Why, Arizona

Show aired May 1, 2014 2-4 PM
*=new music **=local music
From high atop Why, Arizona, we bring you the Stranger Show. Today we continue our series featuring the less well-known towns of the United States.Why, Arizona is located at the intersection of  highways 85 and 86. The unusual name comes from the fact that at one time, two major highways (Highway 85 and Highway 86) intersected in a Y. The spot became known as "The Y," and the spelling was changed when residents petitioned for a post office. At the time of the town's naming, Arizona law required town and city names to have at least three letters, so the town founders decided to name it Why because they could not just call it Y. Eventually, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) changed the intersection to more of a T-shape because of safety concerns, thus the name is part of the town's history more than its current state of affairs. Today we ask the musical question: Why another album from this group?
