Bought my first legal drink in Yuma when the drinking age was 19 in AZ. We slipped across the border from California and went into the first lounge we saw. Ah memories. E.

Yuma also used to have a thriving market in speedy marriages. Many Hollywood stars would drive to Yuma to get hitched.

Are you sure you didn't get married there? Perhaps it's all a haze.
