Original Toronto Star caption: The streets of old Tucson in Arizona looked like this back in the days when cowboys and miners flocked to the area. But this is a copy; accurate as it is; built for the movie Arizona in 1939. Just outside the real Tucson; it's still used for movies and TV shows and it has developed into a major tourist attraction.
