"Don't mess with Payson, Arizona."

Payson used to be a fantastic little cowboy town. Then the friggin kalifornacrats found out about it. Home rices have gone out of sight and the population has sky-rocketed. They forced the widening of the highway from Phoenix to 4 lanes so they can come to Scottsdale and shop at Fashion Square in less time.

I will bet they will push to have guns banned in town to protect the "rights" of the oppressed.

I am sorry to hear about what's happened to Payson. I worked in Phoenix for a short time in 1995 and decided that Payson would be a wonderful place to eventually live. It obviously no longer is a place where a "non-conformist" type would be comfortable living.

I've been in and out of Payson since the highway was a gravel road and the population was a handful of social misfits and inbred morons. It wasn't the Californians who wanted that highway; it was the people from the valley. Every weekend they would turn the two lane into blood alley so that they could go up and play Dan'l Boone.
