Theme Town by Thomas Wayne Paradis

Here's a very interesting thing to do around Flagstaff. It all revolves around Theme Town: A Geography of Landscape and community in Flagstaff, Arizona, written by Dr. Thomas Wayne Paradis. His book was written as a self-guided walking tour for NAU students in his world geography classes. But, it's an excellent resource for learning about Flagstaff.

You'll need to:

1. Purchase (or borrow from the library) a copy of Theme Town.
2. Read the book and make note of things you want to pay special attention to has you do the walking.
3. Go to the book's website, Theme Town and check out the supplemental materials.
4. Take Dr. Paradis' tour on foot. You may want to divide it into sections as noted in the book or walk the entire tour and then return to different sections.

You'll never view Flagstaff the same way again, after you read Theme Town and take the tour. It's a great trip.
