Bisbee, Arizona, located 90 miles from any major highway, started feeling the pinch from higher gas prices at the end of 2007. “Business Week” reported that while the 130-year-old mining town had 58,000 visitors in 2007, up 16% from 2006, restaurant and bar sales were down 19% in December. According to Wikipedia, Bisbee was featured in the 1957 film “3:10 to Yuma,” as well as its 2007 remake.
