B is for Bisbee
That's Bisbee, Arizona, a quaint destination for tourists. In its heyday, it was a mining town for copper. Now you can tour an old mine three thousand feet underground on the narrow-gauge rail line the miners used to use. Imagine having to go to work in the mines every day. It had to be dangerous work.
