In July 1946, much to the dismay of the state of Texas, Monterey Productions announced its plan to film the western movie “Red River” in Arizona. The story is based in Texas and Kansas, but the production manager noted that “he can find every type of Texas scenery within the 20-mile radius of an imaginary circle around his location near Elgin. So, instead of going to Texas where he would have to travel several hundred miles for the correct changes in scenery, he’s moving his entire production outfit to the Santa Rita Hotel here [Tucson] and to an about-to-be-built camp near Elgin.” [Arizona Daily Star, 7/25/1946].

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

By all accounts, Marie Schorr didn’t have the easiest of lives: five boys to raise on a 12,000-acre property far removed from urban conveniences. Conveniences, things we take for granted, like electricity. The Canelo Hills Ranch made its own, as did many area ranches in the day. The nearest phone was 13 miles away in Elgin. Wood provided heat. And the rough-and-tumble landscape was a challenge for cowboys to negotiate. “Lots of snuffy cows,” said son Dr. Richard “Dick” Schorr, DVM. “We rode six days a week to find new-born calves.”
