This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!

Sid De Luca has been in Bisbee for a little over two years. He had always heard about the town but lived in Oregon and never thought he’d live in the desert. “I was a water person.” He ended up buying a trailer and moving to Benson where his sister lived, but he wasn’t happy. Sid does collage, came to Bisbee to do an art show. and immediately decided to make the move. Eventually he sold his trailer and was able to get Section 8 housing. His favorite things about Bisbee? The music and then the art. Tell him you saw him in TWIB!
