I grew up in Florence, AZ. My dad was a Correctional officer at the AZ State Prison. My great grandmother's home was near the 287 turn off. I also was a Correctional officer in Florence and a Detention Deputy with Pinal County. My great great grandfather was born in Florence in 1873. My grandfather, Leo, left to fight in WW2 from Florence. Florence Gardens was a POW camp before it became a mobile home park. The only thing that remains is a river rock guard shack base as you enter.

The business at 1:56 AMR was the first fast food chain in Florence. It was an A&W Root Beer and had the best hamburgers in the world.

Thank you for this video. I grew up in Florence in the house at 1:46 which is now called the Happy Adobe.

I live in Tucson. As you saw, Florence is ever so slightly more than a wide spot in the road. Florence is the county seat for Pinal County. The big industry there are the prisons, which will be moving in the future. Florence is where executions take place. One nice place near Florence is Box Canyon. It is an excellent off road adventure and I highly recommend it. Since I know you are adventurous, try the Superstition Mountains and or Globe / Pinetop areas.

Is Florence a good place ? Is there diversity over there ?

Florence has a improvement study for the town of Florence. It's pretty extensive. I wonder if it was drawn up before the announcement of the prison closing. Queen creek and fortune meet together.

I remember growing up in Florence we had a 9 p.m. curfew. The town's siren would go off and if you are under 18 you had to be indoors. Also the legal drinking age when I was growing up was 18.

Unfortunately the driver didn’t research the area before heading out. Most residential areas and St Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery are found off of Hwy 79.
