This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Carl Steven Tagliatella went to Bisbee High School but ended up in New York City for most of his life. He’s been nicknamed Carlyboy since he was a kid and still uses it today. You may see him walking his great dane Harley, working behind the bar at Chuckleheads, or performing stand-up at their open mic on Sundays. Tell him you saw him in TWIB!
