The stretch of U.S. Highway 191 between Safford and Morenci has an unfortunate nickname that Greenlee County Sheriff Eric Ellison would like to make obsolete. “They call it the Morenci 500,” he said. “When one of your highways is named for a race track, that’s not good for the community.”kAmt==:D@? 6DE:>2E65 E92E DEC6E49 @7 C@25 D2H D6G6?

1 month ago | eacourier.com | Tom Bodus
