This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Shiloh (Shi-low) moved to Bisbee from Roswell, New Mexico, nearly two years ago after falling in love with the town during an earlier visit. She had dreamed of living here ever since, and on August 7th, that dream became reality. Today, she’s the manager at Allen & Company Coffee Shop, where she enjoys being part of the community she always hoped to call home.
When asked what she loves most about Bisbee, Shiloh doesn’t hesitate. “The people,” she says. She especially appreciates the simple kindness of everyday life here. “Everyone says hello on the street,” she says—a small gesture that makes Bisbee feel like home. Photo: https://www.zushkabiros.com/
