Founded in 1911 by William R. Norton; Sunnyslope is older than the State of Arizona. By 1919; the desert settlement had only four or five cottages and no roads; no electricity; and no running water. That soon changed as those recovering from tuberculosis sought the relief of Sunnyslopes dry climate. In 1927; the Desert Mission was established; with its nurses dubbed the "Angels of the Desert." This would eventually become the modern; multistory John C. Lincoln Hospital. A post-World War II boom saw Sunnyslopes population grow with small businesses; schools; and churches being established that still serve the community today. Annexed by the City of Phoenix in 1959; Sunnyslope; with its roughly 40;000 residents; retains its unique identity to this day.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. well worth it for lovers of AmericanaBy Gene BowkerI think the part I liked about the book best was the "before and after" concept. It reminds us to take pictures NOW before things disappear.Its also a good history of neon in Nevada where I think it was designed for.I understand a little more about the signs and the photography is great too. Well worth it for lovers of Americana.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two StarsBy Joseph T. HermansenDisappointed no famous Neon0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
