Oho, Ajo!

Ajo, Arizona lies about 10 miles due north of Why.  I have gone there for groceries and propane, but at  a little over 3000 people, and with no Walmart, or Lowes’s or even a large supermarket, there’s not a lot of reason  to go there.  Except that there is no other place to buy anything within a hundred miles, aside from a couple of convenience stores, including the Why Not store.

I won’t go into a lot of detail about Ajo here, if you want to know more, check out the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajo,_Arizona.


Ajo has its pretty places. The plaza is very pretty, as is the Curley School and the churches.
