The record — long form
Ajo is the moved — the 'ore beneath' that's the reason's geology, the 'town rebuilt' that's the mile's shift. The 'garlic named' is the misheard — the 'au'auho' that's the paint's word, the 'ajo' that's the Spanish's hear. The 'utopia planned' is the built — the 'Greenway' that's the manager's name, the 'City Beautiful' that's the style's aim.
The 'three towns' is the split — the 'Indian Mexican' that's the segregated's names, the 'plaza mixed' that's the exception's spot. The 'strike divided' is the ended — the 'families split' that's the bitterness's mark, the '1984' that's the close's year. Ajo is the artists' — the 'retirees paint' that's the revival's form, the 'Curley School' that's the anchor's keep.
The file keeps Ajo: the moved town, the misheard garlic, the planned utopia, and the divided strike.
Ajo is the archive's Arizona file — the company town that moved because the ore was under it.
Why this file matters
