Picacho Peak, Still Standing

The best remaining example of an original Nickersons. This one is located halfway between Tuscon and Phoenix and represents two which existed in Arizona. There were two more planned, but they were never completed. Next week some menu scans. If you ever waited a table at NF this is a familiar view. Looking from the wait station into the kitchen.
