breakfast or Jerome Lodging and any other type of place you want to stay. I have added a Things To Do page, Jerome Real Estate and more. The site is in its infancy, but it will get there.

Halloween Coming

Well it's that time of year. Everybody around town is talking about their Halloween costumes. Of course Anne and Lisa have their's figured out, I think they started in March. Last year Lisa was the Moaning Lisa and Anne Picasso. Playing with words is fun. Tracy's cousin Rebecca said she dressed as the Bat Mobile one year, had a mobile on top of her head with bats hanging off of it. Her husband was a chick magnet, with chicken magnets stuck to him. Ah to be original. In Jerome it is a tough crowd, people's costume's are pretty amazing. Of course their are always the tons of prostitutes - the default costume in Jerome. I think people love the opportunity to live out their alter-ego.

My Geisha outfit was fun last year but a lot of work putting all of that white face makeup on. Karen was going as Kill Bill but was Kill Jim, she recently went through a divorce.

So, it out to be interesting this year. We shall see.

Here is a photo from last year's Halloween:
