Tucson is home to the "wishing shrine" which is El Tiradito. El Tiradito is the grave and shrine to a young sheepherder named Juan who was a murder victim of a 1870's love triangle. This is said to be the only shrine in the United States dedicated to the soul of a sinner buried in consecrated ground. More information can be found at the Tucson Downtown Alliance site. 04-07

Here is the historic Babbitt Brothers Building. Located in the Flagstaff's historic downtown district, the building was first established as a building supply store in 1888. Later becoming Babbitt's and Arizona's largest department store, the store became hit by some hard times and eventually the building was slated for demolition. The Babbitt Ranches foundation came to its rescue in 1991 by purchasing and restoring the building. More information can be found at the Babbitt Ranches website. 05-20
