What's in our name? We know this whole downtown/midtown/CenPho/uptown naming convention for Phoenix can get a little confusing. What's considered downtown? Does the I-10 separate everything? How about the 17? We might use a few of those labels to help people get to know our city just a bit better, but overall we decided to make it easier. Downtown, to us, is a lifestyle, not a geographic area. Think of it as Glendale Ave-ish to Grant St-ish and from I-17-ish to Highway 51-ish. Most downtowns don't have rigidly defined downtowns and ours doesn't either. We suppose you could also call us the Urban Phoenix Journal, but that name doesn't make much sense. Ultimately, we think of it as a greater downtown – in terms of geography and philosophy. Editorial Policy First and foremost – a story must take place within or relate to this great big downtown area of ours. We'll let others promote the people and places of elsewhere. We offer blogs, editorials and straight-up researched news stories. We also offer Wire pieces which are press releases of interest that we essentially rip from our inbox. We'll always make sure you know when it's a Wire piece, because we didn't write it. We're just sharing the information. A note about blogs, editorials and such. They express the views of the writer alone and  may not express the views or ideas of DPJ as a whole. Are Submissions Welcome? You bet! We think of this as Downtown Phoenix's Journal so you if you have something to say about downtown, let us know. Will we run everything we receive? Nope, sorry. We're pretty open about being fans of downtown, so if you want to rip on it without offering any constructive words then DPJ probably isn't for you. If you think you're up to writing a blog about a specific Phoenix idea or issue, please let us know. We'd love to have you help out. We'd love to hear from you, whether you agree, disagree or are neutral, but keep it clean or we won't publish your comments. This website exists to serve the public, but isn't necessarily controlled by it.

Central Ave., Downtown. (602) 495.9226 Cartel Coffee Lab Coffee, Pastries and Sandwiches Precise in its coffee mentality, Cartel brings its burgeoning empire to Downtown Phoenix, catering to the coffee enthusiast in an expansive bar and kitchen just off the light rail. Single-origin beans and for-here cappuccinos are the draw here, but the forthcoming menu of lunches, salads and scrumptious pastries promise to expand its already loyal following. Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 1 N. 1st St., Downtown. Churn Ice Cream and Coffee Monday to Saturday 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. 5213 N. Central Ave., Uptown. City Central Coffee Coffee, Pastries and Sandwiches Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. 1 N. Central Ave., Downtown. Copper Star Coffee Coffee and Tea Part converted gas station, part Internet café, Copper Star has become a favorite with the Melrose crowd. From the outside, Copper Star still features its mid-century garage aesthetic, but inside, the room opens up to be surprisingly airy and comfy to lounge around. Expect an eclectic crowd depending on the hour, and a variety of pastries and kitschy items, plus hand-pulled espresso drinks. Sunday to Thursday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday to Saturday 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 4220 N. 7th Ave., Melrose. (602) 266.2136. Fair Trade Café (Civic Space Park) Coffee and Tea Fair Trade's second location, in the lower level of the A.E. England Building in Civic Space Park, is a new hangout for ASU students, parkgoers, light rail riders and passersby. The bright, sparce space is a stark contrast from Fair Trade's original location, preferring to focus on the coffee instead of the aesthetic. Brewing strong, organic fair trade coffee and tea, just like the original, this space offers soaring views of ASU's campus, Her Secret is Patience and reflective waterfalls in the park, and is attached to the Fair Trade retail store. Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 424 N. Central Ave., ASU Downtown. Fair Trade Café (Roosevelt) Coffee and Tea A Downtown tradition in just a few short years, Fair Trade Café brews intensely strong coffee, rich espresso and chocolately iced coffee — all with organic fair trade beans. It's no wonder more than a few people have taken the café as their own office space. Fair Trade takes its namesake quite seriously, though, focusing on sustainable practices, small-farm beans and practical roasting techniques from its roaster in Tucson. The U-shaped storefront, on the street level of Roosevelt Square adjacent the light rail station, also features a number of quirky fair trade clothing items and coffeeware, and regularly hosts discussions, acoustic performances and screenings. Monday to Saturday 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 1020 N. 1st Ave., Roosevelt. (602) 354.8150 Giant Coffee Coffee and Pastries The imported coffees are great, the atmosphere even better. Bright and modern without a thread of pretension, Giant Coffee is the latest creative venture from celebrated Downtown restaurateurs Matt and Erenia Pool (Matt’s Big Breakfast, Roosevelt Tavern). With a rotating collection of divisively decadent pastries and baked goods to fawn over while engulfing needed doses of premium caffeine, Giant Coffee is a serious coffee hideout that hits all the correct notes. Honey Vanilla Latte, anyone? 7 to 7. 1437 N. 1st St., Evans Churchill. Gideon's Coffee Coffee Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 209 W. Jackson St., Warehouse. Hob Nobs Coffee and Sandwiches Sunday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday to Saturday 7 a.m. to midnight. 149 W. McDowell Rd., Roosevelt. (602) 253.9220 Jobot Coffee Coffee Monday to Thursday, Sunday 7 a.m. to midnight; Friday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 a.m. 918 N. 5th St., Evans Churchill. Lola Coffee (Uptown) Coffee and Pastries Instantly one of Uptown's most respected coffee institutions upon opening, Lola Coffee had a bit of an advantage, as many in the area have been familiar with owner Daniel Wayne's espresso roast for years from around the corner at Lola Tapas. The bright space along Central Avenue is home to pastries reincarnated from Sweet Pea, with a varied assortment of tarts, cookies, cakes, pies, frittatas and breads that changes daily. Wayne's house roasts feature the smooth, creamy styling he's been favoring for years, and the hip space, complete with mid-century modern furnishings, revolving art and bar stools lining Central, is welcomed by all. Monday to Thursday 7-7, Friday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. 4700 N. Central Ave., Uptown. (602) 265.5652 Lola Coffee (Roosevelt) Coffee and Pastries Melding the feel of Uptown's Lola location with the carefully preserved history of the Gold Spot building, Lola Roosevelt is a soaring, bright space complete with an in-house roastery and bakery. Flourishes of the original Gold Spot building remain — concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows and ample factory-style lighting — creating a warm, rustic setting overlooking the Roosevelt Street traffic. In keeping with the Uptown location's tradition, the counter tops are stocked with freshly baked treats from Sweet Pea, now with the added bonus of accentuated fresh baking and roasting smells throughout the building. Monday-Thursday 7-7. Friday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. 1001 N. 3rd Ave., Roosevelt. Lux Coffee Bar Coffee and Pastries Located in a space charming, spare and urban, Lux is one of the original mainstays in Midtown coffee culture. The trendy coffee bar celebrates a loyal clientele both everyday humble and, at times, overtly image aware. Though never to be overshadowed by such atmospheric trimmings, Lux takes respectable pride in its product — the ultimate reason for its longevity — roasting all of its superior-sourced organic beans in house. In addition to said java, a daily selection of homemade baked goods is also available. Whether for the obvious people watching or serious coffee, Lux is a proven destination. 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 4404 N. Central Ave., Midtown (602) 696.9976 MacAlpine’s Soda Fountain Ice Cream and Soda Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. 2303 N. 7th St., Coronado. (602) 262.5545 Mary Coyle Ol' Fashion Ice Cream & Yogurt Ice Cream 5521 N. 7th Ave., North Central. (602) 265.6266 Pink Spot Ice Cream/Coffee As if being attached to a zpizza wasn’t dangerous enough, Pink Spots packs a doubly sinful punch as one of Midtown’s best coffee outposts and its most popular ice cream post. Most nights there’s a line out the door waiting for housemade waffle cones, ice cream sandwiches, specialty sundaes and thick and rich shake and malt varieties. Open mics, game nights and movie nights also bring the neighbors in regularly. Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 10 to 10, Saturday to Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 49 W. Thomas Rd., Willo. (602) 265.3889 Royal at the Market Coffee and Tea/Pastries Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. 14 E. Pierce St., Evans Churchill. Tammie Coe Cakes & MJ Bread Bakery Skilled baker turned local baking luminary Tammie Coe, along her partner, MJ Coe, serve some of the best bread and pastries in the city at the Downtown branch of their popular enterprise. The restrained retail shop, overflowing with racks of well-crafted, homemade loafs of fresh bread, is a worthy waylay for a midday snack; or, grab a cup of coffee, turning the experience into a simple meal on the go. Monday to Thursday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. 610 E. Roosevelt St., Evans Churchill.

Carly’s Bistro Bar/Bistro Not quite a dive, but certainly not upscale, Carly's has been serving up a rotating selection of beer and wine for a few years now, coupled with a strong selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups, plus an ever-popular late-night appetizer menu. A common meet-up hub for the artwalk crowd, Carly's hosts live music several nights a week and has a regular cast of outgoing regulars. Bonus: The bartenders pour a mean Guinness and know a thing or two about the Downtown arts scene as well. Monday to Wednesday 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., Thursday to Friday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. 128 E. Roosevelt St., Evans Churchill.

(602) 241.0018 Ghost Lounge Bar Sunday to Thursday 4 p.m. to late, Friday to Saturday 5 p.m. to late. 202 N. Central Ave., Downtown. (602) 253.4121 H.B. Hanratty’s Dive Bar Truckin’ along for more than 30 years, H.B. Hanratty’s has a set group of local Phoenician regulars who have grown up with the watering hole. Touting pool, darts and pinball amongst its draws, Hanratty’s won’t offer anything unique, but its old-school saloon atmosphere and cheap drinks continue to draw people in. If you’re looking for flat-screen TVs and surround sound, head elsewhere. This is a spot for those that prefer stiff drinks a bit more than watching the game. Open 2-2 daily. 537 E. Camelback Rd., Uptown. (602) 274.3067 Hidden House Cocktail Lounge Bar 607 W. Osborn Rd., Midtown. (602) 266.1763 ICON Bar/Lounge 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. 50 E. Adams St. (Wyndham Hotel), Downtown. (602) 333.0000 The Lost Leaf Bar To say it’s Downtown’s most eclectic beer and wine list is a vast an understatement. The Lost Leaf, with free live music virtually every night and a neighborhood late night crowd that’s nothing if not consistent, won’t offer you any appetizers, but who needs food when there’s so much to try. The selection (100+ beers and constantly growing), divvied up by type and place of origin, is housed by the bottle, packed sardine-like in the glowing fridge centerpiece of this bungalow’s half-kitchen. Wine and even more beer are stocked below the bar. Go often, as the space also doubles as one of Downtown’s more interesting art galleries. 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. 914 N. 5th St., Evans Churchill. (602) 258.0014 Majerle’s Sports Bar Bar and Grill The original outpost of former Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle’s prosperous local restaurant chain, Majerle’s Downtown branch continues to be a preferred hangout for lively game watching. Serving heightened versions of familiar bar foods in a comfortable setting (think burgers, sandwiches, salads and fried finger foods), it’s hard to find fault with such a dependable standby. 24 N. 2nd St., Downtown. (602) 253.900 Rasputin Vodka Bar Bar OPENING MAY 2011 1 E. Washington St., Downtown. Roosevelt Tavern Bar/American Riding on his previous success at Matt's Big Breakfast, Matt Pool tries his luck as a bartender, with surprisingly sophisticated results. Dimly lit, elegant without being stuffy, the Roosevelt Tavern was an instant favorite among, well, everyone. The ever-revolving taps (with kegs brightly on display in the community table back room) and fine selection of wines and cheeses keep patrons coming through the door, and the menu of bar bites is far from the standard fare. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is lauded as one of the best in the city, and items like the Sweet Moses (a contemporary roast beef sandwich) are unique in the typical bar realm. Thursday's pasta night is also a huge hit. Make sure to check out the tweets to see the current selection. Sunday happy hour all day. 5 p.m.-midnight Tuesday-Thursday, 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday-Sunday. 816 N. 3rd St., Evans Churchill. (602) 254.2561 Rose & Crown English/Pub Fetching and warm, Rose & Crown seems perfectly rooted in its historical digs. Located in an updated, circa early 1900s Victorian charmer within Heritage Square, the British pub offers more than 50 different stripes of local and imported brews alongside heartwarming edible standbys like burgers, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and yes: bangers and mash. High-definition screens surround, providing great perches for prime-time spectator sports. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. 628 E. Adams St., Downtown. (602) 256.0223 Rosie McCaffrey’s Irish/Pub 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. 906 E. Camelback Rd., Uptown (602) 241.1916 RumBar Bar Monday to Saturday 5 to 10 p.m. 106 E. Pierce St., Evans Churchill. Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish/Pub A sturdy Downtown favorite for years, whether for a dependable workday lunch or late-night crawl, Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish Pub effortlessly delivers the goods — and the atmosphere. With Guinness on tap and straightforward bar food on the menu, a day’s waylay at Seamus’ while catching up on the scoreboards (via one of the bar’s numerous televisions) is an experience ensured to deliver. 18 W.

Tight and casual, Sun Up has also become a great place for simple pub grub done well. From burgers and sandwiches, to salads and an array of Southwestern-inspired starters, Sun Up offers much to accompany its serious selection of frothy, wheaty suds.

(602) 368.3046 Aiello’s/Aiello's Backdoor Pizzeria Italian/Pizzeria As their menu states, only 50 pies are sold a night, and all orders must be called in ahead. What it doesn’t suggest, however, is that you should also call ahead as early as possible, as this popular pizzeria frequently sells out. Apart from the larger and more formal Italian restaurant Aiello’s on Central Avenue, just north of Camelback, the tiny, separate pizzeria operates through a second doorway at the restaurant’s backside. Call ahead, ring the doorbell, pick up your bubbling, perfectly blistered 18-inch New York-style pizza. Sincerely: easy as pie. Sunday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. 5202 N. Central Ave., Uptown. (602) 277.8700 Al-Hana Middle Eastern A Middle Eastern must-try. Off the beaten track but traveled to from locations citywide, this tiny café inside Baiz Market — or sectioned sitting area amidst the market — maintains its no-nonsense value with pride. It has become a popular lunchtime anchor for those looking for the best in Middle-Eastern comfort foods. From chicken shawarma and lamb kabobs, to freshly baked pita and hummus so addicting you’ll surely need to stop the intake to save space for their voluminous selection of sought-after Middle Eastern pastries. 523 N. 20th St., Garfield. (602) 252.8996 America’s Taco Shop Mexican/Tacos America's claims it's home to the Valley's best carne asada, and it's hard to argue. The place makes no buts about it: it serves carne asada, it's in nearly every dish and it's darn good. The weekday lunch crowds pack this tiny Coronado bungalow for carne asada tacos — finely chopped, tender carne asada mixed with onions, peppers and spices on a fresh housemade tortilla. For an even more intense carne experience, order the XL burrito — over half a foot of delicious, meaty goodness.

Barrio Café is an intimate, casually hip spot that serves a diverse menu of inventive, gourmet eats of the highest quality. Standouts include one of the best mole in the city; cochinita pibil (marinated slow-roasted pork); guacamole made table side, served with sturdy, homemade tortilla chips; and of course, cinnamon-dusted churros for dessert. Never to be outdone, Barrio Café also offers a very worthy selection of housemade margaritas — some of the most satisfying in town. Reservations not accepted.

The Breadfruit Jamaican A spirited hole in the wall, The Breadfruit is quickly gaining a reputation as Downtown's best island fare. Packed to the gills on First and Third Friday artwalk nights (one can usually hear the reggae pumping from blocks away), it is known for its hearty brown stew chicken, coconut curried tofu and fiery jerk chicken, all with inspired side dishes, most notably the vanilla-spiced festival (breadsticks). Heat-busting drinks are concocted on site. Lunch Monday to Friday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dinner Monday to Thursday 5 to 9 p.m., Friday 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday 12 to 10 p.m. 108 E.

(602) 281.6121 Carolina's Mexican This homegrown institution since the 1960s — a temple to what true Sonoran-style Mexican food can taste like if done exceptionally well — Carolina’s original outpost just south of Downtown continues to draw locals and tourists alike in steady numbers. The infamous, practically eulogized tortillas, made daily in house, warrant a visit alone, if for nothing else: to stock up. The red sauce makes others bow, and their Oaxaca burrito (potatoes, chorizo, oh my) is indeed a crave-inducing offense. Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 1202 E. Mohave St., South Phoenix. (602) 252.1503 Carly’s Bar/Bistro Not quite a dive, but certainly not upscale, Carly's has been serving up a rotating selection of beer and wine for a few years now, coupled with a strong selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups, plus an ever-popular late-night appetizer menu. A common meet-up hub for the artwalk crowd, Carly's hosts live music several nights a week and has a regular cast of outgoing regulars. Bonus: The bartenders pour a mean Guinness and know a thing or two about the Downtown arts scene as well.

(602) 712.9474 Cheuvront Wine Bar/Bistro More than just wine, cheese and chic atmosphere, Midtown's Cheuvront has become a happy hour favorite for those looking for vino and nosh. The menu is rather extensive for a place labeled a wine bar, with a varied selection of salads, traditional entrees, pizzas and, of course, cheese spreads. Wines from around the world, hand-selected by the sommelier, complement each dish. The real prize of the menu: the various mac n cheese dishes, which take the age-old staple to new heights. The semi-industrial space, on the ground level of the Artisan Lofts, is the perfect setting for movie screenings, special events and wine tastings. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to midnight, Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to midnight, Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 to 9 p.m. 1326 N. Central Ave., Roosevelt. (602) 307.0022 China Chili Chinese/Traditional One of the few mom and pop Chinese establishments in Central Phoenix lucky enough to still be considered a dining destination (let alone to still be standing), China Chili continues to serve up the cherished brand of old-school Chinese fare legions of loyalists have become nostalgic for in recent years. Maintaining an atmosphere that is bright, up to date and bustling, this is where many locals go for good Chinese. A less Americanized, more authentic Chinese menu available upon request. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday noon to 10 p.m., Sunday 4:30 to 9 p.m. 302 E. Flower St., Midtown. (602) 266.4463 Cibo Italian/Pizzeria Quaint, charming and tasty. That's what people always seem to be saying about Cibo. We say that it's the best pizza in the Avenues, and one of the most welcoming spots in town. In nicer weather, expect the beautifully green front yard to be teeming with patrons amidst the lighted tree branches. The traditional family-style wooden table in the front room is great for groups, and each room off to the side has its own feel to it. The pizza is traditional Napoli style: chewy, bubbly, charred crusts with a slightly sweet, slightly tangy tomato sauce. The toppings are rich, the veggies are fresh and the imported Parmesan is simply the best. The lunch menu, consisting of Italian-inspired wood-fired sandwiches, is one of the best in town, and brings in the business crowds from around Downtown. For dessert, Cibo offers handmade crepes and warming limoncello. The carriage house in the back alley is available for bigger groups and parties, and has its own unique menu.

(602) 234.4777 District American Kitchen New American Local, upscale and airy, the District American Kitchen isn't your typical hotel restaurant. Sure, the bar is a hot spot for the happy hour and convention crowds, but the dinner menu, updated constantly, soars. Fresh is the name of the game here. In keeping with the Sheraton Hotel's sustainability efforts, the District sources often from local farms. Local veggies from Maya's Farm are paired with meats from the finest ranches and seafood from the most sustainable seas. 320 N. 3rd St. (Sheraton Hotel), Downtown.

(602) 274.5429 Durant’s American/Steakhouse Iconic, quintessential, classic — general hyperbole easily accepted when referring to this beefy Midtown institution. Since 1950, Durant’s has served notoriously regal, straightforward grub (and stiff cocktails) in the type of authentic club-like atmosphere similar steakhouses today can only attempt imitating. Dark and brooding inside, with plush leather booths and velvet wallpaper blood red, this local fine-dining landmark has also established itself as a magnate for power lunching, routinely frequented by local executives, celebrities and politicos alike. Offering prime steaks, chops and a variety of classic seafood specialties, Durant’s has consistently been ranked one of the best steakhouses in the entire state, let alone just in the city of Phoenix. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to midnight, Friday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday 4:30 p.m. to midnight. 2611 N. Central Ave., Midtown.

Generally health focused, and purposefully full of vegetarian-friendly options, Fattoush has become an outpost for all edible persuasions. From lamb dishes to salads, falafel to baklava, the menu is full of the crave-inducing specialties we’ve all come to know so well. 4426 N. 19th Ave., Uptown. (602) 241.3199 Fez Mediterranean Few places in Phoenix can make the diverse claims Fez does: strong, consistent drinks; one of the most interesting (and best) burgers in town; a popular weekend brunch destination; and an awesome selection of Mediterranean-inspired plates. The menu is varied, with an interesting Moroccan/American emphasis — start with garlicky hummus and kisras or any of the can't-miss fries, then take in a sandwich, lamb chops or Crisp Pomegranate Chicken. Lunch hour packs in regulars for the Fez Burger, kisra flatbreads and hefty salads, while the nighttime crowd comes for martinis, pulsating music and the loungy atmosphere (now complete with covered patio).

(602) 462.3503 Fry Bread House American/Traditional A secret still largely unearthed, one of Phoenix’s best kept gems is this humble institution to that special fried bread we all crave so dearly but rarely seem to eat that often. From the savory kind, to the oh-so sweet, Fry Bread House continues to serve its eponymous specialty with no remorse to over indulgence. In addition to the famous fry bread tacos and standard fry bread-plus-toppings offerings, the unfussy eatery also serves a list of house stews, traditional burritos (rolled in flour tortillas) and tamales. Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. 4140 N. 7th Ave., Melrose. (602) 351.2345 Gallo Blanco Café Mexican/Gourmet Notoriously focused La Grande Orange alum Doug Robson brings his independent culinary stamp to the Midtown dining landscape — with fantastic results. Located inside the trendy Clarendon Hotel, Gallo Blanco serves an efficient and refreshingly inexpensive menu of regional Mexican fare with a Mexico City bent. Nearly all ingredients are either made in house or sourced from reputable local purveyors. The modern, funky eatery offers an intelligent selection of starters, salads, a mélange of tortas and tacos (options include pork, beef, fish and vegetarian), as well as other selected house specialties. Equally as impressive, Gallo Blanco also presents a small all-day breakfast menu. 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday to Saturday. 401 W. Clarendon Ave., Midtown.

(602) 241.0018 Gourmet House of Hong Kong Chinese Forget the weathered Formica tables and the general ambiance of a 1960s diner, unchanged. Gourmet House of Hong Kong is known well for its encyclopedia-sized menu of old-school Chinese fare done well. Beyond its tall yellow sign overshadowing McDowell Road, many may never take notice of this homely-looking outpost if it weren’t for word of its seriously delicious eating. Whether for takeaway or dining in, its Americanized menu or more authentic Chinese-language option, Gourmet House of Hong Kong is the type of dive you search out — cheap, tasty, sizable portions and absolutely zero fuss. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. 1438 E. McDowell Rd., Coronado. (602) 253.4859 Green Vegan Monday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., 2022 N. 7th St., Coronado Hana Japanese Eatery Japanese/Sushi Charming, family-run neighborhood Japanese restaurant serving some of the highest-quality sushi in the central city. Special daily deliveries of fish, much of it arriving straight from the mother country itself, ensures such seafood is continually at the peak of freshness. The Hashimoto family, some of whom have accumulated upwards of 50 years’ experience in the field of sushi preparation, craft rolls both specialty and traditional with humble precision — the type of execution normally only found at establishments with much heftier prices. Sushi aside, Hana also offers a comprehensive menu of other Japanese specialties. From teriyaki to yakisoba, tempura to katsu, to a wide array of surprisingly satisfying desserts, novices and the schooled alike will equally find something to crave. During lunchtime in particular, bento box specials are quite popular. Reservations not accepted, restaurant is BYOB.

Hanny’s Modern Italian Whether you show up for a drink at the bar or a taste of the inspired pizzas, there's no denying that Hanny's is one of Downtown Phoenix's best-looking spots. Former site of Hanny's department store (and a city fire training structure), remnants of its 1940s charm remain, as evidenced by its storefront windows (now, thankfully, mannequin-less) and designer names still stamped above the crowds below. Sleek and sophisticated yet understated, the classy-casual of the design is accented by the fire engine-red prosciutto cutter at the center of the bar. The menu highlights pizzas, sandwiches, appetizers and salads with Italian flare, but the real stars here are the inventive cocktails, including the best Original Pimm's Cup in town.

From the hefty dogfish shark tacos, to their notoriously tender cochinita phibil tacos, the small central city eatery has proven itself delicious to a diverse stream of patrons. Along with one of the best salsa bars in a wide radius — it actually demands that you browse it — La Condesa manages to straddle that fine line between authenticity adherence and casual-eater accessibility very successfully.

The original eatery, just due south of Downtown, continues to serve the masses with humble airs, leaving patrons full and already plotting their next return. Though fried chicken is king, Lo-Lo’s also serves equally comforting Southern standouts like mac and cheese, grits, fried okra, and yes, red velvet cake.

A destination in its own right, thanks in no part to its isolated location, residents Valleywide find themselves making the journey to Los Dos Molinos regularly for its hearty, fire-breathing menu. Known for sourcing the hottest chilis while in season, relaying their heat into every salsa, sauce and marinade found on the menu, routine diners know well that that Los Dos Molinos doesn't do “mild,” which many unsuspecting pilgrims find excessively perfect.

(602) 274.2828 Majerle’s Sports Bar Bar and Grill The original outpost of former Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle’s prosperous local restaurant chain, Majerle’s Downtown branch continues to be a preferred hangout for lively game watching. Serving heightened versions of familiar bar foods in a comfortable setting (think burgers, sandwiches, salads and fried finger foods), it’s hard to find fault with such a dependable standby. 24 N. 2nd St., Downtown. (602) 253.9004 Matador Mexican Restaurant Mexican 125 E. Adams St., Downtown. (602) 254.7563 Matt’s Big Breakfast American/Breakfast This isn’t your grandparents’ diner — it’s better. One of the most popular Downtown breakfast haunts for good reason, lovable local chef/restaurateur Matt Pool delivers unapologetic, straightforward diner fare that has been attracting rabid diners citywide for years. Housed in a tiny brick building, limited seating space at Matt’s Big Breakfast has become prized real estate during peak rush hours, which of course, is nearly every hour it’s open these days. Inside the diner’s bright, nuanced retro-modern interior, menus offer a hearty selection of items prepared or assembled with locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality — each respectively stressed as being free-range, cage-free, organic and/or sans hormones and additives. A lunch menu is also offered from 11 a.m. until close, at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 801 N. 1st St., Evans Churchill. (602) 254.1074 Mi Patio Mexican/Traditional 10 a.m.-10 p.m. 3347 N. 7th St., Midtown. (602) 277.4831 Moira Sushi Asian/Sushi Though not succinctly Japanese in direction, Moira is a slick Asian eatery serving a comprehensive, creative list of sushi and varied pan-Asian “hot” dishes. Anchored by an expansive sushi bar and exposed kitchen at its center (under-lit dramatically by bright, cobalt blue accent lighting), Moira’s interior is modern and urban, but equally unpretentious and inviting. Though there is no physical bar area in which to patronize separately, Moira does offer a large list of specialty, Asian-inspired cocktails. 215 E. McKinley St., Evans Churchill. (602) 254.5085 Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café Soul Food Phoenix’s original temple to serious Southern cooking, Mrs. White’s today remains one of the best outlets for soul-enriching fried chicken, greens and other Southern mainstays in the city. Though geographically central, located along a major thoroughfare and showered in bright yellow paint, many speeding by don’t take notice of Mrs. White’s without first being directed. After said introduction, however, there’s little question as to why this local institution has withstood the years. 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m. 808 E. Jefferson St., Downtown. (602) 262.9256 My Big Fat Greek Restaurant Greek/Mediterranean 455 N. 3rd St., Downtown. Networks Bar & Grill American 122 N. 2nd St., Downtown. (602) 440.3191 Nobuo at the Teeter House Japanese Effortless as a result of pure skill, James Beard Award-winning chef Nobuo Fukuda brings his izakaya concept to Downtown Phoenix with resounding success. Think blue-collar Japanese grazing with upscale American angles, Nobuo at Teeter House has become a great addition to the neighborhood dining landscape. Fukuda’s other-worldly, reservations-only omakase (chef’s choice) dinner service is equally an easy must. Tuesday to Sunday lunch 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., dinner 5:30 p.m. to close. 622 E. Adams St., Downtown. Padre’s Modern Mexican Cuisine Mexican 11 a.m.-10 p.m. 1044 E. Camelback Rd., Uptown. (602) 277.1749 Pane Bianco Italian/Sandwiches If Pizzeria Bianco created the benchmark for what is widely considered the most exceptional pizza in Phoenix, then Pane Bianco has since done the same for the panini. Slightly more rebellious than the mother pizzeria, Pane’s spare urban atmosphere is simultaneously high on concept and low of fuss. Utilizing the fundamentals of owner Chris Bianco’s infamous pizza dough, as well as the famous chef’s other homemade (or homegrown) ingredients, Pane Bianco throws out a limited but incredibly fanciful selection of sandwiches and salads. Standouts include one of the best tuna sandwiches in Phoenix, and a simple margherita sandwich, a tricolored offering as close to Italian harmony as you can find. Lunch Tuesday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dinner Tuesday to Saturday 4 to 8 p.m. 4404 N. Central Ave., Midtown. (602) 234-2100 Phoenix City Grille New American Monday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. 5816 N. 16th St., North Central. (602) 266.3001 Located in the heart of North Central's Madison neighborhood at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road, Phoenix City Grille was built with the feel of an old town American tavern – dark and warm, with a straightforward menu of classics. Whether for large groups, power lunches, romantic dinners or cocktails at the bar, Phoenix City Grille has evolved into a popular hangout for solid American bistro fare, at reasonable price points. Phoenix College Culinary Café Instructional/Mixed Tuesday-Thursday 11 a.m.-1 p.m. 3310 N. 10th Ave., Midtown. (602) 285.7764 Phoenix Ranch Market Mexican/Market 6 a.m.-11 p.m. 1602 E. Roosevelt St., Garfield. (602) 254.6676 Pita Jungle Mediterranean 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. 1001 N. 3rd Ave., Roosevelt. Pizzeria Bianco Italian/Pizza Each night, idolized chef-owner Chris Bianco stands behind the counter inside his famous Downtown pizzeria, hand-making nearly every single one of his illustrious pies himself, one by one, in his signature red-brick, wood-fired oven. This admired act of obsession is but a singular element of many, summing up the reasons why Pizzeria Bianco has become one of the most revered restaurants — not just pizzerias — in all of Phoenix (not to mention the constant national press). Consistently delivering one of the best examples of pizza napoletana (crust thin, crispy and blistered) in not only Phoenix, but also the entire country, no corners are ever trimmed in presenting patrons serious pies. From Bianco’s famous homemade, hand-tossed pizza dough, to mozzarella made in house, nearly every ingredient Bianco uses is either locally grown, locally sourced or homegrown by the chef himself in his own garden — nothing is taken to chance. As a result of the pizzeria’s tiny space, located in Downtown’s ever-so-charming Heritage Square, hopeful diners are infamously given wait times upwards of one to four hours. Though reservations can be arranged for mid-sized parties between six and 10 guests months in advance, even that option is not always a guaranteed in. For the prospective diner less hasty, make sure to plan ahead, intending to make a night of the entire experience. Next-door watering hole Bar Bianco can provide welcome libations for parties waiting for their tables to ready. Tuesday to Saturday 5 to 10 p.m. 623 E. Adams St, Downtown.

(602) 287.8900 Rose & Crown English/Pub Fetching and warm, Rose & Crown seems perfectly rooted in its historical digs. Located in an updated, circa early 1900s Victorian charmer within Heritage Square, the British pub offers more than 50 different stripes of local and imported brews alongside heartwarming edible standbys like burgers, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and yes: bangers and mash. High-definition screens surround, providing great perches for prime-time spectator sports. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. 628 E. Adams St., Downtown.

Serving modern American chow with a rustic French sensibility, St. Francis is housed in a slickly renovated, circa-1950s office building replete with updated mid-century modern charms. Serving an efficient menu of well-crafted items with a primed focus on dishes “wood-fired,” St. Francis utilizes flavors equally bold and nuanced, where needed. One noted menu standout is the take on the classic seafood stew, a French bouillabaisse, made hearty with fresh mussels, clams, shrimp and fish. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday to Saturday 11 to 11, Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. 111 E. Camelback Rd., Uptown.

(602) 252.3545 Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish/Pub A sturdy Downtown favorite for years, whether for a dependable workday lunch or late-night crawl, Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish Pub effortlessly delivers the goods — and the atmosphere. With Guinness on tap and straightforward bar food on the menu, a day’s waylay at Seamus’ while catching up on the scoreboards (via one of the bar’s numerous televisions) is an experience ensured to deliver.18 W. Monroe St., Downtown. (602) 253.6081 Sens Japanese/Fusion Lunch Monday to Friday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Dinner Monday to Thursday 5 p.m. to midnight, Friday to Saturday 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday 5 p.m. to close. 705 N. 1st St., Evans Churchill.

Founded by Henry Hooker in 1872, Sierra Bonita Ranch was known for its innovative ranching methods and welcoming hospitality. Today, Sierra Bonita Grill's chef Sergio Mendez and crew help celebrate our state’s ranching heritage, customs and traditions, presenting a menu strong with southwestern and Mexican flavors unique to Arizona.

(602) 254.6700 Sun Up Brewing Company Bar and Grill Known widely for its excellent brew, this Central Phoenix original has become one of the most respected beer crafters in the city. Tight and casual, Sun Up has also become a great place for simple pub grub done well. From burgers and sandwiches, to salads and an array of Southwestern-inspired starters, Sun Up offers much to accompany its serious selection of frothy, wheaty suds.

With a vast menu of Thai staples, from curries (green, red and coconut) to noodles, soups and salads, including budget-friendly lunch specials, this Melrose spot should not be overlooked. Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 12 to 9 p.m. 616 W. Indian School Rd., Melrose.

(602) 253.8631 That’s a Wrap Sandwiches Tiny and efficient, That’s a Wrap serves an extensive menu of interesting wraps, as well as a smattering of salads and rice bowls. Great for a fast bite that won’t empty the wallet, the cheerful, fast-casual café emphasizes the healthy, but doesn’t stress it — satisfaction and flavor are essentials here. Throw in a glass of berry lemonade with your order, made fresh in house, and you can see why this place continues to be a popular neighborhood lunchtime layover.

(602) 262.5535 The Vig Uptown Tavern/Grill A restored, mid-century gem, the Vig’s Uptown location has become a south-after Central Phoenix pit stop for bar hoppers in search of hip confines and elevated bar food.

While eyeing the latest game on one of the many flat-screen tubes, the Vig Uptown rounds off the spectator experience with a lengthy menu of beers and high-fashioned cocktails, as well as a wide-casting food menu of gourmet burgers, salads and clever finger foods like pulled pork nachos and Thai-basil hot wings.

Washington St., Downtown. (602) 688.8168 Welcome Diner Diner The Garfield Historic District is a bit far from Wichita, KS, but that’s how this mid-century stamp-sized diner traveled to grace us with its quaint charm. With only nine bar stools and no waiting area, wait times can be long during peak hours, but regulars walk, bike and stumble here again and again for comforting, greasy fare that’s easy on the wallet. Everything is made to order (never in question, as the kitchen takes up almost the entire building), and freshness is the name of the game, as evidenced by distinctive touches such as an antique French potato slicer, making some of the Valley’s best fries. A revolving selection of pies, sweet toast in a cup and unlisted special requests make for a unique visit every time. Hours vary. 924 E. Roosevelt St., Garfield.

In the past few years, much of Central Phoenix has become a foodaholic's dream come true: legit Mexican kitchens, airy New American modern spaces and more than a few trendy wine bar bistros. As Downtown Phoenix continues to grow respected in the food realm, expect more exciting places to pop up in the coming months. The rumor list is always brewing, and with so much adaptive reuse going on in the city, no wonder local celebrity chefs are making their move to the city. While we're no Seattle, the coffeehouse-to-human ratio has been steadily climbing for some time. From SoDo north to Uptown, Phoenix is onto something: locally roasted beans, handcrafted pastries and intelligent, unique coffee culture is on the rise. Expect a sea of glowing laptops at nearly every establishment. And, who can forget that Downtown is home to some of the quirkiest dive bars and classiest cocktail spots around. The bar scene along Roosevelt Row, Grand, Central and throughout Downtown is alive and well. Team DPJ regularly can't decide between a $2 PBR pitcher at Bikini Lounge or the latest concoction at SideBar. That's nightlife in the city, just the way we like it.

Charming, quaint, quiet and vibrant all at once, Willo is seemingly a world away from the Midtown Central Avenue area that borders its eastern edge. Though the land that is now Willo (roughly from 7th Avenue to the west, Central Avenue to the east and Thomas Road to the north, McDowell Road to the south) wasn't developed as residential tracts until the 1920s, the land was purchased beginning in the 1870s and used as farmland for nearly 50 years following. It wasn't until the Period Revival style of the 1930s that Willo began to bloom into one of Phoenix's primary suburban districts. The results are wide varieties of architectural design: Greek Revival, Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival and Pueblo Revival among them. Development continued past World War II, and historic designation was achieved in the 1980s, preventing Midtown's increasing urbanization from encroaching on this prized neighborhood. Willo is known as one of the more fiercely stingy historic neighborhoods, and for good reason: it's surrounded on all four sides by some of Central Phoenix's busiest thoroughfares. Though development has continued to expand around Willo, it has maintained its appeal as one of Phoenix's prized neighborhoods. Check out Willo Historic District for more information.

Midtown Phoenix is known by a number of names, among them "Central Corridor," but this financial district has been quietly growing for years. Home to notable landmarks such as Park Central Mall, St. Joseph's Hospital, One Lexington condominiums, Steele Indian School Park and a growing array of businesses, residences, restaurants and hangouts, Midtown may not receive as much press as the city core does, but it thrives in its understated cool. The light rail line flows seamlessly through the heart of the district, Central Avenue, running straight up the middle. The boundaries of this district differ depending on who you talk to, but the absolute core is at Central Avenue and Thomas Road, where banks, law offices, communications companies and more occupy the high-rise buildings. It's generally accepted that McDowell Road is the southern boundary of the area, thus encompassing the often-coined "Museum District" between McDowell and Thomas (home to the Heard Museum and Phoenix Art Museum). A few smaller historic districts, including Alvarado, Ashland Place, East Alvarado, La Hacienda and Los Olivos, are encompassed within this area. It's often debated whether Indian School Road or the canal is the northernmost boundary — we'll let you decide. For more information, check out the Midtown Museum District Neighborhood Association.

A large area ripe with revitalization and renewal today, the entire neighborhood has evolved visibly in recent years, becoming one of the most sought-after residential addresses in Central Phoenix. Though not as manicured as the neighboring Alvarado, Willo or Encanto-Palmcroft neighborhoods, the more eclectic, artsy Coronado contains an equally established patchwork of historic residences largely constructed between the 1920s and 1940s. Technically bounded by McDowell Road to the south, Thomas Road to the north, and sandwiched between 7th and 16th Streets, one of the most active sectors of commercial activity within the Coronado neighborhood exists along 7th Street, particularly centered around the secondary intersection of 7th and Sheridan Streets. Referred to as Sheridan Square, this immediate area is home to a diverse collection of businesses, ranging from restaurants both casual and high-end, to wine bars, coffee shops and beauty salons, each of which draw patrons citywide to the area.

ASU's new buildings have been widely regarded for their energy efficiency, each earning (or pending) LEED certification, and changing the makeup of the Downtown Phoenix skyline in the process. The opening of these new structures coincided with the opening of Civic Space Park in 2009, located between Central and 1st avenues at Polk Street. The park houses the "Her Secret is Patience" art installation, the A.E. England building (an event space and home to Fair Trade Café and Store) and a park amphitheater.

Story Historic District. F.Q. Story is one of Central Phoenix's premier residential districts, with a wide-spanning number of architectural influences. Named after developer Francis Quarles Story, who helped develop Grand Avenue and its streetcar presence in the 1880s, most of the homes here were built from the 1920s to 1940s.F.Q. Story is a collection of 600 homes that chronicles early Phoenix development. Older homes on the neighborhood's eastern edge depict the bungalow style popular in the 1920s, and as you move westward, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Cottage and Ranch influences, among others, creep up. For more information on the F.Q. Story district, visit the F.Q. Story Historic Committee.

Houses here started popping up in the early 1880s, and build-out was reached sometime in the 1930s. Annexed from the Phoenix town site at the end of the 1800s, Garfield was really the first "suburb" of the original city core. Today, the area is starting a modern revitalization. Urban, efficient structures are being developed as infill projects. Old bungalows (with a variety of architectural influence), long since forgotten, are reappearing, combining necessary contemporary fixes with the charm of the original structure. Though mostly still residential, 7th Street, the district's western boundary, remains fiercely commercial, although its once gritty reputation is changing. The district's eastern edge, near 16th Street, is home to some of the Valley's best Mexican restaurants and marketplaces. For more information on the Garfield district, visit the Garfield Organization.

Today's Lower Grand (running roughly from McDowell Road to the north to Van Buren Street to the south) is home to funky boutiques, convertible arts spaces, progressive live presentations and a growing emphasis on urban infill and reuse. What were warehouses, garages and groceries in the '20s, '30s and '40s are now converted office spaces, venues, galleries and eateries. For more information on Grand Avenue, check out the Grand Avenue Merchants Association.

Evans Churchill is perhaps the greatest example of a Downtown neighborhood in transition. Severely blighted in the '70s, '80s and early '90s, the arts community took this all-but-forgotten (and frankly, very gritty) neighborhood in as its own, and the transformation took off from there. Much of the neighborhood remains in development or in limbo, with vast chunks of dirt lots.

You won't have a balcony (except for the Penthouse), the pool and gym are in the basement and you'll have a few challenges with parking, BUT if you are in love with Downtown Phoenix and a true urbanite the pure charm and history of Orpheum Lofts is tough to resist, even tougher when you throw in the historic building property tax break.

Phoenix's longest designated historic district, Roosevelt is ripe with well-preserved turn-of-the-century homes, tree-lined streets, manicured lawns and a growing number of reuse/infill properties that have enhanced the neighborhood. Though the area was founded in the 1860s, what is today's Roosevelt district (spanning from McDowell to Fillmore streets, and Central to 7th avenues) was mostly developed from the 1890s to 1930s. Many of the properties still standing in the neighborhood today were built during this time. Development began along Central Avenue (then Center Street) to the north first (those properties have long since been replaced by retail, Trinity Cathedral, light rail and others) and slowly transitioned south toward Fillmore into the 1920s. Present day Roosevelt is a mix of architectural influences, most notably the California and Craftsman bungalow and Period Revival styles. Roosevelt is home to a growing number of restaurants and storefronts and infill developments, but it remains one of Downtown Phoenix's quieter, more coveted neighborhoods. For more information on the Roosevelt district, visit the Roosevelt Action Association.

A large area ripe with revitalization and renewal today, the entire neighborhood has evolved visibly in recent years, becoming one of the most sought-after residential addresses in Central Phoenix. Though not as manicured as the neighboring Alvarado, Willo or Encanto-Palmcroft neighborhoods, the more eclectic, artsy Coronado contains an equally established patchwork of historic residences largely constructed between the 1920s and 1940s. Technically bounded by McDowell Road to the south, Thomas Road to the north, and sandwiched between 7th and 16th Streets, one of the most active sectors of commercial activity within the Coronado neighborhood exists along 7th Street, particularly centered around the secondary intersection of 7th and Sheridan Streets. Referred to as Sheridan Square, this immediate area is home to a diverse collection of businesses, ranging from restaurants both casual and high-end, to wine bars, coffee shops and beauty salons, each of which draw patrons citywide to the area. For more information on 7th Street/Coronado, check out Coronado Neighborhood Association.  ]]> 5264 1890 2 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/districts/fq-story/ Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:56:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?page_id=5266 Includes F.Q. Story Historic District. Bounded by the McDowell Road and Grand Avenue thoroughfares, you would think F.Q. Story reverberates with the hustling ambiance of both roadways. Not so. F.Q. Story is one of Greater Downtown Phoenix's premier residential districts, with wide-ranging architectural influences. Named after developer Francis Quarles Story, who helped develop Grand Avenue and its streetcar presence in the 1880s, most of the homes here were built from the 1920s to 1940s. Bound by Grand Avenue to the west, McDowell Road to the north, 7th Avenue to the east and Roosevelt Street to the south, F.Q. Story is a collection of 600 homes that chronicles early Phoenix development. Older homes on the neighborhood's eastern edge depict the bungalow style popular in the 1920s, and as you move westward, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Cottage and Ranch influences, among others, creep in. Though little commercial development ever took place in the neighborhood, its boundary streets are within easy walking distance, and provide all sorts of Downtown amenities. For more information on the F.Q. Story district, visit the F.Q. Story Historic Committee.

Roughly stretching from Fillmore to Jackson streets, and 7th Street to 3rd Avenue, this centralized district is the home of the original Phoenix town site. In recent years, more than $4 billion in public and private sector development has been approved for the area, steadily making it a hot spot for retail, dining, urban living and entertainment.

Both developed in the late 1920s following the explosion of the streetcar and the automobile; they gradually came together as expansion occurred. The original plans for Palmcroft called for a neighborhood of winding streets lined with lush foliage and houses that "looked toward each other." The Encanto subdivision's main draw was the straight-on views of Encanto Park, which is still today one of the city's largest and most popular recreation spots. Palmcroft (to the south of Palm Lane) and Encanto (to the north) gradually combined into what is now one of the largest historic districts in Phoenix. Palm Lane, once the dividing line between the two subdivisions, is one of the more iconic residential streets in Phoenix, characteristically lined with soaring palm trees. Period Revival in architectural range, the homes in this neighborhood use a variety of materials, orientations, colors and designs. It is perhaps the most architecturally interesting and varied among all the historic districts in the city, borrowing influences from all over the world. Encanto Park, with its lagoon, "Enchanted Island" and recreation, is still the iconic park of the Avenues. For more information on Encanto-Palmcroft, check out the Encanto-Palmcroft Historic Preservation Association. ]]> 5287 1890 4 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/districts/evans-churchill/ Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:51:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?page_id=5288 Includes East Evergreen Historic District and Townsend Park. A lot of those who travel to Downtown Phoenix for arts-related events end up in Evans Churchill and don't even know it. Within the district's boundaries (roughly McDowell to the north, Fillmore to the south, 7th Street to the east and Central Avenue to the west) stand many of the most relevant cultural aspects of Downtown Phoenix's resurgence in recent years. This predominantly commercial district is commonly known as Roosevelt Row and is guided by the Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation (CDC). The most popular hub of the First and Third Fridays art walks is right in the center of the district near 5th and Roosevelt streets. Many of Phoenix's best-known art galleries call the district home, as well as some of its hippest restaurants and shops. Roosevelt Row's eastern side has become a well-known hangout spot, and hubs of activity are developing along the light rail line on Central Avenue and the corner of 3rd and Garfield streets. Originally, the neighborhood was the two-block area spanning from 4th to 6th streets and Roosevelt to Garfield streets. This area was never given historic designation, but most of the original buildings on these blocks still stand today in some form or another with mixed-use purposes. Evans Churchill is perhaps the greatest example of a Downtown neighborhood in transition. Severely blighted in the '70s, '80s and early '90s, the arts community took this all-but-forgotten (and frankly, very gritty) neighborhood in as its own, and the transformation took off from there. Much of the neighborhood remains in development or in limbo, with vast chunks of dirt lots. For more information, see the Evans Churchill Community Association and Roosevelt Row CDC.

Houses here started popping up in the early 1880s, and build-out was reached sometime in the 1930s. Annexed from the Phoenix town site at the end of the 1800s, Garfield was really the first "suburb" of the original city core. Today, the area is starting a modern revitalization. Urban, efficient structures are being developed as infill projects. Old bungalows (with a variety of architectural influences), long since forgotten, are reappearing, combining necessary contemporary fixes with the charm of the original structure. Though mostly still residential, 7th Street, the district's western boundary, remains fiercely commercial, although its once gritty reputation is changing. The district's eastern edge, near 16th Street, is home to some of the Valley's best Mexican restaurants and marketplaces. For more information on the Garfield district, visit the Garfield Organization.

As Grand Avenue became part of the US-60 freeway system in the 1920s, more and more out-of-towners traveled the roadway, instantly making it a commercial hub. As Downtown Phoenix's population slowly expanded westward, what is now Lower Grand Avenue (running roughly from McDowell Road south to Van Buren Street) became a hub for business and culture. Today's Lower Grand is home to funky boutiques, convertible arts spaces, progressive live presentations and a growing emphasis on urban infill and reuse. What were warehouses, garages and groceries in the '20s, '30s and '40s are now converted office spaces, venues, galleries and eateries.

Loosely defined as north of Indian School Road (or the canal, depending on your point of view) and south of Missouri Avenue, Uptown Phoenix is home to some main arteries of the central core of Phoenix. This we know: Uptown Phoenix centers at the light rail-fueled resurgence around Central Avenue and Camelback Road, where eateries, shopping, office space and residential areas are once again at a premium. Uptown Phoenix has become an important district, anchoring the north end of the city hub. Uptown is home to a few of Phoenix's desirable historic districts, including Medlock Place (7th to Central avenues, Camelback Road to Missouri Avenue), Windsor Square (Central Avenue to 7th Street, Camelback Road to Missouri Avenue) and Pierson Place (5th to 1st avenues, Grand Canal to Camelback Road), each offering the tranquil neighborhood feel within a few blocks from major thoroughfares.

In the past four years, the size of the Phoenix Convention Center has tripled to more than 900,000 square feet.

Light rail was completed and quickly became the transportation mode of choice, particularly for those attending downtown sporting events.

More than 1,500 additional hotel rooms have come on line, with the total now well exceeding the requisite 19,000.

CityScape was completed and has made its mark with top-notch dining, shopping and entertainment venues.

And ASU now has a significant downtown presence, with thousands of students, including residents.

"HOLLIS'S TRAVELING TREE HOUSE" THROWS A BIRTHDAY PARTY AT SPACE55! Happening every first Saturday at Space55 (636 E. Pierce Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004) as part of their Late Night Series, “Hollis’s Traveling Tree House” is the story of a boy named Hollis and his adventures inside his magical (and very grumpy) treehouse. Taking the tropes and cliches of classic children shows and giving them a very adult twist, each month “Hollis’s Traveling Tree House” premieres a brand new hour long story, introducing new characters alongside a cast of recurring human and puppet characters. And in case you missed the last episode, don’t worry: while each episode has references and characters that appeared in past episodes, they’re also written to be accessible to new-comers. Come to the show once and you can experience 60 minutes of unhinged, down-the-rabbit-hole storytelling; come to the show every month and you can watch an entire story arc, where characters change and die and pick up drug habits and learn questionable lessons, unfold on the Space55 stage.

20^th Anniversary Susan G. Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure Registration Now Open 

This year marks two decades of racing for a cure in Phoenix. And, beginning today, online registration for the 20^th Annual Susan G. Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure taking place on Sunday, Oct. 14 in the State Capitol District is now open at www.komenphoenix.org. This year’s theme “Together, We Promise” is a reminder to the affiliate, its partners and participants that the impact the Race can make is greatest when the community works together. “In celebration of our 20^th year, we as an affiliate are challenging ourselves to make this the best race ever,” said Heather Roberts, Race and Special Events Director. “We’re asking the community to do the same by challenging participants to ask 20 friends to join them and/or to raise an additional $20 in donations for the cause.” Last year, more than 25,000 participants helped raise nearly $1.8 million towards education, screening and treatment for the medically underserved throughout central and northern Arizona and international research efforts. These efforts are what keep the Komen promise – to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures – alive. “We’ve got to keep our momentum going,” said Roberts. “The Race for the Cure is the single-biggest fundraiser supporting our mission, which is critical to the uninsured and underinsured women and men throughout central and northern Arizona. Quite simply, any reduction in participation or funds raised will result in a reduction of services provided through our community grants.” With donations 100 percent committed to the promise, a full 75 percent of all funds raised stay in the community and 25 percent goes to support international research into the causes and cures for breast cancer. Since its inception, Komen Phoenix has granted more than $17 million to support life saving breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs and $5 million to international research efforts. Key to the Affiliate’s fundraising efforts is sponsor support, which allows Komen’s dollars to go even farther. Komen Phoenix is ever grateful to welcome back Fry’s Food Stores as its VIP Partner for the 2012 Race. This will mark the eighth year in a row that Fry’s has participated as VIP Partner, contributing more than $1.7 million in cash and in-kind contributions through the years. The Phoenix Race is one of the largest 5K events in Arizona and also features a one-mile family fun run and walk. This year’s event schedule is: 6 a.m.                   Race Site Opens: Registration, Teams Area, Community Village, Corporate Village 6:30 a.m.            Survivors’ Parade Line-Up 6:45 a.m.             Survivors’ Celebration and Parade 7:15 a.m.             1 Mile Walk/Run 8:05 a.m.            Breast Cancer Survivor’s 5K Run 8:20 a.m.            5K Run 8:40 a.m.            5K Walk For more information and to register both individually or as a team, please visit www.komenphoenix.org.]]> 25841 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=26299 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=26299 Some news items don’t need translation.

In developing the Wellness Partnership with Maricopa County, O’Brien sought to not only give County employees the opportunity to utilize the 17 YMCA neighborhood branches throughout Metro Phoenix as well as one in  Yuma and one in Flagstaff, but expand YMCA wellness services beyond the walls of those branches to County offices and fitness facilities. “Maricopa County recognizes the long term benefits of encouraging and providing access to healthy lifestyle opportunities for their employees,” said O’Brien. “By providing wellness education, access to fitness equipment and classes as well as health assessments, the YMCA strives to improve the overall health of the community and participating Maricopa County employees and their families.” The Valley of the Sun YMCA works with several organizations, both private and public, to provide wellness, health and fitness strategies aimed at improving the overall wellness of their employees.

Artistic Tattoo celebrates 25 years in the Valley of the Sun and is one of the oldest tattoo shops in Arizona. Artistic Tattoo has grown with Phoenix and rode the ebb and flow of the Melrose District’s struggle to keep its head above water during the city’s installation of the light rail system. Located at 7th Ave and Camelback, it is now easily accessible and business is booking thanks in part to the resurgence in popularity of tattooing brought about by such main stream network television shows as Miami Ink, New York Ink, Tattoo Masters and Best Ink. Tattooing has entered the limelight through television and Artistic Tattoo provides the experience new or seasoned tattoo customers are expecting after watching those popular shows. Jim Watson, owner of Artistic Tattoo, recognized a need for a skilled and dynamic team of tattooers to run his Phoenix shop in entering its quarter century anniversary so he brought in the entire crew from the established Jade Monkey Tattoo shop to revitalize his own shop. The new crew started by completely changing the outside of the building to meet the expectations of new customers seeking the most stylish place to get their ink. The building now has a colorful exterior to match the personalities and artwork contained within. The exterior renovation on the building was done by local artist Alan Rogerson, the same artist that painted Superior Tattoo Equipment, located on the Black Canyon Highway access road between Bethany Home Road and Glendale Avenue. Since Artistic Tattoo’s facelift, there has been a steady stream of people taking their pictures with the building, and there has even been a music video shot with the walls as the backdrop. The crew is currently overhauling the inside of the building (pictured left) to make it brighter and more comfortable in an effort to create the perfect environment to receive a new tattoo. Levi Smith (pioneer in creating scannable tattooed QR codes) and his team; Sean “Weezer” Biskup, Davin “Mule” Yant, Johnny Baldero - the master known as “Moth”, Ted “TedToo” Barnhart, Jane Adler of Facial Art cosmetic tattooing, and James Watson of Mob Irons Tattoo Machines, along with premier body piercing expert Brent “B” Silver and counter kid: Colt “Dude” Smith are the face of the new Artistic Tattoo and will be returning one of the valley’s most well-known and respected tattoo shops to the forefront of the industry, re-establishing it once again as the best destination in the valley for great tattoo artwork. The new crew in a very short time has established a reputation of quality work, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Through adversity and the struggle to create a tattoo shop that shines above the dozens of others in the city, they have shown dedication and resourcefulness. All of which has continued to serve them in the increasingly competitive and open marketplace of body modification. Equipped with art experience beyond that of tattooing, the new team is schooled in fields such as painting, sculpture, and even graphic design. Stay tuned to the progress of Artistic Tattoo as there are big plans for the shop. The new crew is converting the shop into becoming as much of an art gallery as a gallery of fine tattoo flash artwork, and focusing much more attention on custom work than the same old skulls and flowers off the wall. The NEW Artistic Tattoo celebrates their love for the industry and good art on a daily basis. See for yourself, stop in and check out all the changes and let the crew introduce themselves. If you are not already a loyal customer of the shop, we’re certain after meeting these guys and browsing the artwork they showcase you will become a lifelong client and friend! Artistic Tattoo is open Monday to Thursday, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Photography courtesy of Artistic Tattoo.]]> 26594 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=26671 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:28:22 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=26671 Some news items don’t need translation.

Although Phoenix isn't home to famed design schools such as FIDM or Parsons, it is the home for Phoenix College, which houses an exceptional fashion program for those looking to take a dip into the pool of fashion design. The students who go through the program in large parts have Sylvia Phillips to thank. Phillips came to the college when it only offered a few fashion courses, and saw that students were interested in learning more, which drove her to enhance the fashion design program. "It [the program] has changed a lot. We have added a lot of courses and our enrollment has grown a great deal," Phillips said. [caption id="attachment_27599" align="alignright" width="350"] Fashion boards the students draw inspiration from for their designs.[/caption] For a student to receive a degree they must successfully complete the two-year program of rigorous classes as well as complete an internship or a portfolio class. Phillips said, "When they complete the program they should be able to design and work in a costuming business as a costumer." Those who do not directly begin their fashion career often choose to further their education, with many Phoenix College graduates attending Parsons or the Fashion Institute of Technology after they complete the program. "Our students are very diverse; very talented. They have a passion for fashion," Phillips said of the roughly 300 students she sees each semester. Although Phoenix College is not the only school to offer fashion designing programs, they do believe they have something others in the industry envy. "What sets us apart from other Fashion Design programs is our curriculum," Phillips said. {This came from email, so not sure if Phillips or Michelle said this...} The program educates students in fashion design, pattern design, fashion illustration, apparel construction and costuming. Students learn various techniques first hand, as well as they have the opportunity to work with some of the latest technology in computer assisted pattern making and fashion design to further enhance their experiences at the college.]]> 26853 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=27081 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=27081 Some news items don’t need translation.

The new community development group will serves as an umbrella organization to Downtown Phoenix Partnership and Phoenix Community Alliance, downtown’s business improvement and main advocacy groups. In September 2011, DPJ guest editor David Leibowitz sat down for a roundtable discussion about the evolution of downtown and the pending restructuring of downtown organizations. Originally published in the Nov/Dec 2011 edition of Downtown Phoenix Journal Magazine. the conversation reveals.... An interesting read in light of David Krietor's recent appointment. [caption id="attachment_31072" align="aligncenter" width="540"] All roads lead to downtown Phoenix. Photo by Jack London.[/caption] "To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance…" - Albert Einstein Downtown Phoenix evolves on a near-daily basis. Guest editor David Leibowitz and a panel of city leaders explore what a difference a year makes. Participants in the conversation include Deputy City Manager David Krietor, Phoenix Community Alliance Board Chair Marty Shultz and President Don Keuth, Downtown Phoenix Partnership President and CEO David Roderique, and RED Development Managing Partner Mike Ebert. David Leibowitz: Comments from a year ago suggested Downtown was at a crossroads (see Nov/Dec 2010 edition of DPJ Magazine). Where are we today? Martin Shultz: We’re at a very good point of the development stage in the Downtown and Central City area because major investment by the public and the private sector has occurred. There have been great discussions among and between the leaders in the Downtown and Central City area, from neighborhood groups to corporate and civic leaders. You look at the vision and ask where does it all fit in the context of downtown? This place called downtown is really a series of places. But how does it get knit together operationally and in the minds of the people all over the world? They are going to use, be attracted to, and enjoy downtown Phoenix in a sense that hasn’t occurred in about 40 years in our community. We’re ready to come to some conclusions to determine what organizations – and relationships – would be in the future so that we can do what we need to do. Leibowitz: Does that produce a sense of anxiety, or a sense of excitement, knowing that what you’ve done for a long time is now about to change in some way shape or form? Don Keuth: It’s exciting. Downtown is changing, the central city is changing. So do how do we make sure we’re tuned up to respond? Shultz: We’ve done things the same way for a number of years, and it’s been a great success. It was a great model for growing and developing the downtown. But for what’s next? It probably is not the best model. Leibowitz: What components need to be present to continue what we’ve done correctly in the past but to expand it in a different way? David Roderique: What we really need to focus on moving forward is this kind of small scale, street-level experience we keep talking about that is so critical. It’s really got to improve in order to truly be a great downtown. We’ve talked about the need for a lot more residential, so we have to have bodies here 24/7. I mean that’s critical to that experience. I also think it’s very important to think about downtown in a broader context. Because it’s not just us (the Downtown Phoenix Partnership) and PCA (the Phoenix Community Alliance). There are lots of organizations around the fringes that are part of the fabric of downtown that haven’t felt like they’ve had as much of a voice. I think that’s a perception out there that we need to work on. It’s important that we look at what's going to be the most effective way for us to push forward in the future. Leibowitz: Mike, as a guy whose company has a fair amount of risk in downtown, does what you’re hearing square with your sense of what is needed to drive downtown to another level? Mike Ebert: The last 20 years has been about the mega-project, because you had to create the nest. The nest has been formed, so now how do you become great? How do we adopt best practices and create an environment where we have a lot of people at the table for these discussions? We have to come up with organizational formats that give people a voice, so they can get engaged. How do we together communicate a real vision for downtown? We’ve added a university, hotels, a convention center, and lots of jobs. We’ve added grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, entertainment venues and retail stores just in the last couple of years. The Downtown work force population has increased significantly. How do we educate the public? Leibowitz: Does the City have the resources to be a partner in this effort or does the City have to find a new way to be involved? David Krietor: I think it’s about the will more than the resources. We’ve outgrown the current model. The bottom line is how do we create a vibrant, throbbing neighborhood that functions as a coherent community? How do you structure yourself so that you can provide leadership for this diverse community and function as one voice and advocate? Leibowitz: What is the City’s role in that? Krietor: I think that the City needs to be a really strong partner, but the City can’t be in charge. I think this has to be more of a generic effort among the divergent interests that are downtown and the City has to be there. We have to tie these divergent groups together. And the model that we have right now is just not able to do that. Leibowitz: How do you bring diverse groups to this conversation? Shultz: Some people say the guys who have been around forever think that that’s the way it has to be – and always will be. I don’t believe that. In this day and age, the millennials are going to dictate the kinds of stores and activities [here]. They’re involved. These are the individuals who are actually going to people this place in the future. They are welcome and they have to be in a position to at least express their viewpoint. We have to facilitate that. Leibowitz: The people that you are making the offer to often believe that it’s not really the case. Keuth: I think you’ve seen that there is a common interest. We may not agree today but someday we’re going to agree. We’ve seen that happen time and time again. People realize that we’re all looking for the same good things to happen to this area – we might come at it differently – but eventually it’s like, Hey, we’re doing the same thing. Leibowitz: Do we have a clear sense of what Downtown Phoenix is, or is that still sort of up for grabs to a certain degree? Roderique: Brands evolve constantly. We had Copper Square. That obviously wasn’t well received and it particularly wasn’t well received by the outlying area. So we went through a re-branding process and we now are just plain old Downtown Phoenix. As we move from more of a development phase to more of an operations phase for downtown, the brand will likely shift again. I mean that’s just kind of expected. Shultz: The people who are in charge of the established organizations need to figure out what the new organization is for the purpose of moving forward. We have not set up the structure that allows us to get together at this point and talk through what the future is going to be. Krietor: We need an organization that’s nimble enough to help CityScape be successful, but can also be an advocate for other parts of downtown, like the emerging collection of businesses in the McDowell corridor, for example. We need to do this not just for the big players, but we also need to be a strong advocate for these other people that are putting a stake in the ground, that are making an economic commitment, that are vested. The key is don’t worry if they’re big or small. Shultz: We recognize that maybe we’ve grown out of this pair of pants and now the question is what’s the next suit of clothes? But we know this. There will be many more interested constituencies that are ultimately going to be, not only listened to, but heard. The organizations of the future are going to need to be nimble enough to envelope a larger, and frankly, irregular shaped new entity. David’s operation (DPP) is chartered for 90 square blocks, and we are not 90 square blocks. There are strategic corporate changes that need to be made. Leibowitz: Mike, do you feel a kinship with the folks who are up at 7^th Ave. and McDowell or is that a foreign country from where you sit? Ebert: I’m hoping (what’s happening on) McDowell makes the neighborhood around it stronger, which makes downtown stronger. What’s going on at Central and Camelback with Windsor and Postino is great for downtown. The success of nearby neighborhoods is the key to downtown. So whatever we can do to help support central city development, we’re all over it. It’s the old saying, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats.’ As these other areas are successful, we become more successful.]]> 31067 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=32049 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:13:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=32049 As an avid reader of fashion blogs and pursuant of all things fashion, I would like to shine some light on those who bring style to a whole different level in downtown Phoenix. Fashion plays a huge part in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. With a great mix of people and a growing culture, I know that style can soon flourish throughout the downtown Phoenix area.

I am in search of the people who use their clothes as a means to express themselves, as well as a way to go out into the world and say, this is who I am. I am often inspired by the creativity and the cohesion that one can bring into an outfit. Whether at local coffee shops, museums, or art galleries, I am on a quest of documenting the various styles of inspiring people throughout downtown.

First, I would like to introduce myself…

Name: Miranda Rivers Occupation: Student at ASU’s Walter    Cronkite school of Journalism and Communication, Part-time Waitress Hometown: Oakland, California What brought me to downtown: I came to downtown Phoenix to study journalism at Arizona State. Favorite things about downtown: All of the great coffee shops! I am a coffee enthusiast as well as a full-time student so coffee is one of my best friends. My favorite coffee shop is One Coffee located on Central and Washington. I also like going out to eat at places like Bowl of Greens and at any of the restaurants in the Arizona Center. Hobbies: Exercising, reading, hanging out with friends, and dancing. How would I describe my style: I would describe my style as eclectic and versatile. A lot of my closet is made up of vintage items. I like to mix things up every day. Some days I like to embrace my girliness (skirts are my favorite). Other days, I enjoy wearing more classic pieces like a basic shirt and a nice pair of pants. What does style mean to me: Style means wearing what I want to wear whenever I want to wear it. Fashion is fun for me. I am constantly trying to perfect my personal style so that it reflects me in the best way possible.]]> 32049 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=34780 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=34780 Community members representing Downtown Phoenix and beyond (including DPJ) have been working on a plan to make Central Avenue sparkle and shine during the upcoming holiday season.

The city of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is asking for input from the Valley’s residents and bicycling community to develop a citywide 20-year bicycle master plan.  The plan will provide priorities for bicycle infrastructure investment and transportation corridors; serve as an update to the city’s General Plan bicycle elements; and propose changes to city zoning codes to make Phoenix more bicycle-friendly for residents and visitors alike. “More and more people are choosing to use bicycles to get around the city, and that means we need to provide safe and comfortable options for bicyclists,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “Public input in the bicycle master plan will shape our city’s transportation landscape for decades to come. Individuals will be able to provide feedback in several ways.  They can post detailed information on current routes they use via an interactive wiki-map tool, available at http://wikimapping.net/wikimap/Phoenix-Bicycle-Master-Plan.html.  The tool also allows riders to highlight barriers to travel they experience, and allows them to show their desired routes to favorite destinations.  In addition, the Street Transportation Department will hold four public meetings to gather input from the public on desired bicycle routes and barriers to cycling. “We’ve heard loud and clear from residents that they want to be able to bike for work and for fun in our city,” said Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee chair Councilwoman Thelda Williams.  “This effort will help us attract talent, business investment, tourism and more importantly, make Phoenix an even more enjoyable place to live.” Public meetings on the bike master plan will be conducted in late October:

• 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 Goelet A. C. Beuf Community Center 3435 W. Pinnacle Peak Road
• 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24 Devonshire Senior Center 2802 E. Devonshire Ave.

Statements from City of Phoenix representatives: “The City of Phoenix family is devastated to learn that retired Deputy City Manager Jerome Miller died today.  Jerome worked in public service for more than 34 years with the City of Phoenix, State of Arizona and other government agencies.  He was a trusted, dedicated and respected professional.  In addition to his city family, Jerome was dearly loved by the many neighborhood leaders, housing advocates and senior service providers he closely worked with throughout his career.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this terribly difficult time.” -- City Manager David Cavazos "I am deeply saddened about the loss of Jerome Miller, who I worked with for more than 13 years.  Jerome was the consummate professional -- an incredible public servant who cared deeply about our neighborhoods and residents and dedicated his life to the people of Phoenix. "  -- Mayor Greg Stanton "Today, we learned of the passing of former Deputy City Manager Jerome Miller, one of the finest examples of a public servant I have had the pleasure to work alongside - and I truly mean that.  Jerome entered public service for one reason: to serve the community he loved.  If there was a neighborhood cleanup, community event or park opening, Jerome was there.  I remember meeting with Jerome to discuss an idea to engage volunteers to help rid our city of graffiti.  Jerome helped turn that idea into a national model for graffiti abatement and volunteerism, known as Blight Busters.  When the residents of Lindo Park, in South Phoenix, wanted to rid their neighborhood park of drug and gang activity, Jerome unleashed the "Take Back Your Neighborhood Program" and empowered the residents to create a safe environment for their kids to play.  Jerome was a humble man, a kind man and a true leader.  He cared for all residents, reserving a special level of compassion for those in need of the basic necessities of life.  His passion, at times, could quiet a room, but his only goal was ensuring the best customer service and programs for our residents.  Though my heart is heavy, I am smiling, too, knowing there is a very special angel in heaven.  May God bless our friend, Jerome Miller." -- Councilman Michael Nowakowski]]> 36087 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=36538 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=36538 DPJ’s Wire series delivers news and information straight from the source without translation. Prickly pear cactus (nopales in Spanish) are so ubiquitous to the Sonoran Desert they are almost invisible.  However, this cactus has an important history in the cultures native to the Southwest.  The second annual Nopalpalooza, a free, family-friendly event happening at The Hive, 2222 N. 16th Street on November 9, 2013, 10 am to 5 pm, aspires to move the prickly pear to a place of culinary and cultural prominence for residents of Phoenix. "When tourists come to Phoenix, the first thing they should be asking is, 'Where can I eat cactus?' as tourists to Seattle ask about salmon," asserts Nopalpalooza co-founder Monika Woolsey.  Woolsey's love of the edible cactus was ignited when working with local artist Joe Ray on a hunger fundraiser for her company, Hip Veggies.  She realized that her Native American and Latino neighbors, as they integrated with her own culture, were forgetting about foods that could reduce their risk of diabetes and heart disease, affecting critical numbers in those populations. Woolsey and Ray's first Nopalpalooza, featuring art, food, and beverage containing prickly pear cactus, was so well attended they decided to create an annual event, held at The Hive, in Phoenix' Calle 16 Latino Cultural District. This year's event will again include an art exhibit, as well as a "Wall of Nopal" mural; both are fundraisers to help raise the funds needed to create an urban prickly pear farm in the Coronado Historic District.  This farm will grow nopales, which will be sold for culinary use in the Phoenix area. In addition to art, Nopalpalooza will feature foods containing prickly pear and prickly pear fruit, from chefs including Liam Murtagh of Bragg's Factory Diner, High Desert Foods (Globe, Arizona), and Whole Foods Market.  Crafts by local artists incorporating the cactus, and an afternoon of kid-friendly activities including a scavenger hunt and a pinata have been planned to make the activity fun and educational for everyone in the family. Co-sponsors of this event include the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, the Calle 16 Mural Project, and Denizen Concepts.

Okay, maybe there’s a bit of time you can take over a cup of coffee to keep tabs on what’s going on with Downtown Phoenix, Inc. Read on…

Organizational Capacity

Financial Tracking. Downtown Phoenix Partnership (DPP) and Downtown Phoenix, Inc. (DPI) have selected a new auditor: CBIZ Mayer Hoffman McCann. Our DPP/DPI controller, Nicole Friedrichs, handled the selection process with guidance from Ron Butler, Ernst & Young managing partner and DPP’s new chair. We put our Directors & Officers insurance policy in place and filed our annual report with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Our 501(c)6 application remains pending.

Welcome Aboard. By virtue of his new role as DPP chair, Ron Butler will join the DPI board. In addition, Ed Zuercher, acting city manager, and Ken Van Winkle, managing partner with Lewis Roca Rothgerber (a new DPI investor), will also join the DPI board. We are having discussions with three other potential investors, so there’s a good chance our board will grow even further.

Beefing Up. While the DPI staff remains lean (me), we have put in place three contracts to help with our growing work program. Long-time downtown advocate and “connector” Jim McPherson is working with me to craft our bimonthly communication with key downtown opinion leaders and prepare our 2014 DPI/DPP/PCA consolidated program of work. Jim, along with Jill Bernstein, Catrina Kahler, and Carol Poore, also helped draft the new Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) mission statement document. Dorina Bustamante, another well connected downtown advocate and entrepreneur, has been retained to assist with PCA membership development and programming. Finally, we have entered into a partnership with the Downtown Phoenix Journal (DPJ) to amplify our message. DPJ will produce three digitized publications per month. They currently have a subscriber base of 1,600 (which we hope to increase). Given our start-up status we are trying to fill gaps in the most cost-effective manner.

 

Economic and Cultural Vitality

Taste of the Trucks. Evans Churchill Neighborhood and Roosevelt Row will host the 2013 Taste of the Trucks two-day food gala Saturday, October 26 from 6-10 p.m. and Sunday, October 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each day features the best bites on wheels with mobile fare from 25 trucks, local music, and a beer garden. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit here.

Zombie Walk 5. There will be a feeding frenzy of a different sort happening Saturday, October 26 at Heritage & Science Park. Zombie Walk 5 returns from 2-11 p.m., where an expected zombie horde of 15,000 will infiltrate downtown in search of live music, kid’s activities, beer and, of course, brains. This free, family friendly event is presented by DPP and features a 1.2-mile undead shuffle through downtown at 6 p.m. and a performance from nationally known rockers and zombie enthusiasts Powerman 5000 at 9:30 p.m. All the gory details can be found here.

And let’s not forget these upcoming events:

A Visual Feast for the Eyes. The Greater Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau just released a snazzy new video showcasing downtown Phoenix… “where you go to dine beneath the skyline, see live music at a club or concert hall, shop for fashion or gifts at an independent retailer, watch pro sports teams, or take in the arts at a museum. All of this (and more) is within walking distance of downtown hotels, light-rail stations, and the Phoenix Convention Center.” View the video here.

Advocacy and Leadership

Janette Sadik-Khan (transformational transportation guru) does an excellent job of pointing out community “assets that are hidden in plain sight.” Janette will visit our region next week for the NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) Conference and she will see seeds of urban progress that are the result of many years of hard work and investment from many partners working collaboratively to change the way our region grows and develops. One of these successful multi-faceted partnerships, our own “asset hidden in plain sight,” is the Sustainable Communities Collaborative (SCC).

A regional effort led by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton in partnership with Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell and Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, the SCC’s 35+ public, private, and non-profit partners have toiled behind the scenes to nurture and implement: Complete Streets policies and outcomes; regional bike share; fresh and healthy food options in food deserts; new economic development models; transit-oriented developments connected to the 20-mile light rail corridor; and inclusive urban development decision-making that incorporates community and neighborhood expertise.

Downtown Voices Coalition. Downtown Voices Coalition (DVC) is a ten-year-old broad based advocacy group comprised of individuals from neighborhood groups, community based organizations, arts organizations, and neighborhood scale developers. They meet monthly and have been very helpful to DPI by acting as a sounding board for major new downtown initiatives. While the feedback tends to be very direct, we are eliminating surprises and building better relationships. At the last meeting, attended by Phoenix Mayor Stanton, ASU made a presentation on the design for the new Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and city staff discussed possible high rise private development of the Central Bus Station site at Central and Van Buren. Tim Eigo, a DPI board member, also serves as DVC’s steering committee chair.

Greening Downtown. DPP staff worked closely with the City of Phoenix to secure 15 permanent Chinese Pistache trees on First Street between Adams and Monroe streets. These permanent tree wells were not originally a part of the First Street re-design, however DPP’s Ray Cabrera worked with the City to fix the dormant street-level irrigation and secure the trees. This block was measured to be the hottest (as in warmth!) in downtown Phoenix during the Urban Form Project in 2008, and these trees should help transform this stretch into a pedestrian-friendly cool spot. You can read more about the project here.

Greening More of Downtown. On Thursday, October 24 the City of Phoenix, Phoenix Biomedical Campus, and Evans Churchill Community Association will hold a small celebration with Councilman Mike Johnson at the site of the final tree to be planted on 5th Street north of McKinley. There will be shovels on hand for anyone who wants to cast the last bit of soil over the roots to mark the successful completion of this neighborhood streetscape project. If you can break away from your normal day-to-day activities, please join us.

In closing...

I found this article and thought you might like it. San Diego is about two years ahead of us in merging their downtown organizations, but we may be ahead of them in terms of connectivity with our neighborhoods. Read the article here.

 

I just learned that on Monday at their annual conference in Albuquerque, the board of the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) will be electing downtown’s very own Chevy Humphrey, executive director of the Arizona Science Center, to the role of ASTC board president. ASTC is an international organization representing science centers and museums with more than 600 members in over 40 countries worldwide dedicated to furthering the public understanding of science among increasingly diverse audiences. Congratulations Chevy!

Also, congratulations to the Grand Avenue Merchants Association for organizing a festive Grand Avenue Festival on Saturday, and to the City for working with the neighborhood to design and implement an impressive streetscape improvement project. If you haven't visited Lower Grand lately, I encourage you to do so.

Then, if that’s not enough, read on for additional news and views about what’s going on downtown…

What is the latest regarding DPI's organizational capacity? 

Mark Your Calendar. Two important meetings are set for early December. The Downtown Phoenix, Inc. (DPI) board of directors will hold its first annual meeting on Thursday, December 5 at the Phoenix Convention Center. Four days later, on Monday, December 9, the Downtown Phoenix Partnership (DPP) board of directors will meet at [location]. Both boards will focus on finalizing and approving a consolidated program of work for DPI and its partner organizations for 2014.

DPP Leadership Additions. At its last board meeting, Downtown Phoenix Partnership elected nine new directors. This is part of a joint DPP/DPI effort to include more people in our DPP leadership who are responsible for making downtown an energized part of our community on a day-to-day basis. This will allow the DPI investors to work with the Mayor, City Manager, and our community representatives on major policy issues and new programs. Click here for the list of our new DPP leadership.

Convention Season. DPI is entering into a strategic partnership with the Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) to help tell our story to out of town visitors. The CVB handles bookings for the Phoenix Convention Center and they have traditionally focused on the attributes of our meeting venues. Working together we feel we can enhance our positioning in this competitive market by placing more emphasis on the diversity of our downtown amenity package: great music, great food, and an enhanced art scene. Conventioneers familiar with our old downtown are going to hear more about Roosevelt Row, Grand Avenue, CityScape, Crescent Ballroom, etc. through this new partnership. We are very excited to be working more closely with Steve Moore and his team at the CVB.

 

What are some recent examples of downtown's economic and cultural vitality?

The Arizona Republic has published its “Best 2013 Winners.” It was heartening to read about the numerous award recipients located in and around downtown, including Best Place to Find Food Trucks (Phoenix Public Market), Best Live Music Venue (Crescent Ballroom), Best Kept Restaurant Secret (Bonjour Vietnam), Best Local Effort at Raising the Profile of Jazz (The Nash), Best New Food Event (Feast on the Street), Best Reinvented Music Festival (McDowell Mountain Music Festival), Best Public Art (Her Secret is Patience), and Best Pizza (Pizzeria Bianco).

Ride Happy. Ride the Grid. On October 28, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton unveiled the name and logo for the region’s new bike sharing program before attendees at the National Association of City Transportation Officials at the Hotel Palomar. Called Grid, the system will employ a fleet of fluorescent green bicycles that are rentable by the hour or through annual memberships. “Grid is going to be a fun, healthy, and affordable way to extend the reach of our transit system for residents, commuters, and visitors,” said the mayor, noting that approximately 50 other U.S. metro areas will have similar programs in place by next year. “If our region is going to compete globally, we need Grid to help attract those high-wage employers and bright, educated young workers who want livable cities and multiple transit options.” For more information, visit the Grid website.

Making Bicycling Safer, More Convenient, More Comfortable.The City of Phoenix is developing a comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Master Plan to make bicycling safer, more convenient, and more comfortable so more people have the opportunity to ride a bike for transportation or recreational purposes. Interested individuals can provide their feedback through a Wikimap feature to pinpoint cycling routes they use, areas where they would like to see new routes added, and barriers to traveling via bicycling.

  How can Phoenix citizens give their input on downtown happenings?

Seeking Your Input on Downtown Transportation Study. The City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is seeking input from residents, commuters, and business owners for a study about how they travel in and around downtown Phoenix on a regular basis and during special events. Individuals interested in participating in the study can attend one of two public open houses at the Arizona Commerce Authority first floor reception room at 333 N. Central Ave. from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12 or from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 14. At the meetings, city staff and consultants will be available to answer questions and solicit comments on the study and ways to improve roads, transit service, and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists. Using feedback from these meetings, the city and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) will suggest a variety of changes in downtown traffic management that could include street closures, modification of street lanes, additional pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and technological enhancement to signals and other traffic control devices for large events such as baseball games and the upcoming Super Bowl.

Enhancing Hance. The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and Hance Park Master Plan Design Team invite you to their Community Meeting #2 on Wednesday, November 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Cutler Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center, 122 East Culver St. From the input gathered at the September workshops and on Facebook, the Design Team has been developing a plan that incorporates many of the thoughts and ideas generated. This meeting will be the first opportunity to preview the proposed design. If you are interested in attending, RSVP to Dianne Figueroa at dianne.figueroa@phoenix.gov by November 14.

What types of events are happening downtown this season?

Those Record Breaking Zombies. On October 26, 20,000 people attended Zombie Walk 5 at Heritage and Science Park, including 12,000 zombies who walked (er, shuffled) the 1.2-mile route through the heart of downtown Phoenix. The daylong festival was free to the public and extremely family friendly, evidenced by over 1,000 Little Zombie Zone attendees. Just how successful was Zombie Walk 5? Well, the current Guinness-recognized record for largest zombie walk was set in Asbury Park, N.J., on October 5. That walk had 9,592 zombies.

The Delightful DeSoto. On November 3, eyes blinked and jaws dropped at the sight of the renovated 1928 C. P. Stephens DeSoto-Plymouth Building at the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Roosevelt. Developers Ken Cook and Paige Knight, architect Bob Graham, and Preserve Phoenix executive director Jennifer Boucek organized the First Friday preview, including vintage Phoenix photographs projected on the building’s interior and architectural details highlighted with special lighting just for this event. The DeSoto Building is available for lease to transit-oriented users of up to 11,000 square feet. For more information, visit the DeSoto Building website.

Dateline Phoenix: November 9, 2013. The number and myriad of events happening in and around downtown this fall is, let’s just admit it, mind-boggling. A full calendar is available here, but let me point out a few coming up this weekend:

• The 9th Annual Certified Local Fall Festival takes place at 10 W. Portland St. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The festival is a family friendly street fair with 100 vendors featuring locally owned businesses, tons of activities for kids including a craft booth, Diamondbacks batting cage, seed planting, bounce house, and more. Festival details here.
• Roosevelt TourFest, a self-guided walking tour of vintage homes in the Roosevelt Historic District, will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A circulating shuttle will be available for those who need to rest their feet a bit. TourFest details here.
• “A Day in the Park” (Margaret T. Hance Park to be specific) is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. Started by a volunteer band of neighborhood residents, this free, informal activity, held from Noon to 5 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, encourages residents to bring food, Frisbees, board games, guitars, kites, etc. for a fun afternoon in one of Phoenix’s major municipal parks. “A Day in the Park” details here.
• Art enthusiasts are encouraged to be a part of the Phoenix's only come-as-you-wish-you-were, everyone welcomed, all-ages, pedestrian powered parade: the 8th Annual Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts (PAPA), 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. starting at the A.R.T.S. Market, 408 E. Roosevelt St. This year’s theme – “Weird, Wild West” – is sure to bring out the creativity in everyone from Steam Punks to Jackalopes to Buffalo Soldiers. PAPA details here.

 

What are the current development projects happening downtown?

As our nation, state, and local communities continue to recover from the Great Recession, an indicator of positive movement is building construction. Sometimes building is met with strong and broad support from all sectors – business, government, and community; sometimes it is not. The following three proposals fall into the latter category, and DPI and its partner organizations are monitoring and assisting in consensus building for the best possible community outcomes for these projects:

• Circle K expansion. Circle K has proposed building a larger store and more gas pumps at the gateway to our downtown at Seventh Street and Roosevelt. Nine neighborhood, community, and business groups – including Downtown Phoenix, Inc., Downtown Phoenix Partnership, and Phoenix Community Alliance – oppose Circle K’s current plan for a variety of reasons, including concerns over crime, vagrancy, traffic, and suburban “cookie cutter” design for an urban setting. (You can read the joint letter here.) Councilman Michael Johnson has been actively engaged in addressing these concerns, but the community has not received a formal response back from Circle K. Some action on the use permit and liquor license could occur by the end of the month.
• Second Street & Roosevelt RFP. Last month, through the City’s RFP (request for proposal) process, Roosevelt Housing Associates received the unanimous support of a seven-member committee, comprised of city staff and community members, and a City staff positive recommendation for 56 affordable senior/age-restricted apartments (3 and 5-story buildings) as well as a craft brewery to be located in the historic Knipe House on 1.5 acres of city-owned property near the intersection of Second Street and Roosevelt. The housing concept is based on two existing projects called Encore on Farmer in Tempe and Encore on First in Mesa. The latter just received the “Most Outstanding Project” award from LISC Phoenix (Local Initiatives Service Corp.). Three other developers that had made proposals for the site were unhappy with the result and raised their concerns. City staff pulled the agenda item from the City Council subcommittee’s November agenda to address the concerns with groups representing neighborhood and community interests. (You can read the Arizona Republic editorial here and architect Will Bruder's response here.) This is one where some collaboration among the various development interests would benefit downtown.
• Central Station RFP. A request for proposal (RFP) was approved by the Phoenix City Council for ideas to develop the current site of Central Station at Central and Van Buren. The goal is to develop an iconic, multi-story, mixed-use building without impacting transportation opportunities for the community. While there is general consensus that the parcel is underutilized as downtown strives to achieve greater density (more height, more uses, more people), it is important to attract a quality development that is compatible with our public transportation goals.

• Adams Street Activation Study. After 30 stakeholder meetings and four public charrettes at the Phoenix Convention Center this past spring and summer, the City and Gensler Architects developed preliminary recommendations for the Adams Street Activation Study area for Adams between Central and Third Street. Eight overarching recommendations in the areas of Streetscape, Art, Event Infrastructure, Hyatt Edge, Regency Garage Edge, Renaissance Edge, Adams Street Lot, and Special Events Entity were presented to and endorsed by the City’s Downtown, Aviation, and Redevelopment Subcommittee. (You can read a comprehensive review of this project here.) The next steps are to present to the City’s Parks & Arts Subcommittee and City Council.
• Project Rising. A non-profit organization, Project Rising, has been formed to partner with Phoenix property owners to fill in vacant spaces in our neighborhoods with complementary places to live, work, and play. The organization’s board of directors, investor stakeholder group, and advisory committee are comprised of solid business and civic leaders, many of whom are associated with or “friends of” Downtown Phoenix, Inc. and its partner organizations. Three downtown sites have been selected for the first Project Rising cohort. Through its Accelerator Program, Project Rising is seeking ideas to turn these vacant spaces into bankable projects: (1) Luhrs City Center Arcade, Jefferson St. between First Ave. and Central, owned by Hansji Urban; (2) Adams Street Lot, southeast corner of Adams and Central, owned by the City of Phoenix; and (3) Regency Garage Edge (aka The Matador), southeast corner of Adams and First St., owned by the City of Phoenix. The deadline for the Call for Ideas for these projects is December 6, 2013. To submit ideas, visit http://bit.ly/CallForIdeas2013. We are very excited about the level of community engagement and professionalism Project Rising has brought to the table.

Lewis[/caption] The Fellowship for the Performing Arts tackles the intriguing theological debate in a world-premiere production of The Great Divorce, continuing through December 22 at the Herberger Theater Center. Written by Irish novelist and theologian Clive Staples Lewis and adapted for the stage by Max McLean and Brian Watkins, The Great Divorce explores the challenges of entering Heaven. The play’s characters include a busload of argumentative ghosts -- one of whom is burdened by lust -- and the angels and heavenly spirits they meet on an excursion out of Hell. Lewis chose the title to contrast with William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, beginning with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis also wrote a breathtaking Space Trilogy as well as classics of Christian theology including The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity. He was born in 1898 and recently honored on the 50^th anniversary of his death (November 22) with a memorial in Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey in addition to a conference and events at Oxford and Cambridge, where he taught literature. Thanks to the influence of his friend J.R.R. Tolkien (author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings), Lewis returned to the Christian faith as an adult, exploring his beliefs through writing and radio broadcasts. “Lewis is kind of a mentor theologically,” says Max McLean, artistic director of the Fellowship for the Performing Arts. “He realized…that most people have this vague understanding that this world has some meaning.” McLean laughs. “I’m pretty sure it doesn’t end here. I don’t think that our minds are chance arrangements of atoms in skulls.” “So there has to be some meaning,” he continues, “and the mind is the conduit to the supernatural world. …That’s where Lewis starts, and he says, ‘Where does all this come together?’” [caption id="attachment_37793" align="alignleft" width="219"] Joel Rainwater in "The Great Divorce" (photo credit: Gerry Goodstein)[/caption] The Great Divorce follows the Fellowship’s audiobooks of Christian texts and previous adaptations of the Biblical books of Genesis and Mark, as well as a still-touring 2006 production of Lewis’s Screwtape Letters. McLean founded the Fellowship to “produce theater from a Christian world view to engage a diverse audience,” he explains. These adaptations bring Lewis to those who might otherwise not find his works, because “you really have to have your ‘A’ game to read Lewis,” says McLean with a chuckle. In the ironic Screwtape Letters, a senior demon instructs his protégé on techniques to bring souls to “Our Father Below” (Satan), saving them from “the Enemy” (God). “The Great Divorce is essentially the other side…the antithesis to the Screwtape story,” McLean explains. “They’re both theological fantasies… In Screwtape, he’s looking at how we are influenced to follow our own...natural instincts and in a certain sense ignore our conscience.” He continues, “In The Great Divorce it’s about spirits that are exhorting us to follow our consciences, and how we respond to that in a…not-so-pleasant way because we…want to do what we want.” “Our challenge is to take something very provocative, very profound, and find a way of translating that to a theatrical audience.”   If you go:

Modeled after Classical Revolution chapters in other major cities around the world, CRPHX is a grass-roots organization working to offer appealing classical music in unusual, accessible venues. The group presents the annual Classical Revolution Phoestival at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral along with a series of performances around the Valley running from autumn through spring. [caption id="attachment_38868" align="alignright" width="141"] Classical Revolution PHX co-founder Joseph Kluesener[/caption] On “a day when alternatives for singles are increasingly gaining attention,” says bassoonist and CRPHX co-founder Joseph Kluesener, why not create a program of repertoire from composers affected by venereal disease? According to Grove Music Online, syphilis was so common in 19^th-century Europe that it may have infected nearly 20% of some urban populations. Franz Schubert, Bedřich Smetana, Gaetano Donizetti, Robert Schumann, and Hugo Wolf were only a handful of the famously afflicted. So when Kluesener realized that violinist Cathy Worcester’s string ensemble was performing Schubert’s C-major quintet in Fountain Hills, he asked her if they’d be willing to play it again for Valentine’s Day. “He had this radar for Schubert because of the syphilis hook,” says Worcester with a laugh. “And how many times in your life are you going to get to say that you played at Syphilis Night?” While she wears many hats -- teacher, West Valley Symphony concertmaster and personnel manager, and Symphony of the Southwest Executive Director -- Worcester also finds the time to perform with the Fountain Hills Chamber Players. [caption id="attachment_38865" align="alignleft" width="180"] Violinist Cathy Worcester[/caption] “Chamber music is just such a nice departure from symphony music,” says Worcester. “It’s…a lovely collaboration of sound and everyone’s important, and it’s very gratifying music to play. Symphony music’s exciting…but it’s much more taxing physically.” She continues, “Right now I’m probably getting the most pleasure from playing things like this Schubert quintet, because it’s such a masterful piece of writing.” Tonight’s ensemble includes violinist Richard Chelpka, violist Patricia Cosand, and cellists Ruth Wenger and Melissa Baum. Schubert was frequently debilitated by the disease during the six years prior to his death at the age of 31. The composer left behind rich music of enduring beauty, including hundreds of songs and dozens of chamber and orchestral works like the quintet. “It’s a gorgeous thing,” says Worcester. “The middle part [of the scherzo movement] is very slow, with a million flats...[it's] minor and dark…and then the rest of it romps. We’ll have fun with it.” [caption id="attachment_38864" align="alignright" width="125"] Pianist Jennifer Bindel[/caption] Other performers for Syphilis Night include the ASU Grad Quintet playing music by Mozart for winds and piano, and pianist Jennifer Bindel offering songs with soprano Ryanne Hammerl and tenor Ethan DePuy. “Joey [Kluesener] specifically asked us if we might be able to program some Robert Schumann or Clara Schumann because Robert and Clara were married and it’s a romantic story that we could share,” says Bindel. “And Robert Schumann died of syphilis.” “And then Ethan and Ryanne are actually a couple in real life also, and I think they’ll be sharing some part of that romantic story in the concert too,” Bindel adds. The singers have chosen works from Robert Schumann’s tenor cycle Dichterliebe (The poet’s love) and the soprano cycle Frauenliebe und -leben (Woman’s love and life), with the goal of describing a relationship from the perspective of both the man and the woman. With seven songs, says Bindel, “The male singer tells the story from beginning to end and the female from end to beginning, and they meet in the middle for a duet.”

GREENING OF SUPER BOWL XLIX BEGINS WITH LOCAL SCHOOL TREE PLANTING [caption id="attachment_40018" align="alignright" width="288"] The ceremony will be taking place at Kenilworth Elementary School. Photo by Jack London.[/caption] The National Football League began addressing the environmental impact of Super Bowl in 1993 with a pilot program in stadium solid waste recycling in preparation for Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta. Since then, environmental efforts have evolved and expanded to become a comprehensive program of community projects aimed at mitigating environmental impact and leaving a positive “green” legacy in each host community. The NFL, in partnership with the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee and a number of local government and nonprofit organizations, will be working over the next year to develop a variety of projects as part of the overall “greening” of Super Bowl. These projects address such areas as solid waste, food recovery, material repurposing, book and sports equipment donation, and overall climate impact. WHEN: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. There will be a brief speaking program with a tree planting immediately following. WHAT: Ceremonial tree planting to kick off environmental initiatives for Super Bowl. The greening of Super Bowl XLIX officially begins with a ceremonial tree planting at a local elementary school and the handing over, from New York/New Jersey of the “golden shovel” representing the environmental stewardship of the NFL and the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. As part of this annual tradition, the previous Super Bowl host community (NY/NJ) donates one tree to the next host community (Arizona) to help them get the “greening” underway. This year, Lacebark Elm trees will be planted in New Jersey on April 11 and in Arizona on April 15. Support for urban forestry projects is one part of a comprehensive environmental program each year that addresses the impact of Super Bowl events and activities.

The proposed changes could include the extension of meter hours on weekdays, the addition of meter enforcement on weekends, and changes to parking meter rates to accommodate dynamic pricing during different times of day, and in different parking area zones.  Dynamic pricing rates could range from as little as 50 cents an hour in less busy areas to $6 an hour during large downtown events.  The proposed changes could generate an additional $1 to $2 million annually for the city’s General Fund and increase parking turnover in busy downtown and central Phoenix areas. To gather feedback, the Street Transportation Department is holding two open houses on Wednesday, May 28, at the times and locations below: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Arizona Commerce Authority, First Floor Reception Room, 333 N. Central Ave. 2 - 4 p.m., Downtown Phoenix Ambassador's Office, First Floor, 101 N. First Ave. At the meetings staff will be available to answer questions and solicit comments on the changes. More information on the proposed parking meter changes is available at the Street Transportation Department website, phoenix.gov/streets/.  ]]> 40718 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=40723 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=40723 DPJ’s Wire series delivers news and information straight from the source without translation.

At First Friday on Friday, June 6, the public is invited to experience an evening of festive music, entertainment and storytelling featuring Phoenix authors, historians and artists at Burton Barr Central Library and the musical group Us Gaias.

Storytelling will be hosted on the second floor of the library, along with the Phoenix Phabulous History Mural. Storytelling will begin at 6:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m.

Speakers include Phoenix authors and historians Donna Reiner, Ph.D., who will discuss the history of surviving summers in Phoenix (Summers Weren’t for Sissies), and Frank Barrios, who will discuss the 1888 through 1911 time period as well as his book, Mexicans in Phoenix.  Local artist Aileen Frick will discuss her latest “We Are Phoenix” collection of paintings featuring iconic locations in Downtown Phoenix.

The Phoenix Phabulous History Mural features nine time periods of Phoenix, each artistically represented in a collection of indoor murals. The project was produced by Phoenix Phabulous Experience™ and curated by Phoenix artist Hugo Medina., in collaboration with Phoenix Center for the Arts.

The Phoenix Phabulous History Mural provides presentation and dialogue opportunities for visitors, residents, and students to discuss the past, present and imagined future of Phoenix. During its traveling schedule at public places, scholars, artists, authors, and storytellers of all ages and backgrounds will share presentations about time periods, special topics of interest, and stories that bring together the diverse cultures and communities of Phoenix.

During the June 6 First Friday at Burton Barr Central Library, the musical group Us Gaias will inspire and entertain the audience with an enchanting blend of African, Latin, Native American, chant and pop-driven influences.  Formed in 2007, Us Gaias (from Greek gaia earth) is a performing ensemble incubated by Phoenix Women’s Chorus that combines lush vocals with percussion soundscapes.

On the 30^th Anniversary Year of its Theatrical Release,

“one of the greatest rock movies ever made." Leonard Martin

Stop Making Sense: The Talking Heads

Date: Sunday June 22^nd 1:30 (doors 1pm with no-host cash bar)

Lauded as the "greatest concert movie ever…" by Rolling Stone, this euphoric film transcends the all-too-limited genre to become one of the best and most memorable films of its kind. Over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983, filmmaker Jonathan Demme joined creative forces with cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth and Talking Heads…and miracles occurred.

Following a staging concept by singer-guitarist David Byrne, Stop Making Sense is a celebration of music that never grows old, fueled by the polyrhythmic pop-funk precision that was a Talking Heads trademark, and lit from within by the geeky supernova that is David Byrne.

Notes from NFR

Off the theatrical market for the past two years, Palm Pictures chose to bring back the film for its 30^th Anniversary.

Ever since NFR screened this film at SMoCA in July 2012, it’s been on the extremely short list of films we’d want to screen again. No Festival Required specifically chose the 230 seat Phoenix Center for the Arts as the best venue downtown for a Sunday summer film such as Stop Making Sense.

Beer, wine and snacks available for sale before the show.

Spontaneous singing and dancing is encouraged.

15^th Anniversary Trailer-http://tinyurl.com/stopmakingsense-trailer

Why stop making sense? Why a movie? Why a big suit? Where do the odd movements come from? What will the band do next?

"A rock concert film that looks and sounds like no other" - Janet Maslin, New York Times

"A dose of happiness from beginning to end. Stop Making Sense is close to perfection." - Pauline Kael, New Yorker Magazine

"The Talking Heads put on a tremendous show -- erudite, funny, funky...'Stop Making Sense' is a dynamic rock film, as suited to its place in history, musically and visually, as 'Woodstock' was to the 60's." - Rita Kempley, Washington Post

"One of the most exciting concert films ever."- David Ansen, Newsweek

Artlink is currently working with funding from a Reinvent Phoenix grant on three major initiatives to add multi-layered elements that will connect light rail users to a specific sense of place at various stations: school mural projects at key locations; wayfinding banners for three different light rail stations; and online, neighborhood-specific content that will be smart phone accessible. The mural projects are school-based and feature a local artist working with administrators, teachers, students and other local stakeholders to develop and paint large-scale outdoor murals that express the vision of that community. The artist helps design each project in partnership with the community members, and the students are the painters. Four to five different schools close to the light rail will participate in this program. One project at Crockett School was completed in the spring, while the remaining schools will be completed this fall. Additionally, unique wayfinding banners are being planned for three light rail stations: McDowell & Central, Roosevelt & Central, and 12^th Street & Jefferson. 28 local artists submitted portfolios for this program, and three were chosen: Lucretia Torva (MacDowell & Central Station); Jeff Jones (Roosevelt & Central Station); Robert Jackson (12th Street & Jefferson). A team of local stakeholders from each of the surrounding neighborhoods chose an artist to create an original piece of work that will embody the spirit and vision of that neighborhood. The pieces will then be digitally reproduced as 94″H X 106″W mesh banners affixed to the station platforms. In conjunction with these banners, posters with the distinctive images will be produced and distributed to all of the businesses and cultural destinations surrounding each station. In that way, the images will provide a visual link to draw people from the station to the neighhorhood. "The banners and the posters will work together to provide visual 'bread crumbs' for visitors," said Catrina Kahler, Artlink Board President. "The large banners on the light rail platforms will resonate with the posters in the shop windows and contribute to a real sense of place." Additionally, for approximately 10-12 stations between 19^th Ave & Bethany Home and 12^th St & Jefferson, Artlink is working in partnership with Valley Metro on a cultural connections project that knits together destination maps on the station platforms, the Valley Metro Arts & Culture Destinations Guide, and a series of neighborhood specific web pages that visitors will be able to access online and from their smart phones. Visitors will be able to connect with these pages as they travel down the light rail line and dig deeper into the history and character of each neighborhood. These pages are expected to launch by the end of the year. With these projects, visual art will help to further define our urban neighborhoods and to create the memorable details that bring our city to life.  As Phoenix continues to build a walkable urban core, linking light rail stations to the unique characteristics of surrounding neighborhoods will encourage everyone to step down off the platform and discover what makes downtown special. We'll keep you in the know as each of these projects come to fruition.]]> 41557 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=42035 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=42035 Native American Composer Apprentice Project (NACAP) comes to the Heard Museum this evening.

Official Groundbreaking Ceremony Set For New ASU Law School in Downtown Phoenix The official groundbreaking for Arizona State University’s new $129 million law school building in Downtown Phoenix, the Arizona Center for Law and Society, is set for Nov. 13. The ceremony will take place at the northwest corner of Taylor and First streets starting at 8 a.m. Attending the ceremony will be ASU President Michael M. Crow, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Dean Doug Sylvester. Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and Phoenix Councilman Michael Nowakowski also are expected to attend. “The Arizona Center for Law and Society is another wonderful addition to our growing campus in the heart of Phoenix,” Crow said. “Having the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in Downtown Phoenix fits perfectly with ASU’s mission of building strong learning and career connections with media, health care, corporate and government organizations for the more than 11,500 students in the downtown campus.” Construction on the Arizona Center for Law and Society began in July. The new building will be ready for classes by August 2016. The College of Law currently occupies its home of almost 50 years, Armstrong Hall, on the Tempe campus. ASU and the College of Law are committed to ensuring that the Armstrong name will be honored in the new law school. The Arizona Center for Law and Society is being funded by the city of Phoenix — which is providing land and $12 million — construction bonds through Arizona State University and private donations. ASU Law has set a capital campaign goal of $50 million for contruction of the building. The College has raised more than $34 million so far. “This could not have been possible without the generosity of our alumni and connected legal communities,” Sylvester said. “We are particularly honored that long-time Phoenix attorney Leo Beus and his wife, Annette, recently made a $10 million contribution to the building’s capital campaign. ” The building is planned to be approximately 280,000 gross square feet with two levels of underground parking. It will have 18 rooms in which classes will be regularly scheduled, including one large lecture hall dedicated to university undergraduate education. Features of the new law school include a high-tech courtroom and an active learning classroom. “Not only will the new law school have state-of-the-art learning facilities, it also will provide our students with incredible opportunities,” Sylvester said. “The downtown location is near the courts and the city’s legal district, which will prove invaluable to our students in the form of internships, externships and networking.” The Ross-Blakley Law Library, currently located in a separate building near the law school in Tempe, will be moved to the new building. The library will occupy multiple floors and create the main circulatory structure of the center. The first floor of the building will have retail space consisting of a school bookstore and a café. The Arizona Center for Law and Society also will include space for two think tanks, multiple centers with cross-disciplinary focus and the new ASU Alumni Law Group, the first teaching law firm associated with a law school. The lead architects on the project are Ennead Architects and Jones Studios, with DPR Construction as the lead builder.]]> 43365 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/03/27/juan-williams-asu-downtown/ Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:00:32 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=406 Next Friday is a big day for ASU's Downtown Phoenix Campus.

We are excited to host Juan Williams (of NPR fame) at the innagural Community Advocacy Symposium. Through "Vision Mapping" (solutions through art) and focused breakout sessions, students, faculty, and community members will begin a dialog concerning pertinant civil rights issues.

This event is open to the public, and I highly encourage you to attend. In fact, I will be co-leading the breakout session on Economic Justice. There are more sessions, just in case that one doesn't sound interesting. I have a full listing of those sessions, and even more information at my blog here.

After the Community Advocacy Symposium, ASU will join Downtown Phoenix in celebrating First Fridays. The entire University Center Building will be open to the public, full of live music and art created by local nonprofit organizations. Can't wait to see you all next Friday!

Shovels are in the ground and celebration is in the air as Arizona State University’s new $129 million law school building officially gets under way. History will mark Nov. 13, 2014 as the groundbreaking ceremony for the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and the Arizona Center for Law and Society on the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus. ASU and civic leaders promise much more history is to come. “What you’re seeing here today is the launching of America’s great model for a new law school of the future,” said ASU President Michael Crow to a crowd of approximately 200 people attending the ceremony. “The older models of university engagement have run their course. This is the new way and we’re forging the new way. We’ve planted our flag here and we’re only going to advance.” The morning ceremony took place at the northwest corner of Taylor and First streets. In addition to Crow, dignitaries included retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, members of the Phoenix City Council, former Arizona Supreme Court members and several law school donors, including Phoenix attorney Leo Beus and his wife, Annette, who recently made a $10 million contribution to the building’s capital campaign, and members of the W. P. Carey Foundation, which graciously funded the Armstrong Great Hall in the new building. Stanton said the law school, which was 10 years in the making, is poised for history and will produce great legal minds of the future. “Leaders will be coming out of this building, including some of the top lawyers, future Supreme and State Court justices. People who will choose public service as their career and avocation. Leaders of the profit and non-profit world, and maybe even a few political leaders. The future leaders of this city and state will be coming out of this building. This is a great day for Phoenix,” Stanton said. Justice O’Connor, who closed the ceremony, said today was a most memorable one for her. “In just half a century the law school has established itself as one of the great preeminent institutions in the United States, and it’s only moving forward, not backwards,” O’Connor said. “I am so proud that this building is going to bear my name. It’s one of the great honors of my life.” Construction on the Arizona Center for Law and Society began in July. The project is being funded by the City of Phoenix, which is providing land and $12 million, construction bonds through ASU and private donations. The law school has set a fundraising goal of $50 million for construction of the building, and has raised more than $30 million so far. Doug Sylvester, dean of the Sandra Day O’Conner College of Law, said the university was strategic about the building’s location, which will bring about 1,000 new students to the downtown Phoenix location when it opens in August 2016. “The downtown location is near the courts and the city’s legal district, which will prove invaluable to our students in the form of internships, externships and mentoring,” Sylvester said. The new building is planned to be approximately 280,000 gross square feet, with two levels of underground parking. It will have 18 rooms in which classes will be regularly scheduled, including one large lecture hall dedicated to university undergraduate education. Features of the laws school include a hi-tech courtroom and an active learning classroom.

Together we will explore the buildings and structures of our city, look closer at what makes them special, and perhaps challenge those who want to contribute to our built environment to approach downtown development in a more thoughtful way. Everyone agrees that a walkable, vibrant downtown with memorable places to live, work, and play would be a good thing. There seems to be much less of a consensus on what that means—in physical terms—and how you get there. We have been trying for decades, at least since the 1970s, to revive downtown Phoenix following the suburban flight that occurred after World War II. I recall in the early ‘80s tracking all of the exciting new developments downtown, and how, collectively, they were going to do the trick. Anybody remember the French Quarter? The Mercado? The Mile-High Tower? These, and many others, were examples of a top-down approach to what we now call “placemaking,” the attempt to create buildings, spaces, or streetscapes that people would love because of their unique appeal, comfortable ambiance, and vibrancy. All of our failed attempts at placemaking have common elements. First of all, they tend to be ideas hatched by a single person or small group, grasping for a unifying concept that looks, on its surface, likable. Not recognizing the positive aspects of their place, they attempt to evoke a different place; something else, or somewhere else that is already loved. Who doesn’t like the excitement and street life of New Orleans, or of a Mexican market like that in Nogales, or the prestige of having the tallest building in the world? Build it and they will come, they say, because it will be so cool that it will sell itself. These developments tend to have a grand scale in an attempt to create their own context. Civic Plaza, the basketball arena, and the baseball stadium each were supposed to “fix” downtown in one bold stroke. Arizona Center went to the grand scale as well, but more successfully. The appeal of a mega-development is understandable from an economic perspective – you can get a whole lot done in a short period of time, and stretch your funding as far as you can. The problem with grand-scale projects is that they tend to become monotonous and uninteresting, particularly after a few years when the novelty wears off, and lack the fine-grained texture that great places have. None of the failed attempts at placemaking had broad community support, and that was their downfall. Of course, in the early years of rebuilding downtown, there was little community there to provide support. So instead, the developments were geared toward an imaginary “customer,” a.k.a. future downtown resident or patron. Unfortunately, most failed because they did not attract the forecast customers. Today, we are fortunate to have developed a larger constituency for downtown, people who already live here, already work here, and who are strong advocates for their downtown. And those people are the key to finally remaking a successful center city. Successful placemaking requires building community consensus: ground-up, not top-down. The top-down approach is much easier, but the results speak for themselves. Ground-up means you have to ask people what they want – and to get a meaningful response, you have to actually engage in a dialogue, because most people really have not thought that much about what they want their city to look like. That’s hard, and that’s why you so seldom see it done. I look to the new Hance Park planning effort as an example of how community consensus building can work. They got the community involved, they asked the right questions, and from that data created a plan that contained the elements that people want – and likely will use. Time will tell, but I expect that the next generation Hance Park will not appear on a failed-developments list. Placemaking also requires cooperation. When individual property owners look only within their own boundaries, and propose developments without integrating into their context, opportunities can be wasted and good places can be destroyed. As we enter the next boom cycle of building downtown, developers have been proposing projects without public input – living within their existing land rights, not because they are being good neighbors, but because it’s easier, and more definite, than engaging with the community. Gauging from the groundswell of resistance, these developments don’t appear to be making the kind of places that the community wants. We have the opportunity to create a community vision that can serve as the measuring stick for new developments. We can ask that projects respect their historic, geographic, and social context into which they are built. It’s hard–but the results would be worth it.]]> 46113 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/03/31/arts-are-something-my-wife-makes-me-enjoy/ Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:18:00 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=492 asulectures@asu.edu or 602 496 1000]]> 492 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/03/31/jobing-com-career-expo/ Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:19:19 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=494 April 2.

Katie Harroff, an MFA student at ASU, stars as Terry Logan. Pictured , from left to right are Tracy Payne as Eva, Harroff as Terry, and Kim Jeffries as Pepper. Here is a brief synopsis from the Stray Cat website:

"Pulp is a deliciously hot, sexy homage to the sultry world of 1950's hard-edged lesbian pulp fiction. When WAC pilot and WWII vet Terry Logan high-tails it out of the service after a little some-some with the general's daughter, she heads for Chicago and "The Well", a club for women where the air is filled with steamy torch songs, the spirit of Barbara Stanwyck hovers over the bar, and forbidden lust lurks behind every innuendo. Stray Cat proudly closes their season with what promises to be the panty-droppin'est good time of the season. There’s a lotta juice there... Don’t leave a mess!"

Stray Cat houses its productions at Exit Theater, on Mcdowell and 7th Avenue. Shows run Thursdays though Saturdays at 8PM, and Sundays at 2PM until April 19th. For more information, directions, and tickets, visit their website.

The annual report, called 2020 Vision, was released Wednesday by Colliers at its meeting at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa. The most immediate growth is expected in and around downtown Phoenix's bioscience community and along the 20-mile light rail system from northwest Phoenix through downtown to Tempe and Mesa, said Colliers Managing Director Mike Fitz-Gerald. In downtown Phoenix, where more than $3 billion in public and private redevelopment projects are under way, officials are awaiting a final decision from Florida pharmaceutical executives interested in opening a regional office in downtown Phoenix. It would open with 20 employees and expand to as many as 300. Fitz-Gerald and Colliers Associate Kevin Lange declined to identify the Florida company. They are anticipating an official announcement from the company soon. The 2020 Vision report offers insight into 32 categories of commercial and industrial real estate. Besides the light rail corridor, Fitz-Gerald said parts of the Phoenix area expected to undergo more growth soon include the southwest and southeast regions and downtown Mesa. Despite slowing market conditions, growth for downtown Mesa is projected in back-office, industrial and education. "By 2010, a new downtown campus for Mesa Community College, in conjunction with NAU and Mesa Public Schools, will be well under way on 4 acres at the southeast corner of University and Mesa drives," the report says. It adds that the new growth will increase demand for more residential and mixed-use projects on an adjoining 20-acre site.]]> 520 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/03/coronado-historic-district-gets-new-restaurant/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:41:18 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=522 This glowing report, just in from our good friend Sherry Rampy. Hey All! Just figured you might like another reason not to cook! LA PICCOLA CUCINA...Andy and Debbie Pappas' "Little Kitchen" is exquisite. It's located at 2241 North 7th Street, with bright red umbrellas outside a beautifully renovated building that started life as a bungalow nearly a century ago. Wonderful mosaic tile and wood inside with comfortable seating. You order at the counter where you can see your yummy choices...they have sandwiches, prepared foods, pastries, and coffee...and an AMAZING assortment of Gelato. Now, I didn't think that I was a gelato fan...stems from a Canadian dairy farm background...it's just not ice cream. OMG!!! The chocolate gelato was INCREDIBLE, as was the chocolate mouse dessert (yes, I'm am hiking daily this week). But, it's not just the wonderful desserts...the blood orange and banana foster's gelato were also pretty incredible. But the food you don't have to feel guilty about is great, too! You get a choice of a "top shelf" like herbed chicken, stuffed pork loin, meatloaf, etc. and two choices of sides like ratatouille, grilled asparagus, pickled beets, herbed potatoes, string beans or a variety of salads for just under ten bucks...yup, better than you could make for yourself for under ten bucks! So...if you can, support another local Mom and Pop shop...owners Andy and Debbie were absolutely delightful to chat with and the food...again, is exquisite. My personal recommendation would be: stuffed pork, ratatouille, and grilled asparagus. If you could only choose one dessert (although I strongly recommend going with friends and sharing), it would have to be a chocolate gelato. They are open every day 'til 8pm. Hope to run into some of you there.]]> 522 0 0 0 21 http://www.realarizonareviews.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/03/attention-dog-owners/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:43:13 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=524 Their website]]> 524 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/04/you-know-you-have/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:44:20 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=526 526 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/04/tax-time/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:45:47 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=528 528 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/04/thanks-turning-out-earth-hour/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 20:47:22 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=530 530 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/05/migratory-bird-festival-phoenix/ Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:48:35 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=532 by Ed Masley - Apr. 1, 2008 12:00 AM The Arizona Republic It wasn't long ago that the site of the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area was widely considered what acting habitat supervisor Heather Watson calls an "eyesore." Now, she says, that land is "an oasis in the middle of the city," practically 600 acres located a mile and a half from downtown Phoenix, along the Salt River. It's a place where cottonwoods, willows and plentiful water have managed to draw more than 250 species of birds to what was once a dried-up river bed strewn with debris that people had taken to calling the Bottoms. "If you build it, they will come," Watson said, with a laugh. "What we've done, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is we've actually restored or created - in some cases both - a Riparian ecosystem along the Salt River. So along a 5-mile stretch, we've created a wetland and river system that has been extremely conducive to attracting birds." The water helps. A lot. "We do get additional water in the Salt River now," Watson said, "because of releases from upstream. All the reservoirs are full upstream so they're having to release water, which is nice." Watson said the habitat's reservoirs and wetlands also are fed from the shallow aquifer, which is non-potable non-drinking water. These sources combine to yield the lush vegetation that shelters birds and is "encouraging them to not only stop by when they're in town but also have breeding activity as well." And what's good for the birds is good for Phoenix. "This wonderful ecosystem is also a great resource for the community," Watson said. "If it's not for bird watching, it's for relaxing, walking, bike riding. We get a lot of local visitors that use it with their families, just come out and relax or exercise to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city." There may be a little more hustle and bustle than usual there on April 12, though, when the Restoration Area, which opened to the public in 2005, hosts a second annual International Migratory Bird Day Festival: Tropics To Tundra. Co-presented by the Phoenix Parks Department, Arizona Game and Fish, Audubon Arizona, Liberty Wildlife, Wild at Heart and the Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center, this year's festival will celebrate the migration of birds with live bird demonstrations, educational booths, guided bird walks and plenty of hands-on activities for the kids. "It really gives families, children and people of all ages the opportunity to get up close and personal with wildlife," Watson says, "and hopefully enjoy some of the natural migration activity that's occurring right now that can definitely be seen in an area that attracts so many birds".

Those of us who live down here know that there is plenty to do. There are a number of high quality restaurants, taverns, art galleries, and music venues. And what about World Champion sports teams? I just got back from the Diamondbacks home opener where they gave anything but mercy to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 9-3 victory.

My point is; there is plenty to keep a person busy downtown. And the number of things aimed at the college demographic keeps growing as well. In fact, a new clothing boutique has its Grand Opening this Saturday night. Located at the ground floor of the San Carlos Hotel, Rise Up is yet another must-see that is within walking distance from ASU's Downtown Campus.

Rise Up is a humanitarian organization with the mission of "rising up" children out of poverty. Currently, Rise Up funds and operates educational programs in the poorest parts of Nicaragua, China, and India. The boutique is already open for business, but is having its official Grand Opening this weekend at the San Carlos' rooftop pool.

After more than a year of negotiations, the city staff has hammered out a lease-purchase agreement for the Jefferson Street parking garage located between Chase Field and U.S. Airways Arena on the south side of Jefferson Street. The agreement must then be signed with representatives of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks, who need the 1,400 parking spaces on game days. The ordinance scheduled for council action includes a provision that the professional sports teams, as part of the $20 million lease-purchase agreement, negotiate with the developers of the Jackson Street Entertainment District to allow construction of retail space and rental housing the southern exterior of the garage. That would be the first stage of creating the blockbuster entertainment-related neighborhood that would cover about 20 city blocks. Dale Jensen, majority owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks and a minority owner of the Phoenix Suns, is one of the primary partners in the Jackson Street development, along with David Wallach, Brad Yonover and Michael Hallmark. Jensen has said that commencing the development by adding retail and residential components to the parking structure is crucial to the entire project. His insider status, however, didn't guarantee that other team owners were keen on the idea. Though Jensen told the Phoenix Business Journal last fall that a deal to secure the parking garage on behalf of Jackson Street Entertainment District was imminent, it didn't happen. Deputy City Manager David Cavazos said he has been negotiating with the teams toward a resolution on the garage. The city, meanwhile, needs the $20 million to reimburse another developer, RED Development Co., which is building the nearby CityScape project with additional public parking. Otherwise, the Jefferson Street Garage will be given to RED when its development is partially completed in 2009. Cavazos said he is optimistic everything can be worked out, if the council approves the deal. He noted that Sun's majority owner Robert Sarver is talking with the Jackson Street folks. "Robert Sarver met with David Wallach (Monday) to discuss the Jackson Street Entertainment District concepts," Cavazos said. "We walked Jackson Street as part of this meeting. We are hopeful that all of the parties will come together and negotiate in good faith during the next 60 days."]]> 552 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/09/14th-annual-arizona-asian-festival/ Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:06:20 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=554 April 18 - 20.

The exhibit, on display through July 31, features the black-and-white photography of Kevin Martini-Fuller, the color photography of Lorraine d’ Entremont Rawls, the interpretive paintings of Karen Foster-Wells, along with tools and clothing unique to the Camargue region. In a small area of southern France called the Camargue, there are cowboys or “gardians” not unlike Arizona’s own. The Brotherhood of the Gardians dates back to 1512. In 1905, this culture was revived by French writer and rancher Folco de Baroncelli, who had been inspired by seeing Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show in Paris.

My photographs are based on my curiosity with the underlying marketing forces that inundate suburbia.  I create miniature still-lifes of everyday suburban occurrences and then photograph them to exact my point of view. My intention is to attract the viewer into examining the familiarity of everyday life.

My choices in colors are part organic, part synthetic, yet distinctly artificial and they reflect my personal sentiment regarding the evolution of the suburban consumer. I add to the visual texture of a still-life by using toys as additional props.  These objects disposed of by others and discovered at thrift stores are a symbol of suburban consumption patterns.

I use an architect's scale during construction of the still-lifes to make sure they are visually in proportion. By shooting the photographs with a macro lens, I am able to control the scale that is captured on film. My process is the opposite of a landscape photographer and allows me to exhibit larger-than-reality photographs.

This affords the viewer the opportunity to expand their worldview beyond mundane suburbia.

The Coup de Grace Gallery is located at 707 S 3rd St, just south of the Downtown Phoenix Warehouse District.

Having never done this before, I'm sure I don't even know how much I don't know. Whenever I'm at one of the local restaurants/bars that I admire, I try to meet the owner and ask a few questions. As you probably have heard a hundred times, opening a restaurant is long hours. I've been amazed that everyone has been so open and supportive and generous with their time. Places like Cibo's, Lost Leaf, Lisa G's wine bar, Matt's Big Breakfast and Roosevelts, Pizza Bianco, Bentley Projects, Ruby Room, etc are setting downtown apart from the suburbs and the rest of Phoenix. However, we still need more of this. We need more creative and talented business owners to come downtown. The point of this post is to say that my experience thus far tells me that you'll have plenty of support from the local small business owners. I've been told that the process with the City, although still difficult has improved greatly. I'm convinced that the customer base will grow as fast as the authentic and creative businesses open in this area. Basically, build it and they will come. People are waiting for more. If you're someone considering opening a downtown business and need to find a space for it we can help you with that. -Mark]]> 599 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/18/very-cool-condos-near-asu-downtown/ Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:10:06 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=601 lyle@urbanconnectionrealty.com]]> 601 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2008/04/18/sports-update/ Fri, 18 Apr 2008 22:11:42 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=603 Welcome to the weekend folks!

Side Bar had been secretly open for a few weeks.  It is located on the SW Corner of 7th Ave & McDowell in the recently renovated, historic bulding which is also home to a Starbucks and a Pei Wei.  If you've already been to the Side Bar, let us know what you thought.  If you haven't been, you should check it out.    find out more at www.sidebarphoenix.com]]> 435 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/01/15/rock-n-roll-marathon-fitness-expo/ Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:54:49 +0000 http://lifeafterthecubicle.com/?p=443 January 16 - 17.  One of the events leading up to the P.F.

Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning?

What the young men discover changes them forever. Through one on one interviews and real life encounters, the brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit.     The evening will conclude with a brief opportunity to ask questions of the film’s lead actors Michael Campo and Jeffrey Azize.

Music lovers can bring the Phoenix Symphony into their cars and living rooms next month, when the CD of its program “Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio” debuts on the Naxos label. The CD is the fifth recording for the symphony, and the organization’s first release since 1994. The live album captures the sold-out world premiere of the piece as it debuted Feb. 7, 2008, at Symphony Hall under the leadership of Virginia G. Piper Music Director Michael Christie. The oratorio, composed by composer-in-residence Mark Grey, features baritone Scott Hendricks and the 120 voices of the Phoenix Symphony Chorus. The work, a contemporary retelling of an ancient Navajo epic story, incorporates both the Navajo and English languages. The CD will be formally released on March 31 on the Naxos label, under catalog number 8559604. It is expected to be sold through major retailers as well as the Phoenix Symphony Gift Shop before and after orchestra performances at Symphony Hall, 225 E. Adams St., Phoenix.

The Downtown Phoenix Public Market was set up by Community Food Connections, a 501(c)3  non-profit organization whose mission is to grow strong communities, healthy food, healthy families and healthy farms. Cindy Gentry, executive director of Community Food Connections is passionate about the market. “This is about local. This is about agriculture. This is about renewing and reviving agricultural tradition and our heritage.  Everything here is made or grown or harvested by the person that’s selling it.  It is an intersection for gathering. A value system about eating well and making it available to every socio-economic level.” The Downtown Phoenix Public Market takes place at 721 N. Central Ave on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and McKinley Street. Find free parking in the lot or on the street. In addition, the new light rail line stops just two blocks away in either direction at Fillmore or Roosevelt. The market is open year-round on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a smaller version of the market takes place on Wednesdays from 4-8 p.m. Cash, VISA, MasterCard, food stamps, and Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks are accepted. See you there! Update: Announcement of Grocery Store!

A year-and-a-half later, the band returned with a good but not great follow-up, ironically titled "You Could Have It So Much Better." The title captures the essence of many sequels: It's nice to see an encore from a good act, but it's seldom quite the same as the first time around. Moving from music to food, the people behind Sam's Cafe, the Arizona Center's longest enduring restaurant, have attempted a sequel with 1130 the Restaurant, named for the suite number it occupies rather than its hours of business. 1130 feels a lot like Franz Ferdinand's second album. It's a solid, inoffensive choice for anyone looking for a meal at the Arizona Center, but it's hard to escape the conclusion that the restaurant's customers could indeed "have it so much better" if 1130 sharpened its focus. 1130 occupies a prime spot in the Arizona Center, located roughly halfway between the Van Buren / Central Avenue (northbound) and Van Buren / 1st Avenue (southbound) stations and the 3rd St. / Washington (westbound) and the 3rd St. / Jefferson (eastbound) stations. It's at the east end near the parking garage and sees a lot of pedestrian traffic. The restaurant has a stylish look both inside and outside. Near the main entrance, there are couches and lounge-style seating. Inside, a bar divides two different dining rooms. There's additional outdoor seating on a L-shaped patio. The furnishings are contemporary and brick and wood interiors keep the place looking current. The look promises a little more than it delivers. The sofas outside suggest the ideal venue for casual noshing on small plates and wine by the glass. Unfortunately, these couches are often used merely as a waiting area, and the appetizer menu emphasizes fairly heavy items that seem at odds with casual patio dining. The starters are an amalgam of the slightly adventurous (mussels ) and the familiar (calamari and chicken wings). Some of the first courses show real promise in their execution; the calamari blends sweet and spicy tastes in a presentation dappled with sliced banana peppers, and a simple green salad accentuated with pecans is surprisingly effective. Still, most here does not fit with the restaurant's stated emphasis on health-conscious preparations. Maybe the idea is for customers to indulge in appetizers and then make up for doing so with lighter entrees.

Things sure look different around here.

Don't worry, it's still the same DPJ you've come to know and love. Lyle still has his real estate stories and we have plenty of man-on-the-street bloggers ready to report on the happening of downtown Phoenix.

We need your help. You see, this is a beta release, meaning we're not quite finished yet. Content is still being moved over, edges are still being sanded down and layout is still being discussed.

Do us a favor and poke around. Let us know what you like, what you don't like and if anything is broken. Your help will allow us to make this site THE destination for urbanite Phoenicians.

Thanks.

Urban Affair, a marketing and promotions company for downtown Phoenix, has announced the acquisition of the Downtown Phoenix Journal The redesigned website invites residents to Explore Your Core, with a friendly insider’s view of downtown events, restaurants, cultural hot spots, and profiles of people on the City scene.

Originally launched as a blog site in 2006, the Downtown Phoenix Journal (DPJ) is one of the only websites to aggregate news and information from the greater downtown area and man on the street blog posts.

“The DPJ is a natural fit for our mission,” Urban Affair Founder Catrina Knoebl said.“Urban Affair promotes our downtown through community and business partnerships and the Journal has evolved into the go-to outlet for residents seeking lifestyle information.Together, we create a one-stop online portal for all things Downtown Phoenix.”

“We will promote Phoenix’s urban living movement – and those who make it move,” Knoebl added.“For every good story there is a group or individual making it happen.Where would Downtown Phoenix be without the contributions of the Phoenix Public Market, Local First Arizona, the Roosevelt Neighborhood and the City of Phoenix itself?”

The acquisition was made in partnership with Samuel I. Richard, ASU Public Programs student and community advocate.Richard will act as DPJ’s Editor-in-Chief.

“It’s a dream of mine to contribute something like this to the downtown community,” Richard said. “Additionally, the site redesign allows us to expand the current information and offer more resources and interactivity than ever before to help visitors engage with Downtown.”

In the over two years since its original launch, the DPJ has become a primary resource for downtown information, with a focus on community bloggers providing insight into various aspects of downtown.Created by real estate agent Lyle Plocher, of Urban Connection Realty, the site presented information that was useful and relevant.

“There was a void that needed to be filled,” said Plocher.  “Then, with the site’s success, what started as a side project became almost a full time job.I know that it will be in good hands moving forward.”

Her tasty soups and salads have been a huge hit, especially since she's big on vegetarian options. Now you can enjoy Kletkke's cooking every day of the week, at her brand-new restaurant, Sapna's Cafe, which just opened yesterday. It's located on Grand Avenue (1301 NW Grand, 602-254-6726), in the circa-1947 Bragg's Pie Building, one of Phoenix's last examples of "streamline moderne" architecture. Kletkke's breakfast menu includes omelets, scrambles, and vegan breakfast dishes like tofu scrambled with veggies; for lunch, there are a variety of salads and sandwiches, as well as different vegan and non-vegan entrees featured daily, served with salad and bread. Sapna's Cafe is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Klette might become a regular at the farmer's market again, too -- "if I get organized," she said.

So for people who want to enjoy their art and culture in a slightly more relaxed setting, there is Art Detour.  The once-a-year, all-weekend event lets visitors take a self-guided tour through the art galleries and studios in central Phoenix. Sloane Burwell, president of Artlink, the group behind First Fridays, said Art Detour is a great time to take in the downtown culture and to visit galleries that aren't normally open during First Fridays. “There aren't really a lot of places for people to just walk around, but Art Detour is a solution to that,” Sloane said. “There are so few times that an artist will open up their studio space, and this is a great opportunity for people to interact with the artists and see things they can't normally see.” Kyle Jordre, owner of Jordre Studio, said Art Detour is particularly important for artists who don't have an open gallery and who can't show their work to the public regularly. “My place is a working studio and is always covered in paint and tarps,” Jordre said. “During Art Detour, I clear out the space and make it gallery-ready and presentable. I don't expect to sell. I expect people to come in and talk and see what's happening. It's vital for something like Art Detour to be maintained.”  Art Detour will also feature a Kid's Detour, with G-rated events, galleries and hands-on activities for kids. Burwell said the event is important for art education in the community, especially with recent budget cuts to art and music programs in public schools.  “There's a decent chance that if you're a student, you could grow up never taking an art class,” Sloane said. “It's important to see what art has to offer.” Jordre said that aside from education, Art Detour is great for social interaction.  “It's a great way to communicate with different types of people,” Jordre said. “You can meet up with friends, do a little bar hopping and see some great art.”

The Journal has more on this, and many other events on our Calendar Page.

One of the components of the recently passed Stimulus Bill which probably contains the most significant potential to impact an individual person or couple, is the $8,000 Federal Tax Credit available to First-time homebuyers.  This Tax Credit is available to anyone who does not currently own a home or who has not owned a home during the last 3 years.  The Credit is a direct reduction of a person's Tax liability and can even result in a Tax Refund if your Tax liability for the year is less than the amount of the Credit.  The Tax Credit is only applicable to properties purchased in 2009.  The Tax Credit amount received does not have to be repaid at any future date.  There are Income limitations to the program.  More about the Tax Credit   If you have been thinking about buying a Home or Condo, 2009 is a fantastic time to do it.  Between the extremely affordable housing prices, low interest rates and this Tax Credit, it's a no-brainer.   If you have any questions at all about the home-buying process or would like to start researching available properties in your price range, contact Lyle Plocher with Urban Connection Realty at 602 373 3725 or lyle@urbanconnectionrealty.com]]> 1064 0 0 0 12 http://real-estate.explainedonline.net/2009/03/04/first-time-homebuyersfeeling-stimulated-yet/ 0 0 13 http://real-estate-investing.explainedonline.net/2009/03/04/first-time-homebuyersfeeling-stimulated-yet/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/03/05/melrose-7th-street-fair/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 20:44:06 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=1080 The 8th Annual Melrose on 7th Ave Street Fair is upon us.

For the price of $160,000 they got: "Arizona's urban heart." "To which," one reader told me, "They should have added, ' . . . needs a defibrillator.' I suppose it was fortunate that the well-paid marketing experts selected the heart as the most appropriate organ to describe our city. It could have been worse. If Phoenix is "Arizona's urban heart," however, does that mean there also is a "rural heart," a "mountain heart," a "godforsaken desert heart," a corner-of-the-state-where-the-polygamists-live heart," and so on? And if there were a "suburban heart" to Arizona wouldn't that, too, be . . . Phoenix? The downtown partnership's CEO told The Arizona Republic , "First off, a brand or an image that you are portraying has to reflect the reality, but it's also aspirational. This is what we are focused on becoming."Meaning what? Phoenix hopes someday to be the most vibrant urban area in Arizona? We're there. That isn't what best defines us. People who have lived here a long time know that what makes Phoenix unique is that it feels less like America's fifth-largest city and more like its biggest small town. Does branding even make sense for a city? Some time back, San Diego, which needs no hype, paid for the slogan: "365 Days of Ahhhhhhh!" Which sounds like the noise a tourist makes after stepping on a stingray. New Jersey supposedly hired a firm to come up with the slogan: "We'll win you over." The governor rejected it. (State officials should have gone with the brilliant but unsolicited suggestion: "New Jersey: You got a problem with that?") A few years back the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau paid $150,000 for "Live large; Think big." For that kind of money they should have added, "spend foolishly." One expert quoted in The Republic article said that cities trying to re-brand themselves should not play it safe. That's why the Las Vegas slogan is so successful. He added that any good slogan also must be honest. Given that, if we apply the Vegas model to our town it would go something like: "What happens in Phoenix . . . doesn't necessarily have to stay here." Or, "What happens in Phoenix . . . also happens in Dallas and Denver and St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio, and . . . " Even better, we simply could switch our slogan from the declarative to the interrogative. As in: "What happens in Phoenix?" The great columnist Dave Barry is constantly coming up with new and better mottos for his home state of Florida - "We voted for WHOM?" - and the city of Miami - "Maybe you won't get shot." Sadly, his suggestions are ignored. The logo that will accompany the new Phoenix slogan features a green "X." As in: "X marks the spot." Hopefully, this will lead to a treasure hunt in which city dwellers can search for the $160,000 that the downtown partnership spent on the "Arizona's urban heart" slogan. Phoenix is no Brand "X." I'm sure that many of you could come up with suggestions for a motto that would reflect the reality and expectations of a growing, sun-drenched city in the desert Southwest that is striving to reach its pinnacle but isn't there yet. Like: "Phoenix . . . half-baked."

Light rail began running in December, and what a difference a few months has made. Last week, several downtown business owners lobbied a transit agency to make sure that their shops would sit near a future light-rail route. Metro appeared before an influential downtown business group to talk about plans for a light-rail span that would link West Phoenix, the state Capitol and downtown in 2019.  Metro is weighing several possible routes on the west end of downtown. One option would put tracks on Jackson Street. Another alternative would use Washington and Jefferson streets, Metro officials told the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. Dale Jensen and David Wallach, two of the businessmen behind the proposed Jackson Street Entertainment District pushed for the Jackson Street option. The city wants an entertainment district, and a Jackson Street light-rail route makes sense, Wallach said.  Bill Smith, who owns four downtown restaurants, including Stoudemire's Downtown, argued for the Washington-Jefferson option. All of his downtown restaurants sit near the Washington-Jefferson corridor.  "I have to disagree with my brother, Dale Jensen," Smith said. The banter was playful, but the stakes are high.  Metro recently announced that initial daily light-rail ridership was nearly 20 percent higher than expected. About 30,000 boardings - one-way trips - are made each day.  If a business is located near the future light-rail line, those trains could bring thousands of potential customers.

Building on the success of last year's debut, this year's PHX:fringe Festival showcases a wide variety of exciting performers from the local, national, and international alternative theatre communities. These artists will converge in the Valley for two weekends of theatre unlike anything Phoenix audiences have ever seen.

This year's PHX:fringe Festival promises to energize the blooming arts scene of the downtown Phoenix area. Audiences will have a wide variety of performance choices, with a total of twenty-nine different shows being presented in a total of 94 performances over the course of ten days. Festival performances will take place in five different venues, and PHX:fringe will also be hosting special events and workshops throughout the week, which will be open to both participating artists and audience members.

PHX:fringe is realizing in Phoenix the mission of fringe festivals throughout the world: to celebrate alternative performance and bring the theatre of tomorrow to audiences today. Los Torrenzos, the renowned performance duo from Spain, will debut Identity, a new work about the immigrant experience. Nationally-renowned New York performer Antonio Sacre, who has been hailed as "a sexual extremist", will perform The Next Best Thing, his hilarious new solo show. Local artists will collaborate with clients from Tumbleweed, a center for Phoenix's homeless youth, to develop and perform The Other Side, a docudramatic piece about their lives. From zany camp musicals to radical political dramas, the festival will feature a wide range of shows, with something for everyone.

Tickets for festival performances go on sale March 4th and are available for purchase online through Showup.com. Individual show tickets are only $7, or save by buying discount passes for multiple shows. The PHX:fringe team is still seeking to add new volunteers, who will receive free tickets.

Now in its 21st year, the Phoenix tradition, which typically draws upwards of 10,000 patrons, has bridged the wide gap between artists and suburb dwellers who think art should match their throw pillows. This year, both art fans and the artless will find the Detour even more accessible, thanks to light rail and a new, improved shuttle system.

Art Detour kicks off with an expanded First Friday on March 6 and continues through Sunday, with extended gallery hours and a Seventh Avenue Street Fair from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. In addition to the usual arty fetes (like the I.S. Survival party at the Icehouse, 429 W. Jackson St.) and boutique bashes (Made, at 922 N. 5th St., is a sort of unofficial Detour Central), street vendors will be stationed along Garfield, between Third and Seventh Streets, all weekend. As ever, much of the action takes place on Grand Avenue and along Roosevelt Row, but outlying galleries are also showing off their best this weekend.

Here's a sampling of galleries (full map here) that will be open throughout the weekend:

Gallery Marsiglia (1018 Grand Ave): "Metals, Rock, Fashion" is a series of jewelry-centric events featuring a steel-bending demo by "master bladesmith" Ray Rybar, and a lecture from Mrs. Hancock, the Valley's premier etiquette instructor, who'll instruct us on the proper protocol for jewelry-wearing at weddings, the theater, and (one hopes) art exhibits.

Jordre Studio (1007 Grand Ave): A trio of diverse local artists — Jennie Ignaszewski, Tyson Crosbie, and Kyle Jordre — are on display in "3," a show documenting the city's urban beauty in varied styles.

Modified Arts (407 E Roosevelt St): A solo show by painter James Angel is the visual highlight of a weekend of music from the likes of singer/songwriter Elesisha Eagle, Sister Cities, and the Terrible People.

MonOrchid (214 E Roosevelt St): New paintings from Christina Ramirez and Randy Slack will be exhibited in "Multiple Personalities," a Detour-exclusive show of new work.

The Paisley Violin (1028 Grand Ave): Folks interested in aural as well as visual art will want to keep the Violin on their Detour to-do list, as this cafe gallery will be featuring live music all weekend long. The Dorsets will perform on Friday night; Chicks with Sticks on Saturday from 2 until 4, and local jazz musicians throughout the day on Sunday. An exhibit by the Arizona Print Group will also be on display.

Perihelion Arts (610 E Roosevelt St #137): Photographer Davyid Lemmon's newest works are featured in "Fact Illusion and Structure," a collection of evocative, black-and-white fantasy portraits.

PRAVUS Gallery (501 E Roosevelt St): "The Panelists" is an ink-drenched celebration of the comic book that includes art by Russ Pope, Luster Kaboom, Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh, and the show's curator, Krk Ryden.

Tilt Gallery (919 W Fillmore St): This is not your grandmother's photo album: Mark Osterman's new show, "Artifacts of a Curious Mind," offers the artist's warmly hand-tinted photographs, each an ambrotype printed from a collodion negative.

“There was a void that needed to be filled.”

That's what Lyle said over two years ago. Since its launch, the Downtown Phoenix Journal has become a go-to resource for downtown information, with a focus on community bloggers providing insight into various aspects of downtown. Created by real estate agent Lyle Plocher, of Urban Connection Realty, the site presented information that was useful and relevant.

What started as a side project became almost a full time job, and that work will now continue under the leadership of Urban Affair. The redesigned website will invite residents to “Explore Your Core,” with a friendly insider’s view of downtown events, restaurants, cultural hot spots, and profiles of people on the City scene. Be looking for daily updates of things to do, places to be, and a never-ending stream of ways to Explore Your Core...

I got word last night that Palatte, the popular downtown brunch spot known for its eclectic menu and relaxed historic-house setting, just closed yesterday. Supposedly the restaurant was still doing a bangin' business on the weekends, when people would line up for frittatas, scrambled egg "mishmashes," and roasted sweet potato pancakes, but weekday lunch business dropped off in recent months. Sources tell me that owners Ed and Christine McHale got an offer they couldn't refuse from some folks who want to put another restaurant in that spot. Stay tuned for more details . . .

This is sad news for us here at The Journal, our best wishes go out to Ed and Christine for their next adventure. Palatte, je t'aime!

The sculpture, titled “Her secret is patience,” is set to be installed March 9 to 12. The design of the sculpture was inspired by Arizona’s distinctive monsoon cloud formations, and by saguaro flowers and boots (which form inside the cactus). Its title comes from a quote by poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.” The webcam view from the sixth floor of the college, located next to the park in downtown Phoenix, overlooks the two giant steel rings which will help support the sculpture. The webcam can be accessed online at http://copp.asu.edu/do/from-the-dean/civic-space. It is housed in the offices of Debra Friedman, university vice president and dean of the College of Public Programs at the Downtown Phoenix campus. The flexible netting will be suspended 38 feet above the ground on a framework of steel rings, cables and poles. The artwork will rise to an overall height of 100 feet and be about 100 feet wide at the top. Special lighting will make the sculpture visible as a landmark at night. The structure that will support the art sculpture was a complicated feat of engineering that was recognized with the Excellence in Structural Engineering Award from the Arizona Structural Engineers Association. When opened next month, the 2.77-acre Downtown Civic Space Park will include several large grassy areas, spaces with game tables, an interactive water feature, public seating and hardscape where student organizations can network, much like they do outside ASU’s Memorial Union in Tempe, and Phoenicians and visitors can mingle.

For information about the webcam view, contact Corey Schubert at (602) 496-0406 or corey.schubert@asu.edu. For more about the net sculpture installation, contact Joyce Valdez at the City of Phoenix at (602) 262-6213.

One thing I didn't know was that the rail has stops within a block of US Airways Center and Chase Field (the eastbound rail has a stop right in front of Chase Field). I could actually get out and see more Diamondback games this year!  On my ride into downtown, I saw several restaurants that I want to go back and try when I have more time. I wouldn't have known they were there if I wasn't riding the light rail.

One place is First Watch at One 1st street. They open early so if I worked downtown and wanted some breakfast, I could see myself leaving the house a bit sooner.  Or I might try Fair Trade Cafe, a little coffeehouse that deals only with fair trade coffee and supports local businesses.  One of the stops is only a block from Margaret T. Hance Park on north 3rd Avenue. Near the park is the Irish Culture Center and the Japanese Friendship Garden.

There is so much to see and do around downtown Phoenix that I never knew about until I took the light rail and explored.  I have no excuse now for not seeing what the city has to offer and I have the light rail to thank for that.

We're happy to have you on board, Greg.  For even more to do in Downtown Phoenix, sign up for our newsletter in the top-right corner of this page.  And if you're looking for places to eat, drink, or shop all along the light rail line be sure to check out our friends over at Rail Life.

That's what Margaret Dunn said when she introduced Ollie The Trollie service into Downtown Phoenix in the beginning of 2009. And that's what you can expect from one of Phoenix's Top 25 Women In Business. The result? Increased ridership upwards of 275% over the last two months, with plans to expand and increase those numbers.

Dunn shared her passion of trollies with a group of Downtown Phoenix thought-leaders at a meeting hosted by the Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) last night. "Holly The Trolley" will be operating from 7PM - 11PM Sunday to Thursday, and 7PM - 2:30AM Friday and Saturday. The expanded hours might be the just the extra push that our downtown nightlife needs to "be on the map." There are plenty of bars, clubs, and local haunts to keep any urbanite occupied - but a late night trolley service could be the ticket to making the Core of Phoenix that much more inviting.

Don Keuth, President of PCA, was on hand at the meeting to share happenings and exciting news on the horizon in and around Downtown Phoenix. Here are some tidbits:

• Ridership on the Light Rail is above projections for every day - including double for Sundays.
• Turf Accountant, a fully-licensed bar, is now open - big news because the last few bars have only served beer & wine.
• Moira, the long-awaited sushi bar on 3rd St & McKinley, should be open by the end of the month.
• Alta Phoenix Lofts will be taking its first tenants this month.
• City Scape announced a more leases. The list now includes: AJ's, Gold's Gym, Urban Outfitters, and CVS.

The highlight of West of Western is the Chefs’ Invitational Grand Tasting, an unparalleled gathering Arizona’s top executive chefs, chefs de cuisine and pastry chefs.  Set outdoors in Phoenix Art Museum’s lush Dorrance Sculpture Garden, West of Western chefs work with their crews to prepare entrees “al fresco”.   Festival guests have unprecedented behind the scenes access to the chefs and can ask questions about techniques and ingredients.  The 50 participants are selected for their excellence and innovation in the culinary arts and come ready to impress with trend-setting specialties.

Inside the Museum festivities continue.  The Great Hall hosts The Wine Table presented by Whole Foods Market, a wine connoisseurs’ paradise of dozens of labels from around the world, and for the first time chocolate confections by half a dozen of Arizona's finest Pastry Chefs and Chocolatiers, paired with wines poured by West of Western sommeliers. In addition, Whole Foods presents a savory section of cheeses selected for their ideal pairing with wine.

Presentations by local and national food and wine experts, cooking demonstrations, live music and docent lead tours of Phoenix Art Museum complete the experience.

“This year’s line-up of chefs and programs will not disappoint,” commented Scott Andrews, Director of West of Western Culinary Festival.  “Several talented and highly-regarded chefs have joined the festival including Joshua Herbert of Posh, Brian Peterson of Cork, John Sharpe of The Turquoise Room and Patrick Peeters, formerly with the much acclaimed Barry Callebaut Chocolate Academy and now owner of Peeters Belgian Pastries & Chocolates.”

“It is very rewarding to see the festival grow each year,” commented David Johnson, West of Western Wine Director. “The public continues to engage in the contemporary cuisine that is bringing national recognition to Arizona restaurants and chefs.  West of Western provides a wonderful opportunity to have these innovative Arizona dishes paired brilliantly with international wines and spirits.”

General admission to Phoenix Art Museum is included with Festival tickets.   West of Western will be held on the opening weekend of In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein. This major retrospective, the most comprehensive to date, showcases more than 60 paintings and studies that demonstrate why Blumenschein is one of the most accomplished, successful, and innovative painters of the 20th century.

Almost 5,000 more people used light rail on an average weekday in February than in January, according to METRO officials.

For February 2009, METRO ridership totaled 908,052 boardings. That resulted in an average weekday ridership of 35,277, an average Saturday ridership of 31,417 and average Sunday and holiday ridership of 19,212.  Hillary Foose, with METRO, says that the Saturday numbers are almost as high as the weekday ridership thanks to a string of special events in downtown Phoenix and Tempe last month.

Phoenix artist, Carolyn Lavender, will be showing the current pieces in her "Journal" series.  These paintings are based on collages done in her personal journals, which she as been keeping since age 14. The acrylic paintings are a stream of consciousness in imagery that represent Lavender's gaze when it comes to the proliferation of imagery available today.

Lavender has been actively showing since 1992.  Some resume highlights include the 2004 Arizona State University Art Museum show "Democracy in America", the 1995 and 2007 Tucson Museum of Art Biennials, and the "Group Show of Strangeness", Durex Arte Contemporanea, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

We've posted three new wayfinding color options and are looking forward to your opinion!

Your feedback will allow the team to finalize design development and begin to focus on programming and sign placement.  Please take a look through the three options and rank them according to your preference.

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your feedback.   I’m anxious to hear from you!

Update (3/15): Survey is now closed.  Results to follow.

Update 2 (3/17): There will be a meeting at the DPP offices (101 N 1st Avenue) Wednesday, March 18, from 4PM to 6PM.  These new signs could be installed as early as this fall, so be sure to show up and make your voice heard!

To take the survey, follow this link.  Below are some thoughts from Terry Madeksza from the Partnership:

• The pilot program was very beneficial – we installed about 87 vehicular and pedestrian signs prior to the All-Star game and learned some very important lessons.  (Pictures are included in the survey showing both sign types in case you haven’t seen them.)  We heard from many visitors, and agree, that the color for the pedestrian signs did not stand out and were too small to capture the attention of passersby.  That is why we moved away from using a darker green.  We also heard that using two different sign colors (blue for vehicular signs and green for pedestrian signs) did not provide a sense that this was a cohesive system.  Visitors did not make the connection that the signs were part of the same system.  So – it is important for us to at least use the same color on the face panel.

• The parking signs will definitely change – we will likely move away from the number system and make the signs larger – so disregard the multiple colors on the parking signs.

• It is difficult to get a sense of the true color from looking at these slides on your computer screen.  The blue used in the second slide is actually the same color as you see on the temporary wayfinding signs currently in place.  The blue in the third slide is the standard blue you see on hospital signs and many street signs.

• The design team has shown a split in background sign color for vehicular signs and pedestrian signs.  We can elect to have one color as the back panel for each sign type (i.e., if you don’t like the purple/orange combination, we can have the purple/green combination throughout each sign type).

• There are pros and cons to each color recommendation.  The first two choices will give us a system that is unique and uses bright, vibrant colors; but they are custom colors.  The third option with the standard blue is more common, but it will allow us to use resources to purchase additional signs and provide replacement signs at a reduced cost.

• Let us know your feedback – and feel free to pass this along and obtain comments from friends, colleagues, etc.  We want to hear from as many folks as possible!!

The sandlot near Taylor Place on the Downtown campus may stay vacant for at least another year despite city attempts to attract developers, a Phoenix official said.

The city put out a request for proposals almost two years ago to develop the property, which is managed by the Valley Youth Theatre and located between First and Second streets.

But the city did not receive any responses that fit the criteria of the request for the nearly 28,000 square feet of property and does not anticipate receiving any in the near future, Phoenix Redevelopment Program manager Jeremy Legg said.

“That site is underutilized, and we would like to see something happen there,” Legg said. “But given the economy and the lack of responses to the first request, I don’t see anything occurring in there this year for sure.

By closing the request for proposals, the city could then reissue it with looser criteria in hopes that it would appeal to a broader audience and get more proposals, Legg said.

“Part of the reason that possibly nobody responded to it was because of the detailed criteria in [the first request for proposals],” Legg said.

Some of the criteria in the proposal included developing mixed-use facilities for residential, retail and commercial spaces as well as conforming to the area’s aesthetics. The proposal also asked that developers incorporate the youth theater into plans or assist in funding a new youth center.

Downtown students now have a more direct say in how their campus is run after they ratified their constitution, changing the student advisory board to a student government.

With elections coming up, the winners will be the first to be part of a complete student government. Most changes will not take effect until the beginning of the new election term May 18, after commencement.

With a new student government, student organizations will have a new procedure to get funding for their organizations.

Before, students filled out a proposal application and the executive board allotted funds accordingly. Students will still have to fill out proposal applications, but now they must go to the senate’s inner-committee council meetings. If a student organization misses more than two meetings per semester, it is not allowed to receive funding for a year. The inner-committee council will meet once a month during the fall and spring semesters.

“This was part of our constitution, and it’s a way for us to bridge connections between [student government] and student organizations,” nursing junior and the Associated Students of Arizona State University Downtown president Rabia Abdulmajeed said. “We want to be updated on what student organizations are doing — not only so we can make sure two groups aren’t doing the same thing, but so we can help promote these activities to students.”

Another difference with a new student government will be how elections are run. In past years, students interested in running for an elected position read a speech to the current student advisory board and were then voted on by the board, Abdulmajeed said. The coming elections will be decided by student voters.

Yesterday we broke ground for a new community garden. . This garden has been in its planning and approval stages for over 8 months so it was a quite a celebratory day! The Garden is located on the South Side of the Guru Nanak Dwara Ashram also home of Yoga Phoenix (a non-profit Kundalini Yoga Center) at the corner of 9th St and Oak in the Coronado Historic Neighborhood in Central Phoenix, AZ.  We got approval about 2 weeks ago and yesterday got to gleefully get our hands all dirty with mama earth.

The garden was conceived in the 108th Monkey Green Committee we formed at the Ashram last April. Julie “Ras Das’ Rasmussen is the Garden Coordinator and  because the Ashram has multiple groups and organizations who work within the building the Garden Proposal had to go through many committees before approval of the garden location were worked out. We really lucked out on the final location because it already has a watering system in place and because it has been watered lawn for so many years the ground was actually acceptable to plant in ground.  With a little help from amendments and extra soil we were able to put the bed into the ground which is sometimes difficult here in Phoenix.

Because I know the fragile self-esteem of Phoenicians is at stake, let me begin my observations about the state of the center city with the good stuff. I smelled the orange blossoms -- even stepping out into one of ugliest urban spaces anywhere, the pedestrian loading zone at Sky Harbor. Many of the Midwestern transplants dislike the scent, which makes me dislike some of them even more. But this small, fleeting thing reminds me of my often magical city that is gone forever.

Some of the projects begun under former Mayor Skip Rimsza and spearheaded by people like former Deputy City Manager Sheryl Sculley, retired Deputy City Manager Jack Tevlin and Ed Zuercher, now a deputy city manager, have turned out quite well. As I wrote before, the starter light-rail line is great. Now lots of places are clamoring for LRT; the trick will be to avoid using light rail when commuter rail would be more efficient. A metro area the size of Phoenix needs both. The Convention Center is such a startlingly attractive set of buildings that you wonder if the design was approved by mistake, given Phoenix's ability to erect such ugliness. The ASU downtown campus, Mayor Gordon's signature accomplishment, is more of a reality, and thus will be more difficult for the Legislature to destroy. The lovely oasis of Arizona Center remains, shady and cool.

Read on if you want to know "the rest of the story," as the late Paul Harvey would say.

Much of the center city looks as if it has been cleaned up after repeated carpet bombing by the Allies in World War II. There's just nothing there. It's staggering to see the cleared land along Van Buren, Washington and Jefferson in what was to be Mayor Gordon's "Opportunity Corridor." Other vacant lots proliferate around the Central Corridor. City Hall seems to have learned nothing from its clear cutting of the neighborhoods between 7th Avenue and the state capitol during the 1980s.

This is problematic for many reasons. First is what's lost. One would never know that Phoenix in 1950 was as densely populated as Seattle is today. Buildings, many average but many with architectural value, crowded along every street. For example, the district between 7th Avenue and the capitol had many Victorian houses and apartments from the territorial and 1920s era. Van Buren and east McDowell, to give just two examples, sported commercial strips with the buildings right up to the sidewalk. Downtown and the warehouse district were dense with interesting, durable, and in some cases priceless buildings. Now all gone.

Downtown Phoenix Partnership officials are hoping Valley residents and visitors will check out their Web site and participate in an online survey to gauge preferences for a new “way-finding” system downtown.

Dave Roderique, president and CEO of the partnership, said the group is working with the city of Phoenix to set up a system of easy-to-read signs pointing out key amenities, landmarks and features throughout the city’s core.

Leaders are still tweaking the signage and have identified two potential color schemes: one using bright blue and white, the other using purple and gold. They are hoping Web visitors can help them determine the most visually noticeable plan.

“The idea is to put up these signs at key locations throughout the summer to have the system in place by the fall,” Roderique said.

In addition, some of the orange-clad city ambassadors are using handheld devices to survey people downtown, he said.

Construction crews spent the first half of Thursday attaching what would have been the final installment of the already delayed Civic Park art installation. After consulting the plans, the designer realized that the flowing, woven netting did not fit and would need to be removed and fixed. Phoenix Public Art Program Director, Ed Lebow said the structural net of the lower portion of the conically shaped sculpture “clearly doesn’t fit.” “The lower tip was supposed to tip slightly upward to the southwest,” Lebow said Friday. Instead of resembling a Saguaro blossom, as intended, passersby described the sculpture as a cornucopia shape. Construction crews spent Friday removing the netting, which will be returned to Diamond Nets manufacturing in Everson, Wash. The engineers and fabricators will analyze the net and determine what went wrong in the manufacture. Lebow stressed that the city of Phoenix is committed to getting the art piece finished as quickly as possible, and that the repairs or redesigns necessary will be paid for by Diamond Nets. Neither Diamond Nets nor artist Janet Echelman could be contacted for comment.]]> 1431 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/03/22/note-david-roderique/ Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:00:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=1436 This is in reference to the March 14 letter regarding downtown Phoenix's new brand. Just to set the record straight, the branding initiative was paid for with private funds through the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. No city funds were used.

As the marketing arm of the downtown business community, the partnership's mission is to bring value to the downtown area. In the world we live in, with marketing messages coming at consumers from every angle, the partnership is striving to take downtown Phoenix above the clutter with this unified point of communication.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this use of private funding.

Similar to its first location, Postino Central will offer a casual yet upscale café filled with great food, inspired wines, friendly faces and good times. Perfect for a date night, girls’ night out, lunch or dinner with a friend or just chilling out, Postino Central is sure to become an uptown favorite.

Owners Craig and Kris DeMarco opened the first Postino Winecafe eight years ago in the Historic Arcadia Post Office building at 40th Street and Campbell Ave. They pride themselves on renovating old, charming buildings and bringing the area around them to life.

“Everyone kept asking us when we would open another Postino, but finding the right location took time. We waited patiently for eight years,” said DeMarco. “We are thrilled to be part of Central Phoenix in such a special building. We look forward to becoming an active participant in this community.”

And the DeMarco’s have kept their word, restoring the building to its original 1960’s condition while evolving its form and style. The completely renovated 2,000 square foot building features a large open bar, modern design and décor, living-room style seating and the finest patio dining.

Besides an inviting atmosphere, Postino is famous for its wine lists. Inspired varietals at reasonable prices make up the wine-by-the-glass list, which features 24-36 wines that rotate every 90 days. Wine Merchant Brent Karlicek combines a variety of imported and domestic wines that can be enjoyed in the café as well as purchased by the bottle to take home. Beer lovers will enjoy local and imported ice cold beer on tap.

To complement the thoughtfully selected wine list, Postino paires an Italian-influenced menu filled with what they call “café cuisine.” The food is simple yet substantial with only the freshest ingredients including produce from local farmers, imported Italian meats and cheeses and fresh bread from local artisan MJ Coe. You will find the same menu of bruschetta, salads, paninis, cheeses and antipasto at Postino on Central, all suitable for a meal or a snack.

Postino Central is located at 5144 N. Central Ave. on the southwest corner of Central and Colter. The Central Light Rail Station is a five-minute walk. Postino is open from 11am to 11pm daily. Guests can call 602-274-5144 for more information. Update: Postino Central opened up ahead of schedule - nod to David from PHX Rail Food for the tip!

With last week's abrupt closing of Palatte, I've heard several friends complain about the lack of breakfast options in Central Phoenix. But I guess the restaurant gods were listening, because I just found out about a brand-new spot that's in the works: Two Hippies Breakfast Joint.

It's the latest brainchild of Andy and Jan Goldstein, owners of the popular Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers and Two Hippies Beach House (read my review from last month). They're taking over what used to be Lil' Mama's Soul Cafe, as well as the next-door space in the Melrose Plaza, located on 7th Avenue north of Indian School.

Look for an early May opening.

The Phoenix Symphony was recently nominated by azcentral.com as one of the "Best Places for a First Date". Through April 15th, anyone can log onto azcentral.com and vote for their top choice (hint: the First Date question is located under the "People & Places category). We're up against some pretty tough competition in the First Date category so we thought we'd take a moment to examine some of the benefits of choosing The Phoenix Symphony as your First Date activity.

He's been called a token gay, constructive criticizer, anarchist, and vociferous walker. Meet Chad Swaney.

He's the kind of person who will spend hours, days, or weeks examining the unintended consequences of the great social and political decisions of the day from public transit to warrantless wiretapping, but will make disastrous decisions in his own life, such as the time he thought it would be smart to stay in a 2-star hotel booked on Priceline.

Chad also doesn't fit into any simple categories...he is not conservative, liberal, moderate, queer, or religious, although most people who meet him are pretty sure that he is neurotic, restless, and condescending. He doesn't believe in voting, taxes, gay marriage, straight marriage, leprechauns, or magic, but he believes pretty strongly in The Lost Leaf, craft beers, the color wheel, hummus, and curry.

People who enjoy debating whether the area between Roosevelt and I-10 should be considered "downtown" are exactly the kind of people who would enjoy having a beer with Chad. And if you have ever waited over 40 minutes to have your check delivered at Carly's, you definitely will want to hear what Chad has to say. If you think you may have contracted Hepatitis from using the bathroom at the old Willo House, then Chad is someone you should hang out with, because he knows a great doctor. If you are not sure which gay bar is safe to go to on a Sunday without fear of it being "leather daddy" night, Chad can help.

The bottom line is that Chad is here for you. Stay tuned for rants, raves, complaints, profundities, and an occasional moment of clarity from a gay you can trust.

Arizona State University's "Action, Advocacy, Arts" will emphasize the strength of community dialogue and engagement through a series of free activities from 1:30 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 3 at the Downtown campus University Center, 411 N Central Ave.

Highlights include:

• 1:30 to 3 p.m. - A Civil Rights Forum featuring national Native American rights leader John Echohawk, who has been called the "Thurgood Marshall of Indian Law."

• 3:30 to 5 p.m. - Open discussions led by experts on current civil rights and social issues, including immigration, health disparities, human trafficking and poverty in America.

• 6 to 10 p.m. - An Urban Art Exhibition featuring four new mixed media collections and a celebration of the arts as ASU joins the First Friday Art Walk.

"These activities serve as a catalyst to advance the goals of the community, bringing a wide variety of people and cultures together to exchange ideas and create solutions for current issues," says Debra Friedman, University Vice President and Dean of the College of Public Programs at the Downtown Phoenix campus.

Noted speaker Echohawk has long been regarded as one of the foremost litigators in matters of tribal sovereignty and the safeguarding of natural resources and ancestral burial sites. Recognized as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America by the National Law Journal, Echohawk is co-founder and executive director of the Native American Rights Fund. Registration will begin at 1:30 p.m., followed by the forum at 2 p.m.

The Advocacy Dialogues from 3:30 to 5 p.m. will offer thought-provoking discussions on modern human concerns, including community organizing and development. Discussions will be led by ASU faculty, community leaders and civil rights activists.

The Urban Art Exhibition will feature more than 500 diverse pieces on display from ASU Emeritus faculty, nonprofit community organizations and artists, and Barrett Honors College students. Live music will be featured on two stages, along with dancers and interactive art demonstrations. Many artists and nonprofit groups will be on hand to discuss their artwork.

Among the new collections this year is "Migration: Immigration, Giving Honor to Cultures and Communities," designed to encourage open-minded dialogue about an important and often divisive current issue.

"I find it extremely important that we continue to engage one another as a community about critical social and civil rights issues which not only affect us as individuals, but our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors," says Matt Besenfelder, Alumni and Community Outreach Coordinator for Public Allies Arizona.

Action, Advocacy, Arts is part of ASU's Four Realms of Discovery, a series of events across all four campuses designed to stimulate the mind, provoke intellectual conversation and empower you to make a difference.

This very cool, Orpheum loft unit is being offered at a price that we have never seen before, maybe even lower than the units sold for new in this building 3 or 4 years ago.  This unit features polished concrete and slate flooring, exposed brick walls, exposed ac duct work and some industrial finishes added by the previous owner. Priced at $125,000

For more information about this unit or any Downtown Phoenix real estate, Contact Lyle Plocher with Urban Connection Realty at 602 373 3725 or lyle@urbanconnectionrealty.com

Did you just do a double take? We did too. Introducing the Phoenix:Fringe Festival, which will transform Roosevelt Row and Grand Ave into an experimental performing arts hub March 27 through April 5. PHX:Fringe showcases local, national and international artists in provocative, edgy performances in favorite downtown arts spots. Modified Arts, 3rd Street Theatre, Space 55 and Tumbleweed Drop In Gallery are joining the fun on the east side, while PHiX, Soul Invictus and the Chocolate Factory are representing the west side.

DPJ will traverse the galleries and spaces in search of pure, unadulterated entertainment: Expect everything from short performances about ninjas, B-horror spoofs about severed heads and multi-performance laser-beamed looks into family life to a wacky one-man journey through black music history and a deeply comedic look into the life of Jewish grandmothers. Viewing these shows in nontraditional arts spaces only adds to the fun, bringing the crowd as close as possible to the performers, offering a unique, in-your-face perspective.

The PHX:Fringe Festival is a nonprofit organization founded last year that is dedicated to bringing community theatre to the communities of downtown Phoenix. Though it’s modeled after an ages-old Fringe Festivals of the ’40s and ’50s, PHX:Fringe is quickly becoming one of the most important of the modern Fringes, promoting open artistic live expression.

Head to the site to donate, volunteer or buy tickets for performances. Five-show passes are $30, 10-show passes run $50.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood joined Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and Phoenix City Council members today to announce two projects that will bring thousands of jobs to Arizona.

Secretary LaHood presented a $10.5 million check to the Mayor for the completion of a taxiway reconstruction project on the northwest side of the Airport. This project will create 285 construction jobs.

The U.S. Transportation Secretary, Mayor Gordon and Phoenix City Council members also broke ground and unveiled the name of Sky Harbor’s automated train: the PHX Sky Train. Stage one of the PHX Sky Train will connect with METRO light rail and transport passengers and employees between 44th Street and Washington, East Economy Parking and Terminal 4. Stage one, which will be completed in 2013 is creating 5,900 jobs.

Mayor Gordon has been meeting with leaders in Washington D.C. to discuss the acceleration of the PHX Sky Train construction to Terminals 3 and 2. An additional $200 million in federal stimulus funding would create thousands of additional jobs and serve all three terminals at Sky Harbor seven years earlier than originally planned.

“We are grateful to our partners in Washington for recognizing the ongoing infrastructure needs at one of the nation’s ten busiest airports,” said Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. “We are also excited that the Recovery funding for taxiway improvements is putting nearly 300 Arizonans back to work.”

While in Phoenix, Secretary LaHood also visited Sky Harbor’s Air Traffic Control Tower and spoke at the 18th Annual Phoenix International Aviation Symposium.

We're pretty stoked about this here at The Journal - if you share in our excitement (or not), we'd love to hear about it in the comments.

Upon arriving at Central Station, they noticed that the blue rails of the Bloom structure looked nice against the backdrop of the Westward Ho. They took photos, cameras aimed high to capture the antenna on top of the building. They were then approached by a Phoenix Police Department officer who was patrolling the station. According to Nash-McAdam, the officer asked them what they were doing, to which he replied that they were taking some photographs for personal use. The photographer states that the officer accused them of lying, and told them that he saw them taking pictures of a Federal Building that he claimed was located to the south of them, the exact opposite direction they would have been pointing their cameras to photograph the Westward Ho. Nash-McAdam states that he asked the officer which building he was referring to, but the officer refused to identify which specific building was the Federal Building in question. According to Nash-McAdam, the officer also informed him that he could also not take photographs of the light rail, bus stops, bank buildings, stadiums, street lights, or the airport. When asked why that was not allowed, the photographer says that the officer threatened him to try it and see. When the officer was asked what statute they were infringing upon, Nash-McAdam says that the officer told him to Google it. After taking the IDs of the two photographers and stating that he was calling for backup, the officer returned. According to Nash-McAdam, he again interrogated them about why they needed to take photographs of the city, and informed them that Federal Buildings were all around. According to the photographer, the officer informed them that their detention was a Homeland Security issue. When the officer finally let the two go, he left the photographers with a warning that he would be watching their activities. Nash-McAdam spoke to two other people with cameras in the Copper Square area. According to him, one photographer stated that he had been confronted by police about taking a photograph of Civic Square with the Bank of America building in the background, and the other stated that he was confronted by officers for taking photos of Chase Field. While Nash-McAdam doesn't think that this incident will keep him from visiting Downtown Phoenix in the future, he says that it has cemented his view that Phoenix is a "police state to me when held in comparison to my hometown of Orange County and the numerous other cities I've traveled to."

"I find it ironic they're building this art bloom right next to a federal building. Are they going to harass people who take pictures of this major point of interest that is being so touted by the mayor?"

One of the most disturbing parts of this story, besides the officer's unwillingness to cite a specific statute they were in violation of, was his statement that the forbidden buildings are all around. Apparently, this means that virtually all photography could now be presumed to be banned in Downtown Phoenix. Perhaps the reason the officer had so much difficulty in citing a statute that forbids the photographing of things as innocuous as a light pole, is because none exists. What it appears the officer was referring to was a joint FBI and Department of Homeland Security memo dated August 3, 2004, that requests local agencies "report information concerning suspicious or criminal activity to their local FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF)." A copy of this memo is available on the website of a Wisconsin municipality. This memo contains a similar list of items that are identified as "critical infrastructure" including:

• Banking and Finance
• Chemical
• Defense Industrial Base
• Electric Power
• Emergency Services
• Food/Agriculture
• Information Technology
• National Monuments and Icons
• Oil and Natural Gas
• Postal and Shipping
• Public Health
• Telecommunications
• Transportation (Rail/Mass Transit, Maritime, Aviation, Highway)
• Water

According to the FBI-DHS memo, people should be reported to their local terrorist task force for "showing uncommon interest in critical infrastructure/key resource facilities, networks, or systems (e.g. photographing or videotaping assets)." And according to the memo, photographing something as innocuous as "water" qualifies as threatening "critical infrastructure." What is particularly telling about the FBI-DHS memo is that, while it cites the USA PATRIOT ACT for its definition of "critical infrastructure" it does not cite any statute that would make photography of such infrastructure illegal. Unfortunately, incidents of photographer harassment are not limited to Phoenix. Jim Poulos, a train affecionado, has been told by officers in New York City that he was not allowed to take photographs in the Subway, when photography is explicitly permitted by an affirmative statute. Poulos has been collecting stories of photographers who have been wrongfully harassed by police at the War on Photography website. The stories, collected mainly from the United States, include one report, similar to the Phoenix incident, in which a photographer was questioned by FBI Agents for photographing in the general direction of an FBI building in downtown Amherst, NY. The site includes several accounts of harassment for taking photos on public transit from Chicago to Philadelphia. BBC-affiliated journalist Greg Palast was criminally charged for photographing an ExxonMobil refinery in conjunction with a documentary about the living conditions of Katrina refugees. While the charges were ultimately dropped in his case, this kind of harassment of photographers by the authorities has a chilling effect on everyone who uses a camera. Photography is not a crime. If the City of Phoenix wants a thriving, vibrant downtown, they need to instruct their police officers to relax their harassment of their guests who come to their streets--our streets--to capture the beauty that our city has to offer.

If you ask for a supervisor they will call one. Don't be a jerk, but this will help document any problem. If a PIO (public information officer) is called out (esp if it's after 9-5 or a weekend) the MEDIA will probably hear the page go out and it will be out of the normal so there's also more of a chance that media could roll up because a PIO means something out of the norm. I'd love to hear more about this, but without more documentation, there is not much the two can do. They could / should have requested a supervisor when they said they were "calling for backup"...

Why is that important?  Chase Field holds nearly 45,000 people, and there are 80 home games during the regular season.  Do the math.  With more options for people to explore the core of Phoenix both before and after games, and a light rail to connect our downtown with other parts of the city, baseball fans have even more reason to linger around. Where are your favorite spots to hang out before or after a ballgame?  Share a link, a suggestion or a story - see you at the game!

Across the street at Soul Invictus, a man was struggling to come to grips with a life sans genitals. Over on Roosevelt, the music of Chubby Checkers, Ray Charles, James Brown and Sam Cooke got a crowd on its feet, shakin’ moneymakers all around. And just steps south of there, a one-person a capella opera depicted 24 personalities exploring sexuality and gender issues. Crazy? Yep, that’s the Phoenix Fringe Festival. Spread over two weekends, PHX:Fringe was a whirlwind of 30 artists presenting over 130 performances in seven downtown-area arts spaces. PHX:Fringe is a non-profit organization started last year to increase awareness of live performing arts in the Valley. In just one year, founders Patrick Demers and Jonathan Beller have ballooned the success of the original PHX:Fringe (which was only a few performances at Space 55) into a full-blown success. DPJ set out to explore the second weekend of PHX:Fringe, taking in as many performances as possible back to back. We went in a bit confused, excited and unaware of what to expect. We left feeling mostly the same. Some of the highlights follow. Washington, DC’s David Gaines brought the cult-classic samurai film 7 Samurai to life in his one-man breakneck-speed adaptation, “7(x1) Samurai.” Classically trained as a mime and a theatrical performer, it’s easy to see why Gaines won Best Solo Performance at the 2008 Capital Fringe Festival. His spastic movement, hilarious Japanese impressions and body language and masterful storytelling are top-notch, and he doesn’t hesitate to throw his body to and fro in search of a good laugh. A packed house at the PHiX gave a well-deserved standing ovation. Across the street at Soul Invictus, a couple of Dallas boys put together “The Last Castrato,” a dark comedy about a boy born sans penis and a girl born with inside-out skin. It was every bit as disturbing (and hilarious) as it sounds, and crowds gave their approval. “Castrato” was shown as the encore show on the Grand side both Friday and Saturday night, and everyone was still talking about it Sunday afternoon before its final two performances. Back at the PHiX, longtime standup Alicia Dattner, a half-Jewish, half-atheist hailing from San Francisco, presented “The Punchline,” her one-woman show chronicling her adulthood struggle with her passion for comedy and her family’s disapproval — with hilarious results. She sang, she danced and she did a mean Jewish grandmother impersonation. The wacky character acting was sidesplitting hilariousness at its best, and her animated approach had the crowd laughing at… yep… every punchline. Going from Dattner’s lightheartedness to the sickly comedic “Head! A Symphony of Horror,” PHiX didn’t skip a beat. Conceptualized by Phoenix’s own Kevin Frei (who also was responsible for “Dial S for Stripper!” at Soul Invictus), this rock musical took a punch at old school B horror films, and showcased some seriously infectious tunes in the process. With some very visual characters and a dismembered head, what else could you ask for? The Roosevelt side of the PHX:Fringe didn’t disappoint, either. At Space 55, Albuquerque’s Kristen Loree seamlessly morphed from one persona to another in “VIXIN,” an a capella opera with 24 different characters. Think it’s hard to follow one woman doing 24 characters? Think again. Loree captivated the crowd in the most compelling and deeply artistic performance DPJ witnessed in this dark look at basic human sexuality and love. And did we mention it’s based on a true story? Sheesh. Also at Space 55, New Yorker Robert Moulthrop, actor, author, playwright and genuinely interesting guy, brought the house down with “17:5 – Blood, Death, Drag and Mom.” Indescribable as can be, “17:5” combines 17 of Moulthrop’s stories into five separate performances with strange laser beam accompaniment. Stranger still, it worked. Moulthrop brings his characters to life, and if the real-life counterparts are half as interesting as they are in skit, we’ll join his poker games anytime. Modified Arts played host to Movin’ Melvin Brown, a 60-something travelling showman with a comedic look at the history of black music in “A Man, A Magic, A Music.” Brown sang, tap danced, did the moonwalk and even strip teased his way through five-plus decades of music and U.S. history, all the while describing a tough upbringing in Cincinnati and a lifetime of globetrotting in the name of song, dance and comedy. All that dancing must work, because Brown doesn’t look a day over 35 and can still show up anyone on the dance floor. His entertaining look at racism, family values, love and loss meshed well with tunes that changed his life, and by the end of the night, he had a packed house out of their seats, rocking and rolling. Of course, this was only a taste of what PHX:Fringe had to offer. DJP is looking forward to the 2010 Fringe so we can catch even more wacky, ambitious and thought-provoking performance art, and we’re excited to see the fest expand even further.]]> PHiX Gallery had a samurai, a down-on-her-luck standup comedienne, a disembodied head and a sexual extremist all within its walls.

Gregory uses large format photographs of refugee students and excerpts from interviews of students and their families to draw attention to the complex experiences these students and families have in the public education system in Arizona.

Sumptuous, large-scale prints are interwoven with the cheerful, thoughtful and emotionally provocative words of students from countries such as Iran, Burundi, and Serbia.

“The first school I went to, they just put you in a class with nothing but refugees, but you all don’t speak the same language either so, you know,” says Aline, reflecting on her elementary school experience when she first arrived in Arizona from Burundi, over 10 years ago.

She rolls her eyes in order to explain—it was a disaster.

Later, she says, things improved. “I had this amazing teacher ‘cause I was bald and skinny and…yeah, interesting. So all the kids would make fun of me but then I would just go in her class and her name was Ms. Kennedy. She would stay after school, even though she wasn’t getting paid for it, she would stay after school to teach me everything that she was teaching in the class. After school she would be explaining it to me again, but to where I can understand it. Teaching me my abc’s, teaching me my words and stuff. So I think that she was the main reason why I speak so fluently now.”

A 19-year-old now attending Glendale Community College, Aline is studying to become a social worker, so that she can help to ease the transition to life in Phoenix for other newly arrived families.

Refugee students in Arizona are often placed in a class depending on their age, not their abilities. Most refugee students, including more than 2300 in the Washington School District alone, arrive at their first day of class in Arizona without being able to speak English. Most also do not know how to read or write.

This puts an incredible strain on the teacher and the learning environment. Elementary-age refugee students are also often quite confused and upset by their new educational surroundings. They don't understand why they are at this school and where their parents are. Translators who can readily answer these questions are rare; teachers and administration must rely on parents and other community members to help communicate. Refugee families rarely have their own phone. This barrier also makes communicating with the family, and the student, exceptionally difficult.

Refugee students, like all others, are expected to pass the state AIMS tests regardless of their language fluency. Finding dictionaries accepted for use during these tests is arduous and expensive for teachers -- further taking away from the time they can spend preparing the rest of their students.

Refugee students of all ages in Arizona also have an additional hurdle to cross; they do not have the educational support at home that other students have. Their parents more than likely do not speak English and cannot help with homework, projects or extracurricular activities. These students must use their own resources and those at the school to succeed initially.

COAR, Community Outreach & Advocacy for Refugees, helps bridge the gap between schools and families.

About COAR: Community Outreach and Advocacy for Refugees –COAR-- was founded in 2003 as a student group at ASU and has grown into a 501©3 non-profit based in Tempe with grassroots in the Valley. Our mission is to support resettled refugees in their efforts to rebuilt positive, self-sufficient lives. We do this in a variety of ways, including matching volunteers with recently arrived families in our Volunteer Anchor Program; linking mentors with refugee high school students in our Reaching Higher Program; and seeking partnership opportunities with other community organizations to advocate for the underserved refugee population of Arizona.

Our current programs work directly with more than 35 refugee families, 100 volunteers and half a dozen partner organizations. We also have more than 1,000 other refugees and community members participate in our monthly community events – film screenings, panel discussions, art exhibits, etc.

About Eliza Gregory: Eliza Gregory grew up in San Francisco, studied literature and photography at Princeton University, worked as a high school teacher and done social services with the International Rescue Committee in Tanzania. She moved to Phoenix in 2006.

She is the recipient of a 2008 Arizona Commission on the Arts Project Grant to support her work making portraits of resettled refugees in Phoenix. She received a public art commission from the City of Phoenix to install work in the bus stop panels at 7th Avenue and Glenrosa, and last spring she was honored by a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant Award.

Eliza joined the eye lounge gallery and artists' cooperative in 2007, and has served as the cooperative's co-president since 2008. Her portraits of resettled refugee families will go on display at the Phoenix Historical Society on April 16th. Her next show of new work, Refugee Status at School, will open April 17th at the eye lounge and run through May 9th.

Monday marks the return of Major League Baseball to downtown Phoenix with the Arizona Diamondbacks opening the 2009 season against the Colorado Rockies. Opening Day and the subsequent 81 home games at Chase Field are expected to give a much needed economic boost to bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium. "It's great to have the team back," said A.J. Sulka, managing partner of Majerle's Sports Grill.  "The home opener is always a big day for us, so it's exciting." Those who work at nearby businesses are also hoping to benefit from the addition of light rail to the downtown landscape, making it easier than ever for fans to get to and from the stadium.

Strong winds were no match for Malissa Geer’s months-long effort to organize the Downtown campus’ fourth-annual Urban Gallery Exhibition to bring ASU closer to the community.

The weather forced Geer, a University community-engagement liaison and the event’s organizer, to set up differently than planned, moving the outdoor stage inside the University Center to join the indoor stage. But the exhibition still helped to make the Downtown campus a true urban university, she said.

“I’m delighted because I know that the vision for our Downtown campus really is to be integrated without community,” Geer said. “I couldn’t feel better about the success of how many people did come out despite the wind and despite the million other important things they could have been doing tonight.”

The exhibition was the finale of the day-long Action, Advocacy, Arts event at the University Center, extending through the first two floors of the building, as well as floors four through eight. The day’s events included music, artistic performances and art.

From Palatte to Pischke's? Well, sort of. Less than a month after Palatte closed in downtown Phoenix, the space has been snatched up by the original chef of Pischke's Paradise, who's reopening the restaurant in early May as Local Breeze. Citing a "golden opportunity," former Pischke's chef Sid Campbell has come out of retirement to reintroduce several of the signature dishes that made the Old Town Scottsdale island-theme restaurant so popular for decades before it shuttered last summer.

The fresh-faced, 25-year-old graphic and interactive designer came to Phoenix five years ago, and is now aiming to unearth the hidden Phoenix design community. Through Twitter, an online social networking site, Dudlik discovered the expansive locality of designers in the Valley, but noticed something else too. Phoenix designers lacked communication between one another. He plans to change that. With Dudlik’s help, Phoenix may soon hold a design week. Currently slated for October 7-11, Dudlik is working on arrangements to bring the Phoenix design community closer together. Phoenix Design Week will strive to host galleries, exhibitions and lectures along the lightrail route. “In Phoenix, there aren’t really any design specific events. They are more focused on networking rather than actual design,” Dudlik explained. “Design Week is trying to get all of Phoenix and the Valley together so we know each other more and we can work together to be taken more seriously as a city.” According to Dudlik, Phoenix is not seen as a regionally independent community. “We’re always looked at as ‘the rest of the Southwest.’ We’re not even mentioned as a city unto itself.” He believes Phoenix can be ranked on the second-tier with Austin and Chicago. Dudlik said Phoenix Design Week is nothing more than an idea and a lot of people expressing interest at this point. However, the Phoenix Design Week website recently launched online at phxdw.com. It features upcoming valley design events, contact information and a survey for locals express their opinions on potential experiences during the event. Phoenix Design Week is not the only thing Dudlik is dabbling in. He is working on starting up a networking “hub” for designers and events in Phoenix called PhoenixRev. While Dudlik has not launched PhoenixRev yet, he envisions it as being the host organization to the design week and a way for designers to learn about other design events. Along with past classmates Tanner Woodford and Adria Robles-Morua, Dudlik runs an online magazine named Fill/Stroke. The idea began as a magazine, but it never made it to print. It is currently operating as an online design blog. He is now working for Sarkissian Mason, a design company headquartered in New York. The company satellite in Phoenix handles established clients including Mazda and IMAX.com. Dudlik graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Sciences in Graphic Design. “I’m fresh out of school so I’ve just been helping out wherever I can,” he said. ]]> 1987 0 0 0 153 0 0 154 http://chuckreynolds.us 0 0 155 http://blog.ninakulhawy.us/?p=297 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/09/cityscape-skin/ Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:22:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=1994 As you can see from the construction photo, crews are starting to add exterior glass walls to the steel framed structure of the 600,000 sq ft Class A, first tower at CityScape.  This tower will be home to a couple of Legal Firms, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey as well as Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll.  Additionally, the anchor tenant, Wachovia/Wells Fargo is still on board.  Also, in this tower will be a Gold's Gym and a steakhouse operated by Fox Restaurant Concepts.  Retail tenants who have committed to go into the CityScape project on the block previously occupied by Patriot's Square Park include AJ's Fine Foods, Urban Outfitters and its rumored that CVS Pharmacy will commit, which would give Downtown Phoenix its first Drug Store.  At least four other tenants are expected to be announced in the next 30 days according to a reliable source.   For those of you not familiar with CityScape, this project will eventually occupy three linear blocks right in the heart of downtown, creating needed connectivity between US Airways Center, Chase Field and the Warehouse district on the south with the north side of downtown.   More Info about the CityScape mixed/use Project

Williams will receive the 26th Cronkite Award on Nov. 18 at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel from ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Williams became the seventh anchor and managing editor in 2004, succeeding Tom Brokaw, who won the Cronkite Award three years ago. “As someone who grew up idolizing Walter and having come to know him in adult life, I know that there is no greater name in our profession,” Williams said. “Walter Cronkite is the only reason I entered the field of television journalism.” Williams has also won four Edward R. Murrow awards, five Emmys, the duPont-Columbia University Award and the George Foster Peabody Award. He also holds six honorary doctorates. “I am overjoyed that Brian Williams will accept the 2009 Cronkite Award from ASU,” Cronkite said. “It’s no secret that I am one of his most ardent admirers.” The New York Times called Williams' coverage of Hurricane Katrina “a defining moment as a network reporter and anchor.” Williams also covered the Sept. 11 attacks, the Iraqi War and the past four presidential elections. He was named one of the 100 “People Who Shape Our World” by Time magazine in 2007. “Williams understands the new state of play in the media and even has a blog of his own,” former Time managing editor Walter Isaacson wrote. “Yet he is traditionalist enough to protect the concept of a national conversation, based on a shared common ground of facts and reporting and ideas.” Williams joined NBC in 1993 and was named the network’s chief White House correspondent the following year. He was the anchor and managing editor of “The News with Brian Williams,” an hour-long nightly newscast on MSNBC and later CNBC. He also anchored the Saturday edition of “NBC Nightly News” before taking the place of Brokaw in 2004.]]> 2009 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/09/community-meeting-jackson-st-entertainment-district-project/ Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:43:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2017 The Downtown Voices Coalition invites the Phoenix community to learn about the Jackson St. Entertainment District project in Phoenix’s historic Warehouse District.

Chef Bernie Kantak, the man who put Cowboy Ciao on the foodie map 11 years ago, has given notice. He's headed to downtown Phoenix, where he hopes to open his new restaurant in the fall.

What kind of menu can we expect? If you've eaten at Cowboy Ciao, you know it's all over the map, with dishes ranging from curried pork belly to buffalo carpaccio. Right now, all Kantak will say about the menu is, "It will be me." That means, he adds, "creative and comforting."

A quick look over to the ASU College of Public Programs website’s live webcam of the Downtown Phoenix Civic Space park shows that the long-awaited sculpture, “Her Secret is Patience”, is being reinstalled after a couple of delays.  The park opens up this Thursday, as this blog has reported, so this makes sense.

Check out the live webcam from the Dean’s Office of the ASU College of Public Programs: http://copp.asu.edu/do/from-the-dean/civic-space

Let’s hope that the rain and weather is a good omen for this.  It’s looking interesting.

The Midtown Museum District continues to do a lot of really great things for their area. From its relatively small beginnings, Margaret and Julia have grown this organization into something to truly be reckoned with. Along with some good help and a lot of grit, determination and shoe leather they are doing what communities all over town should consider. They are reaching out and making a difference. Already, they have had an impressive  list of guest speakers at their association meetings and have made great strides in many projects. For instance, there has now been efforts and bids to create a block watch, they are looking into contacting ADOT for having Midtown Museum District Neighborhood signage at the freeways to help people come to the area, they are having social events in the area and a long list of other community related things. Keep in mind, the meeting minutes from last month show the Association’s funds stood at $134.70.

I was given permission to share information from the “minutes” of the last meeting where Vice Mayor Tom Simplot discussed aspects of light rail. One of the many topics of discussion was advertising on the light rail. According to their notes, the advertising “wraps” of the light rail cars brought essential revenue to the city during difficult financial times.

Unique Downtown Park to Celebrate Grand Opening April 16

The city of Phoenix, Arizona State University and community members will formally celebrate the grand opening of downtown’s newest park site, Downtown Civic Space Park, at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 16. The official dedication event will be part of a full day of informal activities from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. to introduce the park to the public. The park also will host live music from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 17 as part of Third Friday activities in and around downtown.

The Civic Space, nestled into 2.77 acres in the heart of downtown Phoenix in an area bounded by First and Central avenues and Van Buren and Fillmore streets, offers residents, workers, ASU students and downtown visitors a park with unique urban design, sustainable construction and operational features, and a landmark public sculpture by artist Janet Echelman.

The park, developed as a partnership between community members, the city of Phoenix and Arizona State University, utilizes sustainable design techniques to generate power, keep the area cool and capture rain water. Sustainable park features include:

Solar panels on the park’s shade structures will generate 75 kilowatts of power (enough to power 8-9 residential homes) to offset the park’s lighting and electrical needs.

Extensive shade; more than 70 percent of the park’s surface area will be shaded when its trees and vegetation reach maturity.

Hard surfaces made with pervious concrete and pavers that reduce heat reflection and allow rainfall to seep through. Water passing through the pervious concrete and pavers will enter an underground rainfall collection system that allows water not used by the park’s plants to seep naturally back into the ground.

Trees planted with a system that utilizes grates and specially engineered soils to protect roots, minimize compaction and allow ample room for root expansion.

The Civic Space also boasts historic building space. A renovated city-owned building, commonly referred to as the A.E. England building for the business formerly housed there, will offer storefront retail and food options, space for meetings, presentations, small banquets, art events, classes, offices and restrooms. Crews are still at work on building renovations, which are tentatively scheduled for completion later this year.

Arizona State University and the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department will collaborate to manage and program the building.

The project cost just over $34 million, divided roughly equally between land acquisition and design and construction, about 90 percent of which came from 2006 Parks and Historic Preservation bonds. Another 10 percent of funding came from the Phoenix Parks and Preserve Initiative.

The park has no parking spaces, encouraging pedestrian traffic from residents, students and downtown workers and visitors. Light rail stops along Central and First avenues and Central Station drop off rail and bus riders within feet of the park, encouraging use of nearby mass transit.

The park offers something for people of all ages. Interactive water and light features will delight kids, while permanent chess/checkers tables will be a gathering point for adults and children alike. Several shaded, hardscape areas of the park will be suitable sites for small concerts, performances, exhibits, movies or presentations.

Great art should evoke some sort of emotion, whether its wonder or disgust, but all the giant fish net evokes is, well, questions. Questions like: •Where's the shade? In a city that's 100+ degrees five months out of the year, why doesn't the largest structure in the newest park offer some relief from the heat? •Why does it seem it's supposed to be only viewed at night? The lights make the netting look great, but most people don't frequent parks at night, do they? •Again, shade. It's implied shade. It's hot here. How is anyone going to use a park when they are sweating in the 115 degree heat island Phoenix resides on? What do you think of it? What are some nicknames you can think of? What does the structure invoke from you?]]> 2183 0 0 0 190 0 0 198 0 0 200 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1099789078 0 62 212 200 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/15/downtown-pharmacy-set-open-cityscape-year/ Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:43:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2186 CVS Pharmacy will open a drugstore in downtown Phoenix's CityScape complex, company officials will announce Wednesday.

The 4000 square-foot retail space at 14 E Pierce St will be open five days a week and will serve as downtown Phoenix’s first local foods grocery store. The market announced Feb. 28 that they had received $305,000 in funding for the permanent store. The largest loan for $250,000 came from the Phoenix Industrial Development Authority, which aims to provide financial assistance for the community and economic development within Phoenix. Other support came from the Arizona Community Foundation, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo Bank. The market will need another $130,000 for operating costs over the next year until the store is established. “It’s part of a plan,” said Cindy Gentry, the executive director of Community Food Connections. “Our plan for this market is a 12 to 15 year plan to establish a public market here in the heart of our city, but we needed to start small and see what the supply and the demand was.” Community Food Connections, which operates the Public Market along with other programs, is committed to “increasing access to good, healthy food and helping farmers stay on the land,” Gentry said. The store will include local products such as produce, dairy, eggs, and baked goods. There will also be a wine and beer bar, a cafe, crafts, and a community meeting room. There will be products from the vendors along with other products from local and regional producers that are not available at the outdoor market. Gentry said the vendors are happy about the expansion. “A lot of them have been with us almost as long as we’ve been open,” Gentry said. “It’s kind of like a big family and I think they see it as a chance to strengthen community as well as a chance for economic development.” If the grocery store is successful, Gentry sees more expansion in the future. “By six years from now, I hope to be in a permanent facility that is about three times as big as the land we’re standing on now.” The outdoor market will still be open for its usual hours, Wednesdays from 4pm to 8pm and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm.

The Metro board voted unanimously Wednesday to reverse its no-advertisement policy and adopted a program that would be the most aggressive among new Western light-rail systems. Wednesday's vote clears Metro to solicit proposals for advertising in display cases, on floors and wrapped around the outside of trains. Ads also will be allowed on flat screens to be installed inside the trains and on new station platform kiosks. Metro is turning to ads for revenue, partly because it gets most of its operating funds from cities that are strapped for cash because of the economic downturn. Unless other sources of revenue can be found, the system could face service cuts and more fare increases.

Held from 10am to 5pm at The Anchor Manufacturing Building at 525 S. Central Ave, PCDF is a two-day event organized by About Design, LLC. to showcase the designs of international, national and local companies to anyone interested in modern design. “It’s definitely a unique show,” said Don Crossland, publisher of kontaktmag.com. “PCDF definitely has its own identity.” About 2000 guests attend the event each year. Vendors include furniture designers, interior designers, architects and home décor brands. “Everybody just kind of creates their own space,” Crossland said. Some of this year’s exhibitors include Roche Bobois, Poliform, Hinkley’s Lighting, Syteks Design, Poggen Pohl, and artist Kyle Jordre. This is the first year that the event will be at The Anchor Building. It has been held once at Monorchid Studios and twice at the Icehouse, both in downtown Phoenix. The Anchor Building, built in 1928, is used as a warehouse for R&R Surplus, a vintage clothing store. There are plans for the remainder of the space in the building, such as a cafe and an organic hot dog stand. About Design decided to have the fair despite the suffering economy. “I think now more than ever, people need to be entertained and inspired,” Crossland said. For the previous two years, PCDF advertised the fair in a simple way, presenting photographs in black and white. This year, PCDF is adding much more color. “With the creative look of the show, we’re definitely projecting something more colorful, more upbeat, more exciting,” Crossland said. kontaktmag is also preparing to launch an iPhone application which will include stories, maps to locate events, links to the web site and podcasts.

The official start of the nationwide traveling carnival of gay debauchery festivals happens right here in Phoenix (believe me, we wouldn't want to have it in July). While gays in New York and Boston are still wearing jackets over their "bad angel" and "naughty nun" outfits, Valley gays will be drinking, dancing, and validating every trite stereotype about homosexuals all weekend long. If you are sensing a touch of cynical bitterness in my voice, it is because I have avoided going to these weekend-long feasts of debauchery up until this point, but out of a sense of duty to my readers, I will be attending the festivities this weekend to provide a full report. As a kid, I saw the gay pride shockumentaries that were intended to frighten my still-malleable mind about the evils of gaydom, so in one respect I feel like I have already been to a dozen Gay Prides.

He now lives in Downtown Phoenix. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. Shapiro, an inhabitant of The Artisan Lofts on Central, loves the excitement of his “adult dorm” neighbors and their enthusiasm towards the downtown area. “When a new restaurant opens anywhere near downtown, all my neighbors know about it…and they care,” he said. Shapiro also loves the diversity. “We have young couples, gay couples, retired empty nesters, and young, single professionals. We all seem to co-exist pretty well.” Known as “Shappy” on Phoenix’s KMLE morning radio show, Shapiro worked with radio host David Pratt for eight years. He loved the country music listeners for their warmth and generosity but found the audience a little too family oriented for his edgy style and sense of humor. “At KMLE it was my job to basically tell the jokes. Which was an awesome job, but I would like to just be myself and talk the same way that I talk to my friends and be totally honest about everything that happens in my life,” Shapiro said. Shapiro currently produces Stupid Podcasts for Smart People. A podcast is a free downloadable video or audio series, similar to a TV or radio program. The show is created with his two closest friends, Thomas Bewick and Zameer Baber. “We all met while attending ASU ten years ago…I’ve wanted to work with them as long as I can remember, but in commercial radio, that was always an impossibility,” he said. The lack of restrictions is what makes the podcasts truly enjoyable for Shapiro. “We talk about everything from what really happened in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina to what really happened at the party I threw last weekend.” Their audience consists of educated, young, urban people with a sense of humor according to Shapiro.

A village of 75 people, an outside kitchen, a large mango tree overshadowing the house, a pet jaguar — this is where he grew up.

Urban and Metropolitan Studies senior Antonio Molina, 26, was raised in Honduras, two hours from the main city of San Pedro in central America.

Molina says his village wasn’t like what most picture, like little huts. His grandfather worked for a large cement company that provided housing. His grandfather was also a fisherman, carpenter and hunter. “He would come back with exotic animals from the jungle like a jaguar and a monkey,” Molina says.

The Senior Design Exhibit is the culmination of a year-long research and design application process. Students are given the option to select a track of study. Those who join InnovationSpace partner with other disciplines to research, design and develop products that serve real societal needs. Those who pursue Visual Communication select current social issues and create dynamic visual campaigns to reach their individual goals. Students pair with advocates or sponsors as they progress through the processes of independent research, campaign design, exhibit presentations, committee work and book design. While learning more about research methods and the visual display of information, students contribute to the growing body of design knowledge by producing functional, aesthetic, and compelling work. The exhibit will continue until May 14 and is located on the eighth floor of the Phoenix Urban Research Lab at 234 N.

Chicago always appeared to have hundreds of things going on downtown or in its little niche neighborhoods. It didn’t matter that I couldn’t afford to attend more than half of the events as a poor college undergrad…I was in the heart of the Windy City. Therefore it should come as no surprise I scoffed at the idea that Phoenix could ever replace my beloved Chi-town in the scope and quality of events offered. Consider this feature series my formally apology to the Valley of the Sun. Phoenix not only offers a tremendous amount of worthwhile events to attend, but a great deal of these programs advertise at everyone’s favorite price…free. Whether you are pinching pennies as a result of this unpredictable economy or have graduation looming on the horizon, this series is meant to help you enjoy Phoenix while staying within your budget. That does not mean to say Phoenix is not deserving of your well-earned dollar. Phoenix has a plethora of free events that can help you “spread the love” if you will. Catch a free movie at the Phoenix Art Museum and then spend that $20 you saved on skipping the theater for a tasty lunch at Switch or Durant’s. Impress a date with a free trip to the Gilbert Observatory and still have cash for a glass of wine at Liberty Market. Let me do the legwork for you. Be on the lookout for the “Phoenix Free” headline to view a compilation of activities offered in the Greater Phoenix area throughout the month of April. ]]> 2399 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/23/meet-alex-flamini/ Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:34:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2414 (ed note-Alex sleeps with a stuffed dinosaur named Dog, hits cute guys with frisbees and apparently isn't capable of taking normal pictures) (ed note #2-Alex was recently named employee of the month for June 2009. She went to Europe during that time. Thanks for all your hard work, Alex!) My given birth name is Alexandra Flamini, but I am more commonly known as Alex. I’m a soon-to-be sophomore at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I live in Downtown Phoenix in the ASU Residence Hall, Taylor Place. I am currently an online journalism major looking forward to studying International Media and Covering Religion and Conflict in Europe this summer. My new favorite part of Downtown Phoenix is the Civic Space Park that just opened adjacent to the Cronkite School. I love reading, picnicking, frolicking, and napping in the grass, despite the horrible allergies that ensue. Plus, there is a dancing fountain. How cool? I’m from North, North, North Scottsdale, also known as Cave Creek, and frequently return home. This is mainly so my parents can wash my dirty laundry and so I can marvel at the glorious Sonoran desert. When home, I tease my cat, bicker with my brother, and bum meals off of my parents. An alumnae of Cactus Shadows High School, I was heavily involved in the theatre and music departments and served as an editor on the school’s literary magazine and newspaper. I have aspirations to become an International Conflict Journalist. Heavy much? Yeah, I know. Against my parents’ wishes, I am actively pursuing this future career. As a first step I am looking for a place to take self-defense classes (my mother’s plea). I hope someday I can move to Chicago and/or Washington, D.C. and get a dog. I really enjoy cycling, Frisbee, words, road trips, Chinese food and cliché sunsets. My favorite flowers are daisies, and I am easily spotted sporting my classic Vans sneakers. I’m pretty laid back but am serious about my journalism. As an amateur photographer, I like to just go out and shoot for fun. My friends and I tend to get a bit innovative in our shoots. I frequent First Fridays Art Walks and would love to own a studio one day. Traveling is something else I enjoy; although, I do not like flying on airplanes. But I don’t let that hold me back. As a typical college student, I spend much of my time on Facebook and just perusing the web. Some of my favorite websites are Flickr, Sporcle, Tumblr, and Wikipedia. I shamefully check my email approximately every fifteen minutes, but hope it is good that I am pretty accessible. I’m glad you’re checking out the Downtown Phoenix Journal. Your hits make my portfolio that much more impressive! Not to mention I just think it’s cool to write for a website. Have a wonderful day. ]]> 2414 0 0 0 228 http://www.siwrites.com 0 21 226 http://fillslashstroke.com 0 0 265 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/23/phoenix-friday-nights/ Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:37:03 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2425 It’s Friday night in downtown Phoenix. So, what is there to do? That’s exactly what Tyson Crosbie wanted to find out when he started Phoenix Friday Nights (PFN), a weekly social gathering focused on community building in the downtown Phoenix area. “I’m new to Phoenix so that’s why I started it,” Crosbie said. “I wanted to learn more about what was downtown myself.” Crosbie hopes to change the view of Phoenix as a place that is “dead after dark.” PFN also focuses on supporting local businesses and the economy downtown. Crosbie hopes more businesses will learn about PFN and utilize it. But PFN was created to do more than just that. “We like supporting local businesses but really on Friday what you need is to just have a break from work, and relax and socialize,” Crosbie said. Crosbie started PFN about eight months ago after discovering a group on Twitter called Phoenix Friday Coffee (PFC), created by Sunny Thaper and Austin Baker, that goes out for coffee every Friday night. Crosbie liked the idea of PFC but it mostly took place in Chandler, which was inconvenient for him since he lived in downtown Phoenix. He tried to do PFC downtown at the same time but after it led to confusion, Crosbie changed the name to Phoenix Friday Nights and started planning his own events. Past PFN events include trips to restaurants, bars and art galleries. PFN always does an event for First Fridays but these events vary. “We might go to the museum or we might highlight a specific artist and go to their gallery,” Crosbie said. The events are generally open but will sometimes require an RSVP if the event is held in a place with limited space. Crosbie said there are about three or four people who regularly attend events but that the rest of the group, which averages about 25 people, rotates out. Crosbie does most of the event planning but welcomes the ideas of others. “Now that I have a form on the Web site, the last few events have been suggested by participants of PFN, which I appreciate greatly,” Crosbie said. The best way for people to find out what is going on each week is to visit the website, where events are usually posted on Monday afternoons. PFN also uses Twitter, Facebook, and a nationwide rating Web site called Yelp. This Friday PFN will begin the night at Carly’s Bistro for dinner from 5 to 7:30pm. Then they will head to the Eye Lounge where they have been invited for a private viewing of Eliza Gregory’s new artwork. The night will conclude with drinks at The Roosevelt. ]]> 2425 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/23/phoenix-art-museum-holds-train-tracks-quarter-finals/ Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:52:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2431 Launched as a grassroots channel for local musicians to display their talent, The Train Tracks is the most innovative outlet for live music to ever hit Phoenix. Once a week, Valley artists ranging from single performers to entire bands, rockers to opera singers, perform acoustically live on the Metro Light Rail. Their raw, uncut performances are posted to thetraintracks.org where the general public votes for their favorite. “Amazing music is being written and performed all over the Valley by extremely talented musicians,” commented Kimber Lanning, Director of local first Arizona and driving force behind SilverPlatter.info. “The Train Tracks is a weekly foray into the freshest sounds from the local music scene via Metro Light Rail and a great way to explore a thriving aspect of Phoenix’s cultural identity.” The first of four Train Tracks Quarter Finals will be held on Friday, May 1 at Phoenix Art Museum. Part of the Museum’s First Friday festivities, the top three most popular acts as voted on via thetraintracks.org will perform live and free of charge.  The winner, determined by popular vote, from each quarter final will advance the semi-finals with the ultimate prize being a slot at the 2010 Tempe Music Festival. “The first of its kind, The Train Tracks is a tremendous way to build civic pride by combining the arts with public transportation. The Train Tracks is creating a buzz about the amazing and diverse musical talent in the valley, and even better, it's all happening on our new light rail system,” commented Vice Mayor, Tom Simplot. “It’s terrific that the public has embraced this program and now has even more access to the performers via the Quarter Finals at Phoenix Art Museum.” Phoenix Art Museum offers free general admission to everyone on the first Friday of every month from 6pm to 10pm. as part of First Fridays, a program initiated by Artlink Phoenix. In addition to enjoying The Train Tracks performances and party, First Friday participants have access to all of the Museum’s galleries, special exhibitions and collections. The Train Tracks is made possible by Metro Light Rail, SilverPlatter.info, Tempe Music Festival, Havice Design, Provis Media Group, Creative Television, Phoenix New Times and Cox. Each performing musician will get one song, one take only, no exceptions. The musicians are selected from enormously different backgrounds, must perform acoustically and must reside and perform in the Greater Phoenix area. The Phoenix Art Museum is located at 1625 N.

The film will be shown for free on Sunday, April 26 at 1pm at the Whiteman Hall in the Phoenix Art Museum located at 1625 N. Central Ave. Dreamland takes a sharp but disarming approach in examining the romance of gambling, and reveals the decidedly unromantic reality. Following several full-time residents of Las Vegas over a two-year period, Dreamland shows the cityscape beyond the grandiose casino-hotels on the strip. It is a world of smaller, dingy gambling halls and countless gambling arcades that survive throughout Las Vegas. Among the locals that patronize these casinos, many struggle daily with compulsion and self-impoverishment while walking the tenuous line between dreams and denial. Lisanne Skyler is a writer and director of both fiction and nonfiction films. Lisanne's debut feature film Getting to Know You, an adaptation of three short stories by Joyce Carol Oates, co-written with her sister Tristine, played in the 1999 Sundance Film Festival Dramatic Competition and opened the 1999 Venice Film Festival Critics Week. Lisanne recently relocated from Los Angeles to Tucson to teach filmmaking at the University of Arizona. She will attend the screening and do a Q and A following the presentation.

The free walking tour — part of an international annual event commemorating the birthday of renowned urban activist Jane Jacobs, who died in 2006 — will take place between 9:00 and 11:00 am. It will start, and end, at Portland Park on First Avenue and Portland Street (next to the Roosevelt and Central light rail station).

Jane’s Walk is a “street-level celebration” of Jacobs’ legacy and ideas, combining the simple act of walking with personal observations, urban history and local lore as a means of knitting people together into a strong and resourceful community through bottom-up approaches and neighborhood involvement.

Jacobs was an urbanist and activist whose writings championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building. She had no formal training as a planner, yet wrote what many consider to be the ‘bible’ of urban planning. Her 1961 treatise, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, introduced groundbreaking ideas about how cities function, evolve and fail — concepts that are now common sense to generations of architects, planners, politicians and activists. Jacobs championed the interests and knowledge of local residents and pedestrians over a centralized, car-centered approach to planning. She also promoted refurbishing old buildings instead of tearing them down and building new ones, and demonstrated the desirability of increasing the density of cities instead of sprawling endlessly outward.

Cities across Canada, the U.S. and India will also host Jane’s Walks the first weekend in May. This is the third consecutive year of Jane’s Walks in North America. So far, the walks have occurred in Toronto and New York in 2007, and in Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Salt Lake City in 2008. This year, the walks have spread to 41 cities, including two in India. Several cities are host to multiple walks.  You don’t have to be familiar with Jacobs’ work to walk. The event is intended to be fun and participatory - everyone has a story and they’re usually keen to share it. Whether you’re a local activist, resident, business owner, politician, preservationist, or simply a citizen who loves your community, participating in Jane’s Walk Phoenix is a great way to celebrate the reemergence of downtown Phoenix as a vital urban hub, and to honor Jacobs’ legacy.

Jane’s Walk USA is managed by the Center for the Living City, a non-profit organization operating out of the University of Utah’s Department of City & Metropolitan Planning. The Center for the Living City is linked in spirit and purpose with its sister  organization, The Centre for City Ecology in Toronto.

I am a freshman at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University where I am studying, well, journalism. I live on campus in the Taylor Place dorms. There is a Starbucks one story below me where I often order a tall Light Blended Mocha with a pump of peppermint syrup, and the Cronkite School is my next door neighbor. If that doesn’t sound convenient enough, this certainly will. Since my parents live about 25 minutes away from me, my mom regularly brings me groceries and laundry money, and takes me out to lunch. It sounds like I’ve got it made but, believe it or not, I’ve got a lot on my plate. I spend a large portion of my time studying and consider school a top priority. I am a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the Cronkite Village Residential College. I was also a member of the Fashion Journalism Club and I played intramural soccer. Of course I can’t forget that I write for the Downtown Phoenix Journal, because of which I am awake at 1am writing this biography. It’s a good thing I have an ice cold, caffeine-infused Diet Pepsi by my side. Although the education I am getting in my classes is very valuable to me, the DPJ gives me the experience I want and need to become a journalist. I have lived in Phoenix my entire life but never in the city. When I first found out that the Cronkite School was moving from Tempe to downtown Phoenix, I was afraid I would be isolated from the university and that there would be nothing for me to do when I wasn’t in class. This was true, at first. But after living in the heart of downtown Phoenix for over eight months, I treasure everything that makes this city unique. I’m proud to be able to watch it grow and write about it for the DPJ. When I have free time, I enjoy playing soccer, traveling, attending concerts, taking pictures, going out to eat, watching movies, and reading fiction novels. ]]> 2409 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/05/01/art-detour-revamped/ Fri, 01 May 2009 15:47:38 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2448 Artlink, organizers of First Friday and Art Detour. “This was the first year that the Web 2.0 universe — Twitter, Facebook — was just going crazy for First Friday and Saturday night parties,” Burwell says. “First Friday was packed. It was dead on Saturday, but the parties Saturday night were packed, and the buyers came out on Sunday.” Overall, Burwell claims that sales were actually up in 2009 compared to previous Detours, and it reported the biggest First Friday turnout ever, near 30,000 attendees. “Art Detour needs to morph and change. We have First Fridays and Third Fridays, and people say, ‘Why do I need to come out to Art Detour?’ That’s a fair question.” Ideas are vague for the time being, but Artlink is toying with adding restaurant participation and a strong live music element to the 2010 incarnation. More than anything, Burwell wants to bring the focus back to fine art. “Artlink has gotten critiques from many members that First Friday is a party, not an arts event anymore,” Burwell says. “It’s kind of hard to argue with that. I love that it’s thematically themed with art, but that doesn’t help spaces stay open.” One big critique is that Artlink hasn’t collaborated enough with like-minded organizations such as Roosevelt Row and art institutions like the Heard Museum. “I’m glad that I’m able to explain,” Burwell says. “Museums can’t be involved in Art Detour because it has to be a free event. Anytime there’s a free event at a museum, someone has to pay for people going in the door. They do that through corporate sponsors. For groups like the Heard or the Art Museum to have two more free days on top of First Friday, it doesn’t work for them. There’s not enough cash in the nonprofit sector.” Burwell says neighborhood organizations like Roosevelt Row and 7th Avenue Merchants Association are close confidants, though they don’t work in tandem. Artlink members own space on Roosevelt Row and the organization provided shuttles for the 7th Avenue street festival that coincided with Art Detour. “We’re hoping next year [7th Avenue Merchants] doesn’t want to do the same weekend,” Burwell says. “It really hurt our Saturday.” Burwell says the Heard Museum’s art festival that weekend, a paid event, catered to a different clientele and wasn’t competition. On the flipside, Artlink is working with the Visitors and Convention Bureau and the State of Downtown Projects to really push the idea that Phoenix is an arts hotspot. Burwell hopes to garner national attention to Art Detour and make it into a destination event for out-of-towners. “It would be so much easier if we could all work full time on Art Detour, but we’re all volunteers,” Burwell says of the Artlink staff. “Cities have big art fairs, and people fly in for them, and there’s no reason that can’t happen here.” Still, Burwell is encouraged by downtown’s growth, and the growth of Art Detour.  She says that attendees use the Detour weekend to venture to galleries and areas they don’t normally see on First Fridays. With well over 10,000 attendees, she feels the foundation is solid. She cites needs down the line: an Artlink gallery, its own shows, a full-time director and an educational component. Burwell wants to see Artlink-sponsored scholarships to both artists and schools. In the end, it comes down to the clientele: “We love the fact that Phoenix has a great art reputation, but people need to buy art,” Burwell says. “If you own a gallery or a shop, you shouldn’t have to work 17 jobs to survive. That’s one of the goals — start buying!” [gallery] ]]> 2448 0 0 0 1382 http://sentrock.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/04/25/pcdf-pictures/ Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:23:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2477 Everyone loves a good party.

The free exhibit will be open until May 30 but only by appointment. Shoot for the STARS is a program designed to teach the joys of photography to adults with disabilities. Offered through STARS (Scottsdale Training and Rehabilitation Services), the program teaches participants to see beyond their immediate selves by looking through a camera and focusing their attention on people and objects around them. Valley photographer Mark W. Lipczynski founded the program, which is now in its third year. Each fall, six participants take part in the 12-week program in which they use digital point-and-shoot cameras to document their surroundings. At the end of the program, a photo exhibit of their work is displayed wherever gallery space is available in the greater Phoenix area. The work is not for sale, but is meant for the public to gain perspective through the eyes of people with disabilities. It is also intended to showcase the tremendous ability of each participant. This year, Release the Fear Inc., an organization whose mission is to spread empathy and understanding through the creative process, has contributed space at Grace Chapel for the Shoot for the STARS exhibit. The chapel is located at 302 W. Monroe St. It is Lipczynski's vision to see Shoot for the STARS exhibited Valleywide throughout the year to gain maximum exposure for STARS and all people with disabilities. To schedule a viewing, call 480-588-7426.

People waited in line during the wee hours of the morning just to get free tickets to the showing. What does this event say to me? People need more free movies. Have no fear – Free Phoenix is here. When looking for free movies, it's best to start with local museums. The Phoenix Art Museum not only shows classic films that are open and free to the public throughout the year, but also has a partnership with No Festival Required. No Festival Required seeks to bring thoughtful and provocative cinema from local, national and international filmmakers to the Phoenix area, often hosting short films and festivals in the museum’s Whiteman Hall Auditorium. Upcoming events included a showing of The Cats of Mirikitani, a documentary film by Linda Hattendorf, on Sunday, May 24 at 1pm. Perhaps you feel that sitting inside a freezing theater in the middle of an Arizona summer is a waste of the outdoors. If so, check out some of the parks in and around Phoenix. Biltmore Fashion Park offers movies each Friday until May 8 on its center lawn. Movies start at 7:30pm. The newly opened Downtown Civic Space will also host an outdoor movie night on Saturday, May 2 at 7:30pm, featuring the movie WALL-E and treats for viewers. Changing Hands Bookstore seeks to appease both the music and movie lover in one fell swoop. The Tempe landmark hosts a Community Movie night once a month at 6pm, featuring music documentaries. On May 22, Changing Hands will show I Am Trying To Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco. Music lovers can even finish the night off by purchasing an album next door at Hoodlums Music & Movies. Still need more ideas on where to mooch a movie? Check out your local library for programs. Popular movies are often shown at community colleges or at one of the many Arizona State University campuses as well.

Hildebrant is the Principle Partner of the Phoenix branding company, Ovo. “We utilize things like design, and advertising, marketing, and interactive design all from like a branding perspective,” he explained. Their approach is very holistic. “We have a franchise of spas we work with and they came to us with a concept and we helped them modify and refine. We named them and developed the identity for the company and we do ongoing advertising and we help with the way they answer phones or the way the spa smells. It’s just the entire experience.” The company’s name is more than just a palindrome. “It literally translates to the word egg or it means the birth of or the beginning of. Which ties into the branding aspect of what we do,” Hildebrant explained. Nearly 70% of Ovo’s clients are from out-of-state. Through the Google Ads, direct mail campaigns, and community networking through social media, Ovo reaches further than the Phoenix area. Hildebrant recently began bike commuting on a Novara Fusion hybrid. “It’s been easy for me because we found an office and I located myself close. I can ride there in about the same time as a car in traffic.” Hildebrant describes himself as an outdoors kind of guy. “There is something cool about powering your own accord versus driving a car. I am by no means a severe environmentalist, but you know,” he said. His new commuting has also given him a chance to take a new look at Phoenix. “Once you start biking around town, you have a whole new perspective of the city.” Once the summer heat starts, he said he will be going back to the car. He has lived in almost every part of the Valley, but Phoenix’s “cool vibe” offers a bit more. “The mindset of people down here is more culturally sensitive. You see a lot more people with a desire to be part of a community and with a more progressive lifestyle.” The Roosevelt is one of his favorite restaurants in the area. Hildebrant feels it reflects the city well. “There’s more of a community vibe there. Phoenix is a big city with a small community.” ]]> Ovo. “We utilize things like design, and advertising, marketing, and interactive design all from like a branding perspective,” he explained. ]]> 2595 0 0 0 405 http://www.phoenixdowntownjournal.com/2009/05/08/pickle/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/05/05/surplus-public-auction-set-16/ Wed, 06 May 2009 05:28:33 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2603 City of Phoenix Looking for a riding lawn mower, garbage truck, school bus or fire truck?

But downtown Phoenix’s newest restaurant, Local Breeze, is hoping to get off to an under-the-radar start this weekend. It’s the work of Sid Campbell, 47, who spent 12 years cooking at Pischke’s Paradise in Scottsdale. He left more than a decade ago to become what he calls “Mr. Mom.” So why is he going back into the restaurant business in such a tough economy? “My wife wants to go to medical school,” he says with a laugh. He describes the Local Breeze fare as “hearty comfort food,” and judging from the menu, that description seems apt. There are salads ($8 -$14), sandwiches and burgers ($8-$10) and shareable munchies like fish tacos ($10), firecracker shrimp ($12) and lahvosh pizza topped with roasted corn, bacon and tomato ($16).

Well, sorta. They're officially open on Monday, but they opened the doors to us kind neighborhood folks last night in test run, and I must say, the results were surprisingly smooth. Yes, they have a liquor license. Yes, the food is just as good as the fare at Pischke's. Yes, it still is the old Cavness House, just less cluttered and slightly more Bahamian. All of these things make this place good. Sure, they have a lot of kinks to work out, but they're on the right track. First things first: They seem to give a heavy pour on the liquor, but are quite stingy about their wines. Perhaps those that follow me should recommend a heavier hand on the vino. Second, the food is quality stuff. Think Pischke's, but updated. I had the Olive Lavosh with fresh tomatoes, olives and Queen Creek Olive Oil. Their appetizer menu is chock full of the lavoshes, and they don't disappoint. Then I followed it up with the Fire Island, a Pischke's classic, and it is still at the top of its game. Get it with a poached egg on top to mix with the peppery chicken, creamy sauce and veggies. This one packs a good punch spicewise, so be aware. Also be aware that those this is the old Cavness House, built in 1914, and we're in downtown Phoenix, it kind of seems like Key West when you walk inside. Gone are the days of the cluttered antiques and strange pieces of junk that filled Palatte. The inside is airy, clean and very simplistic. They may have knocked down a wall or two... I can't really tell. Thankfully, they left the bathrooms completely intact — the stall in the men's room still looks like a rusted out side of a steam engine. Well done. Things that weren't so good: They service was understandably a bit lacking. But damn, they need to photocopy more than one "unofficial" wine list for the evening. Our waiter had to continually return to claim it, only to bring it back later with someone else's grubby prints all over it. Most of the wait staff hadn't tried half of the menu items, which is sort of ridiculous, but hopefully that will change quickly. I also feel like the outside patio area lost a bit of its flair from the Palatte days. It's all stucco-y and less ancient. Perhaps it fits in with the loose island theme. I'd definitely recommend everyone checks this place out, but give it a few weeks to work out the kinks. The outside area is still great for brunch and dinners after the sun sets. I'm hoping they really do integrate the live music thing that Palatte kind of hinted at. It'd be nice to use that courtyard effectively. Local Breeze is located at 606 N 4th Ave, on the corner of 4th Ave and Fillmore (light rail station at Van Buren or Roosevelt).]]> 2643 0 0 0 416 http://twitter.com/vettieroeortwitter.com/phoenixmetrobus 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/05/11/lola-coffee-open-awesome/ Tue, 12 May 2009 03:50:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2646 Lola Tapas and Lola Roastery have packed up their espresso beans and moved a few blocks west to open Lola Coffee.

Turner, a 44-year-old dodge ball enthusiast, has an idea or two of what he would include in his personal guide to living in Downtown Phoenix. A trip to Portland, Oregon, taught Turner that it was possible not to drive a car everywhere you had to go. “Portland is a sprawling city like Phoenix,” he explained. “It took me a while to figure out that if I wanted to get a cup of coffee at Circle K, it’s only a hundred yards. But my first instinct is to get in my car and go over there.” Turner shared a useful website for people who are looking to ditch their cars. Walkscore.com provides a score of 1-100 for the area surrounding any address. A score of 90-100 is a “walker’s paradise” and a score of 0-49 deems an area as “car-dependent.” Downtown Phoenix earned a 97. One of Turner’s favorite things about Downtown Phoenix is that, despite the rough economy, new restaurants continue to open in the area and the old ones don’t close down. A new trio of restaurants has recently opened at McKinley and 1st Streets. Sens serves Asian cuisine, Turf is a new Irish pub, and the Pasta Bar, although hidden between its neighbors, offers a variety of pasta options. When it comes to restaurants, Turner advises to keep your eyes open. “You can drive right past a lot of them. You look for all the massive signs. But here, some restaurants have no signs,” he shared. Places like The Roosevelt and Cibo are hidden treasures of Phoenix. For those looking for a little weekend action, Turner recommends checking out PhoenixFridayNights.com. The site features the East and West Valleys in addition to Downtown Phoenix happenings. “You don’t want to drive to Scottsdale on a Friday afternoon for happy hour because of traffic; but if people want to come join us down here, there is no traffic coming downtown on Friday afternoon, it’s all leaving so it’s really nice for people who want to come check it out,” he said. If you are new to Downtown Phoenix and feeling alone, Turner even has a tip for that: “talk to people.” Turner describes Phoenix inhabitants as outrageously friendly. “So many things down here are family-owned. Everyone knows you are, what your drink is,” he shared. “It’s a very small town feel.” Turner lives in a 1919 Bungalow off of Portland and frequently plays with AZ Dodgeball. ]]> 2715 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/05/21/meet-greet-mystery-science-theater-3000-crew/ Thu, 21 May 2009 21:20:30 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2727 Phoenix fans of the cult hit television show, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), should prepare to be overwhelmed. Cinematic Titanic, the masters of movie riffing of former MST3K fame, will be on hand tomorrow at Hoodlums Music & Movies in Tempe to meet and great fans, as well as sign copies of their new DVD. Mystery Science Theater 3000 ran from 1988 to 1999 and is the brainchild of creator Joel Hodgeson. The show featured a man and his robot friends that were stranded in spaced and forced to watch horrible movies. To keep them entertained during these terrible films, the man and his robots comment on the film’s flaws, also known as “riffing”. Like MST3K, Cinematic Titanic was created by Joel Hodgeson and continues the tradition of exploiting horrible and cheesy B-movies to their fan’s delight. The troupe is in town to perform their live show at the Mesa Arts Center on Friday, May 22 and Saturday, May 23, 2009. Fans can grab a copy of the new Cinematic Titanic DVD, as well as shirts and posters and have them signed. The entire cast will be on hand, including everyone’s favorite robots Tom Servo and Crow. Hoodlums' owner Steve Wiley suggests fans come early, as there are many “MSties”, in the Phoenix area. “Three of my staff have already rsvp-ed on Facebook,” said Wiley. “Compared to my staff. I am nowhere near the level of geeked-out.” For more information about the meet and greet, visit Hoodlums’ web site.

Mark Klett, a Regents Professor at Arizona State University, and Byron Wolfe, a former student of Klett's who is now a Lantis' University Professor teaches at California State University at Chico, have been interested in rephotographing historic images since their collaboration began in 1997. Now the pair combines their own color photographs with imagery by 19th-century photographer J. K. Hillers and artist William Holmes and by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, who worked at the Canyon in the early 20th century. Klett and Wolfe respond to the historic images and the Canyon itself, yielding artworks that reconsider an icon, challenge how people perceive the land, and bring a new perspective to its portrayals. The gallery opened at the Phoenix Art Museum on March 21 and will continue until September 6. The Phoenix Art Museum is located at 1625 N. Central Ave.

Blumenschein, an exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum, will close on Sunday, June 14.

Phoenix Art Museum celebrates the career of one of the most successful American artists of the early 20th century with the opening of the exhibit. A founder of the famed Taos Society of Artists, Blumenschein rocketed into the spotlight with his modernist approach to capturing the American West. This major retrospective, which opened on March 15, covers every aspect of the artist’s career and is the first Blumenschein exhibition in 30 years and the first in Arizona. The exhibition follows Blumenschein’s life, tracking the artistic, social and political dimensions of his art. It features his major landscape and figural paintings of the Southwest, for which he is best known today, as well as early works from the beginning of his career when he worked in France and as a professional illustrator. As Blumenschein developed as an artist, he also formed a stance on social issues that included pictorial testimonials of the cultural identity of the native people of Taos and respect for their lands. Blumenschein landed in Taos, New Mexico, as the result of a fortunate accident. He was traveling with fellow artist Bert G. Phillips on a sketching trip from Denver to northern Mexico when a wheel of their carriage broke, leaving them stranded in Taos Valley. The delay gave the artists time to take in the spectacular countryside and interesting cultures of the area. They decided to stay and work in the area, later founding the Taos Society of Artists to promote the splendor of Taos and the art of the American West to larger audiences. Academically trained in New York and Paris, Blumenschein painted in a style that combined traditional and realistic means of expression with subtle undercurrents of modernism, particularly in his bold use of color and the manner in which he constructed his compositions. In addition to founding the Taos Society of Artists, Blumenschein’s interests in modernism also led him to establish the New Mexico Painters, one of the region’s earliest groups of modernist painters. At the height of his career, he was one of the few artists to have paintings purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

It may not be Ben Stiller and a T-Rex skeleton, but the Phoenix Art Museum is mixing up First Friday with some interesting activities this Friday evening, June 5, 2009. Located in downtown Phoenix along Central Ave. and the light rail line, the Phoenix Art Museum opens its doors to the public each month as part of the First Friday Art Walk, hosted by ArtLink. From 6-10 p.m., visitors can peruse the museum for free. Voluntary donations are accepted as well. This month, First Friday visitors can participate in weaving activities from 7 - 9 p.m. Medium-sized looms will be set up at several locations throughout the museum as community looms. Volunteers will be on hand with various materials, not just yarn, that guests can add to the different looms. Visitors interested in creating their own weaving can head to the orientation room to make a small weaving of their choosing or add to the large community loom. There is no sign-up to participate, just show up! A great activity for art lovers of any age that love to create.

A union of art and engineering, the sculpture’s steel supports in 2008 received the Excellence in Structural Engineering Award from the Arizona Structural Engineers Association. The award preceded the sculpture’s installation in March. Artist Janet Echelman designed the piece, titled “Her secret is patience,” to move in the wind and capture changing desert light. The kinetic sculpture is made from specially designed flexible netting suspended 38 feet above the ground on a framework of steel rings, cables and poles. The piece rises to an overall height of about 100 feet and spans 100 feet at the top. Specialized lighting gives the work an extraordinary glowing presence at night. The upcoming forum will answer questions about how the sculpture was designed, what natural forces had to be considered in creating and engineering the artwork and what problems were overcome to design, build and install it. The forum will include presentations by Kyle Peyton, who led the CAID Industries team that engineered and fabricated the sculpture, and Allan Ortega of M-3 Engineering, which designed the artwork’s award-winning steel and cable supports. Ian Keough of Buro Happold, which developed the netting’s complex architecture, will discuss the natural forces of gravity and wind that the net’s distinctive geometry of mesh and knotting were designed to withstand and the digital modeling that was created to produce the artwork. The event is open to the public but RSVP’s are requested. Call 602-495-0185 or send an e-mail to raphael.ngotie@phoenix.gov. The discussion is sponsored by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program.

Attention shoppers! The first grocery store to open in downtown Phoenix in nearly 30 years is taking shape. On a recent afternoon, a crew worked on plumbing and electrical systems for the 2,000-square-foot store, which is expected to open sometime in August. Soon they will bring in refrigerated cases, ovens and other kitchen equipment, said Alan McLaughlin, the store's general manager. "We will source everything local," he said, including meat, milk and cheese. "This will be a hangout place in the neighborhood." The $475,000 project is an offshoot of the popular, biweekly Phoenix Public Market, which is run by the non-profit Community Food Connections.

A self-employed project manager for web projects, Martinez’s passion for baseball began with weekend games with his father. During the week, his Martinez’s dad had a long commute to and from work, so going to baseball games became their time to hang out. After his bedtime, Martinez would sneak into the living room and hook up his earphones to the TV to quietly watch late night baseball games. When he and his family moved to Arizona, he would bike to spring training games in Scottsdale. The same zeal for the game has become a blog that Martinez attempts to keep unbiased. With baseball games nearly eleven months of the year, there is never a shortage of material. “I saw it as an opportunity to give fans like myself information from another fan’s perspective,” he said. His website, www.azhardball.com, covers the sport during all seasons in the Phoenix area. “No one was taking advantage of the fact that Arizona has baseball all year round,” Martinez said. During the regular season, Martinez splits Arizona Diamondbacks club level tickets with his father. He had a press pass until December and hopes a recent e-mail from the Diamondbacks means the stadium will give press access to bloggers. Soon after the World Series ends, fall season begins. Fall training is tryouts for spring training, which is tryouts for the Major Leagues, Martinez said. The season is Phoenix’s best kept secret, Martinez said. Tickets for fall games are between $5 and $6, he said, and fans can sit anywhere in the stadiums. “It’s really cool,” Martinez said. “That’s eight reallys.” Last spring, the As, Giants, Brewers, Mariners, Padres, Rangers, Royals, Dodgers, White Sox, Indians, Angels, Cubs and Diamondbacks all trained in Arizona. Martinez and an additional writer or two covered eight or more games a day during spring training. “When spring training ended, it was a load off my shoulder,” Martinez said. “It makes the fun blog more like work.” Follow Paul.

The three-block $900 million project will bring shops, offices, restaurants, a grocery store and a pharmacy to downtown Phoenix, the developer says. When it's complete, CityScape will stretch from First Avenue to Second Street and from Washington Street to Jefferson Street in downtown Phoenix. The office tower is expected to top out - reach its highest point - around July 15, officials say. "We are getting a floor and half (of windows) up a week," said Brent Leif construction manager at Hunt Construction Group. "We are right where we want to be." Crews recently assembled a third tower crane on the site, which will help build a garage and, later, part of the hotel, Leif added. In 2011, the San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants chain plans to open Hotel Palomar, which will include about 165 condos. The 29-story building will have two levels of shops, 10 hotel floors and 17 floors of residential space, said Jeff Moloznik, development manager for RED Development, the project's developer.

An acclaimed Scottsdale chef and his partners have finalized a deal for a five-restaurant complex. Bernie Kantak, who for a decade has kept Cowboy Ciao in the foodie spotlight, will house his one-of-a-kind restaurants at 246 S. First St., on the northwestern corner of Jackson Street. Why downtown? He's attracted by lower rents — about half of what he would pay in Old Town Scottsdale, Kantak says — as well as the belief that the area is poised to flourish when the economy turns around. For more than two decades, Phoenix has been trying to get real nightlife in the heart of the city, and a critical restaurant mass may finally be developing. Kantak joins two other high-profile chefs who have recently located downtown. Wade Moises left Sassi, a high-end Scottsdale Italian restaurant, to open the Pasta Bar, and Matt Carter (Zinc Bistro, the Mission), is widening his scope with Nine05, a modern Asian restaurant, and Canteen, a gastropub.

According to multiple sources, the management has narrowed the prospective locations to a few different places. Although all three of the locations have not been officially confirmed, one of which is a parcel of land on the Salt River Reservation. It is not news that Spring Training brings monumental amounts of tourism to the Valley of the Sun and the City of Scottsdale appears to be backing the D-Backs move to the reservation. A couple of the other speculated locations are in Phoenix. Although, not downtown it would be wonderful to see the team stay local. With all of the development going on in the city, it would be a financial benefit to the city itself having the team within Phoenix city boundaries. From a strategy standpoint, having the team in the Phoenix metro area would potentially attract even more fans. Both fans that have been unable to make it to Tucson in the past and those that will already be here to see some of the other Spring Training action. Spring Training brings in over 300MM do the Arizona economy, each year, since 2007. With the recent improvements to the Valley Metro transportation system, there remains progress to be made. However, another point that may need to be addressed is the fact that there is extremely little public transportation that services the reservation, if at all. Currently the closest routes to the reservation are the three that service Scottsdale Community College. The huge financial benefits are enough to make any city council position themselves for a piece of the revenue that Spring Baseball brings in. (ed note-the D-Backs have confirmed they will be leaving Tucson after the 2010 spring training season)]]> 2895 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/06/12/meet-curtis-miller/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:29:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2919 In a world where access to data is constantly available, Curtis Miller’s company helps startup Phoenix businesses with web development. Flatterline, the three-month old company co-founded with Chris Chandler, helps clients reach goals such as customer expansion through creating iPhone applications or Twitter accounts. One client, Hylo, seeks to offer hyperlocalized information about deals and events, especially through mobile devises. If a Hylo user were in Tempe, the application would determine the user’s location and what was going on around him. In addition to developing their new company, the duo also seeks to foster other startup businesses in Phoenix. “Part of the goal with Flatterline is to help foster the startup community by having events and participating in other events,” Miller said. “Some things focus on technology or are just for designers or just for photographers … but there hasn’t been a lot done in the entrepreneurial space, so we’re attempting to help there.” To form connections between entrepreneurs and investors, Miller brought Open Coffee, a laid-back networking concept started in London, to downtown Phoenix. The weekly coffee shop meetings demystify investment and act as a forum for startup businesses. “Entrepreneurs always looked at investors as scary people to approach,” Miller said. “What they wanted to do was open an informal dialogue over coffee to show that, hey, we’re people like you.” Open Coffee has consistently strong turnouts, Miller said, only six weeks since its Phoenix conception. He also hopes to initiate Startup Drinks, a similar, after-hours get together. Like Open Coffee, Startup Drinks would be held in downtown Phoenix at independent businesses, not commercial chains, since members are interested in the effort to revitalize downtown Phoenix. “People go to Tempe a lot to do things or have events there,” Miller said. “So we’re trying to be sure our events assist the downtown vitalization effort.” Miller earned his Masters in computer science from California State University—Fullerton in 2006, and then worked as a software engineer for Raytheon. He later worked as a developer with Chandler at a startup Web application company. But now, working to build the startup community in Phoenix with Flatterline, Miller is doing exactly what he wants to be doing.

So, by now some of you may have read that I am a bit of a baseball geek. I know that I am not the only one but I do spend a ton of time scoping out what is going on in and around Chase Field. This weekend was no exception. Earlier this week my Dad and I received a phone call from our Diamondbacks ticket rep. She was asking what we were doing on Saturday. My Dad told her that we had no plans and proceeded to call me and let me know that we had just scored some pretty awesome seats. As long time baseball fans, my Father and I were excited to be able to share the experience. From time to time, the Diamondbacks Season Ticket Sales Staff holds events for the fans to experience more of Chase Field. I was sure that the current performance of the team may have had something to do with it. Apparently it is something that the sales team does quite frequently. So, where were the seats? Not behind the plate but in the Owner’s Suite. I am not sure about my Dad but, I felt like a total kid again. A special thank you goes out to the Arizona Diamondbacks and their sales staff.]]> 2932 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/06/15/big-melty-cupcake-sun/ Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:30:40 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=2934 Children's Museum of Phoenix on Saturday, June 20, as children (and parents, and curious cupcake lovers young and old) congregate around a rather large cupcake to decorate it however they see fit.

It is bound to be a sticky and delicious affair. Plus, where else can you see a gigantic cupcake in downtown Phoenix on a Saturday afternoon?

Nevermind the bands that played (more on that in a minute), this now weekly event is the place for twentysomethings to let loose is half-naked reckless abandonment, and if the crowd from the first weekend is any indication, this thing is catching on fast. The rooftop pool was full of boozin', cruisin' for digits and generally (sometimes frighteningly) loud people dancing in some very unconventional fashions. Local bands Hooves, Art for Starters and Wizards of Time helped de-sober the crowd, but by the time headliner Dear and the Headlights (or Drunk and the Headlights, as they proclaimed) took the... er... pool deck, everyone was in a very social state of mind. By the end, half the crowd commandeered microphones to sing along, people from overlooking hotel rooms were cracking open their windows to get a listen and the stuffy lobby bar was emptied in anticipation for a booze-soaked encore.

It explores the work of a young generation of artists working today after the initial social struggles of the Chicano movement, a larger political and cultural movement that in the late 1960s and early 1970s began campaigning for justice and equality for Americans of Mexican and Latin American heritage. This exhibition explores the current experimental tendencies of this younger generation of American artists with cultural ties to Mexico and Latin America. The art works are oriented less toward traditional media of painting or sculpture and declarative polemical assertion than toward conceptual art, performance, media-based art, and "stealthy" artistic interventions in urban spaces. Organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and traveling to five museums in the United States and Mexico, the exhibition includes 120 works by 32 artists in all media: painting and sculpture as well as installation, video, performance, and mixed-media works using film, digital, and sound. A partial list of artists includes the seminal LA-based Chicano art collective Asco; conceptual artist Ruben Ochoa, sculptor Margarita Cabera; photographer Christina Fernandez; performance artist Mario Ybarra Jr.; and Nicola López, who creates dramatic drawing and sculptural installations. The exhibit closes on September 21. The Phoenix Art Museum is located at 1625 N. Central Ave. For more information, visit www.phxart.org or call 602-257-1880]]> 2839 0 0 0 590 http://www.elchucotimes.com/posts-about-la-raza-as-of-july-1-2009.html 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/06/24/sutra-midtown-yoga-introduces-yoga-fusion/ Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:02:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3027 Bob Marley and yoga? What about throwing in a little Jackie Chan? Or maybe a dose of Barishnicoff?  There’s a whole new way to practice yoga in Downtown Phoenix - or make that a host of new ways - and they’re all under one funky roof at SuTRA Midtown Yoga, 2317 N. 7th St. Think: Ballet Yoga, Kung Fu Yoga, Rhythmic Funk, Reggae Fridays, the Nooner, and the Community Jukebox. “We wanted to make yoga more exciting and introduce some creative funk,” says Matthew Fritz, co-owner with wife Rebecca, of SuTRA. “We wanted to liberate yoga from all the rigid rules, strict poses and preconceived notions that can make yoga so blah, even for people who’ve practiced yoga for years.” Despite the challenging economy, the Fritzes have realized their long-time dream of opening their own studio, in a historic converted factory building on the edge of the Historic Coronado Neighborhood in Midtown’s Sheridan Square, alongside great neighbors like Lisa g’s Wine Bar, Drip Coffee Lounge, The Art of Soup and Trente-Cinq. “We are all aware of the long list of yoga’s benefits – but pair those benefits with various forms of movement, such as martial arts, dance, fitness, and rhythm, and you have just created one of the most productive, high energy, enjoyable workouts in the city”, says Rebecca, who’s innovations have earned her a reputation as the “Mad Scientist” of yoga in Phoenix. The results, SuTRA’s signature Yoga Fusions, provide a workout experience unlike any other. Combining classic yoga with alternative ideas gives participants not only get a chance to shake up their yoga routine, but also a chance to explore a new form of yoga fitness packed with flavor while ignoring limitations. “A lot of people are feeling stressed in this economy right now,” says Matthew. “And yoga has been proven to be a great way to deal with stress. But it can add to your stress to practice yoga at a studio that’s all about ‘lookie, lookie at how good I am at yoga.” At SuTRA, we’ve changed all that.”It’s about ‘keeping it real,' setting intentions and having fun, working hard and feeling good.” “Yoga is a living, breathing, evolving practice,” adds Rebecca. “There’s no right way; there’s no wrong way - there’s only your way.” Come find your Groove at SuTRA, where the intention is not to push the boundaries of yoga, but rather to tear those boundaries down completely.

The three minutes of screentime that Bale and Depp share are brilliant, but sadly they cannot save the remaining two hours and 17 minutes of this clunky misfire of a film. The first hour and a half of the movie is a poorly-edited series of events that aren't particularly well-linked. There was just enough of each vignette to leave you wondering what was going on, before the film whisked you off to yet another seemingly-unrelated scene. I'm not sure whether to blame the poor pacing on the writing or the directing, or both, but the first two-thirds of the movie is awkward and unwieldy. The last half hour of the film finally picks up its stride as it builds to the climactic scene. Here, director Michael Mann seems to finally exercise good judgment, moving through the story at exactly the right speed, telling the audience just the right amount of information about what is happening, and letting the actors shine. Unfortunately, you are left wondering if it was worth the bumpy road that you had to drive on to get to this destination. Much has been said about Marion Cotillard's appearance in the film as Billie Frechette. While she physically fits the part, her trite portrayal of the faithful lover leaves a lot to be desired. She does not show any complexity or depth of character; instead she portrays a comic-book like damsel in distress with no will of her own. Her accent was also quite distracting. I find it difficult to believe that a young woman who grew up in Wisconsin would speak with a rhotic "R". A highlight of the film was Billy Crudup's eerie portrayal of a youthful J. Edgar Hoover. He gets just the right blend of PR showman, megalomaniac, and creepy uncle. Visually, the film was well constructed. The lighting cast a sepia haze on the action that was very 1934-appropriate and the slight jerkiness of the action sequences brought them to life. Unfortunately, mechanics of the filmmaking and the brilliance of the two stars could not compensate for the poor script and even worse storytelling. I understand, you will probably go to this movie, and Depp will probably get a Best Actor nomination for his performance, but don't rush to see this film...you're not missing much.]]> 3105 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/03/stay-late-light-rail/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:35:31 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3115 From Rail Life:

Metro light rail is extending the hours of operation for Friday and Saturday nights to help those that do not want to worry about missing the last train when dining out, attending a show or just having some fun. “Early” hours have been an issue for many people since light rail began running this past December. While Metro has promised to help people get home from Diamondbacks games and from other major events throughout the year, many are hesitant to take light rail to concerts, Art walks, Mill Avenue, Downtown events, etc. for fear of missing the last train or because they don’t want to have to try timing their evening around an early “curfew.”

There’s a decent chance you may have even recognized one or two of them as the masterminds behind some of the Valley’s best restaurants. This was the first incarnation of the downtown chef crawl, and it kicked off with a glorious mix of late-night noshing, old-fashioned exploration and drinks, drinks and more drinks. The schemer behind this voyage is Chef Christopher Gross of Christopher’s and Crush Lounge at the Biltmore. Having previously explored downtown’s food and drink scene, he was curious how many of his contemporaries had done the same. “I really don’t go downtown often,” Christopher says. “A few years ago, maybe twice a month, we’d go down to hit some of the unusual bars.” His curiosity as to how the downtown restaurant scene has evolved got the best of him. The list of places explored spans the gamut of downtown liquor licenses — ranging from the glitz of Hanny’s to the funky grit of the Ruby Room — and mapped it out. The only thing left to do was find other curiously compelled chefs, and that was the easy part. Food icons such as Aaron May (Scottsdale’s Sol y Sombra and Over Easy in Phoenix), James Porter (the now-defunct Tapino and the soon-to-open Petite Maison), Beau MacMillan (elements at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain) are just a few of the members of the party. The list was a combination of places Christopher used to hit regularly when downtown and places he’s been meaning to try. “I hadn’t been to Hanny’s — what a beautiful place. It was someplace I wanted to see. We had a few snacks there and it was really good. “Bikini [Lounge] I’d been to before. There was maybe four of us and we had several drinks. When we paid, it seemed to cost less than the tip at the Merc Bar.” “We went to Sens. [Owner Johnny Chu] made some really neat stuff. Then right next door is PastaBAR. We had a good time there as well, and the Turf next door. When we got there, I ran into a table of people who come [to Christopher’s] quite often.” Somewhere in between they managed to hit the Roosevelt, the Lost Leaf, PaisleyTown, the Trunk Space and Conspire. Still not satisfied, Christopher cites Alwun House, SideBar and Carly’s as spots he would have liked to add to the tour. “I went [to Alwun House] a couple of times,” he recalls. “It would have been fun for everyone to see if there was something unusual going on there… well, there’s always something unusual going on — that would have been fun.” So, what’s the fascination with downtown, you ask? It’s no secret that more and more chefs are venturing downtown to open new dining ventures. Christopher and pals used to cruise bars downtown regularly, and he wanted to see if the hype was warranted. “When a mutual friend was spinning [records] downtown, we’d call it ‘dive bar night’ and four or six of us would go to places like Fat Cat’s, Bikini Lounge, the Roosevelt, Carly’s — we’d hit a bunch of places like that. “Most people think Phoenix is so vanilla. [They think] there’s nothing urban or ‘SoHo-ish’ about the place. So, it would be fun to organize a chef crawl downtown. These are people that don’t venture downtown, so they could see that there is something else to Phoenix other than Camelback and further north. “There are so many restaurants [downtown],” he continues. “More people are moving down there. If you’re looking for something urban, small and not too expensive, I think it’s great.” Christopher does say, however, that to open a restaurant in the “moderate to above-moderate” price range downtown would present a challenge right now. He thinks those that live north of downtown and beyond may hesitate to come downtown to eat. “People in Phoenix have a tendency to stay within a three-mile radius of where they live, and it’s been like that for some time. Something high end could still be difficult downtown. But with the light rail, between 7th Street and Tempe, I think that area is very promising, with the interaction between downtown and Tempe.” With time, he thinks the food scene along the rail will flourish. “There’s been so much [negative] speculation about downtown in the past, and that’s changing,” he says. “Now with indie grocery stores popping up, you can actually walk out your door and get food.” When asked whether the chef crawl could turn into a semi-regular venture, Christopher doesn’t hesitate to suggest its expansion. “Possibly twice a year!” he beams. “We’ll just have to put little GPS [devices] on us, or leashes. We have a tendency to roam around, especially when there’s a stop with two or three places to go to. “A lot of the chefs wanted to see several of the places downtown as well,” he says. “Everyone really enjoyed it, especially after a few drinks. They’re all ready to go again.” After a raucous night, from what he can remember, Chef Christopher proclaims the chef’s crawl a rousing success. “In the restaurant business, we work a lot and get off late and go home. This was a chance that had nothing to do with work for a lot of us to get to know each other — and downtown — better. Good camaraderie.”]]> 3058 0 0 0 636 http://tempeinmotion.com/2009/07/the-merry-chef-caravan-from-the-north/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/17/friday-concert-series-civic-space/ Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:01:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3209 ]]> 3209 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/11/3212/ Sat, 11 Jul 2009 07:01:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3212 3212 0 0 0 640 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/10/prime-commercial-lot-coronado-historic-district/ Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:38:08 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3242 Join other cool, successful businesses in the Coronado Historic District, building your dream facility on this commercially zoned lot just a few doors down from the Tuck Shop.  Great place for an Architect's office or live/work professional or neighborhood commercial retail operation.  Lot is approximately 6300 sq ft, zoned C-1.  Asking Price is $59,900

On the other hand, I am relatively certain that the CBS programming executive who sat through a test screening of a proposed Brüno TV show was not in on the joke, and it showed in the shocked look on his face when he saw a singing erect penis on the screen. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the schadenfreude of seeing Paula Abdul talked into using migrant workers as furniture and uncomfortably continuing the interview until leaving in disgust. I appreciate him poking fun at the ridiculous PR escapades of celebrities, from the trendy adopting of African babies to Abdul's declaration that her charity work is "like the air I breathe." At moments, seemingly by accident, the film does shine its light on relevant cultural issues. But it never does so with the depth of field or raw passion that I was hoping for. The climax--in which Brüno riles up a crowd of ultimate fighting fans in Arkansas, only to disappoint them with a heavy dose of man-on-man kissing and groping--seems to be nothing more than a desperate attempt to repeat the severe, brutal honesty of the classic rodeo scene in Borat. In this film, though, the set-up was so contrived and dishonest that I found myself cheering on the homophobic audience as they tossed their beers on the stage in anger. I wished I had a chair to throw at the stage too.]]> 3307 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/14/wanted-highly-educated-singles/ Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:35:54 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3311 speed dating, you see, and it's coming to downtown Phoenix.

On Saturday, July 18 and Wednesday, July 22, stop by the Epicurious.com booth at the market anytime during its operating hours, and pick up a free eco-friendly tote bag, a recipe card with the perfect dish to cook up that day, and other great give-aways. The tour is sponsored by Newman’s Own, Stacy’s, McCormick, and World MasterCard. The Phoenix Public Market, 721 N. Central Ave., is an outdoor market open every Wednesday evening from 4pm to 8pm and every Saturday morning from 8am to noon, whether rain or shine. The market, established in February 2005, features specials on Arizona grown produce, fresh baked goods, local arts and crafts, live music, and more. It is a unique outlet for small local food-related enterprises to create opportunities for small businesses that cannot afford typical retail space costs to market their products. The Phoenix Public Market has provided the city with access to affordable and nutritious food, and is working to establish a permanent several-day-a-week grocery store in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Urban Grocery and Wine Bar will be at 14 E. Pierce St., adjacent to the current open-air market. It is expected to open in mid-September and will operate Tuesday through Saturday from 11am to 8pm. It will offer high quality, affordable groceries, perpared food to eat in or take out, flowers and plants, wine and beer, bath and body products, household and pet items, and crafts, with priority given to those made by local artisans or produced in Arizona. In addition, Royal Coffee Bar, located at 2nd Ave. and Jackson, will be opening a second site, Royal at the Market, at the store.

Veni, Vidi, and Vici. Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, then Michael Jackson. You get the point. I often say that we are experiencing something special in Phoenix. A tipping point. That when we look back on the turn of the 21st Century we will see a time of unbridled innovation and leading edge creativity coupled with disciplined growth in infrastructure and sound policy-making. My friend thinks I'm crazy. He says that Phoenix has always been, and will always be, at that tipping point. I disagreed, until this week. In three different conversations this week, three different people said they were going to be leaving Phoenix in the near future. Things happen in threes, so I guess it's time to write about it. One was going to Austin, Texas. Another to Seattle, Washington. And another to Denver, Colorado. All had different reasons for where they were landing, but everyone had the same reason for leaving: "There's nothing for me in Phoenix." The first time I shrugged it off, the second time I got defensive, and the third time I was just outright sad. Before 1860, Paris was nothing. It wasn't until then that The City of Lights invested in developing pedestrian activity along the Boulevards by embracing art, culture, and creativity. Before 1910, New York City was just another city. But because of its influx of people emigrating to a new country and a new way of life while holding on to the traditions of their own personal histories, New York became the bastion of "what's next" in every field; art, music, business, and culture. Now, think about Phoenix: Developing infrastructure? Check. With numbers far surpassing expectations, Phoenix now has a successful public transportation system. A fantastic start, at least. Business development along the rail line is booming, and the community is calling for extensions in every direction. Immigration? Check. Phoenix carries the honorable distinction of being a "majority-minority" city - meaning that over half of our population is made up of people who are not White. It means more than that, though. Namely, that we are provided with a unique opportunity to learn from a myriad of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. So where does that leave us? Right, the tipping point. But I'm learning that we don't have the necessary ingredient to push ourselves to the next level: people who care we're at the tipping point. I get it, now. Our chance to get on the other side of civic adolesence leaves on a daily basis. Our leadership boasts that we are the 5th largest city in the nation and that in 20 years we will climb the list to be the 3rd largest behind New York and Los Angeles. Yet people leave Phoenix every day for Austin, Seattle, Denver, San Francisco, or Portland - taking with them their energy, talent, and ingenuity. Being a large city is great, but I think it's important to know that Detroit was the fastest growing city in 1954. Maybe instead of focusing on bringing in new people, we should figure out how to keep the ones we have...]]> 3361 0 0 0 670 http://www.cenpho.tv 0 0 671 http://www.cenpho.tv 0 0 672 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=746109621 0 46 673 http://www.phxrailfood.com 0 0 659 http://www.africankelli.com 0 0 660 http://www.HappyHealthyWellAdjustedAndPopular.blogspot.com 0 0 661 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 662 http://wesleytech.com 0 0 663 http://www.randykinkelart.com 0 0 664 http://www.fortyagency.com/ 0 0 665 0 0 667 http://www.west.asu.edu 0 0 668 0 0 669 http://nonprofit.asu.edu 0 0 675 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 679 0 0 680 http://nonprofit.asu.edu 0 0 687 http://adammackwright.wordpress.com 0 0 695 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/16/huge-2-story-bungalow-east-evergreen-historic-district/ Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:56:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3366 This is an extraordinary opportunity for someone who wants to live and work in Downtown Phoenix, all under the same roof or for a full blown Professional Office ie.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer joined management leaders from RED Development and Hunt Construction Group at the ceremony to announce nine new tenants signing on for CityScape’s Phase I office tower. The tower is slated to open in Spring 2010. The nine new tenants include six restaurants: The Breakfast Club, Blu Burger Grille, Press Coffee, Mojo Yogurt and two new Aaron May restaurants including an Asian Noodle House and a Mexican-style restaurant. Two clothing retailers, including a Scottsdale-based denim retailer, Designer District, and Republic of Couture, join the rapidly growing list. Gust Rosenfeld, one of the Valley’s oldest and most prestigious law firms, has also signed on. These nine join 11 other tenants in the CityScape Phase I project. AJ’s Fine Foods, Urban Outfitters, Gold’s Gym, CVS Pharmacy, the Kimpton Palomar Hotel and others have already committed to the project. Despite Bashas’ Supermarket Inc., owners of AJ’s Fine Foods and Food City, filing for Chapter 11 protection earlier this week, CityScape remains hopeful that they will still choose to be a part of the project. “We know that all of their reasons for wanting to put an AJ’s in Phoenix are still the same. We continue to hope that it still makes sense for them,” said Jeff Moloznik, Development Manager for RED Development. If AJ’s Fine Food’s does have to pull out the project, Moloznik assures that the space will remain grocery space. The development group behind the 600,000-square-foot tower worked hard to achieve a balance between national retail chains and local, owner operated stores. The local stores are unique additions to the CityScape project because they will be the first or second of their kind in Phoenix. Mayor Phil Gordon is pleased with the balance that CityScape’s retail is aiming to achieve. “What are retail places trying to become? Faux-downtowns. Well, Phoenix has the only downtown [in Arizona] so we don’t need the faux,” Gordon said. “People will come because they enjoy it. It is vibrant and eclectic.” Hunt Construction, the company behind the Phoenix Convention Center expansion, Cardinal’s Stadium and the Civic Space Park, became Arizona’s first and only building contractor to receive Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s Voluntary Protection Program STAR status for the CityScape construction. This means they now manage themselves in the areas of safety. In conclusion to the topping-off ceremony, a boxed pine tree was lifted 368 feet to the top of the tower. As Scandinavian tradition goes, to appease the tree-dwelling spirits the final timber is lifted into place in celebration. Today, many construction companies place a pine branch at the top of the completed building. Look for CityScape’s Phase I tenants taking residence between March-June 2010.

One of the best things about St. Mary’s Food Bank is that it is a fantastic opportunity for groups of any size to get together and volunteer. This is an excellent avenue for businesses to get their employees involved by hosting a group to attend one Saturday for a few hours. The Food Bank accommodates [caption id="attachment_3315" align="alignright" width="300" caption="David & Sam PR staff volunteer on a Saturday - Photo by: Jim Poulin"][/caption] groups of 5 to 100 Tuesday through Saturday. St. Mary’s Food bank is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “alleviate hunger by efficiently gathering and distributing food to sites that serve the hungry”. The bank services 13 out of the 15 counties, providing nearly 300,000 per day. Groups volunteer to pack boxes with food donations for three to four hour shifts. The experience is very fast-paced, as boxes race down the assembly line. Pairs are assigned to each station to fill the boxes with pasta, canned food, juice and other such items. It is a great team building experience, as groups have to work together to make sure each box has the proper number of items while getting to talk and have a good time. At the end of the shift, the St. Mary’s staff will read off the number of boxes prepare and calculate how many meals the group has provided. You would be surprised at how many lives you can affect in a just a few hours on a Saturday. All members of the groups must be over the age of 12, with those under the age of 16 requiring an adult chaperone. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes and must have on closed-toe shoes. Shift sign-ins are from 8:00 – 8:30 a.m. for the morning shift and 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon shift. If you are interested in volunteering, please email volunteerservices@firstfoodbank.org or call (602) 343-3128.

Restaurants attract tourists. Retail attracts shoppers. Both pay low wages. Neither serves residents. Ever been to downtown Phoenix? Restaurants, save for one shining star, are usually half full. During the summer, many of them are closed for weeks at a time. Since so few people live here, mainly due to the fact there's nothing to keep them here, the only busy nights are Fridays. Sure, First Friday is fantastic, but that's once a month. I want downtown Phoenix to succeed just as much as you do. I want an AJ's in CityScape, I want the Public Market open more often and I want things to do after 11pm, but I realize that takes time and that takes people. I want more than just retail. I want more than just corporations. I want variety. So please, please, let's be realistic about all this. Downtown Phoenix isn't booming, it's growing. Hell, the last time I heard downtown Phoenix was booming we got a bunch of high-end, high-priced condos that still aren't full that few people can afford to rent. Stop saying revitalization. Downtown Phoenix doesn't have much history to build on. Stop living in the past. Look toward the future. Let's develop, but let's be sure to do it sustainably. The last thing we need down here is another collapse. ]]> 3446 0 0 0 705 693 0 710 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 705 9 990 708 0 708 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000416495 0 25 693 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 692 http://www.phxrailfood.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/22/mayor-gordons-blog/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:00:47 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3450 My first day in Washington DC this week was focused on developing opportunities that will bring business to Phoenix.  Thanks to our beautiful new convention center and hotel in Downtown Phoenix, I invited the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to host their international conference in Phoenix.  The conference would bring more than 1,000 attendees to the city to experience great new dining and entertainment.  We would all love to see the streets and restaurants downtown full of Electrical Workers.

Stimulus funding continues to be the primary focus of my trips to DC.  There are many different programs available and, while some cities are struggling with understanding the process and putting together projects that qualify for stimulus funding, Phoenix is doing well because of our active engagement with the Obama administration since the beginning.  I am proud of our efficiencies in not only receiving stimulus dollars, but also how well the city is implementing these programs and putting people to work on the stimulus projects.

As a result of one of my meetings today, Phoenix is engaged in discussions on the energy grant program, which was included in the ARRA.  This program requires mayors across the country to work together to encourage Congress to establish a permanent funding stream for the program -- ultimately allowing Phoenix to further our Green Phoenix plan, and create more "green collar" jobs.  I will be engaging my friends with the conference of Mayors to pursue this long-term opportunity.

Struck a chord. Caused a commotion. And hopefully (yes, I have hope) it will stir people into action. Before I take a stab on how best to retain our talent, though, I would like to clarify a few things: First, I did not mean to imply that those already doing good work are not doing good enough. Quite the contrary. If we see any further, it is only because we stand on the shoulders of giants. Second, I understand (and ask you to, as well) that I do not speak with authority. Mark Dudlik wrote a great letter concerning the Phoenix design scene that carried a similar tone. He prefaced it this way:

...I don't consider myself an expert on its past, its current status, and definitely not its future. I mention this because I hope what I say here doesn't come off as a slap in the face of those of you who have been in this town, working hard, making great things and being part of the community here. However, that being said...

Finally, I think it might be helpful for you to know a few things about me and where I come from. In quotes: "The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates Stagnation is boring. Whether we're talking about life, work, or play, doing it better all the time makes sense. And it's hard to determine what needs betterment without a little honest examination, right? "You may say that I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one." John Lennon Ok, so this is really a song lyric and not a quote. Close enough. Point is, I have ideas that I tend to share. Like keeping people in Phoenix. "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi This quote might be considered overplayed, but it is one of the most meaningful word groupings in history. Personally, it means that I'm not going to talk about making a commitment to our city without doing it myself. And if you're really that interested to learn more about me, I blog regularly here and tweet from here.

Though just 18, Andrews has been crooning up arts venues around Phoenix for several years now and is a key member of budding Phoenix label River Jones Music.

Painter's Hands offers a more in-depth look at Andrews' music, and a maturity beyond her years.

"I feel like this record was a lot more developed and refined," Andrews says. "During the recording process, I would finish a song, listen to it, and then decide that it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So, I'd add something, or redo it entirely. Initially my goal was to make a more mature-sounding album."

Most important is Andrews' live show, which she's been honing around town quite often over the past few years.

"Live shows are fun," she says. "However, I'm horrible at convincing people to come. But, here is my attempt: It will be super fun and inviting, and I'd love to sing you some of my songs."

The album release party is a small celebration before a whirlwind finish to the year that will see Andrews sitting down to record yet another record in September before touring in support of Painter's Hands.

Andrews is moving downtown following the show at Modified to hole up and finish writing.

"I already have about five songs finished," she says. "I just graduated high school, so I will have almost all the time in the world to focus on my music, which is really nice."

Local indie boys What Laura Says (playing at 9 p.m.) will support Andrews, along with River Jones labelmates You Me and Apollo (8:15), Bradley and the Materials (7:40), In Symmetry (7:05) and the Constellation Branch (6:30).

Andrews will play a set on Radio Phoenix from 8-8:50 p.m. as well.

Doors at 6 p.m. $6. Painter's Hands will be on sale for $10. Also available at Stinkweeds and online.

Metro stepped up and extended the hours for light rail, so now it’s our turn to show them it was a great decision! Introducing Night Rail, July 31st! If you are a fan of the extended light rail hours, a friend of business owners along the line or just a fan of having fun, join us for Night Rail. Several groups will be getting together along the line throughout the evening and then meeting at the Roosevelt Station at midnight to show support for the extended hours. After midnight, we will head to a couple of nearby places before calling it a night. You can join our friends at “Light Rail Friday Night” who will be meeting at Rula Bula on Mill from 6-9 pm. After that, people will be meeting (10pm) at Monti’s and at Maizie’s, which is just south of the light rail station at Central and Camelback.

The Anchor Building, built in 1928, was previously a Ford dealership, a city bus garage, and a Hensley & Company beer distributorship. Currently, the building is used as a distribution center for R&R Surplus, a vintage clothing company. They reclaim vintage clothing and accessories from around the world, and add their own “twist” to them. The 1929 French ammunition bags, for example, have each been handcrafted with rhinestones. R&R Surplus also sells old favorites such as PF Flyers and Champion sweatshirts. But this is only the beginning. “We’ve got every foot of the 15,000 square feet planned out,” Rosenstein said. The entire project is called The Duce, which Rosenstein hopes will come to life in November. It will include a restaurant with the bar from the original Black Orchid jazz club in Chicago, outdoor seating and live jazz music. There will also be a vinyl record store, a fresh produce market, a Schwinn vintage bicycle shop, and a coffee and cereal bar that opens up to the sidewalk for convenient to-go service to pedestrians. Rosenstein also said it will be a venue for events. In April, the building hosted the fourth annual Phoenix Contemporary Design Fair. Rosenstein started a clothing company called Fitigues with Andi Rosenstein while he was living in Chicago. After a while, Rosenstein and his family decided to leave Chicago and head west for warm weather and sunny skies. They relocated to Phoenix and sold the business in 2006. “We went from being really, really authentic city people to Phoenix suburban people,” Rosenstein said. “So after the euphoria of those mountains, those hikes and that beautiful blue sky, it started to wear off. I started to miss the city a little bit. Then we discovered this place.” Rosenstein was sent a picture of The Anchor Building and ventured to downtown Phoenix to see it in person. “I didn’t even know if downtown Phoenix really existed,” Rosenstein said. “We started just kind of kicking around down here and I thought, “wow, there’s actually some culture down here, some diversity.’” Rosenstein hopes to do more than just create The Duce. “I want to really make a difference and really infuse some life and authenticity in downtown Phoenix,” he said. “I want to make it the city that we’re all starving for.” Rosenstein also hopes the project can bring inspiration to others. “I think it’s going to be a catalyst for other creative city people to come down and say, ‘we can take one of those warehouses and do something too.’” R&R Surplus Photo courtesy of kontaktmag. ]]> 3511 0 0 0 13736 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbwR5W-LEo0 studio beats for sale cheap real beats for sale cheap]]> 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/07/29/corrections/ Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:28:59 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3522 Meet Curtis Miller and Flag Lady Cindy McBride.

It's just a short light rail ride away!) Whether it is networking, marketing or blogging, social media is being used in a variety of ways. While many businesses have discovered the advantages of using social media, others are falling behind. The good news is, it is not too late for them to get involved. An event is coming to downtown Phoenix (since moved to Tempe because of capacity issues) on August 20 to help these businesses transition to the new way of communication and interaction. Think of it as a “business introduction to social media 101,” said Fred von Graf, founder of the event. The all-day event, called SMAZ, will be from 9am to 4pm at MADCAP Theaters, 730 S Mill Ave in Tempe. “The main purpose is to help businesses understand social media,” von Graf said. “There’s a lot of buzz around it right now and a lot of confusion, I think, as well.” The event will include presentations from key speakers, but the majority of it will be break-out sessions and panels to give participants the opportunity for one-on-one engagement with social media experts, von Graf said. “It gives corporations, businesses and people that have an interest in this an opportunity to speak with people that are not only experts in it, but also people who have implemented it from a corporate perspective,” von Graf said. Von Graf came up with the idea for the event because he realized there was a need for it. “There’s not a lot of choice,” he said. “This is the way people are communicating.” Social Media for Business also aims to help businesses understand the challenges they could potentially face when using social media and how to deal with them. “Now people can have four or five thousand followers [on Twitter] and say something about your company,” Von Graf said. “How do you address that?” Von Graf initially thought the event would be a one-time thing, but now hopes to have something like it three or four times each year. “The relationships that I’ve established just by creating this event are going to help probably make further events,” he said. From the point of having the idea to four days later, there were six speakers and several corporate sponsors who were interested, von Graf said. Von Graf is trying to work with other small groups who are also involved with the growth of social media and technology, including PodCampAZ and the Business Marketing Association, which is having an event called Technology for Marketers in September.

The event was organized to show support for the extended light rail hours for Friday and Saturday evenings until 2 a.m. On Friday, July 31st light rail supporters gathered at various locations along on the line with plans to merge the groups in downtown Phoenix. The evening began at 6 p.m. in the East Valley at Rula Bula, an Irish pub on Mill Ave. near ASU's Tempe Campus. Around 9 p.m., the crowd walked to the 3rd Street light rail stop and took the party to downtown Phoenix. On the way, light rail riders were serenaded by a local performance troupe called the Motion Theatre Company. The perfect example of the unique opportunities the light rail provides, the small group of college students sang a selection of contemporary musical pieces include "Downtown [Skid Row]" from Little Shop of Horrors, "Season of Love" from RENT and "Lean on Me". The group was formed by Mark Jacobson, a student at University of Southern California, to "ambush common commuters" on the light rail line with the beauty of song. Friday was the group's last performance, but they intend to regroup over the holiday break. You can check out video of the performance, courtesy of Clintus McGintus. Light rail supporters regrouped at Maizie's Cafe & Bistro near the Central and Camelback Rd. station. The Night Rail event filled the cafe to the brim, with attendees spilling out onto the patio and street. The group was a mix of locals and Phoenix leadership, including representatives from the Downtown Voices Coalition, RadiatePhx and Local First AZ. "This event is the right way to catch up with friends and explore places all along the light rail," said downtown Phoenix local Wayne Turner. "The extended hours make it easier to enjoy the evening without having to worry that my friends will or won't catch the light rail." For the final stop of the Night Rail event, supporters took a short ride from Maizie's to the Roosevelt stop. For updates on future events, be sure to check back or visit the Rail Life blog.

"We began exploring the concept for SuTRA back in 2006. It seemed the cost of health and fitness was getting more and more expensive and many studios were simply trying to make a buck and provide nothing more than a social hot spot," says owner Matthew Fritz. "We noticed a gap. We noticed the need to build a community. We noticed that students desired an environment that could bring to joy, fun and freedom with alternative forms of exercise. This gave birth to the concept of 'Yoga Fusions' and fabulously fun fitness! Fusing various forms of movement into yoga and exercise — such as martial arts, dance, and fitness — cater to the health-minded without the need to conform." Indeed, this Sheridan Square studio has created a niche, along with other modish, independent-minded businesses such as Lisa G Café and Wine Bar, MacAlpine's Soda Fountain and Drip Coffee Lounge. The fresh mindset of businesses here made for the perfect spot for SuTRA. "Coronado and the Midtown area have always felt like a neighborhood to us," says Fritz. "We have been residents of Coronado for over six years, and although it has been exciting to watch the outlying areas evolve and grow, there has always been a strong neighborly community thriving behind the high-speed traffic of 7th Street. That sense of community seems to be building. Fritz is quick to point out that participants don't need experience in yoga or dance to enjoy themselves. They can quickly drop their guard and enjoy a fun, healthful experience. The "fusion" approach branches yoga into some uncharted territories, including ballet, tango, kung fu, Pilates and various musical styles such as reggae, funk, soul, rock and more. SuTRA even offers a unique style of massage that combines tranquility with good old therapeutic pain relief. "The word 'sutra' in Sanskrit literally translates to 'the thread the binds,' and this was our intention: to provide a setting that is safe, comfortable and free of judgment, where forward-thinking, inventive personalities could enjoy yoga the way it has always been meant to be enjoyed — with liberation," says Fritz. "We opened SuTRA to be more than just another yoga studio — SuTRA represents creative expression through lifestyle, mindset, attitude and movement; without ego, without drama and without rules." "Without rules" could be an understatement at times. Friday evenings at the studio are an ever-revolving mix of events, while "community jukebox" Saturdays are an adventure in spontaneity and free thinking. "This class is our gift back to the community so everyone has the opportunity to experience the joys of yoga and the benefits of fitness," Fritz says. However, there is a catch. In true SuTRA fashion, we have added our own little twist — we don’t reveal the class style until students arrive. Sometimes the best way to be introduced to a new experience is when you’re not able to plan for it." For more information on SuTRA Midtown Yoga, head over to 2317 N. 7th Street, or call 602.253.9525. The studio is also available to book any "no shoes" events you may have in mind.

Craváth is a composer, writer and scholar in the field of music and American Indian studies. He crafts programs from these interests into discussions that include stories, musical performance and dance. His publications include North American Indian Music and Songs for Ancient Days. For a musician, the song is often recalled most easily with instrument in hand, which conjures history when played in the manner of the day. The rolling gourd rattle before a Mohave Bird song carries the vocal. A banjo's four-bar intro brings the audience to quiet and readies the dancers. Musical instruments in Arizona are as diverse as the immigrants who traveled through and settled in our state. Craváth, a multi-instrumentalist, discusses and demonstrates how instruments have been an integral part of the musical experience, from assisting with oral memory of pieces, to providing a time capsule opened when the song is played. Among the instruments demonstrated are the balalaika, dulcimer, harp guitar, Hohokam bone flute and mandola. Light refreshments will be served but attendees should bring their own lunches.

In a couple of distinct ways, I am associated with Arizona State University — namely, I work and take classes at the Downtown Phoenix campus. Consider that full disclosure.

A new academic year starts on August 24, which means that the 10,000 or so students that take classes on the Downtown Phoenix campus will be hanging out around campus more often. Of that number, over 1,000 will be living at Taylor Place, the new residence halls at 1st and Taylor streets.

Only 500 students lived in Taylor Place last year, yet they still had a noticeable impact on our hyper-local economy. Doubling that number is undoubtedly going to grow the impact, but we have more to be excited about than the body count rising.

Tempe is known for its collegiate culture. Mill Avenue is a nationally recognized hot spot. But it didn't happen overnight.

ASU has been in Tempe since 1885 (although it was "Tempe Normal School" until the middle of last century). In contrast, ASU has been in Downtown Phoenix for less than five years. And this is only the second year that the campus has had a residential population worth writing home about.

Yes, there are more people here. But more and more of these students are here for their second and third years. That means that not only are they bringing their friends, but they are also bringing their experiences back with them. And more often than not, they also have a few dollars from mommy and daddy to spend.

Be patient. Success will come. Be creative. We all have the ability to shape the future of Downtown. Be here. You add value just by living, working or playing in Phoenix.

The modern master of animation, Hayao Miyazaki, presents Ponyo, a contemporary fairy tale that is a blend of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid and Wagner's The Valkyrie with his own brand of environmentalism, feminism and some spectacular wizardry thrown in for good measure. The story features a young fish-girl (Noah Cyrus), daughter of a powerful undersea wizard (Liam Neeson), who ventures to the surface and ends up in the care of Sosuke (Frankie Jonas), a young boy who lives with his mother (Tina Fey) in an isolated house on top of a cliff. Sosuke names the fish-girl Ponyo, and cares for her until he loses her to the sea at the hands of her father. Her father (who insists on calling Ponyo Brünhildde, à la Wagner) is unable to keep her underwater for long, and she uses her powerful magic to rise to the surface to be with Sosuke, whom she has fallen in love with. Sensing the inevitable, her father and mother (Cate Blanchett) realize that she is determined to live her life on dry land, so they arrange a test to determine whether the young Sosuke is worthy of being her companion. Sosuke passes the test and Ponyo becomes human, restoring the balance of nature in the process. From the hand-drawn landscapes to the masterfully crafted action sequences, Ponyo is a visual delight. Miyazaki did a significant amount of the animation himself on this project, and his vision shows through. The scenes in which the raging water is personified as giant blue fish, crashing as waves on the land, is not mere storytelling or even art as much as it is a perfect anthropomorphizing of nature with a tender strength that only Miyazaki could pull off. The cast of characters includes Lily Tomlin, Betty White and Cloris Leachman as a group of seniors who provide comic relief to the story. Their witty banter belies their key role in the closing scenes of the movie, in which they undergo transformations that lead them to physical restoration, as the young Ponyo and Sosuke demonstrate their emotional maturity. While I am predisposed to reject the contrived confusion of dubbed voice talent, the casting was spot on — with one exception. Cyrus and Jonas were well-suited to the two young lead roles. Tina Fey's slightly tinny-yet-loving tone was just right for Sosuke's mother, and Cate Blanchett's performance as Ponyo's mystical mother, while bordering on a re-enactment of her portrayal of Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings, fit perfectly. Liam Neeson's booming baritone missed the mark, though. He was not believable as the thin, gangly, smarmy sea wizard. The one major disappointment in the film is the climactic scene in which Sosuke is asked to perform a test of love, to prove he is worthy of Ponyo. The film builds to a crescendo leading to the moment in which Ponyo's parents, in a mystical, life-regenerating bubble under the flooded surface of the earth, tell him what his test of love is. His test of love, the pinnacle that the film has been building to, is simply a question. After over an hour of drama, leitmotif, action and frantic emotion, they just ask him to promise that he will love Ponyo no matter what form she is in. But it isn't a question that is beautiful in its simplicity, instead, it comes across as an awkwardly worded letdown. In spite of the mis-step with the climactic scene, and a couple of odd scenes that didn't translate very well to the American screen (including an unsettling discussion about the origins of human breast milk), Ponyo is a brilliant work of art by a man who may be the last great master of hand-drawn animation. It is a must see.]]> 3747 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/08/12/fair-trade/ Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:49:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3763 Fair Trade Café, everyone's favorite easygoing, organic coffeehouse at Roosevelt Square, is opening its second location at Civic Park on Friday, August 21.

The City of Phoenix, the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, Artlink, Inc. and ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus are partnering on a special trolley tour to encourage and engage student leaders to take advantage of the variety of amenities offered in the city's core. The tour, which showcases entertainment venues, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural attractions in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, starts at 5 p.m. Saturday, August 15 at Taylor Place residence hall, 120 E. Taylor Place. Three trolley cars will pick up approximately 60 community assistants, student engagement supervisors and workers and residential college peer leaders for a fun-filled evening of art, commerce and culture. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said the tour will be comparable to a treasure hunt. Please join me in welcoming our ASU students to downtown Phoenix for our 2009 tour. Our new students will experience an emerging downtown in the heart of this city on the rise,” Gordon said. “We have so many hidden treasures that won't stay hidden for much longer. I thank ASU, Artlink, Inc. and the Downtown Phoenix Partnership for shining a light on Downtown Phoenix.” Student leaders selected for the tour have extensive exposure to the ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus student community and were invited because of their ability to promote the area. Tour stops include the Arizona Science Center Dorrance Planetarium, Arizona Center, Roosevelt Row and several restaurants and boutiques. “The idea is to introduce student leaders what Phoenix has to offer,” said Terry Madeksza, director of operations for the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. “We want to expose them to all of our entertainment, retail, dining and cultural opportunities, which are all within walking distance of where they'll live.” The tour will also expose students to ASU's Sun Card “Use it Here” program, a new business incentive program. Members can simply show their Sun Card at participating businesses and venues for discounts on products and services. Participating vendors will display placards that say, “Use it Here” with ASU's mascot, “Sparky,” holding a Sun Card. Faculty and staff will be encouraged to load dollars onto their cards and use them at participating vendors in the downtown area. Artlink President Sloane Burwell said her organization couldn’t be happier to participate in what will hopefully be a time-honored tradition. “It’s a natural, organic partnership. For the last 20 years Artlink has been a vital part of bringing people downtown and we've contributed to the development of our city,” Burwell said. “Working with ASU in this way is like introducing the next generation of leaders to our neighborhoods.” The Downtown Phoenix campus is embedded in the heart of the city. The colleges and schools on the campus directly interact with more than 500 agencies to provide internships, research, partnerships, programs and clinical practices. Funded by a voter-approved $223 million bond, the campus will comprise nine buildings that cover approximately 20 acres, accommodate 15,000 students, employ 1,800 faculty and staff and generate about $948 million in construction costs and occupy more than 1.5 million square feet by its projected build-out in 2020. The campus will have an annual operational economic impact of $570 million not only producing the intellectual assets for the city, state, nation and the world, but also proving to be an economic force as well.]]> 3785 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/08/17/pjs-eggs/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:19:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3789 Hickman Family Farms. The event took place on Friday, August 14 and featured nine Valley breakfast hot spots. Patrons were invited to donate a pair of children's pajamas to receive a dozen free Hickman eggs and an opportunity to win a breakfast party for 65 friends. At Matt's Big Breakfast, on 1st Street, many of the event's participants came wearing their pajamas. The Owens family decided to join in on the fun on the suggestion of daughter Sienna Owens, who celebrated her 9th birthday Friday. "She wanted to come out and help the kids," said mother Jill Owens, "As well as eat breakfast for dinner on her birthday." Chandler resident Cheerilyn Snow has been meaning to visit Matt's since she saw it featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, but hasn't been able to make it out since the restaurant closes early. "It's nice to see people out at night," said owner Matt Pool. "Something like this is fun for all." Unfortunately, one featured participant was unable to stay open for the event due to contract restrictions by the landlord. Locally owned restaurant Over Easy had originally been listed as a participant on Hickman's website, but due to a miscommunication was informed on Thursday, August 13 that its contract did not permit it to stay open later on a Friday. "I am very disappointed in the landlord for handling this matter in the way they did," said owner Brad May. "However, they are still the landlord and they have every right to run to conduct their business in any way they see fit." Despite the setback, May was still on the premise to accept donations, as well as give out eggs and coupons to the dozen or so patrons who were not aware of the change. "It is not the kids' fault that all of this happened," said May. "We are very community minded and these kids still have needs." Due to the closure during the event, Over Easy will be donated 10% of its profits from normal operating hours on Saturday and Sunday to benefit Arizona foster children. "We expect to net close to $1,000 for the kids," said May. "Plus, we have a box full of pajamas thanks to our wonderful customers."

Perched amid the crowds mingling outside the Phoenix Convention Center and the Wyndham, Hanny’s casts a dim, sexy light on my beverage hopes. Initially, this looks like the kind of place where I will only be offered a Cosmopolitan and some fashion advice. I am pleasantly corrected. We enter to pulsating, catwalk music and I tell the barkeep to “give me one of ’em Pimm’s Cups.” Now, at this point, I fully expect a very inventive glass to present my fairy-named beverage. Disappointment sinks in. The drink that used to be presented in a tin miner’s cup now comes in one of those skinny, no-place-for-your-nose-to-go sissy glasses. As if that is not embarrassing enough, they garnish it with a cucumber. I am a fan of cucumbers, but I am not a rabbit. Nevertheless, the aroma of ginger is strong as I take my first sip. So smooth. That sweet ginger mixed with Pimm's liqueur, apples, oranges and limes... oh my! I feel like I might be all right with this deliciousness.

Hayworth, former 5th district representative and current right-wing talk radio host. “At least 500 people came here to talk about healthcare,” said Tom’s owner Mike Ratner. “The mood was respectful. This group was primarily against the changes being proposed. “I’m very pleased that people are becoming involved,” Ratner added. “The only thing I don’t like is when you’re outrageous in how you express yourself. We need reasonable formats for conversation.” Those protesting outside the VFW event did stay mostly respectful, even if some signs were more forceful. Some called Obama a socialist, declared the middle class needed saving and others read that healthcare was in desperate need for reform. At least one protestor wore a mask that combined Obama’s face with the makeup of the Joker. Of the chanting, sign-carrying and gun-toting crowd, I was able to only find one protestor who was actually concerned with what Obama was in Downtown Phoenix to talk about. “War is the bigger issue here,” former ASU student Hari Khalsa said. “I served in the (U.S.) Army for six years. We’ve got a major homeless population of returning vets.” Obama addressed that issue directly. After noting that he has instructed VA secretary Eric Shinseki to focus on reducing homelessness among veterans as a top priority, he added, to much applause, “Because, after serving their country, no veteran should be sleeping on the streets. We should have a zero-tolerance policy for that.” While the president read his prepared speech, the media kept busy. Never having covered a presidential event before, it was fascinating from a newbie’s eyes. For the 35 minutes or so the president talked, cameramen and women scurried around the platform to get a shot of the president speaking or shaking hands with vets; some took pictures of the crowd taking pictures of Obama. The journalist in front of me used the time before the president spoke to write his story based on the prepared remarks the White House had sent out beforehand. I have to admit, it was odd yet telling to watch the writer type, “Obama told the combat veterans such-and-such,” hours before the president even took the stage. A cartoonist sat to my right, scribbling out brilliant social commentary in black felt tip. Photojournalists lugged their laptops around, color correcting their stills before filing them off. The secret service looked on. Sometimes a vet would get too close to the cordoned-off sections in his chance to get a better shot of the president; a VFW volunteer would shoo the offending white-haired picture takers away. Afterward, I wandered around the convention center, getting people’s reactions about Obama’s speech. One refused to talk to me, one wanted to take me to lunch and another wanted to pepper me with healthcare facts a friend had told him from FOX News. Some were more interested in purchasing bald eagle ornaments, MIA pins or “National Terrorist Hunter” stickers. But as a whole, the Arizona vets were willing to chat about what they were hopeful for and what they wanted to see change. Invariably, every single one mentioned something about healthcare: reducing vets’ wait times for getting health insurance paperwork through, support for women’s preventative medical tests like mammograms during service and after being discharged and ensuring full medical coverage for service members’ families. While Obama only touched briefly on healthcare, one issue he did include was psychological care, such as treating post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries. “I terribly hope they can take care of the stress the Iraq War veterans are coming home with,” Allen Higgins, Commander of VFW Post 12006 in Mesa, said. “Obviously, some of them haven’t been able to deal with it,” he said, referring to the increased rate of suicide within returning vets. So, while it seemed like a lot of hubbub for the reading of a prepared speech, it nonetheless was democracy in action. And, it brought a stir to the Downtown area, giving residents a chance to voice their concerns about healthcare, even if only to Phoenicians walking to work and to the police keeping the sides apart.

Earlier this month, Mother Nature Network published an article highlighting water conservation titled, "Hydrating Phoenix: Quenching a city in the desert."  The article discusses how Phoenix, with a population of 3.5 million, has been able to use less water today than was used a decade ago, and less per capita than was used two decades ago.  To read the entire article, click here. As you probably know, I've been traveling to Washington, DC, several times a month to best ensure that the city's federal stimulus requests are being heard.  To date, the city has secured more than $270 million, including more than $22 million for energy-related projects. In addition to funds received directly by the city, companies and organizations within the Phoenix area are benefiting from the stimulus as well.  Just last week, we announced that Ecotality, a Phoenix-based company, will receive $100 million for transportation electrification projects.  To read more, click here.

Get Your Phx is a monthly gathering of approximately 40 urban enthusiasts who meet at various studios, restaurants and galleries in and around Downtown Phoenix. According to organizer Ken Clark, the goal of Get Your Phx is to support the people and projects that have “taken a risk” in Central Phoenix. After Hours Creative definitely fits the bill of a project that has taken a risk in Central Phoenix. The mixed-use building is the fulfillment of a dream for owners Mike Oleskow and Russ Haan. Not only is the 7,400-sq.-ft. building home to their business venture, After Hours Creative, and their gallery, After Hours Gallery, but also their incredible 1,100-sq.-ft. condo overlooking Central Avenue — all on a quarter-acre single-family lot bordering the Willo historical neighborhood. Mike and Russ wanted a building that would not only meet their needs today, but also the needs of owners 50 years down the road. So, while the building’s current configuration hosts an art gallery, graphic design studio, private office and condo, it is designed in such a way that one could easily imagine the building hosting a restaurant, law office, clothing store, tattoo parlor or more living spaces in future iterations. During the course of the evening, architect Scott Roeder, the project manager that turned Russ and Mike’s dream into a reality, showed guests around the building. The primary goal of the project was to maximize the floor area of the property while conforming to the commercial zoning restrictions of two stories. To manage this, Scott studied the ins and outs of the city ordinances and determined that while technically limited to two stories, buildings can have mezzanine levels as well as basements. As a result, he and his team were able to design four levels of living, work and storage space all within the official two-story limit. The building’s close proximity to the Central Avenue light rail line allows it to take advantage of the transit overlay district provisions regarding parking and lot coverage. However, the project did not receive any of the tax incentives or subsidies that major developments elsewhere in the city, such as CityScape or CityNorth, have enjoyed. Everyone I spoke to was in awe of the building and what Russ, Mike and Scott and his team have achieved. They all agreed that Phoenix, especially Downtown Phoenix, needs more of this type of space to flourish as a dynamic hub for the region. Alas, this is the only example of a small-scale, multi-use infill development around. Jim McPherson, Vice President of the Arizona Heritage Foundation and member of the Downtown Voices Coalition, would like to change this. During the event, he talked about the need to support this type of development throughout Downtown and called on City Hall to initiate an urban infill task force to investigate ways to encourage these projects in the Downtown core. If you haven’t been to the After Hours building yet, put it on your “must-see” list. The gallery is open weekdays from 10-5, as well as First Fridays. The building, including the condo, is also available to rent for private engagements, and is located at 116 W. McDowell Rd.

Also, the small shelves filled with various items, such as Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass vinyls, give a unique, hipster vibe. I had to kindly ask a few patrons to slide down to get myself into a great position just feet from the cooking magic. I was here for one thing: a cup of sweet toast. Sounds intriguing, right? Well, the magic did take a little while. Finally, the little miniature pitcher of organic honey preceded a shiny mug overflowing with sweet toast. The fluffy, eggy, wondrous bread slices piled up high were daunting, but I was prepared. Honestly, I was better off than a recently ditched prom date with a lifetime supply of Ben & Jerry’s. Every slice was better than the first, and as I pressed onward, I realized that I could see this through.

Gaeta, Italy-turned-California-turned-Mesa transplants Antonio and Anna Magliozzi have been swarming the former Copper Door space for weeks, adding subtle old school Italian charm to the restaurant, while maintaining the hotel's rich historic tradition. Though they had a successful gig at Café Roma in Mesa for several years, the Magliozzis couldn't turn down the opportunity to set up shop Downtown, where they can offer breakfast, buffet-style lunches and cater to the happy hour and formal dining crowd. "I've been working in a kitchen since I was 6 years old," Antonio says. "My father opened his first restaurant in 1929." Thus began a whirlwind of foodservice work for Antonio, who helped his father reopen a restaurant in 1945 after World War II and has never looked back. "I'm mostly in the kitchen," Antonio says, hinting at his true passion. Back in Gaeta, he lived upstairs and ran the restaurant at the ground level. He did stints cooking for cruise lines, and met Anna and ran a restaurant for 11 years before meeting a sponsor to help them move to California to create Italian cuisine. Since 2005, the Magliozzis have been running Café Roma in east Mesa with varied success. "In Mesa, there isn't much opportunity at lunchtime. Downtown there's a lot more going on. The menu here will have about 100 items, and we're going to open a coffee shop right next to this space with a breakfast buffet." Combine all this with foodservice at San Carlos' pool parties and a piano bar space alongside the restaurant, and the Magliozzis think they have a winner. Antonio is crossing his fingers for a September 1 opening for both spaces, which will operate seven days a week. Hours at the coffee shop will run 6-10 a.m. Lunch hour runs from 10:30-2, and Via Roma's full dinner menu will be available from 4 to 10:30, with bar service until around 12 a.m. For more information, contact Hotel San Carlos at 602.253.4121.

Then, on the fourth Sunday of the month, they get together at Space 55 to discuss the book in an open setting and providing their unique take on things. Oprah's Book Club this is not...

I had the pleasure of attending this past month's discussion on World War Z by Max Brooks. (Fun aside: Max Brooks is the son of famous director and funnyman Mel Brooks.) World War Z is a fictionalized collection of firsthand experiences and interviews from survivors 10 years after a war between the living and undead (read: zombies) that nearly wiped out humanity.

The discussion was lively, with all members of the group commenting on topics ranging from how fighting a war against zombies cannot be done in a traditional sense, and how that parallels current world events, to society's obsession with famous people and reality television, which plays into a section of the book.

Periodically, the group would create fictitious scenes based upon the themes and ideas presented in the source material. These scenes included a healthy dose of pop culture references and had the audience laughing heartily. Where else would you find subject matter ranging from the Jonas Brothers, to anthropomorphic tumors, to the online difficulties zombies would have with CAPTCHAs, to the reinvigoration of the Weekend at Bernie's franchise?

After the discussion, The Improvised Book Club followed with 10 minutes of straight-up improvisation. As with the scenes during the discussion, the subject matter varied widely, from conjoined police officers to how the District of Columbia came to be.

Next month's book is Aldous Huxley's classic and controversial science fiction novel Brave New World.

Thanks to the $7.2 million in funds that we secured through the American Federal Recovery and Reinvestment Act's Weatherization Program, we plan to weatherize more than 1,200 homes during the next three years. The first home completed with this money is in District 4, and belongs to Arthur and Rosa Lovato.  They joined us recently, and showcased their newly weatherized home. The program allowed the city to replace duct work, update the AC, install new cellulous insulation and install shade screens, a new gas range and hood and CFL bulbs throughout the home. The best news of all is that they will cut their monthly electricity bill by up to 40%! That will have a truly positive impact on their monthly budget. I am also happy to report that to date, four positions have been added and there are two to four more to come with the administration of the program. In addition, countless numbers of contractors and construction workers will be employed throughout the program. I congratulate city staff for being leaders in the weatherization program, as the first city in the country to implement its program. Together, we've been working to secure the stimulus funds from Washington, DC, and use the expertise that our team has developed in sustainability over the past decades to create programs like this one that benefit our neighbors. This means more energy savings for the city of Phoenix, and keeps us on track for making Phoenix the greenest city in the country!]]> 3961 0 0 0 1526 http://lewissblog.123log.de/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/08/27/mayor-gordons-blog-public-safety-panel/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:00:27 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3969 I am back in Phoenix after a quick yet quite busy trip to Washington, DC, earlier this week, where I was asked to participate in a panel focused on public safety by the White House and the Attorney General. The city of Phoenix police department has demonstrated significant success in combating and reducing gang-related crime, and in partnering with other agencies to make our community safe. These programs, in fact, have been so successful that our city is considered a model city for public safety that other cities across the nation seek to emulate. The panel discussion provided me with the opportunity to showcase the "best practices" of our department, particularly those involving partnering with other agencies that have resulted in executing thousands of warrants, winning thousands of felony indictments and arresting thousands of dangerous and violent people engaging in drug trafficking, gun smuggling, drug smuggling, human smuggling and kidnapping. We have also kept millions of dollars from flowing from the United States to Mexico — and we have kept our focus on the worst of the worst. Thanks to this opportunity I was also able to demonstrate the importance that Phoenix and our public safety programs continue to receive ARRA funding — we clearly put the money to good use, and have established a track record for making our community and nation safer.]]> 3969 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/08/27/adobe-home-north-garfield-historic-district/ Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:01:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=3972 Great opportunity for a historical home enthusiast to own an adobe home in Downtown Phoenix.

During the press conference, which took place at the Roosevelt/Central station (aka "Arts District" station), Mesa Vice Mayor and METRO Board Vice Chairman Kyle Jones boasted that Mesa's lone stop at Main and Sycamore is the busiest of any of the rail stations, much to the chagrin of Phoenix Vice Mayor and METRO Board Chairman Tom Simplot. (Simplot argued that 19th and Montebello, the line's "first" station, is by far the busiest.) Though fisticuffs didn't ensue, a staged challenge between the Mesan and the Phoenician was presented: During September, if Mesa's line proves to indeed be the busiest, Simplot will personally maintain the station's appearance. The same goes for Jones and the Montebello station. Game on! While these shenanigans play out, there's business to attend to. Specifically, local business. Downtown has stations that need neighborhood sponsors. Here are my suggestions. Let me know what you want.

• Camelback/Central station: There's a cluster of great, quirky business on the northwest corner of this intersection. Stinkweeds, Frances, Smeeks, Red Hot Robot: I'm looking at you guys.
• Campbell/Central station: It's not like Lux or Pane Bianco need the press, but you can't deny that these two spots bring vibrancy to this intersection. I'd be fine with Lux baristas pouring cappuccinos, then running outside to sweep up debris from last night's storm.
• Indian School/Central station: I guess the fight club/storage facility got demolished. So, that's out. How about Steele Indian School Park? It's one of the city's biggest parks, yet one of its hidden gems.
• Osborn/Central station: Tossup between Phoenix Country Club and Encanto Park. Golfing downtown, anyone?
• Thomas/Central station: The hospital will probably win out here. Either that or Phillips and Associates. They're everywhere.
• Encanto/Central station: We need the Heard to take this, right?
• McDowell/Central station: I'd prefer Thai Hut take this. Can we somehow make this happen?
• Roosevelt/Central station: The obvious answers here would be NBC 12, Fair Trade Café or Portland's. But, how about Portland Place lofts, with several units in escrow and a bankrupt developer, getting its name out there? Any advertising would help!
• Van Buren/Central and Van Buren/1st Avenue stations: I'm sure Michael Crow already put in his bid.
• Washington/Central and Jefferson/Central: Hello, CityScape.
• Washington/3rd Street and Jefferson/3rd Street: The Phoenix Suns are going to need as much money coming in as possible this season with the way things are looking. Take that into consideration, Robert Sarver.

Anyone have any other thoughts?

My quest this week was to find the holy grail of summer drinks, the Picoso, a muddled highball concoction of tequila, pineapple, fiery jalapeño and citrus. The Clarendon Hotel was my destination, as it is the harbor for the new Gallo Blanco Café, home of this delectable summertime treat. You can imagine my hesitance in going to an old hotel to eat at a place named after a farm animal. I do know of the Clarendon’s penchant for all things hip, with its rooftop bar and frequent pool parties. So, my worries aside, I bellied up to the dimly lit, stylish Gallo Blanco bar. Once my lovely, Manchester-born waitress delivered my cup of golden delight, it was love at first sip. Bursting with juicy pineapple and ripe with blanco tequila, the refreshment was instant. Yet, after the first sip, I am shocked with a burn and a shiver. As crazy as it sounds, I have just been attacked, unprovoked, by a renegade jalapeño. This assassination attempt has been cloaked in the array of seasonal fruit and citrus juices. Even more surprising is how that little punch of heat makes this drink even more seductive. It made me wonder if they would charge me a night’s lodging to hold this stool down while I order just a few more. Gallo Blanco Café is located at 401 W. Clarendon Ave. 602.274.4774]]> 4025 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/01/radiate-phoenix-citys-future/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:20:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4036 Searching. Changing. Transitional. Even hot. These were the chosen descriptions of today's Phoenix at last week's Radiate Phoenix event. The objective is to find out if these descriptions will change in the coming years. Those interested in the future of the city of Phoenix met at Hanny's last week to mingle with city planners in attempts to gauge what will happen here over the next 40-odd years. The city is in its beginning stages of planning how to focus its efforts for the next decade and beyond. What's so special about that? This time the city is looking to the residents to find out how to focus these efforts. As expected, those in attendance had beaming, positive things to say about Phoenix along with an ever-growing list of gripes. Though much was said, some overall themes evolved throughout the night. Here is what the city of Phoenix needs to focus on in the years ahead:

• Small, unique business helps to define neighborhoods. Downtown has transitioned toward this movement in recent years, but other parts of the city need to become more involved.
• Continue to support the local art community. It has grown by leaps and bounds since the last city plan in 2000.
• Model Phoenix after European cities, or even East Coast cities such as Washington, DC. Mid-rise structures and urban infill have created a strong sense of community in these places.
• Allow Phoenix's natural elements to shine: Encourage use of city parks and canals. Civic Space Park is a great starting point for urban parkspace.
• Most Phoenicians have easy access to freeways in 2009. The city must make sure plans are implemented for this to be true in 2050 as well, despite massive projected growth.
• Continue to promote alternate transportation options. Light rail will grow in the coming years. METRO's bus system, paired with trolley service and various shuttle services, help people move around town. Continued additions of bike lanes on city streets are also welcomed.
• Preserve Phoenix's historic districts. Growth of the city has threatened these areas in recent years.
• Respect our habitat in the desert and make wise energy decisions. The Green Phoenix initiative is a starting point.
• Rezoning Downtown for higher density. The residents are starting to come, but how spread out will they be?
• Focus on establishing the identities of its newer neighborhoods, both near the city core and points further out.
• Establish a citywide vision that is actually followed for the duration of this next general plan.

The city will spend the next few months establishing the most pressing issues to focus on for this general plan. Stay tuned to DPJ for further updates as they unfold.

Deckert saw potential in the wide expanses, open-air feel and heavy foot traffic at the intersection while he was working as a bartender at Rose and Crown. "As an artist, I want to make meaningful statements through my art that change the way people think," says Deckert, who moved to Phoenix two years ago following an upbringing in the Midwest. "Organizing an art-driven event like an artwalk would be a more immediate and proactive way to show people my ideas and also expose them to the Downtown that I see." The result is an outdoor gallery space that aims to feature all artistic mediums while seamlessly integrating with the historic buildings of the park. This First Friday will be the grand opening of the gallery, and with blistering temperatures expected to subside (somewhat), it's the perfect time to showcase artwork outdoors. "I moved here to get into the art scene," Deckert says. "I see so much potential in my neighborhood, and it gives me the motivation and passion to volunteer my help to strengthen the community." In time, Heritage Square's outdoor gallery space will connect with Roosevelt Row proper, thanks to continued expansion of art displays in the blocks north of the park. Heritage Square is located on the northwest corner of 7th Street and Adams Street. For more information on Sean Deckert, visit his website.

Nearly six years later, those remain our priorities. And, it’s no accident that I always list public safety first. That’s why last week was particularly gratifying for our community. On Monday, I was invited by the White House and the Attorney General to come to Washington and talk about the great successes of the Phoenix Police Department. In several important areas, our department is considered a model for the rest of the nation. This time, we were proud to discuss our strategies for fighting gangs and gang-related crime, and for partnering with other agencies to maximize both scarce resources and our desired results. Fighting gang activity and the related violent crimes is important and expensive. It’s the cost of intelligence; the cost of equipment; the cost of hiring new officers; the cost of overtime; the cost of undercover operations that continue for months and, sometimes, years; and it's the cost of surveillance planes. Fighting these dangerous, well-armed criminals is not like rounding up day laborers or chasing nickel bags. They are expensive and sophisticated operations that require an expensive and sophisticated response. That’s why we have been leaders in forming creative partnerships — and pioneering creative programs to fight these international criminals. And, we’ve had tremendous successes and significant results. Partnering with DEA, the Border Patrol, FBI, ATF, the U.S. Attorney, the U.S. Postal Inspectors and state and local agencies, we have disrupted serious criminal activity. We have executed thousands of warrants, won thousands of felony indictments and arrested thousands of dangerous and violent people engaging in drug trafficking, gun smuggling, drug smuggling, human smuggling and kidnapping. We have kept millions of dollars from flowing from the United States to Mexico, and we have kept our focus on “the worst of the worst.” That is how we can be most effective at keeping our community and nation safe — by allocating our scarce resources where they have the greatest impact, and by partnering with others to effectively increase the resources available to us. After my day in Washington, I flew back to Phoenix and, just two days later, was pleased to participate in the announcement of yet another successful partnership. Together with the FBI Violent Street Gang Task Force, we announced the results of Operation Tri-Dent. Even before this operation, this task force has resulted in more than 300 felony arrests in the past year alone. And, since 1994, has been involved in the arrest and incarceration of more than 900 violent felons and the seizure of cash and tangible assets totaling more than $4.5 million. Last week, those numbers grew with the rounding up of nearly 100 violent gang members. That makes not only Phoenix safer, but also communities from coast to coast — because these criminals don’t respect national, state or city boundaries. And, the havoc that is sewn in one place can be felt in many places. That was on Wednesday. The very next day, the Phoenix Police Department announced its conclusion of the 2009 summer enforcement effort for the Operation Safe Street Task Force. Between June and August, the task force made 2,219 arrests, served 71 search warrants and seized 142 weapons, $100,000 in cash, 27 vehicles and drugs from cocaine to meth to marijuana to heroin. That really did make our streets safer. That was on Thursday. On Friday, I stood to thank the Phoenix Police Department, the county attorney’s office, the Department of Public Safety and neighborhood leaders from the Cactus Park area. Operation Eradication shows our continued effort in combating criminal activity in a specifically defined geographical area of the Cactus Park Precinct — bounded by 27th Avenue to the east, 35th Avenue to the west, Peoria Avenue to the north, and Northern Avenue to the south. In short, crime was up 6% in that area while, in the rest of the city, violent and drug crimes were DOWN 10%. Understanding that illegal drugs share a commonality with the proliferation of violent crime, the Drug Enforcement Bureau was solicited as a resource to assist in the establishment of an undercover operation that would identify violent offenders, career criminals and multi-housing unit owner/operators in support of illegal activity. The investigation phase was scheduled for 30 days, and resulted in 82 transactions involving 67 identified suspects. All cases were submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for prosecution. The success of this operation, again, was due to effective partnering. It’s not a new story for Phoenix, but it’s a story that is being told to a growing, national and global audience. It’s an effective and professional way to keep our community safe. Thanks to the Phoenix Police Department and those agencies and departments that partner with them, last week was a very bad week for the bad guys. Which is very good news for everyone else.]]> 4063 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/04/kids-block-bioscience-high-school/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:00:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4069 Phoenix Biomedical Campus, Bioscience is quickly forging a unique identity of its own and becoming an integrated part of the Downtown community. In the fall of 2006, Bioscience High School opened its doors at the Phoenix Prep Academy to 43 freshman, seven teachers, two staff and a principal. A year later, the school’s new building opened at the corner of 6th Street and Pierce. By 2008-09, enrollment grew to 180 students. This fall there are 253 students, including its first senior class that comprises all of the original 43 students. Next year, the school expects to achieve its full capacity of 400 students. According to Bioscience principal Dr. Deedee Falls, the aim of Bioscience High School is to work with students to “invent the future” by preparing students for jobs “that don’t yet exist” and to solve problems that “we don’t yet know about.” Judging by their early academic success, this approach is working well. In 2008, 97% of its 10th graders meet or exceed the AIMS math exam, which is the highest public (non-charter) school percentage in the Valley, and second best in the state. Its science scores were third best in the state among non-charter schools. Moreover, in its first two years of eligibility, the school earned two consecutive AZ Learns ‘Excelling’ Achievement Profiles from the state, the highest a school can attain. Even more impressive: Bioscience has achieved such outcomes with a high percentage of traditionally under-represented students. The school is part of the Phoenix Union High School District, but enrollment is open to all students in the Phoenix area; the main requirement is a passion for science. “Science is for everybody,” states Dr. Falls. “We give more weight to motivation than grades.” The composition of the student population illustrates this philosophy. Bioscience has one of the most diverse student bodies in Arizona, with 57% Hispanic, 11% African American, 6% Native American, 4% Asian and 21% Caucasian students. But, while they come from diverse backgrounds, their love of science has brought them together and forged a strong community dedicated to creating knowledge. The school’s Downtown location plays a role in its success. As part of the Phoenix Bioscience campus, the school is in immediate proximity of some of the most advanced scientific research organizations in the Valley, including TGen, Arizona Science Center, ASU Downtown and Phoenix College. Bioscience students benefit from this concentration of local scientific and academic resources through site visits, guest lectures and student internships. Bioscience’s connection to the Downtown community is not just limited to scientific collaboration. The school has also woven itself into the social fabric of Downtown as well. A great example of this has been the school’s involvement in First Fridays. Not only does the school rent out spaces in its parking structure to those participating in the monthly artwalk, but the students also set up a table to sell their own arts and crafts. Proceeds from these activities help fund school projects. Additionally, the school is paying respect to the history of its Downtown location. It has recently received a $2.4-million grant from the city of Phoenix to renovate the historic McKinley schoolhouse for a biomedical program. This site has been connected to education since 1902, when a school was built (the current building was completed in 1919). When complete in the fall of 2010, the renovated schoolhouse building will include administrative offices, classrooms, a library/community room and student demonstration area. The renovated facility will act as a historic foil to the modern architecture of the rest of the Bioscience campus. The renovations will maintain the schoolhouse’s green space along Pierce Street, acting as a pocket oasis for students and local residents alike. To find out more, contact Bioscience High School at 602-764-5600 or go to www.biosciencehs.org. The school is located at 512 E. Pierce Street.

Kizer graciously coordinated the idea to expose Arizona music in a unique way by bringing together numerous artists to cover each other's songs. The CD explores the different sounds of the Valley, ranging from alternative country to electronica. The genius behind the compilation is that it compels you to explore not only the original artist’s versions of the songs, but also the covering band's original work. If you aren't familiar with the local music scene, or aren't sure what is out there, this is a great way to be exposed to the vast musical talent Arizona has to offer. You get a real sense of community from these artists coming together to pay respect to each other, plus, it's for a great cause, as all proceeds will be donated to Valley nonprofit organizations that support music education in schools and around the community. Some of the Valley's most popular bands and up-and-coming artists have put their hearts into the compilation, which features nearly 3.5 hours of tunes. Be sure to pick up a copy for yourself at www.wheninaz.com or at one of the several CD release shows going on this month. The first show is this Friday, September 4, at Modified Arts starting at 9 p.m.  It's free for all ages, featuring artists Matthew Reveles, Stellaluna and Flyaway Tigers.

From my experience, it seems that many people have the misconception that Arizona is lacking when it comes to having an actual musical scene. Hopefully the release of the new When in AZ compilation can change their tune. When in AZ is the brainchild of Nick Kizer, a member of the Tempe band Babaluca, and features 55 Valley artists covering songs by other Arizona artists. The compilation is available for download for $8, and there will be several live events throughout September showcasing some of the contributing artists.

The compilation features a wide variety of local artists such as The Necronauts, Dry River Yacht Club, Andrew Jackson Jihad, FutureKind, Emperors of Japan and The Premiere. With such an eclectic mix of performers, the music styles presented are as varied as you would expect. The songs range from the folky to the funky, from the rocking to the electronic and everywhere in between. The compilation is put together in such a way that the styles are well dispersed throughout the track listing, and it flows well from one track to the next.

Not only does the compilation provide for great exposure for those involved — both those performing and those whose work is being performed — but it also benefits the community. Proceeds will benefit two nonprofits, Ear Candy and the Phoenix Conservatory of Music, whose mission is to provide musical education to children.

When in AZ shows are scheduled for September 4 and 5 at Modified Arts, September 10 at the Rhythm Room and September 18 at the Hard Rock Café. Check back with DPJ for recaps of each of these shows. ]]> 4077 0 0 0 972 0 0 969 http://tempeinmotion.com/2009/09/when-in-az-showcases-arizona-music/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/03/juno-delux-feel-pregnant/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 06:59:47 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4111 The Godfather? What's wrong with you?" "How is it possible that you missed Babette's Feast?" Well, I have decided to fix this problem once and for all. I'm going to work my way through my stack of  "never seen it" movies, and as an added bonus, I'm gonna pair each movie with a restaurant that helps set the mood for the film. Today's combo pack is Juno with Ellen Page and Michael Cera and high-end burger joint Delux.

Juno

I have been a big fan of Michael Cera since his days as George Michael Bluth on Arrested Development. In Juno, he plays true to type as a sort of shmendrik boyfriend to Ellen Page's teen mother. As the story goes, the two teens are best friends who eventually have sex, resulting in Juno becoming pregnant. The story of what to do with the unborn child, the awkward dynamic between the adoptive couple (played masterfully by Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), and the resolution of the relationship between the teen couple, makes for a fun and meaningful film. The story that unfolds is a real, honest, frank discussion of what life is. Because the movie presents a clear choice between having an abortion and putting up the child for adoption, it could be both hailed and jeered from people on both sides of the abortion debate. Some in the pro-life camp hailed the message that focused on Juno's choice to keep her baby, while  criticizing the movie's trivialization of the availability of an abortion. Those in the pro-choice camp could easily criticize the dreary portrayal of the prospect of an abortion and could criticize the movie's glorification of the choice to carry the baby. Ideologically I don't really fall neatly into either camp, and I appreciate the difficulty of dealing with the prospect of an unexpected pregnancy. Juno navigates these tough waters with a clever compassion. In the end, the celebration of life ends with the baby in the arms of a loving, albeit older, single mother and the teens push the reset button on their relationship. The moral of the story: Life is full of complicated decisions with tough consequences; we aren't always prepared to deal with those choices, and all we can do is to try our best to make the right decision. I am glad that I finally got around to seeing this movie. It is a fun, funny, life-affirming story with a clever script and is skillfully acted.

Delux

So, why did I pair Juno with Delux? One of the opening scenes famously features Juno talking to a friend on a hamburger phone. Naturally, when thinking of burger places in Phoenix, the first spot on my list is Delux Burger at 32nd Street and Camelback. Any review of Delux requires an obligatory mention of the Los Angeles landmark restaurant Father's Office, whose concept was all but completely plagiarized by Delux. I always say, though, it doesn't matter who came up with the idea, it matters who executes it. And, I like how Delux executes the concept. High-end burgers, delicious craft beer selection and great service in a cozy (and hip) location. Of course, I have to be the weirdo — I am also a vegetarian, so I can't have a burger anyway. Instead, I grabbed the amazing grilled cheese, which they grill panini-style, cut into quadrants. The baguette, as usual, was perfectly toasty, firm, yet chewy. There is a great variety of craft beers — everything from Alaskan Amber to Stone IPA. The service is always good, although this time our server was particularly flirty. He actually sat down with my dining companions and I to chit chat. It was charming and fun and certainly added to the fun (and enjoyment) of the meal. Another mandatory purchase at Delux is the fries — available in sweet potato, regular, or half and half. The fries are served in a mini shopping cart (familiar to anyone who has been to Father's Office). They are perfectly seasoned and served with a delicious aioli dipping sauce. Delux is a perfect place to have a sandwich and day drink on a warm afternoon, and I am looking forward to the temperature cooling off so I can waste a few Sundays there. And, of course, Delux is open till 2 a.m., so it is a great option for late nights as well. Hmm... I'm so stuffed after a delicious meal at Delux that I am feeling pregnant.

As you probably know, Green Phoenix is the program I kicked off in March, with the goal of making Phoenix the first carbon-neutral city in the nation. Much of our effort to attract stimulus dollars to Phoenix has been centered around the concepts of Green Phoenix and sustainability. The Greenbuild International Conference and Expo is huge — about 30,000 people are expected to attend. It will focus on concepts such as low-carbon development and affordable green housing, among many, many other topics. It's an exciting event and a perfect match for Phoenix.]]> 3966 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/07/counter-lindsay-cates-stinkweeds/ Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:00:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4016 Stinkweeds. Stinkweeds is an independently owned and operated music store and website dedicated to independent labels and bands. A Valley institution since 1987, Stinkweeds has been a fixture at the corner of Camelback and Central Avenue since 2004. While owner Kimber Lanning can often be found in and around the store, she relies on a committed staff to keep things humming. One of these people is store manager Lindsay Cates. Lindsay has been working at Stinkweeds for the past decade, and is also responsible for keeping stinkweeds.com up to date. When asked what she likes most about working at Stinkweeds, Lindsay doesn’t hesitate to mention Kimber, who she says is the ideal boss: positive and passionate with a contagious good attitude. Lindsay also cites working at an independent business and her customers as job perks. “It is awesome being able to engage with others about music,” Lindsay says. She sees many customers on a weekly, if not daily, basis and notes that the customers, staff and bands that frequent Stinkweeds are like family. “If a regular doesn’t come around for a while, we miss them,” she says. Lindsay eats, breathes and sleeps music. In addition to working at Stinkweeds, she is also the data entry guru behind SilverPlatter.info, a website dedicated to bringing Phoenicians the most comprehensive information about live music shows, venues and bands in the Valley. When Lindsay steps away from Stinkweeds her passion for music goes with her. She plays bass for several local bands, including Farewell Review, snow songs and Harcuvar. If she’s not working or on stage, Lindsay can be found at local music venues (especially the Rhythm Room), supporting as much live music as possible. On one of the odd days the Lindsay isn’t immersed in the local music community, she enjoys spending time at Downtown spots Copper Star Coffee, Conspire and The Lost Leaf. When asked where she likes taking visitors to Phoenix, Lindsay names her favorite new restaurant, Moira Sushi. Lindsay is a Phoenix native, who, like many people who grew up in the Valley, had long desired to leave. Over the past few years, however, she has changed her mind and is now excited to be part of the Downtown Phoenix community, noting, “Downtown Phoenix is becoming a destination, with new, exciting businesses opening up.” In addition, Lindsay is thrilled about the cross pollination of local businesses, such as how local coffee institution Lux plays music from Stinkweeds, and refers customers to the store to buy music they hear while enjoying a coffee. She acknowledges that Downtown Phoenix is still a work in progress, but encourages people to get out and participate in the Downtown community. “Getting around Downtown is easier than many people think,” says Lindsay, noting that by light rail, bicycle or walking, people have several options to get around and between the hubs that are developing along Roosevelt Row and near Central and Camelback. Lindsay can be found behind the counter at Stinkweeds,12 W.

Named after the eponymous residential neighborhood the restaurant borders directly to its south, St. Francis quietly opened its doors to humble fanfare. No splash, no glitterati, just come in and eat. Helmed by résuméd local chef Aaron Chamberlin, tenured by way of critically acclaimed restaurants in New York City, Washington, and San Francisco, as well as spots elsewhere in Phoenix (most notably La Grande Orange), St. Francis intends to pull its weight in a neighborhood full of growing potential. The restaurant itself sets up residence in a circa-1950s office building designed by architect Harold Eckman. Though completely transformed inside and out, the revamped, slick new structure still retains critical hints of its original, mid-century charms. St. Francis presents an interior well designed, modern and warm. Exposed (original?) brick walls exist throughout, seemingly unfussed, accented by strategic uplighting that brightens as nighttime approaches. The kitchen, though not unnecessarily exposed, is open, bright and efficiently located near the main entrance of the restaurant — providing an attractive bookend to diners’ experiences, entering and exiting. It displays a bustling kitchen brimming with sights, aromas and the controlled, hurried pace of a well-run operation. The main dining room is anchored by a long bar, fit equally for drinking or dining. Immediately behind the bar exists the restaurant’s trophy design feature: a towering, glass, two-level, garage-like door intended to be rolled up during Phoenix’s more agreeable weather months. Outside, an expansive, walled-in, gravel patio area presents itself for future usage as both an extension of the bar area, as well as outdoor dining, once the hotter weather subsides. Toward the rear of the main dining room is a staircase ascending to a second-level dining space. Though not open to patrons as of last night, the vaulted area floats over diners below like a balcony, trimmed with exposed wooden beams. The views alone from atop this space will guarantee it prime chow real estate when completely utilized. In addition to said views of dining hubbub below, vistas of area mountains exist in plain sight during daylight hours, with streaking lights of traffic, along a heavily traversed Camelback Road below, coming into play as the evening descends. In theme with a subdued opening, St. Francis is presenting a paired-down menu at the moment. It's a menu that we are told will soon grow to full presentation in the days and weeks to come. For a brand-new restaurant of this caliber (with such promised expectations), it is a very positive sign of their intentions to get things correct the first time. Foodwise, the main thread of St. Francis is solid American food with a rustic French sensibility, much of it prepared entirely in a wood-fired brick oven. Besides the more relaxed, even cooking the wood-burning method translates to, it also brings an added dimension of flavor to its respective dishes. Main entrées listed on the opening, interim menu include a pepper-crusted flat iron steak ($20), roasted pork chop with fresh corn polenta and a piquant whole-grain mustard sauce ($19), a roast chicken served with tomato, hummus and a cucumber salad ($17), as well as an intended house specialty, their take on a classic bouillabaisse, a hearty seafood stew with aromatic vegetables ($20). Appetizers include a sweet corn chowder ($6), baked goat cheese with a walnut pesto ($8) and a pile of crispy fingerling potatoes with lemon aioli for dunking ($6). An equally brief trifecta of salad offerings round out the starters — romaine hearts and summer vegetables tossed in a salty, tangy buttermilk dressing ($8); a forbidden “rice bowl,” with varied vegetables in a lemon soy dressing ($15); and a meal-sized wild salmon salad with beets, celery, herbs and crushed potatoes ($18). For the dessert minded, there is a summer fruit trifle ($7), warm “sticky” toffee pudding with gelato ($8) and strawberry meringues adorned with a finely aged balsamic ($7). Located where Midtown meets Uptown, St. Francis is at the cusp of a new upscale dining wave engulfing all corners of Central Phoenix. Serving well-intentioned, well-prepared eats in an atmosphere neither cloyingly modern or overtly pretentious, St. Francis seems like a restaurant both meant to exist in urban Phoenix, as well become a premier local bellwether of things yet to come in the world of intelligent upscale dining. St. Francis is located at 111 E.

Fences and walls mark much of the banks between private and public property, and some of the areas are hotspots for graffiti artists and high school students looking for a place to get high after school. And, this writer wouldn’t walk along them at night, period. Instead of dusty banks and miles of drab anti-landscape, Phoenicians would have a city that resembles Amsterdam or Venice along its canal banks, if Nan Ellin, Director of Canalscape, has anything to do with it. “Imagine restaurants and shops lining the canals, with homes and office space above them,” Ellin says. “There are lots of proposals to beautify the banks, and the essence of this project is creating vital hubs of activity along the canals.” Dedicated to incorporating the vibe of each neighborhood along the canals into sustainable corridors, Canalscape looks to designers, planners, architects and students to fully utilize the canal’s space for living, working and playing. In November, the group will host an exhibition of an artist, planner and architect on how to create these spaces. Ellin, who is also the Planning Program Director in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University, has been a Phoenix resident for 12 years and sees an urban city that fully utilizes the Valley’s miles of canals as the perfect combination of utility and beauty. Stunning cities like Venice are known worldwide for their well-planned and canal-centric designs, and she thinks it would only benefit Phoenix if a similar plan were to happen here. With increased business, visitors and residents, the economy would be stimulated and people would be aware of what was going on, keeping the areas along the canal safer. “With eyes on the canals, people who would go there and do illicit activity would go somewhere else,” Ellin says. Jim Duncan, senior analyst in water engineering at SRP, agrees that projects that create multi-use spaces along the canal have many positive improvements. “In terms of loitering and vagrancy and vandalism, most of that goes away when these projects go in,” Duncan says. “And, there’s usually far less trash and litter.” SRP, which owns and manages the canal system, drains the canal one section at a time for maintenance and cleaning once a year. The draining generally occurs in the fall and winter when water demand is generally lower, according to John Keane, SRP’s senior environmental scientist. With SRP’s main obligation being water flow, he added that they’ll do special trash retrievals if collecting trash impedes the canal's current. Municipalities and other groups around the Valley have or are currently working with SRP on projects that would enhance the areas along the canal banks. The cities of Phoenix, Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale and Tempe are working on projects that would include sprucing up walkways and installing benches and lighting along the canals. “The canals became an increasingly single-use system. If you find a way to expand systems beyond their basic need, there’s a lot of public benefit to that,” says Edward Lebow, Phoenix Public Art Director. “Canals are a priority for the percent-for-art program. You have this beautiful system of infrastructure that delivers water to the Valley. And, as the city has urbanized, these corridors have become more important and significant.” Ellin believes residents need to take a celebratory approach to water in the Valley. “We’re only here because of the water,” she says. “We need to turn towards it and embrace it.” The canals are at once a blend of urban inspiration and urban sprawl, both refreshing and depressing. To be sure, water in Arizona is a great thing, and the number one reason any of us are able to call Phoenix home. Some areas along the canal are beautiful, yet some are desperately not. As these projects move forward, more Downtown Phoenicians will have designed places close to home to escape vehicle-clogged streets and appreciate the waterfront.

I heard there was a limited menu during this soft-opening week, meaning I would only have four entrée choices, so I was a wee bit skeptical. Plus, I don’t normally take kindly to some dude offering “complimentary” valet service. I’m perfectly capable of parking my own car. Been doing it for years. Once inside the completely transparent door, I felt like I had walked into the one of the poshest mid-century structures ever. I mean, they have one the craziest sink contraptions I have ever witnessed. But I digress. I selected the pepper-crusted flat iron steak. It came with all kinds of crazy green, white and brown stuff (translation: charred broccoli and crispy potatoes cooked to wood-fired perfection in a red wine reduction) that accented this medium-rare delight, and had me swabbing my plate repeatedly. The pepper was strong, but not dominant enough to detract at all from this savory, sliced beef. The entire plate was too good to pass up — any part of it. I cleaned that sucker up just like my mama taught me. I have to say, if this is how St. Francis dishes it out in a limited opening, my Southern bum will be squeaking through the door a lot more often. St. Francis is located at 111 E. Camelback Road (one block east of Central/Camelback light rail station) and will be debuting its full menu shortly. 602.200.8111.

Scottsdale, AZ 5-star rating 8/22/2009 Ok, I'm pretty much cheese obsessed. I love it. Can't get enough of it. Doesn't mean I'm an expert though. With the limited resources in AZ, haven't gotten the education I need. If Murray's Cheese from New York was here, I'd be broke by now but I'd be a cheese expert. So I'd been looking very forward to the opening of Petit Fromage. I would have been there opening day but the family returned from Oz that afternoon & it just wasn't possible.  We finally hit it today (a week late). In the interim, I'd heard mixed things.  I did hear that the selection wasn't that huge and it was pretty much 1 case of cheese. So I went in with an open mind but not expecting Murray's (which is good). I left way, way more excited than I expected. Speaking with Lara Hardwick, she DEFINITELY knows her cheese. It turns out she's been supplying some of the top restaurants in town for some time.  Found out we have eaten her cheese multiple times when we visited Binkley's (one of our favorites). From what I  understand she has been supplying them for some time along with other fine restaurants in town. So walking into Delicious Dishes, we found the Petit Fromage section. It is one case. But after talking with Lara and sampling numerous cheeses, I was so not let down. I found that she specializes in artisan American cheeses. Cool. That is definitely not a population that I have targeted nor do I know much about it. I tried a host of cheeses and found many remarkable. We ended up leaving with the 2 featured cheeses, Smoky blue cheese from Central Point, OR and Beemster XO, an aged Gouda from Beemster Holland. I already love blue and aged Gouda so I'm not surprised I would love them. I hadn't heard of either but thought they were fabulous and am so looking forward to cracking into them. Another standout for me was Mahón (a cow's milk cheese from the island of Menorca, Spain with sharp, lemony, salty flavors). I also absolutely loved an intense blue cheese that I think was called Azul something or other. I also quite enjoyed trying the unsalted and salted goat butters. I'm already excited to return. I am confident that I will consistently find new and interesting cheese there and will learn a great deal from Lara. If you are at all into cheese, you must get to Petit Fromage. Don't be let down at the first appearance of the single case (which is no bigger than something AJ's or Whole Foods might have). Engage Lara and put yourself into her hands. It is truly exciting to have someone here in town who knows and loves cheese, is quite ready to let you sample the case and that will help you learn and find just what you like.

As the music continued on, more people wandered in and out to catch a glimpse of who was on stage. With each band that played offering a different sound, it was exactly what Nick Kizer, organizer of the compilation, envisioned it to be. In between the Stellaluna and Matthew Reveles sets, Nick Kizer and Renee Saxon from the Phoenix Conservatory of Music stepped on stage to say a few words about the project itself. The true vision for the compilation is to support the arts and provide funds to such charitable organizations as PCM and Ear Candy, both nonprofit organizations doing the best they can to provide music education to children. Many people were on hand volunteering their services to sell merchandise and collect donations as the night went on. With Matthew Reveles winding the evening down, a sense of accomplishment was felt throughout Modified. If we continue to support and nurture the talent we have, Phoenix will become a music mecca.

Babette's Feast

A movie that is built around food as a metaphor for spiritual development — what's not to like? Babette's Feast is a 1987 Danish film (English subtitles) that focuses on the lives of two sisters named Martina and Philippa (after two leading Protestants, naturally) who live in a deeply religious community that was once led by their father, who has now passed away. In their sunset years, they care for an aging congregation in a grey village on the coast of Jutland. The film opens with the sisters singing hymns and feeding the elderly and sick with the help of their servant, Babette. In a series of flashbacks, we see the sisters' young lives as suitors are rebuffed in favor of their pious faith. Some of the courting scenes reminded me painfully of Pride and Prejudice. In fact, I was doing doing research in my Danish-English dictionary so I could recognize the words for "Oh, Mr. Darcy" just in case. The film's incorporation of a number of hymns with especially relevant themes, like God's provision and the hope of a heavenly paradise, is brilliant in not only setting the tone, but also in foreshadowing the profound experience at the end of the film. The elderly congregants have begun to quarrel as they approach the 100th birthday of their founder when a letter from Paris arrives. Babette discovers that she has won 10,000 francs in the lottery, and to celebrate, she puts on an elaborate feast. She assembles the best ingredients from France while drawing the suspicion of the community as she brings in rare delicacies like a giant turtle and a cage full of quail. Not wanting to appear worldly or to make themselves susceptible to witchcraft, the community vows to eat the meal, but not to speak about the food or drink as they eat. As course after course of the most amazing food they have ever tasted is placed before them, they try desperately not to mention the food. Only the general, a guest who is not in on the agreement to ignore the food, is able to vocalize his pleasure with the stunning feast. As the meal continues, the quarrels between those around the table are forgotten, and old loves are rediscovered. The feast was, in the words of the general, "a love affair that made no distinction between bodily appetite and spiritual appetite." Only in the end do the sisters realize the extent of Babette's sacrifice, as she has spent her entire fortune on the meal she prepared for them, and is once again penniless. The interaction between the sisters was portrayed skillfully. They complete each other's sentences just as you would expect them to do after living together for so many years. The film perfectly contrasted the grey, drab hues of the sisters' village with the bright colors of the feast. The story was full of symbol, nuance and truth. I can't believe that I waited this long to see this masterpiece, but I now understand why so many people I respect love this film so dearly. The bigger message of the film, as highlighted in the Eucharistic banquet at the climax, is that sometimes pleasure and beauty can be sacrificial ends in themselves. Appreciating and enjoying beauty can be just as important to one's growth as self-denial and sacrifice. Truth is truth, no matter how it chooses to reveal itself.

Chad's Feast

I have spent most of my adult life with a severe aversion to cooking. I just never seemed to be able to get it right. I couldn't cook steak without getting it tough and rubbery; I couldn't stir fry vegetables without producing a mushy, nasty mess. I was inspired, though, by a recipe that I heard about on NPR. It is a recipe for a Chilean dal. Yes, dal, the classic South Asian lentil dish, but with a South American twist. The first time I decided to make this dal, I went to my local Sprouts and bought all of the ingredients. I took the onions, tomatoes and cilantro and dutifully put them in the refrigerator, but sadly never got around to making anything. Slowly the tomatoes went bad, the potatoes rotted in the pantry, and the cilantro turned into a nasty goo that reminded me of rancid baby food peas. I decided to give myself another chance. I bought another round of ingredients, and this time I made the dish while two of my dear friends were at yoga class. As the final product simmered on the stove, I took a taste. It seemed pretty good to me, but I have a knack for not being able to appropriately judge my own creations. I let myself presume that it was a decent meal, and moved on. Then, the yoga boys came home. They smelled the spicy tomato aroma and just started digging in to the pan with the first spoons they could get their hands on until they were scraping the nonstick coating off the bottom. Apparently I had gotten the flavor of the dish just right, even though I had no idea if anyone else would even find it edible. Sure, it was not turtle soup imported from Paris, but it was a reminder of how food can bring the best out of us and remind us why we matter so much to each other.]]> 4308 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/14/bearded-truth-vote-local/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:30:57 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4325 — Richard M.

Faithful readers of DPJ know full well that the people behind this site are huge fans of shopping and eating local. If you haven't tried it out for yourself sometime (shopping or eating local, that is), peruse the site a bit to find ways to "put your money where your house is."

But, eating and shopping are just two ways in which we can become more local as consumers. How else? Well, by reading this right now you have become a consumer of hyperlocal newsmedia. How about another way? Politics.

I am fairly politically minded. Some of you are questioning my understatement. But, no matter, I shall press on. Today, a tip on going green this election season.

While the national elections are exciting, and monopolize most water cooler conversations and chain emails, I find the real excitement of politics when the issues are close to home. Yes, even elections are going local.

The President is the most powerful person on earth, sure. But what our local elected officials do, say and pursue affects us on a daily basis. I challenge you to invest a little time this election season in local politics. Spend as much time researching your local sheriff, state representative and proposition decisions as you do for your presidential and other national choices. Go ahead, I triple dog dare you.

That's a little piece from a post I wrote during the election cycle last year, but it carried a new relevance last week. Phoenix City Council districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 all had elections. Average voter turnout was 15.51%. That means out of seven people, six couldn't care less. This is appalling. As I argued a year ago, the people who really impact your daily life are right here ON Washington — not IN Washington (both City Hall and the State Capitol have Washington street addresses). Don't believe me? The Treasury Department recently reported a $1.38-trillion deficit for the fiscal year to date. Conversely, we have a $3 billion deficit in the state of Arizona. Relatively, the state's deficit is a drop in the bucket, but in reality it hits harder. Reductions in essential services are no longer headline news, public and state parks are closing and school funding is getting slashed. State officials are even considering selling off the State Capitol. In the four city council districts that voted two weeks ago, more than 305,000 people are registered to vote. But, only 47,000 actually did. Sounds like the residents of Phoenix need to sign up for a different kind of local movement. Come on, don't you want to reduce your political carbon footprint?]]> 4325 0 0 0 1021 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/14/downtown-voices-coalition/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:22:22 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4333 Downtown Voices Coalition (DVC). Formed as a result of a 2004 summit of Downtown stakeholders, the coalition has been working behind the scenes to ensure the continued growth of the core based upon existing local resources. Coalition members are unabashedly dedicated to supporting the local, independent business owner over the big-box developer or out-of-town corporation. They are strong advocates for existing Downtown neighborhoods and residents, the arts community and the unique historic properties throughout Downtown Phoenix. These are interests that DVC feels have been lost in the rush to redevelop the core. In the words of Steve Weiss, Chair of DVC, “If not us, then whom?” While DVC has been criticized in the past as being an insular group catering to like-minded people, this is due largely to the fact that the group is more interested in acting than promoting itself. And, these volunteers have indeed been busy. On any given issue affecting Downtown Phoenix, you will find DVC working with other community groups, meeting with city leaders, speaking at zoning hearings and serving on city committees. Some recent issues it has been involved in include extending the weekend hours for light rail, pushing for shade structures at the new ASU nursing building and saving the Sun Mercantile building (the last remaining historic Chinese-America building in Downtown) from a “façade-ectomy” that would have destroyed much of its authenticity. Despite the criticisms, DVC has been promoting its monthly meetings and publishing its agendas and minutes on its website for some time. Anyone who is interested in Downtown Phoenix is encouraged to attend and participate in DVC's monthly meetings, held the second Saturday of every month, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Roosevelt Commons meeting room. Each month they cover a variety of issues related to Downtown, and often feature guest speakers and other community groups. For example, during the September meeting, the 20 or so people in attendance heard from Kimber Lanning of Local First Arizona about the city’s adaptive reuse task force that is looking at ways to simplify the process of adapting existing buildings for new purposes. Lanning also talked about Local First’s upcoming 10% Shift campaign that will ask Arizonans to shift 10% of their current spending from national chains to local businesses. This change is estimated to create thousands of new jobs throughout the state while stimulating billions of dollars of new economic activity. Check back with DPJ for future news on both of these issues. Next up on the September agenda was Carol Johnson from the City of Phoenix Planning Department, who was invited to update the coalition on the planned Jackson Street Entertainment District and the Downtown Urban Form guidelines. She also talked about the city’s general plan update, which is getting underway this fall. This year’s theme is “Imagine Phoenix in 2050 — What Do You See?” and will involve extensive public consultation at a series of public meetings to be held throughout the city between October 2009 and June 2010. To keep informed of the process, including upcoming meetings, residents are encouraged to join the PlanPhx mailing list or follow its Twitter feed. Also discussed at the meeting was a follow up to the April 2004 summit. This event resulted in a document that outlined many of the priority issues that the coalition has been addressing over the past five years. Given all that has changed in and around Downtown since 2004, it was thought that it was time to hold another community event. Planning is still in its early stages, but DVC is exploring locations and dates for an early December event. Stay tuned for more details as they become available. Other business that was discussed included an overview of the upcoming Park(ing) Day activities in Downtown Phoenix on Friday, September 18; a brief introduction to an ASU project to create infill development in Downtown Phoenix; and a discussion of the economic and community impacts of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport’s contract renewals. Overall, the meeting certainly lived up to its billing as a lively discussion of issues that matter to Downtown Phoenix. The next meeting will occur on October 10. The Roosevelt Commons meeting room is located at 825 N. 6th Ave.]]> 4333 0 0 0 1017 0 0 1027 http://www.yuriartibise.com/downtown-phoenix-journal/dpj-article-inside-downtown-voices-coalition/ 0 0 1019 1017 137 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/15/dpj-yelper-week-melinda-sage/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:22:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4381 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 07/19/2009 I love the atmosphere of this place. Definitely somewhere you can find something very special if you look hard enough. I popped in to check on Lani from Olive Annie (sadly she had to close and has her inventory at Sage until it's gone). I had been in before and picked up some cute vintage signs. It's antiques but with a bit of a twist - lots of European salvage type stuff. If  I had more money to spend I'd probably redo my bedroom. Since I am not rollin in it at the moment my purchase was a Mer-made peace sign necklace from Lani's inventory at 50% - a total steal. If you love vintage, retro, European style, I would recommend Sage for an hour of treasure hunting. Sage is located at 335 W. McDowell Road.

While perusing the signature-laden menu, I felt the urge to enjoy something truly unique. Lucky for this old soul, the wait staff was more than kind to point my hankerin’ stomach towards the Sorrel. I’m going to be honest, when this deep purple something landed on the table, the air was instantly overwhelmed with ginger. Not a bad thing, but it was so thick that my mind instantly thought of Granny’s potpourri nestled in a crystal kitty cat jar. With images like that racing through my mind, I asked for a menu to figure out if I had gotten some voodoo, geriatric medicine drink. This crazy, dark concoction is wildly concocted with ginger (of course), Appleton Estates Jamaican rum, pimento and house-brewed hibiscus tea. Let me tell you, ladies and gents, this thing packs a spicy mule kick of flavor. Each sip is readily brimming with pulpy flavor and feels like it is topping your stomach off. I had to ask some friends to help me drink it since it filled and warmed my belly so much. That might be one of the few must-try drinks in town. Ya mon… I mean, ya’ll.

Standing out front, one can see the varied colors and rooftops of Paisley Town, and though it's just a block away, it seems like a million miles. The Tilt, with its mangy exterior of funky-colored beams, white brick and ever-glowing accent lights, is the perfect setting for a display of Angela Franks Wells' work. In stark contrast, Wells' prints — all in black, white and copper — mellow the space the likes most art couldn't. The collection, called "Parts & Labor," focuses on the dirty, rugged profession of Midwestern tradition: skilled labor. Raised by a mechanic and a machinist, Wells, who has shot and taught photography in the Valley for years, knows a thing or two about hard labor. And, the aged hands, tattered clothes, oil-slicked furniture and old engine parts depicted here tell the story well. Wells traveled to independent shops of skilled laborers — mechanics, plumbers, welders and construction contractors — in search of these scenes and the tired souls that occupy them. Portrayed in copper-plated photogravure and gelatin silver prints, the testament to hard work comes through in eerie depiction. When you leave the Tilt this Third Friday, you'll appreciate that beer down the street at the Paisley Violin a bit more. The Tilt Gallery is located at 919 W. Fillmore St. 602.716.5667. Open 6-9 p.m. Third Friday.]]> 4455 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/16/opening-urban-grocery-wine-bar/ Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:52:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4462 Phoenix Public Market’s new Urban Grocery & Wine Bar is nearing reality. Currently taking shape inside the historic red-brick warehouse facing Pierce Street, directly adjacent to the outdoor market, the new full-service Downtown grocery store will provide the neighborhood (and city) a more permanent, thoughtful destination for locally sourced, organic foods. Cindy Gentry, Executive Director of Community Food Connections, the local organization behind both the Public Market and the Urban Grocery, speaks about their newest endeavor with great pride. “If you love our outdoor market, you will love this place,” she gushes. “We wanted to create a real place, with real food. A place tied to the local community.” Gentry goes on to point out that the market will exist as more than just simply a permanent, physical anchor for the biweekly Public Market — it will complement it. “We are looking forward to offering a larger selection of certain foods like meats, cheeses and other perishables,” she says. Intending to be open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. initially, the new Urban Grocery will also become not only the first full-service grocery store to open Downtown in at least the past quarter-century, it will also be one of the only such grocers to offer food selections largely locally sourced. The renovated interior itself is as cavernous as it is quaint, with careful consideration to original architectural features being not merely preserved, but enhanced. Such notable elements include an airy, bow-trussed, vaulted ceiling that highlights the structure’s sturdy wooden support beams overhead, as well as the building’s original masonry surrounding in full, unadorned exposure. Besides a wider selection of local produce, baked goods and previously mentioned perishables like dairy products and meats, a major component of the indoor grocery will be the Market Café, a grab-and-go counter offering patrons prepared items like sandwiches, salads, soups and other sides. Once a planned side patio is completed this fall after subsequent construction plans materialize, said takeaway foods will be available for eating on site. The Urban Grocery will sell a rotating selection of beer and wines, the latter of which will become a primary focus of the grocery, with a dedicated wine-tasting area offering samples of varied wines to try, as well as purchase by the glass. In an effort to further stimulate bright ideas and innovation in the local food landscape, there will also be a commercial kitchen and meeting area located in a sectioned, private space toward the rear of the building. Besides facilitating certain small, food-related events, it will act as an incubator of sorts for fledgling local food organizations and respective entrepreneurs trying to develop new products and or get their related businesses off the ground. Last but most definitely not least, probably one of the more high-profile components of the new indoor Urban Grocery will be the addition of Royal at the Market, a tiny, stylish coffee shop brought to us by some of the same principals behind the respected Royal Coffee Bar on Jackson Street. Expect the same self-roasted, hand-pressed coffee, along with a careful assortment of baked goods both homemade and locally selected. The tiny coffee bar will exist in a connected space within the grocery store, but will also have an individual side entrance for visiting patrons during the main store’s off-hours. Optimistic about the new Urban Grocery’s progress, as all of the finishing touches (and required permits) fall into place, Gentry is hoping for an official opening sometime during the second or third week in October. Moving along at a slightly faster pace, Royal at the Market is shooting for a quiet, individual debut sometime sooner, possibly in the next week or two. Stay tuned for updates.

So, it's only fitting that a festival has popped up in its honor. Enter the Grand Avenue Festival, a celebration of all things Grand. Set for Saturday, September 26, this all-day affair will give attendees the complete Grand Avenue experience: lots of free live music, art exhibits, historic building tours and more. At the heart of Grand's revival is its art spaces, and fittingly, they'll all be open for passersby. Fifteen artist studios in all will be open to the public from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.: Jordre Studio (1007 W. Grand Ave.), The Lodge Art Studio (1231 W. Grand Ave.), Lucky Rabbit Studio (1020 W. Grand Ave.), Studio of Jen Urso & Christy Puetz (1341 W. Woodland Ave.), Studio of Lee Berger (PHiX) (1113 W. Grand Ave.), the ambient studio (1023 W. Grand Ave.), Deus Ex Machina Gallery (1023 W. Grand Ave.), Phoenix Fall Space (1023 W. Grand Ave.), Studio 8 (1301 W. Grand Ave.), Moderncat Studio (1301 W. Grand Ave.), Barry Sparkman Studio (1301 W. Grand Ave.), Brad Konick Sculpture Studio (701 N. 15th Ave.), R. Booker Studio (701 N. 15th Ave.), Chris Caufield Studio and Trillion Clarke Studio (701 N. 15th Ave.). Adaptive reuse is a key element to the revitalization of Grand, and the Grand Avenue Festival plans to celebrate that fact with adaptive reuse tours throughout the morning. The tours begin at the Tilt Gallery (919 W. Fillmore St.) and visit Jordre Studios, Paisley Town (1028 W. Grand Ave.), the Motley Design Building (1114 W. Grand Ave.), Arnold's Auto Body Shop (1209 W. Grand Ave.) and the old Bragg's Pie Factory building (1301 W. Grand Ave.), which has recently started housing several art spaces and Sapna Café. The tour costs $10 (the only paying event at the festival!) and is scheduled for 8, 9:30 and 11 a.m. Tickets are available at the Tilt Gallery. Live music will start at 4 p.m. and carry on until at least midnight, with an impressive lineup of great local acts taking various spots along Grand: the PHiX, Sweets & Beats (1504 W. Grand Ave.), Rockin' A (1209 W. Grand Ave.) and the Loft. Check for a full schedule of tunes the day of the festival. To celebrate Grand's budding boutique hub status, three fashion shows will take place: A recycled wearables show at 5 p.m. at Bragg's Pie Factory, a local boutiques show at 7 p.m. at Bragg's Pie Factory and a "BoHo Haute Hippie Movement" (guess we'll have to attend to figure out what that is exactly) show at 8:30 p.m. at Soul Invictus (1022 W. Grand Ave.). On top of all of this, expect demonstrations, quirky gifts for sale, tons of free acoustic tunes and even free snow cones! For fans of Grand and newcomers alike, this is a great opportunity to experience the other art row Downtown. Parking is available along Grand's side streets, or you could huff it from the light rail station at Van Buren and Central/1st Ave and head west to Grand.]]> 4533 0 0 0 1125 0 0 1126 http://www.siwrites.com 1125 21 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/18/smooth-crema-royal-market/ Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:31:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4543 Royal Coffee Bar, the equally slick Downtown coffee pioneer at 2nd Avenue and Jackson Street. The inertia behind Royal at the Market breaks down to Hayes McNeil and Christoph Kaiser, co-owners and principals of hip local architecture firm Plus Minus Studio. Though Kaiser is newer to the Royal fold, McNeil provides the link to the original outpost on Jackson St., co-owning that as well, with his brother-in-law Vince Huizar. Known affectionately by Kaiser as the “coffee aficionado,” McNeil’s knowledge and expertise in what ultimately translates into an incredible cup of java is a primary reason for the original Royal’s success since opening a few years back. “This will be a handmade space,” McNeil asserts, referring to Royal at the Market. “We roast all of our own coffee. Each cup is individually made using lever-pulled machines — you can’t just press a button and be done with it.” At the new shop — registering in at a confined size of just under 200 square feet — Royal loyalists can expect the same distinctly sourced, self-roasted beans; cups all made to order; and varying selections of homemade baked goods prepared daily with equal dedication. Design wise, “handmade” presents itself in varied examples. First and foremost, there is the choice of wood used throughout. The flooring, the countertops, the shelving, the giant floor-to-ceiling sliding door used for expanding and contracting available customer seating space as needed — all of it made from wood originating from the flooring of old truck trailers dating back to the 1930s. “We thought it fitting, with the market and everything,” McNeil winks, alluding to the fact that the trucks in question were specifically used to transport produce and other agriculturally sourced cargo. Each and every plank of recycled wood was retreated and reconfigured to conform to its new digs. Another eclectic, high-brow design element exists with the lighting. Hanging above the main serving counter, a trio of black fixtures hold vintage (read: non-reproduction) Edison-era light bulbs — design touches also dating back to the early part of the last century. It is this continued juxtaposition between the “handmade” and new, modern and rustic, that permeates the space’s aesthetic. Royal at the Market initially intends to be open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, from early morning until 8 p.m. For customers visiting during the adjoining Urban Grocery’s off-hours, a separate side entrance exists along the building’s western façade. Optimistic, both McNeil and Kaiser confirm an official debut for the new coffee shop sometime within the next two weeks. It’s an opening planned to be individual of — and before — the upcoming Urban Grocery’s unveiling later in October.

I spent a solid 12 months of my life watching episodes of Arrested Development every single night as I fell asleep. I was very disappointed when I took the "Which Arrested Development Character Are You" Facebook quiz and wasn't Michael Bluth. I'm also a huge Mike Judge fan — I mean, I liked Office Space before liking Office Space was cool. Given my love for both of them, you could imagine my excitement when I saw the trailers for Extract, a film that was marketed as a sort of "Office Space in a factory." If I were hoping for something with the witty dialog and intellectual rigor of Office Space, then Extract would have left me disappointed. What I was hoping for was a fun, sassy romp with some great characters and clever antics, and I got that. Jason Bateman plays Joel Reynolds, an affable guy who invented a process for creating high-quality food flavorings (extracts) and has built a very successful business manufacturing them. He is in a dull marriage with his wife, played by Kristen Wiig of SNL fame. If you saw the trailer, you saw the funniest part of the movie already. Joel knows that he has to get home before 8 p.m. if he wants to sleep with his wife, because she puts on her sweatpants at 8, and after the sweat pants go on, he knows he isn't getting any action. He desperately tries to beat the clock to get home before 8, but his annoying neighbor, David Koeshner of The Office, just won't seem to stop talking long enough for Joel to get inside the house before the sweat pants go on. As he enters the house, we get a nice close up of an emasculating tug on the drawstrings of her sweatpants as he realizes he hasn't made it home in time. Emasculation is an ongoing theme in the film. When a worker at the factory, aptly named Step, loses his "boys" in an unfortunate workplace accident, a sultry con artist shows up at the factory to befriend the injured worker and hopefully cash in on his misfortune. When Joel begins to fall for her, he arranges for a male prostitute (played by the delicious Dustin Milligan) to seduce his wife, which, from his point of view, would free his conscience so he could pursue an affair with the new girl. Of course, things don't go as planned and the gigolo he has hired to sleep with his wife one time has started an ongoing affair with her. To make matters worse, Step is talked into hiring a scumbag "park bench" attorney who sues the company for all it is worth. In an iconic scene, the attorney, masterfully played by Gene Simmons, repeatedly offers to drop the case if Joel will agree to place his testicles on a door frame and have the door slammed on them — ouch! Unfortunately, the workers on the factory floor interpret the meeting as a negotiation to sell the small company to General Mills, and they decide to strike in retaliation. The film was classic Judge, with memorable and quirky characters who caricature the people we see every day. There is the gossipy assembly line worker who wears a kitten sweatshirt and wags her finger at immigrant workers, the rocker who is a member of no fewer than five different bands and the aloof manager who doesn't know the names of any of his employees. There aren't as many quotable quotes as there were in Office Space, but there are some memorable moments. I have the feeling that as I start the cycle of repeated viewing, I will begin to unfold some extra layers of awesome that are under the surface of this gem.

The Gelato Spot

Located at 32nd Street and Camelback, near Biltcadia, The Gelato Spot seems like a perfect match for Extract. After all, isn't the whole idea of gelato that you can take amazing flavor and pack it into a small, delicious, frozen package? I know some members of the gelato gestapo will curse me for not ranting and raving about the virtues of Arlecchino (on the magical corner of 40th and Campbell), but I just don't have the patience to mess around with navigating the cramped parking quarters of La Grande Orange when I could be leisurely cruising for a parking spot at the giant lot next to the G Spot. So, about the gelato. They have all the classics. The stracciatella is decent and the bacio is definitely worth a try. I would avoid some of the more over-the-top concoctions like the Snickers and cookies and cream, although the Ferrero Rocher flavor is worth tasting. As you might expect, I go for the fruitier flavors. The blood orange is to die for, and the raspberry and kiwi are delicious and refreshing. The vibe is great, too. It is a chill atmosphere with a coffee shop vibe, owing to its location adjacent to Hava Java. Throw in free wi-fi, and the G Spot is a great place to hang out and do some writing on a Sunday afternoon.]]> 4586 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/18/see-suns-ride-rail/ Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:14:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4594 METRO, US Airways Center and the Phoenix Suns called Rail Ride Event. Starting October 1, tickets displaying the Rail Ride Event logo will be good for the event and rides on the light rail. When a ticket is purchased for a US Airways Center event, the METRO fare is complimentary four hours before the event and for the rest of the day after. The partnership hopes this will be a “convenient, safe and great way [for people] to come Downtown.” A first-of-its-kind partnership between an entertainment venue and a transit agency, the Rail Ride Event program is unheard of across the country. The idea came along shortly after the NBA All-Star program in Phoenix last February. According to Suns President and CEO, Rick Welts, people enjoy the idea of “no gas, no traffic, no parking.” Valley METRO will be paid 31 cents for every person attending the events. Light rail traffic has been 25% above the projection on weekdays and 32% on weekends in its first nine months. As a result of this agreement, METRO will receive an estimated $300,000. Advertising for the program will begin Sunday with the promotion of single-game Suns ticket sales beginning on Monday. Forty percent of light rail riders use the rail for events and leisure activities. The first event featuring Ride Rail Event is the AC/DC concert on October 1.

Have you read it? You should. Chad Swaney reviews movies and pairs them with a great meal or decadent dessert. My favorite is, "'Juno' and Delux — Now I Feel Pregnant." They are all solid, though; be sure to not miss out. In any case, I've had an idea hiding away for a long time and only recently has it reemerged into the daylight — largely thanks to Chad's inspiration. For those of us living, working and playing in and around Downtown Phoenix the movie selection is pretty limited. There's the AMC 24 at Arizona Center and... and... yup, that's about it.* Furthermore, to watch a decent film on the big screen, one has to travel out to Camelview 5 or over to Tempe Valley Art. Sometimes it's worth it. Sometimes. I would, however, be way more apt to take a risk on an unknown art flick or independent film if the theater were closer. And, I'd practically run there if it had a bar to go along with it. The concept is not new — Tucson, Portland and many cities around the country have movie theaters and bars in the same building. But, as light rail, professional sports and great food has showed us, it doesn't need to be a new idea to have a huge impact on Downtown Phoenix. I'm not a stranger to crazy ideas, but this one has some validity. A movie theater that shows worthwhile films within walking distance of the rail? A movie theater with beer? Something to do Downtown that doesn't involve coffee or sports? Shoot, there's even an opportunity for adaptive reuse: The sanctuary of that abandoned church on the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue and Monroe Street would make a perfect spot for (warning: working title) The Swig & Screen. Who's in? *No Festival Required shows outstanding films at Space 55, including one next Saturday. The thoughts here are in no way meant to diminish the work of those bringing film into the friendly confines of Downtown Phoenix.]]> 4626 0 0 0 1092 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 1093 http://www.siwrites.com 0 21 1094 http://www.rakcommunity.wordpress.com 0 0 1095 0 0 1097 0 0 1098 http://www.nofestivalrequired.wordpress.com 0 0 1100 http://www.phoenixdowntownjournal.com 1098 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/22/ideas-buildings-grand-avenue-adaptive-reuse-tour/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:41:33 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4632 Grand Avenue Festival. During the morning, tours of six buildings are scheduled as part of the day's many festivities. Tour stops include the following:

Tilt Gallery: This house, on the southeast corner of 10th Avenue and Fillmore Street in the Oakland-University Park neighborhood, was built in 1905. It was built of cast concrete blocks, fabricated from molds to resemble quarry stones. It was converted to an art studio and photography gallery in 2005. The current tenants Michelle and Melanie Craven contributed substantial sweat equity towards renovating the building, including stripping and refurbishing the hardwood floors, installing slate flooring in the rear of the gallery and planting desert-friendly plants in the previously all-dirt yard. Today, Tilt Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery specializing in historical to alternative photographic processes and mixed media projects. The gallery features local, national and international works by emerging and established artist.

Jordre Studio: This small commercial building, at 1007 W. Grand Avenue, was originally built as a corner grocery in 1928. A year later, it was operating as both J.B. Johns Grocery and R.L. Mercer Meats. Local artist Kyle Jordre purchased this newly renovated building in 2006, originally constructed of lathe and stucco with a corrugated tin roof, and now uses it as a studio to produce abstract work that includes rich, colorful fields of paint with vibrant, bold textures.

Paisley Violin and Paisley Town: This commercial building, one of the few along Grand Avenue with a partial basement, was purchased by Derrick and Gina Suarez in 2004, who relocated their successful Paisley Violin Café there from its former site at Roosevelt and 3rd streets. Standing since 1925, this brick building is the very definition of adaptive use, serving as a grocer, furniture store, tamale vendor, radio repair facility, amusement sales and finally a veterinarian before its current incarnation as a café.

In 2007 the couple relocated six small World War II cottages to the backyard of the premises. They have converted them to colorful small business venues that house a hair salon, ceramic artist, vintage boutique, yoga studio and contemporary clothing boutique, with a florist on the way.

Motley Design Group: This modest building was constructed in 1957 as a transmission repair shop and was later used as a warehouse and workshop. In 2008, it was rehabilitated as an architecture and engineering studio for Motley Design Group, best known for its work in historic preservation planning and design.

Rehbein Grocery: Located on the corner of McKinley Street and Grand Avenue, the Rehbein Grocery is an excellent example of an early 20th century strip commercial building. It is one of the best remaining two-story brick strip commercial buildings in Phoenix. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Today, the space is home to Shop Devious and Lodge Art Studio.

Bragg's Pie Factory: This historic 1947 cast-in-place concrete building at 1301 W. Grand Ave was originally built by Alan Bragg and his wife, Elaine, for their expanding family pie business (formerly on Van Buren Street close to the state capitol). The building reflects an international style of modern architecture popular at the time (with few remaining examples left in Phoenix). The main, 4,500-sq.-ft. room in the 15,000-sq.-ft. building is capped by a beautiful steel bow truss roof. It is now home to Sapna Café and several offices and studios, including Modern Cat, Barry Sparkman Studio and Studio 8.

Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased by calling Beatrice Moore at (602) 391.4016 or by visiting the festival website at www.grandavenuefestivalaz.com. Tour times are 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11 am and leave from Tilt Gallery at 919 W. Fillmore St. Tickets will also be available on the day of the event at Sapna Café, 1301 W. Grand Avenue. Proceeds from ticket sales for the guided walking tours will go to the Grand Avenue Merchants' Association.]]> 4632 0 0 0 1104 http://www.urbanlifeblog.com 0 0 1110 http://enwosu.personal.asu.edu/wordpress/?p=74 0 0 1138 http://www.shopdevious.com 0 0 1109 http://www.yuriartibise.com/downtown-phoenix-journal/dpj-article%e2%80%94new-ideas-and-old-buildings-grand-avenue-adaptive-reuse-tour/ 0 0 5466 http://dmusd.co.cc/soul-4-real-tour-2009-phoenix 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/22/sips-grub-house-beer-roosevelt/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:48:50 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4643 Roosevelt Tavern? The answer, my friends, is a resounding nothing. Just a hop, skip and a jump from my front doorstep, this cavernous early 1900s home is easily my favorite bar in Downtown Phoenix. So, this blog is biased. Brace yourself. I strolled, in what seemed like slow-mo, through the dimly lit corridor of the Roosevelt ready to take on the challenge of their neighborhood-brewed house beer. I must preface this with the fact that I am a beer snob. I like my brew to be awesome. That is my only requirement. So, beneath the familiar glow of a spaghetti western on the bar-area TV, I ordered and lightly sipped the house beer. I was immediately met with the sharp taste of what seemed to be grapefruit careening down my throat. One glance at the menu revealed it to be laced with cardamom, which produced its unique flavor and lingering aftertaste. Each sip opened a bright burst of flavor through my whole palate. I realized that, had I not been full from an earlier meal, this would have enlightened my taste buds when paired with the homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese. I will say that the good sir Matt Pool got this one right, too. I’m officially moving in now. The Roosevelt Tavern is located at 816 N. 3rd St. and pours its house beer (and many other rotating selections) Tuesday-Sunday.

Once an epicenter of gang activity and urban blight in Downtown Phoenix, Kaiser’s houses are now at the heart of Garfield's resurgence, and among the coolest in Downtown Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_4710" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Christoph Kaiser working in his backyard oasis"][/caption] Kaiser is part owner of the architectural firm Plus Minus Studio, founded by him and his business partner Hayes McNeil in the fall of 2005. Since its founding, they have added Anson Chen to their team as Project Manager. The studio has been responsible for some of the most striking projects in and around Phoenix, including transforming Katz’s Deli into Postino Central and the complete remodel of Kitchen Sink Studios in Downtown Phoenix. In addition, Christoph has recently joined Hayes as partner in the new Royal at the Market coffee shop at the soon-to-be-opened Phoenix Public Market Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. While this portfolio is indeed impressive for a young architect, it is his personal projects in the Garfield neighborhood that captured the attention of DPJ. Garfield is the oldest historical district in Phoenix. First established in 1883, it became part of the city of Phoenix in 1899. Houses in the neighborhood date from the 1890s to the 1940s, with a large percentage built in the early 1900s. Unlike the grand dames of Phoenix’s historic districts, Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft, which have mostly remained intact and have dramatically appreciated in value, the historical homes in Garfield fell on hard times over the past three decades. Kaiser purchased and remodeled his first house in Tempe while still a student at ASU. After graduating, he set his sights on Downtown Phoenix because of the dynamic changes occurring Downtown and the availability of affordable historic homes. “Historic homes put me at peace,” Kaiser says. He also notes that older homes encourage commitment, something that is lacking in many of the interchangeable stucco boxes that popped up in the suburbs during the real estate boom. [caption id="attachment_4721" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Before and after: 910 E. Pierce St."][/caption] The Garfield neighborhood has changed a lot since 2005, when he first moved in — there was still gang activity on his street back then. At that time, Kaiser felt like he was the only one trying. Rather than be deterred, however, he saw this as an opportunity. Not only were the prices right for an architect with shallow pockets but deep vision, but also the dire shape of the area provided opportunities for creativity that would not have been available in other neighborhoods. He has seen a dramatic change over the past four years, brought about, in part, by a shift from renters to owners who are renovating their homes as well. In addition, the remaining landlords are paying more attention to the upkeep of their properties in hopes of attracting new tenants from ASU and the Biomedical campus. [caption id="attachment_4722" align="alignleft" width="385" caption="A mixture of old and new"][/caption] Kaiser’s desire is to create interesting living spaces for the working class and students. They are a unique alternative to the condo towers and apartment blocks that we normally think of as "urban living." His approach to design and architecture is akin to an unfolding progression. When you first approach his homes, they look largely like they did when they were first built, as he has done his best to respect the exterior's authenticity. One of the only differences is the desert-friendly landscaping. Once you step inside — or around back — however, you enter a realm of the unexpected. Kaiser takes the concept of place-making to a micro level. While the term traditionally refers to creating neighborhoods, he creates places as small as a garden patio. To create such a place, Kaiser pays particular attention to creating a sense of arrival, where it feels like you are entering your own world, despite being just steps away from the bustle of Downtown. As a result, he is as interested in the outside of his houses as he is with the interiors. He has spent a lot of time researching indigenous desert plants and has planted many varieties of mesquite. He is now experimenting with interspersing fruit trees between the desert trees, because, he states with a wink, “After all the work I put into planting, watering and otherwise maintaining my yard, it would be nice to get something back.” [caption id="attachment_4723" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Kaiser's attic retreat"][/caption] On the inside, Kaiser tries to fit as many unique living spaces as possible. He has created units in once-empty attics and created communal living spaces on the main level for people renting out bedrooms. Christoph fills each place with whimsical touches, including an intriguing mix of vintage finds and high-tech conveniences. While there are plenty of IKEA products throughout his unit, due to their affordable-yet-stylish forms, he also has several higher-end pieces that were custom made to maximize the use of space. In addition, he is in the process of building unique living spaces in his back yards, including a renovated 1967 Airstream trailer and a corrugated metal silo that he is constructing as a self-contained living space. He notes that the four to five people living in each of his houses, while dense by today’s standards, was the norm when the houses were first built. The only difference is that they were families living together back then, while there are friends living together today. This added density allows for more affordable rents, attracting a mix of students, artists and creative young professionals. A good way to describe this combination that Kaiser has developed is to use a phrase coined by Alison King of Modern Phoenix: “Mullet Modern — conservative in the front, party in the back.” According to Kaiser, “Neighborhoods need some interest, with some more aggressive or edgy touches to attract diverse types of people, yet still being respectful of the neighborhood's authenticity.” He admits that many of his ideas wouldn’t fly in a more established historic neighborhood, but in a recovering neighborhood like Garfield, they are a perfect fit.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 06.27.09 Nothing beats the intimacy of Nearly Naked Theatre, nor its ability to cast superb actors in gritty roles from moving plays. And [a recent] performance of "Blood Brothers" was no exception. It's been over a year since we first attended a production at n2t and each time adds a layer of complexity and absorption, drawing us further in to the dynamics of its theatre. Understand that this is a small space with seating for, perhaps, a hundred people. Every time we've been here, it's been near- or at-capacity. After ten years of honing its craft, that isn't surprising. n2t has wisely turned away from receiving federal grants to produce its stunning work and saved itself from the bureaucratic red tape and censorship that permeates such "donations." Instead, n2t accepts donations from individuals and businesses that support the efforts to produce raw, uncensored works that are stripped down to their cored fundamentals. Thus, we get "naked" theatre...a venue so vital to the now-identifiable Downtown. I'd like to think n2t has helped to mold the direction of the region. Some tips: If you're going with a group, get there early. The doors open half an hour before show times and you'll need to be quick to hold the necessary seats. On the seats, they're not like what you get at AMC/Harkins. These seats are tough on your backside, but they are working on getting cushions for all the seats so that is temporary. Wine is now being served; bring cash. Almost every production we've seen has had smoking in it. As a former smoker this is a bit irritating but (as you can see from my rating) is forgivable. Finally, see as many performances as you can! Start early in the season and see each production. If you love theatre, love feeling like part of the play, love being close the the art and love supporting something phenomenal, n2t is the perfect venue for you. Nearly Naked Theatre is located at 100 E. McDowell Rd. (602) 254.2151 The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core.

Intrinsically, they are common denominators in the future of a prospering Phoenix. Did you know that Phoenix hotels contribute more than $166 million into the local economy through taxes? This is a substantial amount of money that enables programs and services to continue, not to mention the jobs they create. Literally, for Phoenix, strength is in numbers. An increased number of visitors and conventions to the area will strengthen local economic recovery efforts. Phoenix and the surrounding areas are lush and diverse. From resort living to down-and-dirty camping and fishing, there is appeal for everyone. Yes, I said everyone — even locals. You are not only residents, but you are also stakeholders. Through continued patronage of local business and amenities, stakeholders play a vital role in forming the future of Phoenix. In its greatest form, everyone is one degree of separation from tourism. The future of services and programs is dependent on the investments. Be proud in knowing that you helped shape the future of this great city and state. Widely known and accepted is the belief that business drives the economy. When business is good, so are the pocketbooks of Americans. Today’s data only supports the notion that businesses need to continue to make sound judgments and not give into intimidation and negative publicity. As the global research firm Oxford Economics highlights, for every dollar invested in business travel, businesses experience $12.50 in increased revenue and $3.80 in new profits. I urge you to continue planning educational opportunities, product demonstrations and vacations, because Arizona’s future depends on it.]]> 4703 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/25/insecure-critic-the-informant-aka-survived-clarendon-parking-lot/ Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:49:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4728 The Informant! Dark comedy? Absolutely. Dark comedy based on real-life drama? Hell yeah. The Informant, starring Matt Damon as legendary ADM whistleblower Mark Whitacre, is an often funny, frequently intriguing and well-executed period piece (the period being the 1990s) that tells the story of a flawed man who exposes a global price-fixing scam perpetrated by (sinister music) ADM — yes, the friendly Archer Daniels Midland that sponsors your favorite show on NPR. It turns out that the self-proclaimed "Supermarket to the World" was actually conspiring with its competitors to fix prices in the market for the food additive lysine. Whitacre, a group president in the bio products division of the agra giant, reveals to the FBI that his company is engaging in anti-competitive activities, and agrees to record conversations and meetings to collect evidence. The evidence he collects over several years leads to the arrests of top ADM executives. Unfortunately, it is revealed to the FBI that Whitacre has actually been bilking the company out of millions of dollars the entire time, and he ends up spending more time in jail for taking $9 million from the company than the ADM executives who cheated the public out of possibly hundreds of times that amount. As Whitacre says in the film, "I stole from the company, but they stole from everyone who buys anything at a grocery store." Damon's portrayal of the complicated Whitacre was just right. His fidgety tendencies matched perfectly with the audience's expectation of how a bipolar whistleblower might behave. His timing and delivery were perfect, including in the classic scene where he discloses his theft from the company to the FBI agents assigned to his case. He keeps just the right amount of suspense as he reveals his secret, and I was leaning back in my chair, wincing, thinking, "Oh, for the love of God, don't say it!" The costumes and art direction captured the feel of the late 1990s perfectly, right down to the patterns of the ties that reminded me of a number of Amway meetings that I attended in my college years. The supporting cast wasn't anything to write home about, but they supported Damon adequately. The shining star in the chorus was Tony Hale as Whitacre's loyal attorney, James Epstein. After hearing the real-life Epstein discuss his role in the case, I am convinced that Hale captured the passion of an attorney vigorously defending a client he truly believes in. I was shocked when I heard Hale use the word "bullshit" in one scene, because he is an evangelical Christian who has refused to use profanity on screen in the past. Back when he was on Arrested Development, in a scene in which his character goes on a profanity-laced tirade that is bleeped for television, he made a point of not actually saying any profanities, mouthing the alphabet instead. I love a good conspiracy theory, so here comes one in my final thought about the movie. I wonder how much of what really happened is portrayed in this film. Yes, the movie has Whitacre's tacit support, and I am sure that Kurt Eichenwald, the author of the book on which the movie is based, spend a lot of effort on research, but I wonder how much ADM's political clout contributed to the minuscule sentences of the faithful executives, while Whitacre spent nearly a decade in jail. One cannot dispute the disproportionate punishment, given that Whitacre took millions, while ADM has likely taken billions.

Gallo Blanco Café at the Clarendon

When I think of secret informants, investigations, and conspiracies in Phoenix, I immediately think of the story of Don Bolles. An investigative journalist for The Arizona Republic, Bolles had uncovered a number of scandals, including some involving organized crime. On June 2, 1976, he went to the Hotel Clarendon (now the Clarendon Hotel) to meet an informant, and was killed when a bomb blew up his car in the parking lot. I don't think that any of my work for DPJ has been controversial enough to warrant concern about a possible hit on me, but I do always look twice when I park my car at the Clarendon Hotel, even if just for nostalgia's sake, and to honor someone who died in a noble pursuit of truth. On this week's trip to the Clarendon Hotel, I visited the Gallo Blanco Café for what I believe is the best brunch for your money in Phoenix. Sure, it isn't the relentless pursuit of truth, but it is delicious. Our table started out with the fantastic fresh guacamole, which at $7 is as expensive as any of the main courses that I have ever had on the Gallo Blanco menu. I enjoyed the huevos rancheros ($6), which feature well-seasoned beans, perfectly textured tortillas and a delicious chili sauce. They also serve an amazing veggie torta ($7) that I could argue is the best vegetarian sandwich in Phoenix. To drink, you must try the carmely delicious cafe con leche ($3.75) made with Cartel coffee beans. The only misfire on the menu is the Chicharrón de Queso ($7) which is an over-crisp disaster. If anyone knows where in Phoenix one can find an LA-quality chicharrón de queso, let me know — please! The Gallo Blanco wait staff is efficient, if indifferent, and the atmosphere is what I call "Clarendon cool." Like the rest of the property, Gallo Blanco's dining room has the sense that someone finished about 90% of the construction, then just decided to quit. The flooring has ragged edges, the wall transitions are sloppy, and the decor is an odd mish-mash that isn't quite eclectic. I am pretty sure that they save the attention to detail for the food, and there they score big time.]]> 4728 0 0 0 1136 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 1139 http://chadswaney.com 0 13 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/25/grand-avenue-festival-music-schedule/ Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:08:58 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4744 Grand Avenue Festival.

Though it's certainly not a shock due to her massive commitments elsewhere (Kimber is the closest thing Phoenix has to Superwoman), it is also certainly the end of an era. Right off the bat, I want to say that I'll continue to fully support Modified and its new owners, Kim Larkin and Adam Murray, in whatever direction they choose to take. But, I must also say that it's tremendously sad that Downtown Phoenix (well, the Valley, really) is losing its independent music mecca, whether the space continues to throw one-off local shows or not. Phoenix has struggled with its music identity for decades now, as evidenced by the sheer number of venues that have come and gone in recent years (off the top of my head: the Nile, Nita's Hideaway, Long Wongs on Mill, Bash on Ash, the Paper Heart, Onespace, the Mason Jar, Fat Cats, Neckbeards, etc.). Put Modified at or near the top of that list. Over its decade-long run, that little hole-in-the-wall art gallery, creaky floorboards and all, put on some killer shows, and brought in talent from all over the world — much of which has graduated to the likes of major music festivals, theaters and arenas. No one can argue that Modified allowed Phoenix to be on countless tour itineraries. Sure, someone will come along — hopefully in Downtown Phoenix, although there are whispers of an all-ages music renaissance about to crop up once again in Tempe — and open a new space that will one day reclaim the booking prowess that Modified earned over its years of service. But, it won't happen overnight. And, until then, the independent music scene here is at a serious loss.

From Kimber:

Hello Phoenix, I think you all know how much I love this town, right? Maybe some of you know me from Stinkweeds, or Modified Arts, or some of my newer friends know me from the work I’m doing with Local First Arizona. Well, I want to talk to you about some upcoming changes that you should know about. It’s important that you hear this from me, and that you know that you can ask me any question you may have at any time. A brief history of Modified Arts: we opened in January of 1999 as a dedicated art space, providing a place for painters, musicians, actors, dancers, and poets to share their work in an affordable and welcoming environment. As you know, Roosevelt Street has blossomed over the years and is now home to an astonishing array of galleries, shops, and restaurants. I am proud to have been part of what has been nothing less than the complete transformation of a community. Over the past 10 years, I have changed as well. I am now actively involved in community development, and work extensively on both city and state initiatives that I believe will be for the betterment of us all. Encouraging density and infill, sustainable policies- rather than suburban policies of the 50’s, local procurement, economic development, and entrepreneurship are my top priorities. Many of you who know me know that I have worked hard to walk the line between indie rock shows and city council meetings, between stocking the fridge and public speaking engagements. It’s time for something to give. I am pleased to introduce you to Kim Larkin and Adam Murray, a husband and wife team who will be the perfect people to carry on the Modified banner without me. I am overwhelmingly happy to have found a solution to a difficult situation. I will never give up that building, but I didn’t want to place a business in there that wouldn’t actively contribute to the neighborhood, and in particular to Roosevelt Row. Kim and Adam will be able to advance Modified in a way that I am unable to do with my current work load. Kim’s background is in arts management, and she has already run a gallery of her own in Salt Lake City. Adam is a sound engineer whom some of you may know as a sound guy at Modified now. They have big plans for Modified Arts and I expect you all to get behind them and show support.  Modified Arts will be more of a traditional gallery, though Adam will still be doing shows. However, we must tell you that the big, indie rock shows you’ve come to know and love at Modified will have to find another home. The programming will be changing to better accommodate a gallery, so the slant will be more experimental and progressive. We will be closing Modified Arts as it exists right now the second weekend in December and re-opening with a new look for Third Friday in January. The stage and green room will be gone, giving way to a cleaner look that will better suit the artwork. I know some of you will have a hard time with the change but I am asking you to embrace it the best you can and recognize that for almost 11 years we did something no one thought we could do. We ran in independent music venue and art gallery with volunteers from the community and kept the rent at $160 so that bands could play and make some money, and promoters could still bring the small bands and make ends meet. We provided the stepping stones for most of the bands playing at the Rhythm Room today. In fact, some of the bands playing at the Marquee or Cricket Pavilion got their first show in Phoenix at Modified. If you were there for one of those shows, please hold the memory dear. As a city grows, things change. Be proud of what each of you contributed and be grateful you were there. Looking forward, Modified Arts will be something new to explore and yet familiar. Kim and Adam have promised to keep working with many of the mid-career artists I’ve worked to develop over the years, and I feel the situation could not be better. They will give the website a new look and have lots of plans for better events. I’m sure they will be in touch with many of you in the coming weeks to introduce themselves and to communicate their plans to you directly. You will like them a lot, I promise. Kim and I are collaborating on a show in January (my last, her first) that will document the history of the Phoenix arts scene going all they way back to the early 70’s. I could talk to you all for days about the ways Modified has changed over the years- some good and some bad. The community has changed, too. I know I have certainly been distracted with all of the policy work I’ve been submerged in, but I will save that discussion for a book one day. Suffice to say I am happy I was able to be a part of it, and I’m happy I found someone to carry it on. For all of you who were there along the way: thank you. Modified is a shining example of what a community can do when we work together. I look forward to whatever we decide to do next. Kimber

Phoenix's notoriously anti-conformist diagonal roadway, however, proved to be a worthy draw for thousands who braved the heat. From the Trunk Space all the way down Jordre Studio, the day was a scorching success. The lure of free snowcones probably helped, too. As a group of about 25 people congregated on the grounds of the Tilt Gallery at 9:30 a.m., it was already 102º, but that didn't stop them from crisscrossing Grand Avenue for an hour-and-a-half, learning about adaptive reuse processes in several key buildings that line the avenue. The leisurely adaptive reuse tours slowly snaked northwest along Grand, popping in and out of buildings erected from the early 1900s to the 1950s — structures that were once groceries and mechanic garages that now house artists, office spaces and cafés. Three separate tours throughout the morning hours accommodated a total of 80-some people, each learning a bit about Grand's storied past. At Jordre Studio, painter Kyle Jordre openly told attendees to head into his living quarters in back of his studio to see his "cute ruby red" (his words, not ours) bathroom. Up the street at Paisley Town, listeners heard tales of the colorful cottages moving from Papago Park to 17th Avenue to their final spot in the quaint courtyard. As the morning rolled into the afternoon, most galleries and eateries were reporting strong foot traffic, often first-time Grand Avenue visitors. By late afternoon, side streets along Grand were lined with cars and bikes chained to fence posts. More than a few houses nearby were enjoying raucous parties, clearly welcoming the attention on the normally quiet avenues. Music could be heard rounding nearly every corner. On the rooftop of the Loft, bands such as Bolt and Haunted Cologne rocked patrons sitting outside Sapna Café (which, by the way, had long wait times the entire evening). The PHiX hosted two stages: raucous indie bands inside the cavernous space, and the more subdued River Jones PRESENTS! stage just to the north of the building. A makeshift stage popped up in a lot next to Jordre Studio, while the Paisley Violin hosted tunes for 12 hours straight. At the Bragg's Pie building, a packed house came to see "trashy" art on display, and stayed into the evening hours for the recycled wearables and local boutique fashion shows. It's tough to say just how many people were on Lower Grand throughout the day, but the first Grand Avenue Festival was an undoubted success. We have something to build on for next fall's festivities — Grand has once again proven that it is a relevant, important and constantly budding cultural landscape in Phoenix.

Naturally, my taste buds seem to gravitate towards something of the sweet tea variety. Stereotypical Southerner? Absolutely. I had heard of a cool bar that is tucked away at 7th Avenue and McDowell. That seems extremely curious, considering that hiding at that busy intersection must be a task. With that in mind, I believed that I might be headed to a dive bar for sure. Once I located the sign-less door, I was met by the colorful hum of Yellow Submarine flickering in the staircase above. Immediately, I realized that I had made a discovery. Cozy couches, dim lights and nostalgic movies seem to package this place in a unique style. On to ordering my drink. I know that I’m somewhere special when the drink ingredients are sweet tea vodka, sweet and sour and a sliced lemon. Simple. Brilliant. Sold. My refined palate is amazed at the mixture. Seriously, is it possible to beat a combo that includes liquor and sweet tea? If not for the pleasant, relaxed mood of the room, I would have released a “rebel yell” of delight. I suppose SideBar is my diamond in the rough, and that gives it a huge lead on every other place. Now I just have to find it again. SideBar is located at 1517 N. 7th Ave. and pours Lynwood Palmers until 2 a.m. every day.]]> 4789 0 0 0 1162 http://www.facebook.com/kelseycw 0 148 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/09/29/dpj-yelper-week-bri-made/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:35:30 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4798 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

The city was just notified, once again, that the Housing Department was awarded a competitive ARRA grant. This award is not just money to those families benefiting from the forthcoming retrofits to the 374 units at the Marcos de Niza city-owned public housing — this grant compliments my 17-point Green Phoenix plan, which aims to make Phoenix one of the most sustainable cities in the nation. This is a great example of the city’s goal in ensuring that everyone has access to sustainable features and education. From low or no volatile organic compound paints to adhesives and green-label-certified floor coverings, the residents of Marcos de Niza will benefit from the green features of their units by saving on energy costs and contributing to reducing their carbon footprint. More importantly, this project will put people to work. Improvements are scheduled to begin soon. And, we are not done yet — please continue to follow my efforts as I continue my work in ensuring that Phoenix is at the forefront of those in Washington, DC. As always, I will continue to keep you informed on my progress — until then, remember, shop Phoenix!]]> 4765 0 0 0 1336 http://www.publichousing.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/01/friday-park/ Thu, 01 Oct 2009 07:01:12 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4796 [/caption] We all know First Friday's grasp on Downtown is ever expanding, so it's no surprise that Civic Space Park is getting in on the fun. Friday debuts First @ Park, where Civic Space's businesses, arts spaces and, well, park space all come together in celebration of First Friday. First @ Park is a community collaborative event between the city of Phoenix, the Dean's office at Arizona State University's College of Public Programs, Boys Hope Girls Hope of Phoenix, Karuna Village Fair Trade and Las Otras Hermanas. The event will feature performances at the park amphitheater starting at 7 p.m. Capoeira Brasil Arizona will be on hand to perform its 500-year-old disciplined martial arts improvisational dance (a true feat of athleticism!). A storyteller volunteer from a Las Otras Hermanas will also be on hand. As October is National Fair Trade Month, it's only fitting to celebrate with the grand opening of the Fair Trade Store, right next to Fair Trade Café on the park's courtyard level. The volunteer-run store is a nonprofit retail space run by Karuna Village Fair Trade and Las Otras Hermanas that houses organic wearables, housewares, trinkets and body products, all of course sourced through fair trade practices — over 30 collectives from around the globe. And, no First Friday event would be complete without artwork, so stroll through the park to gander at photography, paintings and found art. Photographer Jeff Jones and artist Debbie Sexton will both have their work on display. Civic Space Park is located at 424 N. Central Ave.

He grew up surrounded by gardens and tended one of his own as a teenager growing up in rural Georgia. After high school, however, Jones’ focus shifted to architecture. He left home to attend school in Lafayette, LA; later beginning his architectural career in Dallas, TX. He moved to Phoenix in 1986, and purchased his home in 1988. He has lived there since, except for a two-year stint to attend graduate school in Los Angeles. During his time in Phoenix, James has worked on many architectural projects throughout the Valley, including Amsterdam and Crowbar in the Downtown Phoenix core. About four years ago, his mind turned back to his youth and his family gardens. Despite being thousands of miles from Georgia, James looked around his yard and saw the potential to plant a garden like the ones he had growing up. He found that his home was ideally situated for a garden. Its western exposure and plenty of neighboring trees help to mitigate the summer heat. In addition, his neighborhood is flood irrigated by the Salt River Project (SRP), giving his garden a free and reliable supply of water. [caption id="attachment_4944" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Photo courtesy of Abraham James"][/caption] James first planted a few vegetables that he loved to eat in a small corner of his back yard. His first crops consisted mainly of Southern staples, such as okra, black-eyed peas, collared greens and sugar cane. Each season, however, James got a bit more adventurous and his garden continued to grow in size and variety. Today, it envelopes his entire back yard and most of the front, and his bounty now includes a wide range of produce, including onions, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, citrus and fruit trees, grapes, lemongrass and various herbs. Currently, about 20% of his diet comes from things grown in his garden — he eats something from his garden every day. This definitely helps with his grocery bills, especially in these tough economic times. While he still buys many of his seeds, James' goal is to develop a self-sustaining gardening, using reseeding vegetables and cuttings from existing plants. As his garden has grown and evolved, so has James’ relationship with it. In addition to the food it supplies, he sees several other benefits to being an urban gardener. He finds contentment in working in the garden, as it enables him to reconnect with nature and the seasons. The organic nature of gardening also functions as a nice counterpoint to his work with the built environment as an architect. In gardening, James has also gained a new appreciation for his adopted city. He notes that Phoenix was founded because of farming, and much of what is now Central Phoenix was once farm fields and citrus groves, including his neighborhood of Green Gables, near 24th and Oak streets. James has always been an active member of his community, serving on the Encanto Village Planning Committee, the city's Development Services Ad Hoc Task Force and the Phoenix Public Library Advisory Board. His garden, however, has given him an opportunity to connect more directly with his immediate neighborhood — this is one of the reasons he began gardening in his front yard. Through his garden, James has built close connections with his neighbors, many of whom have become great friends. He enjoys sharing his bounty with other neighborhood gardeners in exchange for things he doesn’t produce, such as eggs and watermelons. For readers interested in starting a garden of their own, James has three words of advice: Go for it! He feels that despite popular sentiment, much of Central Phoenix is a great place for urban farming, given its Sunbelt climate and neighborhoods with irrigated lots. Moreover, with the current economic climate and shift towards more sustainable living, the time couldn’t be better. James suggests starting small and growing food you love to eat, as this will give you with the incentive to make the considerable effort successful gardening requires. For help, he recommends getting in touch with the Maricopa County Extension Office, as well as local nurseries, including his favorite, Baker’s Nursery.]]> 4842 0 0 0 1250 http://www.yuriartibise.com/downtown-phoenix-journal/dpj-article%e2%80%94growing-a-community-in-central-phoenix-abraham-james/ 0 0 1254 0 0 1195 0 0 1197 0 0 1194 0 0 1200 0 0 1201 0 0 1206 0 0 1205 0 0 1234 1206 0 12084 http://www.getyourphx.com/2013/08/01/community-block-grant/ 0 0 Apache Server at www.downtownphoenixjournal.com Port 80 ";s:11:"SERVER_NAME";s:30:"www.downtownphoenixjournal.com";s:11:"SERVER_ADDR";s:14:"74.208.154.155";s:11:"SERVER_PORT";s:2:"80";s:11:"REMOTE_ADDR";s:13:"174.121.247.2";s:13:"DOCUMENT_ROOT";s:51:"/var/www/vhosts/downtownphoenixjournal.com/vhosts/downtownphoenixjournal.com/httpdocs";s:12:"SERVER_ADMIN";s:17:"dustin@invexi.com";s:15:"SCRIPT_FILENAME";s:62:"/var/www/vhosts/downtownphoenixjournal.com/vhosts/downtownphoenixjournal.com/httpdocs/xmlrpc.php";s:11:"REMOTE_PORT";s:5:"38279";s:17:"GATEWAY_INTERFACE";s:7:"CGI/1.1";s:15:"SERVER_PROTOCOL";s:8:"HTTP/1.0";s:14:"REQUEST_METHOD";s:4:"POST";s:12:"QUERY_STRING";s:0:"";s:11:"SCRIPT_NAME";s:11:"/xmlrpc.php";s:8:"PHP_SELF";s:11:"/xmlrpc.php";s:12:"REQUEST_TIME";s:10:"1375384702";s:5:"HTTPS";s:0:"";s:25:"comment_post_modified_gmt";s:19:"2009-10-05 21:10:39";}]]> http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/02/living-dead-invade-friday-search-stuff/ Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:45:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4852 [/caption] The living dead are invading First Friday, but fear not, they won't be there looking for brains.

Twas a humble affair, however — one helping to properly introduce the eagerly anticipated restaurant to its new environment. Located in the circa-1960s shopping plaza at the northwestern corner of Central and Highland avenues, the entirely overhauled, standalone A-frame structure houses the latest high-profile addition to the neighborhood’s growing roster of unique dining establishments to materialize within the past year. The restaurant is the brainchild of Chris and Craig Delaney, co-owners of the original Hula's locations in California, and their enthusiastic new partner, Phoenix-based Dana Mule. Surgically aiming for a unique, urban aesthetic equally tied to the original Hula’s Tiki-inspired restaurants in California as it is to Phoenix’s own mid-century heritage, Hula’s Modern Tiki is a union of varied reference points both local and abroad. Think Trader Vic’s with less theme, easily more approachable (read: price and atmosphere) and, obviously, more directly associated with its respective location’s vibe and history geographically. Structurally, the focal point of the once-dated, innately odd building is the large floor-to-ceiling hexagonal picture window abutting Central Avenue. This portal not only anchors the primary bar area from the inside, but it also provides patrons an intangible, ever-changing connection to the urban environment that exists just outside of it. The remainder of the interior dining area is clean and well designed, with wood-paneled walls interplaying with those stark white. Minimal touches accessorize, like oversized framed photographs depicting a bygone mid-century lifestyle, as well as recessed shelving for colorful collections of tiki mugs and other related knickknacks. Besides the additional interior dining square footage, a major part of the structure’s expansion beyond its original A-frame is the large patio. During pleasant weather, both the new indoor and outdoor dining spaces, along with the main bar area, become unified courtesy of several large rolling, garage-like glass doors. The menu itself presents a conflux of items revolving around the seed of “modern island fare.” This loosely translates to influences Polynesian, Hawaiian, as well as various incarnations of Asian and Latin. Though not overwhelmingly so, a large dominance of seafood exists. Pupus (appetizers) of note: crispy coconut shrimp rolls, with a pineapple-horseradish sauce for dipping ($7); and poke, a tossing of high-grade ahi with avocado, onions, soy sauce, sesame oil and crushed macadamia nuts ($9). Main courses explore the gamut from inspired tacos combinations, to specialty dishes involving pork, fish and chicken. Some highlights sampled: "wasabi fish special,” a thin steak of seared tuna served atop wasabi mashed potatoes and layered with an equally wasabi-fied cream sauce ($17); and a house specialty, Duke’s Luau Pork Plate — a healthy stack of tangy, smoky pulled BBQ pork and pineapple, served alongside a nutty mixture of brown and white rice, and yes, a little coleslaw ($14). Then finally, for dessert, there exists limited but perfectly thoughtful options (all $6). Of them, notably, a very appropriate key lime pie, as well as a sweet butterscotch pudding, crowned with slices of caramelized bananas and mangoes. Never to be outshone, of course, there is an extensive menu of island-bearing cocktails, completing (or beginning?) the establishment’s perfectly pitched tiki theme. From mai tais and mojitos, to zombies and hurricanes, any desires to drink your way through the South Pacific prove easily attainable — an impulse made even more perfect with the addition of vintage surf films playing on flat-screen televisions (and vaulted projector screens) in the bar and lounge area for added entertainment. Presenting a snazzy, reinvented example of an older mid-century aesthetic, Hula’s Modern Tiki in Uptown is a welcome addition to not only the neighborhood, but also the entire city. Hula's Modern Tiki is located at 4700 N. Central Ave. (light rail station at Central/Camelback) (602) 265.TIKI [gallery columns="4"] All photos by Justin Lee]]> 4856 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/02/cronkite-school-pays-tribute/ Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:51:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4926 CBS Evening News and watched Cronkite report the day's events. The show's anchorman for 19 years and a journalist for decades longer, Cronkite was witness to many of the events that defined the 20th century. His voice reported many of those stories to the American people, and it was his unparralled skill of the craft that earned him the title, "most trusted man in America." So many years later, Shannon and several hundred students, faculty and community members were on hand for ASU's tribute evening for the namesake of the journalism school on September 30. Throughout the day, tributes and documentaries played on the massive screen in the forum of the Cronkite School, with the keynote event a panel of journalism luminaries discussing Cronkite's career. The idea was former CNN anchor and current faculty member Aaron Brown would moderate, via video satellite, a discussion about Cronkite's career with Newshour anchor Jim Lehrer, Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward and former CNN anchor Bernard Shaw. Ironic for an event that was to honor a man whose voice and face are personally and intimately known to so many, the video failed completely and the audio was reliable only from time to time. But, like old pros, the four broadcast notables made their way through with humor and ease, sidestepping the technical issues. It was in this way, with professionalism and confidence, that Cronkite's legacy was best remembered that evening. Brown and the panel talked about a time that most of the audience never experienced firsthand. The school's students, who attended out of respect, extra credit for classes or the free food, live in a completely different world and news environment, as Lehrer pointed out. "There could never be another Walter Cronkite. Then, 98% of Americans watched evening news. Today, there is no shared news experience," he said. Students today use tools Cronkite could never have imagined during his career at CBS, such as Twitter. Some of the audience tweeted the event. One tweet read, "Just finished the Walter Cronkite tribute ceremony. So proud I go to the school I go to!" Another: "Said goodbye today to Walter Cronkite as part of ASU's inspiring tribute to the most trusted man in America." Others did homework or watched attentively. Some took notes for stories they were writing about the tribute for their journalism classes. Cronkite never had a chance to visit the new building in Downtown Phoenix. Filled with super high-tech equipment and supporting a healthy, open environment to learn in, much of the school's focus is teaching students the digital tools they need to survive in the ever-competitive (and ever-changing) world of journalism.

In my own daily life, I try as hard as I can to partake in such a lifestyle. However, being in college (read: having a collegiate income), I find that sometimes a green life requires that other type of green...

Enter: coffee. I love the stuff. And now, I'm finding out that I can get a hint of that locavore mindset every time I indulge in that deliciousness... Kevin over at Coffee Conversations put together a great list of Ways to Help the Independent Coffeehouse. A few of my favorites:

Pay CASH for everything — There’s a bunch of rascally merchant provider salesmen out there who constantly work the independent coffeehouses and other small businesses to get them to switch their credit card processing to their company — promising low rates and then hitting them with exorbitant fees on a monthly basis. Even the legitimate merchant providers are a big expense for coffeehouses and being a small business normally means you have no room to negotiate with the big companies that run these credit card processing machines. Help your local coffeehouse owner by refusing to pay by credit or debit card because they in turn normally pay a flat fee plus a percentage of the sale (and then later monthly fees) so you can have convenient use of your card. Paying cash avoids all of this and helps keep an extra 2-5% where it will do the most good.

Live large by tipping large — Most independent coffeehouses are paying their employees everything they can, but it can be difficult to retain and keep the really good ones with all the other expenses they have. If you’re given great service — but even if you’re given adequate service — be extravagant in tipping the guy who’s making your drink. He’ll remember you and the next time or two you’ll likely get what you ordered even faster.

Once you find that special place, BRAG, BRAG, BRAG — Tell your friends and neighbors all about this shop you’ve found and what you like about it so much. Insist that they tell their friends. In fact, just talk and talk about it. You’ll drive enough people crazy that eventually they’ll come to the coffeehouse to see what the fuss is all about. And, once they’ve done that, mission accomplished! Now you are really helping your local coffeehouse to succeed and prosper.

These are just a couple of tips as we gear up for the grand opening of Royal at the Market. See you all there.]]> 4936 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/06/sips-grub-postinos-bruschetta/ Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:11:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4947 Postino falls into this category. I decided that with all the variations of bruschetta available, I must select the four most appealing and interesting. First on deck was an intriguing blend of brie, apples and fig spread. This worked its magic on me in magnificent ways, because it was probably my favorite of the selections. Sweet and layered perfectly with the cheese, delectable is the first word that comes to mind. Next up, the more standard realm of the mozzarella, tomato and basil. Aside from the basil leaf having an absurd tendency towards sticking to my face, this was exactly what I expected. Third was unlikely combo in the form of tomato jam and fresh sheep’s milk cheese. At first glance, tomato jam sounds like something that hippies make on accident; however, I was pleasantly surprised. Sweet and flavorful, with just the right hint of mild creamy cheese, this was truly a discovery. Despite my ill-advised first impression, this was a delight. And last, I finished my journey in the land of fine wine café cuisine with the bruschetta constructed of warm artichoke spread. This one was buttery and warm; purely made of something from the heavens. Overall, this paddle board served up four tasty varieties of deliciousness. So, should you be meandering through the historic Medlock Place neighborhood on any fine eve, perhaps you should stop by Postino for a glass of wine and some of the best bruschetta around.

Every Tuesday, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Ada G. Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 06.22.09 It's hot - the kids are wired - there is really only one solution.....the Children's museum!!! This place is great for kids under 6 years old - over six, they are probably going to like each exhibit for about two minutes. Under six, you can spend a long long time here. Start downstairs by throwing colorful scarves into vacuum pipes that climb the walls, and pop out over your heads. Watch your young ones climb thru tunnels and tents, and then cruise around on scooters for awhile. On the second floor, there's the coolest art room ever! I wish this place existed when I was little! Everyday, they paint this little playhouse a different color. It is so so cool! And there are two different art projects to try out. The facility provides aprons, and paper towels, but I would still recommend wearing something you don't mind getting a little paint or glue on. There's a kid's kitchen where they can make you pretend pizzas, and a grocery store where you can shop and ring up the food. My favorite room has walls of mazes for a ball to go thru that makes a ton of different noises. So much fun! The third floor has the funnest thing ever!! A huge room full of hanging noodles (swimming pool noodles) - and you can run thru full speed playing tag with your little ones - just keep eyes open for other little ones. I am leaving a lot out (like the toddler room), but just check this place out! It is so so nice! I think one of the coolest things is that the rooms are extremely clean - you never feel like you are picking up a book or toy covered in goobies, which I greatly appreciate. Also, don't go here if you plan to be one of those non-interactive parents. This place requires participation from both parent and child. Children's Museum of Phoenix is located at 215 N. 7th St. (602) 253.0501 The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core.

Bunky Boutique, which opened in September 2007, carries clothing for men, women and children. Featuring brands such as Brixton, Ropeadope and Cadenza Clothing, Bunky strives to provide a classically modern style rather than trendy clothing. “You buy it, you have it forever, yet it still looks current,” says Rachel Malloy, co-owner and co-founder of the boutique. Bunky occupies 950 square feet of a house that was built in the early 1900s. Malloy said she chose the building because of its uniqueness and character. “It’s hard to find somewhere in Phoenix that isn’t cookie-cutter or a strip mall,” she says. Malloy, who started the business with her husband, Jim Malloy, named the boutique after her accessory-loving grandmother. “She’s very fashion forward, even at 73,” she says. Although Malloy uses the Internet and social media to promote the boutique, she says it is really a word-of-mouth place. Bunky and the nearby Spoken Boutique refer customers to each other rather than compete for them. Sharing the historic house with Bunky Boutique is the brightly colored, one-of-a-kind Red Dog Gallery. In its fifth year, the gallery occupies the remaining 1,000 square feet of the building. Red Dog Gallery features art mostly related to, well, dogs, of course. The reason behind the canine creations is pretty simple: Owner Randy Kinkel just loves dogs. “They’re just near and dear to my heart,” he says. So, why Red Dog? “I wanted a colorful, vibrant, fun place, and red seemed to personify that,” Kinkel says. Kinkel, who has lived in Phoenix for 16 years, hoped the gallery would provide a “stable and predictable place” for local and regional artists to display their art when he opened it in the fall of 2004. The gallery also includes art from Kinkel himself, who has been interested in it since he was a kid. Although dog-related art is the main theme of the gallery, Kinkel has expanded his gallery to include more of a variety. Paintings of monkeys and giraffes hang on one wall, while another wall is dedicated to abstract paintings. The gallery also displays photography, drawings on records and bottle caps, and sculptures made out of a variety of materials. Kinkel is open to featuring all kinds of art, especially anything that is colorful and unique, and tries to rotate the artwork often. Across the street from Red Dog Gallery and Bunky Boutique is a place that combines both art and fashion: Phoenicia Association. Phoenicia, which opened in August, is a men’s clothing store/art gallery combo, displaying works from many local artists. The name comes from the ancient Phoenicia culture, whose alphabet influenced the logo. “They were actually known to not have any significant cultural identification, meaning they basically took from all the cultures around them and called it their own, which I thought was fairly fitting for Phoenix,” says Kyle Simone, co-owner and co-founder of the business. “We like the idea of being an association — as in, you can be an associate of ours.” Simone said that Phoenicia Association is modeled after similar places in other big cities, including San Francisco, Chicago and New York City. “In my travels, I’ve found that a lot of my favorite boutiques are also art galleries,” he says. Simone said he and business partner Jeff Mann believe that art and fashion are “one in the same.” “The garments we present are not only high-functionality everyday garments you can wear, but they’re engineered in a manner that presents them as art,” Simone says. Phoenicia tries to bring in handmade, detailed international brands with that are much different from any other found in the Phoenix area. “We want to bring in these things that are going on in other places and give them a place in Phoenix,” Mann says. Some of the brands include Wrath Arcane, April 77 Records, Hixsept, 3Sixteen, Beta Unit, Naked & Famous Denim, Dearly Departed and Continental Clothing. In September, Phoenicia displayed artwork from nearly 25 artists, about half from Arizona and half from California. This month, they plan to bring in three Phoenix-based photographers. “For the most part, we have been working with local artists, but we’re working towards bringing in some more names that show in other places also,” Mann says. Mann and Simone say the historic building they spent three-and-a-half months renovating was a good choice for their business. “We put a lot of work into this place, and we feel like it really is a good location for what we want to do,” Mann said. “We really feel like in the future this area is going to see the most growth in Phoenix.” While many other businesses were getting ready to close their doors during the economic downturn, Phoenicia Association was preparing to open theirs. “We believe that we’re catching this on the upswing,” Simone says. “We believe this is the start of the regrowth of our economy, as well as specifically the Downtown Phoenix area.” Simone said the recession actually provided them with opportunities they may not have had any other time. "In the scheme of things, this afforded us the availability to get into a good location and into a part of the town that might not have monetarily been available to us a couple of years ago,” he says. Simone adds that he hopes that opening the business will give people “confidence in their dollar.” Simone and Mann say they feel their business has been successful so far. “For the point we’re at right now, I think we’re right on pace for where we had basically set our goals,” Mann says. “It was a success just opening the store. It was a lot of hard work.” Bunky Boutique, 812 N. 3rd St., is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Red Dog Gallery, 812 N. 3rd St., is open on First Fridays from 6 to 11 p.m., and every Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Phoenicia Association, 821 N. 3rd St., is open Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. [gallery columns="4"] All photos by Christina O'Haver ]]> 4953 0 0 0 1210 http://www.wearephoenicia.com/educate/?p=250 0 0 1226 http://travel-blogs.org/phoenix/get-your-boutique-on-bunky-phoenicia-and-red%c2%a0dog/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/07/hold-horses-modified-arts-dying/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:10:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4967 Modified Arts, a premature outrage ensued, before anyone really considered who is taking over the space. Enter Kim Larkin and Adam Murray, a husband-and-wife duo that, truth be told, has some pretty stellar ideas for the space. Don’t get too heated; your beloved indie rock mecca won’t be the same, but it won’t be that different, either. Yeah, they’re a young couple, but they’re confident, experienced and truly quite innovative. With these two at the helm, Modified Arts is only growing, not fading away. Murray, who has been working sound at shows at Modified Arts for some time, has an extensive background in audio engineering. He is confident people will find that music will not be leaving Modified Arts — it’s simply being refocused to better fit the space. “Being at Modified doing sound, it’s obvious music is a big thing there,” Murray says. “Kimber was willing to give up-and-coming musicians a venue to express themselves. So, going forward, I knew not just on the visual side, but also on the audio side, focusing on up-and-coming artists, showcasing something different is important.” There’s also the business aspect. Murray and Larkin agree that Modified Arts has really been two separate entities — the music and the art — and they’ve been pretty exclusive. People who came for music didn’t really care about the art on the walls, and vice versa. “We want to make it a unified experience,” Murray says. “It’s a matter of having things there that fit the space. The room is shaped like a U. I was constantly pulling my hair out trying to do sound there. We’ll take advantage of the intimate setting — that’s something that people really like about Modified. I want to capitalize on that. There are artists that will work well within the space.” Murray, in particular, is interested in continuing to foster Downtown Phoenix’s music scene. Just because a band won’t work well in Modified Arts doesn’t mean he won’t help to find them a show elsewhere. He counts consistent interaction between venues and arts spaces as key to Downtown's growth. In fact, he’s hoping more venues pop up to help bring more artists Downtown. So, that’s out of the way. Now we all know: Don’t write off Modified Arts for your live music intake. Meanwhile, Larkin is planning an improved focus on visual arts that will really support emerging artists. Larkin’s background is in gallery management, and she opened a gallery with a friend in Salt Lake City soon after graduating. She’s parlaying that experience into Modified Arts, and respecting the tradition it has earned. “Modified Arts has always been about the community and building it from the ground up,” Larkin says. “That’s absolutely something we want to maintain and help grow. Change can be difficult, but change can be good, too.” During the period between the current Modified Arts’ last show and the reopening for January’s Third Friday, Larkin and Murray will be touching up the space to be more suitable for exhibiting visual art. They plan to open the space up a bit more and give it a better flow, but they’re committed to keeping the building’s current charm and personality. “What we want to focus on is creating an overall experience for people,” Larkin says. “We want it to be something they can take away with them, too. We want people to interact and converse. Too often people feel inhibited in a gallery. We want to find ways to break down those barriers.” Larkin cites different ways attendees will get involved — everything from artist meet-and-greets, to audience participation at experimental music performances, to educational and speaking events. She is hopeful that this renewed sense of place will inspire all kinds of presentations within the space. Having spent time in Salt Lake City and most recently Pittsburgh together, Larkin and Murray moved to the Valley for Murray to attend the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences. With gallery experience already under her belt, Larkin started contacting anyone in the arts scene she could find. Naturally, she met Lanning, and kept returning to Modified Arts for openings. Murray enjoyed doing sound at Modified shows so much, he finished his intern work and volunteered to stay on board. “To be honest, when we moved here, I thought we’d stay for Adam’s program; I didn’t think there would be many opportunities, so I figured we’d move on someplace else,” Larkin says. “Over time, it proved us wrong. Since moving Downtown, it’s been like a breath of fresh air. “When I moved here, everything felt new and young. There’s this vibrancy; it feels like there is a lot happening here, as opposed to Pittsburgh, which comes from old money. It’s exciting because you can influence that growth and take part in it.”]]> 4967 0 0 0 1229 0 0 1204 0 0 1218 http://northphoenixblog.blogspot.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/09/insecure-critic-losing-religulous-st-francis/ Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:44:02 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=4993 Religulous I grew up in a household where Sunday church attendance was assumed, the Bible was memorized, and converting others was encouraged. I was better off than some, because I was never told that having faith meant checking my critical thinking at the door, but there were certain things, like the absolute infallibility of the Bible, that I was told never to question. This is the lens through which I watched another movie that is on my "must see" list: Religulous. It is a travel-style documentary that follows commentator Bill Maher as he visits with the faithful of many religions, pointing out the obvious inconsistencies and hypocrisies of their worldviews. There is the standard cadre of usual suspects: The idiots at the Creation Museum in Kentucky who have an exhibit featuring a triceratops with a saddle, the Prosperity Gospel minister who insists that Jesus was wealthy and fashionable and the Orthodox Jew who has devoted his life to finding loopholes in Sabbath observance. There were also sincere believers who, foolish as their actions may be, were kind and loving. My favorite scene featured a group of burly truckers whom Maher described as being Christ-like. He made the insightful observation in their trucker's chapel service that he understands why people who feel like they have nothing else — like those in prison or on a battlefield — cling to faith, but is befuddled by people living safe, secure, normal lives who feel the need to seek out a higher authority to explain how the world works. While the narrator and lead character, Bill Maher, appears to be the chief instigator, Religulous has director Larry Charles' fingerprints all over it. Maher's personal and political perspective is essential to the film, but Charles' penchant for ambushing people who may not even realize that they have ridiculous beliefs is what makes the picture worthwhile. Charles also brilliantly injects vintage footage into the film, reminding us that religion has been around for a while, and will continue to be around for a while longer. The one part of the film in which we see Maher take over, a lengthy diatribe that blames religion for virtually every evil ever to occur on earth, ends up a mess. As Maher's polemic blares, we see clips of wars, pestilence and famine, all presumably brought about by man's pursuit of God. Maher's impeccable timing and demeanor paid off in what was probably the most poignant moment of the film. While interviewing Sen. Mark Pryor, Maher asked whether the American people could trust a lawmaker who believed in things like talking snakes. When Pryor responded with "well, you don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate" Maher was able to maintain complete composure, nonplussed as Pryor awkwardly tried to chuckle his way out of his obvious misstatement. Was Religulous a bit condescending and snarky? Of course. It certainly wasn't intended to change anyone's mind about the world, so in that sense it was, well, preaching to the choir. But, it was an interesting trip with some brilliant minds.

St. Francis

Well, what better way to reflect on Religulous than our very own holy-sounding St. Francis, Aaron Chamberlin's creation on Camelback Road just east of Central. I visited with a friend and barely made it into the packed parking lot that it shares with Red Modern Furniture, one of my favorite furniture browsing galleries. The parking lot was so crowded, in fact, that the valet ended up parking my car in the neighboring AutoZone lot. It took a moment to figure out how to get in the restaurant, but once we determined that the front door was, indeed, in the front, we were promptly seated. The decor is clever, contemporary and meticulously executed — lots of exposed wood, steel, concrete, etc. The kitchen isn't open as much as it is the center and hub of activity of the space. We started out with a baked goat cheese appetizer, which consists of a tomato sauce topped with goat cheese, garnished with a walnut pesto baked in a small crock. Served with crostini, it is one of the best starters I have had in Phoenix in a long time. The cheese was just the right balance, and the walnut pesto was perfectly conceived and executed. Of the vegetarian options (one of which appears to be a mishmash of veggies designed to quiet an outspoken activist that you accidentally bring on a date), I chose the flatbread with black mission figs and goat cheese, topped with arugula. The light, crispy flatbread was divine and the figs balanced the goat cheese perfectly. A nutty arugula was the perfect crown for this brick oven masterpiece, and I was sad that I could only finish half of the dish in one sitting. Downsides? Everything in the kitchen seems to be right on track, although the price points seem just slightly on the high side. Dinner for two with one glass of wine worked out to $52 plus gratuity. The service and ambiance were worth it, though... Oh, and you have to check out the bathroom sinks — they are clever.]]> 4993 0 0 0 1227 http://travel-blogs.org/phoenix/the-insecure-critic-losing-my-%e2%80%98religulous%e2%80%99-at-st-%c2%a0francis/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/08/creative-space-grand-ave-art-scene/ Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:29:18 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5000 Originally part of a 1920s neighborhood grocery store, this freestanding building, completely redeveloped in 2006, is now part of a small creative complex shared by an architect and a local real estate development company.

There's a new bright spot in Downtown Phoenix for foodies with an eye for the organic, natural and hip. Chemical Relief, a snack shop with plans to one day be a cooperative grocery, has opened residence on the main floor of the monOrchid. Nestled amid the local tenants of the building, which over the years have included various studios, production houses, designers and attorneys, Chemical Relief was the answer to bad digestive issues and a city that needed more natural selections. [caption id="attachment_5053" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Chemical Relief owner Doug Davis enjoys one of his favorite products at the shop: coconut water. "][/caption] The brainchild of Doug Davis, the shop is filled with the types of food that he says helped him recover from a painful digestive disorder. "I'm a sufferer of Crohn's disease," Davis says. "I was diagnosed at 16, and I was on the operating table at 23. I was about to have another surgery when I asked the doctor if I would be cured after this. He bluntly said, 'No, you'll probably have many more surgeries in your life.'" That bleak statement made Davis sit back and consider other options. "My reaction was, there's gotta be a better way," he says. That better way took the former food broker down a path that he says led to complete recovery from the disease. "I healed myself of that using whole foods, supplements, probiotics and digestive enzymes," Davis says. "Natural foods has helped change my life extraordinarily." The shop now carries some of those items Davis used, as well as quite a random assortment of grocery store-like products, including baby care, bath products and car wash materials. Davis also carries some fair trade jewelry, with proceeds going directly back to the makers. [caption id="attachment_5054" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="First Friday goers browse through Chemical Relief."][/caption] The selection is still relatively small, as the store has only been open a few weeks, but it was heavily trafficked during October's First Friday. The monOrchid location on Roosevelt Street between 2nd and 3rd streets is one of the most traveled areas, and many stopped in because they were steered in from the volunteer outside, or to check out the gallery in the back of the building or use the restrooms. "I just want to make all this stuff available to the community," Davis says. "There's not anywhere within 10 miles to buy natural food, really." The store has about 100 to 150 products on its shelves so far. Some of them are sourced locally, like Laura's Granola from Tempe. One of Davis' favorites: canned coconut water. "It's the best substance on earth for you to drink," he says. "It's the most easily absorbed substance and it's the original Gatorade." Chemical Relief doesn't have set hours yet, but most days passersby can see Davis and a crew of volunteers manning the shop. He sees setting those hours, expanding to a full co-op, adding a coffee shop and Internet bar all on the horizon. "I just want to make all this stuff available, Davis says. "I think the community's going to be extremely supportive."

Why should you buy one? Well, to publicly voice that Downtown Phoenix's music and arts scene is far from dead just because of a few recent events. In fact, it's only continuing to grow. New opportunities will undoubtedly start popping up soon. Second, Means and company are donating all sales profits to local charities, so you really have no excuse. "The plan right now is to spread the proceeds around to a handful of local charities — Local First, Roosevelt Row, etc.," Means says. "For now, they will only be available online, but we're going to do our best to get them in some local retail shops ASAP. I just want to make sure people know this isn't a battle between Phoenix and Tempe... or anywhere else. It's just a reaction to a statement made specifically about the place we live/work, and hopefully we can make it stronger with a little bit of sarcasm." There.

Perhaps what Phoenix needs is an epic menu item that could be talked about around campfires and whispered in school halls. So, with a rumbly in my tumbly, I set out to discover something that could rock my palate. My destination was local favorite patio hangout, Local Breeze. I was told about a savory monster that resided mid-menu here, the Fire Island. This behemoth comes loaded with diced chicken, red onions, green chilies and cream cheese sauce all on top of a housemade pizza crust, slathered with melted Dofino cheese. It is truly a sight to behold. As if it didn’t pile high enough, my hankerin’ stomach pushed to top that thing off with two eggs. Trust me, it seemed like a good idea at the time. So, once they wheelbarrow that massive beast out to me, the feast begins. It has a spicy kick (hence the "fire"), but is flavorful and scrumptious. The eggs, chicken, cheese, chilies, onion and soft, chewy crust dance around in my belly —  a food party that all are invited to. It was a magical moment. But, my delight is stalled when I realize that I have developed quite a protruding tummy, and I was only about halfway through. Let me remind you folks, I was raised right, where you are supposed to clean your plate and say please, thank you and howdy. This was one of those times that I failed my heritage. I only tell you so that you can take the Fire Island challenge for yourself. Load that beast up with eggs and all the fixins and see how well you fare. This might be close to that epic meal that us Phoenicians can whisper about. You should see for yourself. Local Breeze is located at 606 N. 4th Ave. (light rail stop at Central/1st Avenue and Van Buren) and serves up Fire Islands Tuesday-Sunday.]]> 5108 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/19/rocky-votolato-living-room/ Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:39:36 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5059 ovah," it may just be a perfect fit. In one of the most ambitious, original and risky tours of the year, acoustic crooner Rocky Votolato will be playing in a living room in Downtown Phoenix. And, he'll be playing one in Gilbert. And, many others all over America. He rolls into Phoenix on Tuesday, October 27. [caption id="attachment_5230" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Rocky Votolato is playing a living room in Downtown Phoenix October 27"][/caption] It turns out that the tour is sort of a far-flung idea one of Votolato's close friends, fellow Seattle musician David Bazan, had a while back. "I just wanted to do some low-profile shows to play some songs from my new record that will be coming out early next year," Votolato says. Since the record won't be out till then, this is a good way for me to get comfortable playing the new songs and also get back in touch with the fans that really care about my music and what I'm doing. I haven't been touring much for several years, and I really liked the idea of playing for very small audiences." Votolato took the idea and ran with it, enlisting a ticketing agency and soliciting help from people all over the country. Local concert promoter "Psyko" Steve Chilton, who has been booking Votolato in the Valley since 2001, was eager to help. "It is a really neat concept," Chilton says of the tour. "I am all about doing anything different and cool. His agent reached out to ask me to help spread the word that they were looking for a house in Phoenix. He wasn't even asking me to host it, just let people know they were doing it. I just asked if I could host it — it was really simple." Though there's no venue overhead and Votolato is sometimes playing multiple dates in a metro area, this isn't a money maker for him. "Compared to a regular club tour, I'm making a lot less money on these trips after expenses because of the limited number of tickets," Votolato says. "But, I still wanted to do this to try and get back in touch with why I started playing music in the first place, and to give my fans a chance to have a more personal experience." Votolato tested out a few West Coast living rooms earlier this year. Now he's moving further east, playing in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Las Vegas before heading to the East Coast for two weeks in November. "These shows create a really intimate environment that is ideal for playing acoustic songs," Votolato says. "I'm not even using a PA, so it's super organic." But, it's a bit more involved than simply finding the first bidder to offer up his or her house. Votolato and his team arduously picked through photos of houses, streets and living rooms to find the best fit in each city. It turns out Chilton's house in the Garfield district ended up working well, especially considering Votolato has performed a handful of times down the street at Modified Arts. "There was no hesitation to let an old friend come over and play," Chilton says. As for Votolato, there are no regrets in undertaking a trek like this. He'll be back touring traditional venues and bars next year, but this laid back experience has been joyous. "I'm really grateful to each of  the very gracious people volunteering their homes for the evening," Votolato remarks. "My impression has been that all the hosts and all the fans that have come to these shows have had a great time so far." Rocky Votolato will be playing in Downtown Phoenix on Tuesday, October 27.

With 15 days until the home opener of the 2009-2010 Phoenix Suns season, we haven’t much time. Time for what, you may ask. Time for change. I’m not asking for a change in personnel. I’m not one of those guys that’s going to sit here and say, “Fire Kerr,” or “Trade STAT.” The change I’m talking about must come from the fans.

As a season ticket holder, I’ve noticed the crowd at US Airways Center doesn’t always seem to bring it. Now, granted, there are the few occasions when teams such as the Lakers or Spurs are in town and the people in attendance really get up for the game. What we need is that same intensity every time out. As fans, we complain when players only show up half the time. We demand better of them, but shouldn’t we also demand better of ourselves?

I attended a few Mercury playoff games this year, and I think Suns fans could take note of the Mercury faithful. While the number of people in attendance was much lower than what you see at a Suns game, the fans there were far more involved. Everyone was constantly up and out of their seats, cheering. I saw people standing the whole game. That’s what I want to see at Suns games. Everyone on their feet. And, I don’t want to hear that excuse that if you stand, the people behind you can’t see. If they want to see, they can stand, too. They’re not watching a movie, they’re at a sporting event. Simply standing won’t cut it though. We need something unique that’s all our own. A few years back, Kings fans in Sacramento were known for having cowbells; why can’t we come up with something like that? I know there are fans out there with ideas — let's hear them! Let's come up with a signature chant that becomes second nature.

You can take the light rail for free to all Suns games this year.

It’s not just the fans that attend games that need to step it up, though. It’s the entire Downtown Phoenix community. Local businesses Downtown should be decked out in purple and orange. Whenever there’s a Suns game, it should be shown in every bar and restaurant in the area. Have drink specials. Some businesses are already ahead of the game. Bar Smith projects all Suns games on its rooftop. Majerle’s regularly gives out 15% off discount cards to patrons that stop by on game day. Tom’s Tavern offers free parking at Patriots’ Garage to anyone that dines there before heading to a game. Now let’s get some of the other bars to do the same. Coach & Willie’s, Cooper’stown and Stoudemire’s are just a few of the bars within walking distance of USAC. All of them should be running gameday specials. And, if they already are, I want to hear about them. Get them out to the people. Every time the Suns take the court, Downtown should be one big party, just as it is outside the arena before a game, with many local radio stations having games and giveaways. METRO is doing its part by giving free light rail rides to anyone with a Suns ticket. It’s up to us to do the rest.

So, this is your call to action, Suns fans. Let’s turn US Airways Center into a sea of orange. Let’s make it a place opposing teams fear visiting. The product on the court is going to be very entertaining. We just need to do our part. Give that little extra push. We can be the difference. And, when we are, good things will happen, on and off the court.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 09.13.09 I nervously went in AT to get my septum pierced (the cartilage inside the tip of my nose). I'd been in here a few times before to ask about stretching my ears, and every time I went in I was given excellent service by their piercer/tattoo artist up front, Brent, aka B-Bird. Unfortunately, they don't sell much jewelry beyond your basic needs. No cool gauges or plugs for me, and the closest place is Halo and their selection is boring and overpriced. I usually just order my jewelry by way of the internet now (http://bodyartforms.com). I was told up front the piercing would be $40 including jewelry. I signed my paper stating regulations regarding piercings as B-Bird got his stuff ready. I sat down in the chair and tried to relax the best I could. B-Bird informed me of all the precautions and how to take care of my piercings, then told me to take a deep breath and I closed my eyes. The second it went through my eyes watered up, but before I knew it I was done. It looks awesome, I'm super excited for it to heal, and B-Bird did a great job taking care of me.

Seeing as how it is Third Friday, there will be a number of cultural exhibits, including a rad collection of vintage cars; and a collection of artwork that honors Phoenix's past, present and future. (Personally, we're pretty excited to see crazy artistic interpretations of Phoenix in 2075.) As part of the dedication, the unveiling of A.E. England's Artlink gallery will feature "For the Love of Money," a collection of work by local mixed-media artist Siri Khandavilli. Other galleries will have art on display throughout the park. After witnessing the dedication ceremony and strolling through the gallery, open up your picnic dinner, spread out the blanket, and groove to the sweet tunes of the Sugar Thieves, who will be rocking the park stage.

I started making a mental list of all of the innovations in recent years, and kept coming back to one place: ASU's Downtown campus. It's no secret that ASU president Michael Crow has green on the brain, and he has made it the university's mission to pursue any and all green innovations full throttle. What initiative could be more important smack in the middle of the Sonoran Desert than water conservation? Luckily, ASU is already helping us conserve every day. Just take a look at the collection of new buildings that focus on conservation, preservation and reuse.

Arizona Biomedical Collaborative

A lot of water flows through a building that is more than 85,000 square feet. So, when ASU and U of A drew up plans for this massive biomedical facility, keeping water use to a minimum was high on the list of needed features. Up for LEED designation, the Biomedical Collaborative reduces potable water by 40% with low-flow and dry fixtures. Outside, in the dry desert air, the conservation is even more important. The Biomedical Collaborative utilizes high-efficiency irrigation, along with the use of native and adaptive plants to reduce potable water usage for landscaping by 63%.

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication/KAET 8 Building

The Cronkite School building has quickly changed the Downtown Phoenix skyline, and it's trying to change the way we conserve water as well. The building, set to be designated LEED Silver, is designed with the same low-flow and dry fixtures as the Biomedical Collaborative, but it also has a rooftop rainwater retrieval system that stores the rain that falls on the Valley, allowing for reuse within the building at a later time. We don't get much rain here, so we might as well keep it! [caption id="attachment_5147" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Taylor Place"][/caption]

Taylor Place

The Downtown Phoenix campus' dormitories, Taylor Place, may look like a typical high-rise residential unit, but the desert climate was a big factor in the towers' design. Drought-tolerant plants, watered by a condensate byproduct of the air conditioning system, were planted throughout the grounds. Dual-flush toilets and low-flow fixtures were installed in every restroom. Even the major appliances in Taylor Place are Energy Star approved, conserving both water usage and electricity. This is just the beginning. The newly finished Nursing and Healthcare Innovation building will soon be up for LEED designation. Civic Space Park, adjacent to ASU, will reach 70% shade coverage upon vegetation maturity. And, you can bet any and all future improvements and new builds by the university will have this same conservation approach in mind.]]> 5146 0 0 0 1248 http://www.siwrites.com 1247 21 1247 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/22/conventional-wisdom-pacific-coast-orthodontists-best-western/ Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:28:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5153 It’s a beautiful time of year, and the Phoenix Convention Center will delight out-of-state visitors.

Looking over your itinerary, we can't help but notice you're going to have some free time to explore the heart of our city. Weather report Average high: 89° Average low: 63º Breaks/lunch If you find yourself on your own for lunch, Downtown Phoenix is a veritable mecca of eateries. Sink your teeth into a sub sandwich from Sticklers, where you can rub elbows with some of Phoenix's finest, or grab a gyro from Crazy Jim's — both are only a few blocks from the Convention Center at 3rd Avenue and Washington Street. Give them a try when you have a short break. If you have some time to sit and relax for a bit, savor our perfect patio weather and head over to Local Breeze on Fillmore Street and 4th Avenue for some lavosh with a side of ambiance. Dinner Phoenix dinner options span across many regions and continents, and local homegrown dinner options are on the rise in Downtown Phoenix, with even more options if you hop on the METRO light rail. Moira Sushi Bar & Kitchen is a short hop from most Downtown hotels, and here you can find a creative spin on traditional sushi in a casual, urban environment. PastaBAR is just around the corner, dishing out housemade pasta late into the night — until midnight on weekdays, and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Check out our Eats & Drinks tab for even more options. Local culture While you are in the area, take some time to soak in the local culture at the Phoenix Art Museum's current exhibit "Locals Only," which is showcasing some of the Valley's most talented resident artists. From here you can meander to the world famous Heard Museum, just up the street, or head back down to city center to explore some of our smaller galleries, such as Red Dog Gallery. Head a few blocks over for some wearable art at Made Art Boutique. Nightlife After taking in what our Downtown galleries have to offer, make a pit stop on your way back to the hotel in the Evans-Churchill neighborhood, where some of Phoenix's historic homes have been renovated into low-key hangouts. The Lost Leaf offers a small local art gallery, beer and wine by the bottle and live music, while The Roosevelt touts its own house brewski and unique bar snacks, including grilled cheese sandwiches and soft pretzels with an array of mustards. Getting around RailLife.com's quick METRO light rail tip: Light rail has increased hours on Friday and Saturday nights (technically Saturday and Sunday mornings), running until 2 a.m. Check out RailLife.com for more light rail information. These suggestions are merely a grain of sand in the desert oasis of Downtown Phoenix. Our calendar will help you find events and happenings that best suit you.

Participants saw firsthand that law firms, development companies and retailers are also active participants in the preservation and revitalization of Downtown’s historic warehouse district. The crowd, ranging from city officials to business people, real estate agents, community activists and interested citizens, received a guided tour of three outstanding examples of adaptive use and revitalization. During the tour, we learned about the about the process involved in renovating of these important historical buildings. We also saw firsthand why this Downtown area continues to gain popularity among business owners and residents. The group met in the top floor of the Luhrs Building at 11 W. Jefferson St. for breakfast and introductions. Dan Klocke from the Downtown Phoenix Partnership and Barbara Stocklin from the Phoenix Historic Preservation Office provided a brief overview of the day’s events as well as some history of the Luhrs Building. Local businessman George H.N. Luhrs constructed the building in 1924 to celebrate the emerging city of Phoenix. The building’s top floor was the original home of the Arizona Club, a social organization of pioneering Valley families. Today, after extensive renovations and repairs by Hanji Urban, it is home to the law offices of Hagens Berman, LLP. Renovations to the rest of the building continue, including cleaning of the building's brick face and reopening of the transom windows above the street-level storefronts. The building's rehabilitation is being partially funded by a Demonstration Project Grant from the Phoenix Historic Preservation Office. The group then boarded Ollie the Trolley (and his partners Dolly and Molly) who transported us to the Anchor Manufacturing Building at 525 S. Central Ave. Built in 1928, the Anchor Building was orginally an iron works factory, notable for producing original iron work installed at the Orpheum Theater. A classic example of adaptive reuse, the building has seen many uses throughout is 81 years life, including an auto body shop, a city bus garage, a beer distributorship and a produce market. It is now owned by Steve and Andi Rosenstien, and is now home to R&R Surplus, a vintage clothing company. The couple has big plans for the building that is affectionately called "the Duce;" a sobriquet given by the police when the warehouse was home to some more disreputable activities after business hours. Starting in February, in addition to picking up some vintage clothing, you’ll be able to grab a drink from a bar taken from the Black Orchid Club in Chicago (the Rosensteins' previous home), buy some organic vegetables, sample some ‘vintage’ Milwaukee beers, get a great hot dog, buy a vintage bicycle, or just watch the crowd go by from atop a set a bleachers rescued from the original St. Mary’s High School gymnasium (on the present site of the Arizona Center). Stay tuned to DPJ for more details on the grand opening in the new year. The next stop on the tour was the Arizona Hardware Supply Building at 22 E. Jackson St. Constructed in 1928 as a warehouse for building supplies, it has since stored ammunition, refrigeration equipment, radios and fans. The building was purchased a few years ago by Dudley Ventures, a developer specializing in community revitalization projects. Leading by example, the company — with the help of a Warehouse and Threatened Building Grant through the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office — has carefully restored this once-neglected stucco building and carefully restored and adapted it into an industrial modern office space that houses its new office. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="338" caption=" Mayor Gordon at the Arizona Hardware Supply Building. Photograph by Stephen G. Barr"][/caption] The tour, hosted by Dudley Ventures founder Jim Howard, highlighted the extensive work that was done to restore the building and convert it to a functioning office space. In addition, we were shown a special feature in the firm’s break room: a large mural created by painter Joseph Perez, an artist from Neighborhood Ministries. The mural represents rebirth and revitalization that fits well with Dudley Ventures' community revitalization mission. Mayor Gordon joined the group at the Arizona Hardware building. During his remarks, the mayor emphasized the importance of preserving our authenticity and diversity through the reuse of historic buildings next to new developments like CityScape. He also reiterated how the projects highlighted during the tour are contributing to Phoenix’s urban revitalization. All in all, the Downtown Phoenix Historic Building & Warehouse Tour was a great experience that highlighted a few of the many hidden assets of Downtown Phoenix. Not only do projects such as these give Phoenicians authentic places to work, live and play in the heart of Downtown, but they also support Phoenix’s rich architectural history and heritage — necessary ingredients in any great city.

We were a true blue (or red, I guess) Reagan household, yet there was something about this simple guy harassing the executives at GM that our family found satisfying, and even vindicating. My dad had worked in the auto industry, and, like me, he had a complicated relationship with big business. He wore an anti-UAW button when the factory he worked at tried to unionize, but he was also willing to expose the evils caused by the greed of the corporatists at the top of the ladder — eventually leading to his early retirement. For as long as I can remember, I have looked critically at systems of authority — including economic systems.

Rand and Me

Ayn Rand's works have been the prime literary influences on my life, yet I look at what has happened in the alleged free market system that we have in America now, and I know it would have my beloved Objectivist turning in her grave. Rand was the defender of unfettered creativity and innovation, not an advocate for the federal rescue of financial charlatans who create nothing yet rush to the teat of the state when their castles crumble into their sand foundations. Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story is a biting polemic that bounces back and forth between storytelling and bloviating, but it forces the viewer to take an honest look at the system that we have come to call capitalism. Moore points out that the way the free market is supposed to work, local merchants (think butcher, baker, candlestick maker) offer their goods and services, allowing the public to vote with their dollars to choose the best businessperson. This is a system that can work swimmingly, and people like me of an anarcho-capitalist bent advocate for such a system. The real problem, though, is when transactions like derivatives on financial markets somehow become tied to the term "capitalism." There is a strong distinction between an innovator who comes up with a new way of refrigerating produce or a new way of generating electricity and someone whose only addition to society (if you could call it that) is the ability to create a financial instrument so complicated that no lawyer or regulator could ever figure out exactly what it is.

No thanks, I'll keep living here

As expected in a Moore film, there were a couple of tear-jerking moments. The moment in which I wanted to stand up and cheer in the theater was when a group of community activists in Florida staged a sort of sit-in at a foreclosed home, peacefully moving the family's possessions back inside and remaining on the lawn en masse until the authorities left the property, allowing the family to stay. This kind of direct action against a filthy system is precisely what we need. If more people refused to collaborate with the fraud of the banks, the banks would have to change the way they do things. Moore highlights two heroes in this respect: Marcy Kaptur, a Congresswoman from Ohio who openly advocated on the floor of the House that people refuse to leave their homes when they were foreclosed on. Similarly, Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans is shown placing a moratorium on foreclosure sales in his jurisdiction.

Who's running things?

I appreciate Moore's highlighting of the Citibank memo that described the new system of government in America as a "plutonomy" led by a management elite. I, too, have become disgusted with what constitutes the wealthy class these days. Most of the top 1% of income earners are not creators, not people who started an innovative business in their garage, but instead a bunch of overpriced, bloated managers who just hung on longer than everyone else to become a C-something in a company. They add nothing of value; instead they just hope that inertia will keep them and their multi-million-dollar paychecks safe. And, speaking of the brilliant people in our society, Moore points out that our nation's universities, who once cranked out the best mathematicians in the world, are now producing math whizzes who, hampered with six-figure student loan debt, go to work on Wall Street, where instead of producing the next advances in science, physics or engineering, they create complicated financial products that actually make the country worse off.

What hedge fund would Jesus invest in?

I grew up in a community where capitalism, patriotism and Christianity were so closely intertwined as to become indistinguishable from one another. I have grown up and thought a lot about what it really means to be a Christian, if that is what one chooses to call oneself. Today, Christians tend to place Jesus on a white horse fighting for the free market, when in fact he said that the rich are going to have the most trouble entering the Kingdom of Heaven. He told people to give others the clothes off their own back if someone asks. These divine admonitions don't sound anything like the near-religious fervor with which Christians discuss the wonder of the profit motive in the free market. Flummoxed by this contradiction, Moore interviews a number of Catholic priests and a bishop who agree that Christianity isn't compatible with the system known as capitalism. Sure, you could find just as many televangelists who would disagree with their conclusions, but it is refreshing to hear people who claim to be on the side of Jess actually talking like he did for once.

Final thoughts

Was there grandstanding? Absolutely. Did Moore bend the truth a bit? Of course. Do I like his solution (democratic socialism)? Not at all. But, did he force me to think about the consequences of living in a system that explicitly depends on taking advantage of others? You bet your Flint, Michigan ass.]]> 5217 0 0 0 1292 http://www.youtube.com/flintpublic 0 0 1386 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/20/dpj-yelper-week-erin-landis-cyclery/ Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:16:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5236 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 07.23.09 After a very frustrating bike shopping experience I went over to Landis to see what kind of selection and customer service they offered. I stopped by on a Saturday morning and met Rob who spent the next 45 minutes going over bicycles and options with me. When I gave him my budget he directed me to a Trek 7100 and went over the details and differences between a WSD and men's bike. Then we went out back and I rode the bike, which was slightly embarrassing, seeing as how I'm a total spaz. He didn't laugh though, and watched me ride with an expert's eye to my positioning so he could tell me about adjustments and bike customization. I tried out two different sizes of the Trek and went through a number of seat adjustments before we decided which would be the best fit. I felt really good about it and when we went back in he happily put together an invoice for me with all the bicycle accessories which he went over one by one in depth as well. Rob also spoke to the owner and was able to throw in the heavy duty tubes and slime for free for me, as well as a water bottle and cage. The total came within my budget, which really sealed the deal. We talked about servicing the bike and the changes I would notice in it in the first month or so of riding it and he said I could come in for my bike's "90 day check up" for free. I came back on Monday to pay for the bike and ride it home (six whole miles!) and while Rob wasn't there, another employee very helpfully went over all of my details again, told me about service options, answered more questions I'd come up with and in general was another nice bike guy I'll be glad to see when I come in for tune ups. The only problem with Landis is that I don't live closer and the ride home was terrifying. I will load it onto a bus when I have to go back, for SURE. I've been riding every day since I got it (4 days ago) and think I made the best possible decision. Thanks again to Landis for all the help and attention with my first bike purchase!

Those are some big words for a little cantina-looking place, but I felt it needed to be addressed via my palate. Now, at first glance, this little stop on the eastern side of 7th Street looks like your average little Mexican dining place. Salsa music permeating the air, a crowded porch covered in Corona advertisements — all wrapped into an eclectically colored abode. So, once I manage to push my way through the lunchtime masses gathered on the porch and across the inside dining area, I begin searching for a menu to properly order. Surprisingly, the menu is scribbled on the upper portion of the wall in chalk. Sounds childish, but it is kind of a cool little feature. And, from the looks of the packed place, I can imagine that most of you were already there that day. So, we ate lunch together and you didn’t even say hello. Ouch. When the cuisine arrives, the scent only seems to back up their claim. It is heavenly. Curiously though, it is served with a miniature slice of radish and cucumber. Not sure why, but the rabbit food is not what I was there to partake in. The taco seems simple enough — chopped, tender beef and lettuce with a side of salsa. So far, I’m only impressed by the scent. That little doubting voice in my head is immediately squished by each resounding bite. I can’t stop eating this. It is savory and decidedly awesome. There are not sufficient words to describe the flavor that rocked my face off. I will resort to borrowing some of my newly acquired Spanglish and say, “Fantasico!” So, even if you are a doubter of all things that are seemingly self-absorbed, I ask you to tempt the fates of America’s Taco Shop. I think they might actually be correct on this one. America's Taco Shop is located at 2041 N. 7th St. in Coronado.

There’s no way they won’t. There’s just too much talent on this team not to go into the postseason. With Steve Nash and Grant Hill returning, Amar'e Stoudemire coming back from an eye injury, Jason Richardson more comfortable in the lineup and the addition of Channing Frye, this team will be impossible to stop on offense. Scores in the 140s could become a regular occurrence for the guys in orange. Factor in a coach in Alvin Gentry that knows how to get his players to commit more on defense while still playing to their strengths on offense, and you have a team that can make some serious noise out West. [caption id="attachment_5255" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Can the Suns rule the West again?"][/caption] Figuring out what seed the Suns will be is an entirely different story altogether, although they won’t be any lower than the sixth seed in my opinion. For as tough as the West is this year, it’s pretty wide open after the Lakers and Spurs take the top two spots. As I look through the rest of the conference, I see a lot of question marks. Portland will be a top-four seed because they’ll win the Northwest easily. That’s really the only other lock I see. Dallas made a few improvements, but nothing drastic. Denver was a fluke last year, and did nothing to improve over the summer. New Orleans traded for Emeka Okafor, but is he really an upgrade over Tyson Chandler? I don’t think so. Utah has the whole Carlos Boozer, will-he-or-won't-he-leave issue to resolve. Until they do, they’ll struggle with that looming over their heads. With Yao Ming out for the entire season and Tracy McGrady scheduled to miss at least half, Houston is all but done. After that, what teams do you have to even compete for a playoff spot? Lots of people, including Chad Ford of ESPN, seem to think the Clippers are a playoff-caliber team, but that’s absolute nonsense. I’m not sure where all this Clippers love comes from... because of No. 1 draft pick Blake Griffin? He’s not going to make a difference in his first year. At the end of the day, they’re still the Clippers, and they’re still coached by Mike Dunleavy. If the Suns stay healthy and show even the slightest commitment on defense, they could finish as high as No. 3 out West and get home court advantage for at least a round in the playoffs. Maybe I’m going out on a bit of a limb here, but I’m a fan, and I’m going to back my team. This preseason has shown plenty of reason for hope, and hope is all you need. This hope tells me we’re going to finish somewhere between the third and sixth seeds. If you disagree, though, I’d love to hear why.

This Saturday, October 24, the Suns will be hosting the “R U ORNG? Suns Fest” at the US Airways Center in Downtown Phoenix. The fest runs from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The event is free, although fans are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items at the door. There's lots of fun to be had: the Suns annual scrimmage tips off at 1 p.m., and there will be pumpkin decorating, trick-or-treating and many more family-friendly activities.]]> 5252 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/21/hunt-tweets-win-treats/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:47:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5270 It's hard to make a buck in this sour economy, so most of us just sit and complain about it on Twitter all day. Luckily, Haus Modern Living owner Lew Gallo thought of a clever way to bring the two concepts together — spending money at deserving local businesses and tweeting while doing it. He's introducing TwitterHunt. The concept is pretty simple and fun, and it only requires that you want to spend some cash and have a Twitter account. Here's the scoop. Twelve local businesses will be participating in the event on November 12 (Haus, Oliver & Annie, Stinkweeds, Urban Cookies, Postino, Lisa G, Hula's Modern Tiki, Gallo Blanco Café, Maizie's, Frances, Red Hot Robot and Smeeks). This is how it works:

1. At 4 p.m. all of the businesses participating in the TwitterHunt will be sending out their first tweet instructing all of their followers to go to one of three businesses to begin.
2. When you arrive at the first business, you make a purchase and receive an envelope marked either A, B or C that contains a prize to be redeemed at another store in the hunt. DO NOT OPEN THE ENVELOPE OR THE PRIZE IS VOID!
3. At 5 p.m. you will receive the next tweet that lets you know which store to go to based on your marked envelope.
4. When you arrive at the next business, you hand the envelope to the cashier and they will open it and give you your prize.
5. To stay in the hunt, you then make a purchase at that store and receive another envelope marked A, B or C that works the same way. Wait until 6 p.m. to find out which store to proceed to next and claim your prize. The tweets will be sent out every hour on the hour from 4 until 8 p.m. — that’s 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 p.m. TwitterHunt is over at 10 p.m.

Just a few years ago, Jordre was a middle school teacher in Minnesota.  Today, he’s a well-known local artist who was recently named the New Times “Best Artist Who Colors Outside the Lines.” Before moving to Phoenix, a high school drafting class was the only formal art training that Jordre had ever taken. His background is in primary education, a career he pursued for nearly a decade, teaching fifth and sixth grade social studies in a middle school in Egan, MN, a Minneapolis suburb. Needing a shift in perspective, he took some time off and moved to San Diego, then headed to San Francisco after landing a job as a corporate trainer for a Silicon Valley high-tech firm. After a few years in this field, including a brief stint in North Carolina, Jordre remained restless. It wasn’t until he was renovating his North Carolina home in 2005 that Jordre stumbled upon painting. Needing a piece of art to fill a blank wall in his home, he picked up a canvas from a craft store, filled two plastic condiment bottles with paint and started splattering away. His hands ached for weeks afterward. But, it was worth the temporary pain, as it launched his career as an artist. The original piece now hangs in his parents' home. [caption id="attachment_5354" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Jordre Studio. Photograph courtesy of Kyle Jordre."][/caption] Jordre moved to Phoenix in the spring of 2006. He had visited on several occasions, and enjoyed the culture of First Friday art walks. While looking for houses, on a whim, Jordre asked his real estate agent if there were any art studios on the market. The agent showed him a small vintage building on Grand Avenue. Jordre knew immediately that this former grocery store-turned-art gallery was the right space, and Jordre Studio was born. Since then, Jordre has progressed from creating art with condiment bottles to other kitchen implements such as wooden spoons, spatulas and serving forks. One tool he has never used, however, is a paint brush. Jordre uses his unconventional implements as a way to get a lot of paint on a canvas quickly, as he says doesn’t have a lot of patience and wants to see his work come to life in front of him. As a rule, Jordre doesn’t name his paintings, nor sign them to indicate orientation. He “wants people to look at the art and react for themselves.” Leaving paintings unnamed allows for people to be drawn in and find their own meaning. Jordre feels this encourages dialogue, and ultimately broadens the meaning of his work over time. Jordre has no formal training or connection to the art world. Far from limiting him, however, he credits it with his early success. “Not going to art school was a benefit to me,” he says. He feels that his lack of formal training has freed him to experiment and left him open to new ideas and methods that he may not otherwise have attempted. He jokes, “If I went to art school, I’d probably be painting with a brush!” [caption id="attachment_5355" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Photograph courtesy of Kyle Jordre"][/caption] One benefit of being new to the art scene was that Jordre had no had no clue about how difficult it is to sell art. “If I did,” Jordre comments, “I would never have started.” He estimates that it takes at least 1,000 people viewing a piece of art to find the right buyer.  That’s a lot of eyeballs. To attract them, Jordre participates in First Friday art walks, holds several shows each year and uses the Web and social media to market his work. Another unique aspect of Jordre’s art is its sustainability. He makes every effort to reuse and repurpose materials in his work. All the paint he uses comes from the "oops" section in local paint and hardware stores. He also reuses the paint cans, turning them into sculptures, furniture or room dividers. An upcoming show, opening November 14 at the Sunrise Mountain Library in Peoria, highlights his dedication to the environment by asking, “What color is green?” He is promoting it using cut-up pieces of some of his paintings. A self-declared introvert, Jordre has nonetheless channeled the educator in him to reach out and interact with his community. He says that as an artist, you need to take part in the a community to survive. To this end, Jordre views his gallery space as a community resource for others. Not only does he open his gallery on First Fridays, but he also allows other artists to use it for openings and receptions. [caption id="attachment_5356" align="alignleft" width="160" caption="Phoenix Birthing Project. Photograph courtesy of Kyle Jordre."][/caption] Jordre also uses his studio space to hold small workshops and retreats for friends, other artists and other small groups. During these sessions, Jordre talks about his work, how he creates it and his "no rule" approach. He then turns the participants loose with stir sticks, grilling forks, squeegees, spatulas and power drills on large group-sized and smaller personal canvases. Jordre enjoys these sessions, as they combine his education and facilitation background with his passion for painting. He has had great feedback from participants as well. Even the most reticent people end up enjoying these events, channeling their inner artists. In addition, Jordre has donated several pieces of his art to local fundraising efforts. Some highlights include a 2007 Free Arts of Arizona ‘Chair’-ty Fundraiser, the “Diner in the Stacks” 2007 fundraiser for the Phoenix Public Library Association at the at Burton Barr Library, a "belly cast" to benefit the Phoenix Birthing Project and a Twestival fundraiser earlier this fall benefiting St. Mary’s Foodbank. This fall, Jordre will participate in two charitable projects: The Mannequin is our Muse Design Competition at the newly opened Barney's in Scottsdale benefiting the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and the All Decks on Hand auction at After Hours Creative benefiting the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center. Jordre's dedication to his community has begun to pay off. Recently, the city of Peoria purchased one of his paintings (and a pair of boots he wore while creating it). The painting (#117) now hangs immediate inside the newly opened Sunrise Public Library, and is the centerpiece of the building. A short video of the painting's creation is available for viewing here. Next year, some of his work will appear in the Glendale Public Library. [caption id="attachment_5358" align="aligncenter" width="664" caption="Painting #117 (and boots!). Photograph courtesy of Kyle Jordre"][/caption]

Jordre is glad that he is part of Grand Avenue. He enjoys the energy and vitality that is building along the street. He also enjoys the fact that people are able to do their own thing, whether it be painting, other forms of arts or the many crafts-related galleries and stores that are popping up. As for the future of the street, he would love to see it live up to its full potential and is looking forward to its continued evolution. He admits that such an evolution is dismaying to some — noting that emotions and business don’t always mix. Nevertheless, Jordre asserts that like art itself, a successful arts district can’t be static; it needs to adapt to changing times and demographics. The challenge is finding appropriate ways of doing so, namely through encouraging small businesses, artists and entrepreneurs who can connect with a community in a way that larger business cannot.

Originally released to the film festival circuit in 2007, now picked up by Paramount, Paranormal Activity purports to be the footage taken by a San Diego couple from their camcorder as they experience a series of supernatural events. Through the lens of the couple's camera, we see doors slam, a Ouija board become possessed and some creepy footprints magically appear in their bedroom. A well-meaning psychic tries to help the couple out, but is unable, then unwilling, to do so, leaving them to fend for themselves when the final attack of the demon is captured on tape. The extremely predictable ending is insulting to anyone with more complex emotions than a 13-year-old. There is no clever editing or creative storytelling; instead, we just see the events as the director wants us to see them, painfully aware that the characters are dragging the camera around their house, even when it is highly implausible that they would be doing so. Paranormal Activity also misses the mark on its sense of timing and suspense. It is so painfully obvious when the audience is supposed to feel impending doom or fear, and the "scary" events are trumpeted with a chorus fitting the entry of a monarch. The movie is "boo" scary, like an uncle surprising you by jumping out from behind a door, but it isn't metaphysically, emotionally or psychically crazy. No one leaves the theater thinking that the events in the movie could happen to them; one just leaves with the same feeling of adrenaline depletion one gets after a short roller coaster ride.

Nine|05

I haven't visited the new restaurant that occupies the former Fate, so I was excited to get the chance to do so during a Downtown Friday Night event. The remodeled, revamped Nine|05 is a stark contrast to the old restaurant that occupied the space. While I can appreciate the aesthetics of a building that is more house than restaurant, it is refreshing to see that Nine|05 now looks like it is complete, instead of the "sort of, not quite" look that characterized Fate. The soba noodles were delicious — I am a big cashew fan, so I was excited to try the combination of cabbage, radish and cashews with classic soba. The seasoning was strong, but well tempered. The fried heirloom tomatoes were also delicious, with a savory aioli and basil that made them almost feel like the start of a sort of deconstructed Asian caprese. The wine selection is decent — we had a bottle of the Brazin Old Vine Zin, a Lodi wine with a heavy dose of cherry. The service was good, and the front patio is great for a casual hangout with friends. Nine|05 ranks right up there with Gallo Blanco as a great place to eat and drink, and wait for people to show up. The pricing is on the high side, though. Seared scallops or Hoisin Short Rib will put you back $26, but if you are looking to splurge just a bit and stay Downtown, try out Nine|05.]]> 5370 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/27/dpj-yelper-week-sarah-baiz-market/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:03:53 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5392 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 10.12.09 I go here a few times a week to buy produce. I love white peaches and they always have them (and not for $2.99/lb. like Safeway). I know it seems silly to go to a Middle Eastern market for white peaches, but I'm comfortable with my silliness. Also, I buy whole wheat pita bread. Produce and whole wheat pita bread makes me the young and healthy female cliche, but it's a better price here for these things than it is at other grocers. AND they have Al-Hana! And very nice register workers, who now notice my very regular visits. Today one of the two register young women asked me if I bake with the peaches. I told her no (Actually I don't bake with anything... or cook really... I burn my oatmeal about every other day). She laughed when I told her the things I eat: (umm... peaches... vegetables... hummus... coffee... milk... apples... pita.. AND cider/wine/occasional whiskey). If I DID cook, I would buy more ingredients there. My brother, the cook in the family, purchases many fun ingredients at Baiz.

For all of my searching, I have developed quite a thirst. Fortunately for me, these fine people offer up a special drink with a twist. So, I hunker down to the classy-looking bar and submit my order of a Camparita. According to the menu, this drink consists of lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit juice with Patron Silver, Cointreau and Campari on the rocks. I’m not to keen on what those last two things are, but it sounds fruity and delicious. Now, before I proceed to tell you what it tasted like, I must defend my manhood, because this drink sounds girly and is presented extremely girly. Served up in a stemmed glass with a lime wedge and radiating a pink color, it looks like a beverage that would be preferred by Barbie or any number of valley girls. But, in my defense, there is a good amount of tequila in it, and I only felt unmanly when I was drinking it. The rush of flavors onto my taste buds was truly a delight. The blend of citrus is heavenly and seems to project my imagination toward an island getaway. So, if you are in the mood for a slightly feminine drink that will still rock your face off, PastaBAR might be serving up your beverage of choice. PastaBAR is located at 705 N. 1st St. (light rail station at Central/Roosevelt) 602.687.8704]]> 5409 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/28/mayor-gordons-blog-taste-downtown/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5333 Great news! We are gearing up for our annual Taste of Downtown event in Downtown Phoenix. Each year we invite the community to celebrate Downtown Phoenix and its great restaurants and businesses. This year’s celebration, called "Dining in the Streets," will be held on Tuesday, November 17 at the Civic Space Park between Central and 1st avenues on Polk Street. For this event to be as successful as years past, we want to offer the opportunity to participate to Downtown area restaurants and businesses with samplings of their food or interactive displays — no paper passing please, as we want to be as "green" as possible! We are expecting 2,000 attendees for this free event. It is a great opportunity to highlight your restaurant or business and to promote all that Downtown Phoenix has to offer. If you would like more information, or know that you want to participate in the event again this year, please contact Leila Gamiz in my office at Leila.Gamiz@phoenix.gov or at 602.261.8983. Space is limited, but we are hoping to offer more variety than ever before for this sixth annual Taste of Downtown, so please join us! There is no cost to you to have a booth for your samples or interactive display.]]> 5333 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/29/certified-local-fall-festival-celebrates-arizona/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:33:03 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5423 Can you name 60 or so local businesses that you love? Some can, some flat out can't and some think they can, but then rattle off 20 or so and get stuck. That's why it's important to attend events like Local First Arizona's Certified Local Fall Festival. Now in its fifth year, Fall Festival, which takes place Saturday, November 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is packing nearly 5,000 people, 60 local businesses, tons of great food and drink and some of the Valley's best in local music (all for free!) together in the Duck and Decanter parking lot on the southeast corner of 16th Street and Camelback Road. Most importantly, this event helps benefit Local First and helps attendees discover exciting local businesses. A raffle and silent auction to benefit Local First will take place, and as an added bonus, the first 500 attendees receive gift bags! There are far too many participating businesses to list, but plenty of favorites will be there — Uptown's Postino and Frances, Coronado's That's a Wrap, Melrose's Noble Beast and Copper Star Coffee and Midtown's Fez, plus many more. Local eateries will provide grub all day long, while local breweries, vineyards, Pop the Soda Shop and Souvia Tea will provide the liquid fuel. There's also a full slate of great local live musicians. Here's the schedule:

• 10:15-10:45 a.m. — Vanessa Atalanta (Phoenix)
• 11-11:45 a.m. — Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl (Bisbee)
• Noon-12:45 p.m. — Flyaway Tigers (Phoenix)
• 1-1:45 p.m. — Fatigo (Phoenix)
• 2-2:45 p.m. — Turn Back, O Man (Phoenix)
• 3-4 p.m. — Loose Cannons Blues Band (Phoenix)

Still not enough? There will be a dance performance by Zahr Jamil Middle Eastern Dance Company, an appearance from Diamondbacks mascot Baxter, unique shopping, arts and crafts and a bouncing castle (for the kids) and a climbing wall (for the bigger kids) to let out some steam.]]> 5423 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/28/like-green-welcome-link/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:51:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5428 USGBC Greenbuild conference is coming to Downtown Phoenix. Local green building pioneers [merz]project built the Link building (adjacent to Cancer Survivors Park near the Burton Barr Library) as the company's headquarters, but it's quickly become one of Downtown's iconic urban renewal structures since opening its doors in the summer of 2008. Itself at 1950s office structure revamp, the Link is a true landmark in conservation, producing very little construction waste in its rebuild process. Now architects, builders and designers from around the world will get to check it out. The Link is the official site for the "Environmental Ideas in Green Building" showcase, taking place during the Greenbuild conference November 10-14. The exhibit is open to all and features work and materials from green building projects around the U.S. The goal is to bring these conservation concepts and products to the public in a unique way. Local companies JAG Development, Solar City, UEB Builders, LG Surfaces and GeOasis are among those that will be featured. Attendees will also get to see Matt Pool's soon-to-be-open coffeehouse, Giant Coffee, on the lower level of the structure. The After Hours Gallery, located just blocks away and also designed by [merz]project, will also be open for tours throughout the week. The Link is located at 1437 N. 1st St. After Hours Gallery is located at 116 W. McDowell Rd. (Light rail station at Central/McDowell for both.) Exhibit hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. [gallery columns="4"] ]]> 5428 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/29/suns-spot-steve-nash-old/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:13:38 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5516 and was matched up against a much bigger Clippers team and was playing without injured center Robin Lopez. Perhaps the biggest surprise: The Suns are now sporting a bench that can play! The second unit for Phoenix showed great hustle and energy on the glass while playing tough D. They also managed to score 21 points, which was quite the feat with Leandro Barbosa inserted into the starting lineup to fill in for the suspended Jason Richardson. The Suns must run more. They only had two fastbreak points, and that just won’t cut it. I’m sure this is something that will be remedied in the games to come, and it probably had something to do with the Clippers shooting a ridiculous 55% from the field. On to the home opener. Tomorrow (Friday, 10/30) the Suns have their home opener for the 2009-10 season as they host the Golden State Warriors. It should be a very entertaining, high-scoring game, so I hope to see a packed US Airways Center. For those of you attending the game, remember that METRO offers free light rail rides to anyone with a Suns ticket, which is how I’ll be traveling. If you’re looking for a place to eat before tip-off, you can stop by Majerle’s, where I’ll be eating my pregame meal. If you’re not in the mood for a hamburger and French fries, there are plenty of other options open to you nearby, such as Matador, which serves Mexican food, or Cibo, a great pizzeria. After the game, be sure to head on over to The Turf to participate in Night Rail (and hopefully celebrate a Suns victory!). Night Rail is sure to get you in touch with a lot of cool people that know exactly what’s going on and where to go for a good time while in Downtown Phoenix. Other places to consider are Bar Smith, which is always hopping after a game lets out, or Hanny’s, if you’re looking to get drinks in a more intimate setting that still provides music courtesy of an in-house DJ. Sidenote: Earlier this week the Suns announced a partnership with St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. As part of the three-year agreement, preseason and postseason physicals for the Suns and Mercury players will be performed by St. Joseph’s physicians. St. Joseph’s will also provide an array of medical and wellness services, including a referral process for primary care and specialty physicians.]]> 5516 0 0 0 1334 http://christophercoffel.blogspot.com 1332 169 1332 http://raillife.com/blog 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/30/insecure-critic-zombieland-warning-hannys-drinks-required/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:34:54 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5543 Zombieland If you see only one movie while drunk this year, may I recommend Zombieland, the almost unbearably bad horror-comedy starring Woody Harrelson. The only saving grace that allowed me to make it all the way to the end was the fact that I was pretty lit on sake and Hanny's martinis. The movie is a modified road trip/buddy pic/zombie flick that somehow manages to integrate the worst of each of those genres into one bizarre mess. As a road trip movie, Zombieland lacks any sense of place or location — Austin feels just like Beverly Hills. As a buddy pic, the film lacks any complex development of a closer (or even more distant) relationship between the lead characters over the course of the story. As a zombie flick, it has a lame zombie back story (modified mad cow) and some really blah-looking zombies. The basic plot line is that the few remaining non-zombies on earth are each trying to get somewhere — one person (Jesse Eisenberg) to his family in Columbus, and another (Harrelson) trying to locate the world's remaining Twinkies. Yes, Twinkies. On the way, they encounter a pair of hot chick non-zombies (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin). Along their somewhat irrelevant and misguided path, they are chased by zombies, whom they elude and/or kill by a variety of boring methods, eventually arriving at a West Coast theme park where they have a final battle with the predators (in this film, the zombies aren't undead, per se). The one highlight of the film was the extended cameo by Bill Murray. When the cast of characters showed up at his house, Murray initially frightens them in a fully zombified rage — which he then reveals to be a ruse he uses to protect himself from real zombies. They romp around his house, which is basically a Ghostbusters museum. As the alcohol wore off, I became painfully aware that the film I just spent an hour-and-a-half watching had less of a story than an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Hanny's

My saving grace in being able to survive Zombieland was that my friends and I had just come from Hanny's, where I was able to drink just enough to tolerate the cinematic train wreck. Hanny's is exactly what a Downtown bar should be: cool and relaxed, yet sophisticated. It is definitely the place to go if you want to enjoy a classy drink in a supper club atmosphere. I have yet to move past the drink menu, so that is just about all I can criticize. The caipirinha was pretty well balanced, although I could have done without the rock candy swizzle stick (I know that a sugar cane garnish may be tough to come by in Phoenix, so we don't mind if you leave it out). They use Cachaça 51 which isn't my favorite, but it is passable. The sidecar was strong. Not in a good way. I enjoy sidecars because they incorporate a lot of different sweet flavors, but this just made me feel like a lush drinking a citrus-flavored martini. Speaking of martinis, the gin martini was decent, although tiny (but a good buy for $5). The staff is friendly and flirty — in fact, my friend slipped the waiter my phone number after we noticed him admiring my shoes. Yep, it was that kind of night.]]> 5543 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/10/30/volunteers-needed-neighborhood-clean-up-prepare-greenbuild-2009/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:57:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5548 from the city of Phoenix:The city of Phoenix Neighborhood Services and Public Works Departments and the GreenBuild 2009 Host Committee are recruiting volunteers for a community clean-up event 8 a.m. to noon Sat., Oct. 31.

With the Phoenix Public Market's Urban Grocery and Wine Bar now a fully stocked five-day-a-week store, finding local produce and meat is easier than finding excuses not to contribute to a stronger Phoenix and more sustainable earth. If going local is high on your list of things to do in 2010, check out the Local First Arizona Fall Festival on Saturday, November 7. Second on the list, and one that I could use some help with, is writing. Last week, I went to go see the movie New York, I Love You. It was a collection of short films with love stories and New York at the center of each plot — sort of an homage to Paris, Je T'aime. And, it got me thinking of movies, TV shows, novels and stage plays that treat their locale as a character itself. There's CSI: New York and CSI: Miami. NCIS puts Los Angeles on display while NBC's Trauma highlights San Francisco in a way that hasn't been done since Mary-Kate and Ashley were in diapers. In a similar fashion, Jonathon Larson's Rent brought New York's East Village to life the same way Carrie Bradshaw talks about being in a relationship with Manhattan when she's without a man (but, I don't watch Sex in the City... promise). And, don't get me started on literature. Any good novel relies heavily on its location for fodder (and, for that matter, bad ones do, too — see: any Dan Brown book). Point is, a good place makes for a good story; and intuitively, I'm trusting that the reverse is true. Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg not only wrote drug-induced sentence fragments about self-realization, but each also wrote about the city he lived in — the city he loved. We have an outstanding portfolio of visual and performing artists in the Phoenix area, but I think it's time for a writing renaissance in the Valley. Or maybe it's already happening. One thing for sure: I can promise no genius from my end, but my hope is that if we convince enough people to write about the city they live in (the city they love?), we can add one more piece to this evolving puzzle that is bringing Phoenix to the 21st century. What do you say? You in?]]> 5556 0 0 0 1350 http://www.phoenixdowntownjournal.com 0 2 1345 http://www.yuriartibise.com 1344 137 1344 0 0 1343 http://www.yuriartibise.com 0 137 1341 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 1342 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/06/boutique-central-camelback/ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:25:50 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5590 Red Hot Robot, Frances and Smeeks sit neatly in a row surrounding Stinkweeds. Each store radiates friendly intimacy. Red Hot Robot is what owner Jason Kiningham describes as, “The definitive designer toy store in town that carries collectibles and gifts, including designer toys, art, books clothes and gifts.” [caption id="attachment_5654" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Red Hot Robot: Ugly or adorable?"][/caption] Don’t know what the designer toy movement is? Drop by and Kiningham will explain it with the passionate finesse of a true collector. Before even beginning our interview, Kiningham explicitly explains each of the various lines of toys. “Designer toys in general [are] a combination of a bunch of different movements like pop cultural, comic books, anime and lowbrow art and music, film and TV, and brings it together. It is very unique and dynamic and has caught the eye of a lot of different people,” Kiningham says. Featured at stores like Urban Outfitters, designer toys include the popular lines of Dunnys, uniform bunny molds that various artist paint and design unique to their style, and Uglydolls, a line of plush dolls that are so ugly they’re adorable. “One of Obama’s girls went to school with an Uglydoll in her backpack at the beginning of the year,” says Kiningham. “Those things are making the movement more widely known.” Items in the store range from $8 blind boxes, where you never know what you’ll get, through collector’s items priced around $100. Kiningham describes his target market as “consumers.” “The No. 1 consumer is the passionate toy and art collector, and No. 2 is the gift buyer or the casual buyer. I have a lot of items for non-collectors. I cater to whatever consumers are interested in.” He admits the change in the economy has eliminated a lot of his regulars. Now, Kiningham is careful to only buy what he knows he can sell. Red Hot Robot’s name fits. After making a list of words he liked, including robot, Kiningham “literally woke up in the middle of the night and Red Hot Robot just stuck.” "Robot," according to Kiningham, already carried the cache of designer toys. Kid Robot is the most predominant designer toy maker, and only two other things sport the same name: an East Coast DJ and a 1950s comic series. “It is a perfect fit,” says Kiningham. [caption id="attachment_5656" align="alignright" width="225" caption="Frances: Something for every woman"][/caption] The stores at Central and Camelback all seem to be a perfect fit, like a tiny jigsaw juxtaposed with a Boston Market, lawyers’ offices and the light rail stop across the street. Each has an exposed wood-beam ceiling and is warm and welcoming. Frances, one storefront over from Red Hot Robot, is an eclectic boutique owned by Georganne Bryant. Bryant seems to be an every-person's woman. She greets her customers like old friends and she carries friendly conversation with a pair of teenage girls excited with their purchase. The store, which opened in May 2006, has a folk feel to it. Mismatched, antique, wooden armoires display jewelry and clothes. Feathers, tree branches and antlers create a unique decorative appeal. A chalkboard behind the registers adds a crafty touch. Gifts, clothes and vintage items are in every nook of the space. Bryant finds her vintage pieces at estate sales and markets. Frances carries about 40% local pieces. The interior designing is done by Bryant, herself. “Everything about it is in my head,” she says.

The shop is a direct reflection of Bryant’s personality and style. She doesn’t sell anything she doesn’t personally like. A stay-at-home mom raised in Tucson, Bryant was encouraged by her daughter to open the boutique. “She felt like I had a sense of style,” she remarks.

As for the name, Frances, “It was my grandmother’s name. When I was trying to figure out what to name it, I wanted something that was meaningful, so that stuck with me,” Bryant says. The store appeals to every woman. “I have high school girls who love it, and women my age like it. Even 70-year-old women. It’s all ages,” says Bryant. The same goes for Bryant’s other store, Smeeks, which opened in July. Located on the other side of Red Hot Robot, Smeeks is an old-fashioned, good-times candy store. “A lot of the neighborhood kids will walk with their parents to the store,” Bryant says. Painted light blue and red, the shop smells strongly of sweet peppermint. A cute candy house sits on a ledge next to the shop’s name in lights. The store houses a photo booth, and its photos decorate a wall. [caption id="attachment_5657" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Smeeks: The photo booth is a hit, to say the least"][/caption] Smeeks features classic candies, sodas and childhood novelties. Smeeks recently started carrying its own line of candies, featuring pieces like chocolate-covered cinnamon bears and gummy army men. Bryant describes it as the “finishing touch.” Smeeks is Bryant’s nickname. “My father still calls me Smeeks. I’m not sure where he came up with the name,” says Bryant. Bryant loves the community feel of Phoenix. She feels as though the business owners are the ambassadors for the city. “I feel like the business owners will really help you out. People will recommend my store and I’ll recommend theirs.”

Tempe, AZ Five-star rating 05.31.09 I was a little confused at what this place actually was at first when I walked in. I went there to see my friend's friends band play last night. I got that part. But was it part art gallery, part coffee shop, part music venue, part let's confuse me a little more? It was a little strange to see a band perform there and no alcohol was served. Thank G-d for the Bikini Lounge next door. Whatever this place was, it was pretty cool! The people that seemed to frequent the place seemed very nice and the chick that was working was super cool. I actually could say that the acoustics in that place rocked... both bands that played sounded crystal clear and didn't blow my eardrums out. Only real minus was the parking.

It all starts off just like a scary movie. I stroll up to the building with the blacked-out windows and the door is wide open. It is just like a portal into a land of isolation, not telling of what lies behind it’s own darkness. To say the clientele was sparse this evening would be an understatement (granted, it was a Monday night). Aside from the cheery bartender (more on her in a second), there sat only one patron watching the World Series. So, I plop myself down at the bar, which stinks of things my imagination is horrified to picture. Peering out from behind her lonely game of eight ball, the bartender growls her pleasantries. “What do you want?” Immediately, I feel like one of the boys from The Goonies. That is the reason this scenario seems so familiar. The ever-cheerful barkeep exudes the Fratelli mother in every way. After realizing that I am still standing there, mouth agape, I collect myself and order the first thing that comes to mind: a pitcher of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Sure, you may scoff at the notion, but in this blogger’s humble opinion, Pabst is the best beer for your buck. So, I start to acclimate myself to the surroundings. I realized that I am surrounded by creative minds, or at the very least, deranged sociopaths. The walls seem to leak black. There are hints of an attempt at a Hawaiian theme — sticks in pattern above the bar, tiki masks, a topless luau dancer painting, etc. Also parading in this locale are curious elements — handwritten “Cash Only” signs, a mid-'90s arcade bowling game, a scarecrow, a strangely new Internet jukebox and the smallest above-bar screens I have ever encountered. Needless to say, this was an experience. I laid my cash on the dingy bar and crept back out. I can only imagine that at one time this might have been a nicer, cleaner bar. Well, maybe that is taking things a little too far. The Bikini Lounge is located at 1502 W. Grand Ave. (602) 252.0472. It offers pitchers of PBR nightly.

Rebounding. Coming into the season, the biggest concern most Suns fans had was what the Suns were going to do on the boards. They were smashed on the boards in the preseason. It’s like they weren’t even trying out there. In the last four practices before the season started, coach Alvin Gentry really drilled into the guys about their lack of effort on the boards and it seems to have paid off, at least so far. Through the first five games of the season, Phoenix has out rebounded their opponents three times. Before the season started, I didn’t know if the Suns would out rebound the opposition three times throughout the entire season — they were that bad. In the two games the Suns have lost the battle on the boards, they’ve only lost by a combined seven rebounds. Seven rebounds?! Are you kidding me?! If the Suns can be within seven rebounds every game, I’d be ecstatic, let alone seven rebounds over two games. I believe if the Suns can keep it that close on the boards on a nightly basis, they’ll win far more than they’ll lose.

The bench. The Suns have a reliable bench now. I don’t even remember the last time we had one of those. In years past, it’s been five starters and Leandro Barbosa for the most part. This year though, it’s different. We still have LB, who was playing solidly until an untimely wrist injury, but in addition to the Blur, we have Jared Dudley and Lou Amundson, who are all hustle. These two are a huge part of why our rebounding has been impressive thus far. Amundson and Dudley bring it every night. They do the little things that don’t show up in the box score, but every team needs. They play excellent defense and keep their players off the glass. But, the bench doesn’t end there, as Goran Dragic as been a huge surprise (although I’ve been supporting him since day one!). Dragic looks much more comfortable on the floor this year. He’s been playing under control and has confidence in his jumper. He’s putting up seven points with three assists against one turnover, while shooting over 50% from the floor and continuing to play impressive D. If Dragic can play like this all year, Steve Nash will have plenty of rest for the stretch run (and, hopefully, the playoffs).

Channing Frye. This was a tough choice. I couldn’t decide between Nash, Grant Hill and Frye as the third most impressive player to jump out at me in this early season, but I decided to go with Frye since he’s been the biggest plus (Nash and Hill have been outstanding, but we’ve come to expect that from them, year in and year out). Frye, the former St. Mary's High star, is having quite the homecoming. His offensive skill set and Gentry’s system have been the perfect fit for one another. His shooting touch has been simply unbelievable, as he made more three pointers in his first three games this season (13), than he’d ever made in an entire season before, and he’s on pace to knock down 246 super shots for the year. He’s also been much more than just a jump shooter this year, showing he can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket — something new to his game. Plus, there’s the spacing he provides for Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire to do their thing. I know it’s early to make awards predictions, but I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t win the Most Improved Player award this year.

So, there you have it — the three things that have really stood out to me through the first week of the NBA season. If the Suns can continue to shine in those areas and show more improvements on defense, we’re in for a very exciting year. Now to just get through this pesky road trip...]]> 5632 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/05/first-friday-jesse-peper-perihelion-arts/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:25:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5637 Take a look at Tucson-born painter Jesse Peper's work, and it's a bit puzzling as to where to focus. You feel like you're staring at a Tarot card, albeit a much larger, slightly more expensive one. Peper, who has since ditched the desert to set up his studio in Denver, returns to Perihelion Arts this First Friday to display a set of 20 of his newest works. The theme? Take your pick: Peper lists surrealism, literature, anthropomorphic and totemic cultural creations and the "balance of the beautiful and the grotesque" among his many influences. And, yes, Tarot is in there, too. It's something you'd both smile and shudder at. It's like a scary acid trip. Where religion meets spirituality meets the devil meets animal sacrifice, you can place Peper's work. The idea, buried somewhere in that description, is to blend the beautiful with the hideous. We think he succeeds with flying colors (just check out the picture if you have your doubts). Peper, who works in series of paintings (he also sketches in ink as well), has had successful shows in Florida, New York and his home turf of Colorado since his last visit to the Valley.

Many people are taking advantage of the rail system to get to and from Downtown Phoenix on First Fridays, without worrying about traffic or parking. In addition, several of Phoenix's premier arts and culture venues and some of our best public art installations are along the route. This includes the 28 installations that are part of the light rail system itself. This Saturday, November 14, Arizona Citizens for the Arts is highlighting these venues and installations by challenging teams of two or more people to “ride the rails” in search of Phoenix art treasures along the light rail line. The PHX ART Treasures coincides with Phoenix’s Green Week celebrations. It will take place on November 14 from 1-6 p.m. “This unique event is intended to showcases the amazing array of arts and cultural opportunities in and around Phoenix METRO light rail,” says Brenda Sperduti, Executive Director of Arizona Citizens for the Arts, which will benefit from the proceeds of the event. Arizona Citizens for the Arts is the nonprofit charitable arm of Arizona Action for the Arts. Its goal is to increases discussion and awareness of the importance and impact of the arts in achieving quality of life, educational excellence and economic health for all Arizonans and Arizona enterprises. It also presents the Governor's Arts Awards annually with the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Office of the Governor. Registration for the event will start at 1 p.m. at the Wells Fargo History Museum, 100 W. Washington in Downtown Phoenix (map). The “hunt” itself gets underway at 1:45. Participating teams will head out on a treasure/scavenger hunt to earn points toward cash prizes by deciphering trivia questions, finding clues and demonstrating artistic and creative talents along the light rail route. Teams begin returning to the starting location at 4:30 p.m. Scores will be tallied at 5 p.m., and announced at 6 p.m. The top three teams will win cash prizes of $300 for first place, $200 for second and $100 for third. Registration is $30 per person (children in grades K-8 are FREE) and $20 for students (student IDs required for 9th grade and up). Register two or more people online by November 10 and each will receive a $5 discount. In addition to the chance to win a cash prize, each registrant will receive:

• a METRO all-day ride pass ($3.50 value)
• free all-day parking in the Wells Fargo garage ($12 value)
• event t-shirt ($10 value)
• food, beverages and musical entertainment by local reggae/punk/surf band RAC from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Wells Fargo History Museum
• a swag bag with great stuff from sponsors and art venues

This is a great event for families, school groups, corporate team building, service groups and friends. It will help you discover the core of your city and explore the many arts and culture treasures it has to offer. For more information or to register, visit phxarttreasures.org or call (602) 253-6535.

To underscore the issue, the piece focused on the retirement of longtime Phoenix City Manager Frank Fairbanks. And, being a model 21st century communicator, I posted the editorial's link to my Facebook and Twitter pages. The link was reliked, commented on, retweeted, and dugg. But, one particular tweet caught my eye: @tdhurst has a reputation for being a little contrary from time to time, but (maybe) he had a point this time — Phoenix grew, but was it in a good or sustainable way? I've been thinking about that question all weekend, and this is what I've come up with: Making Phoenix grow wasn't Mr. Fairbanks' job. Most cities west of the Mississippi have a council/manager form of city government, where the council is made up of elected officials and the manager is appointed by council. Under this system, when a policy is put forth by a majority vote of council, it becomes the job of the manager to budget for, plan for, and execute said policy. And, because the manager reports the council (not the voters), he or she is responsible for carrying out those policies regardless of whether or not the manager believes it is a good use of time or effort. Needless to say, there are times where this can be frustrating for city managers (which means it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that there is an informal monthly meeting of city managers from across the Valley of the Sun called the 4-3 Club). So, what's the recipe for a successful manager? Do you remember that Supreme Court case in 1964 when Justice Potter Stewart uttered the now-famous "I know it when I see it" phrase referring to pornography? Well, there is a unspoken rule among managers that the opposite is true of their profession. Said differently, one knows a good city manager when they don't see them. Fairbanks had four decades of experience with the city of Phoenix, yet I can guarantee that eight out of 10 people have no idea who he is. He ran an organization with nearly 15,000 employees, but stayed out of headlines. The average lifespan for a job as city manager is five years; Fairbanks held the job for 20. Point is, the less you hear about your city manager, the better. Take, for instance, Scottsdale. There has been quite a hullabaloo over in America's Most Livable City. Manager John Little was fired last week, and now he's hiring an attorney to fight the body that cut him loose. The circumstances would take a little more space than I'm allowed to explain, so I'll whittle it down: They don't get along. And, don't forget that Fairbanks' replacement comes with a little baggage of his own — something that caused Council Mike Johnson enough hesitation to vote against David Cavazos' appointment. So, I guess my answer to Tyler comes in two parts:

1. Yes, Frank Fairbanks was extremely talented. This summer, Phoenix was named an All-American City, which only added to the portfolio of awards for outstanding management under Fairbanks' leadership.
2. Phoenix grew, but yes, maybe not in the best way. But, it is important to know that it wasn't Fairbanks' job to make the decision on the direction of the city, but rather to carry out the decisions made by council. If you or any resident of Phoenix are interested in the sustainable development of Phoenix for the future, get involved in city of Phoenix politics. A great way to start is to call your City Councilman and set up a meeting. Remember, you are their employer.

The sad reality is that local politics are still on the bottom rung of the "paid-attention-to-politically" ladder, but shouldn't be. Healthcare reform has been grabbing all the headlines lately, but won't enter into actuality for at least two years even if it passes. In contrast, Phoenix City Council will be voting before the end of the year on measures to encourage adaptive reuse that will have an immediate affect on us Downtown devotees by luring cool businesses, bars and other hot spots into the core of our city. So, let's allow our city manager to manage, and hold our elected leadership accountable for the future of Phoenix.]]> 5681 0 0 0 1372 We are developing a scholarship to encourage students to explore careers in service, since we are losing nearly three out of every five people working in the government and nonprofit ranks over the next decade.

Queen Creeek, AZ Four-star rating 10.10.09 I attended the Old World Oktoberfest held at the Moreland end of the park. Parking was not too difficult — lots across the street for $5 or parking on the street for free. The park provided a good location for the festival and allowed each vendor plenty of room, as well as an area for a dance floor and the main stage. The pros of the festival: the AZ Accordian band, Guggenbach Band & Lorelei & Schatzi. I also stayed for the Beer Stein Competition. There were several vendors there including Grandma Goes Nuts (which offered good cinnamon covered peacans, almonds and cashews), the San Francisco Chocolate Factory (carmel, chocolate and candy covered apples), a funnel cake place, a curly fry place, Der kaffee Kuchen (brats & kraut!) and of course a few tables of Warsteiner. I had three boots of the Oktoberfest blend. The atmosphere was great, the entertainment was awesome and I enjoyed the beer, brats and funnel cake. A few things I wish would have been better: more of a crowd. Granted the festival started at 10 AM...I stayed from about 11-2, but there were not many people...also, how cool would it have been if a vendor were selling German items such as lederhosen? This was the 4th annual and I think they are on the right track. Maybe a few more vendors and some community support would make it a 5 star event... Margaret T. Hance Park is located at 1134 N.

Their secret to success has included a mixture of high-quality ingredients, unique gift packaging and passion for their customers and community. But, perhaps the most important ingredient that they sell is happiness. “Cookies and cupcakes make people feel good,” says Shaun. [caption id="attachment_5797" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Shaun and Brady Breese. Photograph courtesy of Urban Cookies."][/caption] Shaun and Brady are pretty much Arizona natives; Shaun has been here since she was 3 and Brady since he was 6. They met in grade school, followed each other to high school and then to ASU. After graduating, they worked in various Central Phoenix neighborhoods, Brady working as a life insurance agent and Shaun working in marketing, including a stint at the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. In 2005, Shaun and Brady had an idea to start a business. By November, they had secured a deal with the Florence Crittenton Center to use their kitchen facilities in the evening. In exchange for using the Crittenton baking facilities in the evening, the Breeses agreed to train at-risk girls in the kitchen as well as in marketing and customer service. For the first year, they kept their day jobs, working at night. During that time, they only sold their goods online. On weekends, they went out to the community and began giving samples at the historic home tours in Central Phoenix neighborhoods such as Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft. They also began selling their cookies at the Saturday Downtown Phoenix Public Market. The Breeses found that these samples and local sales encouraged their business to spread virally through word of mouth — still their best way to get new business. In 2006, they opened their first retail store next to Melrose Pharmacy in the Wagon Wheel building just down 7th Avenue from the where they baked their cookies at Florence Crittenton. In 2007, they found they needed a bigger space and wanted their own kitchen, so they moved to their current location on 7th Street near Highland Avenue. Consistent with Shaun and Brady’s vision, their storefront is not only hip, but also green, featuring bamboo flooring and low-emission paint. As well, the '50s-era building is a classic example of adaptive reuse. Previous tenants included a café and pizzeria. Shaun and Brady have always enjoyed living in Central Phoenix, so it was natural to open a business here. There is also financial motivation for being in Central Phoenix. The Urban Cookies "brand" speaks to those living in and around Central Phoenix (their most-trafficked ZIP code for their online business is 85020, in North Central Phoenix). Another draw of Central Phoenix was that retail leases were more affordable near Downtown than in the strip malls further out. While they do not have the benefit of the foot traffic that the strip malls offer, they are able to make up for this through their online sales (another example of the benefits of a diversified business model). [caption id="attachment_5701" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photograph courtesy of Urban Cookies"][/caption] Despite the poor economy, the couple has managed to keep their business growing. A decline in higher-end gift box sales has been offset by increased retail sales. “Even in this economy, $1.99 is an affordable break from the ordinary for people,” notes Shaun. This points to the importance of diversity for small businesses, especially in this economy. What started out as a completely online endeavor has morphed into a business model that is now about 50% online and 50% retail through growth and various efforts to weather these tough economic times. Urban Cookies is always looking for new business ideas and partnerships. It recently began selling cupcakes, affectionately coined “OllieCakes” after Shaun and Brady’s 8-month-old son, Oliver. They have also added two layer cakes to their retail selection. During the summer, they offer ice cream cakes to their retail patrons, and have also begun selling organic dog treats. In addition, they are entering the wholesale market, providing cookies to the recently opened Urban Wine Bar and Grocery at the Downtown Phoenix Market. They are also approaching other restaurants and grocery stores around town and offering catering for parties and business meetings. Currently, Urban Cookies offers four different types of cookies, as well as four types of cupcakes. As well, each month, they feature unique seasonal items. For November they are offering a pumpkin pecan cookie and a cranberry orange cupcake. For Christmas, they are bringing back the popular coco-mint cookie. This holiday season, Urban Cookies is partnering with Danielle Librera and Brian Coonce at the Sweet Pea Bakery to offer pies and tarts to their customers. In addition, they sell a variety of custom gift boxes, small "signature" gifts and individually wrapped favor gifts. These gifts have become popular for business clients, birthday gifts or simple pick-me-ups for somebody who’s had a bad day. OllieCakes have quickly become popular for baby and toddler birthdays. [caption id="attachment_5698" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photograph courtesy of Urban Cookies"][/caption] Urban Cookies' notion of Central Phoenix community extends to local businesses as well. Proud members of Local First Arizona, they work together with other nearby independently owned businesses through cross promotions, joint events and business referrals. It is important to have a network, says Shaun, although she notes that this network is being challenged by the economy, and lists of several small businesses that have recently closed, including Lisa G and Palatte. Meanwhile, they are happy to see the growing conglomeration of new independent business near Central and Camelback, including Maizie’s Cafe & Bistro, Lola Coffee, Oliver and Annie and Smeeks, among others. Some examples of how local businesses are working together include publications such as the Small Wonders map, as events such as Local First Arizona's Certified Local Fall Festival at Duck and Decanter, a “Champagne and Shopping” event at nearby Roots Salon, as well as TwitterHunt. During First Friday on December 4, Urban Cookies will be participating in "Sweets Alley" as part of the second annual "Crafeteria" being hosted by Frances Boutique in their parking lot near Central and Camelback. In their limited free time, the Breeses enjoy spending time with their son at local treasures, such as the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, or feeding the ducks at Granada Park. Oliver also enjoys playing on the grass and people watching at the Biltmore Fashion Center. “After hanging out with us all week in the store, he’s excited to see other people and places," notes Shaun. When Shaun and Brady are looking for more grown-up fare they like heading to Bomberos Café and Wine Bar, which is within walking distance from their home, or Aiello's, a favorite for Italian food. You can meet Shaun, Brady and Oliver at the Urban Cookies retail store (602.451.4355), located at 4711 N. 7th St. It is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Online orders can be placed here. ]]> 5693 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/12/great-arizona-puppet-theater-presents-raw-turkey-puppet-slam/ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:12:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5708 The Great Arizona Puppet Theater did! It isn't very often that great puppeteers get together and do a puppet show for the 18+ crowd, so when it does happen, it is a must-see. This special occasion was in honor of Thanksgiving, labeled "The Raw Turkey Puppet Slam," and our host for the evening was Hector the sock puppet. Now, being forewarned of the obscenities that were to come, we knew we were in for some sort of treat. The first puppet show up for the evening was performed by Nataliya Khusid, who is from Russia and now resides in Detroit. The piece was entitled "L'Histoire d'Amour," a beautiful French love story portrayed with two small hand-face puppets and French music. It was simply gorgeous to watch, as her hands mimicked the bodies of these faces and showed us a story about a woman reluctant to fall in love and a man persistent enough to pursue her until she gave in. Next up, Dan Dan the Puppet Man presented Dolly Parton performing "Great Balls of Fire." That's right, a Dolly Parton string puppet performing the popular song from Jerry Lee Lewis. It's incredible to watch someone move every part of the puppet with strings as though it were a real person performing live. The performance was clever and quite entertaining! Nancy Smith, Director of Great Arizona Puppet Theater, put on the next show for us, "Owl & the Pussycat." Imagine a person dressed as a puppet box with hand-drawn puppets on a stick. Yes, that is the kind of show she put on for us. It was another love story, this one about an owl and a pussycat who travel the world in a boat, find a ring from a pig and get married by a turkey.  Are you intrigued by all this yet? We were clamoring for more! Khusid performed another short show for us just after intermission, and then it was on to Tommy Cannon of Cannon Bros. performing "Gila Monster." This puppet show did not star your average puppet — no sock, no strings and no masks. No, this puppet was made out of Khusid's hand and a pair of eyes. Wildly entertaining and silly, we laughed as Tommy performed behind the curtain yet interacted with the Gila monster that was his hand. The final performance of the evening was called "Little Bunny's Halloween" and was performed by Gwen Bonar of Rude Rabbit Productions. Acted out with a stuffed mama bunny and a stuffed baby boy bunny, this piece was the perfect nightcap! Baby boy bunny was afraid of Halloween, so mama bunny decided they should practice Santeria instead. You can only imagine the antics that followed. The group performs on a regular basis for children Wednesdays through Fridays at 10 a.m., Saturdays at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. The next adult puppet slam will be on January 1, 2010, and DPJ thinks it's a great idea to ring in the New Year with an off-the-wall puppet show! The best way to stay informed is to check out our calendar of events, or you can visit the theater's website at azpuppets.org or call 602.262.2050.

They are inviting the Downtown and ASU communities to an evening of “connection through food, art and community” at the Welcome Diner on Thursday, November 12. ¡Bienvenidos Here! is an initiative of ASU's art and community class taught by Gregory Sale. It is intended to encourage the bridging of the ASU community with Phoenix, specifically the Garfield neighborhood, home of the Welcome Diner. This FREE event will feature local DJs; free food, including roasted corn and hot dogs (vegetarian options available); art interventions; a showing of Gordon Matta Clark's 1972 classic documentary, Food (based on the SoHo restaurant he co-founded that was managed and staffed by artists); and a live video feed art installation. Dinner will be served from 5:30 p.m. on and the film will be shown at 9 p.m. The event is sponsored in part by the School of Art at ASU's Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. The Welcome Diner is located at 924 E. Roosevelt St. (602.495.1111) (map). For more information on the event, visit the ¡Bienvenidos Here! site and check out the documentary trailer.

All I can say is I haven’t seen this many people crowded around a little house since Pappy died. Dang. You can tell this is a popular place from the get-go. Maybe that is an understatement; I waited for nearly an hour early on a Friday morning. But, this early in the morning, I was only thinking about one thing: food. There was definitely a rumbly in my tumbly. So, without much hesitation, I settled on the Chop & Chick, a succulent pork-and-egg combo. As I waited for my grub, I realized I was sitting right next to an egg with legs in a recliner. That will mess with your head a little bit. Well, perhaps it will if you are weak with hunger. Triumphantly, my breakfast entered the room (given the size of the place, I could have probably watched her put it on the plate). Inadvertently, I heard trumpets sound. This breakfast looked glorious. I could barely contain myself. I snapped a few pics to document the occasion, because nothing would remain, and then I dove in. The eggs were fluffy and delicious. The giant pork chop was cooked to perfection. Even if your stomach gets full at this early stage, they plop a large quantity of hashbrowns that are cooked to perfection — buttery middles with browned outsides — and some fantastic buttered toast and jam right beside you. Matt's is simply not playing around with your hunger. It's crushing it. I ate to my heart’s content. All of this was washed down with some of the best orange juice I have ever had. To say that this was a glorious experience would not be enough. However, to state that I had to roll myself home might be the best act of praise I could give. Matt's Big Breakfast is located at 801 N. 1st St. (602.254.1074) — light rail station at Central/Roosevelt.

Late registration and entry can be pricey to some of the events, but if you have the means, please do stop by. The expo will feature hundreds of exhibits of people and companies doing their part to lessen their impact on the earth. But, there's so much more to explore. There's a green-building job fair, forums, roundtables, films, lectures, summits, tours, hikes and more, exploring green initiatives in Phoenix, Arizona and beyond. This is a great opportunity to share ideas and take away some new knowledge. Coinciding with Greenbuild is the Phoenix Green Streets Festival on Friday and Saturday, November 13-14. Put on by Roosevelt Row, Green Streets will feature vendors and demonstrations of all things green in Phoenix. The festival will take place on Roosevelt Street between 4th and 7th streets from 6-10 p.m. on Friday. There's all kinds of fun stuff happening all day Saturday, which is the Day for Downtown celebration — tree plantings, demonstrations at the Grow House, visiting with urban chickens and park clean-up events. Plus, there's sustainability-minded vendors at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market and Urban Grocery and Wine Bar, and many of Downtown Phoenix's favorite boutiques and shops will be open for urban strolling on the Second Saturday Sidewalk Sale.

Lambasting Walmart is a pastime in which I tend to indulge quite frequently. Given the love that DPJers have for sustainable living, staying local and human rights, I would imagine that most of the people reading this article have probably thrown a barb or two Walmart's way as well. But, it is one thing to bitch about Walmart when you're at The Roosevelt with friends, and it is something completely different to take the message to the streets... in costume... with a full gospel choir. The guy with the balls to do that is "Reverend Billy," the nom de guerre of Bill Talen, the leader of a street performance group known as the Church of Stop Shopping, featured in the documentary What Would Jesus Buy? The film, directed by Rob VanAlkemade and produced by Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame, follows the postmodern minister and his followers as they travel across the country singing anti-consumerism songs in gospel choir style and accosting the outlets of evil empires like Starbucks and Disney. To get the flavor for how Rev. Billy and his Choir operate, one classic scene takes place at the gargantuan Mall of America, a monstrosity of a monument to overspending and overindulgence in Bloomington, MN. They travel through the mall in choir robes (except for Rev. Billy, who is dressed like a cross between Jim Bakker and Bishop T.D. Jakes) slowly breaking into song, building up to a crescendo in which they take over a stage at the center of the mall singing anti-shopping gospel songs.

"We're on a mission to save Christmas... from over consumption. We want people to discover another way to give gifts to each other this year." — Rev. Billy

As with most of the street actions in the film, their takeover of the mall results in them being escorted off site by the police, never breaking character, and blessing people along the way. That is the appeal of the Church of Stop Shopping. They are not a parody; they are barely even doing what I would call "performing." Their devotion to the cause of keeping businesses local and using resources ethically is just as deeply held as the religious faith that a "real" gospel choir would have. One of my favorite scenes in the movie features Rev. Billy buying a sweater from a small downtown merchant whose business has been decimated by the opening of a Walmart. The store owner tells him about the changes that have happened in their downtown since Walmart opened; what once was a vibrant community where people would stroll the sidewalks and spend time in the local businesses until midnight has now become a ghost town. The movie reaches its apex when the church members covertly sneak into Disneyland and break out into song, only to be arrested by the Anaheim police as Rev. Billy shouts, "Stop shopping here!" Just as the annoying holiday commercials start coming on the air, I can't recommend What Would Jesus Buy strongly enough. Sure, you will probably end up buying a bunch of crap for your friends and family from Target, but maybe you will think a little bit about how you are contributing to what Rev. Billy calls the "Shopacolypse."

There's a new brunch in town

After all of that hating on Starbucks and the evil corporate empires, I was delighted to sit in on a sneak preview of the upcoming weekend brunch service at Postino Central (beginning November 22). The morning started out amazingly with a French press of Cartel coffee. I love French press restaurant service, and I think it suits Postino perfectly. The menu was still in trial mode, but let me tell you, you are in for a treat. The Postino team took their penchant for simple but classy food at reasonable prices and created an amazing brunch experience. We started off with a walnut toast served with amazing berry preserves and triple cream brie. The flavors blended perfectly, although I would have liked a bit more bread (I am told more toast will be served when the menu is finalized). I ordered grilled foccacia with eggs and asparagus, with a tomato salad on the side. The food was stellar. A great mix of textures and tastes, and of course it was served with classic Postino style. With delicious brunch items running around $8, Postino Central will give Fez a run for its money — and the amazing coffee at Postino will kill Fez's nasty swill any day. The brunching starts in a week, so I hope to see you there!]]> 5780 0 0 0 2409 http://www.reader.co.il/authors/13759/%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9F-%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%A0%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%A7 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/13/quick-glimpse-greenbuild/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:09:38 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5800 Stroll through Greenbuild 2009 from Downtown Phoenix Journal on Vimeo.]]> 5800 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/14/office-1920s-tudor-revival/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:13:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5806 Why buy a small, traditional office building when you could operate your business from this 1920s Tudor Revival located on the border of two high-demand historic districts? Originally a 2 BR, 1 BA residence, it has been used as an office since '92. The two original bedrooms have been combined (opened up) into one larger office space. The living room has been used as reception and secretarial space. It could be a residence, as there is a kitchen and bath, but there are offices on either side of this property.

Funk, acoustic, soul, indie rock and blues melodies have graced the stage. In the name of diversity, Civic Space is quickly becoming one of Downtown's more reliable music spots. This Third Friday is no different. The psychedelic post-rock sounds of Terra Firma will ring throughout the park. The Phoenix band is known for drawn-out, complex prog rock anthems and describes its sound as sounding like "a long train ride through the desert." We're not really sure what that means, but we know it sounds good. The band's new EP, In This Sign You Will Conquer, will be out soon, but you can hear some of the new jams on Friday.

The Train Tracks is a local music series that chronicles Phoenix-area artists playing music on the METRO light rail. The idea is simple: the artist or band boards a light rail train and plays a few tunes for the video camera before exiting. Audience participation is encouraged. Later, visit the Train Tracks website to vote on which artist you like best. Every quarter, semifinalists play a show at the Phoenix Art Museum. The winner of that bout plays another showcase with other quarterly champions, and the winner plays Tempe Music Festival. Fame and fortune follow shortly thereafter. You Me and Apollo will do a brief sound check at Stinkweeds, then board the train at the Central/Camelback station around 5:20 p.m. Show up at Stinkweeds and join the gang as they travel Frogger-style across Camelback and the light rail platform. The bigger the posse, the better! If you've unexpectedly (or purposefully) witnessed a Train Tracks session, then you know how natural and fun it is. You (sort of) feel like you're taking a subway train in New York City, but you're breezing by Pane Bianco instead. Imagine that — culture... in Phoenix... on a train! Stinkweeds is located at 12 W.

This event is hosted and conceived from a local non-profit group that is helping our community in its own way. Communitas is doing its part for our community. It hosts some pretty intriguing events: Taco Day, a taco-eating frenzy that supports a new charity each year; On Bike with Love, where you form a charitable bike gang that delivers care packages to the needy; and many more. So, I approach this event with some suspicion. After all, who gives away free beer with no strings attached? Apparently Communitas does. At a house on 7th Street and Coronado, there was a yard full of guests and a porch full of some of the finest local brews you can imagine. It started off with some judging from some local patrons, and then it came the mob’s turn to judge. We were encouraged to vote for the beer we preferred by placing a dollar or two in the bin next to each keg — a charitable gesture. The proceeds were not kept, but collected to help some of our local transients with acquiring necessities. This is all well and good, but inside this lovely 1920s bungalow resided a table loaded with homemade goodies — everything from pulled pork barbecue to seafood pasta. If anything, these people know how to throw a party and support their community. I feel inclined to jump on board with them. Check them out. Become a part of the cure.

On Friday afternoon, conference attendees got out and explored some of the Valley’s green buildings and innovative sites. Of particular interest to DPJ readers was a tour of five urban infill sites in Downtown Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_5942" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo courtesy of ASU"][/caption] The first stop on the tour was Arizona Biomedical Collaborative Building 1 at 5th and Van Buren streets. This building is the result of a unique partnership between University of Arizona and Arizona State University. It was built to support the two universities' research in biology, chemistry and biomedical informatics. The ABC is the first building in Downtown Phoenix to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. Along with receiving LEED points for being an urban infill project and proximity to public transit, the building was also lauded for its shower and cycling facilities, flexible laboratory and office planning, use of recycled and locally sourced materials and a series of energy and water conservation features. The tour then progressed up 5th Street to Bioscience High School. Not only is the high school home to a unique curriculum of study, but the building itself is also a learning tool. It is designed as a facility that is both environmentally sensitive to its urban desert context and well suited to its academic purpose. The Bioscience High School campus employs solar hot water heaters (and is "wired" to accommodate photovoltaic panels in the future) and maximizes the use of natural light throughout the campus. It also employs flexible learning spaces. While time and budget constraints prevented the building from achieving LEED accreditation when it was first built, a student group is planning to seek accreditation as a school project. They hope to obtain a LEED Silver rating. [caption id="attachment_5867" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Photograph by Yuri Artibise"][/caption] The next stop was the recently opened ASU Nursing and Health Innovation Building on the corner of 3rd and Fillmore streets. While there have been some concerns about the cost and sustainability of the building's copper exterior, the tour learned that the 80% of the copper used was sourced from recycled materials and was much cheaper than the glass curtain wall prevalent on many buildings. In addition, the copper siding is almost maintenance-free, and will naturally patina as it weathers. Some other environmental features incorporated in the building include structural shade incorporated into the design of the building, the salvaging and replanting of the trees that were originally on the site, solar water heating and a 60% reduction of water consumption through xeriscaping and low-flow fixtures. The project is expected to earn Downtown’s second LEED Gold certification. Next up was another ASU building: the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication/KAET Channel 8. This was a great day for the Greenbuild tour to take place, as the building was gearing up for the presentation of its LEED Silver certification by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) President Rick Fedrizzi later in the afternoon. Sustainability was an integral part of the design and construction of the building. Green features include the building’s orientation, which allows for maximizing daylight; its to mixed use of retail, classrooms, offices and television studios; and the use of condensation from the air handler in irrigating the building's native and adaptive landscaping. [caption id="attachment_5892" align="alignright" width="189" caption="Photograph by Yuri Artibise"][/caption] The last stop of the day was the city of Phoenix’s Civic Space Park. While not seeking LEED certification, the park is an example that going green does not mean sacrificing aesthetics. The focus of this stop was the park's solar panels. These panels are integrated into the park’s unique shade canopies. Combined, the solar system generates 75,000 kWh annually (enough to power eight to nine residential homes), providing most of the park’s energy needs. The system is designed for expandability and future energy needs. Other sustainable features of the park include its brownfield site, the shade structures and its porous concrete walkways. The participants in the tour were not only impressed by the sites we visited, but also by the fact that after three days of meetings inside the Convention Center, they were able to stretch their legs and witness firsthand how Downtown Phoenix is reemerging as a vibrant urban hub.]]> 5864 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/17/sips-grub-buffalo-66-thats-a-wrap/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:42:14 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5909 That’s a Wrap. Perhaps that is a true statement, or just my inferiority complex acting up again. At first glance, I honestly thought this was one of those places that exudes hipster vibe, but is possibly too good to be true. It is a cool-looking place with a far too inadequate (and frankly, scary) parking situation. It is laden with murals and vintage trinkets that huddle in every corner. Emanating from the kitchen comes the sweet smells of awesomeness being born, intertwined with the sound of indie rock. Inferiority aside, this place is definitely cooler than me. I rifle through the menu that is ripe with delicious-sounding things, and select the Buffalo ’66. Maybe this is taking it easy on them. Buffalo chicken is kind of fail-safe, to a degree. This particular meal is served with some finger-lickin’ pasta salad and washed down with a attention-grabbing berry lemonade. The Buffalo ’66, to be honest, is far better than I imagined it to be. Every bite shouts with fresh lettuce and carrots. The chicken is succulent and carefully waded in some awesome buffalo sauce. This ain’t Mama’s buffalo chicken. It packs a spicyness that is just perfect. No offense, Mama, but this might be a new favorite of mine. And that, my friends, is a wrap. That's a Wrap is located at 2022 N. 7th St. in Coronado. 602.252.5051.

She will tell it like it is, so you don't end up with orange hair....unless you wanted that kinda thing. Be sure to say Hi to the owner Tad, who is a wonderful human being.

Um, they also have free soda, lots of great art books to peruse while your hair is "cooking" and the people watching is second to none. There are a lot of stylists at Hair Pollution, my advice is to talk to the lovely lady at the front and ask her opinion (it is worth its weight in gold, trust me) on the best stylist for your needs. Don't expect to pay $20 for a cut here, but you also won't be dropping Scottsdiggity scrill either. You get what you pay for, so commit to looking fabulous, and make it a budget priority.

While most booths were promoting green products and sustainable services, Local First Arizona (LFA) was there promoting local businesses. This had me intrigued, so I asked LFA Director Kimber Lanning to explain why she thought it was important to represent local businesses at Greenbuild. [caption id="attachment_5925" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Local First Arizona is turning green"][/caption] During our discussion, Kimber reminded me that sustainability has three central facets: environmental, social and economic. So, in addition to promoting local business and restaurants to conference attendees, LFA was there to remind people about the social and economic aspects of being green. Locally owned businesses create more local jobs, pay more taxes and reinvest more money in their immediate communities. This is especially important to realize in today’s economy, when state and local governments are purchasing from out-of-state businesses instead of local ones to save a few dollars. While governments may save a few thousand dollars in purchasing costs, these savings are often outweighed by the loss of local jobs, tax income and community reinvestment. As a result, purchasing slightly cheaper products and services from out-of-state corporations often leaves the state balance sheet worse off. Not only was Greenbuild an opportunity to promote the virtues of shopping locally, but it was also an opportunity for LFA to connect with many green-business owners in Arizona. While LFA is mainly known for restaurants and retail businesses, it is open to all Arizonan-owned business. During the conference, Kimber and Russ Baurichter, LFA’s membership coordinator, met with dozens of Arizona-based trades, contractors, architects and other green-business owners from Arizona that they may not have otherwise connected with. This not only strengthened and broadened the membership base of LFA, but it also gave Arizona’s green industry access to an important resource that will help strengthen the sector. It also served as a reminder that buying local means not only groceries and gifts, but also green products and services. Local First Arizona is a nonprofit organization representing a coalition of over 1,700 locally owned businesses that work to create sustainability through the encouragement of local economies. The LFA offices can be reached by phone at 602.956-0909 or by email.

“The Time is Now”

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Good evening! Let me thank Jeanine L’Ecuyer for doing such a great job as our emcee tonight. Let’s give her a hand. And let me acknowledge our title sponsor, Freeport McMoRan for making this free event possible tonight. Freeport McMoRan continues to be the world’s largest publicly owned copper company – and a fantastic corporate partner. We’re proud to have their global headquarters in downtown Phoenix. And I’d like to acknowledge my colleagues from the Phoenix City Council who have joined us this evening. Let’s thank them for all the hard work they do for our community. But what also makes this City run – is the best collection of city employees in the country. And they are all led by our very talented – and brand new – city manager, David Cavazos. Please help me thank them all. And thank all of YOU so much for joining us for our Sixth State of Downtown Celebration – and the very first one to be held outdoors – where we can all mingle with people and actually SEE downtown Phoenix. And I know you’ll agree with me that what we have done is truly a unique revitalization of downtown. Other cities have tried for decades to pump life into their downtowns – including us. Why? Because we have learned that for a City to be healthy – it must have a healthy heart. And that heart – that core – is its downtown. When a city is battling sprawl and decay, its heart grows weak. But when you have a healthy downtown – a healthy heart – the core grows denser and stronger, more active – and pumps new life into the entire city. For those of you who have been coming to these events all along, we’ve experienced some interesting things together haven’t we? We were among the very first to gather in the expanded Convention Center – and to meet in our new Downtown Sheraton. We all rode the light rail a month before anyone else -- and we welcomed the University of Arizona, to downtown Phoenix. I want to acknowledge the historic significance of that. The U of A put the interests of the State first and did something unprecedented in history – by expanding their medical school to Phoenix -- AND they did it by partnering with ASU. Let’s give our visionary friends from the University of Arizona a big round of applause. Some of you might even remember another “First” when, using incredible state-of-the-art technology, we all watched a giant video screen and saw a U of A doctor and Tucson medical students examine and diagnose Phoenix City Councilman Claude Mattox from 100 miles away. This means that rural communities and small schools can now access personal medical attention, literally, with a very small camera and the click of a mouse. It’s tremendously important and amazing. Well tonight – we’re at our new Civic Space – next to the historic A. E. England Building which opened for the first time in 1929 – and now, has reopened 80 years later as a 21^st Century Town Hall – a free resource for all in our community. And, of course, overhead, we are stunningly surrounded by one of Janet Echelman’s defining pieces of art – “Her Secret is Patience”. Though with all due respect to Ms. Echelman -- when it comes to building a downtown – MY Secret is that I am NEVER patient. My secret is Nike’s motto – Just Do It. And for the past six years, that’s EXACTLY what WE have been doing. I’m not going to spend my usual 10 minutes recapping what’s been going on around here. You’ve seen it. You’ve eaten in the new unique restaurants, visited the galleries, enjoyed the NBA All-Star activities, continue to enjoy OUR “Best in the NBA” Phoenix Suns – and 17,000 of you watched the Phoenix Mercury – the GREAT Phoenix Mercury -- win their second championship in three years. And just last week, we hosted the International Greenbuild conference – bringing 28,000 people to Phoenix from all over the globe. So yes, our downtown really did have a year that made most cities “green” – and not just in an environmental way. In an envious way. But that was yesterday. This year, I want to focus on this evening. And all our tomorrows. Yes, it’s been a tough year economically for everyone. You’ve heard all about it, read all about and felt it. But in spite of it all, we’ve still got a lot going on in downtown Phoenix. And it’s all good. In fact, as we gather here tonight, more than 1 million square feet of new space is currently under construction in downtown Phoenix. And in ANY economy, a million is STILL a very big number. A big part of that big number, is represented by CityScape. As you might recall, CityScape is truly a landmark project – $900 million dollars in private investment over 3 city blocks in the heart of our downtown. As of tonight, 74 percent of both its commercial and retail space has already been leased – six full months before its completion. Six years ago, I got the biggest applause of my life when I announced that I wanted to bulldoze Patriots’ Park and replace it with something that would be a jewel for Downtown, and would honor our Patriots in a more inviting and inclusive way. The new Patriots’ park is now under construction. You all know that CityScape is going to take downtown to a whole new level. Restaurants, night clubs, our first REAL downtown pharmacy, a grocery store – it’s all incredibly exciting. And ONE new addition to CityScape is VERY exciting. It’s called Lucky Strike. Lucky Strike is a bowling alley, but it’s not like any bowling alley you’ve ever seen. It’s a restaurant, but so much more. It’s a sports bar, but so much more. It’s simply “an entertainment experience”.

But until you can experience it for yourself – you’ll just have to SEE it for yourself. Recently, a Lucky Strike opened to RAVE reviews in Hollywood. And THIS is what it looks like. Please watch the screen.

I’m not a very good bowler – unless I can use those bumpers that my 10 year old son Jake USED to use -- so let me ask my new friend to join me on stage and help us celebrate Lucky Strike by knocking down a few pins.

So CityScape will continue to change the face – and the dynamics – of downtown Phoenix for decades to come. And if you ask the folks from RED Development why they think NOW is the time to be downtown -- they’ll tell you it’s because ASU thought it was time to be downtown. It IS time. And ASU changed everything. That’s why we’re here – in this park – our first sustainable park in Phoenix. Because I want to say “thank you” to Dr. Crow and to ASU – and to highlight the steady heartbeat of Arizona State University – which continues to pump life into downtown Phoenix, continues to generate revenue for the State – and continues to do what universities are supposed to do: educate our residents, and prepare them to change the world for the better. When Dr. Crow and I envisioned the 21^st Century University in the heart of downtown Phoenix, many people thought we were crazy. OK, many still do. But not the voters – or our great bond committee – or our City Council. We told all of those visionaries that a downtown campus would create an economic benefit before construction, during construction and long after construction ended. We promised it would not only bring new life to downtown, but it would also restore old buildings and build new ones. That it would bring students. And faculty. And staff. And a 21^st Century energy. And all the things that make a university, a university. And as promised, it’s done all those things: Enrollment is up 42 percent, with 8,000 students, faculty and staff downtown. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications opened – with the freshman class growing by an amazing 45 percent. And the two big reasons, according to the Dean, are THIS beautiful building; and the fact that it’s in Downtown Phoenix. A $30 million dollar addition to the Nursing school just opened – as did the second tower at Taylor Place – that nearly 800 students now call home. Some have said that ASU is our downtown “Sutter Mill” – where, in the 1840s, many miners stuck it rich with the gold nuggets they panned from the Creek. But ASU is much more than a few nuggets – it’s a gold mine. Because when you look beneath the surface -- when you dig deeper – that’s where you strike the REAL gold. And with ASU Downtown, Phoenix has hit the mother lode. We’ve struck REAL gold – (and a little maroon). And we’re just beginning. There’s a classic line they teach in marketing class that cautions us to keep our eyes on the REAL ball. The line says: “When someone buys a hammer their goal isn’t to drive a few nails – their goal is to build something.” That’s an important lesson. We don’t invest in universities just to pound a few nails and hang a few doors. We build universities so thousands of graduates will be able to open thousands of their own doors. Therefore, when we seek funding for universities, the goal is not to buy bricks and mortar, the goal is to move beyond even solar technology -- creating clean, renewable energy from the simple motion of plants. To design smarter and greener cities. To advance and apply the science that will improve the quality AND the length of your life. The measure of a university isn’t what happens inside the four walls of a classroom. It’s what happens after students leave those four walls, and set out to change the world – and do. That’s the end product. That’s why we invest in education. That’s why we focus on education. And it’s why communities with vision, communities like ours, support education. Absolutely, ASU has brought excitement to downtown Phoenix. It’s brought students and professors. It’s attracted research grants, investment dollars, businesses, restaurants and galleries. And it’s sent a big signal to everyone – including our friends at CityScape – that for downtown, “Our Time is Now”. Before I introduce you to today’s guest lecturer, let me tell you a few more things that I know about ASU, and why we should all care so much about it. For starters, it is already creating over 2,500 good-paying jobs. Blue Collar. White Collar. Green Collar. That’s 2,500 families that can pay their bills and make purchases. And as we all know, “purchases = sales tax”. In fact, the construction phase of ASU downtown has produced more than Ten Million Dollars in state sales tax revenues from construction materials alone. While our sales tax revenues have declined citywide, in downtown Phoenix, they are up by 13 percent. Those are the nuggets. Now, for the gold mine: ASU has produced two Nobel laureates – one in 2004 and one just this year. Its freshman class is the largest and most academically qualified in university history. 31 percent were within the top 10 percent of their high school class – and 64 percent were in the top quarter. ASU is in the top 10 producers of Fulbright Scholars -- producing 92 in the past 6 years. 612 National Merit Scholars enrolled at ASU last year and 324 National Hispanic Scholars. This year, research expenditures exceeded $300 million dollars for the first time in ASU history. Research laboratory space increased by 72 percent and, near and dear to my own heart – ASU founded the nation’s very first School of Sustainability. And I promise you, the greatness of a city in the future will not be measured by square miles or population – a city’s greatness will be measured by its ability to sustain itself into the next Century. Organizationally, ASU has added thirty-one new schools in the past 7 years – including: The School of Sustainable Engineering. The School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering. The School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering. The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. The School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning. And, of course, the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication – right across the street. By the way, Brian Williams is anchoring the national NBC Nightly news from the roof of the Cronkite building right about now. So let’s all make a lot of noise and let the country hear us in Downtown Phoenix !!! These new schools will produce thousands of students with unique degrees in those areas. And those thousands of students – armed with their new and excellent education -- will keep Phoenix AND Arizona competitive as we charge into this new Century – and sustain into the next. ASU is such a unique University. It has great professors, great students and, according to TIME Magazine a Top Ten President in Dr. Michael Crow. Like Phoenix, rather than letting the future define us – ASU is defining the future – and shaping courses that will shape that future. That’s why we’re partners with ASU. And thanks to our city employees, my colleagues, Arizona State University and all of you, the future we shape together will be bigger, better and brighter. It’s not just buildings. It’s everything. Take a look.

Last year, I suggested that we all needed to see downtown for ourselves. And we hopped on a light rail car and did. This year, I want you to HEAR for yourselves, why ASU Downtown matters. And for that, I’ve set up a little classroom here tonight – and have invited a guest lecturer to make a short presentation to this very important class. By the way, there WILL be a short test afterwards, so listen carefully. Please welcome ASU’s Vice President for Research and Economic Affairs, Dr. Rick Shangraw.

(ASU REMARKS)

Thank you so much Dr. Shangraw. Before I dismiss this class, let me end with a heartfelt and passionate plea for everyone who cares about this community, this state, and our shared future – to keep investing in education. You’ve just heard a little bit about what universities mean to our future. You have heard for yourselves the wisdom of our investment in the downtown campus. You know the progress it has sparked. You see the good work being done by students, teachers and researchers. We invest in universities to seek and build a better world. To find new cures. To perfect new technologies. To protect our fragile planet. We invest in universities because life is complex and intertwined – and we need well-educated people to solve those complexities and connect all those dots. Thank you for continuing to support what we’re doing in education. Thank you for continuing to support what we’re doing downtown. And thank you all very much for joining us this evening. Don’t forget to grab your recycled gift bag on the way out – remember to “Shop Phoenix” -- and PLEASE drive safely. And with that…class is dismissed.]]> 5949 0 0 0 1451 http://coppelearning.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/governance-fixing-downtown-phoenix-ideas-into-action/ 0 0 1408 http://coppelearning.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/governance-the-state-of-what/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/19/radiatephx-whats-wrong-downtown/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:01:09 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5952 This month's RadiatePhx event is a bit unique. Usually the discussion centers on the great things happening around Central Phoenix. This time, RadiatePhx wants to hear what you don't like about living in Downtown Phoenix. What can we improve? What needs fixing? How do we create a world-class Downtown that we can all respect? Don't think of these points as complaints — think of them as constructive criticism. Join moderator Tyler Hurst at the event and let your thoughts be known. Tyler's guest blog below is just the tip of the iceberg. See you on Tuesday. -Ed. Downtown Phoenix isn't about businesses, buildings or parks. It's about people. Those that live, work and/or play here make this place what it is. It's not that great. Sure, there's plenty of potential and lots of usable space, but we really haven't done much. Copper Square was a failed experiment. Have you EVER seen that place busy? Elsewhere, it's impossible to walk anywhere north of I-10. And what are we doing about it? Well, nothing, really. We're having our little events and hoping that something good will happen. Then we congratulate each other. It's time to stop flailing blindly and get on the same page. Let's share our gripes and figure out ways to get better. Here are mine.

1. Anything fun is spaced too far away. We have small little hives of activity connected with long, dark patches of absolutely nothing.
2. A lot of the people living here are liberal artists. They don't make much money, don't understand how to make money and seem content with First Fridays for selling anything. Yeah, good luck with that.
3. We have tons of groups, yet no one talks to each other. Go ask marketing people they'll tell you the same. We all have our own thing on our own day, and they're all sparsely attended.
4. Everyone wants a creative class down here, but no one understands what the hell that even is.
5. Most are against anything corporate or chain, yet they don't understand that's where the money comes from.
6. Everything is shiny happy unicorn rainbows all the time. THE BEST EVENT EVER! First Friday was a blast! The little scavenger hunt we had changed my life (OK, that last one was actually fun)! It's called perspective. Try it.
7. No one looks around. Nice TwitterHunt last week, CenPho businesses. Didn't bother to check that many of the people using social media had their own GeekWeekAZ and were too tired to participate, did you?
8. Too many businesses think A) Twitter is the answer or B) don't have a clue what the internet, much less social media, even is. I live downtown and I don't hear a damn thing about what goes on down here, and I'm constantly searching social media channels. It's about BALANCE.
9. Everyone bitches, but no one bitches out loud and in public. Pissed about Modified Arts? SAY SOMETHING. Want to start a music venue? ASK AROUND.
10. We want our Downtown to be just like someone else's. It doesn't work that way. While I love the Gaslamp District, our city leaders seem too concerned with north Phoenix to make that happen. You want to improve your city? DO IT.
11. Phoenix thinks it has an image problem, when Phoenix IS THE PROBLEM. It's foot-burning, nose-drying, armpit-sweating hot five months every year here, and we have a Downtown WITHOUT ANY SHADED SIDEWALKS.
12. You built a park in the middle of the city and didn't bother to shade it. Instead, we got a floating cervix that only looks good at night.
13. The Arizona Republic still exists, apparently above questioning. Does anyone even read that rag anymore? Arpaio met with Biden? WHO'S REPORTING WHAT?
14. Businesses think light rail is the answer. No, being amazing is the answer. Light rail is just a more efficient way of bringing people to you.
15. Too often, criticism is passed off as complaining. Ever try asking a critic if they're willing to help? I bet they are!
16. ASU has been allowed to grow in the middle of Downtown, without any sort of clear plan as to what role it will play in the community. Right now, it offers residents limited WiFi. Woohoo.
17. There's always talk about shopping local, yet no one actually does it. Ever seen unmanageable lines at the Phoenix Public Market? Me neither.
18. That people probably haven't even read this far.

In a move straight outta Napa Valley, Arizona Wine Growers is showcasing its finest vino in the first-ever Arizona Wine Growers Festival at the Farm at South Mountain on Sunday, November 22. The farm's picturesque 12-acre pecan grove is the setting for tastings from nearly every winery in the state, discussions, walk-through exhibits, award presentations and live local music. Over 20 wineries in all will offer well over a hundred different wines to sample, paired with some delectable local eats. The Farm Kitchen and Santa Barbara Catering Company will offer a selection of picnic sandwiches and salads throughout the afternoon. Haven't tried Scottsdale's Su Vino Winery pinot noir yet? Or the soothing chardonnay from Kokopelli Winery in Chandler? Now is your chance! It's no secret that we love wine here at DPJ (you've probably spotted our crew members at Postino Central or Cheuvront more than a few times), but we confess we're not really "experts," per se. So, it's a good thing the wine gurus at AJ's Fine Foods will be teaching us how to sip critically and responsibly. Best of all, the wine seminars during the afternoon will make us sound like wine pros when we take our friends out on the town. As if all this isn't enough, there are fantastic items up for auction, including all kinds of wine swag and vacation packages. The Grower's Cup Awards dinner, held after the festival with separate ticket purchase ($125), will feature locally harvested, organic cuisine from the exquisite Quiessence restaurant at the Farm at South Mountain. The festival takes place on Sunday, November 22 and runs from 1-5 p.m. Tickets are $65. The Grower's Cup Awards dinner follows.

You can watch his funny side on old episodes of Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show, or hear him on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! Or, you can show up at an awards luncheon where he's speaking. In front of a crown of more than 1,000 journalism and business professionals, he was entirely too willing to make a penis joke about Walter Cronkite. "Walter Cronkite was the first of the Mad Men," Williams said from the podium, referring to, well you know exactly what show he was referring to. Williams went on to talk about how shirts, and those in any kind of power, only came in white back then. And, that pants were huge. "Walter's (pants) came up to his chin. At times, you could see the real Cronkite endowment." The crowd lost it. Members of the Cronkite Endowment Board of Trustees were present and had been introduced earlier, making Williams' deadpan even better. This black-suit-and-tie audience was assembled at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Phoenix on Wednesday, November 18 to celebrate Williams receiving the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism. "This honor that you've given me today, all the jokes aside, is the highest honor I've recieved above all in my career — I get to have my name mentioned alongside Cronkite, in the same sentence as the man I grew up wanting to be," Williams said during a more serious moment as he reflected on receiving the award. Williams had a great admiration for Cronkite, both as a journalist and as a person. He called him incredibly kind, devoted to his craft and the cutest man on God's green earth, complete with fluffy white hair and bushy eyebrows. "Professionally, the day he died is the day I lost my North Star," Williams said. "I learned all I know about the world from Walter Cronkite." For all the awards and accolades Williams has received, and considering the 9-million-plus pairs of eyeballs that watch him host the news every night, Williams is a genuinely humble broadcast journalist. He's quick to offer that he was just a hard-working kid who got some lucky breaks. He never earned a college degree. "I insist, and I promise you that I'm the least qualified of the 26 recipients [of the Cronkite award so far]," Williams said. "And, even the next 26 recipients of this award." The Cronkite Award has been presented annually by the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University since 1984 to journalists who stand out as superstars in their field. Previous recipients include George Will, Helen Thomas, Andy Rooney and Tom Brokaw, whom Williams inherited Nightly News' anchor chair from in 2004. This was the first time the award was given since Cronkite's passing in July of this year. Cronkite, along with the Endowment Board, would select the recipients each year. Williams is the last whom Cronkite had a hand in choosing. "Think of that ratio — 26 of us, one Walter Cronkite. The way I see it, that's they way it should be. More importantly, that's the way it is," Williams said, ending his acceptance speech with the same trademark signnoff of the man who Williams said brought him the world.]]> 5985 0 0 0 1478 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=509296267 0 165 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/20/insecure-critic-mclibel-burrito-revolution/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:19:57 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=5990 McLibel According to Netflix, I enjoy "cerebral documentaries," so I figured I would run with it and watch yet another of its recommended movies, a documentary by Franny Armstrong called McLibel. It documents the longest trial in English history, the defamation trial of anti-McDonald's activists Helen Steel and David Morris. England has long been known as a sort of libel haven because its laws are so slanted in favor of the person who is making the accusation. McDonald's took advantage of this when it chose to sue the two over their pamphlet called What’s wrong with McDonald’s: Everything they don’t want you to know. The outline of the film roughly follows that of the ensuing trial — one by one, each of the accusations against McDonald's is examined to determine if they are supported by factual evidence. While the facts of the case are shown in a value-neutral manner, for the most part, the sympathies are clearly with the activists. This especially shows in the portrayal of a meeting in which McDonald's offered to settle the case in exchange for the defendants refusing to discuss the case publicly. They declined, and continued fighting. In the end, the judge found that many of the pamphlet's accusations were, in fact, not sufficiently proven — they could not document for certain that McDonald's food was killing people or destroying the rain forest — at the end of a marathon 10 years of litigation, the defendants were slapped with a penalty of only £60,000 (about $99,000). The film takes a pretty straightforward documentary approach without too much emotional manipulation. The version now available, released in 2005, includes an addendum that describes the victory of the defendants in their case at the European Court of Human Rights, in which they asserted that the UK Government had violated their basic rights of freedom of expression in not offering the defendants legal aid in the libel trial. Sure, it isn't Fahrenheit 911 or even Super Size Me, but it is a great film about the truth behind one of the most influential consumer-focused businesses on earth, and how people who believe in something can make a difference. It is always pleasant to see a giant fall, and this story is no exception.

Revõ Burrito

32nd Street may be stretching the definition of Downtown, but this place is my new obsession, so I just had to write about it. Revõ Burrito (yes, it is pronounced REE-vo) is another restaurant by Lenny Rosenberg, the inventor of Blue Burrito Grille, and current owner of Father's Office knockoff Delux Burger and mediocre sushi joint Zen 32. Situated on the same corner as its cousins, Revõ Burrito stands apart as a delicious, fresh, pile of amazingness. The best way to describe the food is like a Chipotle that is run by gourmet chefs. The beans are delicious, if a bit simple, and have perfect texture. The rice is amazing; it is creamy with corn mixed in. I have had the grilled veggie burrito (squash, peppers, etc.) and the organic black bean burrito, both of which are great. I would recommend the veggie, though, and order it as a platter with rice and beans on the side so you can still get your fill of both. The combo platters also come with so-so chips and fresh salsa — get the tomatillo. The pricing usually works out to be a bit on the high side for a quick-service joint: A burrito combo and a lemonade will set you back about $12 by the time all is said and done, so it isn't cheap, but it is worth it. The burritos are made fresh and the service is very helpful. It is a modified Pei Wei sort of set up where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The decor is very trendy and eclectic, although I find it very annoying when a restaurateur spends so much time and effort on the design and architectural detail of the space, then starts printing up signs like "order here" and "we now serve brown rice" on what appears to be a HP inkjet, then tapes them to the registers, counters, etc. There is a reason why sign professionals exist — use them. And, the best comes last: The lemonade, oh the lemonade. I could do without the gaudy FastSigns that assault you at the entrance, but I can forgive them because the lemonade is so amazing. They serve a traditional, fresh-squeezed, old-fashioned lemonade in addition to mango, strawberry and raspberry flavors. I recommend going for a mix of the two berries... it is heaven. I would drink it all day long if I could. Stop by Revõ Burrito one of these nights, and odds are you will see me there enjoying a veggie combo. Seriously, I will be there.]]> 5990 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/23/bearded-truth-size-matter/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:00:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6002 Councilman Mike Johnson) serves both the Downtown Phoenix business community and the South Phoenix residential community. It means that District 4 (Vice Mayor Tom Simplot) serves both Central Phoenix and portions of Maryvale and West Phoenix. It means that city councilors are asked to represented different segments of our population with extremely different needs. In other words, the issues that residents of Ahwatukee are dealing with (an expansion of the Loop 202, for instance), have little to no effect on the residents of Arcadia. Except, of course, that their voice in City Hall is focused on tasks other than those pertinent then their own. Both populations are served by District 6 (Councilman Sal Diciccio), whose council map looks like this. Phoenix has a population of more than 1.5 million people, which means on average, each city councilor is responsible for shepherding a flock of close to 200,000 people — many times made up of dozens of smaller communities with uniquely individual needs. The argument can be made that we elect people competent enough to multi-task and have the best interest of all their residents in mind, but I challenge you to look at the district map and tell me that the residents of Downtown Phoenix's historic neighborhoods like Willo, Coronado, Roosevelt and Encanto-Palmcroft have the same municipal needs as Laveen or Maryvale — which explains the daily challenge of District 7 and Councilman Michael Nowakowski. This conversation is not new. Representative Chad Campbell (District 14) has been working with the O'Connor House in developing a comprehensive plan to redistrict the city of Phoenix in a more intuitive and common-sense way. With the 2010 census right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start thinking about this — and many other issues affecting our city. I'm looking forward to your thoughts below, and can't wait to see you at RadiatePhx tomorrow night, where there will be all sorts of discussion about making our city a better place to live, work and play.]]> 6002 0 0 0 1442 http://urbansam.com 1440 0 1437 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 1438 http://derekneighbors.com 0 0 1436 http://twitter.com/azkansei 0 0 1439 http://urbansam.com 0 0 1440 http://derekneighbors.com 1439 0 1441 http://derekneighbors.com 1439 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/11/23/midcentury-modern-fq-story-historic-district/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:54:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6003 Here is an incredible mid-century modern home with a 4,600+-square-foot original floor plan including eight bedrooms and five baths.

I wasn't sure what to expect. Hundreds of wines, over a dozen wineries... from Arizona? I heard the lead singer of Tool has a vineyard near Jerome, but up until Saturday's event, I had little knowledge of Arizona wine culture beyond that. Man, was I off base. What went down was a fantastic affair on one of the most beautiful days of the year in one of Phoenix's prized locales, the Farm at South Mountain. What I realized is Arizona's wine culture is not only budding, but also experiencing a grassroots explosion of sorts. Yes, I tasted the 2008 Primer Paso from Verde Valley's Caduceus Cellars, made famous when a few rock journalists traveled to the Arizona high country to check out Tool's Maynard James Keenan's personal vineyard. Caduceus was one of the few wineries that had rock concert-style t-shirts for sale (I should have known), but the wine was the true star here. Blood red with citrus and pine notes, it was hefty, but went down surprisingly smooth. It paired well with the hummus I snacked on from the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. Up next, Elgin's Canelo Hills Vineyard 2007 Sangiovese. Wow, that's a mouthful. Good thing it tasted delicious. The host told me this stuff goes well with Italian fare. It made me want some Chicken Parmesan, so they're doing something right. It was bright and fruity, and much less intimidating than the previous taste. The other star of the show? Local favorite Su Vino Winery out of Old Town Scottsdale. Yeah, it's not so earthy there, but hey, these people make killer wines. The Ruby, the lone red at the table, was like sangria in a bottle, minus the floating fruit. Big, punchy bursts of fruity flavor in that sucker. And, though I usually don't care for white wine, the Summer Rain (which, luckily, is available at the Urban Grocery), really fit the description of tasting like "a day by the pool." It was like apple juice with an alcohol kick. Yes, it's that dangerous. Beware. As the pictures below attest, the event was masterfully organized, and the attendees really lucked out on the weather. What a perfect day to be outside enjoying a nice Gewurztraminer. Yes, I just said that.

Housing fresh produce and various delicacies from around the state, the market just makes this old Southern boy feel right at home. Now, it was suggested one day to try out the lunch specials. This seems strange, when in the course of my walk, I pass local favorites like the Turf, the Breadfruit, Sens and PastaBAR. I suppose it is the allure of someplace new, a place that is immediately special to me, that pushes me past this conglomerate of eateries. Scribbled on the chalkboard wall behind the counter is the list of the two specials the grocery has for the day. I select the tuna salad sandwich on honey wheat bread. OK, by now you are probably asking, "What’s the big deal? You are just ordering a normal sandwich that, if you weren’t lazy, you could make yourself." True. I could make this sandwich, and a tuna salad sandwich can be found elsewhere, but it has its own specialness about it. This is a downright delicious tuna salad. It is carefully put together and I just get the feeling like I’m at home while I eat it. It is the perfect blend of tuna and mayo dabbled with almond slices. The bread is fresh and seamless. Served on a bed of leafy greens, this is a lunchtime novelty to be reckoned with. I even complete the meal with a refreshing iced mocha from Royal at the Market (one of my vices). So, if you are on the lookout for a place to make you feel special and give you a nice little jump start, then the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar might just be your spot. To make it feel all the more home grown, tell them Sips and Grub sent you. The Urban Grocery and Wine Bar is located at 14 E. Pierce St. — light rail station at Central/Roosevelt.

Tempe, AZ Four-star rating 10.11.09 Seems that a lot of negative reviews of the Clarendon come from never having experienced all that is the Clarendon. I've been there on several occasions and never had a bad time. This past weekend was the first time I stayed there, and it was complimentary thanks to the gift certificates I received when I attended their Snow Ball New Years Eve party at the beginning of this year. First off, the decor should be enough to sweep you off your feet. The lobby is exquisite and I want that wall treatment in my next house. The rooms are well thought out and modern and stylish. When you first enter, the lights are on for you, and soothing instrumental music is playing from the alarm clock. That right there was enough to make me want to fall asleep. Then I made the mistake of laying on the bed. I have to revoke my claim that I have the worlds comfiest bed. This bed was so seductive that I went to bed at 10:30 that first Friday night. Yes you heard me. 10:30. Lights out for Tonia. I enjoyed having Gallo Blanco right in the same building as well as the rooftop bar, which made for a great Saturday night. When I left Sunday morning, for some reason my 2nd night was charged to my account, but Matthew, who was working the front desk carefully went through and corrected the situation for me. He was awesome. My only complaint about the Clarendon is that I'd love to see some cute glassware instead of the disposable cups in the rooms. Also, being that it's an old building, despite having four or five routers for guests, I was never able to get a wireless signal, and was told by the front desk they barely get one either. There should be some way to make that work. With reasonably priced, modern, comfortable-as-hell rooms and a staff that will sweep you off your feet, I'll definitely be back.

Phoenix's best cookie-maker, Urban Cookies (4711 N. 7th St.), is offering free logos on business holiday gifts ($6 value). So, if you get cookies for your business partners, that could be nice. The biggest discount of the bunch: Courtesy Chevrolet (1233 E. Camelback Rd.) is taking $750 off the manufacturer invoice. That's pretty enticing, if you like American cars.

Jared Dudley is the glue that holds the bench together. His hustle and effort on the defensive end, along with his overall passion for the game, pushes the second string as well as the starters to play hard and leave it all on the court every time out. Add in his lights-out three-point shooting and you’ve got yourself a difference maker. Goran Dragic isn’t far behind Dudley in what he brings to the table for this team. His vast improvement in play from a year ago gives the Suns something they’ve been lacking for years: a backup point guard. Dragic’s solid play has helped give Steve Nash plenty of rest, which explains why Nash’s minutes are at his lowest in over 10 years. Dragic has shown play-making ability and a nice touch from behind the arc. And, when the shot isn’t falling, Dragic still plays fantastic defensive night in and night out. Despite his minutes being down, Leandro Barbosa has continued to do what he does: hit open threes and get to the basket at will. Lou Amundson still provides the dirty work in the form of rebounds and blocked shots. Jarron Collins has stepped in nicely when needed, adding a little toughness in the paint, and Earl Clark has impressed when on the floor. With Robin Lopez coming back from injury (perhaps later this week), Suns fans will soon have more reason to be excited about this bench. 2. No more Shaq I didn’t really have a problem with Shaquille O’Neal while he was here, but it’s clear the impact he had on the team was a negative one. The team tried to run the offense through him, but that meant playing to the other players’ weaknesses. He clogged the paint and messed with the floor spacing on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he was so terrible with the pick and roll that opposing teams would kill us with it on a nightly basis. Shipping him out and bringing Channing Frye in to replace him has made a world of difference. The lane is once again open for Nash to operate and the Suns' spacing has them on a record pace for three pointers made this season. 1. Making Alvin Gentry head coach and resigning Steve Nash (I couldn’t choose just one of these) When Alvin Gentry took over the head coaching duties last year, we saw an entirely different Suns team from the one Terry Porter put on the floor every night. Gentry started playing the bench more, going 10-11 guys deep at times, while reintroducing us all the Phoenix Suns offense we had previously grown to love. This year, things have been much the same. Gentry has the Suns back on top in scoring average while getting the team to play with effort and energy on the defensive side of the ball. The bench continues to develop under Gentry, and the team chemistry appears to be at an all-time high since Steve Nash returned to Phoenix. Once Gentry was made head coach, the next logical step was to resign Steve Nash. Many people doubted whether or not this was the right move for both Nash and the Suns, but 15 games into the season, it’s clear it was. Nash’s numbers are just as good as they were in his two MVP seasons, with his assist numbers actually up while his minutes are down. What Nash gives Phoenix in the stat sheet is only half of what he offers, though. He gives the Suns' younger players someone to look up to and continues to provide great on-court leadership. When you add these three things together, Suns fans have lots to be thankful for this holiday season, and it’s no wonder why their team currently sits atop the NBA with a 12-3 record.

The multimedia presentation of research models was developed by university students in an urban design practice class taught by Nan Ellin, an associate professor and director of the planning program in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning in ASU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She also is an affiliate faculty member with ASU’s School of Sustainability. “In 2000, the Phoenix metropolitan area contained 42.6 percent vacant land, significantly higher than most American cities,” said Pei Zhai, a doctoral student in sustainability. “To address this vexing challenge, the office of the mayor requested that ASU students develop a model for the temporary use of publicly-owned vacant lots,” explained Ellin. “In response, students developed the Desert TULIP – Temporary Urban Laboratory Infill Project – a low-cost strategy to transform vacant lots until their development,” Ellin said. The students were asked to focus specifically on lots south of Garfield between 3rd and 6th Streets, an area designated to become part of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Undergraduate and graduate students, of various backgrounds and majors, searched worldwide for city vacant lot strategies, Ellin said. “In Phoenix, they spoke with citizens, community organizations, local businesses and city officials for input on the project. High-resolution 3-D models of Phoenix were employed to envision Desert TULIP projects; and a collaborative project constructing planter boxes was undertaken as a first step toward turning Phoenix’s vacant lots into urban amenities,” Ellin said. The multimedia presentation with results from the class research, including the introduction of the demonstration planter box project, will be followed by a panel discussion that includes representatives from the city of Phoenix, the Phoenix Community Alliance, and Roosevelt Row. The presentation is scheduled from 11 a.m. to noon in the Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory, located on the 8th floor of the Security Building, southwest corner of Van Buren Street and Central Avenue.

In case you haven't, here's the quick run-down: Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was in the guest hot seat in a Meet the Press-style panel interview by three of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication's heavy-hitter journalist-professors: Steve Elliott, Sue Green and Rick Rodriguez. The plan was to spend a solid hour questioning the Sheriff in the school's packed First Amendment Forum. Nothing was off limits: immigration, his relationship with the media and accusations of threats and harassment. That hour was cut short first by embarrasing mic troubles and Dean Chris Callahan's remarks at the beginning, asking the audience in essence to save questions for afterward and to not disturb the panel, regardless of how much they did or did not care for the Sheriff. But, the hour was really mutilated when (and here's the part you've been waiting for) a small group of idiots broke out into song. Lots of songs. Annoying songs. Songs so loud the panel was forced to discontinue and end the evening roughly 15 minutes early. Despite boos from the crowd and stern pleading from the Dean, they simply wouldn't shut up. And, of course, they were directed at Sheriff Joe. Here's the thing: Kids, in case your parents never taught you this or you were too bullheaded to learn it, there's a time and a place for everything. There was a peaceful and energetic protest (both pro- and anti-Arpaio) taking place in the building's lobby and on Taylor Mall. You could have joined that crowd and expressed your own First Amendment rights without stepping on the rights of everyone else in the forum who had come to hear the interview. Oh, and everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, even if it happens to be different than your own. That includes the Sheriff. And, it includes myself (a current Cronkite grad student) and every other ASU student in attendance last evening. (Due to the protests and space limitations, the school stationed police at the doors and only let in those with an ASU ID.) What's exceptionally frustrating is these singers had no idea what they were doing, what they were ruining and how counterproductive their little stunt was. They were interrupting a holding of account and questioning of a controversial public official. They ruined months of preparation and the chance for students to see a well-researched, pointed and tough interview. And, their singing really screwed up that possibility and actually defeated their own cause. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm refering to these singers as kids because their act was absurd and childish. And, after reading a tweet from @joshsprague, a Cronkite alum, I'm not going to give them the mantle of protestor, either. He tweeted, "'Protestors' is not an accurate term for the anti-Arpaio singers. Nothing was protested other than discussion." Sigh... As a journalism student, I had been looking forward to this evening. I know two of the professors well, having been in their classes and in fellowships directed by them. The chance to see my professors, who I've generally only seen in an editorial role, switch gears and become the investigative journalist, was what I really wanted to see. I'm sure I wasn't the only one, gauging by how many other journalism students were around. I could have cared less what controversial public official they interviewed; I was more interested in seeing masters working their craft. Anyone who does this type of in-depth interview, as the panel was well on their way to accomplishing Monday night, knows several things: one, the depth of research that goes into each and every possible question; two, the tact and control that must be wielded by the interviewer in order to get what he or she came for; and three, not starting off with your aha!, home-run questions. You build up to them. Which, to me, signifies these singers were most likely not journalism students. Rumors were circulating they might have been from the College of Public Programs or student activist groups. But, really, where they came from doesn't matter. The whole event looks terrible for the school and for ASU. Right before the planned singing started, the panel was building up to the home runs and perhaps even a few ahas. What a shame. Well, kiddos, hope you enjoyed your 15 moments in the spotlight. Idol and the rest of us are not at all interested in you.]]> 6085 0 0 0 1487 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/02/dpj-yelper-week-tracy-ritos/ Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:31:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6089 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Okay, so there is no surly Eastern European dude barking at you, but it does have the whole waiting in a long line, preparing ahead of time what you'll order, and leaving with a delicious meal feeling. Yes, this place is busy. Depending on when you go, there may be a line outside the building, and a tedious wait. But all of that is in comparison to the heartbreaking, taste-bud savoring meal you will have. I've had their infamous green chile burro and their just as famous (I think everything on the menu is famously good) bean burro. And, of course, both have been enchilada style. I can't even imagine not having their complexly flavored sauce smothered all over my burros. My next menu try? Well, they aren't even on the menu, but their tacos. I guess you just have to ask for them, and if they made them that day, you can claim it to be your lucky day. The portions are huge and the prices are small. A great business model, in my opinion! And, I'm sure one of the many reasons why people keep coming back to Rito's. I know I will be! Rito's Market and Mexican Take Out is located at 907 N. 14th St. in Garfield.

I was going to talk about the trade last year and how he performed then versus how he’s performed now. It was going to be good. Then the Suns played the New York Knicks and looked like the New York Knicks. OK, fine, one loss, no big deal. Last night, though, the Suns played the Cleveland Cavaliers and looked like the New Jersey Nets (at least in the first half; the second half actually had some positives — mostly the play of Goran Dragic). Needless to say, the Jason Richardson blog has been put on hiatus for the time being. About halfway through the Cavs game, I came up with the idea for this week’s blog. Below is the first rough draft I had written for this week about the Knicks game:

No defense... lack of hustle on the boards... ever heard of boxing out? Danilo Gallinari scored how many points?! The freaking Knicks?!!!! Under 100 points?!?!?!! Seriously?

Here's what I had for the Cavs game:

I hate Lebron James! Now Shaq gets those calls?! Grrrr!

After listening to City and Colour to calm myself down a bit, I decided to rethink my blog. I don’t want to be one of those negative Suns fans (and we’re going to start to hear from a lot of them now). All those chicken littles will show up talking about how we need to trade Amar’e or do this or do that or Robert Sarver is cheap or Steve Kerr is terrible, blah blah blah. Instead, I decided to put a positive spin on things. Here’s what I came up with. One, the Suns needed some adversity. All teams face it. The good ones overcome it. Now the Suns have their chance. It’s only a two-game losing streak. Phoenix is still sitting at 14-5, which is nothing to hang your head about, especially considering the expectations for this season. The important thing is how the Suns bounce back. Luckily, the Suns get that chance at home (Saturday against the Sacramento Kings), where they’ve been dominate, especially in the last three contests. Last year, Phoenix didn’t do too well with adversity — they weren’t able to bounce back. With Gentry at the helm this time around, I think things will be different. As long as the Suns just shake off these last two games and move on, all should be well in the Valley of the Suns. Two, we did get to see some positives in these two losses. In both games Goran Dragic never stopped fighting. He continued to be aggressive, even when his shot wasn’t falling and the game was well out of hand. He played his usual solid defense and when Knicks players looked to have some easy layups in the fourth quarter Tuesday night, Dragic wouldn’t have any part of it, committing good, hard, quality basketball fouls. Alando Tucker also shined in the fourth quarter of the Knicks blowout, scoring 14 points and getting to the charity stripe eight times. It was good to see Tucker come in and be aggressive. He could come in handy with Leandro Barbosa out two to four weeks with the ankle sprain. Three, well... I couldn’t think of a third one, but those first two are pretty solid, especially that adversity one. Let’s see how this Suns team handles it.]]> 6109 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/04/man-mural-roy-sprole-valley-youth-theater/ Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:01:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6116 Amidst the new construction, public art projects and restaurant openings throughout Downtown Phoenix, one local artist made a big impact with little more than a brush, some paint and a desire to create. Spanning across the 69- by 11-foot north wall of Valley Youth Theater’s corporate office is a new mural created by Roy Frank Sproule III, a 27-year-old avionics technician stationed at Luke Air Force Base.

[caption id="attachment_6117" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Photograph by Yuri Artibise"][/caption] Roy says he didn’t find the wall, rather the wall found him. It was during a June 2007 First Friday when he happened across the wall at 807 N. 3rd St., just south of Garfield Street (across the street from Bunky Boutique and the Roosevelt Tavern). While he had only assisted in painting large-scale murals, he was looking for an opportunity to create his own piece in a visible setting. “There are just some things you can’t do in small spaces,” he says. “Large images have a different effect on people.” When he came across the empty wall on the high-traffic street, Roy knew it was “just right” for a mural. He went home that night and spent the next six months putting together a portfolio. In December 2007, Roy returned to the building and knocked on the door. At the time, he didn’t even know who owned the building, just that it would be a great opportunity for him to establish himself as a muralist in Phoenix. After meeting with the Valley Youth Theater staff, he ended up talking with Producing Artistic Director Bobb Cooper. Bobb was enthusiastic about the idea, especially after learning that Roy would donate the project to help build his portfolio. Roy was given images of 20 years of Valley Youth Theater performances to work with. The photographs included images of the theater’s famous alumni, such as singer Jordin Sparks and actress Emma Stone, and popular children’s story characters like the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz. Using these pictures, he made a collage of over 50 photographs to fill the 759-square-foot wall. Once the Valley Youth Theater approved his design, Roy used perforated patterns created in Photoshop to aid him in outlining the shapes with charcoal dust (pounce), a technique used by Renaissance fresco painters. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="404" caption="Photograph by Jeffrey Lowman/azcentral.com"][/caption] He started to paint in March 2008 and donated immense amounts of his time and money to the project. Roy spent up to 40 hours a week of his free time at the site over 17 months. He often worked well into the evening, and to avoid the summer heat he pulled several all-nighters. This was all while working full time at Luke Air Force Base. In total, Roy estimates that he spent at least 2,000 hours of his personal time and $1,000 of his own savings purchasing brushes and 16+ gallons of industrial paint for the mural. Despite the fact that painting the mural basically equaled working another job for a year-and-a-half, Roy doesn't think it of as anything extraordinary. "People give 110% of themselves all the time,” reminds Roy, whether it be managing work and family, working two jobs to make ends meet or having a day job to pay the bills and an evening passion to feed the soul. In Roy’s case, his job with the Air Force provided him with the financial base and stability that enabled him to paint the mural. Roy believes there are two types of artists: those who create for themselves and those who create for the community. Murals should tell a story. While he views the Valley Youth Theater mural as more of a collage, his ultimate goal is to speak through his murals and to create compositions that tell a story. "If you are not saying anything, you are just decorating,” he says. To this end, Roy viewed his relationship with the theater as a partnership. In return for the opportunity to hone his skills, Roy wanted to help them. He was able to do this with the mural; it will help raise awareness of the theater and the professional level of productions they put on each season. Throughout the process, Roy progressed not only as an artist, but also as a community member. He formed long-lasting connections to both the places and people of Downtown Phoenix. After a being at the site for 17 months, sometimes for as long as 36 hours at a time, Roy gained a new appreciation for Downtown Phoenix. He saw the city core at its best and worst — vibrant sunsets and sunrises; hot summer evenings and crisp winter mornings; the desolation of quiet Sundays and the frantic energy of First Fridays. Seeing Phoenix from these different perspectives helped him think about the colors and techniques he used differently. Moreover, Roy was able to meet and become friends with many of the local residents and business owners as he painted. While Roy has always liked being in Downtown Phoenix, his experience with the mural made it feel like home. He enjoys the welcoming, inclusive nature of the artists and gallery owners in the neighborhood. He says, “Roosevelt Row is like family to me,” noting that he met and became friends with more people in the year-and-a-half he spent painting the mural than the 13 years he spent growing up in his hometown. In addition, Roy feels that Downtown Phoenix provided him with a lot of opportunity, which has allowed him to develop naturally as an artist. He is not forced to chase opportunities and choose things that aren’t a good fit, as in other cities. “You can be an artist anywhere,” says Roy, but there is something special about Downtown Phoenix. “Being here makes a world of difference.” Roy is looking for another opportunity to paint a large-scale mural. His dream is to paint the largest mural in the city, preferably on a high rise. Given his talent and determination, there is no doubt it will happen one day. The Valley Youth Theater is located at 525 N. 1st St. in Evans Churchill, a few blocks from the corporate office where the mural is displayed.

So, what is Fractal? It's a space and an idea formed by a collection of community-minded organizations — communitasPHX, Dojo Collective and MethodLab Media. There is no denying that Downtown Phoenix has long needed a space for co-working, collaboration, idea sharing, workshopping and presentation. Fractal aims to be that place. It's positioning itself as "a home for the socially responsible creative class," and we like the sound of that. In recent months, the Bragg's Pie building has welcomed a diverse number of tenants — Sapna Café and Modern Cat among them — and Fractal will be a complementary piece to its jigsaw-like layout. [caption id="attachment_6143" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="The space inside Bragg's Pie will allow for diverse presentation."][/caption] The preview event, running during the traditional 6-10 First Friday hours, is meant to raise awareness about the space and display the work of several prominent designers and artists from Phoenix, including Megan Wright, Chad Knapp, Tyson Crosbie, Mark Dudlik, Andrew Coppola, Jason Ayers, Jamie Martin, Jenny Messerly and more. As an added bonus, networking group Phoenix Friday Night will host its Downtown Friday Night (@downtownfn or #DTFN on Twitter) get-together at Fractal as well, which always guarantees good socializing, Downtown exploration and more than a few laughs. As if that doesn't sound totally rad already, it's BYOB, so... it'll be a really good time. To RSVP, hit up the Facebook. If you're interested in contributing to Fractal, click here.

Despite mainstays like Lux and Conspire, this year we've seen a bevvy of new coffee locales: Fair Trade Café's second location in Civic Space Park, Royal at the Market's arrival in the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar, Lola Coffee's instant success in a booming Uptown strip center and Urban Beans' laid-back vibe on 7th Street. There's only a few weeks left in the year, but we may have three brand new places to get our first coffee of 2010 if opening dates hold up. Cartel, the reigning king of independent coffeehouses in Tempe, is opening a location across the street from the CityScape site. The space, which was once another coffeehouse (Hot Shotz), opens in mid-December, and is bringing the infamous Clover espresso machine from the other location along for the ride. UPDATE: Cartel is officially open at 1 N. 1st St. as of 12.08.09. [caption id="attachment_6152" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The Link building will soon host Giant Coffee"][/caption] Matt Pool's notoriously delayed but very much anticipated Giant Coffee seems just about ready to open, but we're not quite sure he has the menu down just yet. Preview events of the space have yielded positive reviews, and Pool's latest projection has the space inside the Link building (home to [merz]project) opening sometime before Christmas. Then there's the second outpost of Lola Coffee (the first has barely been open six months) in the historic Gold Spot Building. After Calabria deli unexpectedly closed up this summer, it seemed the Gold Spot was a doomed locale. Now that Lola and Pita Jungle have both started the move-in process, this could be the most happenin' corner in Roosevelt. Since it's the closest java place to Fort DPJ, expect to see me there often. Probably too often. Details on an opening date are mum, but there are whispers of a late December opening. UPDATE: Lola Coffee is open at 1001 N. 3rd Ave. as of 12.18.09. So, my New Years resolution is to drink more local coffee.

Guests were greeted at the new Cultural Center, located at 147 E. Adams St. (light rail station at Central/Washington), with a mariachi band serenading them outside the main doors. The center was adorned with the work of local Hispanic artists, from newcomers in the Phoenix arts scene to seasoned, well-known artists. Mayor Phil Gordon was on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, along with District 7 Councilman Michael Nowakowski, District 8 Councilman Michael Johnson and Phoenix Deputy City Manager Ruth Osuna, who, according to the mayor, has played an integral part in the center's opening. Nowakowski, a lifelong resident of Phoenix, said he is proud of those who assisted in the opening of the center and loves the location already. “This is truly a miracle. This is where we’re supposed to share our culture with everyone,” Nowakowski said. Supporters of the center say the modest location is temporary, and believe with more support and contributions from the community it will move to a bigger location. “We are campaigning for a larger facility; this is not the end,” said Ruben Hernandez, a spokesman for the arts coalition that created the center. Hernandez said he spoke of the cultural center's impending existence over five years ago, but it was not until a little over two years ago that tangible plans began to come together. Hernandez said they received help and encouragement from the city of Phoenix, the Phoenix Art Museum and many others in the non-Latino community. “They all stepped up to offer support,” Hernandez said. The center was filled to the brim on Friday with supporters from all across the Valley and from many different communities. “This should have been done 25 years ago,” local artist Luis Mana said. Mana has been creating art in the Valley for over 30 years, and believes the Cultural Center will be a wonderful place for young, up-and-coming Hispanic artists to showcase their work. The Cultural Center, which was created by the Advocates for Latin@ Art & Culture Consortium, will feature art, dance, theatre and music, and will be open and welcome to all, said ErLinda Tórres, President of the ALAC Board of Directors.

Please enjoy a wonderful piece on ASU's role in the development of Downtown Phoenix written by Beth Wischnia. I'll be back next week with some fresh work. — Sam The once-lifeless capital city of Arizona has taken on a new look and feel recently, complete with a bustling Arizona State University campus in the heart of Downtown. The influx of students on ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus has directly affected the development of Phoenix. The campus includes nationally recognized schools such as the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the College of Nursing and Health Innovation. The campus opened in fall 2006, however it was when the Cronkite School opened in fall 2008 that many more students relocated to Phoenix. Paul Martinez, manager of local restaurant Hanny’s, said the Downtown Phoenix campus has brought multiple businesses to the community because of the “youth’s energy.” A Starbucks is in operation on the first floor of Taylor Place and Hsin, a Chinese restaurant, is expected to open in Taylor Place in the near future. Other recent additions to the Downtown Phoenix area include Fair Trade Café and the Phoenix Public Market Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. Arianna Heet, a sophomore nursing major, has been working at Starbucks in Taylor Place for more than a year. The job sparked her interest because of the “convenience factor”, which allowed her to wake up and walk downstairs to work. In addition to the convenience factor, Heet said she enjoys the atmosphere of the student-friendly on-campus Starbucks as opposed to off-campus locations. “We have a different dynamic,” Heet said. “We have a strong student-based business.” Armark, the company that manages the various dining options in Taylor Place, owns the location in Taylor Place, unlike most Starbucks. Heet said the location she works at is a licensed store and not a corporate store. The Taylor Place baristas are employed by Armark and simply buy their product from Starbucks. “It’s essentially the same business, but run by another company,” Heet explained. Hanny’s, an Italian-inspired restaurant located just a few blocks away from the Downtown Phoenix campus, draws in customers by combining great food and service with a “historic piece of property,” Martinez said. The building that is now home to Hanny’s was built in 1947 and underwent a restoration process that took three years. In addition to the unique building’s historical significance, the location is ideal, as it is located adjacent next to the area’s developmental milestone, the light rail. “The light rail and us were opening about a month apart,” Martinez explained. “It was exciting to have that advancement next to that historic piece of property.” Lenni Rosenblum, a sophomore journalism student, lives at Taylor Place because she was elected into a leadership position in a residential program. Rosenblum has been living at Taylor Place since the building opened in fall 2008 because of its convenient location. While she enjoys living Phoenix because of what it has to offer, she recognizes there is room for improvement in the development of the area. Despite some new development in Phoenix, many students who lived at Taylor Place last year chose to live in Tempe this year. Sophomore communications major Amy Gauvin said that part of the reason she no longer lives in Downtown Phoenix is because of the lack of city development in comparison to Tempe. “After class you can walk to Mill and go shopping, or you can go to Barney’s and get food and go to happy hour. Downtown Phoenix doesn’t offer any of that,” Gauvin said. “I would literally go to class then go back to my dorm until my next class.” City of Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon addressed the effect the students have had on the Phoenix community during his State of Downtown address on Nov. 17, 2009 in the city’s new Civic Space park, which was built by a partnership between the city of Phoenix and ASU. “I want to highlight the steady heartbeat of Arizona State University, which continues to pump life into Downtown Phoenix, continues to generate revenue to the state,” Gordon said, “and continues to do what universities are supposed to do: educate our residents and prepare them to change the world for the better.” “ASU has brought that fun, youthful life back to Downtown that we didn’t have before,” Martinez said. “We are trying to help pioneer the movement of revitalizing Downtown by taking a local business owner, restoring a building and giving people a place to congregate.” Samuel Richard, a senior nonprofit leadership and management student, calls himself a “defacto community activist” in Downtown Phoenix. Richard lives and works in the community. He also was part of the team that reimagined the Downtown Phoenix Journal in January of 2009 and is a weekly contributor. He is optimistic about the future of Phoenix because he said that community development takes time. “Our civic and business leaders have showed a renewed interest in developing the heart of our city,” Richard said. “Thankfully, ASU has been able to play a large part of this renaissance.” “The area is now seen as a stable, desirable place for the community to be,” Panetta explained. “It’s more attractive for those who might want to live in the area or open a business.” Also pioneering the revitalization of Downtown Phoenix is CityScape, a multi-use destination blocks away from the Downtown Phoenix campus that will feature retail, restaurants and entertainment. The complex will feature The Breakfast Club, a taqueria bar, Lucky Strike Lanes and an Urban Outfitters, to name a few. John Matthews, senior leasing associate of RED Development for CityScape, attributes snagging the prime, central location to being at the right place at the right time. “After reviewing what the city and state had done with getting the ASU campus Downtown, the time seemed to be right,” Matthews said. “Rarely do you get three blocks in the center of a downtown that are available to develop.” Matthews said the students on the Downtown Phoenix campus were like a “built-in population”, which is an additional reason CityScape is in Phoenix. “It’s a huge benefit being near a university campus,” Matthews said. “That, and the diversity downtown has to offer.” Panetta said the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus acts as a “catalyst for development” in an area that was previously underutilized. He explained such a high concentration of students in a relatively compact area creates an economic effect on the community. Panetta said the indirect impact students have had far exceeds the direct impact. “The area is now seen as a stable, desirable place for the community to be,” Panetta explained. “It’s more attractive for those who might want to live in the area or open a business.” “With an increase in the student population comes an increase in the number of students who will locally rent apartments, go out to dinner and attend local entertainment events, for example,” Rosenblum said Gordon and Martinez said that ASU’s existence Downtown has helped the city appeal to potential Phoenicians who are looking for an enriching environment to live in. “We have seen a huge surge of people interested in the Downtown area whose businesses were once solely located in the Scottsdale area,” Martinez said. “They’re starting to branch our because they see more people focusing on Downtown.” “It’s [ASU] attracted…businesses, restaurants and galleries,” Mayor Gordon said. “ASU has been in Tempe since 1885, and in Downtown Phoenix since 2006,” Richard explained. “If the community at-large can gain a little perspective and patience, our future will be brighter.” Martinez said that with increased student population comes increased activity in various businesses located in the area. “Anytime that you bring in the youth and that kind of energy, especially in large amounts, businesses tend to flourish as they strive to provide for the youth,” Martinez explained. “ASU brought dollars and young energy to support and help the Downtown area grow.” Arizona State University has “long-range plans” in place to accommodate the projected student growth rate at each campus. Panetta said plans include retail opportunities and more student housing, adding there has been a strong trend for convenient food spots on and near campus. “Additional retail opportunities will likely emerge in the campus and neighborhood, as well as office and residential projects that will desire proximity to the Downtown campus and the energy and activity it generates as well as the market stability it can help foster,” Panetta said. Richard said it is a combination of multiple sources that creates a successful Downtown area. Additionally, all major development takes time. ASU President Michael Crow spoke about the Downtown Phoenix campus during a forum held on Dec. 1, 2009. Crow explained how the city of Phoenix and ASU Downtown have an ideal partnership. “The Downtown campus is a perfect example of a university and a city with objectives that overlapped with each other,” Crow said. “The city was looking for enterprise and we were looking to expand from the Tempe campus.” Crow added that there are plans for expanding the Downtown campus’ programs and facilities because it has proved to be a successful campus so far. Additional future plans include moving the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Downtown, building a third residence hall and creating more retail space. “We’re at the end of phase one,” Crow said. “We need to finish our planning for phase two.” Contact Beth at beth.wischnia@asu.edu.]]> 6161 0 0 0 1516 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/09/sheriff-joe-saga-theater/ Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:58:57 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6165 With so many things to do in Downtown Phoenix on First Friday, how do you decide what to do and where to go? Well, with First Friday opening of a play titled "American Pastorela: The Saga of Sheriff Joe," I knew I'd be in for some good, controversial fun. Walking to the Third Street Theater, where New Carpa Theater Company put on the production, there was a chill in the air and plenty of people in the streets. Outside the theater abuzz with several  Sheriff Joe protesters  as people filed in to warm up and see the show. James E. Garcia, the writer and director of the play, was at the door to greet people and visit with the community. He graciously welcomed us and sent us on our way in to the theater, which was humming with enthusiastic patrons. The lights dim and the curtain rises. The first scene portrays Sheriff Joe, played by James Rivas, being interviewed by the press about his tactics for keeping illegal aliens out of Arizona. This scene touches heavily on Sheriff Joe and his past history with the Phoenix New Times. Suddenly, while being interviewed, the Sheriff suffers a heart attack and dies. From there the play progresses into several quirky scenes that mix Phoenix history, Latino culture and religion. The play follows the character Bartolo, played by John Tang, who is a messenger of God. Bartolo has been sent on a journey to bring a family from Mexico to Arizona. He misunderstands and finds the wrong family, but decides to bring them with him anyway. One of the family member's souls happens to be owned by El Diablo, who of course is keeping track of the progress as well. Meanwhile, Sheriff Joe is given a chance to live by El Diablo, but only if he is able to stop Bartolo from completing his task. Along the way, there are appearances by an angel, Billy Mays, Saddam Hussein, Hitler and even Michael Jackson. Wacky. Sound a little confusing? Maybe odd? There are many pecuilar twists and turns that make this a very fun and interesting play. You must see this play for yourself to get the full experience! The good news is that it is playing from now until December 13 at the Third Street Theater. This play will make you laugh out loud and see a sometimes-touchy subject brought to light in the most unique manner. For show times and pricing, visit New Carpa Theater Company's website, or call 623.252.2772. The Third Street Theater is located at 1202 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail station at Central/Roosevelt).]]> 6165 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/08/sips-grub-burger-maizies/ Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:46:12 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6168 Maizie’s. Tucked away in the shadow of the Landmark Tower resides Maizie’s Café & Bistro, a unique bistro that knows how to attract the hungry — offer their delicious burgers for $3 from 4 to close on Mondays. I had heard that these were pretty amazingly good. I must admit that the line coming out of the door and the smell emanating from this place surely comforted any trepidation I had about the burgers. [gallery columns="2"] I suppose the chaotic weather kept the crowds a little smaller than they normally are. Hearsay was that the wait would be quite extensive, but we were seated fairly quickly. The wait staff obviously holds the ability to read minds; or they have just served up their fair share of burgers on Monday nights, because the waitress only needed to ask what was required on the burger. So, I selected the pepperjack cheese and a cold Blue Moon to wash it down. As I was awaiting my cheap treat, I noticed the dining area was extremely packed. It seems that the extensive patio that Maizie’s possesses falls silent on nights of inclement weather. Good thing this is Arizona and rain is about as frequent as a viable Elvis sighting. The wait for the burger was not too long. As it arrived in its splendor, I almost expected an angelic chorus to erupt. For $3, I was expecting a Krystal (or White Castle, for you Midwestern folk)-sized burger, but I was pleasantly surprised. I could hardly wait to sink my teeth in. Each bite was better than the first. Any form of ravenous hunger I had owned before this was wiped away. This burger was top-shelf quality with a shoestring budget price. So, if you find yourself scraping the bottom of the piggy bank on some lonely Monday night, forget about the fast food malarkey and go to Maizie’s. You will definitely get more than you bargained for. Maizie's Café and Bistro is located at 4750 N. Central Ave. in Uptown (light rail station at Central/Camelback). 602.274.2828]]> 6168 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/08/dpj-yelper-week-chris-macalpines/ Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:07:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6175 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

So many ventures have come and gone on the corner that even the real estate boom of the early 2000s couldn’t lift it out of its hole. But, things are turning around. [caption id="attachment_6209" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The old Emerald Lounge building now houses SideBar, Starbucks and Pei Wei."][/caption] Whether or not you’re ready to admit it, the corner is quietly becoming an important gateway to Downtown from Midtown neighborhoods and points west. Those invested in the corner couldn’t agree more. “There are great neighborhoods around it — they’re diverse; they’ve been here forever,” says Josh Parry, co-owner of SideBar, which just celebrated its first anniversary. “We’ve got walk-up traffic and a really diverse group of people. This corner has amazing potential. It’s got everything going for it, but it’s just been ignored by everyone for so long.” Mike Hogarty, a partner at Desert Viking, the development company rehabbing the southeast corner of the intersection, concurs. “It’s the four corners of the historic neighborhoods (Willo, F.Q. Story, Roosevelt and Encanto-Palmcroft),” Hogarty says. “It’s always been a good corner; it’s just been poorly served recently, and it’s time to change that.” [caption id="attachment_6210" align="alignright" width="300" caption="When renovated, this building will be divided into seven different retail suites."][/caption] Hogarty and his team are currently finishing up plans to completely renovate the property. The old storefront has been a mess for decades now, but he envisions hustle and bustle not too far in the future. “We think that corner would respond well to some high-volume, high-impact restaurants matched with quality retail and neighborhood services,” he says. “The key is making it a meaningful and better-balanced location.” The building will be divided up into seven suites, the front area will be landscaped, an outdoor dining area will be added and parking lot improvements will be made. It will look like an entirely different corner when completed. Hogarty stresses that Desert Viking isn’t specifically looking for national chains or mom-and-pop places — they’re simply looking for the best fit for the building. Smashburger, a Denver-based burger concept set to rapidly expand around the Valley, will be occupying part of the space, though representatives say they won’t start work on the unit until at least September 2010. The rest of the space hasn’t been announced at the time of writing. [caption id="attachment_6193" align="alignleft" width="350" caption="SideBar's modern lounge vibe is a far cry from what the space looked like when Josh Parry and his business partner took it over."][/caption] Parry, meanwhile, isn’t surprised at the attention the corner is receiving. Though he’s a native of Phoenix, he spent a chunk of his life in LA. He and his business partner, who owns two successful bars in LA, wanted to open a bar in Phoenix for years. But, even he wasn’t prepared for the difficulty they would face trying to open SideBar. “The concept that we had was, let’s go find an existing bar, a dive or lounge on its last legs, spruce it up and turn it into a really cool urban lounge,” Parry recalls. “That was the dream from the get-go. “I found like, eight different liquor licenses in Downtown,” he continues. “For what we wanted to do, there’s really only two places that it could work: Downtown and Scottsdale. I wanted Downtown because I like the diversity and character that people here bring.” Parry was always interested in the property on the southwest corner of 7th Avenue and McDowell, though not the space he ended up in. But, the big, bad corporations won out in the end. “I knew this building was where I wanted to be; this was my first choice,” Parry says. “I didn’t think I was going to be upstairs; I thought I was getting [the former] Emerald Lounge downstairs. We didn’t know Pei Wei and Starbucks had already taken over the whole Emerald Lounge space. So, I asked what was upstairs.” Parry goes on to list the plethora of previous uses for the upstairs space: an art studio at one point, a ballet studio at another, a photography studio for a while and even a space for housing A/C equipment for sale. “I sent my business partner pictures of the building,” Parry remembers. “It was as derelict as a building could be. But, the dream was there.” If Parry and his partner wanted the space — despite not knowing if they could even transfer the liquor license — they had to pour tons of money into the building for necessary changes before Pei Wei moved in underneath. It’s this conundrum that faces Parry and the surrounding neighborhoods: How to fit unique, local businesses that will thrive in the area with the inevitable influx of chains. Despite admitting that anything that moves onto the corner is good for his business, Parry can’t help but root for local business. “What’s moving onto this corner is chains, from what I hear,” he says. “I would rather see upscale mom-and-pops, but it’s hard in Phoenix. Phoenix is not a seven-day town. It’s not people’s fault; we’re a real 9-to-5 town. But, I’ve made a point to make SideBar seven days [a week] till 2 a.m.” When SideBar was looking at the site on this corner, My Florist Café, on the northeast corner, was quietly scraping along, thanks to a lunch crowd that was desperate for spots along McDowell. My Florist has since fostered a strong happy hour crowd and a growing weekend brunch business. The western end of the My Florist building, which butts up to the corner, will eventually house much more retail. Pita Jungle looked long and hard at the space before deciding to move into the Gold Spot building on 3rd Avenue and Roosevelt Street. Revolver Records also considered it before settling on its new Roosevelt Street digs. It seems the price of heavy McDowell traffic may be ruling out local businesses. Parry has toyed with the idea of opening another concept, and he wouldn’t think twice about putting it on the same corner. The difficulty is simply finding the means to move forward with it. Yet, despite all the hardships of opening in a dumpy economic period, he remains happy about the progress. “We’ve done very little PR on our own, yet we have this amazing buzz going,” he says. “People know us even if they’ve never been here. That’s weird for a little bar on the end of Downtown. Amazing.” SideBar is located at 1514 N. 7th Ave. — 602.254.1646. My Florist Café is located at 534 W. McDowell Rd. — 602.254.0333.]]> 6191 0 0 0 1531 http://www.GoClarendon.com 0 0 1534 http://www.desertvikingcompanies.com 1531 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/09/asu-job-creation-phoenix/ Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:25:17 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6195 from ASU: ASU’s College of Public Programs will host a community forum to discuss job creation in the metropolitan Phoenix area from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at the A.E.

Keep a positive vibe, if you will. So, with that said, we're going to go ahead and brush over last week's games and focus on one of the great Suns events coming up. Next Tuesday, December 15, the Phoenix Suns will be hosting their second annual @Phoenix Suns Tweet-Up, presented by Arizona Grand Resort (@ArizonaGrand) as they face the heavily hated San Antonio Spurs at US Airways Center. The event is put together for the many Suns fans that follow the team on Twitter, and the evening will be filled with many special, exclusive activities for Tweet-Up attendees. So, what's a Tweet-Up? Jeramie McPeek, the Suns' webmaster, fills us in. "A 'tweet-up' is just a social gathering of people on Twitter," McPeek says. "There are all different types of tweet-ups happening around the country, but our tweet-ups are held on a Suns game night, and give our followers a chance to attend a game at a discounted ticket price, and sit with fellow tweeps. We also try to come up with some unique perks for these events, because we want our followers to feel special. They are serious, hardcore, passionate Suns fans who are tweeting about us on a daily basis, so we want them to really have a fun experience." But, what if you don't use Twitter, or you do, but just don't follow the Suns? McPeek thinks any Suns fan should be a follower. "Through our primary account, @PhoenixSuns, we tweet breaking news, behind-the-scenes stories, pictures or videos from practices and events, quotes from the locker room and courtside observations from games," McPeek says. "We also provide a lot of information about fan events or promotions, and are regularly giving away tickets or merchandise to our Twitter followers. And, of course, we’re also interacting with our fans." At the Tweet-Up, tweeps will be granted early access inside US Airways Center (@SunsCrib) to watch Suns players warm up before the game. Fans will also be able to purchase discounted concessions during the pregame “Twitter Tailgate,” as well as receive a free Suns Tweet-Up shirt, only available to those fans that purchase tickets to the event, and have group seating with their fellow Twitter users. During the game fans will be able to have their tweets shown on the big screen inside the arena as well as on the live game broadcast on FSN Arizona (@FoxSportsAZ). Anyone who currently follows the Suns on Twitter might be thinking, So what, the Suns post tweets during every home game? While that is true, fans that send in their tweets during the Tweet-Up will have a chance to win prizes for best Twitpic (picture via tweet), and who doesn’t love winning prizes? Want some tips on how to win prizes for best Twitpic? Go all out. Wear some face paint. Do your face up half orange and half purple. Wigs are a nice touch as well. We’re playing the freakin’ Spurs, so it shouldn’t be hard for you to get up for this game and show everyone that you’re ORNG. Get a stuffed animal coyote, tie a rope around it’s neck and drag it around the Purple Palace. I’m pretty sure if you do any of those things and Twitpic them, your chances at winning a prize will be greatly increased. The fun doesn’t stop at the end of 48 minutes, though. After the game, Suns tweeps attending the event will be invited to an exclusive question-and-answer session with All-Star forward Amar’e Stoudemire (@Amareisreal). Tweet-Up ticket packages are available in the lower level for $64 — fans can save over $60, according to McPeek — and the upper level for $32 and can be purchased at Suns.com by using the password “tweeps.” The Suns are also planning Facebook and PlanetOrange.net nights for later in the season. Suns fans attending the Tweet-Up are highly encouraged to attend US Airways Center via the METRO light rail through the Ride Rail Event program, which allows fans attending a game to use their game ticket as light rail fare four hours prior to tip-off through the end of the transit day.]]> 6197 0 0 0 1521 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/10/jimmy-eat-world-not-secret-show/ Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:10:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6198 He said: ‘I am but one small instrument.’ Do you remember that? As Jim Adkins rifled these melodic words into the crowded Arizona night, I realized that history was in the making. What that history is exactly remains to be seen. The creaky floorboards of Modified Arts trembled in the wake of a rock that has become all too familiar. The lyrics were shouted back with fervor and angst that seemed to settle in the room’s thick air. This was the place to be, Phoenix. For a "secret" show, it sure was let out of the bag. As Jimmy Eat World had tweeted earlier in the day, “If you live in PHX and have plans for tonight, cancel them.” This seemed like a fair warning at the time. Jeff Bufano of Reubens Accomplice, the supposed headliner before the news broke, crowed, “[You must] have that Twitter thing on your phones or something.” Perhaps that is the truth, as the masses started assembling as early as 3 p.m. for a 7 p.m. start. Who says Twitter isn’t powerful? [caption id="attachment_6200" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The crowd waiting to try to get into the show"][/caption] Upon arriving at around 6:10, the line wrapped entirely around the place; to the point that it began to wind back up to the front entrance. It didn’t seem long until the cry was let out that it was sold out and the lines weren’t getting in. “Extremely limited space” is not a joke. The lineup for the night included Ian Stupar of El Oso Negro, Source Victoria and Reubens Accomplice. For the most part, the opening bands were making way for the much-anticipated headliners to take the stage. Stupar opened it up with a few original songs and finished up a mellow set with covers of Reubens and JEW songs, respectively. Source Victoria took the stage with melodic guitars and harmonic vocals to tame the room. “You guys are here for Reubens, right?” was the joke of the night from our openers. Once Reubens Accomplice took the stage, you could feel the room on the edge of its seat. Reubens threw some eagerly anticipated songs at us. As far as their several-years-in-the-making album, Bufano joked, “We’ll release it in four years. But, it will have 176 tracks and you guys will be blown away.” [caption id="attachment_6201" align="alignright" width="300" caption="To say it was a sell-out is an understatement."][/caption] By the time Jim Adkins and crew took the stage, the eagerness was dripping off the walls. There was definitely something special about this “secret” show. You could feel it in the room. Even though I did not have the privilege of growing up here, this concert felt like it was drumming up the spirits of 10 years ago. Everything was perfect in that regard. From Adkins beckoning Sam Means (The Format) to the stage in jest, to the strained voices in the back crying out for “one more song” or to “play all night,” this night belonged to the fans, the bands and this city. “Bleed American” began the shouted refrains and huddled, rhythmic masses in their dance with the night. Once “Goodbye Sky Harbor” echoed in the room, you could feel the excitement that this city has, not just for its most notable band, but for its music scene. I can still feel the guitar riffs pumping through my veins. I imagine that I will for days. If you were not one of the privileged to get inside the doors, I feel that an important message was passed down. Adkins, at the chanting for an encore, returned to the stage. He said something that I think all of Phoenix needs to hear: “If you love the arts and the music, support them. Go to the shows. Support the bands.” This seems simple enough, but it is something that we as a community need to do perhaps now more than ever. We need to coddle these young, talented musicians and venues and treat them like the treasure they are. So, the big “secret” show wasn’t about how popular Jimmy Eat World is in this place, but more about how much these little places, artists and stages mean to our community. Modified Arts' final three shows of the Kimber Lanning era are tonight, Friday and Saturday.

Valley Forward is a nonprofit public interest organization that brings business and civic leaders together to discuss important regional issues and promotes cooperative efforts to improve the environment and livability of Valley communities. With over 400 members and counting, Valley Forward is composed of some of Arizona's largest employers and some of its smallest businesses. Its members represent a range of interests, including industrial and manufacturing sectors, municipalities and governmental agencies, educators, nonprofit organizations and Valley citizens. During the luncheon, Roger Baele of engineering firm David Evans and Associates and Laurel Kimball of Phoenix Philanthropy Group were honored with Valley Forward’s 2009 Leadership Awards for their outstanding contributions to the organization and community over the past year. In addition, the 2010 board of directors was elected, and Jay Hick from EDAW/AECOMM was named as Chair-Elect for 2010 Chair for the Valley Leadership Association. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="183" caption="Ricahrd Louv"][/caption] The keynote speaker at the luncheon was Richard Louv, a futurist and journalist focusing on nature, family and community. Louv chairs the Children & Nature Network, an organization helping to build an international movement to connect children with nature. He coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” in his national bestseller Last Child in the Woods to describe what happens to young people who become disconnected from their natural world. Louv was a fitting speaker for the 40th anniversary of Valley Forward, as his message complements the Valley Forward's long-running advocacy of land use and open space planning, desert preservation, parks, trails and connections with the natural environment and received the 2008 Audubon Medal for his work. During his address, Louv identified a clear link between the lack of nature in children’s lives to some of disturbing childhood trends, such as rises in obesity, attention disorders and depression. He then discussed some simple ways to heal the broken bond between children and nature, emphasizing the positive impact unstructured play outdoors has on healthy child development, and offered some practical suggestions for parents, teachers, urban planners and kids at heart. The Valley Forward Association offices are located at 3800 N. Central Ave., Suite 220 in Midtown. The association can be reached at 602.240.2408 or info@valleyforward.org. Valley Forward can also be followed on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

Add that to the nation's largest self-guided art walk, an ever-burgeoning music scene that this writer believes is far from "ovah," a theatrical subculture that is anything but boring, and what do you get? An amazing place to call home. And, in the spirit of continually making home even more amazing, I suggest to you that supporting local artistic endeavors should be at the top of your holiday shopping list. My wife and I have made a commitment to support some amazing local artists — not only pumping a little cash flow into the Phoenix art community, but also showcasing some of the fantastic talent we have in the Valley. In our home we have work from local artists Pete Deise, Tyson Crosbie, Hoge Day, Colton Brock, Randall Wilson and Pirate Vereker, with hopes of collecting work from dozens of other luminaries in the Valley. Engaging with art is an experience that you can have more than every First Friday, and it isn't all that intimidating to start collecting. Find something you like, and buy it. Voila! You're an art collector. If you're looking for a community of other collectors, check out the Monte Vista Club at the Heard Museum or the Young Collectors group at the Phoenix Art Museum. I understand that there is a good chance that I'm preaching to the choir here, since all seven of you reading this are most likely already aboard this thought train. But, if you aren't, come join in the fun. We have a vibrant art scene — no matter what medium floats your proverbial boat.

Then, the treats. Dexter loves the training treats! We practice his tricks from school (PetSmart puppy class) every night and he devours the different treats. His favorite? Peanut butter! They had some star-shaped peanut butter treats and even a mini peanut butter pie, which he got a slice of. Toys? Tons! Dexter needs squeakers. Got him some long-ass, strange-looking pink dog that squeaks near its tail. Bought it just days ago and the dang thing already got decapitated. There is white fluff all over my living room.

I’m always game for finding new places. When a buddy and I walked up to Copper Star, I could tell this was my kind of coffee shop. Decorated with eclectic trinkets and art, pumping indie rock and hosting a warm, inviting lounge area, this place had it going. I was instantly reminded of my favorite place to go during college. Ah, memories, nostalgia and such. I was parched, so I needed something refreshing to wet my whistle. Naturally, I ordered an old standby, Strawberry Italian Soda. If you had happened upon me during my college years, all bets were on me holding one of these icy, sparkling beverages. I don't like to brag, but that might just make me a connoisseur of this type of beverage. I dive in, and it is just like I remember. I’m pretty sure I teared up from sheer excitement. Each refreshing gulp was creamy and delicious, with just the right amount of fizz. The first couple of sips were reminiscent of eating a carbonated strawberry — or, at least I imagine that’s what it’s like. So, readers and patrons of Downtown Phoenix, I implore you to check out the Melrose area. Do some shopping; get your dog and car washed; whatever your fancy.

Yes, it’s a rather large hunk of steel shipping containers stitched together. Yes, it is a working, functional home. And yes, people can live in these things. [caption id="attachment_6273" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The shipping containers can be pieced together seamlessly. "][/caption] “Our whole mantra is ‘affordable, conscious living,’” says Upcycle Living partner Ashton Wolfswinkel. The Chandler native and his Tucson counterpart, homebuilder Jason Anderson, met at University of Arizona and later began collaborating when Anderson moved to the Valley. When Anderson arrived, he started working on a design-build project for a client in North Phoenix in spring 2009. Having spent time in Europe, where “upcycled” architecture is more commonplace, Anderson had a few ideas up his sleeve. “The client wanted to do a master suite addition, but he just didn’t have the budget to do it,” Wolfswinkel recalls. “So, Jason pitched the idea of using shipping containers. We attached three containers to the main house — bedroom, his-and-her closet and bath — about 1,000 square feet of living space.” Wolfswinkel was never skeptical of Anderson’s idea to use upcycled materials. “He pitched me the idea, and I sat on it for a couple of days, then said, how do we do it? Let’s go.” Wolfswinkel’s background is in property management and real estate development. After unsuccessfully trying to “green” his father’s mobile home business, he was itching for something new and exciting. Modular, sustainable housing seemed a natural next step. He and Anderson found a space near 15th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road to execute the concept. [caption id="attachment_6274" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The living room and kitchen have a modern feel."][/caption] “The benefit to modular housing is building in the controlled location — all your equipment and supplies are already there,” Wolfswinkel explains. “You can control the quality easier in that central location where everyone is working. This process takes conservatively six to eight weeks, ideally four weeks. If we can build one of these in three to four weeks, that’s really good.” And, the benefits are many: low initial cost, shrunken bills and a greatly decreased carbon footprint. Ninety-five percent of the building is done at the Upcycle Living facility, then the finishing touches are completed at the home site. “We put each container on a flatbed truck, ship it and drop it in place,” Wolfswinkel says. “It’s about a two- to three-day turnaround install, assuming the foundation is there — which are 18-inch piers that sit on the corner of each box. Then you just hook up electrical and sewer, and with a little tape and texture, you’re ready to go. Two or three days, and you have a house.” The containers themselves come from various ports around the West — Seattle, Long Beach, Oakland, Houston — and businesses in those ports have been supportive of the reuse of the containers, saving valuable port space. They welcome Upcycle Living taking the boxes, and they come cheap. By not pouring the foundation, the company saves more money. The steel structure is the bones, so money, time and materials are saved in that way. In turn, this savings allows for upscale, efficient features throughout: dual-flush toilets, bamboo floors, Energy Star appliances, steel staircases, recycled carpets, recycled countertops, low-VOC recycled cabinets, solar panels, urban gardens, gray water reuse systems and more. [caption id="attachment_6275" align="alignright" width="200" caption="An example of a fully customizable bath"][/caption] Upcycle Living is focusing on two drastically different areas for its housing: urban cores to increase density — something that could be very beneficial to neighborhoods full of empty lots in Downtown Phoenix— and rural areas away from cities. Wolfswinkel notes that he’s received good feedback from people from the High Country; they’re looking for homes that are fireproof in their heavily wooded areas. Upcycle Living is licensed to build and install in Arizona, but they’ll ship anywhere. Subcontractors can easily install the structure and get it running. On top of that, the company looks to source as much material as it can from within the state. Other, harder-to-come-by materials come from neighboring states. But, does it feel like a home? Tours of the model have yielded lots of enthusiastic responses. The model itself is surprisingly homey and airy, at around 1,200 feet, with two bedrooms and three baths laid out rather cleanly. From the outside, it really doesn’t look much different than the Catherine Arms and PRD-845 projects in Downtown Phoenix. In other words: Steel is in! The affordability factor could be a key in increasing urban infill and density throughout Downtown Phoenix. Young couples can make their first home an Upcycle Living home. Cheap dirt lots can house shiny new boxes and strengthen neighborhoods. People who want an affordable second home in the urban core can custom-design the floor plan of their dreams with Anderson and Wolfswinkel — he likens arranging the shipping containers to playing with Legos — the possibilities are endless. As for the affordability: It hasn’t quite been priced out, but Wolfswinkel estimates the model home as it stands would go for about $85-90,000. That should leave some dough for some nice, eco-friendly irrigation and landscaping, solar panels, façade work and more. Not too shabby. So, don’t be so sure that steel box on Roosevelt Street is something to avoid. Being ultra green and affordable is one thing, but having a welcoming home is another. Luckily, Upcycle Living offers all that and more. For more information on Upcycle Living, contact Ashton Wolfswinkel at 602.989.8162 or ashton@upcycleliving.com. The model on Roosevelt and 5th streets will remain in the coming months.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force.” Yes indeed, the Galactic Empire was in town. The evil, hated, dirty, flopping, no good, trouble-causing, Empire was back. On this night, though, the dark side fell victim to the light speed attack of the Rebel Alliance. In case you haven’t realized it by now, the dark side of the empire refers to the San Antonio Spurs (I want to vomit every time I type their name, so from here on out, they’ll be known as the Sterns (since NBA commish David Stern seems to be oh-so favorable toward them), leaving the Rebel Alliance to be played by the Suns. Normally, I wouldn’t dedicate an entire Suns Spot post to one game, but I think it’s safe to say a victory over the Sterns is well worth it. This was a huge win for the Suns. You might say its just one game, counts as much as the rest, but that’s not true. A win over the Sterns is a huge confidence boost for not only the team, but also the fans. And, I don’t want to hear, “Oh, but the Sterns haven’t been as good this year.” I don’t care. A win over the Sterns is still a quality win, no matter their record, because as much as I hate to say it, come season’s end, the Sterns will be a tough playoff match-up for anyone. I’m happy to say most Suns fans seem to agree on the importance of this game, as US Airways Center was rocking Tuesday night. It was more than just the win; it was how the Suns managed to get the win. They dominated the Sterns from the get-go, with their light sabers swinging, going up 11 at the end of one en route to a 67-point first half that had Phoenix leading by 15 at the break. The Suns got the job done offensively with a combination of scoring in the paint, as Amar’e Stoudemire looked to be playing on a Nerf basket for most of the game, as well as lights-out shooting from the outside, with Goran Dragic nailing four of five three pointers — one right in the grill of Tony Parker. Can you believe he Sterns drafted Dragic for us? On the other end of the court, the Suns' defense showed some grit and hustle. Stoudemire was beastly on the boards, pulling down 14 rebounds. In addition to the rebounds, he had three steals, one on Tim Duncan in the fourth that led to a Dragic layup that essentially sealed the victory for Phoenix. The Sterns' Richard Jefferson, Manu Ginobili and Parker were held in check. Combined they totaled for 26 points on 31% shooting. That’s simply amazing. Hats off to Jared Dudley and Dragic, who played stellar defense on the night, helping to contribute to the poor play of three out of four of the Sterns’ big four. In past years, Phoenix couldn’t contain Parker or Ginobili, let alone both. Add in this year's addition of Jefferson, and it's even more impressive. To me, this game was a big deal. It was against the freaking Sterns! This is the only team that can rival the hatred I have for the Lakers (and I assure you, I absolutely hate the Lakers). I know it's just one game and we’re still fairly early in the season, but roughing up a team that’s been very successful in recent years (one that Suns fans hate with a passion) is always a positive. Couple that with the Suns' recent struggles, especially against top-tier teams, and this hard-fought victory over the dark side gives us a new hope.]]> 6278 0 0 0 1566 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 1567 http://twitter.com/cwebbie 0 0 1568 http://christophercoffel.blogspot.com 1567 169 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/17/third-friday-lights/ Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:46:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6283 [/caption] To start off the night, check out the second outpost of Lola Coffee at the Gold Spot building at 1001 N. 3rd Ave. The shop will celebrate its grand opening with music, art and of course, plenty of good java. Downtown Friday Night, the weekly networking and socializing crew, will be on hand from 7-10 p.m. Follow them on Twitter (@downtownfn) for all the info. Once you've warmed up at Lola, head north on 3rd Avenue into Willo to see the neighborhood's most decked out house near Coronado Road. Trust us, you can see this thing from blocks away. It radiates color... things move in the yard... it's pretty serious. While you're in the 'hood, check out the (palm) tree-lined streets of Willo. A lot of houses in the area have impressive light displays. Also another good light-seeing area: in Roosevelt between Roosevelt Street and I-10, and 3rd and 7th avenues. Leaving Willo, head back down Central Avenue. Once back near Roosevelt Row, finish off your holiday shopping at Made, 922 N. 5th St. Made has lots of locally made trinkets, great artwork, fun clothing and cool stuff for the home. Can't figure out what to get DPJ for the holidays? Our office sure could use that felt squirrel for the wall. Shopping's done, and the holiday stress melts away. The bungalows heading south along 5th Street have some lights to check out, then hook a right at Garfield and head a block west to Nine|05, where you can have a nightcap amidst the icy cool lights surrounding the outdoor bar. Nine|05 always has funky tunes pumping on the patio, and the offered libations will warm you up on the cool evening. Happy sight-seeing on the last Third Friday of the year. Remember, we like that felt squirrel for our office wall.]]> 6283 0 0 0 1569 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1410417561 0 32 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/21/unexpected-connection-jeff-moriarty-phoenix-community-alliance/ Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:44:44 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6286 Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) held its annual membership meeting at the recently renovated Phoenix Country Club. The PCA is a private sector, not-for-profit organization launched in 1983 by local business leaders to create a dynamic Downtown Phoenix. This year, it has 145 corporate members and 70 adjunct members representing a variety of stakeholder organizations. The PCA advocates for solutions to the critical needs of Central Phoenix and provides technical assistance and support to parties interested in developing in and around Downtown Phoenix. It is involved in several projects, including supporting the Downtown Phoenix Urban Form Project, incubating the Discovery Triangle Corporation and championing the emerging health and bioscience sector. The PCA also helps businesses of all sizes interested in locating in Central Phoenix. The guest speaker at the luncheon was Jeff Moriarty. Among his many other hats, Moriarty is the President of the Phoenix Innovation Foundation (PIF). The PIF’s mission is to educate and promote the Phoenix metro community through community-based art, science and technology events. It sponsors free, public and community-run events — those whose missions parallel its own — through the donation of logistical and legal support, as well as with some charitable funds. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="144" caption="Jeff Moriarty"][/caption] During his comments, Moriarty focused on what community means to him and the implications for Phoenix. He discussed his experiences with Ignite Phoenix, and ImprovAZ and his passion for uncovering Phoenix’s "unique personality." Moriarty also talked about how social media can get around both the "Dilbertarian controls" of traditional corporations and the sprawling geography of Phoenix. Another thread of his discussion was connecting people in unexpected ways to increase community and innovation throughout the Valley. His presentation before the mainly corporate crowd, many of whom had little exposure to social media, was a great example of creating these unconventional connections. The Phoenix Community Alliance offices are in the historic Security Building at 234 N. Central Ave. in Copper Square. The alliance can be reached at 602.254.7477 or through President Don Keuth. Jeff Moriarty can be found on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. He blogs here, here and sometimes here.

On Saturday, my wife and I spent some time cleaning up the section of 7th Avenue that borders the North Park Central neighborhood, and cars were screaming up and down the road. Both 7th Avenue and 7th Street have a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit posted, and for good reason: they are residential areas. In fact, many of the streets in Downtown Phoenix are residential roads because (newsflash) people live in Downtown Phoenix. Beside the fact that there are people living up and down these major arterial roads, speedy and congested traffic discourages alternative modes of transportation like walking and biking — furthering the auto-centric bias that has plagued our developing city for some time. A simple plea: Next time you have to use 7th Avenue or 7th Street to get somewhere by vehicle, give yourself enough time between appointments to drive 35. Bikers, walkers and residents alike will thank you.]]> 6330 0 0 0 1589 0 0 1587 0 0 1588 http://brandonkbaker.blogspot.com 0 0 1595 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 1600 0 0 1586 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/22/phoenixs-adaptive-reuse-program/ Tue, 22 Dec 2009 20:30:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6294 [caption id="attachment_6295" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="A prime candidate for adaptive reuse: the city-owned (ca. 1909) Leighton G. Knipe House at 1025 N. 2nd Street."][/caption] By taking buildings that are either historical, dated or in older, established areas of the city and ensuring their presence long into the future, adaptive reuse is one of the ultimate expressions of sustainability. Not only does this take advantage of materials that are already there (which is environmental and economical), but it also respects a city’s history and plays an important role in community revitalization. Adaptive reuse also demonstrates that old buildings make great places for new ideas. As the famous urbanist Jane Jacobs said, "Old ideas can use new buildings, but new ideas need old buildings." The city’s Adaptive Reuse Program began as a pilot program in April 2008 to streamline the process of modifying older buildings for new business uses. In addition to adopting the International Existing Building Code, the city offers guidance, expedited time frames and reduced costs to individuals and companies looking to “recycle” older buildings for new business uses. Program participants can save between two weeks to three months time and $2,000 to $40,000 during the development process. In September 2009, the program won a "Crescordia" in the "Livable Communities" category at Valley Forward’s Environmental Excellence Awards. The Crescordia, named for a Greek term meaning “to grow in harmony," is the highest honor awarded in each category. This issue is  important to the city, because as Mark Leonard, Director of the Phoenix Development Services Department explains, “Adaptive reuse preserves our history, helps small business owners be successful, creates unique restaurant and business settings for all of us to experience and it’s environmentally friendly.” Mayor Gordon concurs, noting in a 2008 speech, “Historic buildings are a critical part of what makes the Phoenix skyline truly our own, truly unique.” [caption id="" align="alignright" width="288" caption="The interior of The Lost Leaf "][/caption] One example of adaptive reuse that will be familiar to many DPJ readers is modifying a historic, single-family residence for use as a restaurant or business. Some notable participants in the program include Tuck Shop (2245 N. 12th St. in Coronado), The Lost Leaf (914 N. 5th St. in Evans Churchill), The Paisley Violin (1030 NW Grand Ave.) and Hula’s Modern Tiki (4700 N. Central Ave. in Uptown). In total, the program has supported 30 total adaptive reuse projects in the past 18 months, although a few of them did not proceed past plan review due to the economy. Earlier this month, based on the recommendations of a Development Services Ad Hoc Task Force, council unanimously approved expanding the Adaptive Reuse Program. During its deliberations, the task force looked at the existing program's experience to date, as well as best practices from other cities, and came up with what may be the most comprehensive adaptive reuse plan in the country. The expanded plan now includes buildings constructed prior to the year 2000, increases the size limits from 5,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet and allows for occupancy change flexibility. This expansion of the program provided increased opportunities to rezone, reuse and revitalize vacant strip malls, big box centers and other blighted community areas and keep them out of the landfill.

Since I am of the adventurous motive, I decided I should check it out. Well, I should witness the aftermath at least. I decided to get the life blood pumping by walking over. Considering that this “season” of winter is generally 70º and sunny by day, this was a good choice. Honestly, I half-expected to find people still crashed out on the floor when I arrived. Sadly, it had on its Clark Kent exterior and was operating as normal. I asked about the night before. Apparently, it was “pretty amazing.” Dang, I knew I missed out. Well, I will tell you that this location’s counter is just as wonderfully adorned with sweets and deliciousness as the Central Avenue location, so I was automatically in love with this place. I have occasionally had wild, vivid dreams about the baked goods at Lola — most of them end with me attempting to eat my pillow. I seriously have never tried something from the Lola pastry selection that has not been like a party in my mouth. I quickly selected a slice of cinnamon coffee cake and my old standby coffee drink: a white chocolate mocha. I love them, and I don’t care who knows it. I went and took my seat with my slice of cake and semi-patiently waited for my mocha. Looking around this place, you can just feel the hip emanating off the walls. It reeks of a quiet cool that is noticeable once you enter the doorway. With wide open spaces, cool art adorning the walls (wondering how they managed to get that huge piece inside the building?) and alluring furniture to rest on, this place is very much one to put on your route. Once my mocha arrived, I immediately thought of the opening scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer, where the camera follows a giant latte into Mike Myers' hands. “I’m sorry. I thought I ordered the large. Hello!!!” Interestingly enough, I only ordered the medium, and this mammoth drink was placed beside me. I was unsure I could even drink all of it, but my internal caffeine monster was grumbling, so I felt up to the challenge. Also, I had saved my first bite of cake for the moment I had my mocha in hand. I’m fairly certain there were fireworks that exploded in my mouth. This must be what heaven is like. My mouth was running through cinnamon fields of amazingness and my throat was swimming in a sea of white mocha. There are not enough glorious adjectives that can describe the revelry that my palate encountered at Lola. I thoroughly enjoyed my “manly” coffee drink, and I’m completely OK with that. Lola Coffee is located at 1001 N. 3rd Ave. in Roosevelt — light rail station at Central/Roosevelt. 602.265.5652]]> 6316 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/24/boutique-melrose/ Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:50:28 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6339 Qcumberz, Rust and Roses and Retro Ranch, capture the essence of this mile-long mecca. All three strive, and succeed, in creating an environment where shopping is fun again and treasure hunting pays off — big time. [caption id="attachment_6357" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="QCumberz has been a mainstay in Melrose for years."][/caption] The oldest, 15-year-old Qcumberz, has endured a major face lift and expansion to its current 6,500 square feet. Yet it's enjoyed steady business despite a faltering economy and seemingly constant construction. "We have shoppers from every strata: young, old, rich, poor. [There are] just as many single guys as women buying for the home," says owner Linda Moore-Lanning. "We have low prices — the best prices in town — and a broader range than most stores." Moore-Lanning, 64, took over the store 10 years ago and has remained a hands-on business owner ever since. Even as her husband battles cancer, Moore-Lanning continues to purchase products, style the store and stay involved. "It's a small business, a classic mom-and-pop shop" she says. Indeed, the store resembles a collection of pieces from the mom-and-pop shops of the 1950s. Or, in many cases, items from houses that belonged to someone's mom and pop. From full table-and-chair sets to seedy romance novels, Qcumberz leaves no decade or genre unturned. It even boasts an impressive collection of historic doors and windows. Yes, windows. [caption id="attachment_6358" align="alignright" width="300" caption="QCumberz offers more than a few old window frames."][/caption] Moore-Lanning notes that there are a lot of historic homes in the area that look for pieces that fit the time period — be it furniture or a specific hinge. Many customers come in looking to start a project. They find ideas, parts and pieces, she says. And, though the shop does see a lot of customers who come in looking for desired pieces, many come for inspiration. "A lot of people come here and browse for two or three hours," she says. "A lot come to escape. It triggers a memory." Undeniably, all of the store's stock belongs to someone's memories. Moore-Lanning does most of the purchasing, though Qcumberz is home to five or six different vendors. They bring in their finds, and Moore-Lanning gets a piece of the commission. The variety is apparent, providing the ideal environment for perusing on a lazy afternoon, and the items change daily. [caption id="attachment_6359" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="There are always good finds at QCumberz."][/caption] "Everything eventually goes through Qcumberz," Moore-Lanning explains. "We go through every legal place [to find things]. Wherever there's good stuff or interesting stuff, we're always in the middle; we get new stuff every day. You never know what you're going to find — we never know what we're going to find." That constant inflow and devoted patronage has kept the Melrose District on the map as a shopping destination. Soon after Qcumberz opened its doors on a then-vacant 7th Avenue, several like-minded shops followed suit. Though the local market took a bit of a dip after 9/11, Moore-Lanning says she noticed one day that there were suddenly 25 boutiques in the district. The number has stayed fairly consistent, which allows businesses to feed off each other's customers. "We're probably the best-known independent store," she says. "It's the kind of business America is made of. The economy has definitely affected it, and in some ways we should be recession proof. But, when people start to need more furniture... when the cabinet breaks for the sofa rips... we're a fun store. We're a destination shop." Ironically, the destination status hurt Qcumberz during the three-year light rail construction. Business slowed substantially for the entire district, and even with the light rail recovery has been slow. Yet, fellow businesses Rust and Roses and Retro Ranch have also maintained a modest yet consistent following. [caption id="attachment_6360" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Rust and Roses has maintained steady business despite the economy."][/caption] After 12 years in the business, Shelly Session has seen boutique traffic ebb and flow. Session, 44, opened Rust and Roses three years ago. The store is an extension of Session's own style, and its success led her to open a companion clothing boutique, Sirens and Saints, this past September. The boutique was something she always wanted to do, she says, and has only helped business. Whereas Rust and Roses has an "urban farmhouse chic" feel, she describes Sirens and Saints as a place to find "hand-selected, limited-quantity clothing at a very good, competitive price point. A vintage feel in an urban, hip way." Regardless, Session's stores are rooted in practicality. In choosing the products to showcase in her stores, Session says she looks for two things: functionality and feeling. The pieces have to fit the mood of the store, which she calls "dreamy, monochromatic and livable." [caption id="attachment_6361" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Rust and Roses offers all kinds of unique items for the home."][/caption] "It doesn't matter if you put a glass on the table, it makes it better," she says. All of the garden iron pieces are manufactured from vintage prototype pieces. The store itself feels French inspired, with a touch of flair — Session has two pairs of Romanesque columns and a pair of old chairs reupholstered in zebra print. She styles the store to look like a livable warehouse, with furniture that could be from your grandmother's house — except grandma would never showcase a pair of gold heels in a bell jar. "I've always worked in retail," Session says. "I've always done home. I like to mix this architectural feel with modern home living." Session travels at least once a month to collect the pieces she sells. The continental U.S. is fair game, but the majority of the inspiration and look comes from Western Europe. Still, Session does not discount the power of Phoenix. She regularly participates in Third Thursday, and frequently has artists perform in front of her store. Utilizing a local atmosphere has kept Melrose alive, and that is the sole feeling behind Retro Ranch, located just up the street from Rust and Roses. Owned by Indigo Nielsen, Retro Ranch houses vintage found in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The inspiration for the name comes from the ranch-style houses in the area. The store has a distinct 1960s and '70s feel, and Nielsen primarily finds her items at yard or estate sales. [caption id="attachment_6362" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Only at Retro Ranch..."][/caption] She attributes Phoenix's diverse population and constant influx of people to the great finds she sells. The fact that Melrose has so many great treasure hunt boutiques on one strip has only solidified the district and given it a new energy, she adds. Retro Ranch lends itself to a fun environment, and is constructed that way to benefit the customer, she says. It was given the Phoenix New Times 2009 Best of Phoenix award for vintage clothing, most of which is supplied by vendor lollyPOP vintage. In addition, Nielsen houses a large collection of furniture and one-of-a-kind pieces. She hopes to expand the store in the direction of accessories, and has received many requests to carry record players and similar music equipment. The best part of the business, Nielsen says, is not dong the collecting and buying that she loves, but meeting the customer. "I just love getting to meet the cool people that walk in the store. I feel so lucky," she says. QCumberz is located at 4429 N. 7th Ave. — 602.277.5133. Rust and Roses is located at 4200 N. 7th Ave. — 602.264.4999.

Instead of writing about the current stretch of home games the Suns are finally on, their recent performance has forced me to switch gears. During Wednesday night’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Suns lacked punch off the bench, with the reserves only chipping in 12 points. This is normally where Leandro Barbosa would come into play. With his scoring numbers dipping just a bit from recent years and the emergence of Jared Dudley and Goran Dragic, it was easy to overlook the play and overall importance the Blur has on the team. However, even with the slight drop-off in overall scoring, LB was shooting a career high from the field before his nasty ankle injury (although even when playing he was banged up) and he was on par for his overall career average from long range, plus he was still getting to the basket at will. The only reason there has been a decrease in his scoring is due to the fact that he was playing less minutes this year and taking less shots. The stats don’t even begin to tell the story of what Barbosa actually brings to the table. When LB is healthy he gives the Suns a whole other element. With him on the bench, the second string has a lot more firepower to work with. Although he hasn’t done as much this year, partly due to the injury issues and partly due to the other bench players stepping it up a notch, he still does provide another threat that can always come in handy. This missing threat has become very evident over the course of December as Barbosa has been sidelined with the ankle sprain. Before Barbosa went out, the Suns were 8-2; since then they’ve struggled to a 10-9 mark, and the team definitely could’ve used LB in a few of those losses. The most recent loss to the Thunder was a prime example. The Suns got brilliant performances from three of their five starters, but got very little help from their reserves. In such a close game, bench play can make all the difference. That’s why come Christmas evening, barring any setback today or Christmas morning, all Suns fans can thank whatever higher being they believe in that Barbosa will be suiting back up in the purple and orange.

Dudley jersey giveaway

[caption id="attachment_6366" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Jared Dudley was in the holiday spirit this week, giving away 50 signed jerseys to fans."][/caption] Earlier this week Jared Dudley and the Phoenix Suns began the "Jared Dudley Twitter Holiday Jersey Giveaway" as Dudley and the Suns teamed up to give away 100 of the former Boston College standout’s jerseys. Suns fans were able to win one of the first 12 autographed Dudley jerseys by entering contests through the Suns' official Twitter page. In addition to those 12, the gritty small forward gave away 50 jerseys himself to the first 50 fans that showed up outside the Casino Arizona Pavilion at US Airways Center Tuesday afternoon. The remaining jerseys will be given out during Friday’s home game against the Los Angles Clippers.

Ride the Rail to the game (and Majerle's)

Speaking of the home game this Friday against the Clippers, Suns fans are encouraged to attend the game via the light rail as part of the Ride the Rail Event, which allows anyone with a ticket to an event at US Airways Center to ride the METRO light rail for free. And, for those that are looking for a place to grab drinks before or after the game, be sure to swing on by Majerle’s, just up the street from the Purple Palace at 24 N. 2nd St., as it will be open on Christmas day to serve those in the area and those attending the game.

In case you don't know, the Mini Ts are one of those super buzz bands with killer witty lyrics and catchy pop jingles, lauded by authorities like SPIN, Rolling Stone, Death+Taxes and CMJ. We knew they'd grow beyond the tiny confines of our tight-knit music scene. They're simply too big and too killer for us now. The band is the premier piece of once-Phoenix-based (still kinda-Phoenix-based) label Modern Art Records, which quietly occupied a Downtown area bungalow for a while before (also) heading to the hipster mecca that is Brooklyn. Having spent most of 2008 and 2009 on the road, the band's following has ballooned. Brooklyn, treat 'em nice. The show at the Trunk Space is sorta last minute, and that's probably good, because any more time to build up the buzz and the place would certainly break any fire code the city could impose. It's also good because the Trunk Space just got done holding a benefit concert this past weekend, and we don't need to lose Grand's best venue. Go to the show, and bring enough cash for a Trunk Space t-shirt. And maybe a Mini Ts one, too.

So we attended the early class, which meant 5:30 AM! I somehow made it there on time. Most of the time I don't see that time of day, unless it is just getting in. The gym is in downtown in a cool little warehouse space. For this particular class we were outside in the back portion of the lot. There were no weights, benches, or rubber bands. All that was out there was the asphalt and old car and tractor tires. Definitely different. 4 rotations of 5 stations involving every muscle group, plus running. There was shadow boxing, stretching/yoga type moves and wind sprints to round out the workout. Amen, the trainer, does a great job of keeping you motivated while you are testing your mental fitness about as much as your physical. It is also a very mixed group of people, first timers like me, some very fit and some not so fit. By the end of the class everyone is cheering on everyone else. There is no need to be embarrassed or ashamed if you are unable to finish, but Amen and the group will try hard to keep you going. My only regret so far: I haven't been back in two weeks.

Since I was a little under the weather, probably from the early stages of post-holiday blues, I decided that this week was perfect for some healthiness. Also, it is definitely time to start establishing your list of resolutions, and eating right is always a good start. Sitting on the corner of 16th Street and Bethany Home Road, a place like Luci’s is definitely in the far reaches of Uptown, but we can make an exception. From the moment I entered, I was greeted and welcomed warmly. This place knows how to hire people with sunny personalities. Not the "oh-crap-here-they-come-again" kind of friendliness, but the welcoming kind. Every employee was willing to help me find something that would make me feel better. It was refreshing to be here from the get-go, and I had not even decided what I would eat. Hospitality does not just reside in the South. I selected the Harira soup after it received high praise from one of the friendly faces behind the counter. So, I walked over to the coffeebar counter and poured my soup and exchanged delightful conversation about the weather with the attendants there. This place definitely has a home feel to it. Once I was seated in the cozy dining area, I began to admire the décor. Huge, retro signage adorns the place, but not in an overbearing way. Luci’s collects itself in a quiet cool that resonates in its every aspect. From the friendly staff to the unique wooden tables in the dining area, this place has it together. From the first sip of the Harira soup, I was warm. A Moroccan soup in origin, this stuff is a meal in itself. Packed with beef, chick peas, lentils, onions, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes, this is one hearty and filling broth. Every bite was soft and delicious. I was unwilling to put my spoon down until it was finished. All I could do was stare sadly at my empty bowl once it was gone. The warmth of my visit is still sitting very well with me. Any place that can make you long to return for both friendliness and cuisine is a winner in my book. Luci's Healthy Marketplace is located at 1590 E.

The CES Expo runs from January 7-10, and is the largest consumer trade show on the planet. Griffin Technology, a company based out of Nashville, focuses on the manufacturing of products for iPods and personal computing needs.

Five Griffin employees are making the journey with the bus, blogging about their adventure along the way. CES Bound will be at George & Dragon pub in Phoenix on Saturday, January 2 for a lovely little meet-up full of beer, free swag and good old nerdy conversation. Promotional items and other goodies from Griffin and sponsors Threadless and Brightkite will be handed out. "We're excited to hit the road to CES and meet Griffin fans across the country," says Dave Delaney, Griffin's Social Media Coordinator, in a statement released by the company. "The bus is a great way to put a personal face on our real-time web community and make some new friends along the way. It's going to be fantastic!"

And, there will be live music, too: DPJ's own Sips and Grub blogger Kenny Bump will be performing in the new living room/juice bar area, doing his best James Taylor impression, hitting all the high notes and pleasantly strumming his acoustic, along with Phoenix singer/guitarist Adrienne Arms. The most relaxing element? SuTRA will be brewing up "hair of the dog" punch to take the sting off, as well as squeezing tasty "hangover cure" raw juices to soothe the body.

Beating the Lakers is about a hundred times better. I can honestly say without a doubt, there is nothing I hate more in this world the Lakers. Everything about them — their stupid jerseys, their horrible “fans,” their name — is horrible. There’s not even any lakes in LA! (Yes, I realize they moved from Minnesota back in the day and the name fit there, but they should have changed it). After the trashing the Suns gave the Lakers, they laid a beat-down on the boys from Beantown, as they defeated the Celtics on Wednesday at the Purple Palace. So what if Boston was a little banged up? (OK, a lot banged up.) They’re still a top-notch team, and the Suns pushed them around (and let’s not forget, the Suns did dominate a healthy Celtics squad earlier this year in Boston). More important than the wins the Suns got over these two teams is how they got them. They came out with tons of energy in both games and active hands on the defensive end. Despite being undersized in both games, the Suns battled on the boards. On Monday, Phoenix kept pace with the league leaders in rebounds by finishing the game even at 43 boards apiece. Against Boston on Wednesday they actually controlled the glass, out-rebounding the Celtics 42-38. The effort on the defensive side clearly showed against Boston, as the Suns came up with nine steals, seven blocks and forced Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace to shoot a combined 7-24 from the field, and 1-9 from long range. The bench continued its solid play in these two games, especially in the Lakers contest. Robin Lopez got his first significant minutes in a meaningful game and really impressed, actually leading the Suns in scoring at the end of the first and causing problems for Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. In the Boston victory, it was Leandro Barbosa who stepped up big, looking to be back in form after the ankle injury as he chipped in 17 points, four assists, four steals and two rebounds. I expect to see more play like this from the Suns over the rest of the season as opposed to the play we saw at the beginning of the month. They have to. They’ve already shown us that when the effort is there they can compete with the best of them, so there aren’t any excuses from here on out. Hopefully, the Suns themselves realize the same thing I noticed from these last two games. Either way, at least these last two games were nice way to close out the decade.]]> 6406 0 0 0 1620 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2009/12/31/dream-opening-bar-downtown-phoenix-2010/ Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:51:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6414 Your dream could become a reality.

The ridership numbers in year one completely blew away expectations. A rail culture, fueled by endless promotions, great blogs like RailLife.com and LightRailBlogger.com and a seemingly immediate impact at several intersections (most notably Central and Camelback) has me excited to see that Phoenix has indeed embraced mass transit. Sure, there are still kinks to be worked out, but all those who said it couldn't work have been proven wrong. I've even run into several Downtown Phoenix residents over the past year who have sold their cars since the light rail launch. That's progress. Civic Space Park opened in 2009, along with the restoration of the historic A.E. England Building on its grounds. The heart of Downtown Phoenix has needed park space desperately, and this is a true urban park — solar power, gray water redistribution, funky artwork, retail spaces and scheduled entertainment. It helps that the focus on actually getting to the park has leaned toward transit or by foot or bike. The close proximity to ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus has been a boon, and integration into the First and Third Friday scene was swift and successful. Now if we could only utilize that amphitheater space to its full potential... We had heard about it for months, and when the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar finally opened its doors, it was a pivotal point in Downtown Phoenix's history. We've yearned, begged and flat-out shouted our need for a grocer south of I-10, and it was beginning to feel as if it would never happen. Now, after a few months of experimentation, the Urban Grocery has a great balance of amazing local produce, food products and wine and beer;  just the right amount of household necessities (all eco-friendly!); and a highly underrated kitchen that churns out some of Downtown's best lunches. The regularly scheduled wine tastings don't hurt, either. And, who can debate that our taste buds had a nice 2009? Tons of great places opened: Nine05, Postino Central, Lola Coffee Uptown and Roosevelt, Hula's Modern Tiki, Gallo Blanco Café, Local Breeze, PastaBAR, St. Francis and the Turf, as well as others, all opened in '09 and became instant favorites. With so much progress in a year (let alone during the big bad recession), it's encouraging to see what's happening in our city. Nothing happens overnight. Perhaps there won't be much difference at this point in 2011. But, great people are doing great things close to us. Let's encourage it. 2010 has great things in store.

The store was smaller then I had expected, but carried a full line of items. The meat case is where I hung out at most. I decided to not get any meat here, as I was more just kind of getting an idea of what they carried more then anything else. They also have a restaurant here, but it was being revamped, so it wasnt really open. I was kind of disappointed, but its only temporary. The staff here is small, but personable and will answer your questions if you should have any. Please do not be intimidated when shopping here — it's not just for us Jewish folks!! It's for everyone! I would return here in the future, but probably not on a regular weekly basis. They have Challah, which I love, and one or two other things that I like to have around the house that are hard to find elsewhere around the Valley at times.

Brace yourself, but I have been to Carly’s before. OK, I’ve been there a lot. This tends to happen when it is only a few blocks from my front step. I don’t normally eat there, though. Normally I darken their doorway for one reason: their willingness to sell PBR and Sessions Lager for $2. What can I say, I am easy to please. So, this venture was cause for a more serious focus — my growling stomach. I had long heard tale of the Carly Q: warm roast beef drowning in special barbecue sauce on an onion challah roll with cheese. Whew. Just writing that part made me hungry again. Carly’s sits right in the middle of it all, across the street from Revolver Records, just downwind from Modified Arts and a hop, skip and jump from Monorchid. So, it stands to reason that you might have heard of the place. I mosey up to the bar and slide into my comfy seat. The place is artsy and inviting from the moment you cross the threshold; you're embraced by hip artwork and even hipper company. In my previous experiences the barkeeps were all noticeably friendly. This time didn’t disappoint. The lovely lady behind the cartoon-laced bar was eager to slide me a drink and crack the whip on the kitchen to get out my order. I’m going to admit that you guys almost didn’t get a picture of this meal because I was hellbent on devouring it when it arrived. The barbecue sauce was pouring from the sandwich, just mocking me that I would have it all over my face before I was done. The warm roast beef was thickly sliced and roasted to perfection. To top it off, the cheese was melty and delectable. I’m not sure that I have ever had a barbecue sandwich like this one. After ravenously consuming it and needing second and third rounds of napkins, I had conquered the Carly Q. I felt that the feat was deserving of a shirt, but the satisfaction of quieting my rumbling tummy was prize enough. So, make sure you hit up Carly’s for one of the best barbecue sandwiches around. I might be in the corner sipping my PBR. Be sure to say hello. Carly's is located at 128 E.

614 N. 4th Ave. in Roosevelt

Two doors north of Local Breeze sits one of the Roosevelt neighborhoods's original structures. This house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1983, was constructed in 1906. But, if you're new to the area, you probably don't know that it was part of a dynamic duo. One lot to the north, the former 618 N. 4th Ave. (now Metro 4 Twelve apartments on a double lot at 620 N. 4th Ave.), was a virtually identical cottage built five years prior in 1901. [caption id="attachment_6451" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The concrete block house stands next to Metro 4 Twelve, the site of the former house at 618 N. 4th Ave."][/caption] The historic name of the twin cottages is unknown, but their uncanny likeness to each other — one-story concrete block cottages with hip roofs and dormers, porch overhangs and similar craftsmanship "designed to look like stone" — was unlike anything the neighborhood had seen. Even the trim and accent colors were strikingly uniform. Today, the remaining house is simply known as "Concrete Block Cottage" in historic references, or "Concrete Block Neoclassical House" by the city of Phoenix's Historic Preservation Office. The city added the building to its historic register three years after its NRHP designation in September 1986. The building left standing at 614 has been boarded up for some time, but its turn-of-the-century charm remains apparent, despite its current state. It needs of a new roof, a serious paint job and some structural work on the porch and overhang. The front and back yards of the property are empty dirt space.

We know where the Suns struggle: on the defensive end, especially against bigger teams, and on the glass. As far as strengths go, Phoenix has an abundance of scoring — the best in the league — and great chemistry. Now in the perfect world, or NBA 2K10, we’d just ship out one of the extra scorers we have for a big that can defend and rebound with the best of them. Unfortunately, this world is neither perfect nor played on Xbox 360, so teams are shopping talented big bodies at a great price. So, what to do? The Suns have three players that you’ll probably hear come up this trade season: Leandro Barbosa, Jason Richardson and Amar’e Stoudemire. One has value, one has a big contract Phoenix wouldn’t mind shedding and one has an uncertain future. First, we’ll start with the value in Barbosa. All teams need scoring off the bench, and LB is one of the best. He’s a great outside shooter that can get into the paint at will. Now think about the fact that he’s a great bargain for what he does, especially when you consider the guys that make more than him and do less, and there are plenty of teams out there that would love to have the Blur leading their second unit. Plus, with the improvement of Goran Dragic, Barbosa’s minutes and production are down, so he could be expendable. Since LB’s return from injury, the Suns have gone 5-2, and although they blew "gimme" games against the Warriors and Grizzlies, 5-2 is still much better than they had been playing while LB was out. Not to mention, the guy never complains, is said to be a great teammate and wants to be here. For me, that’s more than enough reasons to hold onto LB. Then there’s Richardson. He’s not as desirable as Barbosa because of his fat contract, but he is more than serviceable as a starting 2 in the association. He’s a great scorer, above-average rebounding guard and when he wants to, can be a fairly decent defensive player. In an uptempo offense, much like the one the Suns run, Richardson is a great addition. Trading Richardson would require us to take on a bad contract of someone who will more than likely be far less talented than him. Plus, when Richardson is clicking, the Suns are completely different beast on offense, so I think it's best to keep him. [caption id="attachment_6464" align="alignright" width="263" caption="Is Amar'e on the trade block again?"][/caption] Lastly, there’s Stoudemire, and the whole "will he or won’t he opt out of his current contract this summer" scenario. Even after STAT makes that decision, he has to decide whether or not he wants to be here and how much he plans to make. We know he’s one of the most explosive offensive players in the league, but his defense and rebounding continue to be suspect, although he has shown some improvement in the rebounding department over the last month or so. He’s shown he can bounce back from major injuries better than anyone else in the league, so health shouldn’t be a concern. You can bet Amar’e’s name will come up often in trade rumors. Despite the fact that Stoudemire can opt out after this year and the Suns could lose him for nothing, trading him would be a huge mistake. You don’t trade a guy with this much talent, just out of fear for losing him in the summer. He’s just too good. You offer him a contract extension and keep him here for the long haul. Amar’e’s maturity level has taken great strides this year and he deserves to be rewarded. To top it all off, I honestly believe Stoudemire wants to be here and would settle for less than max salary. Owner Robert Sarver and GM Steve Kerr just need to make it happen. Bottom line, if I’m calling the shots, Phoenix stays pat. While there are areas of weakness the Suns can improve on, the risk is too high. When chemistry plays such a high role in a team’s success, you just don’t mess with that.]]> 6462 0 0 0 1661 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 1668 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/08/insecure-critic-phoenix-home/ Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:28:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6472 After a brief hiatus, the Insecure Critic column is back with the same poignant, insightful, selective insecurities as before, but with a new focus: examining the city in which he lives, the issues that he faces and the people and places he encounters. When I got home from my recent trip to Ohio to visit family for the holidays, it struck me: Phoenix is home to me now. I know that may seem obvious since I have lived almost a third of my life here, but it hadn't hit me until this trip that I was most at home in the desert. When I first moved to the Valley in 2000, transferring jobs with a former employer, I never saw the move as something permanent. I expected to stay here for a few years then move on. Something has kept me here, though. If I boil it down to the basics, there are three things that keep me here: the special places that make Phoenix unique, the interesting blend of people you will find here and the paradoxical beauty of the desert.

Places

While some people say that there isn't anything to do in Phoenix, I find I have the opposite problem. When family comes to visit from out of town, we have trouble getting everything done in time. For example, the Heard Museum is unlike any museum I've ever been to, with its unique collection of Native American art. Every time I visit, all I can think is, "Why don't I come here more often?" I also love the experience of taking someone into You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies at the Phoenix Art Museum for the first time. Sure, neither of those places is MoMA, but they offer things that are uniquely Phoenix. Not to get all museum crazy, but the other thing that I absolutely love in Phoenix is the Desert Botanical Garden. It is fun, interesting, beautiful, romantic and inspiring. I also highly recommend the guided tours they offer — I'm personally not much of a guided tour kind of guy, but I went on one last time I was at the garden, and it was fascinating. I just realized that I am starting to sound like one of those cheesy tourist guides that you find on the nightstand at the Airport Hilton, so I apologize, but there is a reason that the Convention and Visitors Bureau recommends these places: they really are world class, and they are right in Phoenix. Anyway, my other favorite places in Phoenix are our unique, local restaurants. There is nowhere else that you can find Matt's Big Breakfast or Postino. I'm not sure of another place that I could find a bar as chill as The Lost Leaf or service as ambivalent as that at Carly's.

People

I love the people in Phoenix; sure, when you have a populace that consistently elects the craziest sheriff in the country time after time, you have to wonder about the general mental state of the people, but I appreciate the distinct Arizona culture. As someone with a libertarian political view that borders on anarchist, I like the sort of "live and let live" attitude that tends to prevail in Phoenix. I see it in the way people interact in social situations, the way people behave at work and the way laws are written. Yes, this means that in Arizona your pet project, whether it is bike paths, or publicly funded solar panels, is less likely to be showered with tax dollars, but it also means that people in general respect your ability to make your own decisions. I like that. I have met some of the most thoughtful, intelligent, clever people I have ever known right here in Phoenix, and I am sure I am going to meet many more.

Beauty

I remember the first time I was told this maxim about our desert by a priest at a church I attended long ago: The miracle of the desert is finding beauty where you would never expect to see it. It is so true. The most barren and desolate mountain has an uncanny majesty as it stands against the bands of color in the Phoenix sunset. There is inspiration in seeing the tiny blossoms of a desert plant surrounded by acres and acres of dry, dusty land. It is a reminder that the most beautiful and meaningful things often come to us in hardship and difficulty. The desert speaks to me. Am I a diehard evangelist for Phoenix, or am I vowing to stay here until I die? Absolutely not. But, by the same token, I will never be one of those people who constantly bitches about Phoenix, about how awful the transit, weather, people, politics or education is here, and how they can't wait to move to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland or Seattle, as though someone were holding a gun to their head forcing them to stay here. If someone offered me a dream job in Boston or Chicago, of course I would move. But, I'm happy where I am now.]]> 6472 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/08/canteen-el-rey-world-flavors-downtown-phoenix/ Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:11:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6483 Nine|05 seems to be in a world all by itself — surrounded on its two main sides by expansive dirt lots — though it's just half a black south of Roosevelt Street's main arts drag. But, in a matter of months, two new concepts, European-inspired gastropub Canteen and El Rey, a Mexico City-style taco n' tequila joint, will round out the corner, completing the mini-empire renowned Valley chef Matt Carter and his business partner, Jay Bogsinske, began envisioning nearly three years ago.

[caption id="attachment_6486" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Canteen (left) and El Rey are the final two pieces to the puzzle on the corner."][/caption] Carter and Bogsinske had eyed the building on Garfield Street butting up to the alley between 4th and 5th streets for the El Rey concept for years. It wasn't until Johnny Chu's Fate left the original Nine|05 space on the corner that they realized the entire dream. The landlord approached them to announce the availability of what would become Nine|05. [caption id="attachment_6487" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Canteen's interior features a vintage oak bar, a DJ nook and rustic ironwork overhead."][/caption] "We feel like we have an opportunity [on this corner] that someone else should've taken already," Bogsinske says, smiling. "We had to take it. We're excited to be a part of the renaissance going on Downtown. We'll be here for a long time." When Nine|05 opened this past summer, the plan was to quickly follow up with Canteen as the heat tapered off. However, as Bogsinske reports, a lot of unforeseen red tape had to be cleared first. After months of delays installing water systems for a separate fire hydrant system — an issue Carter and Bogsinske weren't aware of when they moved in — they're back on track, eying a March opening date. The menu is a mix of Western European fare and comfort food with a strong bar influence — a mixologist will be behind the bar, and they'll experiment with "moonshine-like" concoctions in oak barrels. "We want to do something that will be the biggest food movement Downtown," Bogsinske says. "We said, What do we eat when we're out of town in New York or San Francisco? At 2 in the morning we're eating Latin food or Asian food or really high-speed bar food. We said, Let's do that." The Canteen space, similar in size and scope to the neighboring Nine|05 building, lends itself to the gastropub concept: a vaulted ceiling with swirling (incredibly eccentric) ironwork overhead, a second-story nook for DJs and live music, dark wood floors, a long hardwood bar and ample room for a charcuterie area featuring all sorts of tasty meats. The patio bar, currently used as an outdoor bar area for the Nine|05 space (and home to Thursday night open mic events), will inherit the Canteen menu, and will have a weekend European brunch complete with morning-after cocktails. [caption id="attachment_6488" align="alignright" width="300" caption="View from Garfield Street of the future El Rey. Expect this building to start taking shape this spring."][/caption] "Couples in America don't eat dinner in a bar, because the food is garbage," Bogsinske says. "But, in Germany, Spain and Austria, 55-year-old people eat dinner in a bar. That's the idea: Really Western European, a nice wine list, New York-like high-speed cocktails, charcuterie, amber lighting and leather accents." The focal point of the room, the octopus-like iron structure floating above the bar, creates interesting shadows throughout the day, depending on how much light shines through the windows. It gives the room different auras depending on when you visit. All sorts of European-inspired vintage fixtures and trinkets will give it a "European hodgepodge feel," as Bogsinske describes it. The El Rey building, which Bogsinske says they'll start to seriously work on in March once Canteen is completed, has ambitious goals, too, but he is quick to mention the low price points and laid-back atmosphere they're trying to achieve. [caption id="attachment_6489" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Canteen's patio will feature this bar area and weekend European brunches."][/caption] "We'd always envisioned this building as a taqueria," Bogsinske recalls. "Not like everyone envisions — without all the fried stuff, without all the fat, heavy food. Think stuff with more flavor; ingredient-driven food. We'll have whole chickens, pigs and stuff on rotisserie, and we'll come to the table and chop it off. We're thinking about all kinds of shared condiments and salsas — chimichurris, salsa verdes and all different things on a table. It will be a very shared experience (amongst patrons)." Upon completion, the El Rey building will have a stripped-down vibe that carefully preserves the 101-year-old structure. The building will be more cavernous than it appears from the outside, and lots of natural light will peak in through large, converted windows. The rooftop, accessible via elevator, will feature a lounge/bar area with live music that emanates east toward the Garfield neighborhood. Bottom line, as Bogsinske describes it: You'd have to go to a culinary city like New York to get this kind of experience. The food isn't only ingredient driven, but painstakingly laborious. The attention to detail on the plates at Nine|05 and the two upcoming projects doesn't go unnoticed. Expect the same eye for detail in the two upcoming spaces.

This corner will be transformed into a destination spot for all kinds of price points and interests — everything from cheap tacos at El Rey, to upscale ramen at Nine|05, to DJs and homebrewed concoctions at Canteen — a whole world of flavors.
Nine|05 is located at 905 N. 4th St. in Evans Churchill — light rail station at Central/Roosevelt. 602.254.6424

Owner Scot McKenzie says the move is partially for more space, but mostly for more creative freedom. The kind of art he encourages — everything from electronic music to experimental and abstract art — is something that "most people in Phoenix don't get." The electronic music he creates is representative of "other other side of life that you don't get to see," he says. "I want someone to see what I've seen in my head. It's like something I see in that speaker. The space between one and zero. The analog. The space between the beat." McKenzie says that at first, the First Friday idea seemed to work as a way to showcase experimental art. But, when it quickly dissolved into "kettle corn, screaming kids and cops everywhere," he knew he needed a new space. A bigger space. "It was fun while it lasted," McKenzie says of First Friday. "But, it wasn't conducive to me being creative. If it's a swap meet, I don't want to do it."

[caption id="attachment_6507" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="The new .anti_space, set to open this spring"][/caption] So, McKenzie found the warehouse, which was an old prop storage facility for an Arizona children's theater company. He and a team of volunteering friends have just started the renovations, aiming to be open to the public by Art Detour 2010, but he acknowledges it will never be fully completed. "It'll never be done," McKenzie says of the space. "It'll always be a work in progress. It's an always changing space." The nature of this space lends itself perfectly to the art McKenzie looks to create and hopes to house. In the past, .anti_space has shown work from the likes of Jason Hill and Luster Kaboom. In addition to continuing to show these and other works, he plans to have part of the warehouse be an area for restoration of old mod scooters, a hobby of his. With this reimagined .anti_space McKenzie wants to show "anything that has beauty. It doesn't seem to jive," he says of the scooter aspect, but, "there's nothing that's not beautiful about that." The warehouse will have floor-to-ceiling gallery walls up to 14 feet tall and an anticipated five studios, but it also takes McKenzie back to his roots. "It's my biggest art piece," McKenzie says of the space itself. "We're going to try to make this one what we wanted the other one to be." For McKenzie, that means a return to the minimal. The warehouse is going to be a huge focal point for this space. He plans on lighting the bare beams, keeping the cold, cement feeling by painting the entrance walls to the gallery black and he even hopes to strip the outside façade down to its bare bricks. The fascination with warehouses began years ago when, at a younger age, he would explore the old warehouses in Phoenix. "We used to break into warehouses because no one gave a shit about that stuff," McKenzie says. "We were finding old junky spaces that people were letting us fix up." He later would use one of these spaces to create the first .anti_space, which was then located off of 9th Avenue and Madison Street. Let's hope this move back to that original neighborhood is just the inspiration he needs. The current .anti_space is currently located at 718 N. 4th St. in Evans Churchill — 602.256.ANTI. The new space, set to debut this spring, will be located at 715 W. Buchanan St. in the Warehouse District.]]> 6504 0 0 0 1671 http://www.thomasschultzphotography.com 0 0 1674 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/12/sips-grub-chicken-sandwich-coronado-cafe/ Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:10:14 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6522 My original intention in trekking the 0.2 miles up the road to Coronado Café was to try out their Carne Pizza. Unfortunately, I have never been an investigative journalist – or, in this case, happened to look online at the menu — so I did not notice their menu changes to unleash their dinner fare on the world after 5 p.m. Whoops. Although, with the sweet aroma that was hovering over this little historic house, I was certain I would find something worth writing home about. Upon setting foot inside this quaint cottage, you can sense the vibe they are going for — a down-home, in-your-neighborhood feel with an expansive menu. They are succeeding. Once I was seated, my mission was quite clear: locate the menu item that was producing that heavenly scent. Aha! My eyes landed on at least one of the culprits: the Roasted Chicken Sandwich. The name itself sounds Plain Jane, but the outline for this masterpiece sounded divine. Savory roasted chicken with provolone, thick bacon, green chiles and an amazing chipotle aioli all balanced perfectly in a freshly baked MJ Bread foccacia bread. Needless to say, if you painted a picture of it, even cultured art enthusiasts would be attempting to consume the paint off the canvas. Once this picture of beauty arrived, I was adrift in a wonderful land of heavenly scents and home-cooked delights. The taste I was swimming in was truly divine and unexplainable. My palate forgot the carne craving I had entered with (well... the bacon helped), and just allowed me to savor each bite. I will return, oh dear neighborhood friend. And, next time, I will be after the wonders that your 5 o’clock menu holds.

[caption id="attachment_6534" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="The present-day Modified Arts. Photo by Jason Garcia."][/caption] For years, the stretch of Roosevelt Street that is the present-day Roosevelt Row was blighted to the point of total disregard — a far cry from the nexus of the artwalk that it is today. But, there is a lot of history in the tiny gallery space at 407 E. Roosevelt St. that is now Modified Arts. In fact, the structure is celebrating its 90th birthday in 2010. According to property records, the building at 407 E. Roosevelt once shared a double lot with 409 E. Roosevelt (presumably the the dirt lot directly to the west of the building that is currently for sale). Though it's been an arts space for the better part of the past two decades, it certainly wasn't always so. Once a single-family home, 407's original structure was built in 1920. Renovations to the building, including a new roof and a small expansion, were completed on its 50th anniversary in 1970. It was somewhere around this time that the building took a commercial purpose. Walking through the previous incarnation of Modified Arts, which closed in December 2009, you could see the expansion lines by looking at the ceiling. It remains to be seen how the structure has been reconfigured for its new use as it reopens later this month. In a 1988 property survey, the structure (and the neighborhood, in the peak of its blighted past) looked quite different. Shrouded in ivy and sans the metal façade it has today, it housed a small antiques store for several years before being rearranged as an arts space in the 1990s. Modified opened in the space in 1998, and has been there ever since.

(And, after last night's performance, there's no way I could write about the Suns' current play without shooting myself.) First we’ll start with a place that’s both close to USAC and to the team: Majerle’s Sports Bar. The bar and grill owned by and named after the former Suns great and current assistant coach, Dan Majerle, is located at 24 N. 2nd St., right in the heart of Copper Square in one of the older buildings in the Downtown area. Majerle’s offers great food at great prices to go along with the great vibes, as Suns memorabilia adorns the walls inside the sports bar. Every Suns game is shown on many of the flat-screen TVs throughout the restaurant. As an added bonus for Suns fans, when the game begins, the music goes off and the sound of the games echoes throughout the bar. This is a nice touch, as most places I’ve gone to watch the game never turn the sound on. Majerle’s constantly runs specials such as Martini Mondays, which allows patrons to get a martini for $5 throughout the month of January. All in all, Majerle’s is definitely a place any Suns fan can enjoy. Perhaps you’re not into restaurants named after an ex-athlete, and maybe you’d prefer one named after a rock star, such as Alice Cooperstown over on 1st and Jackson streets. Cooperstown has been around since 1998 and is known as the place “Where Jocks and Rock Meet,” as the nearly 6,000-square-foot, two-story dining room contains a rock n' roll atmosphere while playing all sports and only sports on all 16 of its big-screen TVs. Cooperstown shows every Suns game, paired with its made-from-scratch homestyle and barbecue dishes, along with daily drink specials. Cooperstown is definitely a place every Suns fans should consider going to take in a Suns road game. For those looking to enjoy a Suns road game without heading all the way into Downtown, Half Moon Sports Grill on 20th Street and Highland Avenue is always an excellent choice. Half Moon may not be owned by a celebrity like our first two selections (though there is an interesting story behind its name, which can be found on its website), but it does offer up a great atmosphere for fans to take in games while enjoying a wide menu, including the New Times Best of Phoenix award-winning wings. The best part about the wings? They’re half-off during all Suns games. With today’s economy the way it is, you can’t afford not to head over to Half Moon and take advantage of the great deal on these delectable wings during a Suns road game. For the last recommendation from Suns Spot, I had to go with none other than the New Times 2009 Best Downtown Sports Bar winner, Coach & Willie’s. Coach and Willie’s, on the corner of 3rd and Jackson streets, has over 20 HD flat screens that broadcast every Suns game. If the TVs aren’t enough to win you over, Coach and Willie’s offers a happy hour Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m. that is great for when the Suns are on East Coast trips with early tip-off times. The happy hour includes $3 appetizers, domestic bottles, well drinks and house wine. If you can’t make it over in time to enjoy happy hour or the Suns happen to be playing a late game, Coach and Willie’s still has you covered with its reverse happy hour, running Monday-Friday 8-10 p.m., and consisting of half-priced drafts, margaritas and house wine along with $5 appetizers. If you haven’t yet, I highly suggest stopping by Coach and Willie’s sometime for a game. There’s a reason it was voted the best. Hopefully, after reading what I suggested, Suns fans will have a better idea of the places in Phoenix that offer great deals to those wanting to watch the road game while getting a bite to eat (or knocking back a few).

For those individuals who currently work Downtown and are still interested in walking or biking to work, condo living has actually become affordable due to the beating that local real estate values have taken in the last few years. [caption id="attachment_6569" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Artisan Parkview"][/caption] As an example, lender-owned units at the Orpheum Lofts are currently being offered at the $100,000 price point. With a 20% down payment and even with the steep HOA dues there, an owner-occupant could be looking at a total monthly outlay for housing of under $1,200. For many professionals working in Downtown Phoenix, that is affordable. [caption id="attachment_6568" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="The Summit at Copper Square"][/caption] Other Downtown complexes such as the Summit at Copper Square, Stadium Lofts and Artisan Parkview are presenting the same kind of affordable, lender-owned purchase opportunities.

Under new direction from husband-and-wife team Adam Murray and Kim Larkin, Modified, once favored for the indie music and local art it housed, the space is now shaping up to be one of Downtown's premier galleries. "The changes we made were very minimal, but the effect was drastic" Larkin says. "We have more versatility, more room for hanging [artwork]." Indeed, the space looks bigger and brighter, but not entirely unrecognizable. The stage is noticeably absent, as is the front "bar" and the mysterious green room. Gone are the endless flyers for upcoming shows and the cramped DIY space feeling. Yet even among eggshell white walls and purposefully hung paintings, it still manages to maintain its intimacy. It's this feeling that Larkin hopes to keep part of Modified Arts, and a feeling she hopes the opening exhibition will elicit amongst the public. Aptly entitled "Modified Arts: Looking Back on the Future," the collection showcases predominately local artists, or ones with local ties, and pieces with a communal message. “We didn’t want to be reactionary by any means. We want to bring it what’s missing,” Larkin says, saying the couple worked with community members to determine what needed to be brought to Modified. “There’s a really strong community.” The final result is the product of four months of research and heavy debate. Including pieces from the 1930s through present day, the works offer a unique take on community, Arizonan culture and the Downtown Phoenix mentality. The works range from lithographs to oils, and a detailed house structure to a lightbox. The exhibition will also feature articles on prominent or communally important Downtown neighborhoods, and photos of noted Downtown spaces. Videos from deCompression gallery and Phoenix archives will be shown, creating a “Phoenix vision” as Larkin calls it, smiling. Wood artists Phillip Sanderson, painter Phil Curtis, colorist Dorothy Pratt and artist Rose Swartz will be shown, amongst a dozen featured artists. Larkin notes that many of the artists will be at Modified Friday night. She says that personal interaction enhances the understanding of the art by creating a bond with the artist, learning their inspirations. “I’m trying to break away from the cold gallery environment,” Larkin says of the show’s styling. “I look for art that is conceptually rigorous, both socially relevant and relevant nationally — not just in Phoenix. There’s something really exciting and invogorating in each person’s expression. I’m interested in personal histories.” Larkin speaks with an acknowledgment that the people showcased in the gallery are as equally necessary to community understanding as the works themselves. "We're looking back and recognizing some of the faces that have been here before," Larkin says of the premiere show. "We're taking this over from Kimber [Lanning] who was a force, such an institution, but not the only one." Lanning, who first opened Modified Arts in 1998, announced in October she was turning over the business to the couple. The backlash was quick and the public was vocal — both praising and criticizing the move. Yet Larkin says she's encountered a lot of support from the art community and neighborhood as a whole. "There's been two distinct reactions, because there were two groups that came to Modified," she says, referring to the music and art crowds. Perhaps the biggest misunderstanding, which has morphed into a criticism of sorts, is that Modified will no longer be home to some of the live music Phoenicians have come to expect. On the contrary, Larkin says. Modified will still house live music performances, although the presentation will be quite a bit different and more organic. Since the stage has been removed, the performances can encompass the entire room. The first will take place on Saturday with Static Announcements, a trio of improvisational jazz musicians; a collaboration between the rootsy TownCraft and singer/songwriter Michael Krassner; and the improvisational ensemble Dr. K's Acoustic Playground. Look for all kinds of experimental performances to dot the calendar in the future. "Looking back into the Future" opens Friday, January 15 from 6-9 p.m. and hangs through February 13. Saturday's performance starts at 6:30 p.m. and is $7. Modified Arts is located at 407 E.

They say that getting there is half the fun, and that was certainly true this evening. I drove from my home in Biltcadia to my personal park and ride (a.k.a. the parking garage at a friend's condo) and took the train down to the art museum to catch the trolley to Grand. Well, I will spare the gory details, but it was 57 minutes later when I arrived, after missing a train by 30 seconds, waiting for the next one, standing outside waiting for the trolley at the art museum for 15 minutes, and so on. When I finally got off the trolley in front of Sapna Café, I was instantly reminded of what a First Friday experience was supposed to be like. It was a lot of different people walking down the street: crazy dudes on souped-up scooters, chicks on kick-ass bikes and lots of piercings. There was no one walking around who looked like the only reason they ended up on this street was because a hotel concierge handed them a map. It was a sense of random, unintentional, but amazing community. No one had a tent full of clocks made out of computer hard drives that they were selling under the watchful eye of a security team; instead, people were being themselves with other people who were being themselves. The galleries on Grand have some amazing art. There are some kick-ass installation pieces, found items and even crafty stuff, in case you're into that. But, the thing I loved best was witnessing the transformation of a neighborhood. The rows of warehouses are coming to life as a new community of artists, idea people, drunks and a few crazies — all of the things that it takes for a real neighborhood to work. And, I hope there will always be some warehouses, some seedy hookers and some homeless people walking around, because that is part of what keeps a place grounded. This wasn't my first time on Grand. I have hung out at the Paisley a time or two, and even had a crazy night at Chez Nous before it shut down. But, on this night, I saw the grungy, amazing soul of what a Downtown arts community is supposed to look like. It is in the double-digit avenues, and it is awesome.]]> 6579 0 0 0 1738 http://chadswaney.com 0 13 1797 http://www.alexozers.com 1738 0 1712 0 0 1737 0 0 2679 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/18/boutique-west-mcdowell/ Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:04:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6607 Easley’s Fun Shop, the Antique Mall and Sage all line McDowell Road between 3rd and 7th avenues, each maintaining faithful and healthy followings. [caption id="attachment_6628" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Easley's has quite the bead selection."][/caption] Easley’s Fun Shop, located at 5th Avenue and McDowell Road, opened its doors over 62 years ago. Original owner Bert Easley was a Vaudeville magician and entrepreneur, whose initial intention for Easley’s was nothing more than a magic shop. However, Easley quickly filled the store with gag gifts and novelties. Decades later, Easley’s Fun Shop is still under Easley family ownership and has since graduated to a store filled with much more than just magic and novelties. With well over 10,000 retail products, Easley’s offers everything from costumes, theatrical makeup, hats, wigs and countless costume accessories. The shop also maintains a rental department with over 7,000 products available, says Greg Fox, Easley’s Web designer and store manager. Fox, who has been working at Easley’s for over eight years, has admitted there have been some changes since the recession began. “This past year there were less costume sales, but much more sales in accessories,” Fox says. He attributes the shift in merchandise popularity to customers trying to piece together costumes with the intent of “saving a couple pennies.” But, Fox says one thing has remained consistently in demand: the '70s outfits. “People always seem to come in and need a '70s outfit for a party of some sort and of course, for Halloween,” Fox says. From '70s outfits, to Mardi Gras beads, to thousands of Halloween costumes, this funs shop is just that… fun! [caption id="attachment_6629" align="alignright" width="200" caption="An ecletic collection at the Antique Mall"][/caption] While Easley’s has seen a shift in sales due to the current economic downturn, the Antique Mall, situated on the southeast corner of 7th Avenue and McDowell Road, has maintained a constant flow of shoppers over the past 18 years, since its doors first opened. Melissa Montgomery, a manager of the Antique Mall, attributes it to the fact that besides selling antiques, the store also sells secondhand, gently used products. With over 6,000 square feet of retail space, this antique mall is filled floor to ceiling, wall to wall with art from the pre-Columbian era, mid-century works and of course collectibles from more recent decades. “People are looking for bargains,” Montgomery says, “our numbers are actually up because resale sells.” Montgomery, who started out as an antique dealer, and has been working as a manager at the Antique Mall for a little over a year, says that 7th Avenue has been a wonderful location. “We pick up the traffic coming and going down 7th Avenue. We’re either the first stop on the way or the last, when heading on and off the freeway,” Montgomery says, referring to the close proximity to I-10. [caption id="attachment_6630" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="A vintage door at Sage"][/caption] While the Antique Mall offers items as low as $1, there are some things that can be on the pricier end, but it does not seem to dissuade patrons. Whether they are looking for a vintage, one-of-a-kind piece or an original VHS, the Antique Mall seems to have it all. While on a “boutique tour” down McDowell, a stop at Sage is absolutely necessary. If you're looking for inspiration for a home renovation, or to purchase a vintage stained glass door, Sage is sure to provide motivation. Many of the customers that visit Sage are willing to pay a bit more for pieces that are extremely unique to the store and to Phoenix. Sage is situated just down the street from the Antique Mall, and with an undeniable European/French feel, soft lighting and soulful music, Sage creates a wonderful atmosphere to shop and spend money in. From a vintage claw-foot bathtub to a 6-foot cross, Sage seems to fulfill the different niche the Downtown Phoenix community yearns for. Most of the items, while distressed, are in ready-to-use condition, making it even more convenient for patrons. And, similar to the Antique Mall, Sage also offers a nice variety of jewelry for someone looking to spruce themselves up. Easley's Fun Shop (509 W. McDowell Rd., 602.271.9146), the Antique Mall (539 W. McDowell Rd., 602.253.3778) and Sage (335 W. McDowell Rd., 602.258.3033) are all located within a half-mile walk from the Central/McDowell light rail station.]]> 6607 0 0 0 1727 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/19/sips-grub-mac-cheese-main-ingredient-ale/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:13:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6636 [/caption] To say that I was excited for this restaurant opening would be an understatement. I have been anxiously hearing through the grapevine that this place was about to open. And, Monday night arrived, in all of its splendor, to deliver unto the world (dun dun dunnnn) The Main Ingredient Ale House. Compared to Lisa G’s place (where The Main Ingredient now resides), it seems like there have been just a few tweaks to the interior. My experience leads me to notice the at-home feeling I had once I crossed their threshold. It’s cozy, but not too small. This is the perfect place to chill with a brew in hand (convenient, since that is what I will be doing most nights now). My ol’ reliable stomach was hankering for some exquisite cuisine. Apparently, if I was following my stomach, it was leading me to glory. At the jest of Courtney Diamond, one of the new co-owners, I ordered Mindy’s Mac ‘n Cheese. I realize it sounds odd to order a seemingly childish dish, but after eating this melty, cheesy bowl of amazingness, it should be at the top of your list every time you go. Blended and melted perfectly, Mindy’s Mac ‘n Cheese rocks the palate and takes a classic dish to new places. Flavored with just the right amount of green chillies, this might be the Main Ingredient's dish to beat. No trip to an “ale house” is ever complete or real without scouring its beer menu and judging accordingly. The Main Ingredient has several draft brews made close by at Four Peaks, along with one that seems to have been crafted just for the place — The Main Ale. This brew is a golden Sunbru-esque beer. It is refreshing and seems to combine the characteristics of my favorite types of beer, hefeweisen and blondes. Being a self-described beer elitist, this brew making my top list is a big win. If I hadn’t been attempting to try everything that they had on tap, I would have just ordered seven of these. So, welcome to the neighborhood, TMI. I could not be happier to have you here and will probably make you feel welcome by occupying space at your finely crafted bar at the end of most days.

There are too many empty office buildings, too many unfinished projects and too many tax increases and service cuts being discussed by state and local government. If small and local organizations want to make it through, they're going to need to help themselves. We can't wait for Phoenix to construct a better Downtown and we can't sit on our laurels for local politicians or corporate leaders to make good on urban promises they have been dodging for years. Enter CenPhoCamp. Organized by local activist Yuri Artibise and Tyler Hurst, CenPhoCamp is designed to allow small businesses to help small businesses. The afternoon-long camp will have three presentations per hour, with an accompanying roundtable session. The agenda will be written on a white board outside room 252. It will be set up along these tracks:

• Beginner: teaching those new to marketing about basic approaches
• Technology: offering instructions on the latest Web apps
• Community:  businesses enable their customers to be their best advertisers
• Roundtable: discussions led by industry experts

The event, free of charge and staffed by volunteers, isn't your typical conference. The camp designation signifies an "unconference" that encourages audience participation, leaving one session for another and break-out conversations based on material learned. The presenters should be thought of as conversation moderators, as they usually get as much out of the interaction as attendees do. Please register at cenphocamp.com/registration.

Glendale, AZ Five-star rating 12.28.09 Some might say that Phoenix is a city without much culture. That may be true in some aspects, however we have to remember that Phoenix is a young large city compared to other cities that lie within the United States. So you can say that this city is a work in progress on catching up with everyone's culture expectations. The Japanese Friendship Garden in downtown Phoenix is only seven years old. Very new to the park scene for this metro, I have to say that it looks great and will only keep getting better in time. That will happen if people stop saying there is no culture in Phoenix and become a part of the evolving city by visiting places such as this. The admission and/or donations will fund a more desired park for all. The grounds of the garden are very beautiful with a nice flowing stream, several waterfalls, coy fish, and many species of plants. I can't wait to go back in the next several years to see it become a wonderful masterpiece. The Japanese Friendship Garden is located at 1125 N. 3rd Ave. in Roosevelt — (602) 256.3204 The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core.

Good evening and welcome to the pre-event for tomorrow’s Downtown Voices Coalition Visioning Conference. You know, Downtown Voices was formed in a place just like this. As a matter of fact, if the Matador bar wanted to, they could create a new drink called the DVC. All you need is a shot of good tequila and a signature on an article of incorporation! What some may not realize is that Downtown Voices Coalition was the culmination of a chain of events that began with a move to bring a pro football stadium to downtown. As the art folks and small business owners got wind of the plan, they felt their work to make a new and interesting arts district was going to suffer with a giant stadium plunked in its center. Though the protests didn’t stop the demolition and razing of the Evans Churchill neighborhood by speculators and the City, it did manage to shine a light on the project, and successfully persuade the city officials to put the idea aside. For the first time, artists and small business folks started talking to each other. Then, the Jerde Project, a big box mall development, was floated as another direction for downtown. Ideas were being discussed for another ASU campus, and suddenly the University began as a player in the fate of the downtown community. The fledgling organization known as D-PAC, the Downtown Phoenix Arts Coalition, felt now was the time to get the other voices heard, ones that didn’t have political power or an outstretched hand looking for tax incentives and variances. The result was an event singular in the City’s history: A one-day facilitated discussion at the Icehouse of over 80 downtown stakeholders, to determine what WE as a group wanted for the future of downtown Phoenix. The resulting report created from the discussion was titled “Downtown Voices: Creating a Sustainable Downtown”. It was not only presented to the City of Phoenix, but also found its way into many of the aspects of the newly created Downtown Strategic Plan. On that day, when we all met and talked, new relationships were formed. Artists, business owners, developers and, yes, even city officials began to realize that the ultimate goal of the downtown stakeholders were actually very similar. However, as the dust began to settle from the good work done, development projects in once untouched and unwanted areas began to rise. We as stakeholders learned how zoning by variance and self-imposed hardships could dramatically change the development rulebook. A key group of stakeholders, coming from different backgrounds yet tied together with similar concerns, realized it would be beneficial to speak with one voice, the voice of what became the Downtown Voices Coalition. We met with a lawyer at the old Ramada Inn downtown bar, and with a toast, began our first mission and organization. Negotiating a better project for the Summit at Copper Square became our first test, and as we created our organization’s by-laws and elected officers, we found direction from that initial Downtown Voices document. It was a boom time, and it seemed many times we were playing Whack-A-Mole, that great carnival game where hitting one pop-up mole only made another rise. We found ourselves as a group both welcomed and disparaged. The tactics of “Agitate, Negotiate and, when all else fails, Litigate” brought us through a series of events with many successes and some sad losses. A Tibetan Buddhist Lama, whom when asked at a conference the definition Buddhism, replied “Divine Common Sense”. It is regular old commonsense that drives our group, and something else just as tangible. Dr. Howard Cutler has worked with His Holiness the Dalai Lama to write three books, The Art of Happiness, The Art of Happiness at Work, and The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World. In each book, the over-arching view expressed that people as a common goal ultimately desire happiness above all else. As I’ve worked with this group of fellow DVC members, I’ve come to realize that each member seeks the same thing: Happiness in their lives and in their community. There isn’t one member of DVC who wouldn’t want happiness above all other things. The desire is a better place to live, a better place to create sustainable businesses and a genuine dedication to staying here and making it a great city for all of us. An example of how different this sentiment can be expressed was in one particular issue, when a proposed out of scale development’s lawyer declared in front of City Council that he’d “never dealt with people who didn’t want to raise their property values.” The truth is, we represent people who aren’t moving toward the next buck or the next city, to which it’s more important to raise living values than financial values. Since 2004, new blood with new ideas have entered the downtown picture. Individuals are drawn to the small-town feel of the 5th Largest City in the Nation, great small businesses have enhanced neighborhoods, partners have been found in thoughtful development and the ASU Downtown campus is showing signs of like-minded goals for that sustainable, cool and enhanced downtown where we all will happily live, work and recreate. In these circumstances of a down-turned economy, it seems appropriate to take a breath, reflect a bit on the past, but, most important, look Forward. What is the City that we hope for? What have we achieved and what can we improve? How can we get more voices to speak as Downtown Voices so that together we can create that happiness we all desire? These are tomorrow’s questions, and the facilitated discussion we begin at 10 am tomorrow at the A.E. England building at OUR Downtown Civic Space will help to provide some answers. Tonight we reflect, remember old battles, good friends, vocal and silent partners. Tomorrow we begin anew and renewed, with new ideas and voices, to create a better Phoenix. I toast the future. To the City of Phoenix!

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the fourth floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 114 W. Adams St. in Copper Square Today's Orpheum Lofts are a prime example of 1930s Art Deco design — one of the extreme few structures still remaining in this architectural style in the city core. Converted into open, airy loft spaces in 2003, this building was hardly meant for use as living space. But, the exposed ducts, views of Copper Square, hardwood floors, brick walls and flexible floor plans makes this 11-story high rise one of the more desirable urban living spots in Phoenix. Originally named the Phoenix Title and Trust Building, it opened on January 31, 1931, being praised as the "most modern office building in the West." For years, the building housed two of the city's largest law firms, a bank and some ground-level retail throughout its 11 floors. It was the largest office building in Arizona for a number of years. But, as the retail vacated and the firms left, the building was left vacant for a number of years. Well preserved, it is a prime example of Art Deco design. The steel frame, with a façade of brick, stone, terra cotta and granite, remains completely untouched, with most or all of the original windows and frames still in place. Though the interior of the building has largely been reconfigured to accommodate living spaces (in most cases, stripped clean — walls were hacked down to expose the base-layer brick), with some new wood floors and updated fixtures, appliances and counters (granite) installed. Of note is the main elevator lobby off of Adams Street. It still features the original marble and decorative metal detail work (of note: the original mailboxes), a staple of Art Deco structures. The original stair rail, building directory, stamped metal doors and door frames and baseboards remain untouched. The 90 units in Orpheum lofts range from 712 to 1,800 square feet. Originally priced at $150,000 to $1.5 million, prices now vary.

No reason to risk disrupting the chemistry this squad built early on. I still stand by that, for the most part. Sure, if some team out there is willing to take Jason Richardson off our hands, I’d more than likely be all for it. Thing is, teams aren’t calling for JRich. I’ve heard lots of people say that it’s time we trade Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire, Grant Hill and just blow this team up. To me, that’s nonsense. I’m all for tweaking things; I just don’t feel it’s time for a complete overhaul. If you’re going to rebuild, you do so with draft picks. We don’t have a first-round pick this year, so we can’t afford to start rebuilding this season. If you’re thinking we acquire picks by trading Nash, Stoudemire and Hill, think again. The only way any of those three players get traded is if they get traded to a contender. So, even if we traded any of them for draft picks, it would be a late first rounder. Do you really want to trade Nash for the 28th pick in the NBA Draft? Yeah, neither do I. There’s still 39 games left in this season. That’s a whole lot of basketball to be played. Sure, we’ve slipped in the standings, but not by much. Only 3.5 games separate the Suns from the #2 spot out West, and only one game separates Phoenix from San Antonio and the 4 spot. If the Suns run off five in a row, we’re looking at home court in the first round of the playoffs. That’s just how bunched up things are out West right now, and the Suns are right in the mix of things. It’s way too early to throw in the towel. People are still going to say we need to make trades — mostly the same people that complain about the previous trades we’ve made in past years, but I’m a half-full-cup kind of guy. The four-game losing streak wasn’t all bad news. It did show us that Robin Lopez can produce. There’s always some good to be taken out of everything. So, basically, I’m just trying to say, relax, Planet Orange. We’re going to be just fine.]]> 6680 0 0 0 1741 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 1742 http://christophercoffel.blogspot.com 1741 169 1743 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 1747 http://christophercoffel.blogspot.com 1743 169 1750 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/22/insecure-critic-love-streets/ Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:05:58 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6686 Fez. As I was telling her about my short walk, I noticed that I knew the names of all the streets between the two locations, and that I had a pretty good idea of what was located on each. This is in stark contrast to the experience of visiting my friend in her comfortably cul-de-sac'd  neighborhood with one way in and one way out. My friend in Gilbert couldn't name any of the other streets within a block of hers, because there was rarely, if ever, a reason to drive on them. As long as she knows her way on and off of the arterial road (in this case it is euphemistically called "Drive") she is fine. I used to think that what made the city special was the convenience of walking to and from the coffee shop and bumping into my pierced, artistic friends who just happened to be there at the same time. In fact, what I realized is that one of the biggest distinctions between Downtown and the suburbs is the way you drive in them. When I come home to my place in the city, I can choose one of 25 ways to get to my driveway. There is a complete grid of streets from which I can chose the most labyrinthine combination of turns to get to my destination, if I want to. I can choose how I want to experience my neighborhood in my car. I can choose what businesses I want to drive past, which types of buildings I want to drive by and which coffeehouses I want to drop in on. In contrast, the suburban experience is all about control. Neighborhoods only have one way in and one way out. There is only one freeway exit within a reasonable distance of home. And, because you can only take arterial streets to get to your destination, you are cursed to drive past the same chain restaurants and stores that you would see on any other suburban arterial street anywhere else in the country. The suburban experience controls where you shop, where you drive, what it looks like. The suburbs tell you how you are supposed to experience your neighborhood. The controlled experience of the suburbs is especially ironic since suburbs were originally designed for the freedom of country living within the reach of city dwellers. Just the opposite has happened. The suburbs are restricted places, and the core of the city is liberated. Of course, of you already live Downtown, you know this. What I would encourage you to do is to take a different way home every day this week and experience your city the way people who live on streets with names like "Vista Del Mar" could never dream to.]]> 6686 0 0 0 1908 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/25/main-ingredient-dream-coronado/ Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:19:32 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6693 The Main Ingredient Ale House & Café, located in the 1939 bungalow that previously housed Lisa G Wine Bar & Café. [caption id="attachment_6740" align="alignleft" width="400" caption="Matt and Courtney Diamond made some subtle changes to the building, giving it added warmth. Photo by Si Robins."][/caption] The menu, which has absolutely nothing over $10 except for bottles of wine, primarily consists of sandwiches and salads that Matt describes as simple, yet very fresh. “If you’re going to do sandwiches and salads, they have to be fresh,” Matt says. “It’s got to taste like it’s right out of the garden.” Matt explains that he orders small quantities of the ingredients every day to ensure freshness. The Main Ingredient's menu includes several family recipes, such as Mindy’s Mac 'n Cheese, named after the dish prepared by Matt’s sister every Thanksgiving and Christmas. The macaroni is baked and loaded with cheddar cheese and green chilies. The salsa on the menu is also a recipe of Mindy’s. Although it is an ale house and there are eight different types of beer on tap (plus many more in bottles), The Main Ingredient has an inexpensive wine list that the owners consider to be almost as important as the beer. The food is meant to complement both, and mixed drinks can be ordered as well. Matt and Courtney’s menu also incorporates many products from local vendors that they are trying to support. Their dessert list features items from the Arizona Cheesecake Company in Chandler and Crave Artisan Ice Cream in Phoenix, their sandwiches and salads are made with tomatoes that are grown in Queen Creek at One Windmill Farm and their bread is from Capistrano’s in Tempe. The restaurant serves beer from Tempe-based Four Peaks Brewery and water from mountain springs in Sedona that is bottled up by the family-owned Arizona Bottled H20. Speaking of aiding the locals, Courtney says she and Matt hope the restaurant will become a neighborhood spot. “Our number one priority is to fit into the community and appeal to the Coronado district,” she says. “We want this to be their neighborhood bar.” Courtney says the people in the neighborhood are supportive of the restaurant, and she described the area as having “a lot of soul,” which is something that is incredibly important to her and Matt. “We feel strongly that the main ingredient of a restaurant is the soul of the restaurant,” Matt says. “It’s either there or it’s not.” Matt adds that the building already had the soul they were looking for. During their search for a place to open their restaurant, they hoped to find a red brick, free-standing building with a patio and a place to park. “We were willing to compromise on (the red brick) if we could get the other things, but when this place had everything we wanted, we just fell in love,” Courtney says. Not only are some of the couple’s favorite restaurants in red brick buildings, such as Pizzeria Bianco in Downtown Phoenix, but they also both grew up in red brick houses. Considering their likes and dislikes about other restaurants for inspiration, the duo decided to make the restaurant into a spot that where would enjoy hanging out. They wanted a place that feels like home to their customers. Since the building is already an old house complete with a fireplace, the Diamonds only had to add a few things to enhance the home-like atmosphere, including a couch they bought on impulse that fit perfectly without any measurements, a coffee table, a few flower centerpieces, photographs and artwork. “It’s almost like the house itself did the work for us,” Matt says. Another thing that is important to Matt and Courtney is that they be present at the restaurant as often as possible. “We really notice the difference when we go into places where the owners are there and they’re greeting you and serving you, and making sure everything is up to their standards,” Courtney explains. “This is the dream job,” she adds. “I’ m working somewhere that I want to be. It’s everything that I love and everything I’m passionate about.” The Main Ingredient Ale House and Café is located at 2337 N. 7th St. in Coronado — 602.THE.MAIN.]]> 6693 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/25/living-85006/ Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:16:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6699 [/caption] One of the things that makes Downtown Phoenix interesting is the presence of several residential neighborhoods filled with homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of those neighborhoods have been designated by the city of Phoenix as historic neighborhoods. The 85006 ZIP code, which is bounded by Van Buren to the south, Thomas to the north, 7th Street to the west and 24th Street to the east, is home to five historic neighborhoods, namely Garfield, North Garfield, Brentwood, Coronado and Country Club Park. Living in these neighborhoods puts you within close proximity to Downtown Phoenix itself, with all of its benefits, and springing up in many of these neighborhoods are small cafés, vintage stores, clothing boutiques, art galleries and an abundance of neighborhood/community interaction opportunities. [caption id="attachment_6716" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Coronado Historic District"][/caption] The wide variety of bungalows and Ranch style variations, offer homeowners many options for creating unique living environments. Not only is there a diversity of architectural styles in 85006, but there is also something for every budget, with 72 single-family homes currently on the market ranging in price from $20,000 to $487,000. [caption id="attachment_6717" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Country Club Park Historic District"][/caption] Although there has been an abundance of properties on the market and prices have fallen dramatically over the last couple of years, prices have recently leveled off somewhat and there is currently only a 4.4-month supply of homes in 85006, as opposed to a 17.3-month supply of homes in January 2008. If that trend continues, prices will start to rise again. If you are intrigued by the idea of living in Downtown Phoenix, this is a good time to explore the possibilities. Watch over the next few weeks for announcements here on DPJ about historic home tours coming up in February and March.

At least that is what my first thought was when clamoring through the front door. Plus, any place that adorns its walls with tiger faces must be amazing. Nestled up on Central Avenue just south of Thomas, this place is supposedly one of the premier Thai food destinations in the Valley. From the smells that had my nose tingling, I would agree. Honestly, I had not ever tasted Thai food until I moved out here. I suppose it is too racy for the South. Who knows. Anyway, I decided to wet my whistle with a signature drink. Considering that Wild Thaiger seems to think highly enough of a drink to christen itself the same name, my palate felt certain to be riveted. I felt that shocking my system with a little Tom Ka Gai was the perfect kick-start. Chicken soup in a light coconut broth sounds a little odd, but it absolutely rocked my gullet. Certainly the bar was set high for my imminent drink. Garnished with a Three Musketeers fruit salad (an orange and a cherry speared with a blue sword), this drink was definitely not the manliest drink ever. A creation of spiced rum, orange and pineapple juices, Wild Thaiger had the makings of something quite tasty. I don’t feel like it delivered on the high hopes that I had set in mind. Not that it wasn’t good, but shouldn’t something that you prize enough to name your restaurant after be absolutely breathtaking? Honestly, if I’m going to brave the insults that can be lofted at me for ordering a girly drink like this, my taste buds had better vacation in the land of splendor. I expected to hear an angel chorus erupt and a tear to cling to my eye. Did any of this happen? Nope. To be honest, I struggled a little to finish it off. From what I witnessed, you should definitely come here to have the food conquer your appetite, but maybe you should wait on their signature drink. The Wild Thaiger couldn’t drag me away… all right, I apologize but it had to be done. Wild Thaiger is located at 2631 N.

For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 409 W. Jackson St. in SoDo/Warehouse If you've ever stepped foot in the Icehouse, you know it's a relic from the Phoenix of old. The open cathedral entrance, grandiose in scheme, depicts the kind of early 20th century architecture that is rare form for Phoenix. Constructed in 1910, the building was first known as the Constable Ice Storage building (hence the name it was rechristened most recently). The loading dock of the building, now a functional outdoor space for filming and photo shoots, was the original loading point for trains and trucks transporting produce heading east. The site manufactured 300-pound blocks of ice, used to keep the mobile storage units cool. Jackson Street, right on the tracks, was the perfect location for such a facility. The building itself, broken up into several warehouse-sized rooms, is made of reinforced concrete. The pedimented temple front entrance (now known as the Cathedral Room), facing Jackson Street, is indeed part of the original structure. The structural piers on 4th Avenue remain in excellent condition. The building, converted for different uses over and over, retains its shell, which turns 100 this year. Though it was used for years as a storage facility for the Phoenix Police Department, it has been a transitional arts space since 1990. Hardly turnkey, the building is purposefully intended to be a blank canvas for artists, performers and clients to create their own vision.

Absolutely! The car sharing program is available at six locations around the Valley: Tempe, the West Campus, and one in Downtown Phoenix by Central station, which is the one I use. The service is quick and easy. especially when reserving a car using the iPhone app. I have a choice between two fuel efficient cars, however the Honda lacks zip. I'm convinced this car has hidden floorboard cutouts for feet pedaling a la Fred Flinstone. The hourly rentals are great for errand running, event transportation, or late night booty call. Here's where I get in trouble: I'm lazy, and sometimes run late. If you're not careful the service can suck the money out of your wallet. The Zipcar is typically less expensive than a taxi, until you start relying on the service too much. The first signs of Zipcar addiction? Frequent rentals, realizing your butt has not touched the seat of your bike in weeks and referring to the Zipcar as 'my car'. There's also a $50 fee on late returns. Signing up for the program will also cost you $75 dollars, give the application process a few days before you're able to reserve a car. Overall, I love the service and I'm giving it four stars only because I wish Zipcar had a loyal customer program for credits toward future reservations. My name is Tony and I'm a Zipcar addict.

Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble An' if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know These lyrics from The Clash describe how I feel about the current situation with All Star Power Forward/Center Amar’e Stoudemire and the only team he has ever played for, the Phoenix Suns. If he stays, he’ll have to agree to take less than the max. If he goes, he’ll more than likely get the max from some foolish team. If he leaves, there will be trouble, as there are still plenty of Suns fans that like him and would like him to remain a member of the Suns. If he stays, it will be double, as even more people think Stoudemire isn’t worth the max and it’s time for both parties to part ways. So, I’d like someone to come on and let me know, preferably sooner rather than later. If I had to guess now, I’d say the Suns will move Stoudemire before the February 18th trade deadline. Is this what I want? Not really. Do I understand where Phoenix is coming from? Yes. I’d love for the Suns to keep Stoudemire, but not if he won’t take less money. He’s simply not worth that. Originally, I thought Amar’e would be willing to play in Phoenix for less, however it’s not looking that way now. He has the tools to be a max guy, but he doesn’t bring it every night and that’s the frustrating thing. Amar’e will put together games where he gives you 25 points and 13 rebounds, but then there will be those nights where he barely cracks double figures scoring and pulls down three boards. If STAT expects to make the same as guys like LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, he needs to bring it every night. Last week, I defended keeping this team together. I said we shouldn’t blow things up. I still believe that, but I wouldn’t be against shaking things up, which we could do by dealing Stoudemire. The Suns just have to do things wisely. Don’t dump Stoudemire just for cash. Hold out until some team gives us the perfect combination of young talent, draft picks and cap space. If the Suns play their cards right, they can turn this Stoudemire situation into something special for the present and the future. Currently, we hold the ninth seed out West. Only a few games separate us from the fourth spot. If the Suns trade Stoudemire for someone like Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizards, we’d still have enough talent to make some noise out West. We don’t own our draft pick (it was part of a previous trade) for the upcoming draft, so I believe getting into the playoffs this year is essential. We can’t afford to give a young, upcoming team (Oklahoma City) out West a lottery pick. So, Steve Kerr, I beg you, do the right thing. Don’t talk to the Spurs, Bulls, Pistons or Cavaliers. They have nothing to offer that can help us now or in the future. Only listen to the Nets if they’re willing to either part with Brook Lopez or their first-round pick this year (unprotected!). Listen to Miami, Washington, Houston and Minnesota, but wait it out until one of them makes the perfect pitch. The Suns have plenty of options available to them. Hopefully, they choose the right one.]]> 6770 0 0 0 1754 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/01/29/iphone-portland/ Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:56:05 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6774 my recent post about why people move away from Phoenix to places like Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. I think the reason people move from Phoenix to these cities is because, like an iPhone, they just work. In Portland you just jump on the streetcar to get wherever you want to go in the central city. Need to go further? Hop on the extensive light rail system. Restaurants, bars, and shopping are all oriented around public transit and dense neighborhoods. It just works. In Phoenix, things are a bit more like the Android phone, iPod Touch, MiFi combo. Sure you can make it to a dense neighborhood, but that is a rare experience, and almost considered an oddity by those who aren't committed to the city's central core. Public transport connections outside of the single light rail line are sparse and unreliable. And don't even get me started about the light rail segment between Phoenix and Tempe, on which I am generally asked to disembark and get on the next train at least 30% of the time. Is this a standard Phoenix bitch session? Not at all. There is a charm to the Android ecosystem. It is complicated, it asks a lot of you and you feel clever when you master it. But, it is a hell of a lot easier to just get the phone that everyone has, that everyone has apps for and just works. The goal of a thriving Downtown in Phoenix should be to make our town an iPhone. Get businesses, people, leaders, kids, neighbors and friends talking about how we can make living, working and shopping Downtown an enjoyable experience.

The rising competition not only leaves patrons wondering if Phoenix might become a major coffee town, but also has business owners scratching their heads to come up with ways to drive business. Open mic nights are expected, and jazz nights are better saved for ill-lit bars. Even spoken word or poetry readings have become a staple at many coffee establishments. But Scrabble? That's where Urban Beans comes in. This Midtown shop, trying to find a niche since opening last fall, has opted to shake up the traditional brand of coffee shop activities. Monday night is Scrabble night at Urban Beans. Owners Virginia Senior and Kim Cristoff have been longtime recreational Scrabble players with their circle of friends, and the ritual has become a staple in the weekly events calendar at their business. "We just love playing Scrabble when we're together," Senior says. "You have an opportunity to play off of everyone else. The Scrabble board is the result of a group. There's a way to play offensively or there's a way to open up the board and let people play off each other." Senior says the Scrabble night is indicative of the type of vibe Urban Beans strives to promote. [caption id="attachment_6800" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Spell out the magic word on your Scrabble board and you may win something from the pastry case."][/caption] "We're about building community," she says. "This building is one of our projects. It's a new economy, a new time, a new age. People want to do the things they did two years ago for less money." Games are free to join, and though Urban Beans provides boards, patrons are welcome to bring their own. The games typically start at 7 p.m. and often last until the shop closes at 10 p.m. "It's a symbiotic relationship with the neighborhood. It's a gathering," Senior adds. To encourage neighbors to join in, Urban Beans offers incentives for those who play. Spell "coffee" in a game and you'll get a free coffee. The same goes for certain pastries and other menu items, depending on the staff's discretion. "We're trying to boost up the night and it's really had an effect, in my opinion," says barista Perry Czopp. "There's a lot of laughing, or screaming at times. It gets pretty competitive." The tradition started about three years ago when the group of friends went to Mexico for New Year's Eve. When they returned to the States the games continued, and the group would meet up once a week at someone's house to play. The game moved to Urban Beans when the shop opened as a way to keep the group together and help Senior's business. "It gave us a place to play and a way to support her," says Rachel Gesterle, a friend of the owners. "It gives us an excuse to get together." Urban Beans is located at 3508 N. 7th St. in Midtown, a half-mile east of the Central/Osborn light rail station — 602.595.2244]]> 6778 0 0 0 1881 http://jhilliar.personal.asu.edu/wordpress/?p=80 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/01/city-dwelling-movin-up/ Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:34:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6780 [/caption] One of the overlooked aspects of the recent home buyer's tax credits approved by Congress is the credit that is available for the "move-up" or repeat home buyer. Many people are aware of the up to $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, but there has not been a real concerted effort to let people know about the up to $6,500 tax credit available to buyers who sold their previous home and are "moving up." The law defines a tax credit-qualified move-up home buyer (“long-time resident”) as a person who has owned and resided in the same home for at least five consecutive years of the eight years prior to the purchase of the move-up home. Repeat home buyers do not have to purchase a home that is more expensive than their previous home to qualify for the tax credit. [caption id="attachment_6794" align="alignright" width="225" caption="Move up to this loft"][/caption] The homeowners who fall in to this move-up category, would have purchased their homes in 2002 or prior, which means they bought their homes prior to the real estate madness of 2005 to 2007 and probably made some money, or at least didn't lose money. For those who fall into this category, you have until April 30, 2010 to take advantage of this one-time tax credit. If you have lived in your current home for five of the last eight years, and are interested in moving up, time is running out to sell your home and make the move-up purchase.

Me too. What a coincidence. I have had that happen several times since I moved Downtown. Inexcusably, most of us shrug it off. I just did the most logical thing: turned into FEZ. This restaurant seems to do a lot of things well — make ridiculously delicious burgers, house an extensive bar selection and pulse house music… wait... is that a good thing? After spending the last hour enhancing my Adonis-like frame at the gym, I had a hankering for a good burger. So, my first thought was to hit up FEZ. I could almost smell the garlic rosemary fries as I paralleled the light rail en route to my dinner. Once I arrived, I was met in the parking lot with the familiar thump of the music that lie within. Upon being seated, I refused the menu and rambled off my order as if I had been practicing my lines in the car (possibly the truth, but I will plead the fifth). Then, the waitress posed the question that I did not know the answer to: What would you like to drink? Ha. In my haste to engulf the FEZ burger I had forgotten to think of what would cool my parched throat and complement my meal. Obviously, she had seen this before. I was pointed toward the notable martini selection. Now, I am not one to shrug off the suggestion of the waitstaff. I worked in the restaurant scene at one time, so I'm aware that most good staffers know what is good. At the mention of Feztini, I kindly obliged and knew that once I wrote about this evening, I would encounter some criticism. Now, there have been some extremely girly drinks reviewed/tested/enjoyed during my tenure at Sips and Grub, so this is not a new thing. In fact, I just quelled any anxiety by reminding myself that James Bond enjoyed several martinis in his day. Whew. This Skyy Vodka concoction — Skyy raspberry vodka, Chambord and a champagne float — was way pinker than I had pictured. Garnished with a sugared rim and a gummy worm, this is not a martini Bond would order, but it is velvety goodness. The fruit flavor is cooled in the alcohol. Every sip was righteously good. I’m thankful for my knowledgeable waitstaff. Apparently, my waitress knew exactly what to get with that signature burger. I'm not ashamed. Next time I'll just ask for two gummy worms.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 12.17.09 Am I really the first to review? Well, I feel honoured. The British honoured. I recently moved to the Downtown Phoenix area and during my search this is the place that really stuck out. Awesome location, new build, younger scene, and decent neighborhood. It is close to a lot of my favorite places. The Roosevelt, Lost Leaf, Sens, Matt's Big Breakfast. The list can go on and on. I have been living here for about a month now and don't have any complaints. I am in a studio apartment on the 3rd floor of the building. I have an awesome view of downtown straight down 3rd and the Westward Ho to the west. Being a new build I am the first to live in my unit, which is very nice. They are a very pet friendly building. Everyone seems to have a dog and they have two doggie clean up stations on the grounds. The pool is nice and open 24 hours. Heated also, but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. I have been using the fitness center. It is a little small, but they do have free weights, machines, and 6 cardio machines and a yoga room. There are spaces on the ground floor for live/work tenants. I believe only 3 or four of these are currently filled and hope some other businesses will move in there. Arizona Center is also directly across the street.

Though it may look younger than most 82-year-olds, this two-winged complex has been on site since 1928. Dubbed Fifth Ave Court (a rugged, Wild West-like sign still hangs over the peaked entrance today), it is one of the Roosevelt district's original apartment complexes. Remarkably, little has changed in eight-plus decades. W.A. Wells & Son was the contractor assigned to the job. In today's south Roosevelt, this part of 5th Avenue was hardly affluent back in those days, as the well-to-do tended to live further east near Central Avenue or further north near present-day streets like Lynwood, Wiletta and Portland. Though still close to the city center, Fifth Ave Courts were virtually suburban back when construction began. A one-story stuccoed brick residential structure — literally a court, with two wings forming an "n" shape around a common area with front entrances — Fifth Ave Court is a prime example of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style that was prevalent in the late 1920s in the area. Though a re-stuccoing and a paint job or two may have been necessary over the years, little else has changed. The original plans called for nine residential units (four in each identical wing and a larger central unit in the back), and it is so today. The 618 address is part of the south Roosevelt revitalization of the past decade, with several small apartment complexes getting fix-ups, as well as a number of historic homes and bungalows being rezoned for commercial use — just within one block there's Cibo, Local Breeze, the Allstate office and a number of law firms. And, at the time of this writing, there is a rental available in the building. With a location like this, it won't last long.

Sure, it's great to get a bunch of Downtown visionaries under one roof to recognize the important efforts each have made for Downtown to be what is it today. But, it's truly best to honor a few of the individuals that have been around the longest, seen the most and fought the hardest. That's where the DREAMRs come in. [caption id="attachment_6858" align="alignleft" width="202" caption="Don Keuth accepts the Public Sector/Non-Profit Individual award. Photo by Chris Holford Photography."][/caption] The DREAMRs "honor the individuals, projects and organizations that dare to dream and work to make those dreams come true." That may sound a bit vague, but the basic premise of the awards luncheon, presented by the Downtown Phoenix Partnership, is to recognize those that have "cleaned up" Downtown — wiped away the blight and replaced it with shiny new buildings, commerce and business-minded tenants and retail space. Downtown's skyline is changing (now, to focus on mid-rise affordable living!), and that deserves to be recognized. Keynote speakers Kimber Lanning of Local First Arizona and Matt Lehrman of ShowUp.com both urged the attendees to support locally owned businesses and explore all the hidden gems that Downtown Phoenix has to offer. After hopefully inspiring the room, the awards presentations got underway. Here is a recap of the day's winners. Private Sector Individual: Mike Ratner. Ratner owns Tom's Tavern, which has sat inauspiciously on Washington Street for 80 years. It has survived countless recessions, building booms and busts and many plans for the zero/zero block at Central and Washington, and it has survived because it gives combines elements so few places can — friendly service, comfortable atmosphere, quality food and good bargains. Ratner is hoping to see a spike in customers (and hours of operation) once CityScape's phases are up and rolling. Public Sector/Non-Profit Individual: Don Keuth. Keuth is the President of the Phoenix Community Alliance, which is responsible for a number of private sector advances in Central Phoenix. In short, PCA has helped our skyline grow, our infill projects sprout up and our streets get clean. With Keuth at the helm, the advancement will surely continue. [caption id="attachment_6857" align="alignright" width="175" caption="R. Neil Irwin accepts the Visionary award. Photo by Chris Holford Photography."][/caption] Organization: Phoenix Mercury. You can't argue that the Mercury is our most consistent franchise. Don't forget that they're the ones hoisting the championship banners, not the Suns, D'Backs, Cardinals or Coyotes. The Mercury has experienced steady growth over its 13 seasons in the WNBA, and the success is apparent. There are few other markets that can draw the kind of WNBA crowds the Mercury consistently does. Program/Project: Freeport McMoRan Center. It was once called Central Park East, but with Freeport McMoRan moving a bit north to occupy the new build project on Central and Van Buren, the glassy tower has established a true identity. Coupled with a forthcoming Westin business-class hotel, the building will further advance Downtown Phoenix's business reputation. "Unsung Hero": Frank Fairbanks. Fairbanks saw more than his fair share of blight during his two-decade tenure as city manager. He accomplished so much, most notably helping to revitalize Downtown Phoenix with ASU's Downtown campus, the Convention Center expansion and light rail implementation. It's safe to say the city core is a better place thanks to all of Fairbanks' efforts. Visionary: R. Neil Irwin. Irwin, an attorney by day, is the only chairman in the Downtown Phoenix Partnership's 20-year run, so his announcement to leave his post earlier this year is certainly a big deal. Irwin oversaw countless advancements in the organization and Downtown's revitalization, earning the DREAMR's highest honor.]]> 6853 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/04/suns-spot-el-dragon/ Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:15:02 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6855 [/caption]

“We had lost 18 in a row, it was kind of a curse, but [it] was a great win against Dallas. We played great on defense and on offense,” the second-year guard said. “Now we just have to keep doing these [things].”

From his rookie campaign a year ago to halfway through his second season, Dragic has made huge strides in his on-court productivity. “Last year was a little tough for me,” Dragic said. “Different culture, different people. The league is a little different than in Europe, so I needed a little bit of time to adjust.” And adjust he has, doubling his scoring average from 4 in his first season to 8 this year on an impressive 47% shooting from the field. More than raised stats, though, Dragic has a new swagger to his game, playing with a lot more confidence and even receiving crunch-time, fourth-quarter minutes on occasion. El Dragón, as some of his teammates call him because, as he says, “my last name is hard to pronounce,” attributes this progress to time spent with assistant coaches Dan Majerle and Igor Kokoskov and the added confidence he received when Alvin Gentry took over as head coach midway through last season. “Alvin gave me this confidence that I needed,” said Dragic. “Every time when I lose the ball, I was looking at the bench and I was nervous and he just told me, ‘Kid, forget all the bad things. If you’re going to lose the ball, if you’re going to miss the shot, just play your game.’ And really, that helped me a lot. This year I’m not thinking about missing the shot or if I’m going to make a bad pass. I’m just going to play my basketball.” Not only has he grown on the court, but he’s also grown fond of a city of which he virtually knew nothing about before his arrival. What little Dragic knew about Phoenix when he was drafted he learned from former Phoenix Sun Marko Milič, a fellow Slovenian player most famous for dunking over a car. When asked if he could dunk over a car, Dragic laughed, “Not me. Marko is a great guy. He can dunk. I remember, I was 8 years old when I saw that dunk.” Spending most of his free time hanging out with friends around the pool or taking in a movie (he recently saw Avatar, but not in 3-D, because as he mentioned, “it was sold out”), Goran appears to be liking Phoenix. “It’s awesome, I like the weather. In Europe, it’s really cold. The city is nice, the people are very nice. Now I know a lot of people, have some friends here... my cousin is here. So far, so good.” So far, so good, indeed, young El Dragón.

Dragic digs your tweets

A few of our faithful tweeps tweeted questions for Goran Dragic. We haven't quite convinced him to start tweeting (yet), but he was happy to answer the questions. @jose602: Any restaurants or places in Phoenix that you like to go to when you’re homesick? Dragic: “My mom is Slovenian and my father is Serbian. Here there is a lot of Serbian people. There was one Serbian restaurant called Nostalgia, but now they closed it. So, that was the only, how do you say, the only restaurant from my country.” @EnemyEny: Given your recent performance, what do you think of the Ricky Rubio to Phoenix rumors? Dragic: “Ricky’s [a] young player; he’s really good. He could be good in the NBA. I played against him last summer. [The Slovenian] national team played against Spain. I play really good against him, but if he’s going to practice hard, he’ll be a good player.” @pjspaws: What is the biggest difference between European basketball fans and American fans? Dragic: “Fans? Phew, lot of different. In Europe there’s more pressure from the fans. When we play in Serbia and Belgrade, sometimes after the game I have to have a towel over my head because they are throwing coins and all this stuff. It’s a little bit crazy, more intense. More pressure and everything... here in the NBA it’s a little bit different. Some teams have great fans. Golden State, Utah [and] our fans are great, but it’s a huge difference than in Europe.”]]> 6855 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/04/first-friday-grand-happenings/ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:19:41 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6885 Bragg's Pie Factory (1301 NW Grand Ave.), home to Fractal, Modern Cat and several other cool spots, is showing an exhibit of paintings and sculpture by local artist Luis Gutierrez in its main room facing Grand.

I'm not sure if it is the pressure from his upcoming primary challenge from local blowhard and intellectual broccoli J.D. Hayworth, or if he truly despises gay people, but McCain's reversal of opinion on the draconian military policy — in the face of every leader of the Armed Forces asking that the ban be lifted — is at best inexplicable, and at worst inexcusable. There's only one problem. As a person whose political and economic philosophy is somewhere between Ludwig Von Mises and Emma Goldman, I am completely opposed to the very existence of an organized coercive force like the military. I shouldn't be offended by a ridiculous opinion about a military that I don't really even think should exist. Yet somehow I am. Sure, I could wrap it all up in a bow of justification by saying that I see the change in the policy as a reflection of a general change in society to be more accepting of gay people. This is precisely how I found myself so unhappy with the results of gay marriage propositions in several states like Arizona and California, and happy with the results in places like Iowa. In my deep philosophical core, I don't believe that a coercive state should have the ability to place its imprimatur on any relationship, gay or straight, but I still see these decisions as a reflection of society's acceptance (or lack of acceptance) of gay people. This has turned so-called gay issues into a guilty pleasure. Not a guilty pleasure like listening to Lady Gaga with the sunroof open, but a sort of philosophical guilty pleasure — a chance to feel like I am part of a play that is taking place on a stage that I don't even believe should exist. I do the same intellectual tap dance every time I ride public transit. I absolutely love the convenience of getting on the train and taking it where I need to go. But, I can't help but think that every time I get on the train, I am actually pulling a couple of dollars out of the public till in the form of subsidies from the government that are required to keep the trains running. If it were up to me in my mad Austrian world, John Galt and I would form a private company to provide fast, clean transportation through the city at a market rate. Alas, that isn't the world I live in. Instead, I live in a world in which I get on a train that is paid for by the tax dollars of a family in Missouri trying to make a house payment on one income because a family member lost a good-paying job at a factory. Now that is an odd ethical dilemma for a single, financially OK, city-dwelling guy like me. Call it cognitive dissonance or just the ravings of a madman, but I have somehow figured out how to live out a few guilty intellectual pleasures while maintaining my sanity, and getting to Downtown without the need to drive through the First Friday hullabaloo.]]> 6906 0 0 0 1798 http://saint-rebel.com 0 0 1795 http://www.bondwooley.com 0 0 1796 http://chadswaney.com 1795 13 1843 http://downtowntphoenixjournal.com 0 9 1799 0 0 1810 http://chadswaney.com 1799 13 1811 http://chadswaney.com 1798 13 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/08/city-dwelling-2010-willo-home-tour/ Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:27:35 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6915 The 22nd annual Willo Historic District Home Tour & Street Fair will take place this year on Valentine's Day, Sunday, February 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Willo is one of the largest historic neighborhoods in Phoenix, with somewhere in the vicinity of 700 homes. With construction predominately taking place in the 1920s through the 1940s, Willo features a wide variety of architectural styles. Some of those styles include 1920s bungalows and 1930s Tudor Revival, Greek Revival, American Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival and Pueblo Revival homes. Post-Depression styles include French Provincial, Monterey styles and lastly, the good old Ranch-style home. Tour-day headquarters will be at 3rd Avenue and Holly Street. In previous years, you could enjoy live music, grab eats and drinks and check out many vendor booths all at this centralized location, so I'm assuming that's what will happen this year as well. You can purchase tickets in advance online and get more tour details here. The Willo neighborhood is generally bounded by Central and 7th avenues and McDowell and Thomas roads. There are currently 15 homes on the market in Willo, ranging in price from $225,000 to $710,000. For more information on the Willo Historic District, please see the district website.

While the bulk of this attention has focused on solar power, one local company is taking advantage of the sun’s energy in a different manner: geothermal power. [caption id="attachment_6964" align="alignright" width="384" caption="The Carter W. Gibbes historical home"][/caption] GeOasis has developed a unique solution to meeting the Valley’s home cooling and heating needs using the solar energy stored just below our feet. The temperature just below the earth’s surface remains a consistent 70º year round. By dispersing heat into or retracting heat from this steady source, geothermal equipment is not forced to battle with Mother Nature. In the winter, this heat is transferred through underground pipes, concentrated and delivered throughout the home. During summer, the excess heat in a home is removed and delivered back to the cooler earth, completing the cycle. By contrast, a conventional air-to-air system has to move heat from a home into an already high outdoor temperature. This is much less efficient than a geothermal system that is able to dispel heat into the 70º soil. One of GeoOasis’ first installations was an unexpected choice: a historic Tudor home in Central Phoenix’s Alvarado neighborhood, nestled behind the Heard Museum. The Carter Gibbes house was built in the late 1920s by owner Carter W. Gibbes and builder Neil H. Gates. Its design is strongly influenced by a combination of the English Tudor and French Chalet styles of the era. The house is listed on the city of Phoenix historic preservation site and the National Register of Historic Places. [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="336" caption="The application shown in the home's basement. This can alternatively use a garage or be a package unit on the roof."][/caption] The 12-room, 6,000-square-foot, three-story house could not be lived in during the blistering Arizona summers. Temperatures did not drop below 86º in the first-floor living areas, and soared well above 100º in the second- and third-floor bedrooms. The owner, Sid Rosen, considers himself a caretaker for the preservation of the historical house. Rosen has invested over two decades of time and effort to maintaining, restoring and preserving this piece of Arizona history, working with some of world’s leading preservation and renovation professionals. While he was able to retain the historical character of the house, including a unique slate tile roof, finding a sustainable way to cool it was another matter. Despite searching for years, and investing in top-of-the-line energy-efficient systems, Rosen was never able to achieve his goal of maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in the extreme heat of a Phoenix summer. In the spring of 2009, he found a solution when he met Bryce Johnson, CEO and founder of GeOasis. Since the installation of the geothermal hybrid system developed and installed by GeOasis, the Carter Gibbes house is now livable year round. Better yet, it has realized cost savings of over 65% compared to traditional cooling systems and with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Moreover, the installation of the system was done in a way that enhanced the historical characteristics of the house. "One of our foremost goals, apart from achieving the desired temperature reduction for the home and lowering the cost factor, was to not to disturb the home's original historic character and to remove all eyesores of prior energy systems," says Johnson. Rosen is now able to host his numerous and important charitable, civic, historical and social events year round, including his 70th birthday celebration, held just days after the system was installed in June 2009. In addition, he is happy to be a step closer to his ultimate goal of achieving national energy independence, through conservation and sustainable efforts. “GeOasis allowed me to reclaim my home during the hot Phoenix summer," Rosen says. "I feel good that I have reduced my personal energy dependence and am proud to be contributing to the USA's future energy independence."

Mesa, AZ Four-star rating 01.29.10 So, I just came from the grand opening, and am very impressed with the newest vintage shop in Phoenix. Although it is a small space, owner Jessica Carroll has laid it out very well and very resourcefully might I add. Who knew [a] 2x4 and screws could make such aesthetically pleasing displays? Named after Jessica's Pug, Blueberry, the storefront is red and white polka dotted and filled with absolute goodness. It offers vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories for women, as well as accessories screen printed tees, makeup, and tassels (yes nipple tassels) done by local talent. I scored an adorable hot pink number for Valentine's Day and leather cuff made by a local artist that completed my outfit for the evening. Prices are very reasonable and in some instances ridiculously low to the point you feel maybe you should inform them that they may have made an error. As for the clothing, [it is] mostly dresses, but she also offers 2 piece suits, tops and sweaters, and skirts. All of the garments are in impeccable condition and grouped in a rainbow spectrum which speaks to my soul. I wish Jessica the best of luck and definitely think she has something different to offer Phoenix shoppers with her eclectic mix of vintage and handmade items. Blueberry Deluxe is located at 702 W.

Each one dons its own style and boasts the challenging phrase, “Some Like it Hot.” Now, I know what you are thinking, 'I can handle a little heat. In fact, nothing is too spicy for me. Bring it on.’ Easy there, buckaroo. Back in the South, when we would eat food this hot and go running to Mama, she would slap a spoonful of buttered grits into our crying mouths to cool us off. So, folks, this is some seriously hot stuff. I nearly called my mama. Right off the bat, they bring out some chips and salsa — pretty standard. But, let me remind you that included in the cute little history of this place on the menu is the phrase, “I do not know how to make 'Mild.'" Those quotations suspended there just represent how fictitious the heat index of “mild” is. There are two bowls — one with a “less spicy” green salsa and the other with a frightening dark red salsa. I’m pretty sure I had to take a gulp of water after I looked at it each time. When my meal arrived, there was a current of air that wafted the exquisite smell up my nose and placed loving/spicy tears in my eyes. By this point, the salsa had numbed most of my face, but I was willing to dive into this plate. These country-style pork ribs were some of the softest I have ever had. Literally, they cut like butter. They melted in my mouth. Yes, they were marinated in New Mexican red chili. Yes, a tear ran down my face with each bite. I like to think they were primarily tears of joy for what I experienced, mixed with my body’s reaction to hot food. I ate every bite of those ribs, and I have two words to describe them: Fantastamazing sauce. If Los Dos Molinos started a religion, I would convert primarily for the after-service dinners. If you have yet to experience one of the greats here in Phoenix, then you are missing out. Just be sure to have your buttered grits ready. Los Dos Molinos is located at 1010 E.

Buchanan St. in SoDo/Warehouse The stretch of Buchanan Street south of US Airways Center — between Central Avenue and 4th Street — is virtually deserted most times of the day, save for a few residents trickling to and from the Stadium Lofts building. A block to the east of those condos, a small, abandoned brick storefront sits, all but forgotten, its expansive parking lot fenced in and topped with razor wire. Most people probably drive by it in a flash and don’t even notice it. Granted, the structure is small, but back in the 1890s, it was one of Phoenix’s impressive and well-lauded commercial buildings. The building is the former E.L. Fresnal Grocery Store, built c. 1890, even then one of Phoenix’s original commercial structures. Today, it’s one of the oldest buildings in Maricopa County. If you stop to marvel at the Fresnal Grocery, a few key design elements are still apparent. It features a false front design typical of territorial architecture of the era. The all-brick structure was built in two phases. The original phase — the larger of the two building sections — has a gabled roof and stepped parapet. This part of the building features the false front with two arched openings (in actuality, most patrons probably entered from the back of the building away from Buchanan Street, now facing the vacant parking surface). The smaller addition, probably built shortly after the original section, has a flat roof, a similar arched entranceway and a corbelled cornice.

Amar’e Stoudemire won’t be traded as a salary dump.

Will the Suns finally give in and trade STAT? I have no idea, but they definitely won’t trade him just for expiring contracts. In the last day, we’ve heard rumors saying the Suns would more than likely stay pat and rumors saying Pat Riley and the Heat are pushing hard for Stoudemire. So, I have no idea what to make it of it all, but I do know Steve Kerr will at least get something of value. Despite the fact that most Suns fans are now on board with the idea of trading Amar’e, there would definitely be riots in Downtown Phoenix if Amar’e is traded for another team’s garbage. I fully expect that if the Suns do the pull a trigger on an Amar’e trade, they will receive at least one young talent, an expiring contract and a first-round draft pick, and at this point we couldn’t really ask for more.

The Suns will make the playoffs.

Currently, the Suns sit as the number six seed out West in a very tight playoff race. That’s right about where most people thought the Suns would be this year. Things are awfully jumbled, though. Phoenix could easily move up to the number two spot, but just as easily they could slip to number 11. I see this team finishing five or higher. The Suns have really picked up their play as of late, winning five of six before the All-Star break (the one loss coming Wednesday night to Portland). Robin Lopez has been a huge factor in the middle since starting and Channing Frye has finally recovered his touch. Couple that with the ever-growing confidence of Goran Dragic, the scrappy play of Jared Dudley and Lou Amundson and the mind-boggling numbers being put up by veterans Steve Nash and Grant Hill, and I guarantee this team will stay in the middle of the playoff race, even if Stoudemire is traded.

Steve Nash will win the skills challenge.

No way Nash loses this. Participating in the skills challenge in the city whose team owner said Nash was too old to play at a high level (six years ago)? How could Nash possibly lose this? MVSteve is definitely going to stick it to Mark Cuban, no doubt in my mind. So, there you have it. These are a few of the things I expect to see over the last two-and-a-half months or so of regular season play. Will they all happen for sure? I don’t know, but you can’t prove they won’t happen, unless of course you read this blog in May.]]> 6958 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/11/time-willo-home-tour/ Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:11:02 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6960 This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with Willo. That’s the motto for the 22nd annual Willo Historic District Home Tour and Street Fair that will take place this Sunday, February 14. [caption id="attachment_6973" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Photo by fleurtphotography"][/caption] The tour, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., provides an opportunity for people to explore the historic neighborhood of Willo, located between Central and 7th avenues and McDowell and Thomas roads. The neighborhood includes homes dating back to the early 1900s, and the tour will feature 10 homes of a variety of architectural styles ranging from bungalows to Tudors to Ranches. The Phoenix Fire Department also opens its historic firehouse to the tour every year. Willo district president Brad Brauer has lived in the neighborhood since 2004 and says the feeling of being part of a community is what makes Willo a great place to live. He describes the residents as a “very close-knit group” who “care about where they live.” However, you don’t have to be searching for a home to attend the tour. Brauer says it is a fun, inexpensive way for anyone to spend their day. “It’s a chance to look back in time at homes that we’re not building anymore,” Brauer says. “They have a lot of character to them and it’s also nice to see what people have done to them over the last 50, 60, 80 and almost 100 years, and kind of get some ideas for your own homes.” If you’ve been to the event before, you’ll still enjoy this year’s tour, since none of the 10 homes have been displayed for the last three years. Residents are required to wait a minimum of three years before signing up for the tour again so that it “doesn’t become stale,” Brauer says. Brauer says participants can expect a “good vibe” at the event, and people of all ages can enjoy it. In addition to a tour of the homes, there is also a street fair at Walton Park where 101 vendors will sell products such as food, beverages, handcrafted goods and artwork. A local band, Fall Away, will be performing throughout the day. According to Brauer, about 3,000 people buy tickets for the tour and another 1,000 simply go to view vacant homes for sale or attend only the street fair. Tickets are $13.75 online and must be purchased before 1 p.m. on Saturday. They are $15 the day of the tour and can be purchased at 3rd Avenue and Holly Street beginning at 9 a.m. Children 12 years and younger are free when accompanied by a paying adult. The money raised from ticket purchases goes directly into Willo, Brauer says. For those driving, parking will be available within Willo and at the parking garage on the corner of 1st Avenue and Holly Street. For those taking the light rail, Willo is easily accessible from the Encanto Boulevard and Central Avenue station. Free vintage trolleys will be provided throughout the day to help participants get from house to house.]]> 6960 0 0 0 5266 http://locallilly.com/2011/02/28/willo-home-tour/ 0 0 5323 http://mericanhomes.com/blog/?p=152 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/15/community-building-two-wheels-rusty-spoke/ Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:24:20 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6977 Rusty Spoke bike co-op. And, as the name implies, it's all about bikes — but not the kind you find adorned with a bow on your birthday. [caption id="attachment_7011" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Rusty Spoke is open Sundays at fractal"][/caption] The co-op is based on a simple idea: Teach people how to fix or build bikes by themselves. "We provide them with the tools and resources, with the parts and the knowledge that we have," says Ben Toczek, one of the co-founders of Rusty Spoke. The program gets some financial backing from Bike Saviours in Tempe, but is based almost entirely on donations. The shop has some bikes that are more or less complete, but the majority of the materials are old parts brought in by people – be it staff or interested residents. "It's definitely about recycling," Toczek says. The organization is entirely volunteer based. It began over a year ago when Toczek and co-founder Nathan Leach were inspired by bike co-ops like Bikes Saviours. Spawned from a mutual love for bikes, the two decided to embark on a similar endeavor in Phoenix. Later, Toczek's girlfriend, Amy Stewart, came on board, and the idea became a reality. "Bicycles are unique in Phoenix because it's a really important form of transportation," Leach says. "It's empowering." He notes that bicycles are a particularly significant form of transportation for low-income families and the homeless population in Phoenix. These people might not necessarily have the money or time to spend at a bike shop, which is where Rusty Spoke steps in. "It's sustainable transportation. It promotes local community. It automatically has you doing things locally," Leach says. [caption id="attachment_7014" align="alignleft" width="169" caption="A boy works on a bike he built the previous week"][/caption] Zack Newsome, one of the co-founders of fractal, where the co-op is located, has a similar mindset. "Phoenix is synonymous with the automobile," Newsome says. "The majority of people who live here can't imagine living without their cars.  But, being so tied to our automobiles has an effect on the city and people we're becoming. We're isolated, alone and often bored in our suburban neighborhoods. The bicycle as a transportation option allows us to be more present in our city." The original Rusty Spoke was located in a house on 5th and Roosevelt streets. But, the space was less than ideal. All work was done outside, allowing for bikes and parts to rust. Eventually, Toczek was approached by Newsome to move into the space. Rusty Spoke relocated, and has been there for about a month. "Our nonprofit, communitasPHX, looked into starting a community bike shop a year or so ago, but before we could, we discovered that the Rusty Spoke was already doing it," Newsome says. "Instead of starting our own version, it made way more sense to help their existing efforts. It was a pretty easy decision for us." Being Downtown in general allows Rusty Spoke to capitalize on the environmentally friendly, local-first movement that has swayed residents. But, it also promotes understanding and communication between the different types of people who call Downtown home. "I've always told them that I love the vision of a hipster working on their fixed-gear bike alongside a homeless guy tinkering on his mountain bike," Newsome continues. "I hope that this time spent with us at fractal will give their organization a shot in the arm to take what they do to new levels." Rusty Spoke is located at fractal, 1301 NW Grand Ave. It is open every Sunday from 12-6 p.m.]]> 6977 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/12/favorite/ Fri, 12 Feb 2010 07:13:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=6978 info@downtownphoenixjournal.com and we will send you the list of destinations mentioned here in one handy guide.

That not only applies to the types of homes and living environments, but also to the commercial sector. The actual boundaries of this ZIP code are 7th Avenue on the east, 19th Avenue on the east, the Salt River basin on the south and Thomas Road on the north. On the commercial side of things, you have old warehouse buildings along both sides of the railroad tracks, just west of 7th Avenue, from Jefferson to Lincoln streets, which are currently being used for both industrial and artistic purposes. You may have read here at DPJ recently about the .anti_space Gallery relocating to this area. Moving west along the north side of the railroad tracks, you have the CASS Shelter.  Going further west and slightly north is the state government complex, including our State Capitol building. Continuing north, you arrive at the infamous Lower Grand Avenue, which is emerging as an artistic and vibrant corridor featuring art galleries, cafés (including Sapna Café and the Paisley Violin) and a variety of creative and entrepreneurial businesses. On McDowell Road, you can get a coffee, Asian food or a cocktail, all at the corner of 7th Avenue where Starbucks, Pei Wei and SideBar all reside. Traveling west on McDowell, you will encounter the Arizona State Fairgrounds. Finally, heading north on 15th Avenue, you can enjoy the very large and beautiful Encanto Park and even play a round of golf at the Public Golf Course at Encanto Park. After finishing your time at the park or on the links, you can stroll over to The Original Hamburger Works, a great Downtown burger shop and pub. As far as living in 85007 goes, there are a wide variety of choices, with eight different historic neighborhoods, an ultra-modern condo complex (PRD 845) and a variety of apartment complexes. Adjacent to and just south of Grand Avenue, the Oakland and Woodland Historic neighborhoods represent the most affordable opportunities for someone to live in a historic district in Phoenix. Some homes in the Woodland neighborhood date back to the early 1900s. Just to the north of Grand Avenue, straddling both sides of I-10, is the F.Q. Story neighborhood, with 602 homes dating from the late 1920s and spanning a variety of architectural styles, including Spanish Colonial Revival, English Tudor, Craftsman bungalows and Transitional Ranch. [caption id="attachment_7064" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The Paisley Violin"][/caption] Between McDowell and Thomas and 7th to 17th avenues, wrapped around three sides of Encanto Park, there are five historic neighborhoods, including Encanto-Palmcroft, Encanto Vista, Fairview Place, Del Norte Place and Margarita Place. These neighborhoods feature homes built from 1920 to 1953. Encanto-Palmcroft is the most notable of these neighborhoods, being a past home of  U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Renquist. Delving into each of these neighborhoods or districts is obviously not possible in one brief blog posting, but hopefully this gives readers a basic overview of some of the things happening in 85007 and what some of their living options may be.

DPJ extends its own form of hospitality by providing a little Conventional Wisdom — some insight into what Purina Mills expo-goers can find/view/sip/snack on while visiting Downtown Phoenix. In town February 16-18, 2010 — Purina Mills, LLC Let DPJ be the first to welcome you to the neighborhood! Looking over your itinerary, we can’t help but notice you’re going to have some free time to explore the heart of our fair city. Weather report Average high: 77° Average low: 52º Local culture The Melrose District on 7th Avenue north of Indian School Road is 1-mile stretch rich with boutiques and eclectic restaurants, many of which welcome your furry friends and your pets. The Melrose District is a quick walk from the Central/Indian School METRO light rail station and from Steele Indian School Park. Qcumberz is an antique junkie's paradise, but go with a searcher's spirit. Each room is jam packed with furniture, books, artwork, knickknacks, cookware and beyond. Across the way is Paris Envy, a charming shop filled with French and French-inspired antique and reproduction household items. You'll find lots of frill here, but substance, too. Other spots to check out are Flo's on 7th, Retro Ranch, Hollywood Regency Vintage and Fig's Home and Garden, just to name a few. For more on these shops, check out "Get Your Boutique On: Melrose". Dinner All that shopping is bound to work up a mighty appetite. Enter Harley's Italian Bistro, a restaurant that has been a Phoenix tradition for nearly 60 years. The staff here will make you feel right at home, whether you are a regular or it's your first visit. At Harley's you will find generous portions of fresh, made-from-scratch sauces, pastas, hand-tossed pizza and homemade cannoli and tiramisu. Harley's also has a small patio out back where pets are welcome to stay at your side. If you're craving lighter fare, directly across the way is Copper Star Coffee, a renovated gas station turned café, and self-proclaimed "Sandwich King of 7th Ave." Here, enjoy an iced cappucino (yes, they make such a thing) with a side of free wi-fi on one of the many couches or community tables. Phoenix dinner options span across many regions and continents, and locally grown dinner options are on the rise in Downtown Phoenix, with even more options if you hop on the METRO light rail. Breaks/lunch/nightlife Check out The Turf Irish Restaurant and Pub, where "there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met." Serving an array of cuisine, from classic Irish fare to steak sandwiches and handmade wraps, there's something for every palate. Stay for a pint or two at the bar, at $5.50 a pour. Unwind after a long day at the conference by enjoying live music on Thursdays and Fridays. Getting around RailLife.com’s quick METRO light rail tip: The light rail line splits heading south into one-way streets at Roosevelt station (Central/Roosevelt) — 1st Avenue heads south, while Central Avenue goes north. When the line heads east, you'll be traveling along Jefferson Street. When going west, it's Washington Street. These one-way streets converge at 26th Street.

Natalie Morris was recently one of only 50 students (out of over 1,000 worldwide) admitted to the school's Master in Food Culture and Communications program. This opportunity will allow Natalie to study in the birthplace of the Slow Food movement, and learn directly from its founder, Carlo Petrini. Morris, a Valley native, has long been an advocate for local food and has become a fixture at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market and the recently opened Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. Morris' great accomplishment is bittersweet for the market. While they will be losing her for a year, they take comfort in knowing that her talents have taken her to a prestigious academy. In addition, they know Morris will return with knowledge that will benefit the Valley’s local food movement for years to come. “I have purposefully dedicated my time and career to maintaining this way of life," Morris says. "I truly believe that I play a beneficial part in our producers’ futures by actively supporting them. Receiving my degree in food culture under the guidance of Slow Food will submerse me in understanding the artisan and craftsmanship that is key to our earth’s future in sustainability and profitability. With this degree and information learned, I hope to be able to return to Phoenix to impart my knowledge of food security and biodiversity and promote those farms and ranches who actively live by these standards.” Alas, studying aboard comes with a hefty price tag, but one that is well worth the benefits to not only Morris herself, but to Valley chefs, farmers, ranchers and food aficionados as well. To help with Morris’ tuition and living expenses — and to celebrate her accomplishment — two fundraisers are being held.

This first event, and one of interest to most DPJ readers, will be held on Sunday, February 21 from 5-8 p.m. inside the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. The event will feature favorites of the Downtown Phoenix dining scene, including PastaBAR, The Breadfruit Authentic Jamaican Grill and the market’s own Chef Elizabeth. The event will feature locally sourced food from Valley producers Maya’s Farm, Seacat Gardens, Double Check Ranch, The Meat Shop and Petit Fromage. A number of Arizona winemakers will provide tastings, including Dos Cabezas WineWorks, Pillsbury Wine Company and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards. For beer lovers, Prescott Brewing Co. will also be on hand. In addition, local band Wizards of Time will perform outside. Tickets for this event are available for $35 through Eventibrite.

Reservations are $75 per person, and can be made by calling the restaurant at 480.425.9463. Reservations are limited. The Urban Grocery and Wine Bar is located at 14 E.

The smell of grease clung to my lungs as I lofted my nose in the air to embrace the deep-fried aroma. I pinched myself repeatedly until it welted to prove to myself that I was experiencing this sweet voyage back to my homeland.

[caption id="attachment_7116" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Chicken and waffles, before"][/caption] Once I was seated, it was hard not to laugh when they actually asked what I wanted to eat and drink. My mind could not wrap itself around the fact that there were other choices. Literally, they could just seat me with an order of said chicken and waffles and it would save time and precious words. The menu does list several items that totally vibe of Grandma’s cuisine — collard greens, fried okra, cheese grits, side of gravy, string beans and red potatoes and, of course, red velvet cake. First to arrive was my delectable sweet tea. I admit that a tear clung to my eye like Sylvester Stallone clinging to cliffs. It was perfectly mixed for this Southern boy (in other words, it was so sweet that normal people would instantly perish from the amount of sugar injected into their systems). To make it even more endearing, it was served up in a classic mason jar. There is no better way to serve beverages ever. Period. As if delivered from rays of sunshine floating down onto the table, my chicken and waffles arrived. I would lay out in detail how everything tasted, but the next moments are rather fuzzy in my mind. It is a blur of chicken wings and slathered syrup. I do remember that the waffles tasted like homemade, fluffy amazingness. And, when they were combined with a bite of chicken, I lost consciousness. It could have been the food coma that I was subjecting myself to, or the blatant presence of perfection in each bite. Perhaps both. The world may never know. [caption id="attachment_7117" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Chicken and waffles, post destruction"][/caption] I do highly recommend that you allow your palate to encounter the majesty that is Lo-Lo’s. My hope for you is that you are swept away into a world where overalls and bare feet are acceptable attire and the perfect cuisine can destroy your New Year’s resolutions. I now must go so I can become mayor of this wonderful land of Southern dreams. Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles is located at 10 W.

The Rosson House is no different. Built in 1895, the Rosson House is one of Phoenix's original homes, and it is one of the only remaining examples of a brief Victorian architectural influence that swept into (and quickly out of) town in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Perhaps the most striking building in Heritage Square (not to downplay the Science Center's monolithic presence or the Teeter House's understated charm), the Rosson House is now a museum dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of Heritage Square and the house itself. Specifically, the museum focuses on the period of 1895-1915, when architect A.P. Petit was drawing up plans for structures that quite simply didn't skimp on the details — ornate structures with soaring cupolas, hand-carved detail work and a great variety of materials. The Rosson House is his only remaining structure. Dr. Roland Rosson was the original owner of the home, and at one point in time he was the mayor of Phoenix. After his time with the city, Dr. Rosson began to summer elsewhere and rented the home for half the year to National Herald Tribune editor Whitelaw Reid. Over the years, the home also became known as the Whitelaw Reid House, but that alias has largely been forgotten since the home became the Rosson House Museum. Reid summered in Phoenix, but another one of his homes in Ohio is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well. The Rosson House was officially placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The Rosson House is available for tours. See its website for full details, or call 602.262.5070.

Schwartz Laser Eye Center will go out of business.

I’m not sure why this hasn’t been talked about yet, but nobody would be affected more by a Stoudemire trade than Dr. Jay Schwartz. Stoudemire has been putting the Schwartz children through college. I’m not just talking about the recent eye problems Stoudemire has had, either. Since arriving in Phoenix back in 2002, he’s been paying visits to Dr. Schwartz. Many people may not realize this, but STAT was legally blind (or at least close to it) in one of his eyes early on in his career. Schwartz fixed that right up. Then, of course, there’s the infamous torn retina that Stoudemire suffered last year. I don’t know how much these different eye procedures cost, but I’m sure those are funds that Dr. Schwartz would hate to lose.

Stoudemire’s Downtown will become Taylor Griffin’s OK BBQ.

This one could happen even if Stoudemire doesn’t get traded with the way the restaurant has performed up to this point. Clearly, paying a big-time athlete to use his name as the name of your restaurant hasn’t helped, so why not let bench-warmer Taylor Griffin take it over? He needs to do something while he’s in Phoenix. Do I have any proof that he can cook? Nope. Do I have any proof that he likes to cook? Nope. Do I have any proof that he has any desire to have a restaurant named after him? Nope. I do know that he’s from Oklahoma, though, so naturally I assume he knows a mean barbecue. Who wouldn’t want to get some barbecue ribs or chicken and corn on the cob before or after a game? I know I would. I know Kenny Bump would be all over this! Mr. Griffin, what are you waiting for?

Young kids in Arizona will go blind.

You’re probably really confused by this one, so let me explain it to you. Kids in Arizona hated wearing protective eye wear. Can you blame them? They mostly look horrible and are a surefire way to encourage bully attacks. A kid wearing glasses is definitely uncool, and said kid never has any lunch money. Wear glasses and want to play sports? You’d get picked on more for wearing hideous goggles. That all changed once Stoudemire began to wear his goggles on the court and his nifty Weezer-esque glasses off it. Now it’s suddenly hip to wear glasses. All the cool kids are doing it. So, what happens if Stoudemire leaves Phoenix? Kids resort back to their old ways. They stop wearing their glasses and start running into things. They get poked in the eyes. Basically, they all go blind. Can Robert Sarver sleep at night knowing he is personally responsible for causing every young child in Arizona to go blind? I know I couldn’t. So, there you have it. If Stoudemire gets traded, our doctors go out of business and our kids go blind, but we do get a better restaurant. I guess one out of three ain’t bad.]]> 7137 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/02/18/third-friday-roots-ridiculous/ Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:58:41 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7140 [/caption] Though the nexus of First and Third Fridays is typically at the corner of 5th and Roosevelt streets, it's easy to get sensory overload and lose sight of some great art right under your nose. With the hectic level turned down a few notches on Third Friday, now is the time to check out one of Downtown Phoenix's most consistent venues and its budding stars. five15 arts never skimps on an art show, and this month's show is no different. Cecilia Sandoval's "From Roots to Ridiculous" is a bold yet simplistic take on a childhood game that left a lasting impression. “When I was young, my brothers and I played a game with my father where we’d pass around a sheet of paper, make a scribble, either make a drawing out of it or add a scribble and pass it to the next person," Sandoval recalls. "It was a fun game and it allowed for the imagination to run wild. With this body of work, I have attempted to recreate this process to find unplanned imagery.” The fun Sandoval had creating this project is evident in the final products: bright, swooping layers of charcoal and oil paints on hardwood, resulting in imagery you'd think only a child's mind could recreate. Maybe Sandoval has some further inspiration: After studying design in Italy, Switzerland and Germany and receiving a painting degree from ASU, Sandoval is experiencing the joys of being a new mother. five15 arts (602.256.0150) is located at 515 E.

The tour will feature two firsts, namely the first home tour ever in the Brentwood Historic District as well as the first time a historic Brentwood church is open to the public. The Church of God in Christ will generously open its doors to the public and display its recent renovation and preservation efforts. Built by the Church of Latter Day Saints and now home to the largest African-American church in the state, this majestic building conveys much cultural, religious and architectural significance. [caption id="attachment_7190" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Historic Church of God in Christ in Brentwood"][/caption] The tour will be a walking tour of a single block with free parking at the church. The street will be blocked off and tour participants will enjoy music, food and craft vendors and check out some vintage cars. In addition to showing off their homes, Brentwood homeowners will share some of their personal stories of perseverance as they transformed neglected houses into beautiful homes. A portion of each tour ticket sold will go toward renovating Virginia Park, a small neighborhood park also in the GCNA at 15th Street and Virginia Avenue. Tour headquarters will be at 18th and Willetta streets, just south of McDowell. You can buy tickets there on tour day or buy in advance online.

If you have not gone there yet, I must ask if you have a pulse or happen to have been stranded on a desert island for the last decade (don’t laugh, it happens — just ask Tom Hanks). The ambiance and overall chill factor make this place a great place to work, talk, indulge or just spend the afternoon. You might even see some local celebs — like Si Robins, Beverly Kidd or Chris Bianco — if you are lucky. The fact that the staff is so attentive and good at what they do just amplifies their staying power. Upon entering after about your third time, you are almost guaranteed to be greeted by name. They recognize my order a mile away. A velvet (their mocha) and the latest pastry to grace the counter. What can I say. I’m predictable.

On this trip, Lux outdid itself. The velvet is arguably my favorite mocha in town. It is always prepared the exact same way — splendiferous. Creamy and piping hot, there is no denying that this milk chocolaty dream is too good to be true. Each sip is like diving into bliss.

I move on to the crown jewel of the evening, the angel food cake. To mortalize this sugary spectacle by calling it "good" or even "great" would be a slap in the face to its true taste. Every soft, lemony bite was better than the last. The blackberry glaze actually reminded me of the fresh-picked blackberries that my grandmother uses to make her famous blackberry preserves. It made me tear up. Geez, I tear up a lot over food. Don’t judge me. If the title of this entry or its contents reminded you at all to go to Lux today, consider that I did you a giant favor. Don’t worry, though. You can pay me off with a velvet or a slice of cake. Lux is located at 4404 N.

This place is a small shop specializing in music and old school candy. They are nestled between The Trunk Space and The Bikini Lounge.

Good selection of yummy candy like squirrel nut zippers (a chewy, nutty candy), lemon heads, cherry heads, bubble gum cigrars and cigarettes. They also have a selection of books, t-shirts and novelty items. Definitely check Sweets & Beats out. It's a great addition to the downtown area and it's owned by two wonderful people.

[caption id="attachment_7221" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="The view of the Kenilworth School from Hance Park"][/caption] It's impossible to miss from several thoroughfares — 3rd, 5th and 7th avenues and I-10, in particular — the massive Neoclassical building teetering on the edge of the former Kenilworth Historic District (now part of the larger Roosevelt Historic District). It is the Kenilworth School, and it has been enriching Downtown elementary students since 1920. The columned Neoclassical Revival façade of the building is demanding, towering in scope and just plain impressive to see. The front portico features six 35-foot Roman Ionic columns, an entablature with a pediment top proudly proclaiming, KENILWORTH. Construction of the school began in 1919 using architect Verne Wallingford's design, heavily influenced by Revival-style lines that were popular in the 1910s and '20s. Remarkably, the building is in fantastic condition and still operating as it was in 1920, despite 90 years of children running through its halls. A major renovation occurred in 1981, but perhaps the most remarkable feat is its current location: mere feet away from the walls of I-10. The school was spared from the freeway expansion, which cut through neighboring buildings to the south and through parts of the F.Q. Story neighborhood to the west. The school now has convenient 5th/7th Avenue entrances off the interstate. One of few A++ schools in the area, Kenilworth has a proud tradition in Roosevelt. Famous alumni include Margaret Hance (namesake to the neighboring park across 5th Avenue) and Barry Goldwater. Sources: Staging a Comeback — The Arizona Commission on the Arts by Gerald A.

[caption id="attachment_7302" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo courtesy of the Woodlea Melrose Neighborhood Association"][/caption] The Woodlea Melrose neighborhood includes over 350 single-family homes in the area bound by Indian School Road on the south, the Grand Canal on the north, 7th Avenue on the east and 15th Avenue on the west. Although our neighborhood is nestled in the heart of Phoenix, it is a quiet cottage community where most of the homes are between 40 and 70 years old. Our residents are a mix of young and old — many of our residents are original homeowners. We even have some second- and third-generation homeowners! We are proud of the character and charm of our area. Our neighborhood association was formed in 1987 to help us meet the mounting challenges of maintaining a thriving community in Central Phoenix. There is power in numbers and the unity from the association provides a way for all the neighbors to get together and help make this the best place to live in Phoenix.

Our Goals

• Promote a sense of community and cohesiveness in the neighborhood by organizing neighborhood events.
• Present a unified voice to the city, county and state governments and adjacent businesses on various issues that may affect our neighborhood. Areas of particular concern include zoning issues, traffic control, crime prevention and property appearance.
• Reduce crime in the neighborhood by promoting the Block Watch Program and providing a liaison with the Phoenix Police Department.

Organization

The Woodlea Melrose Neighborhood Association has five elected officers: chairman, vice chairman, information officer, treasurer and secretary. These board officers are elected to a one-year term. We are registered with the City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department as an incorporated neighborhood association. Our membership dues are $10 a year, which includes many benefits: the publication and home delivery of the "Neighborhood News" six times a year; annual neighborhood yard sale each October, including signs and advertising; the annual neighborhood block party each November; holiday luminaria candles and bags each December; and much, much more! Dues run from December 1 through the following November. The association is a nonprofit organization, which means your dues and donations are tax deductible. We would like all residents of the Woodlea Melrose Neighborhood to join us. We do make a difference! We encourage you to get involved by becoming an association volunteer or street representative — you’ll be able to help in so many ways.

When I had first heard about this production, I thought, "OK, a musical about musicals?" I pictured a combination of West Side Story, Wicked, Rent and Le Miserables. You know, where Maria meets Jean Valjean and where Glinda and Tom Collins are lovers. The only route I could see was simply a parody. While comfortable in my seat waiting for the show, I thumbed through the program to see what this play is about. I noticed that there are merely five cast members and that the stage is minimally designed. Well, at this point I knew my theory was way off. At that point, I'm thinking this play could go anywhere, so I patiently wait for it to start. The lights dim, some activity is happening on stage and suddenly there is music. As the lights come up, all cast members burst into tune with the accompanying keyboard riffs. It took me a second to put it together, but I realized that they are singing about the first song of the show. What, the first song of the show? I literally mean the song is about singing the first song in their musical. How clever! I was pleasantly surprised at the wit and simpleness of this play that spent three months on Broadway. After all, people are used to big props, popular actors or actresses playing the lead roll and lavish costumes to go along with it. Not this show: five cast members, a keyboard, four chairs and a couple of doors are all they needed to complete a Broadway-worthy production. I can't go into too much detail, because you should really see this play for yourself, but I can tell you that they touch on every aspect of two guys who come up with an idea to write a play together. Think of it as though you were watching 24 — real-time TV. Well, this is real-time theater. After the show, we were fortunate enough to participate in a discussion panel with the actors and actresses. The music and lyrics were written by Jeff Bowmen and the book by Hunter Bell. Originally, when the play was on Broadway, the characters played themselves. This truly is an autobiographical production — it took four-and-a-half painstaking years to create. As more questions were asked by the audience, we were enlightened by the fact that some of the actors starring in the Arizona Theatre Company production are close friends with the writers. All of the actors in this production of [title of show] were excellent, and I was able to emerge myself in all of their characters. [title of show] is playing at the Herberger Theater through March 7. The creators of the show, Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell, will appear on stage March 4 for a post-show discussion. Also, original cast member Larry Pressgrove will play the role of "Larry" for the final week of the Phoenix run. Don't miss this opportunity to see an intelligent off-Broadway production and meet the creators to ask them all the questions I guarantee you will have in the end!

On Tuesday, the Suns did something they’ve rarely done in the last five-plus years: Win a game without two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash. Two nights ago, the Suns not only won without Nash, but they also did so on the road against the surging Oklahoma City Thunder, who happened to be the hottest team in the NBA at the time, winning nine straight contests. While you can make an argument for some of the Suns’ early victories, none was as important as this one. Just ask head coach Alvin Gentry. "It's our best win of the year, by far, I think. Especially playing without Steve. To come in here and be able to beat this team without Steve, it's a heck of an accomplishment. It's a big plus for our guys," Gentry said. This win was huge for multiple reasons, the most obvious being the fact that it was a victory against a Western Conference foe that’s right in the middle of the tight playoff hunt. All wins become extra important this time of year, especially when they come against teams the Suns are battling for playoff positions. The victory over the Thunder propelled the Suns from sixth in the standings to fifth, which pulls them closer to gaining home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Secondly, this victory prevented losing the season series to Oklahoma City. The Suns and Thunder only meet three times his year. Since the Suns dropped the first meeting in Phoenix, OKC had the chance to clinch the season series by picking up the victory the other night. With things so bunched up in the West this year, winning a season series against a team is more important than ever. It would be no surprise if multiple teams finish the season with even records, so winning a season series could be crucial to playoff seeding. With their victory in Oklahoma, the Suns now have the chance win the season series when the two teams meet for the final time later this year in Phoenix. While playoff positioning and tiebreakers are important, nothing is as important as knowing this team can win a game without Steve Nash, and do so on the road against a very good basketball team in the Kevin Durant-led Thunder. The confidence of the Suns has to be at a season high after this game, as the Suns did something they rarely do in winning without Nash. They did so with a total team effort as everyone stepped up. Goran Dragic did a solid job stepping into the starting job and picking up career highs in assists (10) and minutes (40). Amar’e Stoudemire continued his current beastly streak by netting 30 points, and Jason Richardson continued to show he is capable of being the difference for Phoenix. Richardson scored the last four points Tuesday, including the go-ahead floater, making the Suns 17-2 (18-2 after last night's victory over Philadelphia) when he scores at least 20. The Oklahoma City game may easily the biggest win of the year for the Suns, however with 20-plus games to go, let’s hope this is just one of many big wins down the stretch.]]> 7229 0 0 0 1866 http://myspace.com/newzzero 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/01/city-dwelling-windsor-square-historic-home-tour/ Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:41:35 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7256 Twice during the month of February, Phoenix area residents were treated to historic home tours. This coming Sunday, March 7, the caravan moves Uptown, for a glimpse of what life is like in Windsor Square. The Windsor Square neighborhood, which is located just north of Camelback Road and stretches from Central Avenue to 7th Street, was originally one of Phoenix's first suburbs. This neighborhood of 260 homes was predominantly built in the 1930s and '40s, and is unique for older Phoenix neighborhoods, as the lots were laid out on "curvy" streets as opposed to the standard "grid" street program. The Windsor Square Tour, which is held every other year, will be a self-guided walking tour of 11 historic homes and gardens. The tour runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased in advance online or on the day of the event. Tour headquarters on Sunday will be at Orange Drive and 2nd Street, just northeast of the Central/Camelback intersection.

May is one of Scottsdale’s most prolific and well-recognized chefs, burly and bearded, his shoulder-length hair sometimes up, sometimes down. Though he's had the eastern half of the Valley covered for some time, he has quietly been surveying the Downtown Phoenix culinary landscape for years, and he’s about to move in. “My partner, Quinn Goldsberry, and I have been looking Downtown for a long time,” May confesses. “The thing about Downtown is, do you go to the Camelback and Central corridor? Do you go to Roosevelt Row? Or do you just jump in Downtown near Hanny’s — really downtown Downtown?” Later this year, May will introduce two new cozy dining concepts to Downtown Phoenix in the forthcoming CityScape development, but don’t think that he’s simply waiting around to be handed the keys. May operates a handful of restaurants now, and he’s prepping for the upcoming Devoured Culinary Classic at the Phoenix Art Museum on March 13. He’ll be offering a demonstration that afternoon, and it promises to be a bit different than most. [caption id="attachment_7406" align="alignright" width="324" caption="Aaron May inside Over Easy"][/caption] “The demo is in partnership with Fiji water, so I would say it will be liquid in nature,” May hints. “I don’t have it nailed down, but it’s going to be really creative and exciting — to fit in with the whole Art Museum theme. “I think the Art Museum is just a great space to have a culinary event,” May continues. “With the art and the beautiful building and the gardens, it just lends itself well to the culinary arts — the food, the wine, the expression — it’s the perfect space.” And, despite usually working behind closed doors, May is cool with the idea of cooking for a crowd. “It gives me a chance to express what I do on a real personal level,” he says. “It lets people see what goes into creating what I make. It’s not stressful — everyone there is excited to see it. You’re there doing what you do every day for people who are interested.” Devoured is just one piece of the Downtown culinary puzzle for May. He’s a Downtown fan, and clearly, just from listening to him speak about all the fare possibilities Downtown, he feels Phoenix is already on the culinary map.

Changing the Downtown dining landscape

May will host two restaurants in CityScape's first phase. Both of the rooms, one on top of the other, are intimate spaces, but that doesn’t mean the experience won’t be much more expansive. As May waits for construction of CityScape’s first phase to finish up, he’s eagerly preparing for the two restaurants, which certainly takes a good amount of studying. The first space, on the ground level, is a Tokyo-style ramen bar that has May really eager to bring a different concept to Phoenix. “It’s really small — around 900 square feet,” May laughs. “I lived in New York and San Francisco, and they have all these great ramen bars. We don’t get that in Phoenix much. We’re doing handmade noodles; that really cool noodle culture of Tokyo.” May will jet to Tokyo soon to study up on some cooking techniques and jot down ideas, and he’s hoping inspiration for the restaurant’s name will find him there. “We refer to it as ‘Ramen Bar’ right now. Who knows, Ramen Bar may be [the final name],” he chuckles. The second concept, directly above the noodle bar on the second level, is a Mexico City-style tacos ‘n tequila joint. At 2,500 square feet, it’s a bit bigger, but still tiny compared to some of May’s other ventures. “If you think about it, Over Easy (which occupies an old Taco Bell) is bigger than the ramen bar, and all the other restaurants I have are bigger than this bigger space,” May says. “I think the small space is awesome — we can really set an intimate atmosphere. I love the juxtaposition of going to this 900-square-foot noodle bar and then going to the giant arena, convention center, office building, whatever. Everything is on a grand scale Downtown, and then there’s these two little restaurants.” He’s not totally set on a name for the second space, either, but a working title sounds promising. “Right now we’re calling the Mexican restaurant 'Vitamina T,' which means ‘Vitamin T,’ May reveals. “They talk about it in Mexico City all the time: ‘Have you gotten your daily ration of tacos, tequila, tamales, tortas?’” Though an opening date hasn’t been set for either just yet, May expects to start working on the spaces in early spring, and his turnaround time is usually very quick.

Downtown Phoenix's unlimited potential

May’s restaurants are scattered northeast of Downtown — Old Town Scottsdale, Arcadia and DC Ranch — but he feels a real sense of anticipation about Downtown that he doesn’t get in other parts of the Valley. “I’m friendly with all the chefs [at nearby restaurants] and respect what they do,” May says. “When CityScape came about, it just seemed like a great opportunity. There’s a lot going on: Sam Fox is doing his Beverly Hills-style steakhouse, and that should draw a lot of people; you have all the office space; you have Press Coffee, the Improv — all this synergy. It created this natural spark and totally made sense to go there.” Currently, May bounces between his East Valley eateries and his future Downtown spots, typically visiting the city core three or four times a week. “Just walking around that area where CityScape is going, you see the Luhrs Tower and all the cool stuff around there,” May says. “When I walk around, I just get so excited about the prospect of being able to cook right there.” But, perhaps most importantly, May doesn't just head Downtown for business. He's interested in connecting with other local chefs and sampling their fare. “I’m a big fan of Downtown Phoenix,” he gushes. “I try and support Downtown, whether I go to Local Breeze for lunch or Nine|05 or Sens or PastaBAR at night. Then there’s Hanny’s, which I love. I think that’s one of the coolest restaurant designs ever. In terms of culinary growth, there’s great stuff there. There is a restaurateur culture down here. There’s no corporate culture to the restaurants, and I hope it stays that way — local, independent guys.”

Pierson Place is historically important to Phoenix for the diversity in housing represented by its 16 architectural styles. The neighborhood retains examples not only of the architecture, but also of the building materials and construction practices used from the 1920s through the 1950s. The district is home to seven adobe buildings, and houses a mix of owner-occupied homes and properties offered as rentals, including single-family homes on residential lots, small duplexes or quads. Later, infill construction provided multifamily housing for rent or sale. [caption id="attachment_7327" align="alignright" width="250" caption="Homes in Pierson Place are quaint and high on the charm."][/caption] Many of Pierson Place's original residents no longer live here; however, some of my neighbors grew up here and still live in the family home. Some of us have been around for decades; others are new to Phoenix and Pierson Place. We have kids, dogs, roommates and hail from all over the world! This location offers great access to the city center, and we do not have to venture far for recreation or entertainment. Schools, museums, cultural activities, First Fridays and, of course, light rail are on our doorstep! Shopping and errands can begin and end less than a mile from my home in Pierson Place; a bike ride or a short walk will get me to restaurants, groceries, coffee shops, boutiques, exercise programs, critter care, spas and beautifying or just poking around looking for treasures among the many shops along 7th Avenue! Often, when I am asked where I got some article or another, I can smile and say, “I shop 'the Avenue.’” We are not the largest historic district or the oldest, nor do we have the cachet of some, but we offer a great place to live near the resources of our large metropolitan area. Pierson Place is safe and affordable, and we know and meet our neighbors at the shops and stores close to home! Pam Perry is a Pierson Place resident and editor of the neighborhood's newsletter. The Pierson Place Historic District stretches from Camelback Road south to canal and 7th Avenue east to Central Avenue. ]]> 7257 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/03/m7-week-grandview/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:09:08 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7259 In anticipation of the m7 Street Fair on Saturday, March 6, DPJ is spending the week getting to know the great businesses, neighborhoods and people that make the Melrose area so intriguing. Good neighbors to all, especially the m7 Street Fair, the Grandview Neighborhood has been a part of the m7 fair for several years now — back when the fair consisted of a few tables, chairs and a lot of hope. You have done well, m7 Street Fair. The Grandview Neighborhood Association was formed in November of 1991 and currently represents approximately 1,200 neighbors. Our boundaries are 7th Avenue west to 15th Avenue, and Camelback south to Campbell Avenue bordering the Grand Canal. Our goals are, “To improve quality of life, safety and security, communicate with city, business and institutions in the neighborhood, and preserve the diversity of lifestyles.” Neighborhood associations, unlike homeowner’s associations, do not “hold power” over an individual’s home or how it is used. Associations, such as ours, are positive in every aspect — communication is the name of the game. The homes in Grandview were built in and around the late 1940s and 1950s. The great majority of Grandview businesses are on two of the four “sides” of the boundaries, those being Camelback and 7th Avenue. The neighborhood is proud of the existing working relationship with the businesses and continues to reach out so that we all mutually benefit from the formed alliances. Every year in November we hold our major fundraiser for the association, and for many years now, Charlie’s on Camelback, just west of 7th Avenue, has graciously hosting this event. It’s a grand night to imbibe (should you wish), toss in a bid for an auction item or participate in a raffle, with the majority of raffle items either donated from local businesses or handmade items by our own neighbors. The Charlie’s crew of entertainers and bartenders go out of their way to assist us in fundraising and to share the diversity we hold dear to us in our neighborhood. Twice a year, in spring and fall, we host a block party/neighborhood cookout, where we picnic with hot dogs, chips, drinks and favorite side dishes. Usually, at our fall event, we also raffle off a very nice door prize. We also arrange a fun activity for the children. Grandview publishes a monthly newsletter, also posted in color on our website, grandviewna.org, and most recently we now “stay connected” on Facebook and Twitter. Our neighborhood holds several general meetings per year, and we are pleased to hold them at one of our great business neighbors, Amerischools, at 1333 W. Camelback. We try to get a speaker for each general meeting. Our board consists of eight members, plus a newsletter editor and a distributor. The board plans activities for presentation to the neighborhood at its general meetings. Personally, I’ve lived in several different neighborhoods from the Midwest to the Plains states and the great Northwest, but Grandview is the first neighborhood that makes me want to participate, to watch out for my neighbors and enjoy the diversity. If you’re looking for a home, try us out! Don’t forget: Stop by our booth at the m7 Street Fair and say hi!

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 09.19.09 Holy crap — venues like this exist in Phoenix? Who knew? My friends and I were waiting in an unholy line at the Rhythm Room to see Tommy Castro, and we started getting this dread feeling that we weren't going to get in. I used my handy-dandy Yelp BlackBerry app to look up what was nearby, and saw Char's, so close all this time that I could have thrown a sock full of manure and hit it. The Char's web site isn't exactly what you'd call "mobile friendly" but I could see from the Yelp reviews that it had music every night. We decided to drive over and check it out — best decision ever. The place is quite a bit smaller than RR, with an intimate stage and little dance floor. The band Soul Power was setting up, and we ordered drinks from the friendly waitress. There is a cool cat sitting at the door collecting the (considerably lower than RR) cover charge, who we later found out is the owner. I can't adequately describe the effect Soul Power had on us. I could say I was blown through the opposite wall, but that doesn't quite sum it up. I was... funkified. Electrified. Wow, what a band. What a room. What a night. Oh, and it's cheap to drink there.

Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true.

If loving shredded beef and green tomatillo sauce is wrong, then send Arpaio the measurements for my pink jumpsuit now. (Not really. I’m too pretty for jail.) Seriously though, Mi Patio, perched at the southern gateway of the Melrose district, delivers some raucous good grub. I decided with the upcoming m7 Street Fair to check out some of the area’s hot spots. Of course, driving around must always end with eating. Well, that is the logic that I use. Maybe you should adopt it as well. I was craving some delicious Mexican cuisine, and, fortunately, like the beacon of hope for my taste buds, Mi Patio was close by. Its quaint and eclectic outside spills over into the interior and provides much hope for the food itself. All of my past experiences with this type of grub follow this rule: If it looks like a fiesta is happening or recently happened here, then the food is going to mariachi-style rock my palate. It’s a good measuring stick, but only for this kind of fare. Do not try with your favorite steak place. I ordered the Patio Taco, a deep-fried flour tortilla filled with shredded beef and covered in green tomatillo sauce. Talk about a beast. When it arrived, I mistook it for a burrito. And, I am talking a Chipotle-eat-your-heart-out size burrito. Coupled with the seasoning they use to marinate their beef, the fried tortilla was JJ Walker-endorsed “Dy-no-mite!” I ignored the tap-out of my stomach and would not rest until every succulent bite was consumed. I believe that even as you read this blog days later, I could still possibly be full. But, truly good shredded beef doesn’t cross your plate every day. If it does, I must know the secret to your incredible existence. I kid you not. So, this coming week, as you find yourself parading around up and down 7th Avenue, keep Mi Patio on your event schedule. It could change your life, or maybe just the course of your hunger. Mi Patio is located at 3347 N. 7th Ave, a half-mile west of the Central/Osborn light rail station — 602.277.4831]]> 7315 0 0 0 1879 http://www.bumpdesignz.com 1876 132 1876 0 0 1877 1876 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/08/nina-miller/ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:43:15 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7329 Nina Miller is passionate about and spends most of her time doing. Miller is an improvisation and main-stage actress who performs at local theaters, a graphic designer in Michael Crow’s office at Arizona State University and a contributor to community projects in the Phoenix area. [caption id="attachment_7420" align="alignright" width="403" caption="Photo by Evan Wyloge"][/caption] “(People) always say do for a living what you did for play when you were a kid,” Miller says. “My three favorite things to do were playing with the typewriter, coloring with crayons and making up stories with my friends. I ended up being a graphic designer and an actor, and I think it makes a lot of sense.” Miller, who grew up in Minnesota, started acting when she was 15 years old. With no stage experience, she auditioned for and landed the role of Dyslexia, an eccentric secretary, in the comedic murder mystery Death by Chocolate. In 1995, Miller left Minnesota and headed to ASU, where she decided to pursue a theater degree after experimenting with theatrical set and costume design. When she graduated in 1999, Miller had no desire to leave Arizona. She used her theater degree to work at the mall, but soon realized she needed to find another way to make a living. “Being an actor in Phoenix for a living is really, really difficult, if not impossible, which is what I learned quickly after graduating,” Miller says. She adds that she wanted to be able to choose her acting projects based on what interested her rather than when her rent was due. Miller went back to ASU in 2001 to study graphic design and obtained her degree in 2005. That same year, she began working for Crow. Miller has also taught design courses at ASU, and is currently working on her master’s degree in graphic design at the university. Miller says she has noticed a big change at ASU since she first attended about 15 years ago. “When I got here, I guess I perceived people not really valuing education as much,” Miller says. “When I went back to school, I was noticing that energy was shifting a little bit.” Although she does not act for a living, Miller says it is a great hobby to have and she believes it will always be part of her life. “For a while, I was really thinking that I was walking away from it and rejecting it entirely because it just wasn’t what I was expecting of it,” she says. “But, I think I’ve really embraced the fact that I don’t want to be a star.” Miller has done main-stage performances at Stray Cat Theatre in Tempe, but says it is a tremendous time commitment. She performs improv at The Torch Theatre, which she says is a little more flexible with her schedule. Improv may be less time consuming, but Miller says it is still a challenge. “Acting is hard in a totally different way, but improvising makes your brain work,” she says. “It’s like working out for your brain. It’s fantastic.” Miller also participates in a training program at The Torch Theatre, which she entered into last summer. In the first level, her teachers encouraged her to start performing because of her previous stage experience. She realized she was learning just as much from performing, and began searching for more ways to do so in Phoenix. She is now in the process of starting a Herald-style improv troupe that currently has five members. She hopes to increase that number to about seven or eight. When Miller isn’t designing or acting, she spends her time getting involved in the community. One of the projects she is involved with is the MADPHX (Making a Dent in Phoenix) podcasts, which she started with a group of people from the Phoenix area. “All of us were just really concerned about Phoenix, and about what the community is and the direction it’s going,” she says. “Our whole point is, let’s not just complain about Phoenix and what isn’t happening, let’s talk about what is happening and the proactive ways things are changing.” The group tries to meet every other week to record its conversations and has released eight podcasts at press time. Miller says that whatever activities she decides she wants to do, she’s finding ways to do them in Phoenix. “Social awareness, design, performance; if I can mash all that up, I’m a pretty happy person.”]]> 7329 0 0 0 1900 http://www.spafinder.com/dealdays 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/03/arizona-room-orpheum-theatre/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:29:51 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7360 is a weekly column examining the historic, reuse and infill structures in Downtown Phoenix.

Adams St. in Copper Square It is hard to believe a world-class venue like the Orpheum Theatre nearly fell out of favor with Phoenicians. The building is truly one of Downtown Phoenix's great cultural centers, and the architecture is second to none. Back when it was being built in 1927-29, the Orpheum was the most extravagant pre-Depression building in the city, with a price tag around $750,000. Originally constructed to screen movies and display major live theatrical performances, it opened in on January 5, 1929. Architect Leslie J. Mahoney's Spanish Boroque Revival architectural style wasn't uncommon for theaters of this era, especially in the West. Of note: the Barrel Vault-style ceiling, still featured today, and the auditorium walls, meant to resemble a Mexican marketplace. The matching first- and second-floor lobbies are still preserved today as well. [caption id="attachment_7364" align="alignright" width="150" caption="A plaque on Orpheum signifies its past life as the Palace West Theatre."][/caption] The Orpheum was the first theater in Phoenix to feature full-sound movies, and served as a film premiere location a few times a week. But, by the middle of the century, the building, then rechristened the Paramount Theatre and later the Palace West Theatre, fell into hard times. "Suburban" theaters were also showing films, now on larger screens with advanced sound technology, and audiences waned. It wasn't until developer Jim Kaufman bought the property in the 1980s and turned it over to the city of Phoenix that the wheels began spinning again. In 1997, $14.5 million later, the Orpheum reopened in its current fully renovated form. It is now once again one of the city's key performing arts spaces, and is still an absolute marvel to take in.

It's no secret that the Melrose area, aka Melrose on 7th, is a hub of eclectic shops, specialty stores and food and drink culture, but no one quite expected the word to get out so quickly. In 2001, the fair launched as a means to announce the formation of the Seventh Avenue Merchants Association (SAMA). By 2008, there were 12,000 attendees. This year, they're expecting up to 20,000 at final count. Besides promoting general awareness of the district's attractions, the goal of m7 is straightforward: to raise money (through booth rentals) to fund the SAMA newsletter, Artlink bus stops for First Fridays and advertising initiatives. No money raised goes to personnel. Most importantly, the event is always free, which is certainly enticing for those thinking about attending. Saturday's event promises to be the biggest and best yet. The goal is "bring your business to the street." With over 145 booths spanning 7th Avenue from Indian School to Campbell, it's safe to say it will be fulfilled. The buy-local mindset will be in full force, and surely everyone will be able to discover a local business they didn't know about. Expect vendors, handmade crafts, food (16 booths total), community groups and more. Though there is no beer garden, Pat O's Bunkhouse and Los Compadres will have "extended patios" to house those needing a brewski. As from the beginning, the fair will also feature some tricked-out hot rod cars — 125 in all. We dare you to find just one that you like. Another goal of the event: To raise awareness about the great bordering neighborhoods in the area: Carnation, Woodlea Melrose, Grandview and Pierson Place. Each has its own feel and character, but they share the Melrose Curve as their burgeoning center for arts, food, shopping, entertainment and fun. As if all the above wasn't enough, there's plenty more on hand: a kid's area with crafts, face painting and rides; a scavenger hunt and music by Dry River Yacht Club, Michelle Blades, Lonna Kelley, Fatigo and RastaFarmers.

Without further ado, here’s the first annual Suns Spot Sunsies… Best Short Film, Live Action: Lou Amundson Despite receiving fairly limited minutes compared to some of his teammates, Lou always comes in and makes an impact. In five minutes, Amundson can grab you five boards, a couple of blocks and a few offensive put-backs. What more could you ask for? Best Documentary, Short Subjects: Jared Dudley As Twitter continues to grow, so does the popularity of Jared Dudley. A large part of JYD’s popularity can be attributed to his social media interaction with fans, which has included “Twitter Cribs” and “JMZ,” both giving behind-the-scenes looks at the lives of his Phoenix teammates. Even though he was unaware of what Sundance was, Dudley is still a rightful recipient of a Sunsie. Best Foreign Language Film of the Year: Goran Dragic This one was a no-brainer. The second-year guard from Slovenia has impressed fans league-wide with the improvements he’s made since his rookie year. With Goran’s consistent jumper, solid D and passing skills that keep getting better, the Suns have finally found their backup point guard. Best Achievement in Editing: Alvin Gentry Coach Gentry wins this award for the adjustments his made to his lineup over the year. He’s done a great job developing the above-mentioned players, especially when you consider how much time Leandro Barbosa has missed. The confidence he has shown in the likes of Dudley and Dragic has been a huge plus for the team. Factor in the genius move to place Robin Lopez in the starting lineup and Gentry is clearly deserving of such a fine and distinguished award. Best Achievement in Directing: Steve Nash Was there ever any doubt with this one? Whether it be directing his teammates in his videos off the court or calling the shots on it, Nash is hands down the best director in the Valley of the Sun. Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role: Grant Hill This one was a little tougher to choose a winner, but in the end, the Blue Devil won out. As the team’s best perimeter defender and third-string point guard, Hill does more than anyone could ever ask for. Plus, I’m biased toward him because he drinks Sprite (Editor's note: Ladies, if you want to win Chris Coffel's heart, the quickest route to it is a can of Sprite!). Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role: Amar’e Stoudemire While Nash is the director responsible for the production, Amar’e Stoudemire is the production. STAT is having a great year and has been on a tear of late, averaging 25-plus point and 10-plus rebounds in the month of February. Despite having to deal with trade rumors for weeks, Amar’e has continued to play hard and lead the Suns as they make a push for home court in the playoffs. Best Motion Picture of the Year: R U ORNG? This award goes to the guys over at PHX Productions who made an awesome Suns video that is available at Planet Orange. (So what if I happen to be one of the guys that worked on this video? There are no rules about conflict of interest at the Sunsies. Plus, we worked hard on putting this together, so you should go watch it!) Well, that wraps up the first-ever Sunsies. Hope you all enjoyed it, and hope to see everyone back next year!]]> 7382 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/04/first-friday-off-roo-row/ Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:06:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7390 Phoenix Art Museum and start heading south), keep strolling down Central to Garfield Street, then hook a left. At the corner of 1st Street and Garfield is Paulina Miller Gallery (817 N. 1st St.). Miller's gallery has been standing here for years, and it often is forgotten because it's a block or two away from the vendors, performers and galleries of Roosevelt Street.

Currently, Miller is hosting "The Dream and the Time: Journeys of Cuban Artists" through March 18. Eleven artists in all adorn the walls — picture bright, bold paintings in a number of modern styles and you're on the right page. Miller's gallery is open from 6:30-10 p.m. From Paulina Miller Gallery, continue heading south on 1st Street to Pierce. Apart from the eats and drinks at PastaBAR, Sens, the Turf (all at 705 N. 1st St.) and the Breadfruit (108 E. Pierce St.), the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar (14 E. Pierce St.) will be on your right. This First Friday debuts expanded Friday and Saturday hours (now open until 11 p.m.!) and sports the musical stylings of John Diaz in the Royal at the Market space in the building. Stop on in for a cappuccino and some free live jams. The music starts at 7 p.m. From the grocery, it's a short five or so blocks over to the Coe House (365 N. 4th Ave.), where the artwork is always in your face and the conversation is never hard to spark. This month, three artists are showing in the historic home: Rocco Menaguale, Robert Denning and Galen Hasenpflug. Menaguale is showing a "representational drip paintings on glass" collection, paired with Denning's "pop art with a witty twist" and Hasenpflug's "abstract expressionism with Asian and graffiti influences." Tell me that doesn't sound intriguing. On your return trip, you'll head up 4th Avenue past Local Breeze (606 N. 4th Ave), where the outdoor bar and firepit with plenty of lounge seating is always inviting for a nightcap. Continuing on 4th toward Roosevelt, you'll pass some of the Roosevelt Historic District's notable homes — the perfect contrast to the sheer urbanity just a few streets over.]]> 7390 0 0 0 1886 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/05/lucky-number-7th-ave/ Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:02:50 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7398 In anticipation of the m7 Street Fair on Saturday, March 6, DPJ is spending the week getting to know the great businesses, neighborhoods and people that make the Melrose area so intriguing. Heading to the Melrose Curve for the m7 Street Fair this Saturday? In addition to checking out the booths, take the opportunity to check out the locally owned businesses that are making this neighborhood one of the hottest in town. It seems like somebody forget to tell them that we’re in the middle of a recession, as the area has seen an explosion of new business open up the in the past several months. Here are seven to check out: [caption id="attachment_7413" align="alignright" width="384" caption="The Wagon Wheel Building is home to Blueberry Deluxe (right)."][/caption] 1.

The new storefront is even bigger, allowing them to stock even more eclectic vintage and new furnishings, décor, gifts and clothing not found anywhere else. The focus is on the modern and kustom kulture styles of the '50s through the '70s with a bit of kooky-styled kitsch thrown in for fun. 4314 N. 7th Ave. (602) 234.2528 email 2. Prosper Antique Mall A little north of the Curve sits the newest addition to the growing Melrose “Antiques District.” Prosper Antique Mall features a variety of items, from vintage jewelry to mid-century furniture to outdoor accessories and everything in between.

The developers

The timing couldn’t be better for Macdonald Development Corporation, the company that recently purchased the building. Familiar with office-to-condo conversions, the opportunity to secure the Century Plaza building seemed like a no-brainer. “Our business, for the last 30 years, has been to acquire properties where markets have crumbled,” says Robert Macdonald, President of Macdonald Development and principal of the One Lexington project. “Markets collapse for various reasons. It could be a financial catastrophe like this recent example. At the end of all that, we come in and buy.” The company’s previous successes are evident. Just look at rejuvenated skylines in Vancouver, Edmonton, Sacramento, San Diego and Atlanta, among others. Macdonald and his partner in the project, Rob Hubbard, have been visiting Phoenix for decades, both for leisure and to survey the real estate landscape. The two were looking at several distressed markets — Las Vegas, Southern California and Phoenix, in particular — to make their next move. Phoenix made the most sense. “We like Phoenix,” Hubbard says. “We have been here, we have contacts here. Out of the two [Las Vegas and Phoenix] markets, I’ve always preferred [Phoenix], because Vegas can change very quickly. Phoenix was always the first choice. “In the early part of ’09, it became obvious in this market that there was a dramatic draw-down,” Hubbard continues. “It went from an 18-month supply to almost in balance — about a six-month supply — in fairly short order. That seemed like a good time to move forward.” Hubbard and Macdonald searched several areas of the Valley — Downtown Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale among them — looking at properties. But, to fully understand the complexity of searching through numerous properties in a quest for a true gem, we have to travel back to the very beginnings of the market collapse in early 2008. Macdonald and Hubbard were already searching around the Valley for “problem” properties that caught their attention.

The acquisition

[caption id="attachment_7431" align="alignleft" width="360"] The view looking Uptown[/caption] “[The One Lexington building] stood out like a sore thumb,” Hubbard says, smiling. “First of all, it’s a high rise. It’s concrete; it’s well located — certainly a building that is substantially better looking than anything we saw. We just got right on it.” “We weren’t really familiar with this [Midtown] location,” Macdonald says. “We’ve been coming [to the Valley] for 30 years, but we’d stay at the Phoenician or play golf in Scottsdale, so that’s the area we were used to. When we got to know this area, we thought it was just fantastic.” Both Macdonald and Hubbard cite the light rail and the significant architectural advances in the city core as their main reasons for the excitement in the Midtown location. Macdonald Development had the building under contract within three or four days of that initial visit, and it progressed quickly from there, though you wouldn’t know it from outside. The building continued to sit, a nearly vacant shell, with the Century Plaza sign still shining out to onlookers. But, as cars drove up and down Central Avenue and the light rail whizzed by, improvements and a rebranding was already being laid out. Macdonald Development was able to get the building for a steal — 30% of the mortgage cost — mostly because it went under contract last April. Post-foreclosure, they were able to buy the building from the bank and make the announcement in February.

The conversion

“We respect what the previous developer was trying to do,” Macdonald says. “By our observation, the guy did a great job. We were excited about that, because we’ve been in his shoes.” “The neat thing is, you have a brand new building,” Hubbard chimes in. “This thing was taken down to the concrete columns. It’s exceptional, with the commercial ceiling height (at more than 11 feet). For the most part, no one [offers] that.” [caption id="attachment_7430" align="alignright" width="360"] The view looking Downtown[/caption] This brings up a unique point about One Lexington: the building is exceedingly well built. The previous remake of Century Plaza stripped the building to its sound concrete skeleton — originally constructed in the mid-'70s — and built it back up with its fancy aqua-tinted skin and steel shell. A building wouldn’t be built this well today. “Because of the deal we were able to get on the building, we were able to price it out way below the price of construction,” says David Newcombe of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, the sales and marketing company for the building. “People need to hear that loud and clear. The market has bottomed — actually, it’s gently going up — it’s the right time to buy.” Indeed, the units will now be offered at substantially lower prices — nearly 50% what they were previously going for. But, don’t think that these are hastily built living spaces. The views from any direction are incredible — you literally feel on top of Central Avenue and can see far-flung suburbs at ease — but the attention to detail in every unit is exceptional. As for the rebranding under the One Lexington name, it really made sense to move away from the building’s previous moniker, as it really is a completely different building now. Since acquiring the building, Macdonald Development has significantly upgraded the entire place — everywhere from recessed lighting and shiny new walls in the lobby area to improved elevator entryway façades and livelier, lush areas around the pool. That doesn’t even get into the improvements made to the units themselves. Lavish upgrades include Caesarstone countertops, bamboo flooring, Bosch appliances, Kohler fixtures and marble showers and surrounds. The resort-style pool and expansive fitness center (complete with yoga room) outmatch anything available in Central Phoenix. Since the announcement of the rebranding, the buzz about One Lexington has been on the rise. It’s not surprising when you take a look at the product being offered. The neighborhood is ready for the building to come alive. "It is another signature development that adds to the neighborhood's eclectic mix of chic urban living and historic homes," says Julia Tourville of the Midtown Museum District Neighborhood Association. “There have been a lot of people waiting to make the jump [to buy],” Newcombe says. “We’re extremely lucky. This is a really unique building. This is the perfect package to come to market now.”

Visions of a sandwich or ribs slathered with deep red, spicy, liquidy goodness is enough to make even the sanest of people accidentally consume their pillow during sleep. Fortunately, for us that prefer to eat real food, Honey Bear’s BBQ is right on Central Avenue. On my way to test out how sunburned my pale skin could get at the m7 Street Fair, I stopped by Honey Bear’s to give my hunger the savage beating it deserved. The line was backed out the door, an instant sign that the food is either good or the help is extremely slow with a cash register. I noticed that the line moved rather quickly, so chalk up a victory for skilled help. My sandwich arrived swiftly and more beautiful than I had daydreamed it would be. Completely slathered with sauce, this sandwich was ready to make my delighted Southern stomach stand up and shout, “Hot diggity!” Oops. I’m pretty sure I did that audibly. So, after apologizing for interrupting all the patrons' lunch, I resumed devouring. The old saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding.” I suppose for the realm of judging barbecue, you have to say, “The proof is in the sauce.” If a place does not have good barbecue sauce, then you are required (in the South) to accuse them of slinging ketchup sandwiches and post your review on the nearest water tower. Honey Bear’s does not have to worry about me doing this (one problem would be finding a water tower for my review) because their barbecue sauce is righteously good. Slightly spicy with just the right depth of flavor, this is some seriously good barbecue. So, I strolled the street fair with a very full and content belly, growing redder by the second. It’s safe to say that this old Southern boy is very happy in the Valley. Honey Bear's BBQ is located at 2824 N.

That began to change with the construction of the O.C. Thompson House on the corner of 2nd Avenue and Roosevelt Street. Though earlier examples of residential brick buildings are scattered around the Downtown core, the Thompson House is perhaps the best located and most often seen example of turn-of-the-century brick Colonial Revival housing. The building, still in fine condition in the shadows of Roosevelt Square across the street, is sort of a mix-up of popular architectural styles. The diamond-shaped shingles on the gable are Queen Anne, a not-too-common sight in this neighborhood. Two stories, with a hip roof, asymmetrical gabled pavilions and a wraparound porch on paired columns, Thompson's extravagance doesn't go unnoticed, even today. The building was converted to apartments long after O.C. Thompson and family moved out, rendering a change in the interior layout of the building. The exterior has had little altering, save for a few rooftop improvements over the years, some window improvements and probably more than a few cans of paint. The building now houses several office spaces. Source: Phoenix Historic Building Survey by Charles Hall Page & Associates, Inc. Sept. 1979.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 02.02.10 So I stopped in here for a little music retail therapy - I think I was a little grumpy, but not after this shopping trip! The guy behind the counter was REALLY helpful and friendly. He asked if there was anything I was looking for....my answer was, "nope, but if you have ideas I'd love them". He asked some of the bands that I listened to, and quickly realized we had a musical meeting of minds. I ended up hanging out listening to new bands for about an hour... and walked away with some old used CDs that I somehow didn't have anymore. The idea of CD vs download - I'll pay the extra couple of $$ for a real CD, the art in the CD, supporting a local business and musicians...and just for the level of knowledge that the people in the store have. I know this is a matter of opinion, but to me the recording quality is just so much better on a CD... Also - I found out that one of the people who works at Stinkweeds does his own web radio music show, and if his show is anything like his music suggestions (seems logical eh?) than this is a great place to find new music and to look at all the local concert listings. Thanks Stinkweeds - I'll be back soon when I'm in need for my next music fix! Stinkweeds is located at 12 W.

In March, the Suns will host two more social media events. The first is March 19, Facebook Night presented by Showcase Honda, when the team squares off against the Utah Jazz. “We felt [the Tweetup] was a successful event and wanted to give our fans another opportunity to engage with each other,” says Suns digital sales executive Mandy Medsker. “We currently have over 77,000 Facebook fans. We wanted to thank our fans in a unique way by also giving them a private Q&A with our Suns personalities.” The Suns personality answer fans' questions on Facebook Night is Suns legend and current assistant coach “Thunder” Dan Majerle. For an allotted amount of time after the game, fans will be able to sit in the lower bowl and ask the Ring of Honor member questions. The second social media event of March will be Planet Orange Night presented by Discount Tire. Planet Orange Night is set to take place on March 26 as the Suns take on the New York Knicks. The guests for Q&A on Planet Orange Night will be Suns radio play-by-play team of Al McCoy and Tim Kempton. Both events will feature the same perks as the Tweetup attendees received. Fans attending either Facebook Night or Planet Orange Night will receive a specially designed shirt, early access to watch the team warm up before the game starts and the opportunity to participate in the post-game Q&A sessions. As someone that was able to go to the Tweetup back in December, I highly recommend checking out one of these events, if not both. It’s a great opportunity to meet with some of other Suns fans and discuss basketball. You get a great deal on tickets and the post-game session is very interesting. The Tweetup post-game Q&A participant was Suns All Star Amar’e Stoudemire, but he wasn’t the only one to stop by. Three unexpected guests happened to make appearances. First, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry stopped by to talk about the team and field questions. Gentry was quickly followed by former Suns super sub and current analyst, Eddie Johnson, and lastly, the Junk Yard Dog himself, Jared Dudley, came out to speak with fans. If this is any indication, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some unannounced speakers talk to fans on both the Facebook and Planet Orange nights. With today’s economy, how can you afford not to take advantage of such splendid deals?]]> 7488 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/12/secret-actors-theatre/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:31:54 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7497 [/caption] Secret Order, now playing at the Actors Theatre, guides the audience through the journey of a young scientist and his new discovery. Along his path, he faces the many trials and tribulations that come with such a significant breakthrough. From starting at a meager university to being funded by an accredited cancer research and learning facility, he faces many obstacles along the way that center on the worldwide interest in finding a cure for cancer. The play touches on faith versus science issues, moral and political dilemmas and even sex in the workplace. In a world full of hungry people that just want to get ahead, you learn that it is all about being published first and getting your knowledge out there before anyone else possibly can. Poor William Shumway, played by Cale Epps, learns a hard lesson when in the end all fingers point to him for withholding pertinent information. All the while, he was merely trying to please his mentor and help out an undergraduate colleague. After the play, we were graciously invited to stay and speak with the cast. It was acknowledged that the writer Bob Clyman is a clinical psychologist whose brother is also a scientist; one had to wonder, since the play seemed so accurate. I thought at first I might be lost in all of the scientific terminology, but the play is written so well that it made more sense to me than when I took biology in college. Well, OK, maybe not, but you can keep up with every bit of this play without worry if you don't happen to be a scientist. Although many questions were asked and a discussion ensued, I still left with much to think about. With the motto of the Actors Theatre this season being "Entertain Your Brain," I think it was sincerely achieved with this play. Secret Order is playing at Stage West at the Herberger Theater until March 21, 2010. If you care to tease your brain a little and see a very interesting and entertaining play that makes you feel like you are right in the lab with the scientists, I highly recommend seeing it!

The 85004 ZIP code is bounded by Thomas Road to the north, Buckeye Road to the south, Central Avenue to the west and 7th Street to the east. Within this part of Downtown lies many of our large cultural and sporting venues, such as the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, Burton Barr Central Library, the Herberger Theater, Phoenix Symphony Hall, US Airways Center and Chase Field. Wow! Consider the Downtown arts scene, with an extensive assortment of locally owned art galleries, gift shops, wine bars and restaurants in and around Roosevelt Row. Here is a limited list off the top of my head: Eye Lounge, Made, the Lost Leaf, Conspire, Modified Arts, Nine|05, the Roosevelt Tavern, Moira Sushi, Carly's Bistro, Revolver Records, Matt's Big Breakfast, PastaBAR, The Turf, Sens and the Breadfruit. What's next? How about shopping at the Phoenix Public Market? Or here's a good one. People often complain that they would move Downtown if there were a large grocery store nearby. These people must have never driven by the Safeway at 7th Street and McDowell. [caption id="attachment_7524" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Inside a condo at the Summit at Copper Square"][/caption] Bored yet? Why not take in a movie at the Arizona Center, with its 24 screens, or eat at one of the many restaurants there. Have a friend coming in to town for a conference at the Phoenix Convention Center? He or she can stay at the new Sheraton Hotel, attend their conference and then come visit you, without even needing a rental car. I almost forgot about our new Civic Space Park across from the Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix campus. If you attend ASU or the U of A/ASU Medical School, it might be convenient to live in 85004. I haven't even mentioned places like CityScape or all of the restaurants in the Downtown core between Van Buren and Jefferson streets. I also haven't mentioned destinations in the Warehouse District, such as Alice Cooperstown, Coach & Willies, AmenZone Primal Fitness Training and the forthcoming Deuce in the Anchor Building. Last but not least, in the still somewhat undiscovered Central Park neighborhood, just south of the Warehouse District, lies some varied and unusual housing options as well as eye-candy places like the Bentley Projects. I will leave the summarization of living in 85004 up to you, the reader. Clearly, there is something here for everyone.

The event will showcase 20 or so short films by local filmmakers with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. The fest is being organized and promoted by local filmmaker Matt Robinson. Robinson went to film school and Scottsdale Community College and currently works at ASU as a videographer. Previously, Robinson helped co-run Free Sushi Records, where he helped book bands and promote shows. Robinson decided to put together a film festival as a way for upcoming filmmakers to get their work out to the public. He feels that beginning filmmakers don’t have much of an outlet for their work. “They go up on Vimeo, and then that’s it,” Robinson says. “That’s literally it, and it bugs me. It’s too often that there’s never a chance to show your film or something you made and talk to people that watched it, like an audience.” The two film schools in town, SCC and ASU, each have their own film fests; however, those are for students to attend, and they frequently require entries to come from second-year film students. Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to make a film is a student. “The film festival at SCC is great,” Robinson admits, “but that stinks for all the people that aren’t at SCC.” When asked about the main goal of organizing the event, Robinson states, “Grand Avenue Film Festival is really just an opportunity to give people I know and filmmakers a chance to get an audience.” Even students that attend film school rarely get the chance to get a response from a general audience. “There’s nothing more honest that an audience’s reaction,” says Robinson. The fest is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, and will cost just $5. The films will run a little over an hour and time will be allowed after for people to mingle and talk to the filmmakers about their films. Audience members will get to vote on their favorite film, as an audience award will be presented.]]> 7502 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/16/weekend-devoured/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:06:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7557 Devoured Culinary Classic this past weekend proved just that — an ability to be everything to nearly every mindset.

Devoured is the new food festival to be held each spring at the Phoenix Art Museum. Though technically it was a brand-new event altogether, Devoured unofficially replaces the previous event held annually at the Midtown museum, West of Western. To say that casual comparisons between the two illustrations of sophisticated, urban food festivals by attuned locals wouldn’t happen, would frankly be naïve. So, thankfully, by all respectable accounts (and the palpable vibe of the crowds on both days), Devoured not only one-upped West of Western, but it also was an honest improvement.

Orchestrated in large part by local advocacy and growing nonprofit Local First Arizona and its supreme leader, Kimber Lanning, Devoured encouraged an agenda-driven undercurrent of all things local and “independently edible.” Though there were definite exceptions throughout, Devoured was also intended to be a weighted showcase of participants located within the loose radius of Central Phoenix — a tip on the local dining scale that usually leans Scottsdale. To those living outside the urban bubble of Central Phoenix traveling inward to attend Devoured this past weekend, it was representation done well. With a range of interesting guest speakers (former New York Times and Wall Street Journal restaurant critic Raymond Sokolov was a particular big-ticket draw) and cooking demonstrations, as well as over 70 local restaurants and 25 wineries (mostly Arizona bred) taking part, Devoured’s inauguration was a near perfect food-themed storm that would respectfully cater to both food snobs and casual eaters alike. Though worth the ticket price for both Saturday and Sunday, if one day had to champion the other for ultimate food hierarchy, the latter, Sunday, would have to take the rank. Participating restaurants and chefs jockeyed not only for prime grassy real estate in the Phoenix Art Museum’s beautifully landscaped and spacious sculpture garden, but also for prime scheduling. Sunday unofficially became a magnate for some of the most sought-after eateries in town, and, for the headlining chefs, the most overt flashes of showmanship and craft, as well. Some of Saturday’s highlights included an exceptional (as expected) charcuterie and cheese selection from Uptown’s Petit Fromage; a standout tuna tartare from the Phoenician’s J&G Steakhouse (one of the best such examples of tartare, of many similar, all weekend), served tightly atop avocado and a bright ginger broth; and Christopher's Crush's other-worldly gâteau Marjolaine, a decadent and laborious pressed cake created with, among many other things, layers of almond meringue cake, separated by intermixing levels of chocolate, coffee and vanilla flavored creams. Gallo Blanco Café’s carne asada tacos and Hana Japanese Eatery’s waloo (think Hawaiian butterfish) tataki were both equally confident but simple pleasers. Sunday brought even more standouts. Former Cowboy Ciao chef Bernie Kantak helmed a booth representing not a specific restaurant, but his own creative, skilled abilities with curried, smoked shrimp and coconut. Shrimp paella from Lola Tapas was another immediate, well-executed sell. Nationally decorated restaurant Kai’s breadth of offerings made an intimidating impression with wild goat machaca and fry bread, seared rib-eye slices over a pineapple-avocado quinoa and two playful (and very popular) additions to their otherwise serious buffet — housemade, decidedly elevated versions of Ding Dong desert cakes and icy, citrus-bright hibiscus push-up pops. Sweet Republic, with its locally iconic, retro orange Chevy van parked in full view, served an array of ice cream flavors both seen and new — think flavors like bacon, salted butter caramel and white truffle. Different Pointe of View (at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort) served a near-unanimous crowd favorite: seared, cupcake-sized diver scallops with a creamy, emerald English pea risotto. Honey Moon Sweets' collection of perfectly executed dollhouse desserts earned definite points for yum factor (let alone for presentation) with jewel-sized chocolate almond cups, tarragon and strawberry shortcake cookies and a near effervescent blackberry purée folded with homemade whipped cream and garnished with shavings of pistachio. Not to be outdone, easily maintaining one of the festival’s consistently lengthiest lines of hungry visitors, Old Town Scottsdale’s FnB restaurant was on hand with some premium miniature meatballs molded from Arizona-bred beef, as well as its popular shaved fennel salad and a thick butterscotch pudding for a welcomed sugary finish. Holding a double-day presence, Barrio Café was on hand with its drool-inducing cochinita pibil (slow roasted, citrus marinated pork), crowd-pleasing guacamole and on Sunday only, served its infamous mole. Besides a couple of liquor outposts and some tasty local brews from SanTan Brewing Company, the majority of alcohol consumption at Devoured belonged to wine. And, with the exception of a few participants, nearly all wineries present were Arizona anchored — another admirable trait of Devoured — like Pillsbury Wine Company, Page Springs Cellars and Arizona Stronghold, among several others. Cooking demonstrations were also popular at Devoured on both days, with acclaimed chefs like Christopher Gross, Aaron May (Over Easy, The Lodge, Mabel’s on Main), Matt Carter (Nine|05, Zinc Bistro, The Misson), James Porter (Petite Maison), among several others, drawing large audiences. An unofficial climax occurred during Sunday’s few remaining hours when Caffe Boa’s Payton Curry carried a whole pig (head, hooves and all) over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes to the demonstration area, where he cheekily butchered the carcass in front of a highly entertained audience, readying it for preparation and samples. Showmanship at its finest. There were many, many other participating restaurants, chefs and wineries not mentioned that served great products. The entire crowd was food focused and full of positive, respectful energy. At any given time, circulating eaters could witness firsthand notable local restaurant critics, restaurateurs, off-duty chefs, winemakers, bloggers and food-focused tweeps intermingling, gushing about what they tasted with great energy. Devoured was easily a success, and this new annual food fête more than delivered on its intended angle that independent and local should always be a diner’s prerogative when out to patronize. Phoenix should be proud — the talent is here, the ingredients are being grown here and finally it seems, the enthusiasm to support it all is here as well.]]> 7557 0 0 0 1923 0 0 12745 http://www.downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/15/recapping-devoured-2011/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/16/dpj-yelper-week-nikki-rhythm-room/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:43:18 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7560 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 02.24.10 Let's face it, Phoenix does not have the most amazing music scene in the universe, and with that we get crappy music venues... although out of the few we have to choose from, the Rhythm Room might be my favorite. Even though it's kinda small, they have everything you could ask for in a music venue... great sound system, decent bathrooms — yeah I said it, really cool bartenders and really great drink specials. I actually just saw a Tweet that called their specials "infamous." Either way, this place is the jam, literally. Three complaints:

1. It's hot as balls inside.
2. The door girl has the personality of a napkin and is extremely unfriendly.
3. You can't take your drinks out to the closed off patio and unless it's some zoning law or whatever, that's pretty lame.

Aside from that, I'm a fan! Now if only we could get more bands to stop out here. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E.

Whoever is responsible for coining the phrase, “Life is short, eat dessert first” obviously has tasted the scrumtrilescence that is the Nutella Crepe at Cibo. Cibo is the quaint little house on the corner of Fillmore and 5th Avenue that manages to overflow the street parking nearly every night. The place is famous for its wood-fired pizzas. If you have experienced these, there is no doubt your mind immediately slips into a pizza-filled dreamland at the mere mention of the name. So, I decided it was beyond time that I tested the waters on some highly praised dessert. The Nutella Crepe was an interesting option. I mean, since crepes are French and all, I am not a connoisseur of them in the least. I think my unfamiliarity has less to do with their nationality and more with my heritage. After all, the South still orders Freedom fries. After wolfing down an amazing vegetarian pizza and a splendiferous order of bruschetta, my stomach was ready for the coup de grâce. Enter the sweet, soft, whipped-cream-covered Nutella Crepe. Filled with a nutty chocolate that had to have rained down from heaven, this dessert laid a smack down on my hunger and my ability to move. I only shared one bite, and that was after serious pleading. That’s how good this crepe is. It is soft as heavenly clouds and sweet like a Sunday morning. So, do not delay in making an evening of devouring everything on Cibo’s menu. From the appetizers to the Nutella Crepe, this place rocks my socks. Cibo is located at 603 N. 5th Ave. in Roosevelt (light rail station at Central/1st Ave. & Van Buren) — 602.441.2697]]> 7587 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/17/arizona-room-monroe-school/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:13:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7595 is a weekly column examining the historic, reuse and infill structures in Downtown Phoenix. The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the fourth floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 215 N. 7th St. in Garfield Seeing the colorful banners, neon lights and oodles of noodles at the Children's Museum of Phoenix, it may be hard to identify it as a historic building. But, like other buildings profiled in From the Arizona Room, its current use was not the building's original intent. Though the building has housed the museum since the summer of 2008, it has been standing far longer. Originally the Monroe School, it is one of the largest Neoclassical Revival schools left in Phoenix. It was built in 1914 by Los Angeles designer Norman Marsh. At the time, it was billed the "most modern grade school in the United States." Even today, the original bones of the building are surprisingly modern for a building nearing the century mark. Though major renovations — well over $10 million in all — went into the building prior to the museum's opening, the outer shell remains historically intact. The steel frame, clad in brick, rises two stories atop a raised basement. The signature columned façade, a central pedimented portico with Corinthian columns and projecting end pavilions, was spared. A fire in the 1970s brought severe damage to the original roof, but the original building remains otherwise. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the event this year, and it was quite the swanky affair. Money raised from the event benefited Suns charities. Every Suns player, from Steve Nash to Taylor Griffin, was in attendance, along with head coach Alvin Gentry and owner Robert Sarver. The event kicked off with fans and media mingling with the Suns players and staff in one of the huge ballrooms inside the Sheraton. For about an hour, fans were allowed to snap photos with their favorite players, as well as get a chance to ask players questions. It was during this time I had a conversation with Suns starting center Robin Lopez about the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We both agreed that it sucked. From there, the event moved into an even bigger ballroom where the 1,000 or so people in attendance were treated to a three-course meal. During this time, numerous members of the Phoenix Suns came up on the stage in the ballroom to thank many of the people and charities that make this event possible every year. Attendees were also subject to some skits performed by players, including one involving Steve Nash in which head athletic trainer Aaron Nelson had to rush on the stage to assist Nash with a nosebleed. Another such skit was a video with Leandro Barbosa and the Gorilla introducing Al McCoy to the audience. In the video, the Blur and the Gorilla performed the famous dance originally done by Paul Simon and Chevy Chase in the video for Paul Simon’s hit, “You Can Call Me Al.” [caption id="attachment_7613" align="alignleft" width="400" caption="The gala crowd"][/caption] During dessert, former Suns star Tom Chambers and Suns announcer Tom Leander held an auction for charity. Fans were able to bid on items such as a road trip with the Phoenix Suns to LA for against the much-hated Los Angeles Lakers next season, a slumber party for their child and 14 of their friends at US Airways Center with Jared Dudley leading the way with fun and games or the chance to play a game against a team including Chambers, Dan Majerle and Suns GM Steve Kerr. The evening concluded with a performance by Kool and the Gang. This is when things got really interesting. As Kool and the Gang played through many of their classic songs, many Suns personalities could be seen getting down on the dance floor. Leander and fellow announcer Eddie Johnson were both toward the front of the stage dancing and singing along to every song. Toward the back, Sarver was showing off his moves. During the band’s performance of “Ladies Night,” Suns players Goran Dragic, Earl Clark, Griffin and Lopez joined the band on the stage to sing along and work the crowd with some dance moves of their own. All in all, the night was an amazing experience, and I’m quite thankful to the Suns organization for inviting me out. Good times for good cause, what can beat that?]]> 7605 0 0 0 1936 http://thesweetmagnolia.com/3893/how-to-make-valentines-day-special/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/22/help-clean-steele-indian-school-park/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:34:47 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7607 Steele Indian School Park, you know that it takes a lot of effort to pull off.

The Phoenix Community Alliance, Hands on Greater Phoenix (which graciously is furnishing all the equipment) and the James Cox Foundation are sponsoring the sequel to the Adopt-A-Park Clean-Up on Saturday, March 27, from 8-11:30 a.m. The first clean-up was a huge success. Over 150 people showed up, including entire families. The hope is to make the second clean-up just as worthwhile, so as many helpers as possible are needed.

But, its most important quality: It's all about the community. Just check out the house's Third Friday show, "Salon des Enfants," for further proof. The artists in question are our neighbors. They're Phoenix Elementary School District students, and their legit talent can't be denied. The 15th Salon des Enfants event showcases nearly 300 total pieces of art, each priced at $20 (100% of profits go straight to the students), sold right off the walls salon style. All works were created by students from fifth to eighth grades, representing 16 schools in the district and 18 art teachers. The goals are twofold: Students become involved in the local arts community at an early age (priceless, really, when you think of all those budget cuts affecting school arts programs) and are given the self-confidence to keep learning their craft. The hope is by bringing the young artists to the Alwun House, they can be inspired by their peers to work harder, explore further and create often. Prizes will be doled out — First, Second, Third and honorable mention winners — but the presentation itself is really what matters. Adding to the festivities, the Capitol band, Kenilworth Choir & Band, Bethune music and Folklorico dancers will be on hand to perform. The show runs from 4-6 p.m. on March 19 only.

A duel this weighty only comes around these parts when the Spurs play the Suns twice a year at US Airways Center. Jordre paints wall-sized, splattered, colorific paintings using any number of methods. The results are visually stunning. Then you have Sandoval, who uses aerosol like nobody's business. Swick's work is the most diverse, using oil and acrylics on various mediums of all shapes and sizes. Lastly, Peloke, a self-described "hermit" in the art world, has just started showing his work publicly. Will he rise to the challenge or will his nerves get to him? You have to show up to find out.

Some of us may be wondering where in the world the money came from. Last season, the D-backs let Randy Johnson go to the San Francisco Giants as a result of not being able to meet his salary requirements. Others are excited that the organization has ponied up the cash to keep such performers as Mark Reynolds and Justin Upton. Reynolds, a fourth-year player, has been solid for the team over the last couple of years, while producing offensive numbers that seem to increase year after year. Despite his numerous strikeouts last season, Reynolds knocked in 44 homers and 102 RBI for the Diamondbacks in '09. It is exciting to be able to secure a player like Reynolds at the hot corner for another three years. Upton had a mediocre beginning of the season, but then self-corrected to earn a spot on the National League's All-Star squad last year. He has grown to be an exciting player and a solid contributor to the Diamondbacks. This year, the Diamondbacks aptly named "Uptown" as a location at Chase Field where fans can cheer for Upton and the D-backs. Uptown is the new fan zone behind the All-Star outfielder that will be there to back him Friday and Saturday nights. The Diamondbacks have designated a special section for designated games to increase the fan support and the support of the team. Each ticket includes a rally towel for the game and promises to be a super-charged Diamondbacks fan section. As the D-backs get ready for the 2010 baseball season, look forward to seeing supporting fans at the games. Remember to take advantage of the special events that are held by Chase Field and the Diamondbacks organization.

Conspire rests in the heart of some of the Valley’s most prized galleries — and serves as a living work of art itself. Seemingly a hub for local creatives to hang and explore new ideas or paint them on the outer walls, this lovable coffee shop slings some mean joe and is home to the legendary vegan donut. Make sure you are up early to get one — they go fast! [caption id="attachment_7651" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Behold, the mighty vegan donut!"][/caption] I managed to drag my sorry butt out of bed before noon for once so that I could partake in a memorable breakfast. Typically, my appetite is voracious if I get up early. This morning was no different. One of the joys of living in the Garfield district — aside from live mariachi music played at 1 a.m. — is being able to lace up my shoes and trot over into Conspire’s backyard. Still wiping the sleep from my eyes, I wearily ordered a vanilla-iced vegan donut and an iced mocha (don’t judge). My curiosity prolonged my anxious hunger as I took a moment to stroll through the Anarchist Library. It truly is a fun place filled with robots that I want to take home and stacks of books that I desperately need to read. I take my breakfast down the painted steps and out into the blinding Arizona sun. The first bite gives my taste buds an unexpected shock of sweetness and flavor. My inexperienced palate had not expected the softness and sweetness that it encountered. My vegan virginity was over, and it was glorious. This donut wasn’t glazed, but it sang of sugared hills. The iced mocha was a great counterpart to this scrumptious morning treat, regardless of how unmanly it is. I cannot stress how important it is to go by Conspire early to get your own supply of donut bliss. These things really do sail off the counters. The only regret I have of my last trip there was that I only got one.

Scottsdale, AZ Five-star rating 01.16.10 We went to our first show at the Orpheum Theatre last night. I thought the theatre was absolutely beautiful. I loved the intricate architecture. It felt old but stately. It's got tons of character and I found myself taking pictures everywhere. The sound was wonderful as well. We saw Jake Shimabukuro, ukulele virtuoso, there. It was a perfect venue for him. So beautiful, stately, quiet with great acoustics. It really highlighted his performance. I found out it was built from 1927-1929 in Spanish Midieval and Baroque styles. After a while, it was turned into a movie theater and remained that for years and years. They painted the murals and moldings black during the movie era. In the late 80s they started a renovation on it which was completed in 1997. They brought back much of the original design (moldings, murals, etc.) Now it's just wonderful. Anytime I see something interesting playing there, the theatre itself will definitely add to the draw.

Queen Anne style, the home was built c.1897, but it is evident that some alterations have taken place over the years. The home is brick with a stone foundation, and features a classic hip roof and hand-carved brackets at the eave. Decorative shingles on the gable, stained glass windows and a bay ell made this house a standout in its heyday. The home, built by Pugh, the editor and proprietor of the Southwestern Stockman, was occupied well into the 20th century, and received a significant alteration and addition to the rear, as well as the addition of the front courtyard, which is still in good shape despite its neglect. Today, the building sits in the shadows of O'Neil Printing and the YMCA, boarded up and in need of a power wash. It almost looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie, but it certainly could be resurrected into a great little gift shop or museum. Only time will tell...

Everyone has. Multiple times. I’m talking about the execution of Golden State Warrior Anthony Tolliver by Amar’e Stoudemire. This dunk got me thinking about all the great dunks Stoudemire has had over his career. After looking through the numerous posters Amar’e has created over the years, I was finally able to choose my top five favorite dunks of all time from the Suns All Star power forward. 5. Stoudemire vs Jeff Foster Last season in Indiana, Stoudemire had one of the best games of his career. He picked up 49 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, five steals, two blocks and one ridiculous dunk on Jeff Foster of the Pacers. The best thing about this dunk, other than Foster falling to the floor, was the look on Stoudemire's face after the play. Priceless. 4. Stoudemire vs Adonal Foyle Everybody knows this dunk. It’s insanely disgusting. Stoudemire throws yet another defender to the floor as he dunks it on Foyle’s head. On this YouTube clip, the commentators claim STAT pushes off, but I think they’re just embarrassed for Foyle. 3. Stoudemire vs Michael Olowokandi Many people probably don’t remember this, but Michael Olowokandi was the number one pick in the NBA draft when he came into the league. What people do remember about Olowokandi, though, is this facial he received courtesy of Stoudemire. This dunk is even more impressive when you consider Stoudemire was a rookie fresh out of high school at the time. The expression on Stephon Marbury’s face is classic. 2. Stoudemire vs Josh Smith I don’t hear people talk about this dunk by Stoudemire much, but it almost made my number one. My favorite thing about this play is that Josh Smith is on the receiving end. Smith is one of those guys that are extremely easy to dislike because of his attitude. It was nice to see Stoudemire put him in his place. 1. Stoudemire vs Anthony Tolliver Was there ever any doubt that this would be number one? There’s a lot to like about this dunk. One, it changed the game, allowing Phoenix to take over. Two, Anthony Tolliver was getting way too much respect from the officials for a guy fresh out of the D League. After this play, Tolliver didn’t get a single call in his favor. Three, the crowd reaction is great. On the replays, you can see Golden State fans shouting out profanities and flipping Stoudemire the bird. Hands down, best dunk I’ve ever seen.]]> 7663 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/03/25/experience-globe-worldfest/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:05:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7674 You used to have to travel the world to experience all of its culture. But, if you are in Downtown Phoenix this weekend, that is simply not the case. WorldFEST, a three-day celebration of global eats, drinks, entertainment and culture, is coming to Heritage Square Friday through Sunday, March 26-28. Van Buren and 6th streets is the cultural epicenter this weekend, and best of all, most of the events are free for the whole family. The event, put on by Phoenix Sister Cities, aims to educate Phoenicians about our friends around the world. Phoenix's nine sister cities include Catania, Italy; Ennis, Ireland; Hermosillo, Mexico; Taipei, Taiwan; Chengdu, China; Himeji, Japan; Calgary, Canada; Ramat-Gan, Israel; and Grenoble, France. A breakdown of the festivities follows.

Friday, March 26

WorldFEST opens with WorldLUNCH from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ($10 in advance by calling 602.534.3751, or $12 at the gate). Ten Phoenix restaurants will do their take on globe-spanning dishes in the comfort of a Phoenix spring afternoon. Happy hour follows from 4-10 p.m., including dozens of beers from all over the world and live music and entertainment.

Saturday, March 27

Kid's World begins at noon, where children 12 and younger will be given "passports" to visit each of Phoenix's sister cities. Activities galore, including rice writing, piñata hitting and camel riding, ensue. At 1 p.m., the WorldFEST parade launches, featuring the sweet, brassy sounds of Sandra Day O'Connor High School's 116-piece marching band. All-day festivities include a cornhole challenge to crown Phoenix's best "bagger" and, of course, samplings of all those tasty beers as well. The celebration goes until 10 p.m.

Sunday, March 28

Sunday is Asian-Pacific day, with gates opening at noon. Asian culture will be honored all day long, with more entertainment, more beer and lots more food throughout the afternoon. At 4 p.m., raffle prize (an all-inclusive U.S. Airways trip anywhere in the world; a two-night stay at the Phoenician, including dinner at Il Terrazzo and a round of golf; and use of a luxury suite at a Diamondbacks game) winners will be announced. The cornhole champ will be crowned, and an award for the best sister city booth will be handed out as well.

Simply put, ASU seeks to become a fully integrated community member. One such way is through “Communities Connect Dialogues,” a new university collaborative designed to bring ASU together with the local community in the name of learning something new. The Community Connect Dialogues allows faculty, staff, students and community members to share, connect and celebrate the spirit and diversity of ASU and its campuses. It is a collaborative effort coordinated by the Office of University Initiatives. On April 1, ASU will hold the first of these dialogues at the Downtown Phoenix campus. It will take place at the A.E. England Building in Civic Space Park between 8 a.m. and noon. The event is free and open to everyone. The dialogue will continue April 2 with action, advocacy and arts, a day filled with gallery exhibitions, art activists and special guests. Subsequent events are being scheduled at the ASU West, Polytechnic and Tempe campuses. According to Jacqueline Smith, university innovation fellow with the Office of University Initiatives, ASU is “hoping to provide a venue for participants to share their stories about collaboration and bettering our communities.” The Downtown Phoenix campus dialogue will begin with a coffee meet-up, presentations and a photo display of examples of collaboration from local organizations such as Greater Phoenix Youth at Risk and the Herberger Institute Community School for Design and the Arts. Participants will then engage in internship development and marketing strategies workshops before heading outside to the Civic Space Park for Lunch Unplugged, hosted by RadioPhoenix.org. Laci Lester, a core member of the Downtown planning team and a second-year public ally serving at the Fair Trade retail store in Civic Space Park notes, “Both communities and institutions have so much to learn from each other and the dialogues are a great place to begin. We’re hoping people will come away with a greater understanding of the nuances of working with community organizations and larger institutes, such as ASU.” The Arizona State Credit Union is serving as primary co-sponsor on all four campuses by providing refreshments, door prizes and marketing supplies. Other partners include the College of Public Programs, the Office of Public Affairs, the Office of Student Engagement, ASU Career Services and the Cultural Arts Coalition.

Tempe, AZ Four-star rating 01.28.10 I think the name and good ratings should tell most of the story. It is a house that sells great fry bread! Granted, fried bread is always good, but their take on it is great. What really keeps me coming back to this place is their hot sauce. It is a amazing blend of red peppers and a sweetness that I cannot put my finger on. I sometimes drink it straight from the bottle, much to the chagrin of people around me. For me, the fry bread is simply a good substrate to deliver this heavenly red sauce. I have tried it on savory items like the bean and cheese fry bread. I have also tried it on the sweet ones like the chocolate syrup and powdered sugar fry bread. What I am saying is TRY THE HOT SAUCE, it is groin grabbingly transcendent, as Homer Simpson would say. The menu has some non-fry bread options, but I have never seen anyone order them. The small parking lot fills quickly, so be prepared to park around the corner. The line can be long as well, as they move at their own pace. It is worth the wait. This is one calorie-laden stop that is worth a try.

Nearly every time, check that, every time I walk through the door, I am greeted with a friendly smile and a hello from the ever-changing cast of employees behind the counter of the YMCA café. I have yet to experience this from the actual front-desk staff at the Y, but that is for another blog entirely. I know you are wondering what kind of freaky-deaky food blog could possibly feature a local gym/Internal café. Well, I was under the weather during prime blog-researching time last week, so the Y was the only place I ventured. So, on my one journey out the door since early Sunday morning, I encountered a joyous event known as “Member Appreciation Day” at the Y. Groovy. After pushing grumpy people off of the machines that I like to use and encountering more nude males than I ever wanted to see in my life in the “towels are for losers” zone, a.k.a. the men’s locker room, I was relieved to be treated to a free, homemade smoothie. Strewn across a fold-out table in the lobby sat some fresh bananas, a bag of frozen strawberries, some (hopefully) fresh Tropicana orange juice, a big ole container of yogurt and a blender. My aching sore throat welcomed the refreshing thought of the smoothie. This was going to momentarily relieve all ills. My only slight: I was wishing for fresh strawberries, but given that I was tired from working out when I shouldn’t have, I was willing to let it slide and accept the frozen variety. Sooo not locally sourced. Oh well. Once our generous host slopped out heaps of cool refreshment over a safety net (ahem, a trashcan) my smoothie was in hand and immediately enjoyed. I muscled my way through a mass of people that I’m pretty sure were not members, but starving ASU students in search of sustenance. That happens a lot. Once in the clear, I waved a salutation to the friendly café worker that was working on… well, something, I guess, and then dove into my smoothie. It was delicious and refreshing. Even with sub-par frozen strawberries, my spoiled brat palate was still impressed. Each strawberry-banana-infused sip was exactly what I needed. I will give the smoothie partial credit in helping me get better. So, if you deem it worthy to lob $40 a month at a gym, the YMCA will be sure to reward you with an occasional smoothie.

Neo-Colonial Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles were a heavy influence on this block, and one house still standing today, the H.M. Coe House, is an example of a seamless mix of these styles. The Coe House, one of a dwindling amount of pre-1900 homes still left in Phoenix, features a Neo-Colonial square plan, a hip roof, a boxed eave and a half-round ventilator, combined with a Queen Anne-like offset gabled ell, decorative shingles and turned porch posts. The original brick remains, and the stone foundation was common among houses of this style. Built by Coe, a mechanic, in 1895, he and his family occupied the house for some time until after the turn of the century. Property records from the 1910s reveal a revolving cast of occupants thereafter. After the original construction, a rear addition with a carriage house was added, followed by the pressed metal roof sheathing seen on the structure today. The Coe House signage and floral arrangement in the front yard are newer additions. In the interest of full disclosure, the Coe House is now the home base for DPJ and Urban Affair operations, and a great stop on First Fridays for progressive artwork and ample conversation. Stop in some time to see a classic example of historic preservation.

While in New York, their education submerged them in the art and architecture of the city, and mid-century modern design through such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art. When they returned to Phoenix in 1999, not only did they come home to a city that had changed dramatically during their absence through much of the 1990s, but they also returned with an enhanced appreciation for the architectural heritage of the Valley. [caption id="attachment_7760" align="alignright" width="141" caption="Alison King"][/caption] According to Alison, “Our body of commercial, religious, civic, educational and residential architecture rivals that of any large modern city in the world.” Alas, much of this heritage is spread throughout the Valley, and often hidden through veils of stucco and decades of neglect. As a result, the couple engaged on a scavenger hunt of sorts, tracking down significant houses and buildings, oftentimes based on nothing more than a rumor or a hunch. When the Kings first arrived back in Phoenix, the only online outlet for mid-century enthusiasts was a small but active discussion board hosted by Dwell magazine. This board initially enabled Alison and Matthew to connect with other mid-century modern enthusiasts in the Valley. Being an early Web enthusiast, Alison started an online inventory of the research and photographs collected during these scavenger hunts. Soon, people started discovering the site, and the Modern Phoenix community found a new home. The site, ModernPhoenix.net, launched in 2003. The inaugural home tour took place in 2005 to give this growing community of mid-century enthusiasts an interactive view into restored mid-century homes. It was a small affair, with about 100 people visiting five houses in the same block in Ralph Haver’s Windemere neighborhood. The tour was inspired by discussion on the nascent Modern Phoenix discussion board, and the generosity of Shawn and Tiffany Danley, who offered to open their home to visitors even though they were still in the middle of renovations. The second tour, in 2006, was held in Paradise Gardens. It was an early turning point for Modern Phoenix. Lesley Oliver, the Marketing & Public Relations Manager for the Scottsdale Museum of Modern Art (SMoCA), attended this tour and was “blown away” at the level of effort and dedication put forth by the Kings. Lesley “couldn’t keep her mouth shut about the tour and sang every praise imaginable for Alison and Matthew.” Her enthusiasm soon convinced SMoCA’s curators that the home tour was a perfect fit for the museum, given its focus on architecture and design. SMoCA came on board as an event partner for the third tour. The museum has been a partner ever since, providing space for the expo and lectures, as well as coordinating ticket sales. This year, Modern Phoenix is returning to Paradise Valley for its sixth annual tour on April 11. In the intervening years, the home tour has grown to 700 participants and a dozen homes. It has become a nationally recognized tour, with people traveling from across the U.S. to take part. In addition, there is free a Modern Phoenix Expo on April 10. This full-fledged exposition features locally owned businesses that cater to the modern aesthetic and a roster of prominent speakers discussing the Valley's endangered pool of world-class mid-century modern architecture. Alison will speak on the work of architectural partners Ralph Haver and Jimmie Nunn. Ned Sawyer, a contemporary of Al Beadle, will speak about his apprenticeship under Beadle and his own modernist architecture since. David Tyda of EATERAZ (as well as Desert Living magazine) will host his annual panel of contemporary architects and designers working in the modernist spirit, and historian and Downtown denizen Donna Reiner will share her extensive research and imagery documenting Phoenix’s impressive collection of modern-era bank architecture. Perhaps most important, the home tour celebrates community. Alison explains:

"What really keeps me going is the opportunity to tour amazing homes and meet remarkable people who get it. When I see happy faces on our annual tour day, it fills me with such satisfaction that the appreciation is growing. Our people are doers, not lookers. I know that the ripple effect will catalyze change for the better. We have seen change magnify the last few years and many attribute it to the activism they’ve encountered on ModernPhoenix.net."

[caption id="attachment_7766" align="alignright" width="312" caption="Photo by Rob Vallee"][/caption] Yes, the home tour and expo take place outside even the most generous definition of Downtown Phoenix. However, these events are of interest to DPJ readers  because this community — like our readership — is based on far more than geography. It extends to all people interested in preserving the history and architecture of our recent past, much of which is included in and around Downtown. If you would like to experience this year's tour, you need to act fast. The tour sells out early each year — a testament to the passion of the Modern Phoenix community. At the time of publishing, there are less than 200 tickets remaining. These will go quick! If you can’t get tickets to the tour, you can always attend the expo or one of the many related events listed on the Modern Phoenix week itinerary.

Progressive. Energetic. Fierce. Gut-bustingly hilarious. That's the Phoenix Fringe Festival, and it's invading Downtown Phoenix arts districts again starting this weekend. The festival's motto is "Go Fringe Yourself!," and since there is so much to see and experience, you could be Fringing yourself all week long. The Fringe is spread across Roosevelt Row (Space 55, Modified Arts, Warehouse 1005), Lower Grand (the Chocolate Factory, Soul Invictus) and the Midtown Arts District (Little Theatre), so plan ahead where you want to be. The performances range wildly in content and presentation, so be prepared. There's choreographed dancing ("FDance Exposure" at Modified Arts), Vaudeville ("The Slomski Brothers" at Modified Arts), performing sans lighting ("We Do it in the Dark" at the Chocolate Factory) and folk music ("The Tribulations of a Lesbian Folk Singer" at Soul Invictus). That only scratches the surface. Fringe performers hail from the Valley, Sedona, Philadelphia, Australia, New York, Richmond, San Francisco, Detroit, Los Angeles, Albuquerque and Canada, so expect some cultural divides. It only adds to the mayhem. If last year's fest is any indication, expect audience participation, laughter, tears, loud noises and lots of makeup. Tickets ($5 to $15) are purchased on a show-by-show basis, and are available online or at the door. The festival runs April 2-11, see schedule for details. Post-show parties are scheduled April 2-3 at the Paisley Violin, April 9 at the Lost Leaf and April 10 at Bragg's Pie Factory.

Editor's pick

If you can only see one Fringe performance, make it "Picnics at the Asylum," at the Chocolate Factory April 2-4 and 10-11. California-bred Angela Neff tells the true-life story of her dad's transition from successful Silicon Valley family man to a love-preaching streetwalker in Phoenix's skids during the 1980s. "Picnics" is humorous, intensely powerful and heart-breakingly profound.

Fans will be able to purchase discount tickets that come with a Suns/Star Wars t-shirt and the opportunity to take pictures with some of their favorite Star Wars characters. Throughout the evening, fans will be treated to in-game Star Wars entertainment, including “Star Wars on Planet Orange” player introduction videos, a Gorilla light saber duel and the Phoenix Suns Dancers dressed in Princess Leia costumes. “This is going to be a fun night for our fans of all ages, from those who remember watching the original Star Wars film in the theaters in 1977, to those young fans who are growing up with The Clone Wars animated series today,” said Jeramie McPeek, Suns Vice President of Digital and a self-proclaimed Star Wars nerd. “We are very proud to be partnering with such a strong brand, known around the world and throughout the galaxy. The Force is strong on Planet Orange.” If the past success of the Planet Orange, Facebook and Twitter nights the Suns held this year are any indication, “Star Wars Night” should be a big hit with Suns fans. Not only will fans be treated to the in-game entertainment and another night of exciting, fast-paced basketball provided by the league’s highest-scoring team, but fans are also encouraged to dress up as their favorite Star Wars characters. However, fans must keep in mind that masks and weapons will not be permitted. Phoenix Suns Charities will receive a portion of the proceeds from the sales of tickets purchased through the special offer for “Star Wars Night.” Fans can purchase tickets at suns.com/starwars, with tickets starting at $26.

The week-long celebration of all things mid-century modern in the Valley always culminates with a tour of a dozen or so stunning Valley homes in a modernist-preserved neighborhood. But, before the home tour, which falls on April 11 this year, there are plenty of events all over the Valley to unveil the modernist within. First Friday is the unofficial kick-off, with Phoenix Metro Retro hosting an Al Beadle-themed night of art and conversation. Beadle is the quintessential mid-century Valley architect, and though his buildings dot Midtown, Uptown, North Central and points beyond (including a wacky motel in Gila Bend), this show will focus on the ill-fated Safari Hotel, which once stood across the street from today's ever-expanding Scottsdale Fashion Square. Vintage photographs and some cool Safari-themed swag will be on hand, as well as selected maquettes for steel sculpture designed by Beadle himself. New artwork by Modern Phoenix founder Alison King will also line the walls, and Heidi Abrahamson's stunning silversmith jewelry will be on hand as well. Phoenix Metro Retro is located at 708 W.

Some fans would agree that opening day should be a national holiday. Since it’s not, some of us will be ditching work with our Pops to catch the game. The Arizona Diamondbacks will begin the season facing the San Diego Padres as Jon Garland is scheduled to face Dan Haren on the mound. It should make for an exciting game. For those that have not had a chance to attend opening day, there will be plenty of pomp and circumstance prior to the first pitch. Last year, the Diamondbacks won their home opener, but were off to a shaky start and ended the season in last place in the National League West. Losing is never fun, but in and around Chase Field, the fun never stops. There is plenty to do before and after the game, and we’ll be highlighting some of the happenings throughout the season, as we follow the D-backs in this exciting new season of baseball. This year, the Diamondbacks have a surprising amount of depth and talent and made some smart moves during the off-season. Fans will be pleased to hear that Baseball Prospectus (MLB’s prediction authority) has the D-backs in a close race for second place in their division. With new additions in the field and on the mound, 2010 should be an exciting year for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Thinking about heading to Chase Field for a game? Take the light rail. The stations at Washington/Jefferson and 3rd Street drop you off right at the stadium!

The 40-year-old rents out a Garfield rehearsal space and recording studio to local bands and artists for a fraction of the cost that competing recording studios charge. Mattingly says he charges only what is necessary in order to “keep the lights on.” Rehearsal time is rented at $10 an hour, and recording time is $20 an hour. “My goal was to make [recording an album] affordable to anybody,” he says. [caption id="attachment_7788" align="alignright" width="430" caption="Perfect Timing Entertainment owner Mike Mattingly"][/caption] The studio is located in a historic home on the corner of 7th and Pierce streets, offering a unique, warm recording sound all its own to enhance music of every type. “I don’t care what genre it is, as long as it’s real,” Mattingly says about the types of artists and acts he sees coming through the studio. But, the beautiful, old home was not originally meant to be a recording studio, accordingly to Mattingly, who grew up a self-proclaimed “army brat,” spending his youth on a base in Germany and picking up drumming at the age of 12. His father, Tom, and his mother, Alice, opened an antique store in the States because of Alice’s love for old treasures. Mattingly’s love for music, combined with his mother’s passion for restoring antiquities, led the family to purchase the condemned buildings at the intersection. His plan was to restore the buildings for commercial purposes with the help of the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office, which agreed to provide the family with grants to help them on the project. The building currently housing Perfect Timing Entertainment was originally meant to be a pub and restaurant, with a patio dining area and an outdoor performing space. The recording studio was intended for the carriage house behind the home; one of only 20 original carriage houses left in Downtown Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_7789" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Inside the studio"][/caption] “We wanted to create a space like Heritage Square, for the arts,” says Mattingly, who envisioned art show openings and charity concert events in the space. But, after 10 years of struggling to meet city codes and repeated denials for funding at every turn, Mattingly now sees his dream as nearly impossible to achieve. Mattingly's restaurant was open for only a month before the city told him to shut down due to violations of several city codes, including the lack of a paved parking lot. There are several other businesses without problems within walking distance of Mattingly's properties that lack paved parking lots. Mattingly says it’s frustrating because, while he has been struggling with the city for 10 years, he has watched multiple businesses open their doors and be given the time to grow, without meeting every single code he has been told he must meet before he can open. He wants to keep Perfect Timing open as long as he can, but at this point, he says that moving to a new location is almost inevitable. He says that he’s still in love with Downtown Phoenix, but the whole situation has made him bitter. When Mattingly's father died, his mother was forced to refinance the property, and though he has finally agreed to grants that would pay for the completion of the projects, Mattingly has encountered several more obstacles that prohibited him from moving forward. The Historic Preservation Office agreed to a grant of $151,000 for the remodel of the building, but Mattingly says he has received bids from construction companies in excess of $400,000. The lenders that refinanced the property are also disinclined to grant remodeling permissions, so the project is on hold indefinitely. Mattingly would have to find a second lender willing to refinance the property and allow him to continue with the restoration, and he would need a construction team willing to work within his budget. Mattingly says the entire process has been a nightmare. He has poured his life savings into the project and has slowly watched his dream disappear. “It would take a miracle to finish this project now,” he confesses. It is more likely that he will have to sell the property and move Perfect Timing Entertainment to a new location in Downtown Phoenix, but he worries about what will become of the condemned buildings if they are not restored. “My hope is that, if I can’t finish this project, then someone else will,” he says. “I’d hate to see this area turn into a metal strip mall.” Mike wants to remain working in the Downtown Phoenix area, despite his problems with the city, because he loves the culture and the people. “All this hasn’t changed the fact that I love Downtown,” he says, adding that, while embittered with the city’s bureaucratic process, the city itself is still home to him. For Mike, the most important thing is maintaining the ability to help others through the arts. “It’s never been about me,” he says. “It’s bigger than me.” Perfect Timing Entertainment is located at 617 N. 7th St. in Garfield.

Contrary to the name, the place does not specialize in chili, much to my chagrin, but it does serve up some raucously good Chinese food. So, in my mind, it’s only halfway false advertising. Interestingly enough, you are greeted by a giant, waving, golden cat as you walk in. Basically, the décor is like most other Chinese restaurants you have ever been to. In other words, old people dining in the corner, a golden Buddha statue awaiting a belly rub and oddly bright light fixtures adorning every few feet of the ceiling. This particular trek was made with DPJ managing editor Si Robins in tow. In keeping with the odd couple theme, he schooled me on how the Jewish folk have their own Christmas traditions. Apparently, it is common to find most of the chosen community dining at the local Chinese restaurant on Christmas Day. Sounds like an interesting dining experience to say the least. However, on this night, I was on a mission to tackle a mountain of cuisine named in homage of our fair city, the Chicken in Phoenix Nest. It consists of a mound of chicken, peppers, onions and carrots in a black bean sauce, but with a kicker — it’s served in a crispy potato “nest.” Yes, it looks exactly like it sounds. When it was brought out to my table, the interwoven strands of potato perfectly resembled a finely constructed nest. What makes it impressive is that it was scrumptious. The crispiness of the encasing “nest” countered the soft, succulent chicken bites harmoniously. And, even though bean sauce doesn’t jump off the page as a description of taste bud bliss, the soy sauce-esque mixture holds the entire dish together. It felt like a Jewish Christmas dinner in my mouth, complete with the celebratory shouts of joy. Mazel tov, China Chili, you have concocted a fine dish. Even though I raised my voice in joyous praise to the dinner, I could not finish it. The generous portion makes this a meal worth a stop next time you're in Midtown Phoenix. There is good reason that China Chili boasts the praise of several locals as “the best Chinese restaurant around.” This humble, Southern gentleman will have to absolutely agree. China Chili is located at 302 E.

I like Petsmart and will still go there for food and grooming, but our dog trainer told us about Ryan's and my first visit made me a fan. I was unsure at first and had to ask about the "rules" like no purses allowed — they lock 'em up in a cage behind the registers and give you a number to retrieve them later. Also there's a $25 minimum so don't go unless you need a few things. And the catalog is king. Prices aren't marked on items only listed in the catalog. I shopped blind (just got what I wanted without consulting the catalog) and spent a little more than I had anticipated, but it would have been a heckova lot more at any retail pet place.

Unfortunate as it is that Nine|05 recently closed without notice at 905 N. 4th St., it may be a fitting time to glimpse at the history of the property on the corner of 4th and Garfield streets. Blighted for so many years, and surrounded to the west, south and southeast by vacant lots, this property has long faced an uphill battle.

The building at 905 was built c. 1919, and was known by neighbors as the E.F. Drake House. Drake, a prominent lawyer in Phoenix in the 1910s and '20s, lived in the modest single-family home on the (then) north end of town, but it probably looked much different back then.

Renovations for Fate, nextDOOR, Nine|05 and the never-completed Canteen changed the property quite a bit, yet much of the history remains. The original poured concrete foundation is still there, but much of the stucco laid on the walls was blasted away to expose the original brick. The home's original wooden rafters are still a beauty to behold, and remain unaltered save for some simple wood treatments.

The home once had a backyard shed and a rear porch, the latter of which was removed at an unknown date, according to the state historic property inventory.

When the home was rezoned commercially, it was only in fair condition. Today, even though it currently sits vacant, it features unique modern touches coupled with the historic charm of a simple family home from the 1910s.

"We just need to continue to toughen up and get ready. Once the playoffs start, it’s a different game, the intensity level picks up. The refs are going to call the games differently.” Before the start of last season, when the Suns signed Amundson, like most others, most probably figured he was just picked up as a cheap roster filler. As quickly as Lou won fans over with his defense and hustle on the court, he became a fan favorite for living in Downtown Phoenix and riding his bike to practice. “I like it a lot. It’s still developing. It needs a few things,” the backup power forward says of Downtown. “It needs a grocery store, and kind of everyday-type things, but there’s really great, unique little spots Downtown. You get that kind of homegrown feel. You don’t really get that in Scottsdale or anywhere else.” Amundson enjoys lots of different places to eat in the Downtown area, including his favorite joint. “My favorite restaurant in Phoenix is Pizzeria Bianco,” Amundson says. “Matt’s Big Breakfast is another good spot. They have really good lunch, actually. They have a BLT that is phenomenal.” For Suns fans that want Amundson on Twitter, that day should be coming soon. A few weeks back, daughter of head coach Alvin Gentry, Alexis, informed fans that Lou had advised her that he would be getting a Twitter account real soon. “I’m going to do it," he reveals. "I’m going to have to do it now. I gave her my word, so I’m going to have to set one up.” That didn't stop Twitter users from sending in questions for DPJ to ask Lou. He was gracious enough to answer a few below. @LateNightCat: Boxer or briefs? Lou: “Boxer briefs. A little bit of both.” @GmarieO: What type of hair ties do you use to hold back that glorious hair of yours? Lou: “Well, this is a very important piece of equipment for me. They’re called Goody, I believe. They have elastic on them, so they’re like sports hair ties. I just recently got these purple ones. They’re the playoff hair ties.” @LateNightCat: What type of music do you listen to? Lou: “I listen to everything. Hip-hop, to R&B, to indie rock. Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of R&B and soul-type stuff. A lot of the old school guys — Bill Withers, Sly and the Family Stone. Those guys are great. New people, Mayor Hawthorne has a new CD that’s out — real good.

The D-backs won their home opener by a score of 6 to 3 to start the season on a good foot. Opening day at Chase Field was packed, as fans played hooky to catch the first day of baseball. In the following game of the series, the D-backs were at the mercy of Padres’ Adrian Gonzalez’s hitting. Gonzalez hit home runs in back-to-back games for the Padres as he challenged Arizona's pitching. In the final game of the San Diego series, pitcher Ian Kennedy pitched eight strikeouts on the night for the team, but gave up three runs as the D-backs held on to win the game and the series against the Padres. Throughout the series, the D-backs showed signs of power as they hit a total of six homers in the first three games of the season, two of which came from newcomer Kelly Johnson. The Diamondbacks gear up to face the Pittsburgh Pirates through the weekend before they travel to Southern California to face the Dodgers and the Padres. Tuesday’s game looks to be a great one, as Arizona hopes to spoil the Dodgers’ home opener. The Pirates come to Phoenix this weekend after winning the series against the Dodgers two to one. Overall, this week was a great week for Phoenix sports, as the D-backs won their opening series, the Coyotes won home ice advantage in the playoffs and the Suns defeated their arch nemesis, the San Antonio Spurs. Just a reminder that Friday night is fireworks night at Chase Field, where there will be fireworks after the end of the game. The Diamondbacks will return to Phoenix on April 19, facing the St. Louis Cardinals.]]> 7816 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/04/12/frye/ Mon, 12 Apr 2010 17:42:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7839 [/caption] Editor's note: Channing Frye, a local basketball standout who has returned to the Valley this year to play for the Suns, is planting some fantastic seeds in the Downtown Phoenix community with his CFrye Foundation. DPJ writer Danielle LeClair, Frye's cousin, was able to sit down with the busy Suns forward in between three-pointers and playoff-implicating road trips to chat about his involvement in the community. As if it’s not rare enough to make it to the NBA and fulfill your childhood dreams, it is even more rare to be able to do it in the city where it all began. For Channing Frye, that rarity became a reality after only four years playing professional basketball. Frye attended St. Mary’s High School in Midtown Phoenix. During his years at St. Mary’s, Frye had no idea that he was establishing a fan base that would follow him throughout his professional career. After four years at the University of Arizona, Frye was the eighth overall draft pick in 2005 to the New York Knicks. He would than go on to play two years with the Knicks, followed by two years with the Portland Trailblazers. Frye has since found a home with the Phoenix Suns back here in Phoenix, a city that has welcomed his return with open arms. “It’s a great feeling, being able to return and play for the city where I grew up,” Frye says. Upon returning to Phoenix, Frye quickly got to work laying the roots of his foundation. The multifaceted CFrye Foundation primarily focuses on youth with programs like CFrye 3 Point Health and Wellness, the CFrye Bull Dogs and Danielle’s Corner. With a different emphasis in each program, the goal throughout all remains as consistent as Frye’s three-point shot: self-esteem. “We're now moving to get the CFrye 3 Point Health and Wellness Program in every school in Phoenix, grades 3-12," Frye reveals. "Our goal is to reduce risk factors like obesity [and] poor nutrition that all affect self-esteem in young people." The CFrye Bull Dogs, a collection of youth basketball teams, is a place where Frye and his foundation attempt to “teach young men about responsibility and leadership,” Frye says. The Bull Dogs, who practice in Downtown Phoenix, are focused on parent involvement. “We’re currently looking for volunteers to help with our youth, and what better place to start than in the heart of Phoenix?” Frye says. While the Bull Dogs' mission is to instill responsibility in the kids who participate, Danielle’s Corner is attempting to alleviate some responsibility. The group, which has teamed up with the National MS Society, is quickly becoming a safe haven where children of parents with MS come to escape the very grown-up realities of their demanding childhood. “In November, we hosted 50 kids and family members from Danielle’s Corner to a Suns game," Frye says. "To see their faces makes you understand what giving back really means." An NBA career is one without guarantees, and knowing that is simply a part of the game. Frye, who declined the player option on his Suns contract for the 2010-11 season, hopes to resign with the team this summer. Regardless, he is committed to keeping the roots of the CFrye Foundation here in Phoenix. For the immediate future, Frye continues to be an essential part of the Suns' winning season. His passion for his foundation and his hometown are evident in his committed involvement in the community. An avid blogger, Frye is constantly updating his fans about his favorite restaurants and hot spots in Phoenix. “It’s where I grew up, it’s my hometown,” Frye says.]]> 7839 0 0 0 2810 http://www.EbatesCashBack.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/04/13/sips-grub-classic-burger-original-burger-works/ Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:19:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7857 This blog might go down as my own personal attempt at a Man vs. Food battle, or it might have opened the flood gates for more gluttony. You will have to be the judge of what carnage may this way come. I realized that I rarely venture to the west side of Downtown Phoenix. This is something that must change. But, because I shoot hoops on a weekly basis at Encanto Park, I am fully aware of the tantalizing smells that waft down 15th Avenue from The Original Burger Works. It definitely makes for a formidable distraction. So, after a round of lobbing up airballs, I felt it finally time to find out if the heavenly scents were tied to some amazing, gut-endusing cuisine. I mosey (this was required for the full experience) into the doors to find a place in line. The extensive list of burgers and a congo line of toppings makes for a big decision. My eyes finally landed on the Classic Burger, a half-pound of beef topped with mushrooms, bacon and my personal choice of cheese (provolone, duh). I waited patiently for my medium-cooked burger in the lively bar area. Seemingly, all of the patrons knew each other and were willing to dish out the dialogue loudly. I’m not sure why we all had to know that Steve (who was trying to quietly enjoy a Bud Light at the bar) sucks at golf, but we all found out anyway. Aside from the colorful chatter in the bar, there is a cool covered patio where you can enjoy your burger and a game of horseshoes. Those types of things always go together. I chose to enjoy the colorful patrons and my enormous burger in the bar area. Once it arrived, I knew that I had the typical case of my eyes being bigger than my stomach. But, that didn’t stop me from taking my fresh burger over to the DIY topping bar and loading it up with tomatoes, pepperocinis, lettuce and all the fixins. Once this beast was topped off, it was truly a sight to behold. For all of the anticipation, this burger delivered a fresh, beefy response to my annoying hunger. My empty stomach took the elbow drop of this half-pounder on and it was an epic battle to the finish. Eventually, my glutton-like desire took over and I knocked out the epic burger (albeit, slower than my compatriots). I offer you the task of knocking out a Phoenix favorite in the Classic Burger. Heck, try to knock out any of the half-pound burgers. It truly is a task that will push your stomach to the fullest it has been in a while. In my humble opinion, they should change the entrance sign to “Welcome to Burger Heaven.” The Original Hamburger Works is located at 2801 N. 15th Ave. in Encanto-Palmcroft. ]]> 7857 0 0 0 2042 http://travel-blogs.org/phoenix/sips-and-grub-the-classic-burger-at-the-original-burger%c2%a0works/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/04/14/dpj-yelper-week-jeff-revolver-records/ Wed, 14 Apr 2010 15:03:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7883 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 03.17.10 Being a record nerd in Phoenix used to be a bit more difficult. Granted, there are a couple good record stores, ones that as a record nerd I have spent hundreds of dollars at, but there was always a void that had to be filled with trips to San Francisco or Los Angeles. Revolver Records fills that void. Any self-respecting record nerd must fill his/her shelves with obscure Krautrock, prog, psych and jazz. And Revolver has it, along with less obtuse titles. The thing that I find most impressive is that they are always buying records, when going through their new arrivals section it is always full of new things, not the same records that have been their for months. They also have bands play their on First Friday and have live experimental music on Sunday nights. I am so glad that Revolver opened in Phoenix and am glad that I can give them my hard-earned cash in exchange for cool records.

Roosevelt St. in Roosevelt [caption id="attachment_7922" align="aligncenter" width="440" caption="The Phoenix Chorale performs inside Trinity Cathedral. Photo courtesy of Phoenix Chorale."][/caption] Just a block west of the Central and Roosevelt light rail station sits one of the Valley's most striking church campuses. Trinity Cathedral, which has been on the corner of 1st Avenue and Roosevelt Street since the mid-1910s, is a towering Mission Revival sanctuary that serves as a gorgeous welcoming into the Roosevelt Historic District. The church itself, which has two wings centered around a three-sided courtyard facing Roosevelt Street, was conceptualized by Boston architectural firm Shelpey, Rutan and Coolidge. The design for the structure began in 1910, but various factors kept the church from breaking ground until 1915. Shelpey, Rutan and Coolidge began the several-year project, but Coolidge later finished it with his subsequent firm, Coolidge and Shattuck. The two-story stone structures you see today, red-tiled roofs and all, are true to the original design and build of the church. Any additions or fixes to the buildings, noted as "sensitive additions" by the Phoenix Historic Building Survey, were done with the utmost care. The iron and stained glass doors have been added, but they are in line with the historical feel. The structures themselves are virtually unaltered, except for small touches like new windows and tile repairs.

Turns out I was right. (Be sure to disregard my picks for the other teams, though.) My point isn’t to brag about how I was right, but rather to point out how goals change. [caption id="attachment_7966" align="alignright" width="397" caption="The Suns have been on a tear of late. Photo courtesy of FOXNews."][/caption] The Suns probably would have said the same thing before they played a game. Early in the season, however, it was apparent the Suns would make the playoffs. Come February, it looked as if the Suns had a chance to get the fourth seed, so the goal changed. The last two weeks of the season saw the Suns with a legitimate shot at picking up the two spot, so the goal changed once more. Suns ended up with the three seed and the goal has changed yet again. Rather than just be satisfied about making the playoffs, the Suns are now looking to make some noise, and rightfully so. With the way the Suns are playing now, there is no reason to think they do not have a realistic shot at making the Western Conference Finals or even, dare I say, the NBA Finals. The West is wide open. The Lakers are no longer the clear-cut favorite to represent the West in the Finals. Every team has injury problems. Every team has a chance to advance deep. So, why not the Suns? With that, I say, bring on the Portland Trailblazers and the rest of the Western Conference. When the Blazers roll into town this week, there is a good chance they’ll be without their superstar guard, Brandon Roy. I fully expect the Suns to come out prepared. With Roy possibly out of the lineup, I believe Phoenix will jump on Portland early and often. We need to do our part as well, though. The atmosphere at US Airways Center has already changed. The last three regular season games against the Spurs, Rockets and Nuggets had a different vibe to them. This is the time of the year that gets fans pumped. Pumped like only a Danny Granger/Channing Frye altercation can get fans pumped midway through the regular season. Fans have been intense the last few home games. Let’s keep it that way. Let’s bring out the foam fingers, the orange and purple wigs and the face paint and hold nothing back. The Coyotes have the “white-out” for the playoff run, so why can’t we have an “ORNG out?” Our team has home court advantage for at least the first round of the NBA playoffs. We’re the sixth man.

The Cardinals have been solid for the past few years, as Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday bring the lumber to Chase Field. Chris Carpenter is also a pretty challenging pitcher for the entire league to face, as the pitchers for the series have yet to be nailed down. The D-backs will look to maintain their momentum as the relief staff has shown signs of inconsistency but is not quite as bad as last year. The team has also executed on some excellent defense, despite the two errors on Thursday night, and appears to be doing a pretty good job of providing more run support than the team of last year. Most fans may already know that taking advantage of the METRO light rail is an excellent way to dodge the parking fees and get to the ballpark. If you are meeting up with a group, there are plenty of places nearby to grab some food or a pregame beverage. So, throw on your D-backs gear and get to the game anyway that you know how to support your team as they prepare to face off against some of the toughest teams in the National League East.]]> 7972 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/04/16/third-friday-check-children/ Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:16:06 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=7981 Modified Arts has taken to debuting new art shows on Third Fridays, and the atmosphere is nothing short of perfect. We all know Third Fridays are the chill counterpart to their bustling sibling two weeks prior, but Modified has become an unofficial hub of Third Friday activity during the past several months. Bright, open and inviting for conversation and contemplation, this rethought space is perfect for an artist's reception. [caption id="attachment_7982" align="alignright" width="200" caption=""Death's Head Moth" by Corkey Sinks"][/caption] Tonight is the debut of Chicago-based artist Corkey Sinks' "Check the Children," a collection that "explores modern incarnations of mythology, folklore, fairy tales, superstition, and urban legend in horror film and teen culture." What makes Sinks particularly interesting, besides the name, is the vast use of mixed media: sketches, installation, sculpture, GIF animation and video. The result is an atmospheric show that engages the senses. Needless to say, the art provides a bit of spook and scare, but the tactic is meant to be a catalyst for further thought and discussion. The artist's reception runs tonight from 6-9 p.m., and the show will run through mid-May (gallery is open Fridays and Saturdays and by appointment). Modified Arts is located at 407 E.

Although the festival has had several venues over the years, many of its supporters agree that the Herberger is a perfect fit for the unscripted, never predictable art of improvisation. Spanning over three days, there were numerous improv groups performing from all over the country, special guest appearances and droves of devoted Phoenicians. Friday night's showing consisted of four improv troupes. The groups hailed from New York to Los Angeles, with some homegrown talent sprinkled in. With almost every seat filled, the electricity radiated through the Herberger, and while fan participation was not specifically requested, it was certainly present and welcomed by the performers. ”The improv here is on par with anywhere in the U.S.,” said Lisa Takata, who has faithfully followed the festival since the beginning. It’s hard to believe that only nine years ago the Phoenix Improv Festival hosted its flagship performance with just three local improv troupes on the lineup. But, while the show has expanded beyond the local comedy groups, they are still very much a key participant in the festival. Valley natives The Light Rail Pirates were one of the two featured groups Friday night. Christopher Williams, a performer in the comedy troupe and a resident of Downtown Phoenix, said he loves being able to perform at the Herberger. “The growth down here has been amazing,” Williams said, referring not only to the growth of the festival, but also of Downtown as a whole. Accompanying the Light Rail Pirates were Searching for X, based in Phoenix; Dumpster Tequila out of New York and Dr. God from Los Angeles. Dr. God surprised and pleased the audience with a guest appearance from feature film actor Matthew Lillard, who stared in movies like Scream and Scooby Doo. Mark Jordan, the emcee of the festival, host of HGTV’s Over Your Head, local improv performer and native Arizonian, is pleased to see the growth of art in Phoenix. “It’s amazing how far Phoenix has really come in the art scene, as a whole,” Jordan said. Although, no longer a full-time resident of Phoenix due to filming in Los Angeles, Jordan says he is in the Valley at least once a month, not only hosting, but also performing. “I love Phoenix, I cant seem to get away from this place,” Jordan said. The three-day festival was packed with performances, workshops and networking for improvisers and anyone who has an appreciation of improvisation. The annual event is produced by Carefree Write Productions, a nonprofit organization that supports networks for developing local artist.

Queen Creek, AZ Five-star rating 04.03.10 I know what you are thinking looking at my photo — dude, you're fat. You can't do yoga. Not only that, but I am as flexible as a board. Nevertheless, I took advantage of the Groupon recently that provided one month unlimited yoga and a 60-minute Swedish massage for $50 — so I am definitely going to get as much as I can from the place. One thing I really like is that it is conveniently located next to the light rail. The Osborn stop is right there in front of the studio. My first visit I thought it was difficult to find — the studio is on the side of the One Lexington building, but I couldn't see that from the street. There is a parking garage next to the studio, which makes parking convenient if you drive. The studio is very clean and peaceful. I like the boutique, although they do not have many fat boy clothes. The locker rooms are very nice and clean. I love the sinks. A locker is available to store your items while in class. The rooms where the classes are held are nice and spacious. I started with the Slow Flow class and also went to the Zen class. Both instructors were excellent and even though I looked like Kung-Fu Panda, I didn't feel uncomfortable. It was interesting to see that the students were all ages, both men and women. A very good mix and all have been friendly. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you do not have a yoga mat, you can rent one for $2. If you live in Central Phoenix, this would be an ideal location. The problem for me is that I live way out in Queen Creek, so I doubt I'll go on the weekends, but it isn't too bad coming from work. Definitely give this place a try if you live in town. Don't worry if you have never tried yoga — I have found the staff and instructors very helpful in working with newbies. Urban Yoga is located at 3225 N.

Albeit glacially, the Phoenix area — especially Central Phoenix — has begun to better represent its Hispanic roots in a more pronounced (and edible) way. From serious taco shops, to Mexican seafood beyond the fish taco, to the overflowing popularity of Mexican grocery stores, to regional cuisine radiating from areas outside of Sonora, we are definitely getting there. Enter Phoenix’s newest example of maturation: Verde. It has now been nearly one year since rumblings of this casual, neighborhood eatery first registered. Well situated just off Roosevelt Row, on the southeastern corner of 1st and Garfield streets, the new restaurant intends to direct an upstanding focus on not only the food, but also the neighborhood as well. Verde is the creation of dedicated local restaurant veteran, co-chefs/managers Joseph Aguayo, and Matt Avilla, who has worked for Hillstone Restaurant Group in the past. [caption id="attachment_8014" align="alignleft" width="360" caption="Verde's backyard graffiti wall"][/caption] Verde hopes to give serious limelight to regional Mexican cooking. The concept is "old styles in new ways." Though it is casual in setting, expect chef-driven cuisine with a strong neighborhood feel. Part of the new restaurant’s fast-casual orientation is a walk-up counter, and self-seating. Verde’s menu aims to be a straightforward relay of inexpensive, high-caliber food — organic, locally sourced and housemade whenever possible. Dependent on a subsequent liquor license, Verde also plans to offer a modest selection of beers, wine and unfussy cocktails. Besides some rotating daily specials such as menudo and tamales, the angle is clearly an uncomplicated menu. The menu will be simple, but sharp. Aguayo adds plainly, “Beef, chicken, pork, fish, that’s it — all done very well. Nothing complicated.” On display to both interior patrons and pedestrians passing streetside exists another highly anticipated signature of Verde: the “tortilla room.” Angled in a corner adjacent to the main dining space exists a small, enclosed prep room with a large wood-burning brick oven (using Arizona-sourced pecan wood) designed solely for daily tortilla-making duties. [caption id="attachment_8015" align="alignright" width="300" caption="An ode to the local food movement"][/caption] The gutted circa-1930s building, once the address of a crude strip club in the 1980s and, more recently, an independent arts and new-age worship venue, has been thoughtfully transformed into a bright, reliably modern space, with a welcoming neighborhood sensibility. With the majority of materials used in its construction and design either locally reclaimed or efficiently sourced, "Verde" is more than just another name — it is also an eco-conscious badge of honor. At buildout, nearly 80% of all materials used will be considered ‘green’ in one way or another, including the no-gas, energy-efficient kitchen; low-water-usage bathrooms; and countless examples of recycled wood used throughout, from the serving counters to the tables and chairs. Simple picnic tables abutting Verde’s entrance on 1st Street will soon provide casual seating options for the outdoor inclined. In the hopefully not-too-distant future (the city of Phoenix’s medieval permitting process allowing), the owners eventually hope to transform the building’s backdoor parking lot, decorated colorfully by local and nationally respected graffiti artists, into some sort of dual dining/event space to be utilized during special events, most notably on First Fridays. [caption id="attachment_8016" align="alignleft" width="400" caption="The soon-to-be-infamous tortilla oven"][/caption] One of the many playful, standout design elements — an “ode to the local food community”— is a massive collage of local newspaper clippings from various periodicals’ food sections on display as patrons first enter. With each page or cutout glazed over, preserved like a time capsule of local food media coverage, it is a clear omen Verde will exist to not only please local diners with improved Mexican fare, but to also please the maturing city and neighborhood it so proudly represents. Open for lunch and dinner initially, Verde will eventually serve breakfast and late-night menus, and yes, possibly even lofty 24-hour weekend service. Verde is located at 825 N. 1st St. in Evans Churchill (light rail station at Central/Roosevelt) — 602.254.4400

Adams St. in Copper Square [caption id="attachment_8008" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Photo by Paul Valach"][/caption] Just across the pathway from Pizzeria Bianco in Heritage Square sits the Teeter House. It has been many things during its storied past, including a single-family residence, events space, live music hub and most recently an English-style tea parlor. Its evolution will continue this summer, as famed Valley chef Nobuo Fukuda opens Nobuo at the Teeter House in the reworked but carefully preserved space. Built in 1899, the 1.5-story home is a classic Neo-Colonial Revival example, with common brickwork and a stone foundation. The recessed porch, a quality shared with several other buildings in Heritage Square, features Colonial columns, a clear sign of a well-built home from that era. The hip roof, another common trait of the era, includes a boxed cornice and wood shingles. You may sometimes see the home coined the "Teeter-Bouvier House" in historical documents, referring to the home's builder, Leon Bouvier. Bouvier purchased the home site in 1898, and built the home a year later to serve as a rental property. A Canadian cattleman and flour mill owner, Bouvier came to Arizona in 1877 to boost business in the expanding Southwest. Ironically, his legacy is left with the Teeter House, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Jump on Portland early The Suns need to come out with the same intensity to start game three that they had to start game two. Force Portland into taking bad shots, grab the boards and run. The crowd at the Rose Garden is sure to be fired up, so Phoenix would be wise to take them out from the get-go. If the guys from Planet Orange can pick up the tempo early, the Trailblazers won’t have the offensive firepower to keep up, and we could see another one-sided affair. On the flip side, if Portland is able to control the pace and turn the game into a grind-it-out dogfight, Phoenix can still be greatly effective. Just feed the ball to Grant Hill or Jason Richardson and let them pound the Blazer guards on the inside and all will be well on Planet Orange.

2. Amar’e must be aggressive

[caption id="attachment_8029" align="alignright" width="340" caption="The Suns have to effectively contain Andre Miller. Photo courtesy of Getty Images."][/caption] In game one of the series, Suns forward Amar’e Stoudemire showed Portland center Marcus Camby way too much respect. I’m not sure if it was in STAT’s head or what, but he forced too many jump shots on Sunday. In game two on Tuesday, Stoudemire did a much better job of attacking Camby and the other Portland bigs and earned some more free throws for his efforts. Camby may be a good defender, but if Amar’e attacks him, Amar’e will get his way. Amar'e is just too big and fast for Camby to shut down. Sure, Camby will cause some problems and stop him on occasion, but at the end of the day, this is a battle Amar'e will win. While Amar'e’s scoring totals from the first two games were identical, the second game was a much more effective performance. When he is aggressive and driving hard to the basket, he not only gets to the charity stripe, but he also causes the opposition’s defense to collapse. As a result, outside-shooting Suns like Jason Richardson benefited greatly by getting a little more space to get off wide-open looks. If Amar’e continues to be aggressive on the offensive end, this series is in the bag for Phoenix.

3. Shut down Andre Miller

Without Brandon Roy, Portland’s only shot to even remain competitive in this series is to make sure Andre Miller has an explosion on the offensive end, much like he did in game one. In game two, Suns coach Alvin Gentry made a great defensive adjustment by placing Grant Hill on Miller. Miller basically has no outside jumper, so he must back down his defender to score. With the taller Hill and Jared Dudley putting a body on him, Miller was virtually useless in the second game. Phoenix must come out with this same plan in game three. Shut down Miller, and the game is over before it starts. If you’re curious to see if the Suns can implement these keys into a victory, be sure to head over to Native New Yorker in Tempe (1301 E. Broadway Rd.) where the Suns will be hosting a playoff viewing party along with Sports 620 KTAR and Budweiser. The Gorilla, along with members of the Sunsationals and Verve Sol Patrol, will tip-off the festivities at 6:30 p.m. with contests and giveaways. Suns Ring of Honor member Alvan Adams will also be on hand to visit with fans and sign autographs.

Well, wonder no more, because it has happened! If you are not familiar with The Second City, it is a renowned improv-based sketch comedy group primarily based in Chicago with locations in Toronto and Hollywood. The troupe has brought countless comedians to the spotlight, including Tina Fey, Jim Belushi and Stephen Colbert. But, what exactly are we in store for, you ask? Let's say a night full of hilarity regarding pressing issues such as snowbirds and Sheriff Joe Arpaio! [caption id="attachment_8053" align="aligncenter" width="540" caption="The Second City cast. Photo by Tim Fuller."][/caption] Matt Hovde, the artistic director of The Second City Training Center and director of "The Second City Does Arizona, or Close but No Saguaro," took some time to explain the process. Two writers from The Second City spent a week in Arizona with the Arizona Theatre Company, the folks that are graciously hosting the sketch comedy act. In their time here, they researched with locals and gathered information about our state's current events, political issues and local traditions. From there, they create and combine material with written satire to bring us a fine collection of songs, scenes and monologues that are sure to make the audience laugh. The best part about the show is that you will know exactly what they are implying and mocking. Different versions have been performed with great success for cities like Atlanta, and we hear one is in the works for Boston. I think it is time we sat down and took a comedic look at our fair city! Truly, what is better than being able to laugh at ourselves and where we live when times are tough? The Arizona Theatre Company is showing "The Second City Does Arizona, or Close but No Saguaro" from April 29 to May 16 at the Herberger Theater.

Considering the state of my hunger, I felt like I was back in college. Skipping breakfast is never a good idea. So, when the idea to hit up one of @LightRailBlog’s favorite spots was submitted, I happily approved. Tucked in the epicenter of ASU's Downtown campus resides humble Hsin Café. I will be honest, I could not pronounce the name (later I was informed it's pronounced "sheen," not "h-zin"), but I can say that it serves up some delectable beef fried rice. Honestly, I had no agenda when parading through the door. I seriously ordered the first thing that flickered favorably across their rotating flat-screen display. The picture showed a feast of epic beef proportions showered with rice, eggs and veggies. After ordering, I moved over into the deceptively expanding dining area. It is definitely a cool place that shows off its contemporary design and unique lamps descending from the ceiling. However, its most unique feature is what emanates from the small white speakers in the walls. In the course of my meal, I’m fairly certain I heard Japanese hip-hop, Menudo and an odd M.I.A. song. They are definitely creating a unique environment. I was trying to figure out exactly who they were pandering to with their musical selection, when I was generously interrupted by the arrival of my beef fried rice. [caption id="attachment_8057" align="alignright" width="323" caption="The interior is modern and airy, and eminates plenty of sick beats."][/caption] I’m fairly certain that you have had beef fried rice before (or at least been at a table where it has been served), so I don’t think I have to explain the flavors to you. The difference in this dish is that it is not as greasy as I was expecting from an establishment slinging chow to college kids. I was hoping for more beef in the dish, but I guess, as the Stones sing, “You can’t always get what you want.” My hunger did get the appropriate dismissal with the bountiful portion, so I can’t complain. So, if you find yourself hanging out around the Downtown campus and need a cheap and fulfilling meal, head over to Hsin Café. You and your wallet will be thankful for the results. Hsin Café is located on the ground level of Taylor Place at 120 E.

Cheuvront has a large and diverse cheese selection (plus about 8 kinds of mac and cheese). Therefore, I love Cheuvront. I didn't need Logic 325 for that analysis. Cheuvront is a cheese mecca here in Phoenix. It helps that they have a great wine list and a cool urban location and decor. I'm not sure the video screen is needed, but aside from that one potential interior flaw, the space is very cool, yet comfortable. Of course I spent most of my time focused on cheese and macaroni and cheese, so the decor wasn't my main focus... that's right, everything we had, except for the wine, involved cheese. (So I can't comment on the non-cheese aspects of the menu.) The cheese menu is nicely put together with useful descriptions for each offering. Really, the point of this review is to see how many times I can write "cheese." Cheuvront is located at 1326 N.

Woodland Ave. in the Woodland Historic District Just off the southern entry point of Grand Avenue is the humble Woodland Historic District, centered around the palm-lined Woodland Parkway on Van Buren Street. This historic district, often left unmentioned amongst its counterparts, is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Phoenix, and still radiates charm and architectural significance. On Woodland Avenue between 10th and 11th avenues sits one of Phoenix's oldest remaining single-family homes, the Eyrich-Kohl House. Simplistic in its design, it tells a story of Phoenix's early residents and their lifestyle. Built in 1885, the home is brick with stucco wall sheathing and a stone foundation. Vernacular cottage style, it is a fine example of an early brick masonry building. The truncated roof with asphalt shingles may not be unique in this neighborhood, but it displays the building style of the era. The exterior has been quite altered over the years (after all, the building turns 125 this year), including several new doors, reapplied stucco and work on the roof and foundation. But, who were Eyrich and Kohl, you ask? Eyrich, a German pioneer, came to Arizona in 1875, and lived in the house from its completion in 1885 until 1916. A man of many talents, he was a cavalryman, "Indian fighter," prospector, miner, hotel and café employee and proprietor. The 1912 city of Phoenix directory lists him at the address as a plumber. Kohl, a territorially famous cattle rancher, started Kohl's Ranch in Payson before coming to Phoenix. He lived in the home from 1917-1920, near the time when this portion of the neighborhood reached build-out.

[caption id="attachment_8078" align="alignright" width="386" caption="The Southwest Cotton Company building at 605 E. Grant St. Photo courtesy of LevineMachine.com."][/caption] The organizer and pioneer of the second annual event, Yuri Artibise, sees the Warehouse District, particularly the section east of Central Avenue just south of the stadium and arena, as an integral part of Downtown Phoenix's cultural heritage, yet few even know it exists. Oddly enough, many sports fans park here en route to the ballgame, quickly searching for a parking space and shuffling north to catch the Suns, D-backs or Mercury. The walk will begin at AmenZone, on Buchanan Street between 1st and 2nd streets. A great example of adaptive reuse, this "primal" workout facility meshes old warehouse bones with a bright, welcoming façade, something few to none of the buildings in the area have accomplished. From there, the walking tour will move in a clockwise fashion up near US Airways Center to the site of the Sun Mercantile Building and the Phoenix Seed and Feed Warehouse (the oldest remaining warehouse in the city), then south to the heart of the district on Grant Street. Grant Street is home to a cluster of buildings from 2nd to 7th streets in various states of update and repair. Most of the buildings on the tour were acquired in the mid-2000s by Michael Levine. Many projects in and around the Warehouse District failed to gain momentum, stalled due to lack of funding, never got past the proposal stage or withered with the economy. What buildings are left standing are a treasure to the city, and they should be treated as such. The goal of Jane's Walk is not only to spend a morning walking in an urban setting, but also to learn the history of the places around us, share stories and insights and present ideas for improvements. To RSVP for Jane's Walk, head to the Facebook event page. Full disclosure: Yuri Artibise is a frequent contributor to DPJ. DPJ is in no way sponsoring this event.

1. The Rose Garden crowd will be insane.

From the opening tip, the crowd will be loud. Portland fans will be pumped up, as they try and will their team to a victory to force a game seven in Phoenix. The key for the Suns is to get off to a quick start and take the fans out of the game early. As loud as the fans in Portland support their team, we know they can just as quickly turn on the Trailblazers. We saw it in game three when the Suns came out the gate firing on all cylinders. If the Suns can open the game with a good start, they can easily take the crowd out of it and in doing so rip the heart out of Rip City.

2. Steve Nash will push the tempo.

So far, the first five games of this best-of-seven series have shown us that the Suns can destroy the Trailblazers when they want to. To do so, Phoenix simply has to force the Blazers to play their style of basketball. When the Suns push the tempo, Portland just can’t keep up. Even with a healthy Brandon Roy, the Blazers won’t have the scoring to keep pace with the Suns, so how can Portland expect to do so with the clearly injured and about 25 steps slow version of Roy they are currently suiting up? They just can’t. Steve Nash is the engine that makes the Suns' high-octane offensive machine run. When Nash is able to get the ball out in the open court and get the Suns up and down, taking the first good look the Suns get early in the shot clock, Phoenix runs Portland out of the building. Expect to see this tonight. Nash knows how important this game is. To avoid having to play Portland in a winner-take-series game seven, Nash will be determined to make sure the Suns come out and force their will on the Blazers.

3. Amar’e will be huge.

Since the All-Star break, Amar’e Stoudemire has been on fire. Although his scoring numbers haven’t been quite as explosive in the playoffs as they were during the second half of the season, the amount of attention he receives from the defense has opened things up for Phoenix's shooters. Stoudemire will need to continue to be aggressive tonight to free up open looks for his teammates. Stoudemire’s offensive numbers don’t need to be overly impressive for him to have a huge impact. If he plays smart, he’ll be big tonight. If these three things happen tonight — the Portland crowd quickly quieting, Steve Nash forcing the tempo and Amar’e bringing maximum effort — the Suns will win and close out the series. We have seen it before. If the Suns play like we know they’re capable of playing, Portland can’t hang. However, if Phoenix lets Portland dictate the pace, then we’re in for a dog fight. Tonight I believe we’ll see the former rather than the latter. Fingers crossed. Note: If you're planning on watching the game at your favorite Downtown Phoenix spot, get there early! Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m.]]> 8085 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/04/29/d-backs-digest-arizona-venomous-run-rampage/ Fri, 30 Apr 2010 01:56:12 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8149

Mark Reynolds — Player of the Week of 4/18

The relief staff seems to be getting better and has had its moments of uncertainty where the pitching loses a solid lead, but this team is not like last year’s. The offense has been able to bounce back more often than not with additional runs throughout the game. Just a week ago, analysts were talking about the lack of runs scored in the later innings. This doesn't seem to be a topic of concern for the team, as the Diamondbacks have been pummeling opposing pitching throughout the games. In a challenging home stand against the Phillies, the D-backs were able to win two of the three games in the series and did the same against the Rockies. Winning match-ups against the defending National League Champion and the NL West Wild Card teams should definitely help boost some confidence. Additionally, the team beat the Cubs in the first of a five-game series in Chicago. The Cubs began the season playing good baseball and were among the favorites to lead the National League Central. The Chicago series will continue through the weekend. Kelly Johnson and Mark Reynolds are among the current league leaders in home runs and RBI. Chris Young and Adam LaRoche also accompany their teammates in the RBI leader category, as the team leads the league in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage. Reynolds, who had an outstanding week last week, was named the Player of the Week for the National League. Johnson already is hitting better than he did last season, boasting more homers and RBI than he did in all of 2009. There is no doubt that the team has some power as they hope to stay on top of their game. After the weekend, the D-backs will continue their road trip, heading to Houston to face the Astros for four games before returning to Phoenix. Winning games on the road is huge for any team, but winning games at home is just as important. Plan early to get out to Chase Field, as the D-backs will have a six-game home stand upon their return.

This place hasn’t actually been open in some time, because some crazy person decided to hit it with their car — not a drive-thru, dawg. Seriously. So, I have been in a befuddled and depressed state for some time. I am anxiously awaiting its reopening, sometimes driving by just for the heck of it. When I was informed that the Welcome was opening its doors for a special event hosted by MFTasty, I could not get dressed fast enough to get over there. Honestly, I didn’t even look at the menu... not that I could have seen it through the tears of joy filling my eyes. [caption id="attachment_8177" align="alignright" width="448" caption="Ah, heavenly."][/caption] My white and red, nine-seat palace shined like a beacon of hope for my aching heart. I strolled in and plopped down on my favorite light blue stool (who am I kidding, they are all my favorite) and nostalgia set in. I could still smell the hand-cut fries and the greasy amazingness that was the Welcome Diner burger. My daydream was interrupted by the MFTasty menu that slid under my nose. Moderately startled, my eyes raced down the page to see that my choice was not going to be easy. Duck sausage “hot dog” with white truffle aioli, cinnamon shrimp tacos, BLT with cured bacon and fried green tomatoes, grilled cheese with cheddar and muenster and, my selection, Mexican Coca-Cola BBQ pulled pork sandwich with avocado all graced the glorious, pig-logoed page. They did not make it easy on me. I could have eaten anything on that menu. I’m still wishing that lunch was longer. I kind of splurged and realized it when my pulled pork sandwich came. I ordered hand-cut sweet potato chips and caramel-apple coleslaw to go with my succulent sandwich. Diving in, I was instantly in BBQ heaven. I am seriously hoping that my afterlife involves being surrounded by mounds of this juicy, tender pork that has obviously been marinated in what all Southerners consider life blood, Coca-Cola. The avocado had a cooling effect on the sandwich and helped make it the perfect consistency. The sweet potato chips did not last long. I devoured them as if someone were about to take them from me. Also, my caramel-apple coleslaw was just as amazing as it sounds. My journey to the Welcome Diner was definitely a success. MFTasty opened the doors in a great fashion. Apparently, they are doing monthly events in different places, so I suggest that you hit up their website and “Join the Club” to find out about treating your taste buds right. As for you, Welcome Diner, I trust that you will return to me one sweet day. The Welcome Diner is located at 924 E.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 04.06.10 I have been here for a few months now, signed a 1-year lease. When looking for a place, I liked the contemporary feel of many of the loft options in the area, but I really wanted something less industrial, more warm and cozy. I feel I got that with my apartment. They have several apartment sizes from 600ish-sq.-ft. loft spaces to 1,100ish-sq.-ft. 2br/2ba units. It is a gated community and the gates are only open when the front office is open between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Most of the tenants I have seen are urban professionals, students, and some young families. I decided on one of the largest floor plans, dual master with 1 and 3/4 bath, approx 1,100 sq. ft. I am on the first level and really can't hear the neighbors much through the walls like other places I have been. I have a nice-sized patio with access through large patio doors from the dining area and one of the bedrooms, and a small storage area, plus a detached garage. The management is nice and I enjoy going in to pick up a movie or three, and occasionally they host social hours for the tenants. Initially hesitant with the proximity to ASU's downtown campus (didn't want a bunch of rowdy college students running around at all hours partying at the pool like I had at a previous apartment experience in the North Valley), I have found it to be quite peaceful during the week and it is super quiet on weekends. Sure, occasionally on First Fridays or when you have a lot going on downtown you can hear some party goers, but as far as I have seen and heard they are either at Alta across the street or walking outside the complex to get to their cars or a local club. I love the convenience to my office (six blocks). I can hit either the Van Buren and Central Light Rail Station or the Roosevelt Station pretty quickly, and there is a bus stop in front of the complex. The walk to US Airways, Science Center, Convention Center, Chase Field, Orpheum, Dodge Theater or Herberger Theater is quick, well lit and relatively safe. I haven't even started on the numerous bars, restaurants and clubs that are also too easy to walk to and stumble home from. I have to this point had a very good experience.

For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 1611 W. Fillmore St. in Oakland Historic District The Oakland Historic District is a wedge-shaped grid of neighborhood streets bisected by Grand Avenue's 45º posture, and many simply do not realize the great history tucked just west of the iconic highway. In the heart of the district, near 15th Avenue and Fillmore, is the Judge Tweed House. It was finished in 1881, making it one of the city's oldest remaining structures, and the oldest building From the Arizona Room has featured thus far. The house is unassuming enough, on a strictly residential part of Fillmore away from the bustle of Grand in a quiet old neighborhood. The home, one of the biggest in this historic district, has clearly been taken care of, as it does not look its 129 years. Second Empire style, it is two stories (a rarity in this neighborhood) with a wood frame and stone foundation. The home is surrounded by mature foliage and a vibrant green lawn, other atypical sites in these parts. Wood shingles line the hip roof, but this is one aspect of the home that needs some TLC. The gabled dormer on the roof line's second story remains a quaint touch from the past, and the garage, tucked around the corner, is still fully functional. Of course, there is the name, Judge Tweed. Tweed was the associate judge of Arizona at the time of building. He purchased a 160-acre homestead with his riches, and starting building the home in 1880. He sold it in 1882, but the name stuck. The home was later occupied from 1926-1935 by John Woodmansee, one of the subdividers of East Oakland, which eventually would become part of this very historic district.

The year was 1993. Charles Barkley was the new kid on the block that just moved into a brand new house, then known as America West Arena. The Suns were up 2-0 on the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Semifinals. Fast-forward to 2010, and the Suns are finally back in that position. After an impressive 110-102 win Wednesday night, the Suns have a commanding two-game lead over the heavily hated Spurs in their second-round playoff match-up. The Suns were able to jump out to the 2-0 series lead with one of the most impressive wins I’ve ever seen from the team. With most of the focus coming into Wednesday on the Suns’ decision to wear their “Los Suns” jersey partly in an effort to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and partly to protest Arizona’s new immigration law, Phoenix was able to overcome an off-shooting night and come away with the huge victory. Despite playing the game at a pace that favored the Spurs and shooting a lowly 42% from the field (including a measly 34% in the first half), the Suns still managed to put up 110 points, the fifth time in five games against San Antonio that Phoenix has scored at least 110, and basically beat the Spurs at their game. A lot of talk coming into this series was about how the Suns are too soft, not good enough defensively and too weak on the boards to seriously compete with the Spurs. Wednesday evening, the Suns made some doubters eat crow. The Suns came out and punched the Spurs in the mouth, absolutely dominating the glass. The final scoreboard shows Phoenix won the rebound battle 49-37, but honestly, it didn’t even feel that close. To offset their poor shooting night, the Suns out-hustled the Spurs to come away with 18 offensive rebounds. The Spurs had seven. Jared Dudley has to receive credit for sparking the Suns in this one. His energy early in the second quarter really turned things around and got the Suns going. On one possession he actually picked up two and-ones, and they were both a result of pure energy. After the game, Spurs coach Greg Popovich snapped at a reporter when asked if he felt the Suns had more energy. Pop claimed both teams came out with equal energy, but that clearly was not the case. The Suns' energy was a huge factor in this win. The Suns played like a desperate team down a game. On Friday, the series shifts to the Alamo City, with the Suns and Spurs both in unfamiliar territory. However unfamiliar, though, I think I could get used to this. On Twitter? Use the #ScorchTheSpurs hashtag when talking anything Suns!]]> 8188 0 0 0 2125 http://www.grtaylor2.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/05/06/dbacks-digest-tough-teams-diamondbacks-home/ Fri, 07 May 2010 05:11:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8201

The Arizona Diamondbacks return to Phoenix from a very long road trip as they prepare to face some more challenging teams. The first matchup of the weekend includes the power-hitting offense of the Milwaukee Brewers with Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. The two teams combined have hit a total of 71 homers to date as they prepare for what analysts look to be a home run derby. Short of a triple play and stealing home, there are not many things as exciting as seeing one hit out of the park. After winning the series in Colorado and struggling in Chicago, the Diamondbacks were able to come back to take three of four against a sub-par Houston team. Wins continue to be important as the team heads home to face the Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers expect to have Manny Ramirez ready for the series against the D-backs. Ramirez is currently playing in San Bernardino, CA, for the Class A Inland Empire 66ers in preparation of being placed back on to the roster. Some of the highlights of the week include Dan Haren’s 10th complete game of his career, and Kelly Johnson was named the player of the month for April. Johnson, who comes to Arizona from Atlanta, was expected to have a breakout year this year. In April, just the first month of the season, Johnson already boasts better stats than all of last year. Despite some troubling times with the bullpen and their current place in the standings, there has been plenty to be pleased with about the D-backs in 2010. Don’t forget that Friday night is fireworks night at Chase Field, and on Saturday the first 15,000 fans will receive baseball caps courtesy of Sports 620 KTAR. On Sunday, the first 5,000 moms will receive a D-signer tote bag for Mothers’ Day. Until next week, continue to show your love for your elite local teams and remember to show your D-backs some love.

His name is 26 Blocks. His friend is actually an art project that displays 26 Downtown Phoenix blocks from the perspectives of 52 local writers and photographers. It debuts Friday at After Hours Gallery. Although the project has helped bring the community together, Parks says he wasn’t trying to accomplish that, or anything else, really. “The project feels like a friend; someone I just met at a coffee house,” he says. “There’s this great person and I just want to introduce him to everybody.” Parks adds, however, that he hopes the project will get people to look at each block from a different perspective and change their attitudes, which, he says, is how people start to change their cities. Parks developed the abstract idea for 26 Blocks last October, but it really came together and launched in late November after his best friend passed away unexpectedly. “I just felt like there’s no time to be afraid,” he says. “All of those ideas that were disconnected were suddenly on fire.” He began pitching his idea to Phoenix-based writers and photographers, inviting them to be a part of his vision. He started with a few people he already knew and asked them for the names of other talented writers and photographers in the area until he had 26 of each. “The amazing part was that I’d pitch them and I’d do all this research, and every time they’d write back and they’d say, ‘This is awesome, sign me up.’” The photos, which are 24 inches by 36 inches, are suspended from the ceiling by steel cables with the 12-inch by 18-inch writings attached underneath. Twenty-six waist-level cinder block stacks are also part of the display, with each stack holding one of 26 wood cubes created by sculptor Rafael Navarro. Parks says the cinder blocks represent the concept of building blocks. He chose the number of city blocks for the project based on the 26 children’s building blocks, A through Z. The project also incorporates monthly contests from now until the end of the year. Contestants will choose one of the blocks to write or photograph. The 52 project contributors will select two winners every month, a writer and a photographer, who will each receive a prominent spot on the 26 Blocks website with a biography and a headshot. At the end of the year, the public will vote to determine the grand winner, who will join the end of the tour (at another gallery to be announced) and be featured in the 26 Blocks book. The project has inspired Parks to consider more projects in the future so he can have more friends like 26 Blocks. “This person is great. I want more friends like this and not exactly the same,” he says. “I want to surround myself with other projects that are equally stimulating and equally challenging for me.” Parks, who has never done an art show before, says he feels like he can do anything that is just as big as this project as long as he can find a way to set his ideas on fire and box up his fear. “All you need is an idea that’s really interesting that you can get people excited about, and all you need other than that is just evidence that you can pull off the different components." 26 Blocks debuts Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. After Hours Gallery is located at 116 W.

Like a mason jar filled with sweet tea on a hot summer day, this is the type of place that you pine after. The icing on the cake is that it is just down the street from me. So, regardless of who is mayor on Foursquare, I will be darkening their doorstep multiple times a day. Just wait and see. I caught wind of this place a few months ago and had to sneak by for a peak. The windows were boarded up, as they were not open yet, but I wanted to get it on my radar. There was a little crack in between the boards and I anxiously took a peak. I just wanted to envision what might happen in this little corner building. If nothing else, I was excited for the potential that this repurposed restaurant possessed. Truly, something great was about to happen to my tummy. Verde slung open its doors only a few weeks ago, so that I could finally stop imagining and start dining. First Street is now a blasting area for the spicy, saliva-inducing scents that the food at Verde creates. I could feel my stomach turn somersaults of joy at first whiff, while still just a block away. Upon entering, I notice the stylish interior crafted from repurposed materials. There is even a cool room facing the traffic of 1st Street, where the magic happens. And, by magic, I mean the fantasticalness that is the creation of the succulent, homemade tortillas. My appetite had had enough of my gazing around, so I stepped up to the counter to order. Looking over the menu overhead, I was genuinely surprised at the pricing — it was cheap! Food that smells this delicious surely costs a fortune. I ordered the Green Chile Pork and waited eagerly. Once it arrived, I ravenously devoured everything, almost taking a bite out of the plate itself. The flavors are bold, spicy and divine. The pork was super soft and delicious. I couldn’t have dreamt it up any better. The kicker is how amazingly tasty the tortillas are. No wonder they get their own room. These things are king of food holders. Seriously. I found myself wishing that the plate was accidentally crafted out of a tortilla (thus the incidental bite). It’s extremely exciting that out of the boarded-up darkness there emerged a place that is fast becoming one of my favorites. The best part is that they are just getting started.

I cannot even imagine going to the Y compared to Golds. Not only do the workers know your name, but they are also approachable and helpful. Unlike any other gym I've ever been to, they come up and ask you what you'd like to see them add. They are there to show you how to use the equiptment and they don't make you feel like an idiot when you don't pound 300-lb. weighs. Despite the stigma that comes with a Golds (bodybuilder types) this one is full of business types who are just trying to stay fit. Everyone who goes is friendly and no one is there to "show off," which is a nice change of pace from the LA Fitness over at Town & Country. The equipment is great. Everything is new and state of the art. The cardio equipment has individual TVs that even allow you to plug your iPod in to. You can actually watch your downloaded movies/shows on the large screen. They get cable and HD, so it's great when you want to run while watching Glee or the Real Madrid match. The locker rooms are the antithesis of every gym locker room you've ever experienced. Private showers, toiletries, laundry service, keypad lockers and an awesome sauna. I've spent about three hours here every day since they've opened. It's such a great place. Can't say enough about it. Golds Gym is located at CityScape at 1 E.

We could have predicted the series based on how the San Antonio Spurs played against the Suns. We could have said that since the Spurs had no answer for the Suns defensively, neither will the Lakers. We could have said since the Suns swept the Spurs in such dominating fashion, they’ll do the same to the Lakers. We could have said those things, but then we realized that the Lakers are a completely different team than the Spurs. Someone should let Bill Plaschke over at the Los Angeles Times know that the Suns are a completely different team than the Utah Jazz. Mr. Paschke claims the Suns have no chance at beating the Lakers. He came to this conclusion not based on what the Suns can do, but based on what he saw the Lakers do to the Jazz. Apparently, the Lakers closing the Jazz out at home has left the Suns afraid to play the Lakers. Plaschke must not have seen the Suns blow out the Jazz on their home court to end the regular season. That’s right, Bill, the Lakers aren’t the first team to win in Utah. Plaschke doesn't understand that the Suns are a far better offensive team than the Jazz. If the Jazz managed to put up 102 points per game on the mighty Lakers defense, imagine what the Suns will be able to do. The expected return of Robin Lopez means Lakers forward Pau Gasol is going to have to guard Amar’e Stoudemire the majority of the time. Everyone talks about how tall Gasol is, but nobody talks about how soft he is. If Gasol guards Amar’e one-on-on, Amar’e will rip him apart. If Lakers center Andrew Bynum comes to double on STAT, he will find Lopez. Plaschke doesn't take into account that the Suns are a healthy team. The Lakers just beat up on a Jazz team playing with half of Andre Kirilenko and no Mehmet Okur. LA should have taken care of Utah like Orlando dumped Atlanta, but they didn’t. Utah was in every game. Sure, the Lakers swept, but it wasn’t really that impressive. Plaschke seemed to forget that the Suns have a bench. Guys like Jared Dudley and Channing Frye come off the Suns bench. I’d say those guys are a whole heck of a lot better than Jazz starters Wes Matthews and C.J. Miles. Plaschke doesn't realize that length doesn’t equal talent. Yes, the Lakers are tall, but how good are their bigs? Sure, Gasol will show up offensively, but he’s a weak defender. Bynum is big but is highly inconsistent and will have an equally big body in Lopez to deal with. Lamar Odom shows up about half the time and makes dumb plays on a regular basis. The Lakers can have their tall bigs, I’ll take the Suns’ talented bigs. Tell Plaschke that two-time MVP Steve Nash may be playing the best basketball of his career and will have a field day with Derek Fisher guarding him. Heck, backup point guard Goran Dragic will have a field day if Fisher is guarding him. Outside of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' backcourt is really bad, and the Suns’ guards will expose them. Someone should let Bill Plaschke know the Suns will steal one of the first two in Los Angeles and close this series out in six.

Strangely, few parks in Downtown Phoenix are as sparsely visited as Verde Park, despite its easily accessible location. The park, which serves as a bookend for the southwest side of Garfield Historic District, has been there for nearly a century, with its pump house standing unassumingly since 1938. Small in stature, it is easy to overlook this Period Revival-style structure, located on the site of the oldest city waterworks plant. Not surprisingly, most people come here for picnics or to play basketball, not to ogle over the pump house. But, for a building with such a mundane purpose, it radiates some charm. Brick with a concrete foundation, it features parapet eaves and built-up roof sheathing. The pump house was originally planned as an emergency standby pumping plant for the city's domestic water supply. Bigger and better facilities have since been built, but it remains one of Garfield's waning Period Revival examples. Today, it sits quietly on the the western edge of the park on 9th Street, just beside the parking lot, steps away from park-goers grilling hot dogs and burgers.

Phoenix is full of talented, bright, passionate and creative people; those who disagree are looking in the wrong places. Right now the place to see some of the best of what Phoenix has to offer is on display at 26 Blocks, an exhibit at After Hours Gallery. I love the idea behind this exhibit: 26 Phoenix photographers and 26 Phoenix writers were paired up and sent to 26 random city blocks in Downtown Phoenix and asked to photograph and write specifically about that block. Some had much more to work with, like old houses or buildings, while some of the artists had nothing more than dirt and weeds. The creativity that came out of this assignment and the resulting photographs and stories is truly amazing. The main theme I saw throughout can be summed up in one word: potential. More so than any other city, Phoenix is still a place where a person has the potential to be and do anything — a city that still has the potential to define its own destiny. When my friends from other cities antagonize Phoenix, I take it personally. Their condescending attitudes frustrate me because they don't see "my" Phoenix, and they don't see the potential and possibilities. 26 Blocks helps deconstruct those false assumptions and will inspire Phoenicians who may not be able to see the beauty that exists here, even in vacant dirt lots. One writer interviewed a parking meter, and I liked the photo that went with it. I was moved to tears (really) by a story written from the perspective of one of the city blocks itself, telling us about its life and history the way a grandparent might tell a story to a grandchild. I felt proud to be a Phoenician. I left the gallery with new perspectives and feeling recharged and inspired, more dedicated to making Phoenix the best city it can be. That's the power of creative thinking and good art, and Phoenix offers some of the best. 26 Blocks will be on display through the rest of the year at various Valley locations.

On a positive note, the team has played better in the field than last season. The D-backs, who had 80 errors before the All-Star break last year, only have 24 errors in 34 games. What this shows is that the fielding is lending a helping hand to the pitching staff. Of course, producing at the plate can also help win games. The team also made a move to call up Carlos Rosa from Triple-A in an effort to help out the bullpen. While the sweep at home does not rest easy with most fans, the team continues to place importance on making some progress before the All-Star break. Several of the players that were hot in April have cooled off considerably as the weather heats up in Arizona. The D-backs being this week's road trip in Atlanta. The Braves are in last place in the National League East, which should make for an excellent opportunity for the D-backs to regain a head of steam. The following series will be against another struggling team, the Florida Marlins, who have dropped six of their last 10 games. The Marlins are not to be taken lightly. Although they will only be playing Florida for two games, the team is graced with some excellent pitching talent. When the D-backs return home on Wednesday after a long flight from Florida, they will face the San Francisco Giants, who have been performing exceedingly well despite preseason speculation. The Giants are currently in the battle for first place in the National League West, on the heels of the San Diego Padres.

Located in the growing shadow of CityScape, Cartel is a name that rings in the ears of many an ASU student. The shop's success in Tempe is hard to miss, with its extended hours and large clientele. This prompted an expansion to Downtown Phoenix. Thus, the moderately unmarked slice of heaven was unveiled in the hopes that the Downtown ASU students would resume the frenzy that the Tempe location already is entrenched in. So, in my best impersonation of a downtowner, I rode my bike down 1st Street and felt ready to partake in one of the last hot coffee drinks that I will have for months. Upon entering during what most people call post-lunch time, I was greeted with few signs of life, but remnants of a wild breakfast crowd. I ordered, and waited patiently for the ensuing party for my mouth to arrive. I made the first faux pas of attempting to order my drink to go. The barista kindly smirked and just pointed to the mug that would in fact be holding my drink. OK, I thought, this must be rule number 1. Once my drink was topped off with the finest organic barista milk, I crawled into my seat and began to revel in espresso crema and happy thoughts. The foamy, rich drink was soothing to my belly. Being that Cartel is known for attempting to have the best coffee beans around, it was safe to say this was a pretty stellar drink. As I was enjoying the beginning phases of a cappuccino-induced stupor, I was informed of another speakeasy rule: Cartel doesn't believe in many flavors besides coffee and milk. Sure, they have the standard vanilla syrup and a bittersweet mocha, but not much else. Don't go in askin' for caramel syrup in your latte. I didn’t realize that stopping for a drink came with rules and limitations. Well, my Cartel experience was eye-opening and quite therapeutic for my tummy. I suggest you embark on a journey for a great cappuccino at Cartel. Just make sure you abide by the unspoken rules and at least wear a shirt.

Tons of fresh salads, sandwiches and mains. I was feeling too lazy to cook, so I picked up the garlic mashed potatoes (FANTASTIC for garlic lovers), the grilled veggies (delicious). I also got the turkey meatloaf that while a little dry, had a wonderful flavor and consistency. Next time I may have to pick up some sauce for the top. Same can be said for the pork, it was a bit dry, but I had some mango chutney I threw on top and it was great.

Alvarado Rd. in Alvarado Many loyal DPJ readers remember Yuri Artibise's insightful story on GeOasis' geothermal cooling system in the historic Carter W. Gibbes Home. For this week's blog, I decided to provide a bit of the history of the home, which remains one of the Alvarado Historic District's most praised buildings. The Alvarado neighborhood is but a blip in the scope of Central Phoenix — hardly even two city blocks — but its tree-lined streets, sprawling lawns and urban mansions provide a sense of privacy just steps from the bustle of the Heard Museum and Central Avenue. For 80 years, the Carter W. Gibbes Home has been nestled in this district, at the elbow of Alvarado Road where it veers from north to east. A shining example of traditional Tudor Revival style with a hint of French chateau influence, the home is classic early-century brick with stone wall sheathing. Gothic Bay window stylings and meticulous landscaping make it all the more eye pleasing. Architect and builder Neil H. Gates broke ground on the home in 1930, and envisioned the hip, high-pitched roof synonymous with the Tudor Revival style. The slate sheathing and exposed rafters were also common features of roofs of this design. While Gates always referred to the home as "Tudor Elizabethan" in style, the Willo-Alvarado Survey names it "the best example of high-style Tudor Revival eclectic architecture in Phoenix." Not bad at all. Gibbes, a renowned interior decorator who wintered in the home, styled it ornately (many of his touches still remaining today), but it wasn't until the GeOasis cooling system was recently installed by the current owner that the home became tolerable year-round.

For starters, it means we’ll be hearing a lot of talk from obnoxious Lakers fans over the next few days. And yes, it’s OK to call them obnoxious. They know they are. In fact, I’m pretty sure they pride themselves on it. More important than putting up with LA fans, the Suns' performance in the first two games leaves Planet Orange with an uphill battle on their hands — not an impossible battle by any means, but definitely a tough one. I was wrong about the start of this series. I thought the Suns would come out with more intensity and steal a game in LA, but they didn’t. They did have their chance, though. That is why I believe there are positives to be taken from these two losses, such as the play of Robin Lopez, and I still fully expect Phoenix to win this series. In game two, the Suns beat themselves more than Los Angeles did. To start the second half, the Suns came out great and played their basketball and dominated the quarter. They stopped with all the constant doubling and forced the Lakers to hit shots with a hand in the face. When the Suns do this, they can be very effective against the Lakers. The key to beating LA is forcing Kobe to do everything himself. To do that, Phoenix needs to defend him straight up, one-on-one. If he hits a tough shot with Dudley or Grant Hill defending him, so be it. Giving up two to Bryant is much better than giving up three to Ron Artest, Derek Fisher or Shannon Brown. The thing about Artest, Fisher, Brown and the other Lakers players capable of hitting the NBA super shot is that they only do so when wide open. Put a hand in their face or force them to put the ball on the court and more often than not they’re going to miss. Outside of not allowing open threes, the Suns need to get better play out of Amar’e and Frye. Both players are looking for new contracts this summer and this is the time for them to go out there and earn them. If Amar'e and Frye come out and play with passion and heart, the pieces will fall into place for the Suns.

The Arizona-based group travels the nation conducting investigations aimed at scientifically explaining the weird and the not easily knowable. They never charge for investigations. "The group was started because of Andy's [Rice, WCGAPS founder and lead investigator] interest in the paranormal, but he couldn't find anyone using science to explain the unknown. Most of the groups were using psychics," said Shaun Jacobs, Chief Operations Officer. "I joined because I had some experiences as a child that never made sense to me." This Saturday, May 22, WCGAPS will be hosting a ghost hunt at the Orpheum Theatre. One event will be held for kids at 2 p.m., with the adult event (ages 16+) at 8 p.m. Prizes are still available for ticket purchasers through their Event Contest page.

Long praised as one of Downtown Phoenix's most unique and affordable boutique shops, the new space will expand upon the original location's humble roots on 3rd and Garfield streets. The former location closed in April in anticipation of the move.

Bunky shares a short of intertwined space with Giant Coffee, which also officially opens, albeit after months of delays. The space overlooks Cancer Survivors Park, which serves as an unofficial gateway to Burton Barr Central Library.

Bunky Boutique is located at 1437 N. 1st. St in Evans Churchill (light rail station at Central/McDowell) — 602.252.1323

The reality is sad, but hardly shocking: sewage issues, increasing repairs, facility decline and some hefty storms in recent years have left the park a shadow of its former self. The article nearly decries Forbes' recent claim that Encanto is one of America's top dozen or so "urban parks," and a visit will all but confirm it. Unfortunately, upkeep has dwindled and problems have piled up. The city's decreased budget simply doesn't have room to fix most of the problems. None of this, by the way, has affected the crowds — it is still one of the city's busiest weekend spots. I'm not hating on Encanto. In fact, I prefer it to any other Central Phoenix park. I play basketball there weekly. I regularly bike through its (admittedly dwindling) shady pathways. I love the neighborhood. But, there is no denying the park and others near our Downtown are in tough times. What parks do you frequent? Hance, Steele Indian, University, Verde, Civic Space, Central, Grant, Coronado, Monterey? All of these parks need help in some way or another. If you'd like, pitch in your suggestions for fixes, or simply let us know which park is your favorite. We all need a place to enjoy the outdoors.

I just thought you should know that before I tell you of my adventures this week. For some reason, I was craving some good, quick Mediterranean cuisine. To my great fortune, Athenian Express fit my craving to a T. As you pass by the shell that used to hold Circles Music & Tapes, there is a kind of eerie feeling. Maybe it is the hipster in me weeping. Who knows. But, this sadness is quickly wiped away by the inviting entrance to Athenian Express. At first glance, it appears that a garden (or a jungle) was born right in the middle of the sidewalk. Combine that with the lovely smells escaping out into the day, and you have quite an experience on your hands. Or, your senses are inundated enough that at least your hipster-self can relax. I parked my bike in the foliage on the sidewalk and traipsed in the front door. This place has a big feel to it. The blue and white walls reach high up to the ceiling, giving you the sense of a giant room. As I stepped to the counter, I felt like I was at a place where they would attempt to know you and take care of you. What caught my eye on the menu was the Gyro Feta. It seemed simple enough — an authentic Greek dish. It was sheer moments after I sat down that my plentiful dish (basket) was brought out. This gyro was huge and the side dish was heeped on. So, I opted to rest my laurels in the garden out front and enjoy one of the few remaining nice days in Phoenix. This gyro made it even more enjoyable. Slices of lamb, onion, tomato and a pile of feta cheese served open face on a pita — totally the way to go. I ate to my heart's content. Every bite was better than the last. The scenery also helped the experience. Being perched in the shrubbery, I felt like I was hiding from all the passersby on Central. Athenian Express is definitely a good lunch spot. It was a good price and the portions were healthy. Now, when I head to Greece, my taste buds will be ready. Athenian Express is located at 814 N.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 01.07.10 Thanks to Yelp and the wonderful reviews I read, I booked Camelback Moving for my first move in seven years. Lisa was wonderful over the phone, answered all my questions, and gave me all the information I needed when I called to make the reservation about a month in advance. As luck would have it, I hit a major speedbump just 12 hours from my scheduled move and called the company in tears late one evening to find out what I could do given my current situation. I believe I spoke with Chad, who listened patiently and did a great job of assuring me they would work with me to get everything taken care of. When I resolved everything the next day and called back to confirm a new date, Lisa recognized my voice right away and was really great. The day of the move, I got a call from one of the guys asking if they could start early, as their other job finished ahead of scheduled. We agreed on a time, and true to their word, they arrived when they said they would. When they arrived, one of the guys went over some paperwork with me and asked him to walk them through my place showing them what would be going. After that, they got started. I was absolutely impressed by the speed at which they moved everything out, especially considering they took time to wrap all non-boxed objects with huge rolls of Saran Wrap-like plastic — including my sofas and ottomans! They finished moving everything downstairs and to their truck in under two hours. Had they been able to park closer and not have to deal with the stairs, I'm sure they would have finished sooner. Once at the new place, they got started unloading. If a box wasn't clearly labeled, they asked where it should go. They re-assembled my bed and put the furniture where I asked. Not a single box was misplaced. Nothing was broken. Everything was in the same condition it was in before it left my former residence. Once everything was done, I was given another form to sign along with a comment card. Before they left, the guys even asked if I needed help shifting things around or if I wanted things moved anywhere. Truly great customer service! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at Camelback Moving for making this a completely stress-free moving experience. I have already and will continue to enthusiastically recommend this company to friends and associates for their moving needs.

In 1928, a Period Revival home was built on a relatively off-the-path plot near 3rd Street and McDowell Road. The Carl Pleasant/John Barney House stands 82 years later, still relatively tucked away, but just steps from the bustle of the Phoenix Art Museum and the traffic on McDowell. Brick with a concrete foundation and stucco wall sheathing, the building was occupied for several decades as a residence before transitioning to office use (it is now the Administrative Service Center for the Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine Council). Surprisingly, the building hasn't changed all that much. The original entry remains, and asphalt shingles much like the original selection still line the roof. Understandably, the interior has been reconfigured to accommodate the office space. Though it stands out amongst its peers on this neighborhood street today, the design and layout are consistent with 1920s subdivision development. The home was originally occupied by Pleasant from 1929 to 1932. Pleasant gained fame during the era as the namesake of the Carl Pleasant Dam, a 250-foot multiple-arch concrete dam he designed and built in 1927. The dam has since been replaced, and is now more than 100 feet underwater in his current-era namesake, Lake Pleasant, near Peoria. In the 1930s, Barney, who was listed in the city directory under several professions, moved in. Source: Willo-Alvarado Multiple Property Area Historic Resources Survey, 1989.

LA fans ran their mouths, and kept talking about how their Lakers were about to sweep the Suns. Heck, I even received comments here at the Suns Spot from Lakers fans claiming I owed Bill Plaschke an apology for a piece I wrote two weeks ago. [caption id="attachment_8403" align="alignright" width="431" caption="The Suns' bench was special in Game 4. Getty Images."][/caption] Then Sunday came, and the Suns won game three. Did the Lakers’ fans finally start giving us respect? Nope. LA fans, along with Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, complained about the free throw discrepancy. They cried that the zone defense that Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry implemented in the second quarter of Sunday’s game was a bailout. They said it was a way of admitting the Suns can’t defend the Lakers man to man. They labeled it as “girlie.” The media didn’t change their tune, either. Plaschke wrote another piece for the LA Times belittling the Suns once again. He went on to say the Lakers should rest starting center Andrew Bynum. Hold him out of game four. Rest him now and Bynum would have at least a week off before the Finals matchup with the Celtics. ESPN basketball “expert” Ric Bucher decided to jump in on the action with this tweet he sent out Sunday night: “Give Suns credit for stepping up, but let's put this into perspective. LAL had 3 guys MIA: Bynum, Odom + Artest. Too many vs. Phx at home.” I responded to Bucher saying he should give the Suns' D some credit, especially for what they did to Ron Artest. I argued they put a hand in Artest’s face and made him put the ball on the floor plenty of times. Apparently, Mr. Bucher didn’t like that, because he responded by sending me the following direct message on Twitter: “Artest/LO were a combined 2 for 11 and I didn't see one of those 3s contested. but whatever.” “But whatever?” Really, Ric? Sensitive there much? I was just pointing out what I saw in the game, no need to get upset if you feel you saw differently. On to Tuesday and game four. The Lakers saw much of the same from the Suns defense. Gentry threw a heavy dose of zone at the Lakers once again and the result was much the same. The Lakers heaved brick after brick up at the rim from beyond the arc. Only difference this time around was where the points came from on the Phoenix side. Instead of Amar’e Stoudemire picking apart the Lakers it was the super subs of Phoenix scorching the entire Lakers squad. Did this finally earn the respect from the Lakers fans and media? Not really, but it did shut them up. Instead of writing a piece bashing the Suns once again and declaring them dead, Plaschke wrote about how the Lakers’ bench is only hurting the team rather than provided any type of relief for the starters. He still failed to really give the Suns the credit they’ve rightfully earned, but at least he didn’t rip them apart. As far as Bucher goes, he has yet to say anything. No more tweets about how LA just played bad. No more tweets putting the Phoenix victories into “perspective.” His silence speaks volumes. From the Suns’ viewpoint though, none of this matters. They don’t need validation from the media. They’ve earned the respect of each other and the support of the Phoenix fans. By winning two games in this series, they’ve already proved all the doubters wrong. When game five tips off tonight, the Suns will look to continue piling up that proof.]]> 8400 0 0 0 2379 http://lakers.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/05/28/crazy-curve-creative-melrose-community-garden-project/ Fri, 28 May 2010 17:37:12 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8409

The Seventh Avenue Merchants Association needs your help to make a community garden possible in the Melrose District. The association has applied for a $250,000 grant from Pepsi Refresh. The grant money, with additional help from Clear Channel Communications, will create a community garden on what is described as a weed-infested lot at the corner of 7th and Montecito avenues — the heart of the "m7 Curve." The design for the garden has already been achieved by combining community input and student talent from the ASU School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

So far, the garden is doing well in voting, but not well enough. Out of 1,341 ideas on the Pepsi site, the garden has been hovering around the rank of 140. It has to be either #1 or #2 to win the $250,000. The competition is tight, and only a few votes separate the garden from the top two places. The key to success lies with you and others who can vote on the Pepsi grant website. You can take action now and use the following link to vote for the Melrose Community Garden. Remember, you can vote once per day between now and May 31. In addition, pass the word on to your friends and family, wherever they may live. If they have a computer with Internet access, they can vote!

The team also leads the league in doubles and RBI. As for the long ball, the D-backs are tied with the Reds with the most homers in the National League. For those of us that remember the team from a year ago, it seemed that nothing was clicking for the D-backs as they were struggling on the mound and at the plate. The key for the team will be to be able to put it all together and shore up their pitching before the All-Star break and continue producing runs. Up ahead for the Diamondbacks are the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams are long-time rivals, and wins against these teams could potentially help ramp up some team momentum. The first series against the Giants will be a three-game weekend series that promises to be a decent matchup. The D-backs successfully swept the short series against the Giants a week prior and will have that going for them when they arrive in San Francisco. The Giants have also been struggling as of late after starting out at the top of the National League West standings. The following series will be against the Dodgers, as Los Angeles has won six of their last 10 games to close within two games on the National League-leading Padres. The Dodgers play very well at home, as do the Giants, and they are looking forward to the return of Andre Ethier as he gets some rehab time in the minor leagues this weekend.

If you have been around the Phoenix Convention Center this week, you've probably noticed a wookie or two walking around. Maybe you saw Wolverine or Spawn. I did.

Unfortunately, “incredible” doesn’t even begin to describe the treasures that The Duce holds. A former speakeasy, The Duce is now a conglomerate of amazing things under one roof. A gym, a bar, a restaurant, a soda fountain, a coffee bar, a clothing store, a produce stand and more are all the ways that this place is everything to everyone. My recent trek down to Lincoln and Central was so worth it. I went down to watch the Suns rock some playoff basketball on The Duce’s sweet open-air patio. They had some deals running for homemade screwdrivers and various other orange-colored beverages. The spirits were high and delicious. I was here for more than a drink, though. I had my sights set on their noteworthy sliders. Their menu is not exactly huge, but everything on there is ridiculously appealing. The shiny trailer out in the patio doubles as the kitchen, so I stepped up to order my sliders and submit a nickname to help them track me down. This was going to be awesome. I learned long ago that any time food is served out of a nice trailer, it is generally amazing. The loudspeaker squeaked out my nickname and beckoned me to see what wonders awaited my palate. The smells were hauntingly intoxicating. I was sold on their succulence before I even saw them. The three sliders looked so amazing and homemade that I barely had time to take a picture before I was diving in headfirst. Succulent, tender bites of brisket melted in my mouth. The spices and sauce they used were finger-lickin’ good. These sliders are for real. They were so good that I barely watched the game I was there to see. Fortunately, I wasn’t sharing because there was nothing left for anyone else. I even contemplated licking the basket that they were served in. The Duce is truly a place that you must see for yourself. You must try something, if not everything, that they offer. I plan on attempting to take up residence there as soon as possible.

Legendary... of course. We all know and love Matt's Big Breakfast, Phoenix's oft-written TV star of a griddle shack. But, not much is widely known about the tiny building's history. Built as an extension to the equally quaint Coronado Hotel next door, the Matt's building is only 55 years old, but it has seen quite a lot in that time. It was used as storage; it has gone through many a façade change; it has seen some hard times on this Evans Churchill corner. Built in 1955, it is a Modern-style commercial structure. The flat roof and concrete foundation remain unaltered, but the original stucco veneer was blasted away prior to the opening of Matt's to expose the original brick wall. Before that, there were so many paint jobs and colors it must have measured a half-inch thick. In the 1980s, El Gallo, a Mexican restaurant resided in the space, promising nothing but "the real thing." It was known for tender chicken, but does it compare to Matt's Chop & Chick?

To raise awareness about the importance of recycling refrigerators and other household appliances, After Hours Gallery and SRP have teamed up to create the Fridge-A-Thon art exhibit, opening at tonight's First Friday. The month-long show in the eco-conscious building will display more than 15 refrigerators that have been transformed into artwork by local artists Zarco, Mary Rabago, Kyle Jorde, Sean McLaughlin, El Moises, Linda Suffidy and others. Eco-experts will be on hand at the gallery to talk about the positive impacts of recycling appliances. These benefits include keeping reusable items out of landfills and preventing up to 10 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. SRP customers who turn in gently used, functioning refrigerators receive $30 and free pick-up. About 95% of each refrigerator is recyclable, preventing the release of toxic chemicals into the environment.

Chandler, AZ Five-star rating 04.25.10 Some of the criticisms of AABC are likely generational. I began collecting comics before comics became an indie and underground edgy kind of hobby in which kids wear superhero shirts, listen to post-modern punk and play card games. I started collecting in 1985, and being 34 years old, that makes me ancient in terms of modern comic book collectors. AABC is right up my alley. The store is only about comic books. They have the best back issue supply in the city. They purchase enough copies so that they rarely run out of an issue. The comics are kept well and all the ones on the shelves are in NM condition. They keep comics on the shelves longer than most stores so you can arrive weeks after an issue debuted and it will still be there. The staff cater to collectors like me. They are informative and helpful but don't act too smart to be condescending nor do they try to hard sell you issues like at other stores. Some have implied they are rude or not friendly, and that isn't the case. Like I said, it's generational. At places like Atomic, the sales people are very conversational and will engage you and just chat because that's what they do there. It's a younger vibe there and it's part of their culture. At AABC, the sales staff leave you alone but not because they are being rude — they just want you to shop in peace without being harrassed. Again, if you are one of these types who shop at Atomic and then go into AABC, it will feel very different, but that doesn't mean one is better than the other. It's just two different approaches to comics. So, it depends on what you are seeking. All About Books & Comics is located at 5060 N.

Los Angeles is sometimes viewed as the bigger brother to its copycat younger sibling, Phoenix — indeed, it’s a bit older, a bit bigger and much more influential — but when it comes down to it, our city cores share many of the same traits, for good and for bad. [caption id="attachment_8523" align="aligncenter" width="576" caption="Different yet similar: Downtown LA should be used as a cultural blueprint for Downtown Phoenix. "][/caption]

For cities of our respective sizes, we have relatively small skylines despite having large, semi-walkable downtown areas. We find LA’s downtown districts more distinct than Phoenix’s — for example, the trek from Pueblo to Little Tokyo offers a stark change, whereas walking from Roosevelt to Evans Churchill in Phoenix offers little more than a change in foliage and city zoning standards.

We have spent some time in downtown LA, mostly as side trips to other Southern California adventures, but we keep going out of our way to stop and see how it continues to evolve. LA’s adaptive reuse ordinance is of particular interest, as Phoenix struggles to really figure out how to properly encourage reuse of its many historic buildings around the downtown area. LA’s downtown is a beacon of hope, with some 15,000 residential units created under this ordinance. What does that spell? Life in the neighborhoods that were in decline for decades. Phoenix could learn from that. Large loft buildings have been constructed anew here, and the level of success, amount of expense and measure of improvement (or perhaps decline, depending on who you ask) to the neighborhoods has been discouraging. The reuse of LA’s architecturally interesting skeletons is something that Phoenix should desire to imitate. We look to LA’s Arts District, the warehouse district, lying just west of the LA River. It’s sadly in similar shape to our own — industrial, once fueled by rail, now in a sort of a paradoxical existence as a semi-arts hub and semi-run-down neighborhood. The similarities are astounding, bridging the 370-mile gap between the two neighborhoods. Then we see the confluence of arts venues in the core, much like Phoenix. There is still much work to be done here, but LA seems to be getting it right. The magnificent Disney Concert Hall packs so much modernity into its block just from a sidewalk view, but the fantastic acoustics, impressive (albeit extremely short) history and near-instant change to this block of Grand Avenue cannot be understated. Phoenix’s Herberger Theatre, currently under renovation, should take some notes. And we can’t help but think of downtown LA’s cultural mix. Sure, Phoenix is somewhat of a melting pot, but our neighborhoods haven’t been broken into ethnic districts for quite a long time. We love Ramen Row in Little Tokyo for a salty fix, but then there’s Philippe the Original and that 100-year perfection on the French dip sandwich. It’s that kind of diversity that just makes you smile and say, I love LA. So thank you, LA, for offering some insight and inspiration to us Phoenicians. We hope you’ll stop by and say hi sometime to marvel at our ever-changing city center, just as we’ll continue to do in your neck of the woods.

Upon entering, I was instantly transported beyond my own youth to stories that my parents told me of growing up. Patsy Cline softly sings, "How crazy I am for feeling lonely?" and a veritable '50s landmark bar stretches out before my eyes. I suddenly feel like I should have a slingshot in my back pocket and roll my jeans up to show off my PF Flyers. To my luck, these are apparently not requirements for MacAlpine’s since the waitress slid the menu under my wide-eyed gaze. Nostalgia kicked in. I was hankerin’ for a fresh, creamy chocolate shake. I honestly started to salivate at the simple thought of a hot dog and a shake. This lovely place even boasts about their shakes being made with scoops of old fashioned Thrifty Ice Cream and blended with an authentic 1940s Hamilton-Beach blender. Sounds like a time portal of a drink to me. In honor of Marty McFly, I nearly asked if the waitress would slide it down the counter to me, but I chickened out. Even though it was placed in front of me, it was a close as you can get to chocolate perfection. Every sip was creamy and history-evoking. I could picture summers on the tire swing and the little soda shop in my hometown with the locals laughing and the equally well-prepared shakes. Topped carefully with chocolate sprinkles and a maraschino cherry, this shake was off the hook. What is even better is that the glass that they fill with your shake can’t hold all of it, so you are blessed with a frosty glass of amazingness and a cousin steel cup of chocolate shake bliss. It is the ultimate twofer. If you haven’t ventured to MacAlpine’s, then this is the summer for it. It's guaranteed to not only be a trip for some good grub and amazing shakes, but it will also be a sweet journey into the past. Driving 88 mph is not required or recommended either.

Roosevelt Row, a nonprofit organization, has been spearheading the movement to further the distinct character and assets of its Evans Churchill neighborhood and to nurture a diverse, walkable urban environment. This includes a uniquely Phoenix breed of boutiques in the area. Many of the boutiques that make up Roosevelt Row have become a hub for people who wish to stay chic and trendy while not emptying their wallets. Butter Toast, MADE and Conspire are three boutiques that are in the thick of it, all the while remaining completely different and distinct from one another. Butter Toast has a very unique twist to what could be construed as another vintage shop. Part-owner Traci Nelson says that to ensure the “usability and modernization” of the boutique's vintage clothes, she implores the talents of a seamstress. While they do not advertise alterations as a service provided, they do alter clothes brought into their store in need of a slight pick-me-up. Now in its third home on 6th Street, Butter Toast seems to be flourishing with it unique take on vintage clothes. [caption id="attachment_8619" align="alignright" width="203" caption="Conspire"][/caption] Nelson says they pick each item personally for the store and ask the question, "Is this modern and wearable?" As ironic as it may seem to look at a piece of vintage wear and ask if it's modern, that’s exactly what sets Butter Toast apart from other vintage stores. Along with the eclectic clothing variety offered at Butter Toast, they have recently introduced Merry May, a DIY company offering its merchandise in a smaller room located within the store. Owned and operated by Ashley Eaton, it offers a variety of crafty options. Conspire, notoriously breathing life into the corner of 5th and Garfield streets, not only supports local Phoenix artists, but also gives them a very unique platform to showcase their art. The space is collectively owned and operated by about 10 local artists, and offers boutique space featuring an espresso bar, an "anarchist library" and neighborhood hangout. The establishment is undoubtedly unique in not only the merchandise available, but also the concept itself. [caption id="attachment_8620" align="alignleft" width="203" caption="MADE"][/caption] Star DeLuna is one of the featured artists selling homemade gems like jewelry and magnets. "The foot traffic through here has been awesome, especially on First Fridays," DeLuna says. Similar to both Butter Toast and Conspire, MADE is very aware of the foot traffic it receives due to its location. MADE, which opened five years ago, offers a wide variety of options. Always thinking locally, the boutique features everything from custom baby clothes to what some might consider controversial art. Owner Cindy Dach that they couldn’t have found a better location. “I love where we are," she says. "First Friday alone brings in so many people who might not have stopped in before.” Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind purse, a vintage sundress or you just want to satisfy your local art craving, Roosevelt Row is a must see. Butter Toast (602.258.3458) is located at 908 N. 6th St., Conspire is located at 901 N. 5th St. (602.237.5446) and MADE (602.256.MADE) is located at 922 N. 5th St., all in Evans Churchill (light rail station at Central/Roosevelt).]]> 8595 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/06/09/arizona-room-verde/ Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:17:39 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8607 is a weekly column examining the historic, reuse and infill structures in Downtown Phoenix.

Much like last week's building, Matt's Big Breakfast, it's certainly not designated historic — it was built in 1970 — but the revamping of this space time and time again deserves some praise. [caption id="attachment_8610" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The graffiti near the parking lot was commissioned to local and national artists."][/caption] Forty years is a decent amount of time in the life of a building, but 825 N. 1st St. (the street number of the building, by the way, has been redesignated at least twice since being built, logging the numbers 821 and 823 previously) has seen businesses come and go. The Modern-style building has always been zoned for commercial use, and the bones of the structure remain relatively the same as Day 1: a flat roof (though what is on the roof has changed: an inordinate amount of HVAC equipment was added prior to the opening of Verde to satisfy the city's code), a solid concrete foundation and a wood frame with a stucco veneer. The exposed brick that was sandblasted on the south side of the interior and north side of the exterior of Verde space is original, though it was hidden behind layers and layers of paint, drywall and stucco for decades. The building itself has seen many different uses: multiple kinds of storage facilities, a seedy strip club and, most recently, OnePlace, a progressive church/performance space that closed in July 2008.

Check back here periodically this summer for updates on free agency visits and summer workouts. Only four-and-a-half months until the 2010-11 season begins! [caption id="attachment_8644" align="alignright" width="340" caption="Getty Images"][/caption] The first year of the Suns Spot saw the Phoenix Suns shock the world by advancing to the Western Conference Finals, but now with the summer months and offseason upon us, things will get quiet here for a while. Before Suns Spot takes some time off to enjoy the summer (and before the NBA draft and free agency ramp up) I wanted to share our thoughts on this past year. First, I want to say how proud I am of this past season’s Suns team. They easily exceeded everyone’s expectations, and in doing so became my favorite Suns team of all time. This season, the Suns went from being pegged to miss the playoffs by most of the “experts” to becoming legitimate championship contenders and falling just two games short of the NBA Finals, all while winning the hearts of Phoenix fans along the way. The 2009-10 Suns had everything: aging veteran leaders in Steve Nash and Grant Hill; a young, dominate offensive stud in Amar’e Stoudemire; a big presence in the middle in the form Robin Lopez; and a scrappy, defensive bench. More amazing than the players as individuals was how they all came together as one. The Suns had their highs and lows throughout the season, and through it all the players stuck together. Whether it was during the hot start to the season in November or the struggles the team endured in December and January, the players continued to believe in one another. In today’s world of professional sports it’s very rare to see a group of guys that enjoy spending time with each other off the court just as much as they enjoy playing with each other on the court, however, this Suns team was different. Whether it was the starters standing and cheering on the bench players, the entire team participating in Nash's videos on the team bus or Jared Dudley tweeting for the team not to trade Stoudemire, this group of players was truly special. During the summer, lots of things can change with this current Suns squad. They could come back exactly the same or entirely different — we won’t know until October rolls around. Regardless of what happens, we’ll always have the memories this group gave us, and with that we really can’t complain.]]> 8639 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/06/11/dbacks-digest-arizona-showing-signs-life/ Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:04:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8641 [/caption] Although the bullpen continues to raise concern, the starting pitching rotation has performed well, including an excellent D-backs debut of the "D-train" Dontrelle Willis. Willis provides a new spark to the team, as he can be seen pacing the dugout, motivating his new teammates. He seems to have made himself at home as he recalled his first visit to Chase Field, then Bank One Ballpark. Willis mentioned that he went to the third-level seats to sit in the very section, before the game, that he sat in to watch the team play while he was here in the Cubs organization. Another pitching point worth noting is that Ian Kennedy has seemed to find his groove, performing well in his no-decision outing on Wednesday night. Another baseball event that took place this week for the D-backs was the 2010 first-year draft, where the team loaded up on pitching. Knowing where their troubles lie, the Diamondbacks chose pitchers in 10 of their first 13 picks. The first-round pick for the D-backs was Barret Loux from Texas A&M. Loux was expected to go a bit lower in the draft by most, but the D-backs have had their eye on the right hander for some time. Last year, the Diamondbacks loaded up on position players, so there should be enough talent to staff the farm teams. This weekend, the D-backs finish up their home stand at Chase Field with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals have been struggling as of late, losing four in a row to be overtaken by the Reds in their division. The Cardinals have solid pitching and a perennial All-Star in Albert Pujols. The weekend series is, once again, filled with promotions for the fans, as Friday is — you guessed it — fireworks night at the stadium. On Saturday, the first 15,000 fans in attendance will receive a Dan Haren bobblehead, and on Sunday, the first 5,000 kids in attendance will receive a D. Baxter replica jersey. Sunday is also Baxter's 10th birthday bash. Next week the D-backs will head to the east for Interleague Play, taking on the Boston Red Sox.

Now we have the facts to prove it. A recent study commissioned by Local First Arizona found that SCF Arizona, the state’s largest workers’ compensation insurer, had a $528.3-million economic impact in Arizona in 2009. Applied Economics, who conducted the study, determined that last year SCF sourced 82% of its goods and services from other Arizona companies. According to Kimber Lanning, Executive Director of Local First, the purpose of the study was to show the impact that one major employer can have on Arizona’s economy. In the past, other general measurements have suggested that when consumers buy locally the majority of those dollars spent are recirculated back into the local economy. This is the first fully scientific study in Arizona measuring the economic impact of just one employer.

SCF Arizona is a sleeping giant when it comes to its local economic impact in the state. We hope this study encourages business leaders to think even more broadly about the impact of spending their money with local companies. The ripple effect adds up to much more than most of us realize, and this study quantifies that impact. The numbers are staggering.

— Local First Arizona Executive Director Kimber Lanning

Rick DeGraw, Chief of Staff of SCF Arizona, said the 531-employee company has looked for more ways to buy locally over the past few years. SCF Arizona spent $38.5 million with other Arizona companies in 2009. In turn, this created an estimated $68.2-million impact, including the dollars recirculating within the state. In addition, SCF Arizona pays its employees $36.4 million, or an average of $59,100 per employee plus benefits. This is well above the all-industry average wage across the state. Factoring in employees at all the secondary businesses SCF Arizona purchased from, total employee impact from SCF Arizona was another 3,000 jobs and $167.9 million in annual payroll. These jobs and payroll stem from direct and indirect impacts of supplier demand created by SCF and consumer demand created by its employees. SCF Arizona also plays an important role as a responsible corporate citizen in Arizona, donating a staggering $570,000 to nonprofit entities across the state in 2009, despite the massive economic downturn.

We feel strongly about being an Arizona company. Our policyholders are all Arizona companies, and when we support them, we are really supporting ourselves. That’s true of any business when a consumer spends his or her dollars locally. So, whenever we can, we spend locally.

— SCF Arizona President and CEO Don Smith

Just this month, SCF Arizona stopped buying office supplies from Minneapolis-based Corporate Express and switched to Tempe-based Wist Office Products Co., a workers’ compensation policyholder. “We compared 1,000 products, and were able to move over to Wist without paying more for anything,” DeGraw said. Created in 1925 as a part of the Industrial Commission of Arizona, SCF Arizona employs 555 people, covers more than 35,000 businesses and has about a 40% market share in the state. In May 2010, Gov. Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1045, directing SCF to become a mutual insurance company. Under the law, the organization will have three years to transition, becoming fully privatized in January 2013. When the transition is complete, SCF Arizona will be the largest insurance company in Arizona — and will continue to have a major impact on the local economy. [caption id="" align="alignright" width="159" caption="Kimber Lanning"][/caption] It is hoped that this study reignites interest in local purchasing by both private and public sector organizations in Arizona. Lanning has tried to convince the state of Arizona to switch its $5-million office supply contract with OfficeMax to Wist. In 2007, Local First Arizona organized a study that showed the state’s $5-million office supply contract was losing $500,000 in “leakage” by staying with OfficeMax and not switching to a local supplier. State legislation addressing that issue was unsuccessful in 2008.

The state of Arizona is one of only three remaining states that does not favor local businesses in the purchasing process. Arizona’s purchasing decisions are based on the lowest price rather than actual net gains for the state. We can prove if we spend a bit more money supporting a company that provides Arizona jobs, the impacts are positive.

I did take a moderate detour in my search when I heard about Giant Coffee, finally alive and buzzing. So, I slipped on my high-water jeans and, of course, ran barefoot up the street. Upon locating Giant Coffee, tucked somewhat awkwardly behind Thai Hut and the entrance of Cancer Survivors Park, I was questioning what I would order that would replace all the fluids I sweated out getting there. Even though it is a coffee place, I was determined to order an “iced” anything. So, I slipped through the door into the cozy space and immediately felt at home. With Bunky Boutique jazzing up the north corner of the building, this place reeks of style. Plus, it never hurts that a friendly neighbor is behind the counter waiting to sling some righteous java. It was suggested that I try the iced Honey Vanilla Latte. I couldn’t argue with that. Despite its unmanly-sounding title, it described sweetness, full flavor and icy goodness — all things that I was craving. Once my latte was carefully constructed, I was unable to restrain myself from destroying it. It embodied everything I like about coffee drinks. Each sip was cool and delicious. The vanilla coursed through my veins. This drink was seemingly wrapped in sugary honey. This is the way to cool off in Downtown Phoenix. Should you find yourself needing to check out the hype of Giant Coffee, then make sure you check out the Honey Vanilla Latte. It is seriously a welcomed assault on the taste buds. If you are lucky, you might even have my neighbor make it for you. Don't know who she is? She is the nice one that makes stupendous lattes. Giant Coffee is located at 1437 N. 1st St. in Evans Churchill (light rail station at Central/McDowell).]]> 8672 0 0 0 2499 http://beulahland.blogs.com/photography/ 0 0 3533 http://urbanconnectionrealty.com/2010/11/downtown-phoenix-coffee-houses-on-the-light-rail/ 0 0 2467 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/06/16/dpj-yelper-week-daniel-braggs-pie-factory/ Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:17:38 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8576 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Tempe, AZ Five-star rating 04.21.10 Bragg's Pie Factory is a pretty amazing place. Right in the heat of Grand Avenue's eclectic art scene, this former confection creation station is now a very cool, very open and airy art space. I rented the space for a modest sum to throw a party there for the Phoenix Fringe Festival's closing night, and it couldn't have gone better. There is currently a mutant pinata show going on (stop by, you can see it from the street!) and that made for a really fun vibe for the party. The owner, Beatrice (go visit her at Kooky Krafts up the street), was very accommodating and positive about the whole experience. Beatrice is an energy all her own on Grand Ave., really working to reuse and rehab the marvelous old buildings from Phoenix's former main drag. The building itself is a giant open front room with other, similarly large back rooms that house local businesses. The front room, the one we rented, is about a football field in size, stark white with polished concrete floors. It feels big when you're in it, but we were able to use some select lighting (Xmas lights are your friend) to make the space somewhat intimate. Rock on, Pie Factory, rock on.

The gallery space, one of Downtown's hidden gems, is surprisingly cavernous inside, with polished concrete floors and high ceilings. Built in 1937, the Mission Revival-style building wasn't always intended for commercial purposes. Originally known as the Charles E. Palen House, the brick structure was built using a concrete foundation and a hefty slathering of stucco sheathing. The sand-colored stucco you see today is newer, but remains similar in color to the original (most likely an off-white color). Palen was a painter in Phoenix, and one of a few residents of the home. The building's most recognizable feature is the roof line's stepped and curved parapet, which greets the 1st Street traffic. Additions on the north and east sides of the building were added years later, and the windows have been replaced several times. The tiled window awnings were not part of the original building structure. Later, the Palen House was converted to commercial usage, most notably as the Merryman Funeral Home. The building pioneered the expansion of funeral homes out of the original Phoenix city core into neighborhoods. Obviously, many have since followed suit. The Paulina Miller Gallery opened its doors in 2000, and will sadly close at the end of this month's current exhibit. I urge you to make the building a stop on your Third Friday route this week. The building will continue to host special art shows and private social and corporate events in the interim until a new business takes occupancy.

Whether Dad likes to party or take a quiet stroll through the city, Third Friday provides great opportunity for art viewing at your own pace, with live music and Phoenix's nightlife just steps away. Is Dad a fan of summer concerts? Have him prepped for a those blistering-hot amphitheater shows this summer by making a stop at Civic Space Park (light rail at Central Station) to see Dead West Radio rock the stage. The show starts at 7 p.m., and it's free! Add to the experience by picking up a snack and a latte at Fair Trade Café in the park and perusing this month's art show inside the A.E. England Building, attached to the park stage. [caption id="attachment_8711" align="alignright" width="450" caption="Modified Arts' chill vibe may be just what Dad likes. Photo courtesy of Modified Arts."][/caption] If rock isn't Dad's thing, Charlie Brand of Brooklyn-via-Phoenix band Miniature Tigers is making a rare stripped-down solo appearance (also free!) at the Heard Museum's (light rail at Encanto Station) monthly NU event. Brand will be playing quieter versions of his band's songs, most of which were conceived in a bedroom in Phoenix. Plus, he's always good for some humorous (if slightly bizarre) between-song banter. The performance begins at 8 p.m., and the entire event (filled with art, museum exhibits, food and a lecture) runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Perhaps Dad would enjoy a quieter gallery setting. Modified Arts' (light rail at Roosevelt Station) newly renovated space looks brilliant at night, and the "Reality Reimagined" show debuts on Third Friday. The show, filled with international talent on a variety of mediums, promises "contemporary vision, sometimes irreverent, sometimes frank, and always compelling." The gallery is open from 6 to 9 p.m. A great way to wind down the night is with Eddie J. at The Duce (a short walk south of the Central/Washington or 1st Ave/Jefferson light rail stations). Eddie's keytar stylings are unlike any other in Phoenix, and his baritone register can make any cover song a must-hear. Eddie jams at the Duce bar every Friday until 11 p.m., providing enough time for a perfect nightcap: An Old Fashioned or a Basil Gimlet handcrafted at the Duce's vintage Chicago bar.]]> 8710 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/06/18/top-chef-phoenix/ Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:29:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8714 Until the date arrives when Phoenix itself can lay claim to the title of Top Chef host city, we determined local followers of the hit Bravo reality TV program will need to endure trimmings sent in the interim. As should be noted: At least Phoenix is on the show’s radar to begin with. This Saturday, June 19, Bravo’s Top Chef: The Tour 2010 is making an official layover in Phoenix, at the Phoenix Public Market. Part of a nationwide whistle-stop, the publicity tour is being sponsored locally by the Arizona Culinary Institute and LocalDines.com. The traveling event shuttles former chef’testants of the popular cooking competition show to select cities to participate in cooking demonstrations filmed in front of a live audience, followed later with fan meet-and-greets and cookbook signings. So, make a good impression, Phoenix. May our mugs be camera ready.

Though the inauguration of our searing desert heat has officially begun, don’t be deterred to come out and show some love and attention. Whether you're simply a fan of the hit TV show or even remotely enthusiastic about talented chefs cooking serious food, this is not an event to miss. Loud and proud, let them know Phoenix is a destination on the food map worth further exploration.

Two guest chefs, Ryan Scott (Season 4) and CJ Jacobsen (Season 3), will be on hand. If it's not the mouth-watering food that will lure you to stop by, there will also be prizes, games, autographs and the chance to be on TV. It's a first come first serve basis so get there early before all the plates are empty! There will be four individual performances throughout the day Saturday, with shows at 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Admission is free, and everyone is invited.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 06.01.10 I am at the point where I'm making up reasons to go to The Main Ingredient — it's gotten that bad. I love it. Jumbo Coney Island hot dogs, baked crusty green chili mac and cheese and more microbrews than I can even count, all set to old school East Coast hip hop? Be still my heart! I can't remember the last time I've been to a place with that killer of a vibe. Actually, I'm lying, I can totally remember. It was Hanny's in January of '09. Restaurants never cease to amaze me at how little attention they pay (it seems) to the music/background noise they pump out into their business as if it's a minor detail. I, for one, completely disagree as the music and vibe are the difference for me between a quick 45-minute meal or a three-hour one. And you can guess the difference between the tabs/tips on the latter one. Anyhoo, the food is always consistently fresh and tasty. Nothing overtly fancy — mostly sanwiches and salads with a few just-like-mom-made favorites like mac and cheese and grilled cheese thrown on for good measure. Everything is pretty much in the $6-$9 range as well, which is awesome. Service matches the vibe, very unassuming and laid back, but never lazy or unattentive. I remember being sad when Lisa G closed her doors, but I couldn't be happier with the restaurant that took her place!

It's the oldest building examined in this month-long series, constructed in 1925. It's also the largest and most ornate of the bunch, with its unusual building plan and diagonal alignment. Previously known as First Church of Christ, Scientist, the building has always been a place of worship. Building plans by Fitzhugh & Byron were drawn up in the early 1920s, and construction began in 1924. The building stands out from others in the Evans Churchill neighborhood for one specific reason: its orientation. The unusual plan called for a main auditorium aligned with the city street grid (the south end of the building) and an angled entrance pavilion for "better presentation to the intersection" of 1st and Roosevelt. The entrance, on nearly a 45º angle, greets the traffic on Roosevelt and those coming south on 1st Street from Burton Barr Central Library and other points to the north. This front façade is one of Downtown Phoenix's most iconic building entrances. It is Renaissance in style, with arched loggia between thick end pavilions. The stucco finish of the building is typical and somewhat unremarkable, but other small details — from the archivolt molding, to the simplistic but precise keystones accents, to the entablature protruding above the church sign — are done in the orthodox manner of the time. Cosmetic fixes and small additions to the building frame, mostly facing Roosevelt Street, are not well integrated with the building's historic nature, but they are hidden by some well-placed landscaping. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993.

The neighborhoods are:

1. Campus Vista (generally bounded by Osborn and Thomas roads, 7th and 15th avenues);
2. East Evergreen (generally bounded by McDowell Road, I-10, 3rd and 7th streets);
3. Encanto Manor (generally bounded by Thomas Road, Windsor Avenue, 7th and 15th avenues);
4. Encanto Vista (generally bounded by Windsor Avenue, Encanto Boulevard, 7th and 8th avenues);
5. Garfield (generally bounded by Roosevelt and Van Buren streets, 7th and 16th streets);
6. Los Olivos (located along Monte Vista Road between 3rd and 7th streets);
7. North Garfield (generally bounded by I- 10, Roosevelt Street, 7th and 16th streets);
8. Villa Verde (generally bounded by Monte Vista and Granada roads, 19th and 20th avenues);
9. Woodlea (generally bounded by Glenrosa Avenue, Mackenzie Drive, 7th and 15th avenues);
10. Yaple Park (generally bounded by the Grand Canal, Turney Avenue, 3rd and 7th avenues) [caption id="attachment_8790" align="alignright" width="318" caption="A home in the Los Olivos neighborhood"][/caption]

Each of these neighborhoods had been listed in the Phoenix Historic Property Register but had not been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Copies of the National Register nominations are available on the City of Phoenix website. The main benefit of the National Register listing is that homeowners can apply for the historic property tax reduction, which can cut property taxes by 35-45%. To qualify for the tax reduction, a property must be owner occupied and contributing to the historic district. However, time is of the essence! To be approved for the next tax year, the deadline for submitting applications and photographs to the Maricopa County Assessor's Office is June 30. Homeowners can download an application here.

But, the woman next to you answers a personal phone call and you’re forced to hear the entire conversation, no matter how hard you try to block it out. You decide to take a break and catch up on your social networking until she’s done, but by that time you’ve already lost focus. Sound familiar? It probably does if your job doesn’t provide with you an office space. Fortunately, there is now a place where you can avoid it all. Downtown Phoenix is about to get its first co-working space. It’s called CO+HOOTS, and its purpose is to provide you with a place to work where you will be surrounded by other creative people that can help inspire you instead of hinder your productivity. Co-workers can choose from different membership levels, but first must apply to get a space. They are selected based on how well they are expected to fit in with the other members. “It’s a community of people that believe in the same thing that want to do better, and it’s not just about making money — it’s about building better work,” says CO+HOOTS manager and eeko studio owner Jenny Poon. About a year ago, Poon had the idea of getting three or four other businesses to share a space with her, thinking they would be the elements that make up an advertising agency. “I wanted an office space because that was the most obvious next step for my business,” she reveals. “And then I wanted to be in an environment where I was inspired by other people.” The plan didn’t work out, and Poon stopped searching for a space for a while. When she began to look again, she revisited the former J.B. Bayless Grocery store near 7th and Roosevelt streets, a location she had looked at before. The owner of the historic building suggested she turn it into a co-working space, and, less than two months ago, the idea of CO+HOOTS was born. The 4,000-sq.-ft. building, constructed in 1926, features stained concrete floors, an unfinished 15-foot ceiling and brick walls decorated with artwork and lined with large windows that provide plenty of natural light. Poon also plans to use the space for events, such as First Friday displays and guest speaker appearances. “A big part is doing educational events for small businesses and entrepreneurs who just want to get better,” she says. The first event at CO+HOOTS is its grand opening celebration this First Friday. Guests will be able to tour the facility and learn about the benefits of co-working. There will also be a collection of work from local photographers and artists, and guests will have the opportunity to create a special art project that will be displayed in the building.

Working at CO+HOOTS

Memberships at CO+HOOTS run $350 or $650 a month, and include a variety of features. Interested co-workers can check out the spot with a $10 day pass. A two-week trial runs at approximately $100.

To my joy, The District American Kitchen is nothing like this.

Out for one of the last comfortable summer strolls around Downtown, I decided it was time that I check out what the hubbub is regarding the Sheraton’s lobby-level dweller. I always seem to hear good things, so it was naturally beyond time that I set foot there. For a “snack” list, they have some interesting-sounding grub. Buffalo Nuggets, Po- Boy Shrimp Sliders and Cheesy Corn Dogs, to name a few. I settled on Phillip’s Crab Cake Sliders. Anything that someone is willing to put their name on can’t be bad, right? I remained content at the bar sipping on a ice cold Nimbus Blonde until the delectable sliders appropriately were slid under my nose. The dim light of the bar made picture taking a little bit hard. Fortunately, devouring these bad boys was extremely easy. Honestly, have you ever had a bad crab cake? I haven’t. True to form, these three-bite morsels were extremely tasty. Topped with a lemony mayo, shredded lettuce and tomatoes, this was a delightful treat. I was immediately whisked east, conjuring images of rocky coastlines, cool cocktails and summers at the Cape. The waiter questioned my seemingly catatonic glance off into the distance as I was dreaming of the East Coast, but no matter. That's what a good crab cake does to a man. So, I highly suggest you stroll Downtown sometime and check out the District's bar snack menu. On that fine eve, you will be faced with the trouble of settling on what delectable snack best complements your brew. It’s not a bad problem to have. The District American Kitchen is located in the lobby level of the Sheraton Hotel at 320 N. 3rd St. in the Downtown District (light rail at Central Station) — 602.817.5400]]> 8831 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/06/sips-grub-mango-empanada-royal-market/ Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:28:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8833 Royal at the Market is guilty of this as well. In fact, every Friday they usually stock bacon brownies, which is what I had a hankerin’ to try, but they also get a smorgasbord of other treats that are also heavenly. I strolled down to Royal for a quick coffee fix and to try one of those baked goods rocking the countertop. The good thing about this place is that you are always met with a friendly face and a topnotch drink. Those are just about guarantees. The list of good vibes continues when you have to order your life-blood coffee over a mountain of goodies. I imagine that it is somewhat the same scene in heaven or a blissful afterlife. A little birdie had told me that Royal gets treats on Friday mornings that vanish at a light-speed rate. They are noted for bringing in bacon brownies, which sounds like a combo of two majorly necessary food groups, but this particular morning they had different treats. My eyes locked on the gargantuan mango empanada. This thing was seriously packed to the gills with flaky, fruity goodness. So, after scoring an iced mocha and my empanada, I chilled in the hip back room with the other Royal patrons. Needless to say, I wolfed down that empanada. The outer shell was soft, sweet and full of billowy goodness. The real kicker was the filling, jam-packed with mango, which made my mind take off to a tropical paradise. This treat was legit, and even though it was second on my list, its sweet deliciousness might have pushed it to the top. When the craving for a fantastic coffee of near epic proportions inevitably hits you, saunter over to Royal at the Market to fill your addiction and create a new one. I know I will be back every Friday to try each and every treat they roll out. Royal at the Market is located inside the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar at 14 E.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 05.06.10 So, what happens when you are a little grumpy, have worked a 14-hour day, got up at 4:30 a.m., and still need to get out so you don't go mad? Well, you end up at Lost Leaf with some friends, and nurse a delicious Belgian-style amber beer. What I like about Lost Leaf:

1. Looking at those hipsters. I wish I would have brought my camera.
2. Music would go from Brazilian Bossa Nova to old school Gorillaz, to rock to trip hop.
3. Some guy stopped one of the people in our party and told him, "You know man, I was watching you interact with your friends and I just know everything is going to work out for you." Awesome. We are all glad to know. Odd? definitely. Entertaining? Oh, yes!
4. If you live Downtown, you can hop on your flamed-out beach cruiser with your bell and a basket and ride on over.
5. It's dark, comfy, but still lively; so it's a good place to hang and people watch, or really just hang out with your friends.
6. The art is odd. Really odd. But, like a car crash, you just can't look away.
7. Beer/wine on tap — so it's nice to not have a full bar. Creative beer offerings.
8. COLD — I brought a sweater because, you know, I live in Arizona, so anything under 90º feels chilly to me. I was not warm. Well, until the brew hit; then I was OK.
9. Hard to find — LOVE that part. Walked into the store a couple of houses down to ask directions because I was confused.
10. Room for the band in the back — but not so loud. Still able to talk and enjoy the music without feeling deaf by the end of the night.
11. Bartender was awesome — really nice and super friendly.

What  I don't like?  We sat in the little nook by the front door; when someone was outside smoking I could smell it. But really, if that's my only complaint, I'm good to go!

Wilkinson took on the project in the late '20s, representing Phoenix's first zoning ordinance of neighborhood commercial districts at a major intersection in an otherwise residential area. For residents of what is now the Willo neighborhood — at the time quite suburban — this strip represented the first commercial build that offered easy walkability and convenience. The building also symbolizes Phoenix's fascination with brick structures and Art Deco style in the late '20s, as evidenced by the wall sheathing over cast stone panels. The concrete foundation remains in solid condition, though chunks of the façade have been altered time and time again as businesses have come and gone. This original portion of the building features 11 bays (storefronts), and currently houses Community Florist. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Shawn Anderson Unplugged will start at 7 p.m. in the Living Room Café with music by Bears of Manitou, Matt Harris and Sorry Charlie. If you haven’t heard of Shawn Anderson’s music blog, Electric Mustache, you need to open another tab and start discovering what you’ve been missing. His blog will open your eyes to mind-blowing music, open and trustworthy CD reviews and local and national band updates. After Anderson started Electric Mustache, he started his website, Electric Shots, displaying his photography that makes you feel as if you were there the night of the show. He captures musicians at their purest on stage. His photography will be displayed on the gallery walls on Friday and will stay up all month long. On Friday, watch as his photos come to life, as Bears of Manitou and Matt Harris, who have been subjects of Anderson’s lens, also take the stage. Bears of Manitou have quickly sprouted up in the Phoenix music scene. They opened up for Rocky Votolato in March and everyone was in awe that the duo were playing their first show and nailing it. Gabe Williams, Laney Coletti and Brian Champ make up Bears of Manitou. They are a folk-indie group that has Williams on guitar, piano or ukulele; Coletti changing up her instruments every other song, from bongos to cello to maracas; and Champ on drums as the newest addition to the group. Harris and Sorry Charlie will grace the stage with their soft, rich sound, adding to the soundtrack of the night. Join everyone on First Friday at SuTRA Midtown Yoga, where they will supply the essentials: art, music and completely free (and delicious!) sangria.

One such location, Garfield Galleria, is hardly a hole in the wall (it's actually 12,000 square feet), but its location on McDowell Road and 3rd Avenue is a destination spot, which deters the usual foot traffic from making an appearance. The arts space is home to 13 different studios of various shapes and sizes — all worth exploring — but Matt Priebe's Outside In gallery continually draws attention for its textural, abstract paintings, both simplistic and bursting with expressionism at once. Priebe, a Phoenician who left the desert for stints in Jerome and Seattle before heading toward the glitz of LA stardom, returned to Downtown Phoenix to further hone his craft after glamorous gigs in the pages of Los Angeles magazine and on the set of HBO's Entourage, among others. Privately schooled on abstract expressionism in his early years, Priebe draws on much personal experience, using "his vocabulary of color to capture the viewer between twilight and darkness." To explore Priebe's work further, head to the Outside In gallery inside the Garfield Galleria — 316 W. McDowell Rd. #201 (light rail station at Central/McDowell) in Willo. ]]> 8865 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/01/dbacks-digest-management-rattled-all-star-break/ Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:46:15 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8872 USA Today of moves being made in the upper management and the team management late Thursday. An unconfirmed source informed the media that manager A.J. Hinch and General Manager Josh Byrnes had both been dismissed. Another source stated that Byrnes refused to let Hinch go and was later shown the door as well. [caption id="attachment_8875" align="alignright" width="298" caption="Both Josh Byrnes and A.J. Hinch were fired Thursday as the D-backs try to get back on track."][/caption] Hinch’s short stint as the D-backs manager was put to an abrupt halt as a result of the team’s continued struggles. Team CEO Derrick Hall hinted earlier last month that there would be more changes to come. In what has been the biggest team move for the season, bench coach Kirk Gibson will perform as the interim manager and Jerry Dipoto will assume the former role of Byrnes. The D-backs are currently in last place in the National League West, but do not sport the worst record in the Major Leagues. The team has won four of their last 10, and is 13 games back of the West-leading Padres. Last week, the Diamondbacks took the series against the Tampa Bay Rays, which included a D-backs milestone. Pitcher Edwin Jackson threw the second no-hitter in Diamondbacks history, as he earned the win with a total of 149 pitches. Jackson’s no-hitter was the fourth of the season, and Arizona earned a rare reason to celebrate during these rough times. Following the series in Tampa, the D-backs traveled to St. Louis, where they were able to sneak in a win against the Cardinals in the final game of the series. After being shut out in game two of the series, rookie pitcher Barry Enright earned his first victory as a Diamondback. Enright pitched for five innings, striking out five batters in the win against the Cardinals. The D-backs return home for the 4th of July weekend as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers for a three-game weekend series. The Diamondbacks will be hosting an All-American weekend, as the Friday fireworks will be moved to Saturday night's game and Sunday’s game will include a tribute to the military. Following the Dodgers, the D-backs will face the Cubs for a three-game series beginning Monday. Starting Thursday, the usual day off for the team, the D-backs will remain at home, hosting the Florida Marlins.

Food has that miraculous power that music possesses. It can take you back to a special time and place. This meal took my stomach on the fantastic voyage to my grandmother’s kitchen. Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café rests on the corner of 8th and Jefferson streets, and hearkens to be the soul food spot in the Valley. Given my personal attention to this type of cuisine, I am inclined to agree. Upon entering, you're immediately greeted by Larry Sr. (Mrs. White’s oldest son), kindly steering you to a good seat. Immediately, you'll notice the autographs strewn across all of the walls — most notably the big “CB 34 I’LL BE BACK!!” This place has the signatures to prove that it slings some serious chow. Even though Charles Barkley is from Alabama, I will still trust his judgment skills of authentic soul food. This little café proved further its proper place in my heart when the drinks were listed off. Sweet tea is the nectar of the gods, especially when it is sloshed into a glass with familiarity. I literally swoon at the events that follow. After my glass of sweet, heavenly nectar tea was slid my way, the first plate that graced my table was a slice of homemade cornbread. Heck yes. This stuff was buttery and sweet. Obviously, this bread came from a recipe of someone who knows what is up. Then, the triumphant plate seemingly shook my table — southern fried chicken with green beans (served the right way with baked potato bites) and gravy-smothered rice. This spread can only have been intended for a king. Surely, they were supposed to deliver this type of Utopian cuisine to someone more deserving. This Southern gent was not complaining, though. Let the feasting commence. [caption id="attachment_9016" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Charles Barkley knows what's up."][/caption] Every bite of the chicken is song-inducing (at least the angel choir in my head sang every time). This chicken was steeped in succulent taste from beginning to end. There were no bad or dry parts. If you were to search the dictionary for the word perfection, you would absolutely see a piece of Mrs. White’s chicken. In fact, I am a little teary eyed writing this because I miss eating it right now. Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café is a beacon of true homemade goodness here in Phoenix. There is nothing I would change about this place. My only complaint was that I was too full to order the peach cobbler. Next time, my sweet. Next time. Mrs. White's Golden Rule Café is located at 808 E.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the fourth floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 538-542 W. McDowell Rd. in Willo Last week's blog examined the earliest section of the Hurley Building on 7th Avenue and McDowell Road. This week, let's move to the middle chunk of the building, a post-WWII-era structure that is currently home to Strut Bridal Salon. Examining the Hurley Building from the street, it's fairly obvious that it was built in sections — sections that each have unique exteriors and building materials. The storefronts at 538 and 542 W. McDowell Rd. started construction in 1946, and blueprints called for a Neo Colonial-style panel brick commercial-purpose building connecting to the previous section of the building to the west. Its concrete foundation and brick structure are similar to the previous edge of the building, but it uses stucco wall sheathing as opposed to brick — a sign of the times, as builders looked to cut costs as Arizona's population began to grow and building demand was high. This newer section of the Hurley Building has three storefront bays that have been significantly altered over the decades — originally, the storefronts on McDowell featured wood entries with glass. It may not be up for historic preservation status at any point, but it is certainly a prime example of a sixtysomething-year-old building from Phoenix's post-war boom days.

The band is comprised of Illya Riske, Wasef El-Kharouf, Owen Marshall, Dave Gironda, Tobie Milford and Chris Kasych.

Everyone trades places playing guitar and keyboards, but they also incorporate bass, drums, trumpet and a violin to add lushness to their sound.

The Whisperlights started in February 2009, and after gaining their spot here in Arizona, they hope to repeat the success in other states, as their first West Coast tour started a couple days ago.

The Whisperlights have made a mark in the desert.

Their songs are quirky and fun, but most of all surprising — they’ll have you on your feet dancing in no time with their dark, electronic pop sound. The band’s song process is a huge team effort where every member takes a part in completing a song. “Seventy-five percent of the time each of us will individually write a song with lyrics and basic structure and then 25% of the time somebody will just come up with something that we like, develop it into a song, someone will come in and write lyrics for it,” Riske says. The Whisperlights are more than just bandmates and friends, they’re more like brothers. They have so many inside jokes that no one outside their circle knows what they’re talking about and they email each other constantly throughout the day. “I don’t think there’s ever an hour where we’re not talking to each other via email about something,” El-Kharouf chimes in. They’ve played at the Yucca Tap Room in Tempe and Modified Arts, The Trunk Space and fractal and more in Phoenix, but the band's all-around favorite is The Lost Leaf. “It’s really homey. It’s like playing in your house,” Riske says. The rest of the band joins in saying they love the people, lights and how loud it gets in there. Whenever the band plays there, El-Kharouf has a plan of his own, too. “The Roosevelt is right down the street, so I’m fond of going over there and recruiting people over there to come back. It never goes over well… the DJs yelled at me, screaming, ‘Stop trying to steal people!’” El-Kharouf admits. Outside of Arizona, the band has only played in Las Vegas at a festival, so to say the least, they have been looking forward to this first tour. On the road, the band said they can’t wait for long nights of Scrabble, Uno, backgammon, being in the van with each other and 20 questions. However, Gironda already warns the band that his answer for everything in 20 questions is "Indiana Jones," so the games may not last long. On tour they're supporting their newly released EP, Wake Up Dead, but you can catch them here at home at the Lost Leaf on July 29.]]> 8907 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/07/fresh-market-csm-cards/ Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:23:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8910 The Phoenix Public Market is starting a new Community Supported Market card program that allows you to prepay for your purchases from the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar at a discount.

First, she is holding an artist reception on a Second Friday (not First or Third). For those of us who have bemoaned the lumping of events on First Fridays, this is a welcomed change. Second, and more importantly, Christine is offering those of us who have had to cut our spending during the economic downturn a unique way to purchase her art: She will be offering a substantially discounted monetary price in return for a commitment to provide five to 10 hours of volunteer service through Hands On Phoenix. Prices and volunteer hours per art piece will be set by the artist. Those who wish to purchase her work in the traditional method (i.e., paying the full monetary price) still may do so. “I’m hoping people who come to my show look a little different at what they consider an investment," Cassano says. "By volunteering, you can get so much out of that just by making a personal investment." Want to learn more? A full explanation is available here. Here is an overview of the show:

"Invest With Confidence" draws attention to the disparity between how the American people are feeling the economic recession and the extent to which they are understanding it. Each piece contains a host of embedded objects representing free market commodities, as well as a piece of modern paper currency that is sealed within the work but accessible enough to be removed and recirculated by the collector, thus raising questions about the negotiable integrity of the piece and the value of the art as investment.

One of those things was Stoudemire’s Downtown changing its name. I predicted the owner of Stoudemire’s would get together to open a BBQ restaurant with Taylor Griffin. Instead, Stoudemire’s has changed over to Downtown Sports Grill. I don’t like that name, and I don’t think it fits their clientele. We’ll have to work on that. Over at 7th and Roosevelt streets, the longstanding mural of Stoudemire on the tire shop wall has already been painted over. They didn’t even wait for STAT to leave town. It’s just a plain boring wall now. The last thing our Downtown needs is to lose art. Even the local housing market has been affected. Stoudemire owns no less than four different properties, all of them in the city of Phoenix. Esplanade Place now has an empty penthouse. Can we really afford to have another empty penthouse? I say not! As a direct result of Stoudemire leaving town, we’re left with a restaurant with a bad name, an bland orange wall and more empty houses, but fear not, I have a solution for all three! That solution comes in the form of the Suns' second-round pick, Gani Lawal. Don’t look so shocked. First, is fixing the restaurant formerly known as Stoudemire’s. Although I’ve never been inside, from the outside it looks to be targeting more of a club/nightlife scene. A name like Downtown Sports Grill isn’t going to attract many clubgoers. However, a name like "Gani’s" just might. Factor in that Lawal is from Atlanta, so he probably knows exactly how to run a club. I think we have ourselves a winner! An empty wall on 7th and Roosevelt? Sounds like the perfect place to put up an ad for Lawal’s brand new club. I’m sure Brett Walker would be willing to paint Lawal’s image on the wall for free, too! Now that Lawal is an NBA player and successful nightclub owner, he’s going to need a place to live. That leads us back to the empty penthouse now available at the Biltmore. The location is conveniently located by both of Lawal’s places of employment. Why wouldn’t he want to live there? That is, assuming the Suns give him a large contract. So, while Stoudemire leaving town will definitely result in some changes on and off the court, at least Lawal is here to fix them all. Hail #31!]]> 8962 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/08/dbacks-digest-arizonas-half-season-winds-down/ Fri, 09 Jul 2010 05:45:18 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=8978 [/caption] As we enter the week of the 2010 All-Star Game, the Arizona Diamondbacks have played a first half of a season that they would like to forget. In the past week, Kirk Gibson, who was named the interim team manager, appears to be working out some kinks with the team at the present time. In his debut as manager, the D-backs played some pretty aggressive baseball against the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers, as they beat the team convincingly last Friday night. With the final score 12 to 5, the D-backs ripped up the base paths and were able to knock some runners in by playing a little "small ball." In the following game against the Dodgers, Los Angeles returned the favor, defeating the D-backs 14 to 1 to begin the Diamondbacks' five-game losing skid. As the team continues to struggle, new player names begin to appear on the "chopping block" as the talented team looks to improve its chemistry. The latest rumor has Dan Haren being used as a bargaining tool to receive some more talent. In order for anything to happen there, the D-backs would need to seek a ace-caliber pitcher in return for their ace. Catcher Chris Snyder is being looked at as well, as rumors continue to fly before the All-Star break. Chris Young is the only D-back picked for the All-Star game, held this season in Anaheim, CA, home of the Angels. The annual home run derby, sponsored by State Farm, will be held on Monday and the game on Tuesday. The D-backs will have some time off to recalibrate the team for the second half of the season. This weekend, the D-backs continue a four-game series against the Florida Marlins after winning the first game of the series. Saturday night's game will feature a Greg Schulte bobblehead giveaway to commemorate the KTAR 620 announcer's 2,000th D-backs broadcast. The promotion will be given to the first 15,000 fans in attendance. In the final game of the home stand and the final game before the All-Star break, the D-backs will be giving away Justin Upton T-shirts to the first 5,000 kids, ages 12 and younger.

The Partnership is apparently looking to cook up some buzz on Phoenix's culinary scene, which has had just as many triumphs as failures in recent years due to the economy and other factors. Nonetheless, it paints the picture of a foodie scene bursting with possibilities. It features "the best places to grab a quick bite, bring a date or take the family." It even includes brand-spankin'-new spots, like Nobuo at Teeter House. Inside the guide, there’s a handy pull-out restaurant listing with a map to help you (and your nose) find your restaurant destination — how convenient! In case you get lost, friendly Downtown Ambassadors can point you in the direction of restaurants and print out coupons when available. Yet, strangely, despite noting in the guide that it covers the area from 7th Street to 3rd Avenue and Fillmore to Jackson streets, the pull-out map spans from 7th to 7th, all the way up to McKinley, leaving the fringes of the map looking noticeably empty. Is the map doing a disservice to many restaurants within the map's confines? Likewise, a feature story on the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar, a block outside of this radius on Pierce Street, is one of the main sections of the guide. But the cluster of restaurants on 1st and Pierce streets do not even receive a spot on the map, let alone a mention in the guide. Important to note: The Partnership says Downtown Phoenix has continued to grow in business and city sales tax revenue over the past couple years, unlike much of the state. There was an increase of 6.2% in sales tax from 2008 to 2009, and the guide claims that by the end of the 2010, 38 new restaurants will have opened in the past two years.

Glendale, AZ Four-star rating 05.23.10 It's worth 4 stars for the bacon alone. I had been meaning to stop by for some time and finally cleared all the meat out of my tiny freezer. When I got there at 8 on a Saturday with my cooler, I was the only customer. The butcher and assistant were very helpful, and my bacon, chops, steak and roast were all cut to order. I also got some hamburger. Everything was sealed. Even knowing grass fed beef cooks quicker, I still over did my steak. :( Unless you have incredible self-control, this place is like Costco when it comes to impulse buying and $100 or more is spent before you know it. Because they currently only get one steer a week, many of the popular beef cuts have a waiting list. It was definitely worth the trip Downtown, and I will be back again.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the fourth floor*). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 309 W. Monte Vista Rd. in Willo

History is scattered throughout the Willo district northwest of Downtown proper. With houses from the '20s through the '50s, the neighborhood is considered one of Phoenix's first "suburban" destinations, and although the city has grown around Willo's limits, it still manages to retain much of its charm and tranquility.

The E.J. Middleton House was one of the first here, and is certainly a shining example of the Spanish Mission style that started popping up on the city's outer edges in the late '20s. Built in 1928 by Laing & Heenan, the brick structure with stucco sheathing was the first home in the Broadmoor Subdivision, and one of Phoenix's very first model homes. Built on spec, it drew much praise from local media and revelers who passed by. And why not? The architecture is impeccable. [caption id="attachment_9034" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="The original plan for the Broadmoor subdivision in Willo"][/caption]

Recognizable with its decorative tile entry and cast concrete plasters and its gabled, low-pitched roof of clay tiles, the home was a preview of what was to come in Phoenix. The wood-panel and glass entry — copied hundreds of times since — was praised time and again as Phoenicians visited for the first taste of Broadmoor.

The architecture — a gutsy move by conventional Phoenician standards of the time — was a smashing success, and the home was toured by many in 1928 and 1929. The interior was decorated and furnished completely by Barrows Furniture Company in a then-contemporary Spanish style to complement the build. Visitors marveled at the state-of-the-art plumbing, heating and electrical systems the home offered. Other houses were completed in Broadmoor before the model was eventually purchased by Middleton in 1930. Middleton did make a few changes to the home. The porch, originally without sheathing, was infilled with stucco walls. He later built a rear addition to the home shortly after moving in, presumably in 1930 or 1931.

When you walk toward the venue, more often than not a small house cat is walking around or just chilling on someone’s car. You’re usually greeted at the door by co-owners JRC and Stephanie Carrico, who you will always see with a penguin side bag in which the insides are always a mystery. JRC and Stephanie have created a home to teenagers all over. You walk into The Trunk Space feeling as if you’ve just walked into another world where everyone looks at you as a new friend. There’s a photo booth to the left and a coffee cart to the right. Art, crafts and clothes fill up the room and a small stage in the corner reminds you that this is indeed a venue. On the walls, awards from New Times' Best of Phoenix hang like trophies. The records at your right carry artists you’ve probably never heard of and a crate full of singers and bands with Trunk Space-approved mustaches. The Trunk Space becomes your home for the next couple hours while JRC and Stephanie pose as parents running around, making sure you get a flyer, making sure the band is on time and making sure everyone is sticking around for all the acts. Opened in 2004, The Trunk Space, carries theater, music and the arts. “That’s why we called it The Trunk Space, cause it’d be like an old trunk where you open it up and it's always a surprise,” Stephanie says. Before it was The Trunk Space, the room hosted Vaudeville in 1904, then became a number of things, from an Indian motorcycle shop to a grocery store. JRC and Stephanie used to run a coffee cart together inside the former Paper Heart Gallery further down Grand Avenue, but after a year of working there, they decided it was time to break off and start their own thing. Six years later, The Trunk Space has made a permanent residence in Downtown Phoenix. Local and national acts have come from all over and filled The Trunk Space with memorable moments. “Andrew Jackson Jihad has been huge in helping us, and I think we’ve been huge in helping him,” Stephanie says of the Downtown-based folk-punkers. The Trunk Space has also made a permanent mark on Andrew Jackson Jihad. “Sean from Andrew Jackson Jihad got 1506 tattooed on his arm (the address of The Trunk Space), but through the front window [of the venue] it’s backwards,” Stephanie admits. JRC, Stephanie and a couple others all have 1506 tattooed backwards. “I think we’re officially a gang,” Stephanie says, while JRC adds, “We didn’t force any of them.” Countless local acts, as well as artists like Matt and Kim, Joe Jack Talcum from The Dead Milkmen and Xiu Xiu have all performed at The Trunk Space. From theater to music to art, they host it all. There is always something going on at The Trunk Space, so there’s no excuse on why you shouldn’t be visiting this amazing, one-of-a-kind venue. The Trunk Space is located at 1506 Grand Avenue.

Warrick will end up being a very underrated signing in my opinion. He will come in with an unfair disadvantage since he was the power forward the Suns signed after losing Amar’e, but he’ll most likely be replacing what Lou gave the team. He can play both forward spots, can get out and run and has a pretty solid mid-range jumper. He doesn’t have the defense or rebounding of Amundson, but he’s much more polished on offense and can run the pick-and-roll. Oh, and his contract is a bargain at about $18 million over four years (especially when you consider the contracts guys like Amir Johnson and Drew Gooden received elsewhere around the league). Robert Sarver and Alvin Gentry (and presumably Lon Babby, who is hotly rumored to be the team's new President) went overseas for their next move, convincing Josh Childress to come back home to the States in working out their second sign-and-trade of the summer, this time with the Atlanta Hawks. Childress has played in Greece the past two seasons, but the Hawks still retained his NBA rights. Thanks to Atlanta stupidly overpaying to keep former Sun Joe Johnson, the Suns were able to use another portion of the Stoudemire exception to nab Childress and his 'fro for a future second-round draft pick. I threw a fit a few summers ago when the Suns didn’t demand J-Chill in the Johnson trade, so I’m beyond excited to have Childress joining the Purple Gang. He’ll fit in perfectly. He can get up and down the court, play both at the two and three and has excellent perimeter defense. In addition to his on-court talents, Childress is a quality character guy that is sure to help with the Suns' already stellar chemistry. Finally, Phoenix was able to ship LB for Hedo Turkoglu. Initially, this was a move I was on the fence about, but it’s grown on me. Moving the Blur was clearly best for both the organization and Barbosa, but bringing in Turk’s contract could be troublesome. However, that all changed when Hedo was willing to give up about $5 million of his trade kicker and only guarantee half of his final contract year. By doing this, Turkoglu showed he wants to be here and he’ll work hard. If the Suns get the Turkoglu from Orlando and not the one from Toronto, this will be a great fit. Hedo will give the Suns the clutch shooter they’ve been lacking, someone unafraid to take shots with the game on the line. To top it off, he has great play-making ability, which will take some pressure off Steve Nash. Can you imagine Hedo and Frye and/or Lopez running the pick-and-roll together? It’s a legitimate possibility for the upcoming season. [caption id="attachment_9061" align="alignleft" width="368" caption="Hedo Turkoglu will be the new starting power forward for the Suns. Reuters photo"][/caption] Hedo could have an impact off the court as well. Knowing how passionate European sports fans are and how they always show up to support their fellow countrymen, US Airways Center is bound to get a fairly large number of Turkish fans (with Turkish flags). Al-Hana and Baiz Market could both see a jump in clientele as a result. Heck, I’m sure Hedo will swing by there himself. Or, maybe Turk will just purchase a spot Downtown and open his own European club. We all know how much he loves to party. Overall, I think these moves make the Suns better in the immediate future. Phoenix will be weaker up front and may take a step back in the rebounding department, but the perimeter defense will be much better and the offense may be the greatest in the Nash era. Plus, the Suns still have some of the trade exception remaining, so more moves could be on the way.]]> 9052 0 0 0 2611 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 3324 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 2611 169 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/16/third-friday-hoppin-good-time/ Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:40:41 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9070 It is rare to see amphibious life on Grand Avenue, so take this Third Friday as an opportunity to experience the way of the frog. Yes, that's right, starting tonight and throughout the rest of July, you may notice a frog-woman hybrid near Soul Invictus, but no need for a double take. That's FrogWoman, the star of the wacky new dark comedy of the same name about a mega film star surgically enhanced to look like a frog. I really can't make this stuff up. Per the play's description:

[FrogWoman] escapes the clutches from her overprotective producer to find her place in a dangerous and confusing world. Hunted down by her psychopathic producer, chased by overzealous "FrogWomanHeads" and longing for her frog in shining armor, she goes from riches to rags and finds happiness and love along the way. This is a tale that will touch you, surprise you and make you hop away happily into the night!

Not sure what "FrogWomanHeads" are, or what their significance is, but anything that promises to make Third Friday goers hop happily into the night is presumably an entertaining ride. The rags-to-riches story is sure to compel the audience, and the oddly Frankenstein-esque quality of the main character hints that there may be just as much human as frog in this power struggle of a story. The show, written by Theatre in My Basement founder Chris Danowski, is directed by the founder of The Sic Sense Sketch Comedy Troupe, Franc Gaxiola. "FrogWoman" debuts tonight at 8 p.m., and runs July 17, 23-25, 30-31. Tickets are $15 (cash only at the door) or online.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 04.06.10 I just moved Downtown, so I needed to find a new barber. Nevermind the fact that I hadn't had a haircut in eight months because a) Halloween dictated it, and then b) my original stylist moved back to KC and I was basically pouting via my refusal to get my hair cut again until now. But, after some Yelp research (and going by who was within walking distance), this is where I decided to try. Super greatness. A wonderful, tiny little shop with a lived-in feel — the way things should be in a downtown. The girl doing my hair spent some serious TLC on me, tending to the details, double passing over areas, the warm cream and straight-edge on my neck, and just overall doing a great job. In the end it was just $16, which makes it easy to hand over a crisp $20 bill and be all paid up.

La Crepe Nanou — The Big Easy comes to CityScape, in another Jason Doyle concept. Crepes, seafood and other café items highlight the menu, set to launch in October or November. LGO Public House — Seemingly every Phoenician is familiar with LGO's many concepts, from La Grande Orange to Chelsea's Kitchen.

For my celebrations, I like to include the old-fashioned cure-all: ice cream. Fortunately for yours truly, Pink Spot serves up righteous parties by the scoopful. As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, I have been desperately trying to find places around Downtown that serve up something that can take my mind off the heat. I have learned in my short time here that diversion is the best way to keep me in good spirits. So, my latest conquest is Pink Spot. This ice cream shop is a saving grace to my oven-roasted spirits. I needed something cool. This quaint shop situated next to a zpizza, definitely reeks of cool (double entendres are fun). It has a hip, soda shop-esque vibe that makes it not just a place to stop by, but a sweet place to hang out. Considering that they have lots of different specials and dish out some fantastic-smelling coffee, I might be spending the impending “dog days of summer” here. They want you to hang out, considering that they fling free WiFi at you. How cool is that? My appetite for cool refreshment would not allow me to linger around checking the place out for long. I was seemingly launched toward the counter in icy-oasis-seeking rage. Immediately, my eyes landed on a flavor of ice cream from my youth, black cherry. I can’t explain why, but I spent several Southern summers downing cherry-flavored ice cream. It is like heaven to my tastebuds. Once my massive single scoop was presented ever so sweetly in a waffle cone, I was in a state of undeterred bliss. Each taste was sweet, creamy and loaded with fresh cherry bits. This ice cream was, as the youngens say, "off the hook." That hard-sought oasis was attained in the feeding frenzy that I partook in. Don’t worry, I made sure to decorate my shirt and face with it as I scarfed it down. Ask yourself if summer is wearing on you. I’m thinking that our own little hip ice cream shop may have the cure for what ails you. I know I’ll be beating the heat at Pink Spot. So, come on down and share in my ice cream comas.

McDowell Rd. in Willo If you're looking for an excellent, well-preserved example of Spanish eclectic architecture, look no further than the El Conquistador Apartments building on McDowell Road and 5th Avenue. The building represents an iconic era for this neighborhood, when McDowell was becoming one of the city's major retail thoroughfares and the neighborhoods to the north and south were beginning to fill up nicely. The apartments were completed in November 1931 by architect Wallingford & Bell and contractor William G. Elder, and represented a then rare and desirable trait: Multi-family housing that abutted the quiet Willo neighborhood following a city zoning ordinance in 1930 that zoned the subdivision for single-family buildings only. Because the tract of land is on McDowell, the apartments were completed without controversy. The building was owned by Mrs. Effie Anne Purcell, who rented it out to tenants for several years. With just nine units, the two-story building was a hot commodity from the day it opened. Brick with a concrete foundation and clay tile roofing, the exposed rafters and wooden French door entries were a hit with residents. The building has been altered, most notably with all-new windows and sashes and some infill spots on first-floor openings.

When I heard that renowned chef Nobuo Fukuda was opening a place in Heritage Square, I knew that I had my chance to try some food that would be epicly good and out of my comfort zone. I took a sweaty walk through Heritage Square on a journey to end my growing hunger. The Teeter House used to just sit as a beacon of Phoenix’s historical past. Now, it serves as a welcomed light for those of us who hunger for sweet Japanese cuisine. Upon even walking onto the deck, I noticed that this place had been gussied up for the privilege of becoming an iconic restaurant. Inside, Nobuo subtly harkened to its cuisine with its décor. Freshly revitalized walls and a sweet, dark, moody bar set this place off and seemed to remove me from any notion of the hellacious desert heat just beyond the door. Once seated, I began my usual ritual of scouring the menu looking for each and everything that I wanted to try. The unfortunate problem this menu presented was that I literally wanted to order everything. I settled on the Tonkatsu sandwich, and I had fun attempting to say it. (My Japanese is less than stellar for some reason.) Once this glorious gem was presented ever so sweetly to me, I was instantly in love. The Tonkastu sandwich consists of pork cutlets on toasted shoku pan (which has an amazing and surprising flavor), heirloom tomatoes and sprinklings of wasabi. Whew son, this stuff is an all-out assault on your senses. Its aroma invades your sinuses from the get-go and each bite increasingly dances on your tongue with a mix of sweet and spice that is unmatched. The pork holds a magnificent consistency and tastes ever so delicious. The dabbling of wasabi caught me off-guard at first, but set the sandwich ablaze with flavor. You will not forget the bevy of tastes that you experience in this one dish. Fortunately, this is just the beginning for Nobuo, and they are only open for lunch right now. I am anxious to try the dishes that Nobuo rolls out for the upcoming dinner menu. Until then, I will be more than content packing Tonkatsu sandwiches into my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox. Nobuo at Teeter House is located in Heritage Square at 622 E.

The band, comprised of Charlie Brand (vocals, guitar), Rick Schaier (vocals, drums), Algernon Quashie (guitar, keyboard) and Alex Gerber (vocals, bass), was founded by Brand and Schaier in 2006, and they had friends fill in until they found Quashie and Gerber last year. [caption id="attachment_9135" align="alignright" width="427" caption="Miniature Tigers"][/caption] The Mini Ts have a few notches on their belt when it comes to touring. They toured for seven months in 2009, playing some notable shows with Ben Folds. This year, they've already toured with indie bands Free Energy and The Morning Benders. Now supporting Fortress on the road, DPJ chatted with Brand as he was prepping for a show in Seattle. “We listen to a lot of music, read and watch movies,” Brand says about what the band does on tour. They explore the cities they play in quite a bit, too. Amongst their favorites: San Francisco, their new hometown of New York and Phoenix, of course. In all this time on the road, the band has played around with its sound as well. Brand thinks Fortress will be familiar enough to old fans, but it also expands the band's sound. “It’s more psychedelic and has more of an experimental element to it,” he says. Miniature Tigers got their start playing all over Downtown in their Phoenix days at Modified Arts, The Rhythm Room, The Trunk Space and The PHiX. Now, they have been recognized in music bibles like Rolling Stone and SPIN, and will be playing this year's Lollapalooza, yet Brand feels their musical success has been “slow and steady.” Yet they've hardly been moving slowly lately, having recently shot a video for their new single, "Gold Skull," produced by Neon Indian, and readying Fortress and an extensive touring itinerary. Fortress will officially be released on Tuesday, the same day Miniature Tigers will be in Phoenix to play at the Rhythm Room. The Spinto Band, Owan Evans and Phoenix-based rockers Kinch and are also on the bill. The show starts at 7:30, and tickets are only $10 in advance or $12 at the door.

These focus groups were part of the Central Phoenix Transportation Framework Study (CPHX), the latest in a series of long-range planning studies initiated by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). The interest generated by previous framework studies has launched a new generation of planning for the MAG region: “... where the needs of the distant future are determined and balanced against the current challenges of providing multimodal transportation in times of shrinking revenues and growing environmental and energy concerns.” The Central Phoenix study area encompasses much of the Phoenix metropolitan core and is bounded generally by Loop 101 to the west, north and east and by Loop 202 and the Gila River Indian Community to the south. The fact that it covers such a vast area, much of which is outside the traditional definitions of Central Phoenix (or, ahem, CenPho), led the facilitator and some of the participants to more accurately describe the area as the “Central Valley.” The study’s goal is to develop an environmentally sustainable multimodal transportation network; to determine and prioritize capacity, operational and safety improvements; and form a framework for regional connections and roadways within the study area. As part of this effort, the CPHX team hosted five focus groups to foster dialogue on specific interests:

• Public safety: This focus group will concentrate on public safety issues and considerations for a long-term multimodal transportation system.

• Commercial interests: This focus group will concentrate on the movements of freight within and through the transportation network and discuss commercial interests specific to aviation, rail and trucking.

• Economic development & downtown development: This focus group will discuss how a multimodal transportation network can support economic development.

• Transit, bike and pedestrian interests: This focus group will concentrate specifically on transit- and pedestrian-oriented and specialized modes of transportation.

• Sustainability and livability: This focus group will concentrate on how a multimodal transportation network can enhance livability and promote sustainability.

I participated in the last three groups, Economic development, transit and sustainability. There was a lot of overlap in each of these sessions. While the moderator did his best to get the groups focused in on the specific topic at hand, it was evident that most of the participants did not see each occurring in a vacuum —  in others words, we realized that downtown development requires adequate transit and pedestrian-oriented transportation to be livable and sustainable (and vice versa). While I do not have high hopes that these sessions will change anything substantially in the near term (the Project Manager himself said that the framework study will be presented to MAG’s Regional Council for acceptance, meaning that it will not be binding in any way), I nevertheless feel that the sessions were worthwhile. If Central Phoenix (however you define it), is going to be an attractive space for our children and grandchildren to live, we need to start building a common understanding of the challenges ahead and a framework to navigate through them. Stay tuned for follow-up sessions on the CPHX framework study. In the meantime, if you would like more information, please contact Robert Hazlett, Project Manager, at 602.254.6490, or Peggy Fiandaca, Public Involvement Coordinator, at 480.816.1811, or email the CPHX team.]]> 9148 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/07/26/phoenix-mercury-amber-cox/ Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:44:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9187 [/caption] What kind of entertainment in Downtown Phoenix is inexpensive, great for the whole family, gets you out of the heat and is something you may not have considered before, even though it has been around for more than 10 years? Give up? A Phoenix Mercury basketball game. The Mercury’s new Chief Operating Officer, Amber Cox, is hoping to reach out to the Downtown community and encourage residents to embrace the Phoenix Mercury as a part of their neighborhood and as a premier entertainment option. “I think the Mercury has always been about great family entertainment at a really affordable price,” Cox says, adding that tickets for lower-level seats are only $10 each. “We have a great core fan base that’s been with us 13 or 14 years, but I think there are a lot people that live Downtown that haven’t selected the Mercury as something to do on a Friday or Saturday night.” Cox, a Missouri native and former high school and college basketball player, moved to Arizona in late 2004 to join the Mercury staff after working as the assistant athletic director at Columbia College in Missouri for five years. When she joined the Mercury, she started working as the director of marketing and promotions, a position she held for six years until she was recently promoted to Chief Operating Officer. As the COO, she is in charge of business operations, budgets, community relations and marketing, among other things. Cox has played an essential role in driving ticket and sponsorship revenue by developing and implementing advertising, promotions and media plans. She also led marketing efforts for the Phoenix Roadrunners, the Valley’s former minor league hockey team, for three seasons from 2006 to 2009. She currently serves on the Phoenix Women’s Sports Association board of directors. Although she has been in Arizona for several years, Cox has only lived in the Downtown area for about three years. She first lived in north Scottsdale and says she only ventured downtown for work, but now loves living here. “When I made the move down here, I just started discovering all of the great restaurants, different coffeehouses; and I think once you move down here you want to see it flourish, you want to see it grow,” she says. “I think all of the progress that’s being made is really exciting for the city of Phoenix, and certainly for everybody that lives down here and works down here.” Now Cox hopes that the Mercury become a bigger part of the growing Downtown community, which she says already does a great job supporting the Phoenix Suns and the Diamondbacks. “We’d love to see more people give give (the Mercury) a try,” she says. The Mercury play at US Airways Center (light rail stations at 3rd Street and Washington/Jefferson) all summer long.

Every week, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Troy S. Scottsdale, AZ Five-star rating 06.13.10 Here is my (probably not unique) take on Pizzeria Bianco: Don't come here on a budget, order away and leave satisfied. Don't expect to walk right in, unless you plan ahead (get there at 4 p.m.), and come on an off night. Life isn't fair, so pay attention to who is arriving before and after you as you arrive (if early), as we have been placed on the honor system, otherwise you may not make the first wave. So, on to the grub. They have (über-cold) Four Peaks Sunbru on draft. This beer HAS to be super cold for me to like it, and it was that, and it pairs great with pasta/pizza. We started off with the antipasto, and yeah, we ate it all. The veggies cooked in wood gave it a nice flavor. Not necessarily the best antipasto ever, but different, and an excellent appetizer. We ordered a Sonny Boy (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, salami, gaeta olives) and a Wiseguy (wood roasted onion, house smoked mozzarella, fennel sausage). The Wiseguy is a white pizza, which I am usually not too fond of, but the fennel sausage and ultra thin crust it was excellent. The real winner in this meal was the Sonny Boy. Literally covered in thin, crisping salami and mozzarella cheese that actually had flavor, this was hands down the best pizza I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I will come here again, early, hopefully often. Pizzeria Bianco is located at 623 E.

Luckily, the Albert Apartments were built in 1929. Well aware that a zoning change was on the horizon, builder E.S. Matlock drew up a small, multi-resident Pueblo Revival building for a lot on the corner of Monte Vista Road and 7th Avenue. More than 80 years later, it sits relatively inconspicuous, blending into the fabric of the neighborhood with relative ease.

However, its parapet eaves and recessed wood entry would make it distinguishable, if it weren't nearly hidden by mature vegetation in the front yard. The front veranda, arched proudly and flanked by brick piers, remains in excellent condition. Air conditioning was installed in 1936, and remains one of the biggest changes, save for some cosmetic improvements over the years.

"It’s getting close. We’re aiming for some time at the end of the year." Every month, Kongos will release a song from the album. “It’s a Good Life” and “Come with Me Now” are now available on the band's website for free. “It helps get a little bit of buzz,” Johnny says of releasing each song. And it’s been working. “It’s a Good Life” has been one of Dallas’ KXT FM's top songs for the past two or three months. Although the band hasn’t even been to Dallas, they’ve been thinking of touring after the album is done and going there just because of their popularity. Right now, they’re focusing on grabbing the attention of Phoenix and LA. They’ve played LA many times and will be playing at the House of Blues Foundation Room at the end of August. The brothers were young when they came to Arizona, but they definitely noticed how different it was going to be. “[Phoenix] is literally the other side of the world in every way,” Johnny says. Eventually, they want to make it back to London, but for right now their pockets can only afford Phoenix and LA. “Phoenix is really great," Johnny says. "Downtown is really starting to get a scene now. When you go Downtown and a couple places in Tempe, there is a scene happening." The Lost Leaf has become the band’s favorite place to play, and they jam there pretty consistently. “We play a three- to four-hour set there; we play whatever we want, and it has an amazing vibe,” Johnny says. If you see them live at the Lost Leaf, you’ll truly see music at its rawest. Kongos improvises most of its set, with just a small form of how their song is going to go. “When it gets packed in there and [the crowd] reacts, we just feed on the energy,” Johnny says. “You can sit in the studio and never know if it connects to people.” The stage is the one place where Kongos can really let loose, but don’t think these brothers don’t get at each other’s throats from time to time. “We do fight a lot," Johnny admits. "We’re brothers at the end of the day. We actually live together, so the farthest we can go is just a couple hundred yards." Kongos will play one of its epic sets on Saturday at the Lost Leaf, so stop by and experience their music for yourself.

Reports indicate that he will be OK to begin pitching again this weekend for the Halos. In return, the D-backs received some much-needed left-handed pitching help, acquiring Joe Saunders from the Angels. Additionally, the Angels dealt Rafael Rodriguez and Patrick Corbin to Arizona. Rodriguez is a right-handed reliever, while Corbin is another left-handed starter that should add some extra help to the pitching staff. This weekend, the D-backs will head to Citi Field in New York, where they will face the Mets, who they swept during the teams' previous series. On Monday, the Diamondbacks will return to Arizona to face the Washington Nationals in a four-game series. The Nationals are in last place in the National League East, but have still proven to be trouble for opposing teams.

Closing unexpectedly in June of last year, the shuttering of Fukuda’s Japanese-inspired Sea Saw reverberated coast to coast. Appointed one of the best restaurants in the Phoenix area at the time by not only the local press, but also the national media, Sea Saw consistently etched itself onto bucket lists of diners based nearby and beyond. Beyond simply losing one of the best restaurants in the Valley, however, the story’s most ambiguous chord was Fukuda’s future in Phoenix. Of course he would cook again professionally, but would he remain here? Among that elusive guild of unquestionably top-tier chefs, when such a star becomes a free agent, temptation to cook elsewhere in, say, more mature dining markets like New York City or San Francisco, gossip and speculation is unavoidable. Talent retention is always a concern in a transient-heavy city like Phoenix, so thankfully Fukuda killed such chatter with his announced intentions to remain a local, instigating plans for a new restaurant somewhere in Central Phoenix. Sea Saw’s demise proved only a temporary sting. [caption id="attachment_9262" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Marinated short ribs"][/caption] As the dust settled, Scottsdale’s public loss quickly became Downtown Phoenix’s humble gain. Opting for a more central, urban location quickly became a desire for Fukuda. In Heritage Square, inside the freshly rehabbed turn-of-the-century Teeter House, he seemed to find such an ideal address. Dark near-mahogany flooring and grainy woodwork maintained throughout; trimmed with diluted grays, browns, greens and blues, Nobuo at Teeter House radiates thoughtful century-old preservation, polished smartly for contemporary eating and mild Japanese flair. The space is quiet regardless of decibels, equally understated and modern without the energy of pretension. An eventual wrap-around outdoor dining area will soon be complete, nearly doubling the restaurant’s seating capacity. In terms of edible indulgences at Nobuo at Teeter House, expect an evolving Japanese-anchored, western-nudged menu of generally small, sharable plates. Fundamentally inspired by a Japanese brand of neighborhood, working-class taverns — izakaya — also expect agreeably lower price points and a more relaxed posture of place. [caption id="attachment_9263" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Okonomiyaki"][/caption] On the current lunch menu, focal points include the ebi salad ($9) — grilled shrimp skewered atop a hill of cold rice noodles and cucumber, pointed with purple basil and mint; the marinated short ribs ($8), sliced and squeezed inside hefty steamed buns and layered with subtle housemade pickles; the ever-so-hearty okonomiyaki ($8) — think savory Japanese flapjack molded with shrimp and pork, lying underneath weaves of Japanese mayonnaise and a dense, tangy and sweet okonomiyaki sauce, finally garnished with bonito and shaved seaweed; and then, wholeheartedly a favorite: the panko-plastered whole-fried soft shell crab sandwich ($10), served defiantly between slices of homemade focaccia, among cucumbers and a light brush of aioli. For libations, an eventual roster of cocktails, wine, beer, as well as a dedicated selection of teas — for sipping or pairing — are planned to be phased in as business matures in the coming weeks and months. In an effort to iron out expected newbie restaurant kinks, in anticipation of full-blown dinner service that starts tonight at 5:30 p.m., Nobuo softly opened in July only serving lunch six days a week, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. An eventual feature of the evening meal service will bring back one of Fukuda’s Sea Saw signatures: his private omakase (chef’s choice) dining experience, by reservation only, to be served in the bar area. Longtime fans and those yet to discover the magic of Fukuda are fortunate to be able to experience the acclaimed chef's vision and skill once again, in our own back yard. We locals shouldn’t take this lightly, as such great things rarely happen more than once. For more information and full menus, visit nobuofukuda.com. Nobuo at Teeter House is located at 622 E.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 07.25.10 Another hidden gem only discovered through the previously hidden gem called Zinnias! Love, love, love this place! So, OK, I don't really wear vintage, but I love to look at the stuff and always dream of finding the perfect vintage dress that will fit me like a glove and stun those living in my little world. And, I know when I find that magical dress, it will likely be found at Hollywood Regency. They've got some great stuff, and the place doesn't smell like mothballs and mildew. It's clean and fresh and funky. Oh, and there are two cats that saunter around the place, greeting you every now and then will a quick meow. Funky fashion and felines... what's better than that?! But in all seriousness, I really think this is a topnotch place to find great vintage clothes. Everything is in great condition and stylish — not so over the top that you could only wear it on Halloween, but unique enough that you look hip, classic and one of a kind. They've got tons of dresses, from causal to dressy to formal. I keep wishing I'd get invited to some great event, so I could find a cool, sleek dress that everyone will wonder where I got it from. (I've always wanted to tell someone, "Oh, this? This is vintage.") They also have some Krameresq shirts for men, a great selection of coats and shoes for both sexes, and also some cool costume jewelery and classic handbags. So, if vintage is your thing, definitely take a trip to Hollywood Regency. And even if it isn't, still go. You might be surprised by how cool it can be! Hollywood Regency Vintage is located at 724 W.

This little Italian spot just might be what you have been waiting for. Being the investigator that I am, I scoured the Internet to locate a fresh, delectable margherita pizza. After looking around, I found that just down the street from me resides a sweet-looking pizza that might be a diamond in the rough. So, I set my sights on Centurion in hopes of having my cravings quieted. Previously, this quaint spot had been home to some short-lived restaurants, so I was a bit skeptical, but as I approached, the breeze brought the smells of deliciousness that I was sure to enjoy. Once you squeeze through the door, you are met by a small room that snuggles you to the kitchen. Everyone is forced to be your friend in such tight quarters, but that's not such a bad thing. I was informed by a friend that restaurants of this size exist all over culinary epicenters such as Chicago and New York. Any discomfort I had with the place was quickly wiped away by the nature of the hosts. They were at my side with welcoming smiles and a rather impressive menu within seconds. After a delectable, pillowy baked brie starter, the evening’s main event, the margherita pizza, arrived in all of its splendor. Piled high with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil, this was an extremely delicious pizza. The secret, or so I’m told, is the generous drizzle of balsamic-blueberry reduction, which gives it a slightly sweet surprise. You know me, I love sweet things, so this entrée was extremely welcomed. Every taste was amplified over the previous and my tastebuds were aflutter over the serious vacation they were on. I didn’t rest until every crumb was consumed (I must confess, I had help. I’m no Adam Richman). The night of searching for a new spot to crave was a supreme success. So, don’t let the Roman guard on the patio frighten you — this place is as friendly and as tasty as they come. I know I will be high-fiving my new Centurion friend as often as possible. Centurion is located at 214 W. Roosevelt St. in Roosevelt (light rail at Roosevelt Station) — 602.687.8796]]> 9296 0 0 0 2774 0 0 3520 3518 0 3518 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/04/fresh-market-vote-market/ Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:25:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9308

Snake! Snakes! Haven't heard them yet? You will soon, because Snake! Snake! Snakes! is having its first EP release show on August 11, and you are personally invited. The band was a three-piece for many years, with friends helping here and there to play shows. Finally, they settled on a lineup of Jonathan Messenger (vocals, guitar), Christopher Sanchez (bass), George Rodriguez (keyboard) and David Cooper (drums). Messenger, Sanchez and Rodriguez were called The Tuning Room for about four years until Messenger decided on Snake! Snake! Snakes! Sanchez added the exclamation points. DPJ talked to Sanchez about snakes, music and Phoenix. “We’re not into snakes or anything like that,” Sanchez says, putting an end to any speculation. As the band was starting to craft its first songs, they were having just one problem: finding a drummer. Every time they did find one, they would throw away their songs and start all over again. “We went through at least eight drummers before we found David,” Sanchez recalls. Cooper was the guy next door who became a bandmate. SSS has played mostly Downtown Phoenix venues like Modified Arts, the PHiX and The Rhythm Room, but they’ve also played in the East Valley and some spots in Tucson. “People are starting to dig us a lot more,” Sanchez says after playing regularly for some time. They were recently on Radio Phoenix, but they’re still new to the idea of getting interviewed and being in the limelight. However, through the power of the Internet, fans have popped up in New York, Hawaii and even Canada. Their self-titled EP has five old but rearranged songs on it and one that was written only three days prior to recording. “We ended up liking it so much that we recorded it,” Sanchez says. Before recording, the band had “never made a real, legit CD,” but had some bedroom recordings, so spending time in a studio was something new. “We actually recorded this in March,” Sanchez says of the EP. “We’re big-time slackers. It was supposed to come out in June, then July, and now August.” If you’re too anxious to wait until next Wednesday for the physical copy, you could buy it off iTunes right now, but you should wait for the real deal, because Messenger's album artwork gives it a better touch than the digital copy. SSS is planning a tour later on this year, but things aren’t set in stone. “We want to get on the road real bad,” Sanchez says eagerly. They band's goals right now are touring and eventually recording a full-length album, but they have something even bigger they want to check off their bucket list. “Our big dream and our big goal is to play the Conan O’ Brien show,” Sanchez says. By the time O'Brien's late-night show debuts on TBS this fall, they may be ready. But if you don’t want to wait until then, why don’t you join me at the show next Wednesday? The Snake! Snake! Snakes! EP release show is Wednesday, August 11 at the Rhythm Room, with Phoenix locals Gospel Claws, Dust Jacket and Ladylike also on the bill. Tickets are $8, available online here. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E.

One of the criticisms that came out of the initial focus groups was the definition of Central Phoenix as stretching between from Loop 101 to the west, north and east, and Loop 202 and the Gila River Indian Community to the south. Several participants felt that this was too vast of an area to look at all at once. It turns out that the CPHX team had already acknowledged and planned for this. Starting next week, the study team is hosting a series of seven "geographically based dialogues" throughout its vast study area. These dialogues will take a closer look at regional connectivity, and begin to identify issues and opportunities for a future multimodal transportation framework in each specific area.

The two dialogues session that may be of most interest to DPJ readers are:

Reynolds has hit three homers on his birthday during his four seasons with the Diamondbacks and on Tuesday he hit another one out. Reynolds says that he is just more comfortable on his birthday and has nothing to attribute the coincidence to but his overall mood on his birthday. Unfortunately, Reynolds and the D-backs received a scare when he was hit in the head with a fastball that sent him out for the game. Reynolds played on Wednesday, but skipped Thursday for some time off. Coming up this weekend, the D-backs will face off against the San Diego Padres. The Padres sit in possession of first place in the National League West as they visit Chase Field. Friday night is fireworks night as usual, but there is something extra special going on prior to Saturday's game. Luis Gonzalez will be the first Diamondback to have his number retired on Saturday night, as the team will honor him during a pregame ceremony that afternoon. The first 15,000 fans in attendance will receive commemorative bobbleheads to mark the occasion. Saturday's game begins at 5:10 p.m. Sunday's game has a promotion for the first 5,000 kids ages 12 and younger, who will receive D-backs back-to-school kits in the final game of the D-backs' home stand. The Diamondbacks will depart to Milwaukee to face the Brewers in the beginning part of next week for a four-game series. On a positive note, the Diamondbacks are at .500 for the last 30 games as the team continues to improve amidst all of the recent changes.

[caption id="attachment_9443" align="alignright" width="420" caption="This Igby goes down tasty!"][/caption] I heard through the grapevine that Phoenix Public Market throws some very tasty evening shindigs on Wednesdays, so I hopped on my bike and headed over. Usually these soirees are notably attended by the likes of Short Leash, Truckin' Good Food, Torched Goodness and Chef Wade, who slings some righteous burgers. With that kind of credibility, you would think the sidewalks would be a sea of foodies. The call of the dog was strong this week, and I found an instant classic. The innocent-looking, drawn doggie on the menu looked unassuming enough. At Short Leash, the signature items are named after their dogs and their neighbor’s dogs. Names like Aiko, Moki and Igby definitely catch your eye. A longer glance at the makings of these hot dogs kind of made me scratch my head. With toppings like mango chutney, salsa and blue cheese, these dogs are certainly unique. Also, for those who like other choices, they give you the choice of a bratwurst, an all-beef dog, a veggie dog or a regular dog. I pushed aside any doubts and ordered up an Igby — loaded with sweet barbecue sauce, cole slaw and blue cheese. The southerner in me could not pass up anything with cole slaw. I’m kind of addicted to the stuff. Served up with a smile, my Igby came rolling through the window. I was definitely ready for this new treat. Another unique feature of these hot dogs is that they are served on a warm flatbread instead of a traditional hot dog bun. Incidentally, the flatbread sets these dogs off. The barbecue sauce worked brilliantly with the blue cheese to give this dog some bite. The cole slaw was a perfect topping as always. This dog was seriously delicious. Every bite was succulent and smoked to perfection. I believe that Short Leash’s hot dogs may be kings of the Phoenix hot dog realm. Regardless of what plans you have on Wednesdays or Saturdays, you should make it priority numero uno to vanquish your hunger at Short Leash at Phoenix Public Market. I will be doing just that. The Short Leash Hot Dogs truck pulls up to the Phoenix Public Market at 721 N. Central Ave. (light rail at Roosevelt Station) on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.]]> 9298 0 0 0 3412 http://phoenixurbanliving.net/2010/10/25/115-mobile-food-truck-court-launches-in-phoenix-at-the-phoenix-downtown-public-market/ 0 0 2868 http://twitter.com/PhxDowntowner 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/11/downtown-phoenix-wedding/ Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:52:09 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9315 Going to the chapel and we’re going to get married…

Well, maybe not the chapel; it’s actually a warehouse in Downtown Phoenix, but that works, too! Nowadays the traditional church wedding followed by a reception seems to be a thing of the past. The all-in-one ceremony/reception is becoming increasingly popular, and Downtown Phoenix is clearly adding its own twist with locations certain to set your big day apart from anything else you’ll find in the Valley. [caption id="attachment_9453" align="aligncenter" width="574" caption="The Icehouse"][/caption] With venues like the Icehouse, monOrchid and Bentley Projects, couples looking to add an urban-chic spin on their ceremony are finding what they want in the city core. “We are anything but generic,” says Riëtte Pretorius, a private event coordinator in Downtown Phoenix. “I have had quite a few people in the industry actually choose my venues because they are looking for something different and unique.” While these venues are located within close proximity to one another and offer similar event options, they all provide a different atmosphere. The Icehouse began its operations in 1910 as, ironically enough, an icehouse. In 1990, the building transformed into a center for exhibits, housing new and unique art forms. Today, along with plenty of other uses, the Icehouse converts into an ideal location for a wedding, reception or both. The steel beams and barren walls can be garnished in white fabric and gorgeous flowers, transforming a blank canvas into a fairytale, facilitating up to 300 guests.

[caption id="attachment_9454" align="aligncenter" width="553" caption="Bentley Projects"][/caption] "Many people don't realize the magic that can be created in the Icehouse; you just have to have some creativity," says MaryAnn Ortiz-Lieb, a wedding coordinator who has worked in the Valley for over 20 years. With the same ease the Icehouse undergoes a transformation to the modern, the industrial gallery space know as monOrchid can effortlessly become an ideal wedding site. Accommodating everything from large receptions to intimate sit-down dinners, monOrchid offers stunning décor with a warm industrial feel. Of course, like other venues, monOrchid serves several purposes, hosting musical performances, photo and film shoots and even fashion shows. The space is so versatile, whether you’re looking for a clean minimalist feel or a warm and colorful décor. Bentley Projects, as versatile as monOrchid, is also among the different and architecturally diverse venues in the Warehouse District. The space originally housed a commercial linen laundry company dating back to 1918, and it still recalls a time when this neighborhood was a bustling commercial hub of produce, ice and textile warehouse spaces. Original brickwork and exposed wooden beams are just some of the distinct architectural details. On a more consistent basis, Bentley Projects serves as a gallery featuring contemporary artists, most which are viewable by appointment only. Combine that with the stunning architecture of the 13,000-square-foot warehouse and the possibilities are endless.

[caption id="attachment_9455" align="aligncenter" width="553" caption="monOrchid"][/caption] Those who have planned an event as elaborate as a wedding or are in the midst of it know that there is more than just the venue to take into consideration. One must think of room accommodations for their guests, flowers, food and more. But, in Downtown Phoenix, those concerns are put to rest by top-of-the-line hotels, critically acclaimed food options and countless vendors. To simplify your search, Pretorius has consolidated a list of vendors at downtownphoenixvenues.com ready to assist your ceremony in becoming an urban night to remember. To tour any of these venues and others, contact information is also listed on the website. “Why do the same as everyone else?" Ortiz-Lieb asks. "I love different, and different is definitely in Downtown Phoenix." Bentley Projects is located at 215 E. Grant St. in the Warehouse District. The Icehouse is located at 429 W. Jackson St. in the Warehouse District. monOrchid is located at 214 E. Roosevelt St. in Evans Churchill. ]]> 9315 0 0 0 3487 http://jeanetteleblanc.com/blog 0 0 3217 http://tdhurst.com/inigo-montoya-downtown-phoenix 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/09/weekend-journal-presented-clarendon-hotel/ Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:25:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9411

This standalone cookie factory shone like a beacon of hope for my sweet tooth. [caption id="attachment_9482" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Your new favorite thing."][/caption] When I walked in, I was met with a flair of modern design and sweet scents of epic flavor permeating the air. I knew from the first glance that this was going to be my new favorite place ever. In fact, if I was a student at any of the surrounding high schools, I would stumble through these doors with unabashed regularity. The namesake cookie of this establishment caught my eye first. Consisting of organic layers of dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, oats and coconut, this cookie teems with deliciousness. Yours truly is not normally an advocate of coconut, but this takes exception. The taste was so amazing that I now catch myself unknowingly drawing doodles of this cookie while trying to write this blog. Sheesh. Well, this description is not the end of the story, but the beginning. The geniuses at Urban Cookies offer a deal that you and your palate cannot afford to pass up: an ice cream sandwich made up of two cookies of your choice and a center of rich vanilla bean ice cream, weighing in at the size of a small bowling ball. What is not to love about that? I chose the cookie of the month, vanilla bean and an Urban Cookie to comprise my ice cream sandwich. When this behemoth rolled out, I clearly recall saying, “Welcome to gluttony!” This might be why I have to go some places by myself. As you can imagine, there was no part of this ice cream sandwich that was left uneaten. I devoured the sweet, creamy treat voraciously and I was admittedly a little sad when it was gone. I believe that I have found what a truly epic ice cream sandwich is supposed to taste like. There is no comparison. I fully expect to hear of your adventures into ice cream sandwich utopia soon. My sweet tooth won’t let me ever drive up 7th Street again without a stop at Urban Cookies. Thank goodness.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 07.27.10 Charlie's + 3-4-1 Sundays = F-M-L Mondays In my entire life, this is the only place I've been to that entertains the idea of a 3-4-1 special. Is that even legal under Arizona laws? No wonder there are so many cabs that pull in and out of this place. You could definitely drink comfortably for a great price knowing you're only a step away from a taxi. I also enjoy the drag show they have after the special... at whatever time I usually start putting down my drinks. If my blurry memory serves me right, the deal ends at 7, so the show might start around 8. The people here are pretty friendly, except for the one who stole my three-day-old Jimmy Choo sunglasses. I probably wouldn't have lost them if I was allowed to bring in my purse, though. Thanks, Charlie's! There is also always a volleyball game going on outside in their sand court if you're the sporty type.

For the first time in a while, all eight members are together again and yes, it feels so good. The night before they’re off to record at Chalice Recording Studios in Los Angeles, they get together to practice, have a few beers and catch up. DPJ was lucky enough to be part of the late night festivities. In the kitchen, we talked about their history together, stories from tour days and how the new record is going to be beyond amazing. The Dry River family consists of Freddy Reyes (sax, bass clarinet), Steve Bohn (cello), Henri Benaro (percussion), Kristilyn Woods (bassoon), Megyn Neff (violin), Ryan Probst (guitar), Jordan Robert (French horn) and Garnet (vocals, accordion). This isn't your usual guitar-bass-drums band, but when all these instruments come together, it’s like you’ve found that missing puzzle piece to your music collection. A well-oiled machine, at one time or another the band either played together or worked together and decided to become one band. Dry River started playing open mic nights at Yucca Tap Room in Tempe with a set list of three songs. “We put together an EP, made shirts that we bought at the thrift store and our friend Nate silk-screened them. That’s how we funded our tour,” Woods recalls. You can only imagine the amount of stories that will come out of 10 days in a seven-passenger minivan full of gear on tour together for the first time. “We went out with 100 discs on that tour and sold them all," Benaro says. "Then we were like, ‘Let’s start playing with this band.’” The band came back to town to play its EP release show with no EPs, but no matter. They soon introduced two new bandmates, Neff and Robert. You would think with so many members that they wouldn’t be able to fit on stage, but they surprisingly do... most of the time. “We broke a stage in Austin one time," Reyes reveals. "Jordan and I were scared and we got back on the floor." Three members of the band don’t live in town anymore, yet the band still plays on. They recruit friends to come in and play shows or fill in the bandmates' absence with a heavier influence of the available instruments. As they say, the show must go on. Dry River has played so many places in Arizona that it took five people to remember all of them, from ASU to the Botanical Gardens, and MADCAP Theater to even the light rail. The list goes on and on. “That felt like we were illegal bandits, man. It was cool,” Benaro said of playing the light rail music competition, Train Tracks. As much as their local fan base loves them, they love the local music scene right back. “There’s a very diverse palette,” Bohn says of Phoenix. Dry River has played with bands that aren’t even in their genre, and they feel like in other cities there isn’t much of that going on. “In other cities that I’ve lived in, bands that are in the same genre are always sort of tearing each other down," Woods says. "It’s very cliquey. Here it’s not like that at all. You’re excited when your friend’s band has a good show or wins a competition or gets to play a big festival.” Speaking of big festivals, Dry River will be playing a festival coming in Page next month, Powellapalooza. Yes, Arizona’s very own Coachella! And, definitely keep an eye out early next year for a CD release party. “We’ve been giving out free champagne in the past," Reyes says of CD release shows. "We just get as many people there as possible. You get a free disc when you get in... who knows about the free booze, but we’re gonna have a lot of fun.” If you want to hear Dry River sooner, they are playing Monday, August 16 at 7:30 p.m. at The Rhythm Room (1019 E. Indian School Rd.) with These United States and Or the Whale. Tickets are $10. ]]> 9458 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/13/dbacks-digest-gonzo-honored-cancer-clubhouse-removed/ Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:47:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9467 The team clearly seems to be having more fun on the field, which always helps when winning. Taking both series in the past week should not be downplayed at all, considering the fact that the team faced a wild card contender and a National League leader last week. With pitching again being the story, run support behind pitches for strikes had helped the Diamondbacks immensely during the past week.

[caption id="attachment_9471" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Luis Gonzalez's #20 was retired last weekend."][/caption] The week began with a series against the National League West-leading San Diego Padres, and the D-backs brought their A-game. The team won two of three by a narrow margin, holding the Padres at bay. On Saturday, former outfielder Luis Gonzalez was honored, becoming the first Diamondback in the team's history to have his number retired. The pregame ceremony was as memorable as the line to get into Chase Field, giving the D-backs their first sell-out crowd since Opening Day. After the pregame ceremony, as the D-backs took the field, Gonzo ran with the team for what may very well be the last time in his career. Gonzalez serves in a management capacity in the Diamondbacks' front office, and should be with the organization for a very long time to come. The D-backs went on to win that game, but lost a stinker on Sunday before heading to Milwaukee, where they nearly swept the Wild Card-contending Brewers. During the stellar week, Stephen Drew earned his 250th RBI in his 600th game, becoming part of an elite group of D-backs, and being the quickest to do so. Chris Young also had an accomplishment of his own, as he became the first player in the Major Leagues in 2010 to become a 20-20 man with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. After struggling against the Washington Nationals, the D-backs will get another chance to face the team, as they begin the weekend in our nation's capital. After the series, the team will return home to Chase Field for a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 07.14.10 It looked like shrimp and it tasted like shrimp, but it wasn't shrimp. It looked like chicken and it tasted like chicken, but it wasn't chicken. It was all tofu and 100% vegan and it was all amazingly great. Even Amy's mock pork was surprisingly very pork like and I love pork. You see, I love meat and it's very seldom that I go a day without meat in any given deal. However, this full "mock" meat experience was pretty cool and enlightening. Not only was the lil establishment very clean, but the owner was also super cool and informative. Although I don't see myself converting to full veganism anytime soon, I'll definitely be back to try a few more vegan-mock meat dishes. Boba Juice is also my new go to place for a much-needed icy cold smoothie with boba of course. I've tried a few variations, and my favorite is the taro/coconut smoothie, add boba.

Stephen Chilton, an Arizona native, has been promoting shows for a decade, and has showcased so many bands that Coachella might even be jealous. Every promoter has to start with what they’re familiar with, so Chilton started his promotion career with friends’ bands. [caption id="attachment_9507" align="alignright" width="358" caption="You can find Psyko Steve at neighborhood venues like the Rhythm Room, the Trunk Space and Hard Rock Café. Photo by Maria Vassett."][/caption] “Really, it just started by helping bands in high school,” Chilton recalls. “I kind of just fell into it.” And that’s when Psyko Steve was born. “It was just a dumb nickname in high school and it stuck," Chilton says of his "psyko" moniker, as easygoing as ever. "There’s no cool story about it.” Chilton grew up in the East Valley, and hit his stride in 2000, when he started promoting. Back then, the Nile Theater in Mesa was still going strong, but a new venue was on its way up in Downtown Phoenix. The venue? Modified Arts. Chilton started booking shows there with bands like Before Braille, Fight Shy and others. “Modified was just the small place that everyone could do anything,” Chilton says. “It was kind of the perfect place to do that stuff.” For nearly a decade, Chilton and Modified had a close relationship to say the least. Before being converted into a gallery space late last year, Chilton put together Modified's last shows, including a surprise Jimmy Eat World show. “To see a band of that caliber in Modified was crazy,” Chilton says of the multi-platinum Mesa band. Jimmy Eat World wanted to grace the iconic Downtown stage before its conversion, and no one knew about the show until the day of. When word of mouth hit everyone’s ears, the show was pushed far beyond capacity. “We had to turn away more than 1,000 people,” Chilton recalls. So much for it being a secret. Psyko Steve has promoted countless up-and-coming bands before they found their way to thousands of iPods. Cold War Kids, All-American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack and Thrice have all visited Arizona in conjunction with Psyko Steve Presents. Chilton also deserves the credit for being a stepping stone for local bands like Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Greeley Estates, Miniature Tigers and Dear and the Headlights. But Chilton isn’t the kind of guy to demand credit. It seems like he’s doing his civil duty by helping bring a band from nothing to something. And he always likes to bring the attention back to his home state. He planted an Arizona seed at South by Southwest by putting on the showcase called “I Heart AZ” featuring only Phoenix bands like Kinch, Dear and the Headlights, Miniature Tigers and What Laura Says. The showcase attracted about 2,000 attendees. “One of the things I like about Phoenix is that there are all types of different bands that are doing well,” Chilton says. “There isn’t one sound that is a Phoenix sound.” Phoenix bands have grown so much throughout the past 10 years, and the scene has definitely progressed toward Downtown Phoenix. Chilton, who lives in Garfield, aims to promote Downtown as much as possible, and regularly books shows at Downtown spots. Last year, he put on nearly 100 shows, and this year he thinks he’s on his way to the same. Be on the lookout for Psyko Steve Presents shows around Downtown and beyond!]]> 9503 0 0 0 3108 http://www.facebook.com/newzzero 0 199 2932 0 0 2930 http://www.azpwithdrawal.com 0 0 3319 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 0 169 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/19/dbacks-digest-slump/ Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:32:40 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9516 [/caption] After a wonderful week prior, the Arizona Diamondbacks reverted to their struggling ways this past week, losing five of their last six games.

Special events this weekend include fireworks on Friday night, a special replica of the D-backs' new spring training facility to the first 15,000 fans to Saturday's game and a back-to-school backpack to the first 5,000 kids 12 and younger on Sunday.

[caption id="attachment_9528" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="The Health & Wealth Raffle grand prize: One Lexington's penthouse model unit"][/caption] "I couldn't be more excited to feature this as a grand prize," says Kathy Rice, Executive Director of the Health & Wealth Raffle. "It's just minutes away from everything Downtown has to offer, and it's right on the light rail. The penthouse features 180º views of absolute luxury. It's a departure from what we have done in previous raffles, but it fit this project to a T." Valued at $1 million, the unit is decked to the nines at three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, with massive walk-in closets, top-of-the-line Viking appliances, walnut floors, Italian cabinetry, a walk-in master shower, a bar, an oversized kitchen island, temperature-controlled wine storage, a roomy loft-style office space and much more. And, of course, there are the views, courtesy of 24-foot floor-to-ceiling windows. The unit comes fully furnished, allowing the winner to literally turn the key and enter a ready-made chic urban home that simply has no duplicate in Phoenix. Rice could not be happier with the buzz thus far for the grand prize, adding that it has brought a new group of buyers that previous raffles have not seen. "I look for the type of prizes that will make someone say, 'Wow,'" Rice explains. "It definitely is a 'Wow.' I can hardly wait to see who is going to be on the other end of that phone call when I tell them they are the winner of the grand prize. I have a feeling there will be a lot of tears involved."

[caption id="attachment_9529" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Patio view"][/caption] The grand prize winner may also elect to take $1 million in cash. In all, the raffle offers more than 4,300 prizes. All tickets cost $100 (or three for $250), and must be purchased in Arizona. The final raffle drawing is Thursday, September 30, with an entry cut-off at midnight on September 23. An early bird drawing offering a Lexus convertible and $14,000 cash or a seven-night Caribbean cruise and cash will take place on Thursday, September 9. One Lexington offers five more penthouses for sale, starting at $475,000. Sizes vary, starting at 1,653 square feet.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 07.12.10 As far as I know, I'm the only person in this town that has a dish named after them. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right. I mean, I'm always right. By now, if you read my reviews, you know that I am vegan and I don't eat gluten. This makes dining out quite an issue at times, especially for breakfast/brunch. I really wanted to hit up The Vig Uptown for brunch because I like it as a happy hour spot, the space is incredible, it is within a bike ride from my house, and I love the Original Vig, but alas, there was nothing on the menu to accommodate me. I gently mentioned in person and a few times on Facebook that having some sort of tofu scrambler would really improve their menu. They listened. They created. They named. (after me!!!) We stopped by for brunch this past Sunday for the dish's debut, and got a personal hello from Tucker. He was excited because they had already sold TEN AMber Scramblers that morning and it isn't even officially on the menu yet! I'm already a star! So, whats the verdict on the AMber Scrambler? Amazing. Seriously. The thing that really sets this apart from other scrambler dishes is sun dried tomatoes. They bring such a delicious flavor! It certainly doesn't hurt that it comes with their signature guac and a side of pico. I'll be here every weekend for the delicious dish and the $5 fresh squeezed mimosas! If you know whats good for you, you will, too.

Once the craving for Sens hits you, you become powerless against it. So, I apologize in advance for what I’m about to do to you. I answered the call of the Sens craving by biking the few blocks from my house to my own personal land of deliciousness. As I approached, the wondrous smells that filled the night air were ever so seductive. I walked through the frosted doors in a trance of hunger and desire. It could have partially been because the DJ was spinning trance beats in the corner. I don't know. One of the beauties of going to Sens is, being a tapas restaurant, they serve small portions, so that you don’t have to just settle on one thing, you can try them all. Despite my piqued hunger, I was willing to hear the specials of the evening. I’m always game for an adventure or to try something new. The waitress kindly offered up the four latest suggestions and, while they all sounded scrumptious, my ears landed on the description of the Hong Kong Soy Chicken — a roasted half-chicken that is seasoned with Asian five spice and flash fried, leaving a crispy, salty skin and a tender meat. Simple sounding, but amazing nonetheless. The special came out last, after a barrage of deliciousness, so I knew that it had to stand out above the rest. At first glance, it is a stack of gleaming, saucy righteousness. This dish is seriously piled high as anything I have ever seen at a tapas restaurant. Now, it was up to me to see if it lived up to the hype that my eyes were creating for it. Diving in with reckless abandon, as per usual, I immediately realized that this was some succulent and juicy chicken. The Asian five spice was potent and amazing. Coupled with red chile and garlicky wasabi sauces for dipping, this was easily the stand-out dish of the night. I suppose you can’t go wrong with chicken. Crispy, juicy chicken — even better. Hopefully, you have heard of the utopia of dining that is Sens. It is truly a harmonious place to go if you are looking for amazing food, a chill environment and a chance to share with your friends. Those are all the reasons I go. And now I go for the Hong Kong Soy Chicken. Special thanks to Chanelle Richardson on this post! Sens is located at 705 N. 1st St in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station) — 602.340.9777.]]> 9541 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/25/fresh-market-agua-fresca-sale-thursday/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:54:15 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9549

The sugar-acquiring prowess my palate holds is nearly unmatched. Thus, I was led abruptly to a sweet spot right in my back yard (well, sort of): Rainbow Donuts. My adventure was initially a quest to branch out from my normal beverage consumption and partake in boba – which would have been a big step for your favorite Southern gent. Unfortunately, Rainbow was out of boba, but the dreamy concoctions and fresh sweets they are famous for were still well within reach. After weeping softly in their orange booth over boba, my spirits were lifted at the realization that, perched behind the rounded glass next to some ramen and Ring Pops, sat a treasure trove of donut goodness. My heart leapt at the thought of the delicacies that I could select. With a raging thirst, I ordered the strawberry smoothie from the photograph on the wall. On deck, impatiently waiting, was my hunger. My taste buds have never known of the words "restraint" or "overindulgence." Therefore, no donut counter can be passed without at least a regular glazed being ordered. My willpower was useless in this place anyway, and I gladly salivated over the prospect of a trademark glazed donut in my possession. With a smile, I was handed my freshly made treats. I was barely seated before I was mowing down each of my prizes. The donut was extremely dense, cushion-soft and sweet. It was a dinner all its own. As for the sweet smoothie, it stood out as one of the best I have had the pleasure of sippin’. Needless to say, with a bevy of sweet strawberry and milky flavors, I was in smoothie heaven. I’m fairly confident that a choir sang during this indulgent snack. So, Rainbow Donuts is worthy of your attention. It just might leave your taste buds in a harmonious mood. Rainbow Donuts is located at 1347 E. McDowell Rd. in Coronado — 602.256.7404]]> 9543 0 0 0 3000 0 0 3004 http://www.bumpdesignz.com 3000 132 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/08/30/downtown-phoenix-vitality-weekly-events/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:04:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9561 1.

Daniel Walker, Jason Davis, Zachary Dilday and Ben Hayson make up Archeology, but only two of them have an actual love for archeology. “Sometimes, we just go onto the desert and hike around,” Walker says. “We drag the other guys along and they say they like it, but I can tell that they don’t.” During an archaeology dig, Walker and Davis met and began talking. Shortly after, the two were playing in a band together. In 2009, they began writing and playing a lot, but by the end of the year, the band felt like they needed some change. “The music we were playing then… felt really forced,” Walker remembers. Walker and Davis, both brought up in Evangelical backgrounds, soon spun off and started Archeology. “I was raised in church,” Walker says. “My dad was the pastor from when I could remember. In my early 20s, I just kinda sat back and reconsidered about what I was taught.” For all the questions they never got answers to, they wrote it out in lyrics. That’s where Memorial, their first full-length album, was born and was released earlier this year. And that’s how Archeology was quickly mistaken for a Christian band. “We got a lot of e-mails from this album saying, ‘I don’t know if I could write on this Christian band.’ and I was like, ‘Whoa, we’re not a Christian band,’” Walker recalls. In April, they did a quick West Coast tour, and now they’re embarking on their first national tour supporting Memorial. The tour has been quite a journey for the band. They left Portland thinking a van with no air conditioning would be OK until they hit that blistering summertime heat. “As soon as we hit Vegas and got over to the Midwest, it was like hell,” Walker says. “We’ve gotten use to the heat really quickly. I think we’ll be tougher for it.” The band has mostly been accepted with open arms on their tour, except for a stop in Charlotte, NC. The band pulled into a campground at around 4 a.m., exhausted and a little tipsy, just wanting a couple hours of sleep. (Mind you, the park closed at 10 p.m., but they thought it’d be OK and smart to rest for a while.) An hour later, Hayson was woken by an officer. The band was detained and surrounded by a park ranger and two more police officers. “They told us to go to the church parking lot to sleep,” Walker says. The officers were puzzled on why the band would sleep at a campground when there was a perfectly good parking lot down the road. Because nothing screams comfortable like asphalt. Other than that, the tour has gone well for Archeology. “We’ve been stranded a few times,” Walker says. “The van has been picky on when it wants to go. We are a good 5,000 miles over for an oil change.” The band likes playing in and visiting Arizona. Walker loves going out and exploring what our desert landscape has to offer. “It’s the Indiana Jones in me from my childhood,” he says.]]> 9567 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/03/downtown-phoenix-vitality-monthly-events/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:16:19 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9570 The true mark of a vibrant urban core isn’t the popularity of special events like ball games, conventions or even First Fridays. Rather it is the events that fill in the gaps in between these. It is the creation of a 24/7 culture where things are going on every day (and night) of the week. While I wouldn't say that we have quire arrived there, we are a lot closer that it may appear. In addition to the many events that occur at least once a week, there are also several monthly events going on around Downtown Phoenix. Taken together, these events should provide ample opportunity to get out, meet new people and become active players in a vibrant downtown community. Here are 10 events to get you started: 1. Torch Theater drop-in Free drop-in workshops on the first Tuesday of every month. No need to register, just come and get a free intro to improv. 2. Anti-Art School A costumed/themed drawing workshop every second Tuesday of the month, from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Lost Leaf. 3. Marshall Shore: Retro Spectacular “Romp through Arizona history with stories and images” the second Thursday of every month at Phoenix Metro Retro. 4. Smunch Phoenix A Saturday morning gathering of brunch-loving people. It’s not an exclusive club of snobbish foodies, rather a group of people who like to get together and share a great brunch with new and old friends. Smunch almost always takes place on the second Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m. 5. Craft night at Butter Toast Boutique This vintage boutique gets creative on second Saturdays from 5 to 8 p.m. 6. Get Your PHX The goal of Get Your PHX is to support those who pioneer new restaurants, stores, bars and event spaces and to provide a chance for you to meet others like you, who want to get the most out of Phoenix. It takes place on the next-to-last Thursday of every month at various locations in and around Downtown. 7. Places, Spaces & Faces A potluck-style community dinner celebrating great buildings and amazing people in Central Phoenix on the third Saturday evening of every month. 8. Downtown Phoenix Book Group Switching off monthly between fiction and non-fiction on the fourth Wednesday of every month at MADE art boutique. 9. RadiatePHX A community networking group of people who care about place making, design, community building and our vital urban core on the last Tuesday of every month at various at various locations in and around Downtown. (Disclaimer: RadiatePHX is an initiative of Urban Affair, publisher of DPJ.) 10. Critical Mass A bicycle celebration ride to raise awareness about bicyclists on the road and cars sharing the road on the last Friday of each month. The starting point is Steel Indian School Park, near the Indian School Road and 3rd Street entrance. Once again, I'm sure that I am missing a lot of other events that occur on a monthly basis in and around Downtown.

[caption id="attachment_9590" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="When the weather cools down, Bliss will seamlessly meld indoor with outdoor."][/caption]

The Bliss/reBar approach

Co-owners Mark Howard, Jackson Kelly and Kevin Kelly had been looking for a place Downtown for nearly two years, and were pleasantly surprised when the buildings on 4th and Garfield streets unexpectedly became available this past spring. Right away, they knew their collective ideas could work in the location. "We feel that the concepts [in this space] before were very challenging for Downtown Phoenix," Howard says. "They were for more of a north Scottsdale crowd. This is Downtown, and it needs something more comfortable, affordable and accessible. That's what we aimed to create." [caption id="attachment_9589" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="An open kitchen adds to the welcoming feel inside Bliss."][/caption] The cuisine fits the above description well. Comfort classics like nachos (adorned with heaps of juicy braised beef) and mac 'n' cheese (packed with chicken and bacon) are given a unique spin. Executive Chef John Cook, who is playing double duty at Bliss and at Fez, another of Howard's restaurants, liked the challenge of recreating American staples with a Bliss twist. "He is incredibly talented with food," Howard beams. "He took our ideas and started crafting a menu that really fit this space and this neighborhood — it needs to be affordable and friendly. We call it 'home on a plate.'"

More than just a Downtown watering hole

The luxury of creating a standalone bar that meshes perfectly with the restaurant excited Howard, Kelly and Kelly. They have crafted a menu of affordable wines by the glass and bottle and select beers that fit the space. The specialty drinks have the same pizazz as those at Fez or Ticoz, while the "naked drinks," potent, tasty, guilt-free concoctions, give drinkers more healthful choices. "We wanted a space that had a great restaurant and a great bar," Howard admits. "Fez has those together, and it works really well there, but in this instance, we wanted to have a bar that could stand on its own."

[caption id="attachment_9588" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="reBar (foreground) combines casual and chic in its indoor-outdoor space."][/caption] reBar's hours are situated around Bliss' serving schedule, so they'll be open for lunch and weekend brunch. Bliss and reBar even defy the Downtown norm of silent Sundays and/or Mondays. Both are open seven days a week until midnight or later, including last-call pours on Fridays and Saturdays. "If it's a busy night on a Wednesday after the restaurant closes [at midnight], we'll keep the bar open until 2 a.m.," Howard confirms.

Becoming part of the neighborhood

The turnaround was incredibly quick. Howard says the Bliss building and kitchen were basically ready to go upon move-in. They spent two months touching up and finishing the reBar building as well as making some changes to the layout of the patio area. Proper usage of space has always been a reconfigured challenge at these buildings (we are, after all, dealing with turn-of-the-century bungalows, not warehouses). Yet Bliss will comfortably seat 110 for dinner in the main restaurant and patio spaces, while reBar has a surprising amount of seating indoors, plus the iconic patio bar that overlooks the city skyline. [caption id="attachment_9591" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="A hit at Fate and Nine|05, the outdoor bar tradition will continue at reBar."][/caption] Parking in this Evans Churchill neighborhood can be difficult during peak times, and since the two buildings butt up to an alley, there is no surface lot for customers. At Nine|05 and Fate, customers parked on the street, sometimes going round and round in circles trying to avoid metered spots. Bliss and reBar are eliminating the head spinning all together, leasing a few different lots off of Roosevelt Street to gravel over for parking, which will be available shortly. For now, Bliss and reBar will draw you in with Ketel One Luscious Lemonades and Mama's Pot Roast Dinner, but stop by this opening weekend for a look and "Bliss Boxes," $5 late-night, self-serve pub snacks that perfectly cap off a busy week.

I can’t say that this was my first rodeo when it comes to eating at Five Guys, so it is hard to contain my joy that they are finally in Downtown Phoenix. When you first walk into their peanut-filled dining room, you realize that this place is a little bit of old school burger culture. You will also notice that nearly every remaining print publication from coast to coast speaks highly of the affordable Five Guys cuisine. With all that said, my order was extremely easy to make. To further this blog’s gluttony streak, I ordered a cheeseburger Five Guys style — lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, A1, ketchup, mustard, mayo — and some Cajun fries. I was reminded immediately how legit this place was when, upon stating my order, the cashier shouted back to the cooks, “One patty!” I have always been of the school of thought that if they don’t shout my order to the kitchen, then it is probably not going to be an amazing burger. Shouting and sweet grilling magic seemingly go hand in hand. So, once they slid my freshly grilled burger to me, I knew that my hunger would be totally vanquished. Having dug my burger out from a sack full of fries, I ravenously dove in. Flavorful and juicy with a mountain of toppings, this is a seriously scrumptious patty. The burgers are seasoned and cooked to perfection. Once you are even just a few bites in, you realize that whatever hype is attributed to them is for real. Dadgum delicious! The Cajun fries are a must-eat like the burger. They seemingly ignite with flavor with each bite. Also, it helps that Five Guys is not at all shy about giving you healthy portions, no matter what size you order. I fully expect to see all of you milling around CityScape as it continues to grow. With Five Guys Burgers and Fries now open, I have a very good reason to hang out there every day. Fortunately for my growing bum, the gym is just across the street. Five Guys Burgers and Fries is now open in CityScape at the corner of 1st Avenue and Washington Street (light rail stations at Central/Washington and 1st Ave/Jefferson) — 602.687.7575]]> 9612 0 0 0 3130 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/01/fresh-market-vote-favorite-food-truck/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:18:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9617

With a name like The Constellation Branch, it's hard to guess what kind of sound the listener should expect. The Phoenix-based band has just finished recording and making its new EP, Mirage, which is set to release September 17. Yet compared to its previous full-length, The Dream Life, The Real Life, The Empty Glass…, the band has gone in unexpected directions. For example, Downtown folk songstress Country Marie Andrews is screaming at the top of her lungs on the EP's finale. “It’s not a concept like the first album was,” vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Jordan Cruz says of Mirage. “It’s really diverse. The first song is instrumental and ambient, but then it leads to dancier stuff.” Cruz likens the theme and lyrics of this album to a mirage. “Something in your life that you believed was something for so long, but then realize it’s nothing like what you had planned it to be,” Cruz reveals. Although The Constellation Branch — Cruz, Bryce Hill (guitar, keyboard), Aaron Motley (bass) and Stephen O’Sicky (drums) — is just now getting its name out, the band has been around the Valley for quite some time. They debuted in 2006 with only Cruz and Hill, and Motley and O'Sicky came on a year later. The result is a sound that is a dark indie experimental combination along the lines of math rock like At the Drive-In, yet the keyboard adds softness to the mix. Over the years, The Constellation Branch has played at places like the Modified Arts, The Trunk Space, The Rhythm Room and Yucca Tap Room, but they’ve had their fair share on the road as well. They have traveled all over the West Coast and played at South By Southwest, but never got the opportunity to play a highly sought-after showcase at the festival. “The people we did meet were all fantastic, and we did gain new fans and made some really great contacts,” Hill says of SXSW. “But in the end, I am not sure we would play again unless we were playing an official showcase.” As with many other bands, The Constellation Branch hit a speed bump on the way home. “We were pulled over for speeding," Hill recalls. "Apparently it’s a crime to drive 65 at night in Texas." The police ended up searching the van and came back empty-handed, except for O'Sicky. “The most memorable quote would have to be when the cop was searching Steve and he found his drum key in his pocket,” Hill says. “The officer pulled it out and said, “What’s this? Some sort of cocaine separating device?” Police must find some interesting paraphernalia in Texas… Back in Arizona, the band has signed a digital distribution deal with Downtown-based River Jones Music. They'll stay busy in September, playing at Holga’s on First Friday at around 9:30 p.m., before embarking on a brief California tour to promote Mirage. They'll be back in Arizona in time for their EP release show with Small Leaks Sink Ships at the Sail Inn in Tempe on September 17. Want to check out The Constellation Branch on First Friday? Holga's is located at 821 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station).]]> 9622 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/02/dpj-yelper-week-christine-downtown-phoenix-dental/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:12:20 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9628 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between. Every week, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Christine O. Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 06.04.10 I first learned about Downtown Phoenix Dental when Dr. Berschler promoted his grand opening on Yelp with an open house posted in the Events section. I was highly impressed by his good (and not overly promotional) use of the Yelp resources. (Note to other business owners: You don't have to aggressively solicit positive reviews or have your friends write fake ones to get the positive attention of the Yelp community.) I recently started working Downtown, so when it came time for my June dentist appointment, I decided to contact Dr. Ben for an appointment. (I had also had a few negative experiences at Center Care Dental and was already looking for a new provider.) I was more than happy with my first appointment. The clean, modern office was just a few blocks away from my office, so I was able to walk. The front desk staffer was really nice, but my hygienist, Heather, was truly a gem. Super nice and approachable, she was also very knowledgeable about all things teeth. Best of all, she delivered her advice and suggestions without being judgmental or rude. She also was very skilled at doing a deep cleaning while still being gentle (I have very sensitive gums). The digital X-rays were also a huge plus. Dr. Berschler was also great in the brief time I spent with him. I liked his down-to-earth attitude and lack of pretension. I will definitely return here for my future cleanings. Downtown Phoenix Dental is located at 111 W. Monroe St., Ste. 131 in the Downtown District (light rail at Central Station) — 602.626.7952 The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business. Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!]]> 9628 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/02/dback-digest-late-season-happenings/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:12:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9632 [/caption] This past week was a hot one for the D-backs, as the temperatures cooled down in Phoenix (OK, slightly cooled down). The team played solid baseball, winning five of their last six against some pretty demanding opponents. In the first series against the Giants, San Francisco was at risk of being swept at home by the Snakes, who put up some excellent offensive numbers. The highlight of that series was Barry Enright throwing a shutout against the Giants' perennial Cy Young award winner, Tim Lincecum. After blanking the Giants, the D-backs drove in 11 runs the following day before losing a close one at the end of the series. Arizona returned home to face the National League West-leading San Diego Padres in what promised to be a challenging series. Apparently the D-backs did not get the memo, as they made quick work of the Padres by successfully sweeping them in the three-game series. The most significant contribution of the series was that of Brandon Allen, who was called up from the minors again for the end of this season, and helped the Diamondbacks complete a stellar come-from-behind victory. Allen hit his first grand slam to seal the Padres' fate. In addition to the winning stint, there was plenty going on off the field, when Justin Upton's shoulder became a concern earlier this week. The D-backs called up two left-handed pitchers, Mike Hampton and Zach Kroenke, from Triple-A Reno. Rookie pitcher Daniel Hudson won co-honors for the Rookie of the Month for his pitching prowess. (Hudson arrived in Arizona as a result of the Edwin Jackson trade earlier this season.) Additionally, a rehabilitation update was given for Brandon Webb, whose future with the team is questionable as his contract nears its end this season. There is a lot going on for the Diamondbacks, who already seem to be retooling for the 2011 season. This week, the D-backs will face the Astros and the Giants at home. This weekend's promotions include a Miguel Montero bobble head giveaway to the first 15,000 fans on Saturday against the Astros and a Mark Reynolds growth chart that will be given to the first 5,000 kids ages 12 and under. Finally, on Wednesday against the Giants, it will be Roberto Clemente recognition day as the D-backs wrap up their home stand.

Available free at cronkitenewsonline.com, Cronkite News offers original news, feature and investigative packages combining student-produced, professionally edited video and text reports as well as photography and multimedia elements. “This is an unprecedented endeavor,” said Christopher Callahan, dean of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. “Cronkite News will be the deepest and richest university-generated journalism content produced on a daily basis for a statewide audience anywhere.” Callahan added that while Cronkite News is an “extraordinary and unique” learning opportunity for students, it also provides “a very real service to citizens across our state who want in-depth news and information about the most important issues facing Arizona.” Cronkite News draws on the strengths of full-immersion professional programs at the Cronkite School, including:

• Cronkite NewsWatch, the school’s award-winning 30-minute nightly newscast and the largest student-produced newscast in the world. Airing four live newscasts each week, NewsWatch is available to more than 1 million Arizonans nightly via Eight World 8.3, a digital channel of Eight, Arizona’s PBS station.

• Cronkite News Service, in which journalists produce daily news stories along with features, enterprise and investigative packages for daily and weekly newspapers, broadcast outlets and news websites statewide.

Cronkite News also incorporates special reports by journalists in the national Carnegie-Knight News21 program, which is based at the Cronkite School; AZ Fact Check, a partnership of Cronkite, The Arizona Republic, azcentral.com and 12 News; and the Southwest Borderlands Initiative, which looks in depth at transnational issues affecting those on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. President Michael M. Crow said Cronkite News is the latest example of a new and impactful ASU program embracing central themes of his vision of the New American University: hands-on learning, problem-solving, innovation and deep community and regional engagement. “At a time when our state and nation face enormous challenges, the political debate has become polarized and reduced to sound bites and accusations, in part because of the changing nature of the national news media,” Crow said. “Cronkite News will perform a vitally important public service by both focusing on key issues and covering them with comprehensive and unbiased reporting.” Cronkite News, including the text and broadcast reports and full TV newscasts, will soon be available in a mobile version suitable for iPhones and other smart phones. And visitors can engage with Cronkite News via Twitter (twitter.com/cronkitenews) and Facebook (facebook.com/cronkitenewsonline). Cronkite News is directed by Steve Elliott, a former Associated Press Phoenix bureau chief and AP executive who helped launch Cronkite News Service when he joined ASU in 2006. “Experiences such as Cronkite NewsWatch and Cronkite News Service offer unparalleled opportunities for students to improve their journalism skills and report stories that wouldn’t be told otherwise,” Elliott said. “Bringing the work of our professional programs together with Cronkite News creates a rich multimedia news report for the people of Arizona.” Assistant Dean Mark Lodato directs the school’s TV news operations and will oversee the many video elements of Cronkite News. "In a time when most newsrooms are getting smaller, we're able to send our reporters across Arizona to cover stories that have statewide impact," Lodato said. "This new site will allow instant access to our rich video content." The Cronkite School, named in honor of the late CBS Evening News anchor, has enjoyed unprecedented growth since Crow made it an independent school in 2005. During the past five years, Cronkite moved into its $71 million state-of-the-art digital media complex in downtown Phoenix and added new programs such as Carnegie-Knight News21, the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism, the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship, Cronkite News Service, the New Media Innovation Lab, ABC News on Campus, the Azcentral.com Multimedia Reporting Program, Cronkite NewsWatch, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, and the Hubert H. Humphrey fellowship program for international journalists. The school also has doubled its faculty and staff, adding national journalism leaders such as former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr., former CNN anchor Aaron Brown, former Minneapolis Star Tribune Editor Tim McGuire, former BET Vice President Retha Hill, former Sacramento Bee Executive Editor Rick Rodriguez and digital media leader Dan Gillmor. Over the same period, Cronkite students have dominated national journalism competitions. Cronkite students have finished first or second nationally in the Hearst Journalism Awards in four of the past five years, and have finished first in the Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence competition for five consecutive years. The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is located on ASU's Downtown campus at 555 N.

Offering an eclectic menu of comfort foods at Bliss and an extensive list of spirits at reBar, this is definitely a must-frequent destination. With all of that in mind, I set out this week to be comforted by some new cuisine. As I strolled up Garfield Street, I heard the familiar sound of pulsating bass beats rifling through the night air — a sign of life on a corner that had been depressingly dark for a while. Gladly, I walked up to the still familiar settings and proceeded to take it all in. I love when new restaurants come down here. It’s good for soul. The menu lists some delicious-sounding items. With everything from tacos to pot roast, the selection seemingly covered the gamut of culinary consolation. If I was ever needing to indulge on some ravioli to ease my sorrows, it’s good to know they are able to offer it up. I settled on the braised beef nachos and reveled in the glow of my forthcoming gluttony. The food arrived quickly and somewhat interrupted my daydream about what menu item I would like to cheer me up next time. The pile of nachos looked glorious indeed. Layers of tender braised beef, red cabbage, green peppers, nacho cheese and golden tortilla chips made this a lovely sight. I might have teared up a little bit. Diving in, I was immediately surprised by the shredded beef. Nachos are already one of my I’m-down-in-the-dumps-this-will-make-me-feel-better foods, but these were set apart by the beefiness. The literal size the plate, coupled with the bevy of flavors rolling around in my palate, made for an excellent, well, blissful dish. Join me in welcoming the latest sensation to Downtown. Now that Bliss is here, I feel better already. Bliss and reBar are located at 901 N. 4th St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Central Station) — 602.795.1792]]> 9661 0 0 0 3072 http://www.phxrailfood.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/08/make-scene-sea-wolf/ Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:40:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9669

[caption id="attachment_9685" align="aligncenter" width="614" caption="Photo by Mia Kirby"][/caption] Sea Wolf's Alex Brown Church has been a busy man for the past year. In fact, he has only been home in LA this past summer, and he is already jumping back onto the road for a solo acoustic tour. The Sea Wolf following is growing, whether it be from touring with French indie rockers Phoenix, or landing a coveted spot on last year’s New Moon soundtrack. But the growth has been steady from humble beginnings. Church attended film school at NYU before even trying out music. “I was in LA for about a week right out of film school," Church recalls. "There were two things I wanted to do: One was start a band, and the other was work in the film industry and see if I liked it.” Within the first week of working in the film industry, Church found members that would soon form his first band. “I realized that music was something I felt a stronger connection to,” Church says. Soon after his first band, he created Sea Wolf, named after the Jack London novel. If you love Bright Eyes and M. Ward, Sea Wolf is definitely your cup of tea. Like Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and M. Ward, Church has lyrics that paint a picture for you, but in Sea Wolf’s case, it feels as if you are looking through a lens. His words are full of imagery, a dramatic story and a script you wish would never end. Sea Wolf released a sophomore album, White Water, White Bloom, in September 2009. Church describes the sound as a “folk/pop-rock extravaganza.” “It’s more dynamic than the first record," Church says. "There are sort of peaks and valleys as always with whatever I do, but for the most part, there are more drums on this record.” Church spent a lot of time in Montréal during the making of the White Water, which he admits had a huge impact on the imagery of the record. But just because Church was in a state of writing, doesn’t mean writer’s block didn’t happen. “All the time," he laughs. "I constantly have writer’s block, and then every once and a while, a song pops out. I have no idea how it happened and then I have writer’s block until the next one.” A month after releasing White Water, Sea Wolf was on every teenage girl’s iPod with the release of the New Moon soundtrack. Yes, that vampire movie that everyone has been talking about. However, compared to his other songs, Church doesn’t feel that special connection with “Violet Hour.” “Every single song I’ve ever written is just for me, where as for 'Violet Hour' I wrote with the movie in mind,” Church confesses. “It didn’t come from the same place as the rest of my songs, which is perhaps why I haven’t really played it.” Songs that are permanently among Sea Wolf’s set list are “Black Dirt” and “You’re a Wolf.” “'You’re a Wolf' is one of my favorite songs," Church says. "To me, that’s kind of the Sea Wolf anthem, so I love playing that song.” Although he’s been playing some of these songs for years, Church still has brain farts on stage. “Every single show I forget lyrics... I’m kind of notorious for that,” Church says. “When I’m singing the song I’m like, ‘Which one is this again?’ and then by doing that I forget entirely.” While playing a homecoming show earlier this year, forgetting lyrics was the last thing Church had to worry about. The show was at the Autry Museum of Western History in LA's Griffith Park, which had never held a concert before. The stage was so small that only the drums could fit, so that meant the band had to play right in front of the crowd. “It was strange singing like 2 feet away from people who were just standing there staring at you,” Church says. There was also a problem of being able to see the crowd at all. “During that show, the power blew out like two or three times completely and we had to stop and wait for the power to come on,” Church says. “I had to yell out to the crowd to keep them entertained.” Don’t worry though, Sea Wolf won’t have to work to keep you entertained at the show tomorrow. Church will play a solo acoustic show at The Rhythm Room with Patrick Park and Sera Cahoone. And Church admits that he doesn't know when he'll do another solo acoustic tour, so this is a chance you won’t want to miss! The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E. Indian School Rd. in Midtown. Doors are at 7 p.m., and tickets are $13 online or at the door.]]> 9669 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/08/downtown-beat-mayor-gordon-epa-adivsory-committee/ Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:25:35 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9671 Mayor Gordon appointed to EPA advisory committee Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon was recently appointed to the Environmental Protection Agency's Local Government Advisory Committee, representing mayors across the U.S. The EPA's Local Government Advisory Committee provides advice and recommendations to its administrator, assists in developing a stronger partnership with local governments and helps build state and local capacity to deliver environmental services and programs.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 05.04.10 I finally made an appointment recently after receiving a $65 gift certificate from the hubby. I bitched and moaned after calling Sunday and Monday, not reaching ANYONE. Come to find out, they are closed both days and I somehow neglected to see that when I looked up their hours online. Yes, I am an airhead. I do think it is annoying that their voicemail directs you to their website for hours, though. Anyways, one of the girls actually responded to my voicemail and called me back to schedule an appointment. Seriously? Someone actually called back? Major kudos in my book, and then they were able to take me in the afternoon/evening, which made me very happy. I was almost 15 minutes late to my appointment because the address on my gift certificate was their old location, so be aware that they are at Central and south of Virginia, not closer to Indian School. The girl working on my hair was Miranda. I opted for the shampoo, cut and style ($60). If I recall correctly, they do a scalp massage with every haircut and Miranda also gave me a hand massage, but I don't remember if that is also with the cut or part of the shampoo. I had Miranda trim my hair, clean up my layers and blow dry my hair straight (I have curly hair). My hair looks amazing and is silky soft. Yes, I could be in a hair commercial right now with my hair bouncing around my face. I thought Miranda was great and we had good conversation. I thought, Whoa, she could actually be my friend! She must have wooed me with her stylist charms. No, but seriously, this place was very chill, employees seemed happy to work there and very welcoming of the customers. I guess $60 may seem expensive to some, but I felt like you got alot for it. I couldn't do this every month, but could be persuaded to visit Ide Mania every three months. That seems more reasonable, right? What was cool, too, was that they let me use the remaining $5 on the gift certificate toward Miranda's tip, so I gave the rest in cash. The parking situation could be a little awkward, but I didn't have any issues. I haven't really been to any other salons (for hair), but as far as I'm concerned, I don't need to. Hubby can continue sending me to this place! Ide Mania is located at 2501 N.

The Arizona Room at Burton Barr Central Library is now located on the second floor. Stop in today! From the Arizona Room is a weekly column examining the historic, reuse and infill structures in Downtown Phoenix.

For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 546 W. Adams St., Downtown West Van Buren and the Lower Grand gateway area was once a hotbed of small hotels and motels, and a scattered few in various states of quality remain. Tucked just east of 7th Avenue on Adams Street, the New Windsor Hotel is a true Phoenix landmark — one of only three remaining pre-1900 hotels in the original townsite. Built in 1893 by A.D. Walsh, it was known as the 6th Avenue Hotel until 1925, when it was renamed the Windsor Hotel. (As you can tell, the "New" prefix was added some years later, after an addition was completed.) The three-story brick structure has a stucco façade on the south and west walls, allowing for interesting textures on its weathered walls. It has some notable design touches, particularly its modern pilasters and the niches in the parapets above its windows. The three-bay entry, a precursor to mixed-use ground-level spaces seen elsewhere in the city, was unique in its time, and the coved ceiling added some charm. Additions were undertaken in 1935, chief among them the build-out of the middle section of the third floor. A front brick addition with casement windows mixed the Victorian architecture with a modern façade. Yes, the New Windsor has been through its share of changes. Yet it stands today still architecturally significant, still vital and still cause for examination from passersby. Source: Phoenix: Nineteenth Century Architecture.

Like any of the audience needed a reminder. The Honda Civic Tour, featuring Paramore, Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha is soon coming to an end after a summer of crisscrossing the nation, but the mood was hardly tiresome in the nearly packed house. Filling up the lobby of the Dodge were hundreds of people getting 'Paramore' stenciled on parts of their bodies or buying merch that came with a special red Paramore bag or a free download of Sainthood, Tegan and Sara’s most recent album. Inside the venue was a nearly sold-out crowd anxiously waiting for the night’s biggest stars. Girls and women, tweens to middle age, filled the seats along with parents and boyfriends dragged to the show, children and some hip old people. There was a screen covering the stage wall showing the “Honda Civic Tour: Paramore TV” with videos of the band along with music videos by Death Cab for Cutie, Led Zeppelin and TI. In an interactive twist, the crowd could text whatever they wanted onto the screen for everyone to read what was on their mind about the show. At around 8 p.m., Tegan and Sara stepped on the stage to Animal Collective’s “My Girls.” With guitars armed and ready to play, Tegan and Sara played a 14-song set list, including “Walking with a Ghost,” “Back in Your Head,” and “Nineteen.” Before playing “On Directing,” Tegan exclaimed that someday the song will be on the show So You Think You Can Dance. “There’s something you for sure won’t be seeing on there: These two fools,” Tegan said as she pointed to her sister and herself. The 10-year road veterans put on a show Phoenix has been waiting for too long. They were dancing what they call "the Canadian shuffle," which consists of moving side to side (looking a little awkward), and having fun on stage, as well as joking with the crowd. Tegan announced that the two sisters will be turning 30 in three days, but Sara looks as if she’s 12. Sara replied saying it’s all because of her Justin Bieber haircut. “We going to get so rich with Justin Bieber in this band,” Tegan said. The two definitely showed that age is just a number. Once the lights came up after Tegan and Sara, everyone was on edge, anticipating when Paramore would appear on stage. Twenty-five painful minutes later, a drape fell on the stage and screams began. If you were there, you would have felt that you were about to witness a Justin Bieber concert. The band was slowly revealed and the crowd went even crazier when they jumped right into “Ignorance.” Williams was a ball of fire with her fire engine red hair, orange microphone and yellow shirt. She ran all over the stage, dancing, head banging and getting everyone in their seats to stand up. Paramore was fun, energetic and explosive, and songs were sung by the crowd nearly louder than Williams. During the fourth song, Williams stopped singing and went to the edge of the stage, moving her finger side-to-side, anger in her face. Once the band was done playing, she explained to the crowd that there were people fighting in the pit. “You’re at a Paramore show, not a Terror show,” Williams announced. “You look stupid fighting here.” She proceeded to tell security to kick them out. Once the trash was taken out, the show went on. They played a 16-song set list, including a cover of Loretta Lynn's “You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take my Man” and an acoustic set with “Where the Lines Overlap” and “Misguided Ghosts.” They exited the stage with the slow hit, “The Only Exception” and left the crowd begging for more. After a couple minutes, the band came back to play two last songs. During their last song, “Misery Business,” Williams invited three kids on stage from the pit to sing and dance with her. She showed it doesn’t matter how big you are, you can still make someone’s night with a small gestures.]]> 9739 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/21/dpj-yelper-week-carla-htc-uptown-body-piercing/ Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:45:27 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9754 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Knipe House has sat, dilapidated and in dire need of TLC, on its lot on 2nd and Portland streets for years, and its unfortunate fire damage (alleged arson) this past spring has only worsened the conditions on this c. 1909 home. Today, the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission will meet to discuss the Knipe's fate, and your voice can be heard. The meeting will review the report findings and recommendations of local architect Bob Graham, ask for public comment, and discuss the feasibility and/or appropriateness of using Historic Preservation Bond funds (and other available funding) to make the needed repairs (approximately in the $100,000 range just to fix the fire damage). Options include reconstructing the fire-damaged portions, weather-tightening the building, holding on (hopefully) until the economy recovers and then seeking an adaptive reuse partner, or demolishing it due to cost. If the latter is chosen, it will result in another dirt lot in an already dirt-filled Evans Churchill neighborhood. Even before the recent fire, the Knipe House was listed on the Phoenix Historic Neighborhood Coalition's Most EnDangered Dozen Historic Places List. The lot size allows for on-site parking if a refurbishing is undertaken. The "Save the Knipe" meeting takes place this afternoon at 4:30 at Historic City Hall, 130 W. Washington St., second floor.

Hitting the highlight of my week, I strolled out of my weekly daytime movie and I was feeling the hunger pangs. A sweet, hot desert breeze wafted the smells of scrumptious pizza toward me and my direction was quickly changed. I was so excited to order and dive in that I barely noticed the posh interior. This place is dolled up to say the least. Brick also plays it pretty smart by having a surprisingly extensive menu that is riddled with everything from fresh-cut pastas to salmon filets. Also, there is a crazy fancy cheese list, of which I can’t pronounce a single item. So, it must be good. I quickly rifled through the menu and landed on a deliciously unique pizza: the short rib pizza. Topped with slow-roasted short ribs, banana peppers and sweet potatoes, it certainly seemed like a different mouthwatering combo. I must admit that it was my heritage that pointed me to this dish. See, back home we are not allowed to pass up sweet potatoes. It’s kind of a rule. Since I wandered in at the tail end of the lunch rush, my pizza came out pretty quickly. I made short work of this thing. Each bite was kind of exotic and flavorful. It had a downhome kick, given that the back half of each slice had a sweet potato sauce to make your tongue do flips. The banana peppers added a nice, spicy contrast to round out the dish. I have to admit it more than hit the spot. I nearly asked if they had a delivery service, so that my now overstuffed bum could actually get home. Should you be taking in a movie or thinking about hitting up Cold Stone Creamery, make sure to save room and time to run by Brick Urban Kitchen. It is a welcomed feasting zone in the Arizona Center. I’m excited that I now have a regular spot to scarf some serious pizza after the movies. Brick Urban Kitchen is located at 455 N. 3rd St. in Downtown Phoenix (light rail at Central Station).]]> 9770 0 0 0 3126 0 0 3293 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/21/moving-phoenix-forward-phoenix-design-week/ Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:32:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9779 Phoenix Design Week co-founders Mark Dudlik and Dave Bjorn, the duo that is Dojo Collective, and ask them why they're working nearly around the clock to make the second annual event a success, it becomes apparent that these guys ooze the creative scene of Phoenix. Frustrated with the lack of design respect our desert locale gets on a national scale — Dudlik names off a half-dozen highly praised metros like New York, Minneapolis and Austin before quickly stating Phoenix could be part of this top tier — you'd think these two (both of whom have day jobs, by the way) had no choice but to create the event, which runs from September 29 to October 3. Trying to whittle Phoenix Design Week into a succinct description is taxing, if not simply because of its scope, then because of its expanding reputation. The theme this year is "FORWARD," hinting at progress, dignity and innovation. Simply put, Phoenix Design Week aims to celebrate the local design community and the city of Phoenix — it is a full-blown national conference, after all. More than 30 local and national speakers are scheduled throughout the weekend, plus a very notable two-day Adobe training program (traditionally a value of $800) is offered. This year's conference, held at the Phoenix Convention Center, proudly features seven national speakers, as well as a whole host of locals spreading their creative knowledge. But what if you're not a designer? Some of us can't draw a straight line to save our lives, but we can still appreciate some killer exhibits — 10 in all, spread across three Valley locations. It's inspiring to all.

Conference

The conference runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the Phoenix Convention Center. A party open to everyone who registers for the conference will be held at Gallo Blanco Café and Bar on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Nearly burnt to a crisp earlier this summer, the c. 1909 home does house some Phoenix historical significance beyond its 101-year age. Leighton G. Knipe, the namesake and architect of the home, was notable in the early 20th century Phoenix building scene. He drew up plans for the town of Litchfield Park and its storied Wigwam Resort, but also engineered the Jefferson Hotel, Tempe City Hall and several buildings on ASU's Tempe campus. Knipe built the home on 2nd Street for his parents, but he moved in and officed soon after its completion. The Knipe House is now a weathered beacon of north Evans Churchill — this part of the neighborhood north of Roosevelt Street has been mostly demolished over the years for projects that failed to take off or to simply eliminate blight. What you see now is the Knipe House surrounded by dirt, dirt and more dirt. It is one of the few historical remains of this Central Phoenix neighborhood, and it was in dire shape well before its alleged arson (it recently appeared on the Phoenix Historic Neighborhood Coalition's Most EnDangered Dozen Historic Places List). As of today, the second floor, which featured a damaged original wooden roof, is virtually gone, exposing the home to the elements. A brick chimney protruding from the rubbled second floor is the remnant of a wood-burning stove the was in the ground-floor kitchen. The sleeping porch, though in bad shape, has survived, and the foundation and support walls are still in decent shape. The September 20, 2010 meeting before the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission revealed architect Bob Graham's conclusions on the building, confirming that is still indeed worth saving and possible to save. The fire damage alone will cost an estimated $150,000 to repair. Much more discussion will follow, as well as the result of the building's insurance claim in the coming weeks and months. For now, let the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Commission and the Evans Churchill Community Association know that you want the Knipe House to be refurbished.

The Trunk Space can provide you with some entertainment this Friday. The venue will be celebrating The Chronicles of Sheriff Joe Arpaio 7" release show with Andrew Jackson Jihad, Treasure Mammal, Porches and Father's Day. Yes, you read that correctly: A record about our infamous sheriff. Each band wrote a song about Sheriff Joe for the record, which will be on sale that night. The 7" was put on eBay and proceeds were given to No More Deaths, a coalition that works to end the suffering and death of migrants. Still not intrigued in going? Hear about the lineup. Andrew Jackson Jihad is a Phoenix-based band that has made quite the name for themselves beyond our state. Members Sean Bonnette and Ben Gallaty have made a genre of their own with their folk-punk sound that seems to have gotten bigger since the band's inception in 2004. They have released more than 15 CDs, EPs and splits. They’ve been featured as “one of the bands to look out for” in Alternative Press and have definitely lived up to that standard. When you hear Andrew Jackson Jihad's lyrics, it isn't surprising that they are appearing on an Arpaio-themed record. They just finished a U.S. tour with Blunt Mechanic and will be kicking off their European tour with Kepi Ghoulie from the Groovie Ghoulies in October. Treasure Mammal is a one-man band with a crazy, funky-techno sound that meshes with the hijinks of Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show. Abe Gil’s stage outfits are as crazy as his music, with unicorn costumes and a wide range of unitards. Father’s Day is a four-piece punk/thrash band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Douglas Patton, Frank Brando, Juan P. Mendoza and Andy Denver, like Andrew Jackson Jihad, have made a name for themselves by playing at the Trunk Space. Not only will the music be something you’ve never heard before, but the show will also be something you’ve (probably) never seen before, with folk-punk, crazy techno and thrash all playing under one roof. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and is a whopping $5. The Trunk Space is located at 1506 Grand Ave.]]> 9808 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/24/grand-times/ Fri, 24 Sep 2010 18:57:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9816 Grand Avenue Festival, but don't expect the same attendee experience at the second incarnation of this now annual festival. Sure, there will be the requisite funkiness of our diagonal westside highway — the examples of adaptive reuse, the fiercely local live music, the hole-in-the-wall shops, the vast array of artwork — but Grand is a year older and a year wiser, and will host a pretty slick shindig planned for Saturday, September 25. Since there is so much to see and experience throughout the entire day, activities are broken up by category for easy browsing.

[caption id="attachment_9905" align="aligncenter" width="583" caption="FilmBar is set to open later this year at 2nd and McKinley streets."][/caption] Weiss, who became involved in programming eight years ago, approached FilmBar owner and founder Kelly Aubey about programming for the theater. Although Aubey had originally planned on doing the programming himself, he gave the position to Weiss. “As this project progressed, I realized that I wouldn’t have the time to program effectively,” Aubey confessed. “Steve’s got a lot of experience and was a natural fit, so it was a pretty easy decision to bring him on.” [caption id="attachment_9906" align="alignright" width="250" caption="FilmBar founder Kelly Aubey. Photo by Steve Weiss."][/caption] FilmBar plans to showcase independent, classic, art house, cult, foreign and experimental films, according to Weiss. He wants to bring in films that “educate, entertain and enlighten” to keep the audience thinking, but he hopes they will enjoy themselves, too. Both Weiss and Aubey believe the audience should expect films that are different from others they’ve seen before. “Too often, movies and music are just a rehashing, or even a straight copy, of someone else’s work and it always excites me when I see someone taking a chance to explore new territory,” Weiss said. “They are artists — and it’s the artists I want to work with.” Aubey added that although films from all over the world will be shown at FilmBar, he is passionate about giving local filmmakers a place to screen their work as well. For members of the public who would like to suggest films to be shown, Weiss said there is contact information on the FilmBar website. He added that some of the films he has championed over the years have come to him through suggestions. [caption id="attachment_9907" align="alignleft" width="320" caption="FilmBar programmer Steve Weiss. Photo by Jamie Peachey."][/caption] The films won’t be played on loop behind a bar all day long, but rather shown in a 60- to 80-seat digital cinema in a separate room. There will be multiple screenings of a certain film from Thursday to Sunday each week, and the film may carry over to a second weekend if it is successful. To give the audience a chance to utilize the bar, the films will be staggered to allow extra time in between screenings, and some of the longer movies may have intermissions. The duo has decided on the debut film that will show at FilmBar’s grand opening in December, but is not releasing it to the public just yet. Weiss says there will probably be a soft opening in November to present the space, which he believes will exceed people’s expectations along with the programming, to ramp up to the debut film. Aubey is simply excited to be a part of the Roosevelt Row area. He was inspired to create FilmBar by the efforts of others in Downtown Phoenix that have brought interesting bars, restaurants and galleries to the area. “What I want to achieve is to add a mix of other great independent businesses Downtown so that Phoenix can continue to mature into a cultural destination like all great cities,” Aubey said. FilmBar is located at 815 N. 2nd St. (light rail at Roosevelt Station) Stay tuned to DPJ for information on its grand opening later this year.]]> 9833 0 0 0 3291 http://www.facebook.com/newzzero 0 199 3321 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 0 169 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/28/sips-grub-ultimate-panini-downtown-deli/ Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:18:34 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9840

In our lovely, sun-soaked slice of heaven, we are blessed with some long-term mainstays in the restaurant world. This sort of throwback was exactly what pointed me toward Central Avenue and the legendary tastes of The Downtown Deli.

I had heard they sliced up some mean sandwiches. Upon walking through the doors, I knew that this place was legit. Everything, from the smells beckoning me toward the back counter to the newspaper-adorned wall, spoke to me of a deli that teemed with history. They proudly boast that they have served Phoenix since 1961, and they have the news clippings and such to prove it. So, wide-eyed and drooling, I approached the counter and looked over the list of specialties. It all sounded amazing. From stacks of corned beef covered in sauerkraut to pastrami and turkey, Downtown Deli serves a bevy of choices, so it is hard to decide. Finally, my eyes fixed on the daily special, the Ultimate Grilled Cheese Panini. Loaded with cheese, crisp bacon and juicy tomato, this sandwich sounded like a treat-and-a-half. Once it arrived, my hunger was at a fever pitch, so I dove in. The cheese: melty and delicious. The fresh-cooked bacon slices and succulent tomatoes in there: an absolute joy. This sandwich was just what my tummy doctor ordered. I must admit that I debated over ordering a crazy meat-stacked panini, but my stomach and vanquished hunger are both confident of my decision. I will just have to come by more often to visit some of our fair city’s heritage and make short work of the rest of the stellar-looking menu. The Downtown Deli is located at 130 N. Central Ave (light rail at Central/Washington and 1st Ave/Jefferson stations) — 602.258.3069.]]> 9840 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/09/29/roosevelt-row-streetscapes/ Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:43:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9847 Roosevelt Row is holding its fourth and final stakeholders meeting this evening at Trinity Cathedral to discuss the Roosevelt Row Streetscape Improvements project.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the second floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 628 E. Adams St., Heritage Square

Way back in 1898, A.F.C. Kirchoff, a then prominent liquor dealer in Phoenix, purchased the plot of land on Adams Street on the west side of 7th Street from Flora Rosson. For the next few years, the land remained vacant as Kirchoff planned to build a residence, which broke ground in 1900 and was finished around 1901. The resulting structure was a wide Neo-Colonial Revival home that Kirchoff rented out to make some extra cash. In 1906, Kirchoff sold the home to a Glendale rancher and warehouse owner, Alejandro Silva. For the next 20 years, Silva continued to lease the home to tenants as property values in the area soared. When Silva passed away in 1926, his widow moved in to the home, and it stayed in the Silva family until 1977, when the home was acquired by the city of Phoenix. The Silva House has been many things — a rental home, a family heirloom, a museum and several restaurants — all without any structural compromise. The brick home, with a stone/concrete foundation, has great bones, and a notable wood-shingled roof with corbelled chimneys and pristine paneling on its north entry. The boxed cornice eave atop the front porch entrance of the home serves as a beacon for patrons of the home's current incarnation, the Rose & Crown Pub, which opened its doors in 2008. The entry, with its recessed veranda and classical columns, is the nighttime hangout spot at the pub, gathering large crowds that mingle and sip more than 50 different types of beer available at the bar just inside the front door.

At 6 p.m., stop in to see Stephen Steinbrink and Nick Shebley’s artwork decorate the ol’ Space, but once 9:00 rolls around, that’s when the party starts. So Cow, Big Vinny & The Cattle Thieves, Andy Nutrition and the Sherms are all set to take the stage. So Cow is a band all the way from Ireland with a very traditional kooky and indie "Trunk Space" sound. It makes you want to bob your head and get your hair all messy while dancing around. The cost is only $5, so it won’t break the bank. If you’re looking for something a little on the mellow side but still something you don’t see every day, The Rhythm Room is where you need to be. There will be a harmonica showcase with six different artists. The show (21+), part of a three-day festival, is sold out, but is accepting names for a standby list. [caption id="attachment_9879" align="aligncenter" width="590" caption="Civic Space Park is a great place for the whole family to take in a free concert. Snake, Snake, Snakes plays on Friday at 8 p.m."][/caption] The Lost Leaf, right in the center of the Roosevelt Row hullabaloo, is a little closer if you don’t want to search for a parking spot at a different venue. The bar's First Friday lineup (21+, free) features Snow Songs, Fatigo, Vanessa Atalanta and Golden Boy. Snow Songs is a three-piece local band with a soft, sweet vocalist with a dreamy, low-key sound. The guitar is subdued but gives the songs a stronger noise. Fatigo is a band with a trick or two up their sleeves. With more than 10 members, their songs go from fast with mixed vocals to slow, melodic intermissions and then back to fast — expect the unexpected. Fatigo is equal parts Latin, punk, pop, Sublime-esque good times and a taste of Gogol Bordello style all mixed together in a bowl, creating quite the musical roux. Vanessa Atalanta is not a solo artist, but a two-piece indie band that has a killer singer with amazing vocals and a smooth guitar to back it up. At Civic Space Park, Snake, Snake, Snakes will play at 8 p.m. (for free!), so you can bring your blanket and sit back and relax (or dance the night away). So, if it's fast, slow, indie, odd, dancy or whatever, First Friday is packed with tunes to cure that long week you had. The Trunk Space is located at 1506 Grand Ave. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E. Indian School Rd. in Midtown. The Lost Leaf is located at 914 N. 5th St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station). Civic Space Park is located at 424 N.

That's right, they've been brewing beer for 1,242 years, so they must know a thing or two about it. The festival will also welcome other breweries from around Germany to Downtown Phoenix. Phoenix Sister Cities is responsible for creating what is sure to be an annual celebration, and the group has some solid recommendations to try:

• Spaten Oktoberfest Beer. Spaten Oktoberfest Beer, created in 1872, is the world's first Oktoberfest beer, brewed for the greatest folk festival in the world. Every year, over and over again, countless Oktoberfest visitors share their enthusiasm for this beer. Spaten Oktoberfest Beer is amber in color. This medium-bodied beer has achieved its impeccable taste by balancing the roasted malt flavor with the perfect amount of hops. Having a rich-textured palate with an underlying sweetness true to tradition makes it an annual favorite among Germans.

• Erdinger Oktoberfest Beer. "Like all ERDINGER beers, Erdinger Oktoberfest-Weizen is also refermented in the bottle and keg — similar to the champagne method," said Erdinger's Brewmaster Peter Liebert. "Very few breweries still stick to this traditional, complex and expensive brewing method. It is this bottle and keg fermentation that gives Erdinger its unparalleled quality and freshness. And to protect this freshness Erdinger is never pasteurized. Festival goers can now enjoy exactly the same Erdinger Oktoberfest-Weizen as Europeans have been enjoying for decades.

• Bitburger Premium Pils. Brewers of one of Germany's finest beers for almost 200 years, Bitburger brewery is a large German brewery founded in 1817 and ranks number three among Germany's bestselling breweries. Bitburger Brewing Group adheres to the German Purity Law. Originally passed in 1516, this law stipulates that you can only use water, yeast, barley, hops and hop products. The company slogan is, "Bitte ein Bit." This is literally, "Please, a Bit," or "a Bit, please." In the 1970s, a second slogan was introduced, "Abends Bit, morgens fit" ("Bit in the evening, fit in the morning"), implying that the consumption wouldn't lead to a hangover.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 04.13.10 So, I've been here like a kazillion times, but never thought about posting a review for it. This place is sausage heaven! (Crack all the jokes you want.) I moved back to CenPho about a year-and-a-half ago, and had always wanted to check this place out, but never did. I was instantly hooked, and have been a loyal customer ever since. They have tons of different types of sausages and dogs. Most come smoked or fresh. I'm a huge fan of their smoked Linguisa and their Chorico. They also have these odds and ends mixed sausage/brat/hot dog skewers for like 2 bucks a pound, and I'm a real sucker for those! The prices are awesome, you can get out under $20 with a great mix of sausages and brats for the grill. Make this your go-to spot for grilling in the summer and trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Fortunately, Fair Trade Café was offering its own delicious take on two of my favorite things: peach cobbler and iced lattes. I must admit that I am a sucker for a good coffee shop. I like a place to rest on my laurels and take in the collective creative spirit that seems to permeate the room. So, Fair Trade is a natural Sips and Grub hangout. Upon walking across the threshold, I was met with a boho-chic combo of lounging couches and tables, and with the smells of hot sandwiches and brewing coffee. Conveniently enough, the writing was literally on the wall, in colored chalk — “Peach Cobbler Latte.” Since it contained the word “peach,” I had no other choice in the matter. I ordered it iced (this is Phoenix after all) and I quietly took my place at my small round table in the corner. The barista shouted my name to beckon me to my drink and revealingly offered that mine was the first one he had made. My hopes were unwavered. After all, who can mess up anything peach flavored? The first sip was all that I needed to longingly remember fall days eating peach cobbler in my Nanny’s living room. This drink was iced deliciousness in a desert land. I’m aware that it was probably some peach syrup poured generously into a regular latte, and perhaps it was my subconscious pushing the flavors to great heights, but it was extremely amazing. I dare you to go try it, with an open mind, and not reminisce about the last time you had some good peach cobbler. It’s seriously that good.

The unassuming East Evergreen Historic District is just steps from a busy 7th Street and McDowell Road intersection, but select small lots along Willetta Street have been well preserved from a time when this neighborhood was the boonies. One of those lots is home to the James H. McClintock House. Built in 1911, the one-and-a-half-story home was drawn up by McClintock, a prominent Arizonan in the early stages of the 20th century. What didn't McClintock do? He co-founded The Arizona Republican (now known as The Arizona Republic) and was the editor of the Phoenix Gazette, a member of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, a successful farmer, justice of the peace and the Phoenix postmaster. As if that weren't enough, he even wrote two books on Arizona history. The home is in fair condition today — characteristic of the neighborhood — its cross-gabled dormer protects a roomy sleeping porch, much larger than most in the area. The booming roof line makes it the most notable home on the street despite the sign in the front yard proclaiming the home's historic status. Still, it is one of the foremost examples of a large turn-of-the-century Southwestern bungalow in Phoenix. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Phantogram is a two-piece band with the shoegaze, techno sound of Yeasayer and vocals and thicker beats of Sleigh Bells. Josh Carter (guitar) and Sarah Barthel (vocals/keyboardist) were childhood friends before starting Phantogram in 2007. More boy-and-girl duos keep popping up, and every time it’s something new, intriguing and mind-blowing. The band has shared the stage with bands such as The xx, Metric and Ra Ra Riot, and played SXSW last year. They were recently featured in SPIN and have been surging up the indie status chart with their February debut release, Eyelid Movies. Choice cuts “Running from the Cops” and “Mouthful of Diamonds” (see below) should added to your iPod as soon as possible. Their electro-pop-meets-hip-hop beats will have you bobbing your head and wondering how only four hands make all that noise. And, if you haven’t heard of Why?, the band's drummer will be a nice surprise as an opener. Along with his younger brother, Yoni Wolf, who is the lead singer of Why?, Josiah Wolf has an quirky voice that seems odd at first but quickly begins to grow on you. His solo album, Jet Lag, has a nice, slow, calm feeling about it, but there are surprises along with the soft sounds. What’s even more surprising is that he played every single instrument on the CD, so how will he do it in person? You’ll have to go to Rips to find out. The show was originally scheduled at Sanctum on the Melrose Curve, but the venue has changed to Rips, which isn’t a typical spot to see live music of the non-DJ variety, so it’s nice to see new potential venues popping up in the 'hood. The show (21+ only) is $10 and doors open at 9 p.m. The bill also includes DJs William Reed, Jared Alan and Sean Watson. Rips Fine Ales and Cocktails is located at 3045 N. 16th St. in Midtown — 602.266.0015]]> 9949 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/10/08/cenphocamp-returns/ Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:00:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=9959 Before we begin, I must disclose the truth: I am a co-organizer of CenPhoCamp. Yes, I'm biased. But you should be, too. This is presented by your neighbors, for you and your neighbors. Make no mistake, Arizona's economic situation is very glum. Learning how to support your neighborhood, spend your money locally and create a cohesive community is absolutely critical to dig ourselves out of this mess. A lot of people have asked me, "What is CenPhoCamp?" Simply put, CenPhoCamp is a volunteer-run workshop that teaches small businesses and neighborhood leaders how to use all of their resources to their utmost advantage. Everyone could use a little help; we're just trying to spread it around in a cohesive manner. The event is comprised of 12 35-minute sessions. The camp designation signifies an "unconference" that encourages audience participation, leaving one session for another and break-out conversations based on material learned. Presenters should be thought of as conversation moderators, as they usually get as much out of the interaction as attendees do. The camp has a rather impressive lineup this time around — there truly is something for everyone. Take a peek below, and see the event website for detailed bios of each presenter: 1 p.m. Keynote by organizers Tyler Hurst and Si Robins 1:20 p.m. "Social Media isn't Just for the Young" — Kathy Jacobs (Room 256 — Outreach) "CRM for Me!" — RedPear (Room 252 — Community) "New Media Discussion" — Bill Wyman and Brahm Resnik (Room 202 — Journalism) 2:10 p.m. "Create, Communicate and Connect" — Jose Gonzalez and Bill Binder (Room 252 — Community) "Curation in the Modern News Cycle" — Bill Wyman (Room 202 — Journalism) "Customer Loyalty 2.0, the New Small Business Branding" — Kevin Spidel (Room 256 — Outreach) 3 p.m. "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Yelp?" — Chad Swaney (Room 256 — Outreach) "Universities 101 — What You Need to Know" — Gary Campbell (Room 252 — Community) "How Hyperlocal Works" — Catrina Knoebl (Room 202 — Journalism) 3:50 p.m. "You're Not Mill Ave. Embrace It — How to Get 20somethings in the Door" — Jonathan Kressaty (Room 256 — Outreach) "The Business of Local News: How We Decide What's a Headline and How Digital Media is Changing Everything" — Kirk Yuhnke  (Room 202 — Journalism) "Green Tips for Small Businesses" — Drew Manusharow (Room 252 — Community)

I was watching YouTube at the time. I knew we had to act quickly.” “We did what media companies do," said DPJ Managing Editor Si Robins."We looked to see what other people were doing.” “Wired Magazine gave us the answer a month later,” said Knoebl. “When they claimed the Web was dead – on the cover of a magazine? Well, we knew right then and there they were saying magazines are NOT dead.” [caption id="attachment_10094" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Evidence of non-smartphones"][/caption] So they decided to follow the national pub’s lead.

It is a gay sports bar, which is a peculiar concoction. Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus or Kelly Rowland playing on the bass while the Dodgers or Sooners or Suns play. Bizarre at first, but slowly the two pool tables, three dart boards and seven or so flat screens grow on you. The atmosphere is chill even on their busy nights. Drinks are cheap and it is always seems to be 2-4-1 time, which makes the drinks even cheaper. They are generally strong. No sissy stuff here. The food is high-notch bar fare. The crowd is sometimes attractive, sometimes old, sometimes female, but the feel is certainly always neighborhood.

Roosevelt St., Garfield Historic District The revitalization of the Garfield neighborhood has been a slow but constant progression over the past decade. Historic bungalows have been modernized, live-work row houses have sprouted up from dirt lots and the crowds at Rito's are thicker than ever. The main drag is still the northernmost arterial road, Roosevelt Street, with its mix of historic homes, restaurants, schools, convenience shops and arts spaces. But for 112 years, the quaint E.W. Skinner House has been a constant presence at 9th and Roosevelt streets. The c. 1898 Neo Colonial Revival-style home was built by Mr. Skinner himself, a noted Phoenix contractor. The building was right in the heart of the Dennis Addition, a portion of land from 7th to 12th streets and Roosevelt to Van Buren streets — at the time barren desert farmland adjacent to the Phoenix town site — that was founded in 1893 and annexed to the city in 1899. The Dennis Addition later became the lion's share of the Garfield District. Skinner sold the home in 1899 following annexation, and it was used throughout the years as a single-family residence and rental home. Today, the wood frame and stone foundation is still in good condition. No word on the original asbestos tile wall sheathing. You can't miss the home, located across the street from Welcome Diner, with its funky, truncated hip roof and boxed cornice. A rear addition was added to the house in the 20th century, and the asphalt shingles are presumably much younger than most of the home. It stands as one of only a handful of pre-1900 Dennis Addition homes still in existence. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

A lot has changed since that time. Amar'e Stoudemire, Lou Amundson and Leandro Barbosa are in different uniforms. Hedo Turkoglu, Josh Childress and Hakim Warrick are new in town, and the Suns Spot is back to give you insight and thoughts on yet another exciting season of Phoenix Suns basketball. This past Tuesday I was able to catch my first glimpse of the new-look Suns as they faced the Utah Jazz in their preseason home opener and fourth preseason game overall. The Suns lost 105-100 in what ended up being quite a good game, especially for the preseason. Despite the loss, I saw a lot of positives that make me very excited for this year's campaign. The starters looked solid. Offensively, they moved the ball well. Robin Lopez showed the ability to run the pick-n-roll with Steve Nash and do it effectively. Jason Richardson was aggressive, but not too aggressive. J-Rich looks like he knows he needs to be the leading scorer for the team this year. Grant Hill was Grant Hill and Nash was Nash. Unfortunately, we were only able to see about nine minutes of Hedo, as he sat out most of the game with a back bruise, but he didn't look bad in what I saw. On the defensive side and on the glass the guys showed a lot of energy. Lopez had at least one block he was credited with and changed a few other shots. He did pick up a few fouls, but they were questionable. On one possession Turkoglu was draped over Utah's Paul Millsap and forced him into a tough shot. Millsap hit the shot, but the defensive effort was impressive nonetheless. One plus to Hedo being limited was seeing Warrick play with the starters. He looked good and at one point received a nice lob pass from Nash that he turned into a reverse dunk. Warrick in the starting lineup is something I think could actually benefit the Suns. He would give Nash another option in the pick-n-roll and it would allow Hedo to run the offense for the second unit. I'm curious to see if this thought ever crosses coach Alvin Gentry's mind when he's tinkering with the rotations. Speaking of the second unit, they were very strong. A lineup of Warrick, Childress, Channing Frye, Goran Dragic and Jared Dudley went on a huge run in the fourth quarter to get the Suns back in the game and give them a brief lead. Second-year forward Earl Clark was part of the run as well, as he replaced Warrick about halfway through and looked good, especially on defense, where he picked up four blocks. The defense of the Suns bench showed why it will be a strong point for the team this year. They were very active and played with a lot of hustle. They applied near full-court pressure and fought for every rebound. Childress was most impressive fighting for boards. Dragic, after struggling and looking somewhat out of control in the first half, ran the offense to near perfection in the second. Dudley is looking leaner and much better at creating his shot, which could come in handy with him expecting to see a lot of time at the two spot this year. Frye looked much improved on the defensive side of the ball, but struggled to knock down shots. This is no worry, though, as this was just Frye's second preseason game after missing the first two for the birth of his son (congrats, Channing!). All in all, the Suns look to be gelling well and will without a doubt be ready once the regular season kicks off in about a week-and-a-half.

Phoenix Suns search for in-arena DJ

This year, the Suns are looking to add a new element to their in-arena entertainment as they are searching for a DJ to entertain fans at US Airways Center along with arena host Ced Ceballos, The Gorilla and Suns Dancers. Candidates must be 21 years of age or older and are asked to send demo tapes and résumés to the Suns Vice President of Game Entertainment by Monday, October 18. Finalists will be chosen and asked to perform at US Airways Center. Fans will then be able to view the footage and vote online at Suns.com for the DJ they like the best. The winning DJ will perform for the first time at the home opener on October 29 against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Psyko Steve is bringing it all to you at the Hard Rock Café tonight, October 15. The Tremulants, The Necronauts, Former Friends of Young Americans and Amen Cowboy are playing the Black Cactus Records Showcase and celebrating The Tremulants' album release. The Tremulants are a five-piece indie-electronic band from Tempe that throws in a gnarly curve ball when you hear the violin playing. The Necronauts are a three-piece punk funk band. If you’re a fan of Fat Wreck Chords bands and Dead Milkmen, then they are your flavor. Former Friends of Young Americans is a four-piece down-tempo indie band. Their sound has a sort of mellow Local Natives sound. Amen Cowboy is originally from Detroit, but has found its way down to Phoenix with three less members than when it began. Clinton Switzer is the songwriter, guitarist and vocalist for Amen Cowboy. Name sound familiar? It’s because he’s made a little name for himself Downtown. He’s played many First Fridays (especially in front of his home at Holgas) and Civic Space Park. If you’re ever around Holgas and hear music, it's most likely coming from Switzer’s loft. All four bands play four very different genres of music, so if you’re a little bit of rock n’ roll or a little bit of country, Hard Rock is where it’s at. The show is all ages and costs $10 at the door.

But last Tuesday night, there was a new soundtrack in the background: Gospel Claws’ new album. Gospel Claws is special to Arizona because they only stay in their home state. They’ve never toured outside of it. Arizona: 1, rest of the world: 0. The five-piece band includes Sloan Dylan Walters (vocals, guitar, keys, drums, bass), Joel Marquard (vocals, guitar, organ), Wesley Hilsabeck (guitar, vocals), Scott Hall (drums) and John Michael Mulhern (bass, keys, recorder). The band first started playing together in 2007 after previous bands didn’t work out and all the members happened to fall into place. Hilsabeck, who used to play acoustic with members from Black Carl around the Valley, recalls the long tale and how he got into the band. “Joel worked for DHL at the time," Hillsabeck recalls. "He delivered a package of cookies from my mom." The DHL deliverer left a letter on the door with this message: “Hey Wesley, this is Joel from the band that I’m in right now. Call me; I have a package for you.” The two talked later that night about music and cookies and thus, Gospel Claws was complete. Since then, they’ve played all over, from the Rogue Bar to Modified Arts to the PHiX. Though they don’t tour, they’ve been able to open up for some great touring bands, such as Portugal. The Man, Deer Tick and Cage the Elephant. Unlike other bands, the members of Gospel Claws see music as a hobby and fun thing to do on the side. “We’re letting it be its own thing,” Hilsabeck says. Gospel Claws’ music is as wide ranging as their tastes: Beach Boys meets Local Natives, a boppy, country-blues band that sounds fun and keeps you moving. Their new album, C.L.A.W.S., has a twist you don't typically see these days. The songs on this album were recorded live, but you'd never know when listening to it. The band played together in one room while their amps were in different rooms. Walters used to love watching old documentaries where Motown bands would record together in one room. “I felt really really lucky to be able to do that for our first full-length album,” Walters says. So, why don’t you feel really really lucky and see them yourself at the Sail Inn in Tempe? Gospel Claws’ CD release show is tonight with The Go-Reflex and Becky Lee. Show is 21+.

TEDxPhoenix is the Phoenix metro’s opportunity to help make our local and global communities a better place through big ideas worth sharing and doing.

— Tomas Carrillo, TEDxPhoenix Curator

In addition to witnessing these great talks, attendees will also be treated to the most TED-like event that Arizona has seen so far. Organizers work around the clock to make sure that attendees get to experience the electric atmosphere of TED from the TED-like badges all the way down to the free coffee, snacks, drinks and gift bags. In addition, attendees get to enjoy a free catered lunch in Civic Space Park. All of this is not being done to simply pamper attendees, but to promote collaboration and the exchange of ideas. This is an event focused on ideas worth sharing, spreading and doing! Tickets for the event run $50 and are first come, first served, so once they run out, they're gone! In addition, all proceeds go toward paying for event costs, as TEDxPhoenix is a not-for-profit event run by unpaid volunteers. If $50 seems high, consider that it's less than 1% of the cost of the TED Conference and less than half the cost of most local conferences. TICKETS: http://tedxphoenix.ticketleap.com/tedxphoenix-2010/ We hope you will join us for TEDxPhoenix 2010 and take part in an event that is quickly becoming a global laboratory for the spreading of ideas, as well as becoming part of a global revolution in education.

About TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, not-for-profit, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At TEDx events, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including TEDxPhoenix, are self-organized independent events operated under license from TED.

About TEDxPhoenix

x = independently organized event TEDxPhoenix is a not-for-profit community organized and run event. A team of volunteers plans and stages the event, and support is sought through donations from local Valley businesses and organizations.

(season opener) 10/26/2010 @ Portland, 7 p.m., My45 10/28/2010 @ Utah, 7:30 p.m., TNT Last year, when I did my West Preview for the Suns Spot, I picked the Suns to finish third. Well, sort of. Basically, I just gave a mini-breakdown of what teams I believed to be toward the top of the Western Conference and how the Suns compared to them. With the 2010-2011 season just mere days away, it’s time to do the same this year. First, let me start by saying the Suns will make the playoffs. Unless Phoenix suffers multiple, lengthy injuries, they’re definitely in the top eight out West, no question about that. Lots of people around the league and locally are saying the Suns will struggle and be lucky to be the eighth seed, with most figuring them to miss the postseason altogether. Those people are wrong. This team is too talented and too deep to miss the playoffs.

[caption id="attachment_10184" align="aligncenter" width="623" caption="Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images"][/caption] Where the Suns will finish seeding wise is where things get difficult. The West should be a very tight race again this year. As much as I hate to say it, barring any major injury to Kobe Bryant, the Lakers will finish with the best record in the West. After that, everything is up for grabs. The Suns could finish as high as number two. I honestly believe that. If they gel early, this team can be very lethal. The Oklahoma Thunder have become the fun pick — the one most are picking to finish in the two spot, or at least contend for it. They could. They might. I don’t know that they’re quite there yet. Kevin Durant is certainly a top-three player in the Association and can carry a team; I’m just not sure they’ll be that much improved to make that big of a leap. Lots of people are excited about the Dallas Mavericks and I’m not sure why. They’ll probably have a solid regular season but fold early in postseason play. The acquisition of Tyson Chandler is an OK one, but the team is probably best with Brendan Haywood on the floor. Chandler’s numbers have continued to go down, and it’s safe to say he’ll get injured at some point. Utah and Portland are tough to gauge. You can never count the Jazz out with Jerry Sloan coaching, but for some reason they just don’t concern me. Sure, they’ve had a great preseason, but it’s just that — preseason. If healthy, the Trail Blazers could make a run for the number two seed, but odds are they finish somewhere in the four-to-seven range, as the injury bug always seems to find those guys. The last two teams I expect to round out the West’s top eight are San Antonio and Denver (maybe). The Spurs could probably finish the regular season higher, but that’s just not their style. This is probably their last season to make any real noise with the current Duncan-Manu-Parker-led team, but I wouldn’t expect any of that until playoff time. They could still coast and finish in the upper four, but I expect them to finish five to seven. The Nuggets are a team that has a ton of question marks. If they keep Carmelo Anthony, I would expect them to make the playoffs for sure, but still be in the lower half. If they trade Anthony, which odds say they will, they’ll probably struggle and fight for the eighth seed with the likes of the New Orleans Hornets and Houston Rockets. So, there you have it: the Suns Spot mini-breakdown. Not saying exactly where I think the Suns will finish, but if things go as well as I think they can, then they’ll be better than the Utahs, Portlands, San Antonios and Denvers of the world and compete with the Thunder and Mavericks. If they struggle, then who knows. Either way, we’ll start to find out come Tuesday.

Watch the Suns for free

Tomorrow, Saturday October 23, the Suns will host their annual open scrimmage to the public at US Airways Center. The scrimmage is free of charge and starts at 10 a.m. In addition to getting a glimpse at the new-look Suns, fans will have the opportunity to take advantage of some great ticket deals at the box office.]]> 10181 0 0 0 3397 http://www.facebook.com/newzzero 0 199 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/10/22/macy-gray-third-eye-blind-headline-cityscape-grand-opening/ Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:56:05 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10193 Macy Gray and – just announced – Third Eye Blind headline the weekend's festivities.

Every week, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Jesse R. Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 10.16.10 I firmly believe an establishment shouldn't receive five stars unless it is perfect. I have tried to find some reason to knock off a star. Maybe even label it 5 but call it 4.5. But I just can't. This guy has it figured out. What first struck me about Centurion is the price. If you want to show up and drop $50 a plate, sure, Chef Eric will oblige you and steer you to the lamb. But I've never left this place and left hungry for more than $10. His lunch selection includes paninis, salads, the best risotto I've ever had and mind-blowing burgers. (Zinburger? Who's that?) Do you like wine? Come prepared to have the perfect pairing with whatever you order. You won't be sorry. The service has never been short of phenomenal. Prepare to tip big. This is my new favorite place in the Downtown area. Get here as soon as you can! Centurion is located at 214 W.

At the intersection of Fillmore Street and 7th Avenue, I found the source of the exciting smells: Azteca Bakery & Mexican Fast Food.

Once I was comfortably inside their four walls, the scent of freshly prepared tortillas enveloped me. I was instantly in a hurry to order something delicious. Also, I was a little sad that I could not take a heaping pile of fresh tortillas with me. I will have to visit when I am heading straight home next time. I ordered a #4 (a tostada and a beef taco with rice and beans), since it sounded like a pretty complete meal. I was not going to go hungry this afternoon. No sir. Once my scrumptious bounty was laid before me, I was certain that once again my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Alas, I dove in anyway, intent on finishing, even if it meant I would have to unbuckle in the restaurant. The seasoned, shredded beef in the taco righteously danced on my palate. Layered with beans, lettuce and cheese, the stacked tostada was easily one of the best I have consumed. Per usual, I rifled through the main courses while the delicious sides laid there awaiting their turn. On this day, no morsel was safe. I raked the remnants of the dish into my expanding gullet. That was a savory number for sure. So, when you find yourself west of Central and ravenous hunger overtakes you, there is a quick, easy and extremely filling spot that you must try: Azteca. Azteca is located at 416 N. 7th Ave. — 602.253.5864 ]]> 10231 0 0 0 3435 http://www.phxrailfood.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/11/04/cheap-eats/ Fri, 05 Nov 2010 01:30:51 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10121 Coronado La Condesa Gourmet Taco Shop Mexican/Tacos With a deep lineup of some of the most crave-worthy tacos in the city, La Condesa is a casual taqueria with updated leanings. From the hefty dogfish shark tacos, to their notoriously tender cochinita phibil tacos, the small central city eatery has proven itself delicious to a diverse stream of patrons. Along with one of the best salsa bars in a wide radius — it actually demands that you browse it — La Condesa manages to straddle that fine line between authenticity adherence and casual-eater accessibility very successfully.

Besides the bi-weekly farmers market held each Saturday morning and Wednesday evening in the adjacent parking lot, the indoor Urban Grocery & Wine Bar also carries an efficient selection of the reliably sourced and primarily organic. From local, seasonal produce, meats and dairy products, free-range eggs and baked goods, to a rotating menu of ready-made foods to go, the market has become a valued neighborhood asset to its surrounding community. Tuesday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., 14 E. Pierce St. (602) 254.1799 Tammie Coe Cakes and MJ Breads Bakery/Pastry Shop Skilled baker turned local baking luminary Tammie Coe, along her partner, MJ Coe, serve some of the best bread and pastries in the city at the Downtown branch of their popular enterprise.

Baiz Market Al-Hana Restaurant Middle Eastern A Middle Eastern must-try. Off the beaten track but traveled to from locations citywide, Baiz is an international specialty foods market that maintains its no-nonsense value with pride. The tiny Al-Hana restaurant — or sectioned sitting area amidst the market — has become a popular lunchtime anchor for those looking for the best in Middle-Eastern comfort foods. From chicken shawarma and lamb kabobs, to freshly baked pita and hummus so addicting you’ll surely need to stop the intake to save space for their voluminous selection of sought-after Middle Eastern pastries, Baiz Market is a hidden gem by the most honest of definitions. 523 N. 20th St. (602) 252.8996 Pro’s Ranch Market/Tradiciones Mexican/Grocery More indoor Mexican bazaar than simple supermarket, this popular chain offers quality, variety and authenticity on the cheap. From the roving mariachi to the bright desert colors, Mexican is not only on the menu, it’s also on the agenda. For fast bites, the store’s one-stop “food court” is the ultimate draw. Selling fresh, ready-made goods like homemade tortillas, ceviche, tortas and pastries, as well as specialty daily-mixed refreshments from a dedicated beverage bar, it’s manufactured frenzy worth getting lost in. Have a little extra time? The market’s adjacent, sit-down restaurant, Tradiciones, is equally well worth the visit for tried-and-true, inexpensive Mexican eats that satisfy. 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. 1602 E. Roosevelt St. (602) 254.6676

Melrose

Fry Bread House Southwestern/Native American A secret still largely unearthed, one of Phoenix’s best kept gems is this humble institution to that special fried bread we all crave so dearly but rarely seem to eat that often. From the savory kind, to the oh-so sweet, Fry Bread House continues to serve its eponymous specialty with no remorse to over indulgence. In addition to the famous fry bread tacos and standard fry bread-plus-toppings offerings, the unfussy eatery also serves a list of house stews, traditional burritos (rolled in flour tortillas) and tamales. Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. 4140 N. 7th Ave. (602) 351.2345

Midtown

Gallo Blanco Café Mexican/Contemporary Notoriously focused La Grande Orange alum Doug Robson brings his independent culinary stamp to the Midtown dining landscape — with fantastic results. Located inside the trendy Clarendon Hotel, Gallo Blanco serves an efficient and refreshingly inexpensive menu of regional Mexican fare with a Mexico City bent. Nearly all ingredients are either made in house or sourced from reputable local purveyors. The modern, funky eatery offers an intelligent selection of starters, salads, a mélange of tortas and tacos (options include pork, beef, fish and vegetarian), as well as other selected house specialties. Equally as impressive, Gallo Blanco also presents a small all-day breakfast menu. 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday to Saturday. 401 W. Clarendon Ave. (602) 274.4774 Lenny’s Burger Shop American/Burgers A Phoenix area institution since the 1980s, Lenny’s lively Midtown branch of the popular local burger chain proves you don’t need to sacrifice quality entirely when craving a greasy burger and fries. This popular weekday lunchtime pit stop, Lenny’s posts a simple menu of the basics, done well: burgers, hot dogs, fries and milkshakes. Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. 2825 N. Central Ave. (602) 263.8700

South Phoenix

Carolina’s Mexican This homegrown institution since the 1960s — a temple to what true Sonoran-style Mexican food can taste like if done exceptionally well — Carolina’s original outpost just south of Downtown continues to draw locals and tourists alike in steady numbers. The infamous, practically eulogized tortillas, made daily in house, warrant a visit alone, if for nothing else: to stock up. The red sauce makes others bow, and their Oaxaca burrito (potatoes, chorizo, oh my) is indeed a crave-inducing offense. Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 1202 E. Mohave St. (602) 252.1503 Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles Southern/Soul Chicken and waffles, done exceptionally. Lo-Lo’s continues to prove it’s of the best examples of the popular food combination anywhere, and it’s right in our own back yard. The original eatery, just due south of Downtown, continues to serve the masses with humble airs, leaving patrons full and already plotting their next return. Though fried chicken is king, Lo-Lo’s also serves equally comforting Southern standouts like mac and cheese, grits, fried okra, and yes, red velvet cake. Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday to Saturday 9 to 9, Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 10 W. Yuma St. (602) 340.1304

Uptown

That’s a Wrap Eclectic/Wraps Tiny and efficient, That’s a Wrap serves an extensive menu of interesting wraps, as well as a smattering of salads and rice bowls. Great for a fast bite that won’t empty the wallet, the cheerful, fast-casual café emphasizes the healthy, but doesn’t stress it — satisfaction and flavor are essentials here. Throw in a glass of berry lemonade with your order, made fresh in house, and you can see why this place continues to be a popular neighborhood lunchtime layover. Monday to Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday to Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. 800 E. Camelback Rd.

For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 915 E. Pierce St., Garfield Historic District The 1910s saw the central streets of today's Garfield Historic District boom, fueled by the extension of a neighborhood streetcar system that cut through Pierce Street (known as Desert Street at the time of plotting) from 7th Street to a stop at 10th Street. Neighboring McKinley, Fillmore and Taylor streets all experienced a surge in development as the line extension neared completion, but no street was as architecturally significant as Pierce, where a new breed of pyramidal cottages — compact, square-shaped homes with angular roofs — began to sprout up. By 1910, nearly 20 pyramidal cottages spanned Pierce from 7th to 9th streets. Expansion crept one block east to 10th street for the next five or so years. One such exception to the quaint size of homes in this row is the Grand Pyramid House, a roomy Colonial Revival that ignored the typically modest fashion of the time. Built c. 1900, it was one of the pioneers of this soon bustling neighborhood intersection. Its defining characteristic today is its fire-engine red front door located off of a welcoming porch covered by a wide eave overhang. Inside, original wood floors remain, hearkening a time when this was one of the most popular sections of Phoenix. The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 before a slick remodeling a few years ago. Amazing what a few touch-ups will do!

Just a week away from turning 20, Andrews is extremely modest about her music career even though she’s graced the cover of Phoenix New Times and is buddy-buddies with Jimmy Eat World. You know, just your typical teenage life. A born-and-raised desert rat, Andrews started singing Billboard hits at 5. “I suppose music has always been in me,” she says. At 14, she started playing shows, and three years later convinced her mother she was ready to hit the road. “I was ready to get out of Phoenix and play shows and see the West Coast,” Andrews recalls. Now, she can be considered a touring veteran. “I think I’ve lost count,” Andrews says of how many tours she’s done. “I’m going to go with eight or nine times, leaning on 10.” Andrews and New Mexico-based folksters Pioneers of Prime Time TV tour together frequently, mostly on the West Coast. This past summer, they funded their entire tour playing corners of touristy areas with an open guitar case on the ground. Armed with instruments and a six-input battery-operated amp, they played for families and anyone who would stop, listen and lend some change. “Sometimes, you’d make 10 bucks and other times 100 bucks,” Andrews says of the experience. Around the same time she started touring, River Jones, who quickly offered to record and release Andrews' debut album, came a knocking. “It was a recipe of an art gallery, a new song and a new label that needed an artist,” Andrews says of how she got signed. So, what exactly makes Andrews different from other folk artists with a guitar in hand? It's her beautiful, soul-filled voice. Move over, Jewel and Tori Amos. Andrews' sound is mature beyond her years — particularly on her new third album on River Jones Music Label, For One I Knew. “The new record was recorded in a plethora of different studios of friends of mine,” Andrews says. The album has actually been finished for quite some time — even before last year's Painter’s Hands and a Seventh Son was released, she was already scheduling studio time to begin For One I Knew. New year, same thing: Album four is already being tracked.

For One I Knew is currently streaming online, and digital download cards go on sale for $8 this evening at Andrews' show at Stinkweeds. Physical copies will appear on store shelves in January.

[caption id="attachment_10283" align="aligncenter" width="543" caption="Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images"][/caption] With just two games in the books for the 2010-11 season, the Phoenix Suns are sitting at 1-1. Not too bad for a team that most thought would start 0-3 with the first two games coming in two of the tougher places to play in the NBA. In both Tuesday's loss to Portland and Thursday's win at Utah, the Suns showed positive signs. Hakim Warrick has looked good in both games, especially against Utah, when he had a filthy dunk and was immediately a trending topic on Twitter. Steve Nash and Jason Richardson have been fantastic, and the Suns' shooting hasn't been a problem like it was in the preseason. There were also quite a few negatives, mostly coming in Tuesday's loss to Portland. Phoenix was crushed on the boards and turned the ball over way too much. Both those things improved drastically on Thursday and should hopefully continue to get better. But enough about the games we've already played. As much as I'd love to go on about what we've already seen, there's a bigger, much more daunting task at hand: tonight's game against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. That's right, the Suns' home opener comes on the second night of a back-to-back against the Lakers. The consensus seems to be that the Lakers will smash the Suns tonight, being that the Suns are playing the second night of a back-to-back with travel, whereas the Lakers have been resting in Phoenix. Factor that in with the Lakers' size (although starting center Andrew Bynum is still recovering from off-season surgery) and a Suns team trying to gel and get their chemistry, and the consensus may have an argument. With that being said though, I'm going to have to disagree. Tonight's game is going to be a close one. The Suns are going to come out fired up. Regardless if it's a back-to-back or not won't matter. This is the Phoenix home opener, so the excitement is going to be through the roof, especially for the new guys. Warrick, Josh Childress and Hedo Turkoglu will all be playing their first real games in front of the Phoenix fans, and you can bet they're going to want to impress. And they will. Warrick is who I'm really excited to see tonight, and you should be as well (did I mention his nasty dunk in Utah?). Coming off the Utah game and all the Twitter love he received, you know he's going to be amped. Coach Alvin Gentry will surely try and get him more time with Nash, considering how well he's working in the pick-and-roll. We need more than the players to step up tonight, however. I'm looking at you, Planet Orange. We need you. We need you loud. We need you on your feet. We need you to be ORNG. Most importantly, we need you to hush all those rude (and I call them rude based on lots and lots of experience), annoying, Lakers fans. Just drown them out. We can do it! There will be more of us than there will be of them. We need to be up and screaming at the top of our lungs the entire time. I'm counting on you all. I'll get us started: Beat LA, Beat LA, Beat LA, Beat LA, Beat LA!

I've got four kids (7, 5, 3 and 2), and I wanted something that would allow me to tow all of them. I'd been to a few other shops, and they were only able to put together solutions that would allow me to tow three of them. They recommended a Kona Ute (which they sell for $150 less than MSRP) and they added on a second handlebar under the peddler's seat. My oldest sits on the rack and holds onto the handlebars, my second sits behind him on the rack and holds onto him like a motorcycle passenger. The two youngest sit in a quick release trailer/jogging stroller. Not only did they meet my needs, but they were also very cool. Erik (owner) and Aaron (manager) were very accommodating and let me test ride the bike and explained terms I wasn't familiar with. They showed me how to do maintenance, how to quickly detach and collapse the trailer, etc. They quickly installed slimed tires and the optional third gear quickly and happily.

My appetite was considerable this fine day, and a quick jaunt to the Melrose Curve was in order. Since I’m not much for shopping, eating was definitely my modus operandi.

The Fry Bread House is known all over for its delectable fry bread. I figured that I could be a good judge of just how good it is. I moseyed through the doors and immediately had a hankerin’ for whatever was making those sweet smells. My eyes landed on the Joedd Special — a bowl of red chile stew and fry bread. The service was extremely friendly, and my server affirmed my decision by actually suggesting it before I ordered it. Obviously, the Joedd Special is pretty popular. The first bites of the red chile stew were heavenly. The shredded beef bites were tender and seasoned to perfection. The spicy broth was savory indeed; my tastebuds were delighted to be coated in it. As for the fry bread, it was crispy and soft in all the right ways. Each bite held surprisingly strong flavor and a delicate texture. This visit to a Phoenix institution only confirmed my suspicions: Dear reader, I can devour mountains of fry bread. Given that the fry bread covered in cinnamon and sugar looked extremely delicious, I will return as soon as I have room for dessert.

Since I was keen on what I was searching for this week, only one other factor could sway my decision: presence of beer. Sun Up Brewing Co. presented just the right word to peak my interest: brew. At first review of the parking lot, one would figure that this place was hopping, but upon entrance, it looked like the regular scene at Cheers. As soon as my laurels rested in the booth, I was submitting my order for an amber ale. I followed this righteous decision with my order for the wordy item of the evening, the Armadillo Red Buffalo Sloppy Joe. The amber ale was hoppier than normal, but it was beer, so how could I complain?

I have to admit that the redneck in me was excited to taste something that sounded like it came off of the RoadKill Café’s menu. Sided with Brewhouse Mac & Ale Cheese, the sloppy joe arrived looking classy. I was elated to have it in my grasp. Unfortunately, it held all the flavor of a Manwich. I, admittedly, was expecting large taste out of such a verbosely named sandwich. The best part of the meal was the Brewhouse Mac & Ale Cheese. It was creamy, delicious and riddled with diced green chiles. It held the surprise that I expected from the sloppy joe. Sun Up Brewing does offer some tasty, hoppy beers, but the food might not be its strong suit. Go drinkin' and leave happy. Sun Up Brewing is located at 322 E.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the second floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 724 E. Portland St., Garfield Historic District It's easy to overlook the history of East Portland Street, with development inching further east from 7th Street, encroaching the fabric of the Garfield neighborhood. Yet in direct contrast to the shiny new Portland 38 condos is the quaint Neo-Colonial Revival home built by L.E. Rich when this neighborhood was not even a neighborhood, but a swath of largely undeveloped farmland northeast of the Phoenix town site. Rich, a Valley rancher, started constructing the home around 1898, and moved in soon after. Brick with a stone foundation, the stucco wall sheathing meshes nicely with many homes on Portland and surrounding streets in North Garfield. The truncated hip roof, fixed up with new asphalt tiles, features a boxed cornice hanging above a modest entry porch. Though the home retains many of its original qualities from the 19th century, a rear addition and various window treatments were later added. Significant as it is that a home of this age is still standing in Phoenix, it is of special interest to Garfield area history — it is now only one of two remaining pre-1900 homes in the Brill's Addition, a patch of land from modern day 7th to 12th streets and McDowell Road to Roosevelt Street. The southern chunk of this land now encompasses North Garfield. Originally surveyed and recorded in 1887, the Brill's Addition was a 15-block annex on the northeastern edge of town. Frederick Brill, a Wickenburg miner and rancher, moved to Phoenix in 1885, building his home smack dab in the middle of the modern 7th Street and McDowell intersection. After residences sprouted up in the early 1890s, Brill resurveyed and platted the land to include Brill Street, then a path that led to his home, today a neighborhood street that heads east from 7th Street to Good Samaritan Medical Center and beyond.

If you love beach-pop music, then Tuesday is your day. Best Coast, a three-piece indie pop band from Los Angeles made up of Bethany Cosentino (singer, songwriter), Bobb Bruno (multi-instrumentalist) and Ali Koehler (drummer), fits the perfect “let’s grab a towel and go to the beach” image. Their first track and single off of Crazy for You, “Boyfriend,” proves a fun intro to the 13-track CD that will have you humming to yourself, “I wish he was my boyfriend.” (We won't judge you.) Sonny Smith, Kelley Stoltz, Tahlia Harbour and Ryan Browne make up the calm, busted-up beach sound of Sonny & the Sunsets — a perfect pairing with Best Coast. Surprise, surprise, they are also from California. Download “Too Young to Burn” for a listen. For the more mild listeners, if your iPod is filled with Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire, perhaps, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s is your choice. The eight-piece Indiana band has released five records since 2006 and has toured nonstop the whole time. Like fine wine, they’ve only gotten better with age. Richard Edwards and Andy Fry decided to recruit a cellist, pianist, trumpet player, two drummers and electric bass and create a band with one of the longest names in the game right now. Buzzard, their latest album, has been doing just that — buzzing with good reviews and thumbs up. So, you could sit at home and watch episodes of boring prime time TV, or you could go to a rockin' show or two. Just saying, your choice.

[caption id="attachment_10486" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Hakim Warrick's play has been a bright spot thus far for the Suns. Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images."][/caption]

At 1-3, the Phoenix Suns' record certainly doesn't look too good, however, when considering the four tough teams Phoenix has played so far, the record really isn't all that bad. The Suns have had their problems, sure. The biggest question is how does Hedo Turkoglu fit in with the team, specifically on the offensive side of the ball. Phoenix has also had some bright spots as well; the play of Goran Dragic and Hakim Warrick quickly come to mind. I'll start with Hedo. Coach Alvin Gentry must figure a way to get him going. Through through games, the "Turkish MJ" has been unimpressive to say the least. Turkoglu is averaging eight points, three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes of play. That's not going to cut it for a guy making eight figures. It's more then just Hedo's numbers that are disturbing. It's his effort — it doesn't seem quite there. He's slow on transition and way too hesitant to make a move with the ball. He has the ability to get to the rim against most guys defending him, but he hasn't. He's shown brief flashes of this, but not nearly enough. Against the Spurs on Wednesday, he had Dejuan Blair guarding him and took jump shots. That isn't what Suns fan want to see. I'm certainly not ready to give up on Hedo yet, and I think he'll eventually come around, but a move to the bench may be in order. If anything, a move to the bench may motivate him. He'll get to play with the ball a little more and be a leader of the second unit. In addition, Turkoglu on the bench means Nash gets a solid pick-and-roll option in the starting five in the form of Warrick. Enough of the bad and on to the good. Dragic has been ridiculous so far this season. He's putting up 10 points to go with just under five assists with about two turnovers (a turnover-to-assist ratio of 2.7!) in a mere 15 minutes per game. The only issue there is how few minutes he's playing. Dragic has yet to log 20 minutes in a game, and that's no good. Gentry must find more time for him. I know Steve Nash is a two-time MVP, but at some point you may have to sit him more for the sake of getting Dragic more playing time. I know this may put Gentry in a tough spot, but when Goran is clicking, you have to stick with him. At the very least, the two should get some time together. Good things happened when they shared the floor together last season. I doubt this will be a problem for long, as I fully expect Gentry to begin finding more time for El Dragon, especially with Nash's recent comments on having tired legs at the end of the Spurs game. More playing time early in the game for Goran means a fresher Nash to end games. It's a win-win for the Suns. Finally, I have to mention the play of Warrick. Dude has been solid this year. He's great in the pick-and-roll and fights for rebounds. He has crazy leaping ability and somehow seems to extend the length of his arms. I swear every time he takes off for a dunk he turns into Inspector Gadget. He appears to be too far from the rim but simply shouts, "Go-go gadget arms," and extends his arms to complete the play. His contract is going to turn into a real steal. I'm sure it'll take a little more tinkering from Gentry, but eventually this team will figure things out. The talent is there. The Suns are in good shape. No worries, despite the rough start.

Extending Dudley

I just want to briefly comment on Jared Dudley's contract extension. This was obviously the right move. Dudley clearly wanted to be here, and the Suns wanted to keep him. I'm very impressed with how the Suns front office was able to get this done. Hats off to Lon Babby, Lance Blanks and Robert Sarver — this is a solid move for the future.

This past April, PechaKucha, an event designed as a sounding board for these creative minds lost in the desert sand, arrived in town for the first time. Encouraged by the success of that night, a second event is this Friday evening at Bragg's Pie Factory. PechaKucha, pronounced “peh-chak cha” is Japanese for "chit-chat," meaning the sound of busy conversation going on in a room. Devised in Tokyo in 2003 by architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein as a means for designers to show their work, PechaKucha Nights has become a global phenomenon, with events taking place in 326 cities around the world today. To keep the momentum, a very efficient shotgun-style presentation format called “20×20” was created. That’s 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide; a total of six minutes, forty seconds. Stand up, tell the world what you got, and then sit the hell down. This format demands that presenters be precise, concise and engage audiences with only their most compelling work and ideas. No prolonged speeches, no endless PowerPoint slides and no bullet points! PechaKucha PHX is an event where creatives of all disciplines can share their latest projects, newest curiosities, insights, aspirations and flashes of brilliance — to show what they’ve done, are doing or are psyched-up about doing next.

Every week, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Erin K. Paradise Valley, AZ Four-star rating 09.09.10 Went here on a Sunday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Glad we made reservations, as even on a Sunday night it was a packed house. Here is what I liked:

• The food, appetizers, pasta dishes and warm bread (and the tomato/bruschetta-like topping they give you with it).
• The fact the owner/chef is present and wants to ensure you enjoy your meal.
• Good location, plenty of parking.
• Value, prices are in line with what I would expect to pay for the quality and type of food you get.

Here is what was just OK:

• Service — our server was nice enough, but he got distracted chatting with other employees and customers and often forgot to check back with us to refill waters, remove dirty dishes, etc. On the plus side, he knew the menu and made excellent recommendations.
• Atmosphere — I know they are doing the best with the building they have to work with, but I felt a bit like I was in a remodeled pancake house trying to be an Italian restaurant. The one exception would be the bar area, which was more elegant/traditional.
• The deserts — we had several, and I would say mediocre on all, maybe even bland. That being said, however, every other part of the meal was delicious.

From November 11 to 28, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom will take the stage at the newly renovated Herberger Theater in Downtown Phoenix. Ma Rainey broke into show business when she was 13 years old, and began her career as a recording artist in the early 1920s, according to ATC’s play guide. She became famous across the country and earned the title, “The Mother of the Blues” due to her influence on the development of the blues as popular music. Her songs were soulful tales about the life of African Americans during the 1920s, telling stories of the pain of jealousy, poverty, sexual abuse and the loneliness of sharecroppers, the play guide states. The performance takes place in 1927, when Ma Rainey, played by well-known actor and recording artist Jevetta Steele, is preparing to record her jazz music. Upon entering the studio, she quarrels with a battling quartet of musicians, a stingy producer and her manager who is simply trying to keep the recording session on track, the website says. Written by Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning playwright August Wilson, the play shows the audience a time when even the most renowned singer of her day had to fight for respect. Because the theatre is a nonprofit and tickets are not meant to to cover total operating costs, they will always be kept within reach of all members of the community, according to the website. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone or at the door, and prices start at $30. The play opens with preview shows tonight at 7:30 p.m. and tomorrow at 8 p.m. before the grand opening on Saturday at 8 p.m. The Herberger Theater is located at 222 E. Monroe St. Downtown (light rail stations at 3rd St & Washington/Jefferson).

Local concert promoter President Gator has seen the birth of music greats such as Vampire Weekend, MGMT and Beach House. He has booked over a thousand shows. Easy. But the big question is who is this person everyone calls President Gator? Jeremiah J. Gratza is President Gator and director of operations for Stateside Presents. So far this year, Gratza and Stateside Presents have booked over 300 bands. (That’s pretty intense.) Gratza has come a long way since President Gator was born nine years ago. “I booked [shows] because I was managing a local band at a time,” Gratza recalls. “I was finding it really difficult to get them gigs.” After helping book California pop-punk band hellogoodbye, they signed with Drive-Thru Records and the label asked Gratza for help. It wasn’t long before other bands starting calling Gratza for shows. “When I first started, I just called my company President Gator,” Gratza says. “It was just one name that could cover anything I wanted.” It wasn’t long until Gratza himself was known as President Gator. About two years ago, Gratza teamed up with Stateside Presents founder Charlie Levy. “I do all of my shows through Stateside, but starting in January I’m probably getting rid of the name President Gator,” Gratza reveals. Currently, the company books shows in Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM, but Gratza thinks they may venture further out in 2011. Gratza stays extremely busy with the hectic day-to-day shows. He thinks he had two days off in October; the rest were busy with shows. With a schedule like that, how can someone differentiate one show from another? Well, at first, Gratza started collecting flyers, but then the stack grew too large to manage. “I collect silk-screened limited-edition posters,” Gratza says. Among his collection: Vampire Weekend at Modified (where only 30 people showed up), Fleet Foxes at Modified and Beach House at Modified (both signed). “It’s really cool to see these bands that we’ve booked early on in their career when they were really tiny go to a place where they can play for more than 1,500 people,” Gratza says. Along with posters, he has a collection of band tattoos. On his neck, he has a Jimmy Eat World tattoo. Gratza credits the Mesa band as one of his high school favorites. Now Gratza has worked with the band and developed ties. “When I was 16 years old, I would have never thought in a million years I would be saying that [Jimmy Eat World's] Jim Adkins is an acquaintance of mine,” Gratza gushes. Gratza also has Cursive, Alkaline Trio and Get Up Kids tattoos as well. And yes, he has met and hung out with all those bands. For a guy who has put on a show in nearly every room in Arizona, it's refreshing to hear that a Midtown haunt is his favorite: The Rhythm Room. “You feel like you’re actually taking a break from your day and experiencing something when you go to The Rhythm Room,” Gratza says. Yet after all the shows, Gratza doesn't think that he’ll be getting tired of his job anytime soon. “I’m able to bring artists that I enjoy to town and share that music with an entire city,” Gratza explains. And, as music changes throughout the years, so does the promoting. In 2011, expect something no other promoter is doing right now in Arizona: a Stateside Presents app. “It will automatically send you updates when we announce a show, when tickets go on sale and when a show sells out,” Gratza says. The app aims to be a music lover’s best friend, because we all know how it feels to miss that show you were dying to attend. With all of the changes in music and technology, it's refreshing that President Gator and Stateside Presents are the ones stepping along with us and bringing great bands to Phoenix.]]> 10556 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/11/12/suns-spot-making-early-impact/ Fri, 12 Nov 2010 17:21:47 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10568 Previous week's games 11/05/2010 SUNS 123, Grizzlies 118 11/07/2010 SUNS 118, Hawks 114 11/08/2010 Grizzlies 109, SUNS 99 Upcoming week's games 11/12/2010 SUNS vs Kings, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 11/14/2010 SUNS @ Lakers, 7:30 p.m., My45 11/15/2010 SUNS vs Nuggets, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 11/17/2010 SUNS @ Heat, 5 p.m., My45 11/18/2010 SUNS @ Magic, 6 p.m., TNT

[caption id="attachment_10580" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Could Hakim Warrick be the Suns' starting power forward soon? Photo by Joe Murphy/Getty Images."][/caption] Seven games into the 2010-11 season and the Phoenix Suns are a game below .500 with a record of 3-4. This has caused some people to overreact — so much that ridiculous trade speculation involving Steve Nash has even sprung up, granted none of that talk has come from the Suns (or any other NBA franchise for that matter), but it has come up regardless. I’m not going to talk about any of that. The Suns are going to be fine. If you’ve watched any of the Suns' first few games, the bright spots are there. This team has lots of potential. One of the brightest spots of this early season has been the impressive play of newcomer Hakim Warrick. The season is very young, but it’s already clear to see that Warrick is the perfect fit for the Suns. He’s long, quick and extremely athletic. Plus, he loves to dunk — something all Suns fans love to see. His game is tailor-made for Alvin Gentry’s offense and Warrick is getting the chance to prove that. The former Syracuse standout has been solid off the bench. Warrick is putting up 12 points a game on 62% shooting from the field while pulling down five boards a game. He leads the team in free throws, highlight reels and facial hair. “Helicopter," as he’s sometimes referred to as, is excellent in the pick-and-roll, which has been the Suns' bread-and-butter play for years. The chemistry is already starting to develop between Warrick and Nash and fellow point guard Goran Dragic, and is sure to get better as the season progresses and the team continues to gel. Early rumblings from fans have suggested that Warrick should be moved into the starting lineup to replace another newcomer, Hedo Turkoglu. This could be a good move, but I think it may be a little early in the season for a change like this. The bench is playing great and Warrick is a huge part of that success. Either way, I doubt this matters much to Warrick. The way he carries himself, you can tell he’s a great team player that is willing to do whatever it takes to help the Suns pick up some victories. Warrick is quickly becoming a fan favorite with Suns fans not only because of all the posters he’s making out of defenders on the court, but also through his interaction with fans on Twitter. He’s not quite Jared Dudley (yet), but he’s quite interactive with fans and seems to be very down to earth. He’s even been known to discuss his frustration while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops with some of his followers. Warrick will continue to win fans over with his impressive play the more they get to see him. He is a prime example of why Suns fans need not worry: He’s part of a core group of guys that are only going to get better the more than play with each other. I’m excited. All other Suns fans should be as well. Be sure to follow Hakim Warrick on Twitter: @hdubb21.]]> 10568 0 0 0 3532 http://www.facebook.com/newzzero 0 199 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/11/16/clarendon-ben-bethel-downtown-suggestions/ Tue, 16 Nov 2010 21:43:08 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10594 Ben Bethel, owner and GM of the Clarendon Hotel, recently offered up the below suggestions to elevate Downtown Phoenix to the next level.

Streetlamps to immediately define the neighborhood, let's get some funds together and purchase streetlamps for the high-traffic areas: Roosevelt Street from 7th Avenue to 7th Street, then extend to 15th Avenue to 16th Street, as well as 7th Avenue and 7th Street from Roosevelt to McDowell. If you check sites like alibaba.com and buy direct from manufacturers, the solar-powered LED streetlamps range from $200-$1,200 each — there are no trenches to dig or streets to rip up, they don't need wiring, the bulbs last 20 years and need no maintenance, and once installed you can pull the copper from the old streetlamps and sell it and pay for a nice portion of this project. Here's a link to the streetlamps — there are literally thousands to choose from. When will the farmers market move to 1st Street from Hance Park to Fillmore, or at least Roosevelt to Fillmore to start? The current parking lot is a lawsuit waiting to happen — I see people tripping over parking blocks, potholes and uneven pavement while also nearly strangling themselves on low-hanging tarps that are literally as short as me — 5'8". One small spark and you could have people screaming in pain while turning into plastic army men. The current lot could be used for parking for the market, while the street could space the booths further apart — and when booths are separated by about two booths' worth of dead space, sales for merchants can be 300-500% higher, as people can capture someone and spend time with them. The more time spent with someone before they move on to another booth, the greater chance they will buy something. The higher sales bring in more merchants and better quality ones at that. I know 1st Street has some improvements coming, but make sure that power is one of them... then you can also have stages set up on the north or south sides of Roosevelt, and the north side of Fillmore as focal points for the market. Newsstand or larger booths (as you would see in Europe or Washington, D.C., or NY or other cities) could become permanent fixtures, ready to open in minutes without all of the set-up and tear-down. This would also help support foot traffic to the businesses along 1st Street and increase sales. The market could become a Saturday and Sunday fixture Downtown. Once the market is taken care of — or at the same time — change First Fridays to an every Friday event. Hey, the stages are there, the booths are there, you'll have plenty of space for entertainers — be it street performers or BMX stunt bikes or whatever. The vendors would be different than the farmers market; this is adaptive reuse at its finest. Once Fridays takes off, expand to Saturdays, but with a more adult focus on the music stages. After these take off, get vendors to come in from Monday to Thursdays — make this the hip, stylish, fun, funky, unique street flea market that all cities die to have — art, jewelry, clothing, furnishings, food, flowers/plants, etc. This is the stuff that makes Florence/Rome/London/Paris/Madrid/NYC amazing cities to live in. This could draw more conventions to town, more hotel rooms, more visitors, more tax revenues.

This would make Phoenix interesting. This would make us stand out. This would give people something to do. This would span two Metro stations — get off at Van Buren, walk the market, get back on at Roosevelt after having lunch/dinner in the area. This would define neighborhoods. This would put us on the map. And it would be cheaper than setting up a single First Friday — after all, First Friday has to be set up then broken down. Here, you'd just be setting up. PS: While we're at it, how can I get involved in building a few 500-unit apartment buildings Downtown? We need residents, especially if we don't want to see CityScape repeat the history of Park Central, Mercado, Arizona Center and Collier Center. Without residents there can't be life after 5 p.m. Here's what I think we could do, albeit with a bit more style: Build five 500-unit projects in a very short time frame — I don't think we'd be able to build them in six days, but here's proof that it's possible. Thanks for listening to my rants/ideas; the opportunity is there, the execution of the ideas for 1st Street is easy and couldn't make more sense. This could start January 1, and everyone would look great for doing it. Start it as a six-month trial, see how it goes and see if there's demand. If the demand is high, invest in shade structures and outdoor cooling systems and keep it year-round.

On the eve of the Fifth Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference I got some disturbing news tonight. Ilana Lowery, long time editor of the Business Journal of Phoenix tweeted out that Mike Ratner, owner of Tom's Tavern in downtown Phoenix had passed away from cancer. This made me cry. Mike opened that restaurant when I was working with Trammell Crow Company to reinvigorate downtown. Trammell Crow had just built One Renaissance and Two Renaissance, downtown buildings that were to be centerpieces of the new downtown. Mike and I became friends, and I helped him market the restaurant not once, but many times. He was the quintessential entrepreneur who never gave up. He raised a loud voice to decry injustices that affected his business: street closings, light rail construction, taxes, new projects that cannibalized existing businesses,--anything that endangered his baby. He was an old time restaurateur who greeted his guests himself every day at lunch time and seated them personally. The Mayor ate there (or rather, a succession of mayors), the Governor, the legislature, and the lobbyists. Deals went down at Tom's. Mike's struggle was never to take a lot of money from the restaurant, it was to keep the restaurant alive. He and I would fight to the mat over things like my suggestion to put calorie counts on the menu, or to include lighter items as times changed. He would argue, but he always respected my opinion. Nevertheless, there are no calorie counts to this day. About ten years ago, I told him he had to have a web site, and an email newsletter. He fought me, but he became adept at sending out the newsletter, and even more adept at learning the analytics behind ConstantContact. He worried about how many people opened it, and got upset when the "opens" declined. Then he would call me for a new idea. My last recommendation was Twitter, but I don't think he got there:-) Mike had enormous faith in downtown Phoenix, and during the 2008 recession he and Julian Blum, another friend of mine, opened a real estate office to broker downtown property. I hung my license there in a gesture of support, although I don't really sell real estate. We also started a downtown breakfast lecture series, and did all kinds of promotions. Mike would try anything, and he had boundless energy even after he got cancer. About two months ago he realized he would have to sell the restaurant to take care of his health. In the current environment, buyers for restaurants are scarce. But I am trying with all my heart to make one manifest for Tom's Tavern. Good night Mike. It was a privilege to work with such a pure, dedicated entrepreneur.]]> 10604 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/11/17/fresh-market-get-turkeys/ Wed, 17 Nov 2010 18:00:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10618 Market Updates The Wednesday market will be open during normal hours (4 to 8 p.m.) during the holiday season.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the second floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 763 E. Moreland St., Garfield Historic District As previously noted, the L.E. Rich House is one of only two remaining pre-1900 homes in the Brill's Addition, a tract of land now part of the Garfield neighborhood. The other, slightly older home is the George Hidden House, on the northern end of the same square block. Built in 1896 by Hidden himself, a noted carpenter, laundryman and machinist, it is the neighborhood's premier example of a middle-class Queen Anne structure (a very rare site anywhere in Arizona). Hidden combined his love for Queen Anne architecture with a more neighborhood-approved Colonial Revival style to create the Brill's Addition's most stunning home. Though true to its historic past, the building has been altered slightly several times over the years to accommodate various business tenants. Notably, window framing and glass has been modernized, and a large rear addition was added some years after build-out. The home remains in excellent condition. Perhaps its most unique trait, the mansard roof with gabled dormers peers up to a corbelled brick chimney. Touches like the boxed cornices, wooden shingles and the double-door entrance really make the home stand out. The wraparound veranda, complete with hand-carved wood spindles and lattice details, creates one of the more stunning front façades in all of Central Phoenix. The home was added to the Phoenix Historic Property Register in 1994 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

[caption id="attachment_10692" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Oh No Oh My"][/caption] The pop-indie bands Oh No Oh My and Pomegranates have been rising onto the radar of music magazines with the release of their new albums. Oh No Oh My is a quartet from Austin, TX. Greg Barkley, Joel Calvin, Daniel Hoxmeier and Tim Regan formed the band in 2004. If you’re wondering what they sound like, just think Mumford and Sons meets Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. After gaining a name in their home state, the band toured with Gnarls Barkley and The Flaming Lips and played Lollapalooza and South by Southwest. They released their debut self-titled album in 2006 and are getting ready to release their new album on January 11, 2011. (1/11/11... hmm, I wonder if that was on purpose.) Pomegranates is a four-piece band from Cincinnati. Joey Cook, Issac Karns, Jacob Merritt and Daniel Lyons came together in 2006, but blew up last year with their concept sophomore album, Everyone, Come Outside! They’ve played with Spoon and Peter Bjorn and John, which didn’t hurt their reputation. The band was even on SPIN’s 2010 Mix Tape. They have a slight psychedelic rock feel that meets Cook’s haunting, high-pitched vocals. Their song “50’s” is definitely one to catch on tonight’s set list. The show will be filled with fun, dancey tunes. Catch these bands while they're still playing intimate spaces! Doors are at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Yep, it's just like it sounds: Beautiful, one-of-a-kind sculptures made from yesterday's scraps. Gallery Marsiglia (1018 Grand Ave.), open from 5 to 9:30 p.m., is stuffed with art, of course, but will also feature a networking happy hour from 6:30 to 9 with Anna Weber, a consultant who can show you a thing or two about using technology to the utmost advantage for your small business. Need a little musica? Right up the street is the Paisley Violin (1030 Grand Ave.), which is hosting a live music charity event called "Rock for Remedy!" Music starts at 5 p.m., but stay a while for a beer and one of Paisley's impossibly tasty sandwiches. The Phoenix Fall Space (1023 Grand Ave.), a quiet little gallery across the drag from Paisley, will be open from 6 to 10 p.m. featuring works from Jimi Girdner and Denise Fleisch. Then there's the always edgy Deus Ex Machina gallery (1023 Grand Ave.), showing Michele Bledsoe's "State of Grace" collection from 7 to 10 p.m. A bit further south, step into Jordre Studio (1007 Grand Ave.) from 5 to 10 p.m., where painter Kyle Jordre splatters colors all over nearly every surface in the room. An excellent corner to finish the evening is "Grandevelt" — the highly angular intersection of Grand, 15th Avenue and Roosevelt Street — home to the Kooky Krafts Shop (1500 Grand Ave.), Bikini Lounge (1502 Grand Ave.), Sweets 'n' Beats (1504 Grand Ave.) and The Trunk Space (1506 Grand Ave.), which is hosting a free artist reception with Michael Patterson (6 to 9 p.m.) and some good ole rock 'n' roll featuring Imaginary Colors, starting at 9. Parking is available along any of Grand's side streets. ]]> 10699 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/11/23/sips-grub-stir-fry-viet-kitchen/ Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:20:06 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10703 Viet Kitchen provided a chance to veer from my comfort zone. The paint is virtually still drying on the walls of the place, so that makes it prime time for me to test the waters of their deliciousness. On a stroll through the brisk fall night in Phoenix (it feels nice to type those words), my stomach made up its mind that it wanted something warm and hearty. What can I say? I let him run the show.

Upon trapsing through the door, I was more than ready to devour whatever was making this place smell so yummy. I will admit I had some problems figuring out what to order. I’m not a pro on the Asian cuisine circuit. Admittedly, I played it safe by ordering the House Stir Fry. You may scoff at that selection, but if their stir fry is not good, do you want to eat anything else they have? That’s what I thought. My plate came out piled high with everything the kitchen could throw in there. I had opted for egg noodles as opposed to rice. This dish was like a beautiful symphony composed of beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, broccoli, peppers and onions. This would classify as a dish that had everything but the kitchen sink. They are serious about rocking an impressive-looking dish. This was hands down the best stir fry I have ever eaten. All the vegetables were extremely fresh and succulent. There was not a single bite that I did not enjoy thoroughly. Seasoned perfectly and with just the right amount of spices, this dish might work it’s way into my daily grits-and-gravy rotation. I am more than happy I branched out and hit up Viet Kitchen. I think you would be equally satisfied with your decision. Note: If you need to go to the bathroom, get ready for a mini-adventure. You end up winding through a maze that leads you presumably right off the lobby of the Orpheum Lofts, deep into the heart of the building. It is almost as awesome as it sounds.

Immediately following will be the New Red Bridge dedication and ribbon cutting in the main park. At approximately 11:45 A.M. Vice Mayor Nowakowski and other dignitaries will speak about Encanto Park and then join the Phoenix Children’s Chorus to sing Happy Birthday and bring out the cake.

'Black' is a word that is often associated with terms such as gloomy and dim, and on this Black Friday, Planet Orange is certainly feeling pretty gloomy. Coming off a home loss to the Chicago Bulls this past Wednesday (the worst Suns loss I think I’ve experienced in person), in which the Suns blew a 23-point lead and lost in double overtime, and you can see why it’s tough to be a Suns fan these days. To be honest, the Suns just aren’t playing good basketball right now. They had a four-game road trip in which they were blown out three times and struggled to beat a not-so-good Houston Rockets team. That was followed up by the debacle at home to the Bulls. So, it’s indeed a black Friday here in Phoenix. And I get it. I understand why fans are frustrated, and I’m frustrated, too, but all hope is not lost. If this were February or March, there’d certainly be reason to hit the panic switch; fortunately for the Suns, it’s still November. We’re only 15 games into the 2010-11 NBA season, and unless there’s been some change I’m unaware of, the NBA season is 82 games long. Just relax. It’s far too early to write this team off and start screaming for ridiculous trades. This team is still trying to figure things out. They’ve had a very tough schedule and a few injuries that have slowed the process. We should at least give them a chance to build some chemistry and show us what they’ve got. I said this last week and I’ll continue to say it: This team is going to be fine. They just need time. The schedule is about to ease up a bit and the Suns will have a chance to go on a run and put some wins together. Before the season started we all said if the Suns could make it through November near a .500 record, they’d be in good shape. They're going to do just that. December will be a much better month. If come January this team is still in the same position, then it’ll be time to talk moves, but until then, let’s give this team a chance.

Suns and Fry's team up

This holiday season the Phoenix Suns will be joining forces with Fry's Food Store once again for the sixth annual Phoenix Suns holiday toy drive benefiting St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.

Every week, visit DPJ for a finely crafted, tell-all account of a Downtown spot straight from the experts: the people! Dani C. Gilbert, AZ Four-star rating 10.16.10 Came out to support Amy Donohue, who was part of a comedy show at Doc's. Had never heard of Doc's before, so as any good Yelper would do, I read the reviews. I was a little worried about how the service would be based on the reviews, but figured I'd keep an open mind and see what happened. We got there as the doors opened at 7 and were seated right away. It's a beautiful place; very classy. Service was fast and our server was really nice. I wonder if the service was prompt because we were there so early? Who knows. What I do know is we got our drinks, appetizer and our meals in under 30 minutes. And they checked back often throughout the evening for drink refills. The food was AMAZING. I had this huge baked potato smothered in creole sauce with prawns and roasted veggies. Hubby had chicken in pasta with the same sauce. I wanted to take home a gallon of this sauce so I can cook with it at home. SO good. I'm not sure when we'll be back — it's quite a trek from Gilbert. It's also gets on the pricey side when you have a door fee and dinner on top of it. But to come out and support a friend it was totally worth it! If you're in the CenPho area, I'd definitely recommend going and eating here once or twice. Did I mention the food is OMG SO GOOD? Doc's Place is located at 40 E.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the event will probably go on until 9:30 p.m. The exhibit consists of a poster show and several satirical and over-the-top audio/video installations. From the artist:

A Bunch of Crock is an art exhibit about the absurdities of political campaigns and the unfortunate role of minorities. Filtering through various political messages in this election year, the common thread seems to be this: 1) politicians and pundits think the general population is too stupid to tell fact from fiction and 2) promoting fear of minorities is good politics. Using satire and good old-fashioned profanity, this exhibit attempts to bypass the spin and tell the audience what the politicians and pundits actually mean, and how they portray minorities to promote fear and manufacture outrage.

What makes this exhibit unique is that was funded through Kickstarter, a microfunding platform for creative projects. More than 40 donors pledged between $12 and $100 to produce the gallery exhibit, which consists of printing large-format posters; producing stickers, buttons, postcards and signage; renting audio/video equipment (projectors, screens, speakers, etc.) and renting tables and chairs. While the First Friday show has been funded, additional funds are still being sought for rental of a/v equipment for future shows, including a planned Third Friday date (December 17, 6:30 to 10 p.m.) Safwat's video submission to Kickstarter explaining the concept and premise for the project can be found here.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the second floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours. 1100 W. Washington St., Government Mall Redevelopment Area The J.M. Evans House is rarely referred to by its name; instead, the "Onion Dome" or, more formally, the Arizona State Archives and Public Records building, its current incarnation. The home, famous for its onion bulb-like dome, stares across Washington Street to Library Park, and it is an unparalleled example of "old Phoenix" blending with modern buildings. The unaltered Queen Anne cottage features the onion dome, of course, but also impeccable brickwork rising from its stone foundation. The wraparound porch with wood posts is common in Queen Annes from this era, as is the asphalt shingled, high-pitched gable roof. Little appears to have changed in the 117 years since the structure was built, especially considering it now serves an administrative function instead of housing. Evans, a physician with real estate and mining interests, purchased the land in 1892 and build-out was complete in 1893. He occupied the house until 1904, and in 1908, Oscar Mahoney and family moved in. Mahoney, a Confederate veteran, was the first superintendant of the Territorial Insane Asylum, served on city council and was the county coroner. His wife, Virginia, was one of only four women licensed to practice by the state medical examining board at the time. She died in 1925, and Mahoney vacated soon after. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Sources: Arizona State Historic Property Inventory; National Register of Historic Places.

(Seriously, where have you been?!) Electronica group Mr. Meeble is having its first show in more than a year on Friday to celebrate the debut of the 26 Blocks iPad app, and to make it even better, it’s FREE! Beer gardens, DJs and live art will make this block party the place to be in Downtown. Oh and one last thing, you could win a free Apple iPad in a raffle. All the proceeds go to Ear Candy Charity.

Four Phoenix bands are showcasing their talents at the Hard Rock Café (3 S. 2nd St.) Saturday night for $5. The Common Wall Media Xmas Party features What Laura Says; Snake, Snake, Snakes; Gospel Claws and Dead Wildlife bringing in the holiday spirit in a whole new way. What Laura Says is a quintet that found each other in 2005, but they have gradually risen on the Phoenix radar (the Valley Metro commercial featuring the band is probably helping, too). Their '70s Led Zeppelin-like sound mixed with folk makes for a good on-the-road soundtrack.

[caption id="attachment_10855" align="aligncenter" width="557" caption="The Suns' third annual tweetup is Friday, December 10 at US Airways Center."][/caption]

Next Friday, December 10, the Phoenix Suns will host their third annual tweetup presented by Discount Tire when the team faces off against the visiting Portland Trailblazers. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years and are unaware, a tweetup is an event where people from the popular social networking site Twitter meet up for a gathering. Fans that purchase tickets to the tweetup get great seats (in group section with other tweeps!) at a discounted price and a free T-shirt. The event will also allow fans to enter US Airways Center early to watch the Suns warm up as well as be part of a “Twitter tailgate” in which fans are able to get food and drink specials at discount prices. Throughout the game, Twitter contests will give fans the opportunity to win some sweet Suns prizes. The fun doesn’t stop there though, because after the game, fans attending the tweetup will get to join JMZ creator and Suns forward Jared Dudley for a private Q&A session. After attending last year’s tweetup, I definitely recommend this to all Suns fans. It’s a great chance to meet other Suns fans (some that travel from out of state to make the game) and get the rare opportunity to ask an NBA player your very own question. While Jared Dudley is the scheduled guest for this year’s Q&A, you never know who else may show up. During last year’s tweetup, former Sun Amar’e Stoudemire was the post-game guest, but surprise appearances were made by Suns head coach Alvin Gentry, broadcaster and Suns legend Eddie Johnson and Dudley. While we don’t know for sure, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t another Suns-related speaker talking to fans after the game. If there is one Suns game you’re going to attend this year, this is the one. I’ll be there, so come hang out and say hi to your favorite Suns blogger. For more information regarding the Phoenix Suns third annual tweetup, including ticket purchasing, please visit Suns.com.

If you haven't, you can find out more about the project here: 26blocks.com. Basically, it is a multimedia exhibit featuring 26 of Phoenix's best photographers,  26 of Phoenix's best writers and 26 Downtown Phoenix city blocks, along with one of the city's best sculptors. Buoyed by the success of the exhibit, the 26 Blocks team is taking the project to the next level. On First Friday, December 3, they are launching a FREE iPad application of 26 Blocks at CityScape. This free, all-ages event will feature a street party, live music featuring Mr. Meeble, live art by Dumperfoo, a beer garden benefiting Ear Candy Charity and an iPad raffle! To help cover the costs of the launch, 26 Block is seeking support from the community. They are looking to collect 300 donations of $26 each for the 26 Blocks iPad app launch party before midnight tonight. In return, 26 Blocks will put every donor name on the iPad app. If they receive 400 donations, they will include a link from your name on the iPad app to your website! It's 100% tax-free and you can gift a friend's name. If they collect 299 donations or less, your $26 donation will still enjoy 100% tax-free status and you will still get that warm fuzzy feeling knowing your $26 is making the 26 Blocks free music & art celebration for Phoenix possible… but no names will be on the  iPad app. If you can't make a donation, no worries; you can still come out and celebrate the launch of the app on Friday night!

Phoenix, meet your new favorite after-dinner treat. I love that they make some righteous sandwiches and various cuisine to help stave off my ravenous appetite. The only problem that this creates is the happenstance that I drool whilst thoroughly looking over their menu. In fact, on this particular visit, I had to let several people pass me in line while I decided. Too many good items, so little stomach room. In case you were wondering, my sandwich was amazing, but what brought me here this time was the golden, fluffy Cactus Bites.

As soon as the main course was complete, I bounded over to the counter to place my anticipated dessert order. Fortunately, the lovely waitress/cashier recognized the hunger in my eyes and suggested the large size. Who can say no to such a suggestion? Once these delicacies made their way to my table, I was immediately in love. Piled high in a mountain of sweet, sugary goodness, these Cactus Bites were as lovely as ever. I began lofting these cinnamon- and sugar-encrusted doughy bites into my face with frightening speed. Occasionally, I would step outside the rhythm of following one behind the other to my mouth, and I would swipe one through the whipped cream dip. This was the exact location that sugar comas and gluttony meet unrelenting repetition. I barely looked up during my pig-out. In retrospect, I’m fairly sure that I was the sight to behold in the pizza place. Oh well, at least I had the privilege of unashamedly stuffing my face. Now, I just wish I had taken a bow once I left. When the craving for dessert hits you next time, think about making a spectacle of yourself as you devour one of the jewels of our fair city at Valley Pizza: the Cactus Bites.

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 07.24.10 I'm new to Phoenix from San Francisco, so perhaps it's no surprise that it took a bumping gay bar to make me feel like I might actually be able to make it work in this town. But this place is awesome. Super diverse crowd, all your fave pop and hip-hop hits to keep the crowd moving, and reasonably priced drinks. We got there early and were able to relax on the comfy outdoor leather couches before it got too crazy. But the best part was that even after it was packed, we were able to sneak upstairs to this extra bar that had more of a quiet, speakeasy feel, with plenty of space to sit and chill (and a group of slightly older dudes who looked like they got lost en route from the golf course to the sports bar — seriously, diverse crowd).

Everyone’s favorite brick house on 5th Street wasn't even intended to be a music venue. “I was in a position to interject… when there was a lot of stuff missing,” owner, Eric Dahl said about opening up Lost Leaf in a Downtown Phoenix that was much different than it is today. The classic local bars were closing down left and right, and like venues, not much was taking their place. The first Lost Leaf gallery was above the Emerald Lounge at 7th Avenue and McDowell Road (today's SideBar), but once Starbucks and Pei Wei moved in, the rent multiplied. Around the same time, Dahl and fellow musician and music booker Tato Caraveo were playing at Longhouse Studios across the street from an abandoned house on 5th Street. Dahl noticed the house with the sign in the front yard and talked to the landlord about opening it up as a bar and art gallery.

[caption id="attachment_10909" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="The Lost Leaf hosts free live music seven nights a week."][/caption] He opened up the Lost Leaf in March 2006. It took about 14 months for the liquor license to come through, but Lost Leaf was always open on Downtown’s favorite day of the month, First Friday. A little more than a year later, the gallery was open until 2 a.m. daily. When Modified Arts closed down and bands had nowhere to turn, Dahl opened his doors and started hosting free shows. “I could make a lot more money if I wanted to charge a cover,” Dahl said. But with the bar sales, money is no object to Dahl. “Downtown is really starving for music venues,” he continued. He wanted to make good with the neighborhood and in the music scene before worrying about the bills. Bands were getting paid $100 crowd or no crowd, but now they get 20% of the bar sales while they play. The Lost Leaf has now been open for almost four years and has had over 1,000 free shows. Kevin Seconds from 7 Seconds, Golden Boy with Elliot Smith's ex-guitarist and Medeski Martin and Wood are some of Dahl’s fond memories inside the Lost Leaf. “By now, we kind of got our foot in the door and there’s so much coming and going,” Dahl explained. “We’ve kind of proven our staying power.” Tonight, The Chili Sauce will take the stage, so grab a bottle of your favorite beer or wine and take a seat at one of Downtown’s one-of-a-kind venues.

Workbench is a store where woodworkers, architects, metalworkers, graphic designers and other local artists collaborate to produce functional art, according to CityScape. The store sells products ranging from dining room tables and chairs, to wall art and plant arrangements, and will also custom design one-of-a-kind pieces for customers seeking specific products. Designer and woodworker Lew Gallo, who previously co-owned Haus Modern Living, a local home furnishings and décor boutique that closed in January, is the creator of Workbench. “He found people that had a like-minded kind of vision for design and just rounded us up; we were all equally motivated, so we just jumped in and did it,” says architect and Phoenix native Christoph Kaiser. Kaiser, who is the co-owner and co-founder of the Phoenix-based architecture firm Plus Minus Studio along with fellow Workbench contributor Hayes McNeil, said he joined the Workbench team as a way to give his products more exposure, but also because it’s just a great thing to be a part of. “We’re pulling multiple people together under one roof, and it’s kind of exciting to do that anyway, just as a project,” he explains. Kaiser mentions that there are few places people in the Valley can go to find handmade furniture, and many of the stores that were similar to Workbench have closed recently. But CityScape was eager to bring in more tenants, and thus made it an attractive place to open the shop. In addition to Workbench's unique, handmade and eco-friendly products, Kaiser adds that buying from local retailers is better for the state's economy. “These days, there’s just so much mass-produced stuff,” Kaiser continues. “There’s something to be said about having a story behind an object and having something that has a little bit more of the human touch.” Many of these handmade products are built from reclaimed materials, which Kaiser says are easy to find in the designer community because architects, woodworkers and artists tend to have “piles of junk” in their sheds, workshops and back yards. “If there’s something out there that can be used in [some] way, then why kill another tree or have something else produced?” Kaiser asks.

Bummer, right? Not entirely. Thereare plenty of places around the arena were you can watch the game while enjoying great food and drink in a fantastic atmosphere. Two spots I love in particular are Majerle’s Sports Grill and The Duce.

Majerle’s Sports Grill, located on 2nd Street and Washington inside the historic Fry building (the oldest commercial building in Downtown Phoenix), is always a solid choice. Owned by and named after Suns legend and current assistant coach Dan Majerle, Majerle’s Sports Grill offers a great variety of food and beverages served by a friendly staff. [caption id="attachment_10918" align="aligncenter" width="614" caption="Majerle's is the perfect spot to cheer on the Suns."][/caption]

Majerle’s has been serving the Downtown area since 1992 and has built quite the reputation. The winner of multiple awards, including “Best Pre/Post Game Spot” from the Phoenix New Times, Majerle’s is certainly the place to be on game nights. Any seat in the house will guarantee you a great view of the game with the large selection of televisions placed throughout the bar. Whether you’re looking to grab dinner while watching the game or just have a few drinks, Majerle’s is the place for you. If you are eating, I recommend the ham and swiss panini. It’s delicious! The Duce is the new kid on block. Located just two blocks south of US Airways Center in a historic brick warehouse, The Duce is nothing like anything you’ve seen in the Valley before. If you’re looking for somewhere with the in-arena atmosphere to watch the game, the Duce may be just the place for you. With a set of old bleachers from St. Mary’s High School and a large movie theater-style screen on which to project the game, the Duce makes you feel as if you’re actually inside the Purple Palace. If you happen to get thirsty or hungry while watching Planet Orange take the court, the Duce has you covered with a fine assortment of food and drinks to keep everyone satisfied. Oh, and the food is served out of a shiny silver airstream trailer. Where else are going to find something that cool and unique? I know what you’re thinking: “The Duce is located two blocks south of the train tracks? I’m not going all there way over there!” No worries, the Duce has got you covered! Just give them a call and they’ll send “Old School,” their 1968 school bus, on over to pick you up. And if school busses aren’t your thing and you would prefer to drive, the Duce also offer free valet parking. Yes, FREE valet parking. You haven’t any excuses, Phoenicians. Get out, watch the game, and have a good time.]]> 10914 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/12/16/home-sweet-home/ Thu, 16 Dec 2010 15:51:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=10923 Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix has recently overseen the construction of 28 new houses — gingerbread ones, that is. On December 3, the Home Sweet Home exhibit debuted at the After Hours Gallery in Phoenix. The public was invited to view and bid on gingerbread houses created by community leaders, City of Phoenix staff, TV and radio personalities, pastry chefs, architects, restaurateurs, elementary school children and other locals, with all proceeds benefiting NHS Phoenix. Although bidding is closed, the free exhibit is still open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and this Third Friday, December 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. Check out just a sample of the exhibit below:

Upon entering the gallery, the first gingerbread house to awe is visitors is the one created by Kim Stoegbauer, the founder and owner of The TomKat Studio, a blog and shop focused on creative parties and home decorating. Pink and white icing, candy and paper decorations complete this delightful house.

From 1954 to 1989, Pat McMahon played Gerald on The Wallace and Ladmo Show, which holds the record for the longest-running children's television program. His wife, Duffy, founded Innovative Therapies in 2000, an organization that develops programs for people seeking to overcome psychological problems such as stress, anxiety and anger. But, somehow, the two found time to build a gingerbread house in honor of The Wallace and Ladmo Show, and with the peppermint-paved walkway and the M&M-covered rooftop, the McMahons have proven that in addition to their other talents and successes, they can make one sweet gingerbread house.

It's not an edible model of a television or a replica of the Channel 12 News set, but Lin Sue Cooney's traditional-style gingerbread house adorned with ribbon candy, nonpareils, candy canes and mints of various shapes and sizes is still one of the most charming houses in the show.

"House Divided" was created by pastry chef Carol Konyha, who built a total of eight houses for the show. It doesn't have snow made of white frosting or roof tiles made of peppermints, and the only Christmas color is the green of the football field, but this nontraditional gingerbread house can be enjoyed year-round by Arizonans of all ages.

Konyha continues to amaze with her licorice-coated vacuum gingerbread house, designed for Linda Cobb, also known as "the Queen of Clean."

The students of an art program at Las Artes School designed this house, which is one of the largest ones in the show. This side of the house displays the Arizona state flag and a desert landscape, but the other side of the flag delves even more into Arizona's culture with a design of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Also, on the other side is a house made of gingerbread and crackers, surrounded by frosting-coated flowers and butterflies.

Students in Shaw Elementary School's art club built this school bus by starting with a shoebox and covering it in graham crackers and frosting. Then they decorated the bus with different types of candy such as marshmallows for the bumper and Life Savers for the lights.

The "Under Water House," sculpted with cookie dough and gingerbread, and topped with goldfish crackers, was designed by Alwun House founder Dana Johnson. The Alwun House is a historic Garfield house that displays artwork from artists of various cultures and disciplines. The house attempts to engage artists and the community to enrich the cultural atmosphere of Phoenix.

Kim Dorney, the Housing Director for the City of Phoenix, used gingerbread, nonpareils, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, peppermints, candy canes, frosted cereal and other tasty treats to create this festive, classic-style gingerbread house.

Another of Konyha's eight houses, this gingerbread house (well, houses, technically) represents Amsterdam Row. The snow on the ground and Santa and his reindeer on the roof give it a special holiday touch.

Take one guess as to who built this house. Yep, Konyha again. With its candy cane gate and sliced-almond shingles, this glittery gingerbread house looks so cozy and welcoming, it's hard not to wish you were small enough to fit inside of it.

Another Konyha creation, this Willo house was designed for City of Phoenix Vice Mayor Michael Nowakowski.

Even though they have a serious and sometimes dangerous job, the Phoenix Fire Department obviously knows how to have fun, too. They designed a gingerbread firetruck for the exhibit, decorating the vehicle with frosting and candy.

Headwerk founder Erik von Weber created this gingerbread house in honor of his dog, Lucy Lou, who recently passed away. The house is made of gingerbread, Milk-Bone dog biscuits and icing, and sits on a Rice Krispies Treat foundation with a pretzel picket fence. Inside of the house, he created a space with Lucy's favorite toys. Headwerk is a design company that offers unique solutions for communications projects related to brand strategy, identity, advertising, packaging, environment and the Web. He founded the company in 2001.

After yesterday's recommendations from the Ad Hoc Task Force charged with studying the safety and effectiveness of these "suicide" lanes, Vice Mayor Michael Nowakowski sent out the letter below. What are your thoughts on the reverse lanes, and what should be done to keep us safe while managing traffic flow in and out of Downtown Phoenix?

— DPJ

Dear friends and neighbors, Today, my colleagues and I at City Council considered the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Task Force that studied the issue of the reverse lanes on 7th Avenue and 7th Street. For many years as a private citizen, I disliked the effect that the reverse lanes had on traffic and neighborhoods, and for the past few years I’ve had the privilege of fighting the reverse lanes as your councilman. My staff and I know intimately the problems with speeding, the confusion, the cut-through traffic and the accidents and near-misses that threaten people along these roads. I’ve received thousands of calls, emails, and letters about the negative effect of reverse lanes on our community. At today’s meeting, however, convenience was chosen over safety and quality of life. While it’s promising that the City will pursue enforcement and education along the reverse lanes, my hope has always been to eliminate the reverse lanes and put safety first. I’d like to thank Councilman Tom Simplot for his long-time efforts to eliminate the reverse lanes, and my colleagues Councilwoman Thelda Williams and Mayor Phil Gordon for their willingness to consider the well-being of our neighborhoods. I would also like to extend a big thanks to all of the members of the task force we seated for their service, and the hundreds of Phoenicians who participated in the public hearing process regardless of how they feel about the reverse lanes. A city is only as great as its people, and we have the best people. Your friend, Michael Nowakowski Vice Mayor and District 7 resident]]> 11025 0 0 0 4397 http://www.danielalmaraz.com 0 0 4412 4397 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/12/15/fresh-market-phoestivus/ Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:18:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11031 Market Updates The Get Your PHX crew will host the first annual Phoestivus Market tonight at the Phoenix Public Market from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Stop by to check out a winter celebration of all things local!

Interesting fact: The Churchill Addition, 49 city blocks divided into 12 lots each spanning from Roosevelt to Van Buren and 7th Street to Central Avenue, does not have any pre-1900 homes remaining within its boundaries, despite having been officially annexed into the city of Phoenix in 1895. Yet less than 20 years ago, a handful remained.

The D.W. Macdonald house (1899) once sat in the plowed lot at 5th and Pierce streets. The E.M. Shoemaker House (1899) at 810 N. 4th Street was recently torched beyond repair in a fiery blaze, now leaving another dirt lot in the Evans Churchill neighborhood. A third home, the Connell/Smurthwaite House (now commonly referred to as simply the Smurthwaite House), was at the northwest corner of Fillmore and 7th streets for 97 years, but it too is now gone, though not for good.

In 1991, the Heritage Fund approved a $50,000 grant to restore the home, which had gone into decay from a decade of neglect. Three years later, it made a landmark 26-block journey west to its new home at Pioneer & Military Park. The restoration was completed in 2001.

Still, much is known about the Smurthwaite House's origin. Designed and built by James M. Creighton in 1897, the 3,000-square-foot home cost a whopping $2,875. It is today perhaps Phoenix's best example of a Shingle-style home, though it incorporates elements of Neo-Colonial Revival style (the Victorian furniture throughout the first floor helps as well).

Its size made it spacious even at two stories, and the home was originally intended for use as a boarding house. However, Trustrim Connell and his wife, Anne, moved into the home in 1903, using it as their private residence. Following Trustrim's death, Anne deeded the home to Caroline Smurthwaite, and it remained in the Smurthwaite family until 1982, when Caroline's daughter, Carolann, passed away. Her will requested that the home be preserved and enjoyed by the public.

Today, the house is maintained by the city of Phoenix and serves as an archival library for information regarding historic cemeteries throughout Arizona and also as the headquarters for the nonprofit Pioneers' Cemetery Association, Inc.

DJ William F’ing Reed’s Sticky Fingers at Bar Smith gets people out of their seats and keeps them on their feet all night. With a different DJ and act every week, Sticky Fingers always has something new for people to hear and see. Recently, Sticky Fingers is bumping up the volume to 11 by adding live bands to the Friday night mix. Reed is currently looking for electro, electronic, dance rock and electro-fusion hip-hop bands. Earlier this month, Phoenix electro-pop band Treasure Mammal grace the rooftop stage. Asked what type of live music he is searching for, Reed is quick to answer: “Bands that are high energy and primarily dancey." This isn’t Reed’s first time around hosting nights at bars. He has been associated with “the best dance night” and “best hipster dance night” by many Arizona publications, as well as SPIN and URB magazine. Reed got his start in the late '90s when he started playing with friends. He never considered himself a DJ, but his friends told him that he had good taste in music, so he decided to try it out. In early 2005, the then owner of the Rogue Bar in Scottsdale asked Reed to DJ. “He offered me $50 and free drinks, and I thought that was the coolest thing ever,” Reed recalls. One night turned into every week, and then Reed had his own night called "Shake!," which lasted for five years (it ended its run on Halloween 2009). For someone who didn't consider himself a DPJ, he was becoming one of Arizona’s best and well-known. He started Sticky Fingers in April at Rips Bar in Midtown, but in November was looking for something new. “We were working to do a level of production that simply could not be accommodated at Rips,” Reed admits. He knew the owners of Bar Smith and they were looking for someone to fill-in their Friday nights. Every Friday night since has had over 500 people. “It was a perfect fit,” Reed says. Reed ensures a good time and something to keep people moving. If you can’t make it these next couple Fridays, shoot to be there New Years Eve night. Reed says it will be “great, great, great.” Sticky Fingers will only be bigger and better in 2011, with international DJs and bands joining Bar Smith, Reed mentions. This Friday, Snake! Snake! Snakes! is kicking off Sticky Fingers. The event is 21+ and free before 10:30 p.m. Entry is $7 after 10:30. Bar Smith is located at 130 E.

Turns out they booked Ed Kowalczyk, the ex-lead singer of Live, a '90s alt-rock band that sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. Not too shabby. Kowalczyk will perform hits from Live's 1994 smash, Throwing Copper, as well as the band's extended catalog and his newer solo work. Kowalczyk will headline a night-long celebration that includes Tempe soul band Snake Burner and Metal Elvis, a mashup of Elvis-meets-KISS-style rock-n-roll. In conjunction with the Throwing Copper theme, the Arizona Centennial’s “Throwing Copper” Penny Drive will kick off a statewide effort to raise money to clean the state capitol's copper dome.

They currently stand in the 8th spot in the Western Conference with a record of 12-12 and are kicking off a tough three-game road trip tonight in Dallas against the streaking Mavericks. As of December 15, players that were signed during the offseason are now eligible to be traded. The February trade deadline will get here quicker than people think. It’s soon going to be time for the Suns to decide if they’re happy with what they have this year and move forward as is or try and make a move. This is where things get tricky. Right now, it’s pretty hard to gauge what the Suns have and what they need. Yes, we know more size, better rebounding and better defense would definitely be ideal. With that said, we are just now seeing our first glimpse of how good this current squad can be with a healthy Robin Lopez in the middle. The results from Wednesday’s game against Minnesota are encouraging. Lopez had 12 points and eight rebounds in just more than 20 minutes. His defense looked pretty solid, and his sized made it much easier for guys like Channing Frye to grab more boards than normal. So much easier, in fact, that the Suns actually out-rebounded the Timberwolves, who are tops in the league in rebounding.

Even if Lopez does continue to improve or even exceed expectations for this season, an extra big body would still be a very nice addition. So, if Lance Blanks and Lon Babby decide making a move is in the best interest of the team, the next step would be to figure out what type of move to make. Many are already saying it’s time to blow things up, trade Steve Nash and start all over from square one. I’m not one of these people. It’s far too early for a bold move of that nature. In fact, I don’t expect that moment to come at all this season. The bigger question for me is how soon should the Suns make a move. Do they try and make a small trade now by packaging Earl Clark and possibly a draft pick or someone like Josh Childress for a player of Sacramento Kings forward Jason Thompson’s caliber (I’m not saying the Suns could get Thompson because I’m unsure that the Kings would move him to a division foe) or do they hold off until February to see if something better becomes available? In February, teams become a little more willing to pull the trigger. Especially teams that think they’re just one veteran away from making a run. Maybe this February some team out there will get desperate and feel like Hedo Turkoglu is that veteran. At this point, it’s still too early to tell. Odds are the Suns will make a move at some point this season, however, it's highly unlikely that it’ll be a huge trade, since there really isn’t anyone out there that will want Hedo. Jason Richardson could possibly net some talent, but currently he’s too valuable to the team. My hope is Blanks and Babby are able to work some magic and make a small move that has a huge impact.]]> 11144 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/12/21/metro-holiday-events-schedule/ Tue, 21 Dec 2010 19:59:34 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11172

McKinley St. — Garfield Historic District [caption id="attachment_11187" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="The Cisney House, currently receiving a bit of TLC, with the McKinley Historic Church in the background"][/caption] In early posts about the Garfield Historic District I have discussed how 10th Street became a viable lifeline through the neighborhood during the boom of the early 1900s. One house that was established well before the growth spurt east of 7th Street was the George E. Cisney House, located near the intersection of 10th and McKinley streets. A brightly colored Neo-Colonial Revival built in 1897, Cisney's solid stone foundation and brick exterior has held up through a remarkable 11 decades. The home's craftsmanship, all created by Cisney by hand, includes intricate dentils around the roof eave. The hipped roof is a common sight in these parts, but even the second-story dormer provokes a wave of elegance. Perhaps most notable is the sweeping wraparound veranda, one of the earliest examples of such in Phoenix. Simply put, Cisney built one of Garfield's most stunning pieces of architecture. Cisney was one of Phoenix's preeminent builders of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and he constructed the house on McKinley as his own private residence. Today, it is a rare local example of classic Neo-Colonial style. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Currently, it is one of a handful of pre-1900 houses left in the Dennis Addition, which spans Roosevelt to Van Buren streets and 7th to 12th streets. The others include 1138 E. Taylor St., 1001 E. Fillmore St., the Skinner House at 917 E. Roosevelt St., 920 E. McKinley St. and 747 E.

December is AIDS awareness month, and one Valley DJ is hoping to raise money one beat at a time with proceeds going to NextAid. World Famous Rani “g” discovered the LA-based charity through fellow DJ friends and was introduced to the co-founder and director, Lauren Segal-Avenna. NextAid uses the power of music to raise awareness and money to support development projects in Africa. “Every year, they raise money to go to houses and schools,” Rani “g” said. Rani “g” decided to bring the party to Downtown Phoenix. Rani “g”, Dr. Drea and dk.strickler started Retro Hi-Fi in September 2009 at SideBar every Sunday night. The DJs keep all the night owls grooving. Rani “g” was planning one huge event in Arizona but things were falling through, so he decided to use Retro Hi-Fi and make the events run all month long. Every Sunday, they’ve held events at SideBar and the Lost Leaf collaborating with different local DJs. Local DJs E-House, Amani Jae and Downtime residents Riot Earp, Hartbreaks and Ellery have all played at the NextAid events. By the end of the month, Rani “g” and a few others are going to pull money together to add to the donations. “I’m hoping to get close to $1,000,” Rani “g” said. The last event will be December 26 at the Civic Space Park at noon and then continues at 8 p.m. at SideBar with djentrification and Hartbreaks. Can’t make it? You can donate online.

Last night, when the Suns squared off against the Miami Heat at US Airways Center, two of those pieces, Gortat and Pietrus (Carter missed the game with a sore knee), made their Phoenix debut. The results weren’t so great. The Suns struggled mightily offensively despite getting many open looks. It just wasn’t the Suns' night. If you weren't Jared Dudley, you couldn’t buy a basket. Pietrus and Gortat failed to have much of an impact, but they each showed flashes as to why the Suns picked them up.

[caption id="attachment_11220" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Mickael Pietrus takes aim. Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images."][/caption]

Gortat was the main piece of the trade for the Suns. His addition to the Phoenix roster gives the Suns two legitimate centers for the first time I can remember in my lifetime. It’s quite the luxury to be able to have either Robin Lopez or Gortat on the floor at all times. In last night’s game against the Heat, the Polish Hammer only pulled down four rebounds, however, he seemed to really get in there and fight for every missed shot. On the offensive side of the ball, Gortat only scored four points, but I actually felt like he showed he has more of an offensive game than advertised. While Gortat’s first game as a Sun was mediocre at best, and even that’s a stretch, there were two things in particular that I really liked. The first was his mobility. He’s actually much faster and agile than I realized. He seemed to get up the court quickly, which will make it easy for him to fit in with the Suns' style of play. The best thing that caught my eye from Gortat is what happens when he scores. Anytime he scores a basket, the US Airways Center's PA plays “Hammer Time.” You can’t beat that. Pietrus' debut wasn’t much better. He struggled with his shot, missing all four of his three-point attempts. On the plus side, Pietrus kept active on the offensive end, which allowed him to get wide open for those three-point shots. They didn’t fall last night, but he'll hit those shots. He’s coming back from an injury that has had him out since mid-December and he’s trying to mesh with a new team, so we knew rust would be there. Defensively is where Pietrus will really make an impact. Even in the relatively brief 13 minutes he played last night, you can see how much of a pest he is on defense. He stays right up in the face of the offensive player and allows him no room to operate. While last night’s game may not have been the best indication of it, this trade will benefit the Suns greatly. The defense will be much improved and the offense won’t miss a beat (you can disregard the 83 points Phoenix scored last night — that won’t be the norm). The next four games for Phoenix are very winnable and we should see the debut of Carter. I anticipate these games will give the Suns the chance to work in the new guys and get in a rhythm. Then the push for the playoffs begins.]]> 11216 0 0 0 4803 http://www.phoenixarizonacriminallawyer.com/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2010/12/28/dpj-yelper-week-star-red-hot-robot/ Tue, 28 Dec 2010 07:01:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11224 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

While lacking historic district designation, the St. Matthew neighborhood west of the State Capitol (roughly spanning 19th Avenue to I-17 and Fillmore to Harrison streets) nonetheless claims a number of impressive turn-of-the-century structures that are often overlooked. In the heart of the neighborhood, right off 19th Avenue on Adams Street, is the William Grier House, a striking Neo-Colonial built in 1901. Grier, a merchant who took to ranching after moving to Arizona in 1896, built the house as a primary residence for himself and his wife, Mary. They moved into the home full time around 1908. Standing two stories, it towers above most homes in St. Matthew. The bellcast is enough of a rarity in Phoenix, but the second-level balcony is pretty unique as well. The recessed wood entry and veranda make for an impressive entry to a home that is still in good shape despite its age. Grier occupied the home with his wife until his death in 1925, and she lived there until 1938. It remains an impressive illustration of Neo-Colonial ornamentation, even as the area surrounding it eventually reached build-out.

Arizona Theatre Company is telling his story with Woody Guthrie’s American Song, a performance showing at the Herberger Theater through January 16. The play traces the history of both Guthrie and America from the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression to World War II. A “dust bowl refugee,” Guthrie headed to California in the 1930s in search of work, where he landed his own radio show singing old-time music and voicing his concerns for migrant workers, the play guide states. His presence became comforting to these displaced workers, and Guthrie allied with the them along with unions and other Americans who were seen as outsiders. In 1940, he traveled to New York where he recorded Dust Bowl Ballads, his first album of original music for RCA Victor Records. While serving in World War II, he wrote military rally songs and songs against fascism. At the end of the 1940s and in the early 1950s, fear of communism spread through America and Guthrie, along with other artists, was blacklisted for preaching about the working class, unionism and free speech. “Whether fighting for the unions, hopping a train, or expressing outrage at inequality, Woody Guthrie’s life and music celebrate what it means to be an American,” the play guide says. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone at 602.256.6995 or at the door. Prices start at $35. The Herberger Theater is located at 222 E.

"I think we need to be in the gym every day for three hours, learn the rotations and everything from the beginning. There are so many things we are doing bad and I can't find an explanation." This is what new Suns center Marcin Gortat had for his new teammates after Wednesday night’s embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at US Airways Center. He didn’t stop there, though. “I'm trying to get some rebounds and stops, but unfortunately there is not too many opportunities to rebound because the 76ers are scoring 120-something points. It is just frustrating. It is frustrating as hell; I'm not going to lie. It is a reality check for me, going from a team who is winning to a team who is losing, and we are the worst defensive team in the league.” Clearly, the Polish Hammer isn’t too happy with how things have gone in his first three games on Planet Orange, and he shouldn’t be. The loss to the Heat is understandable. Losses to lowly teams like the Clippers and 76ers aren’t. Things need to change and they need to change quickly and it must start on the defensive end. Offense isn’t a problem. Some were concerned the Suns' scoring would take a big hit with the loss of Jason Richardson, but others have picked up the slack. What is so concerning is how much worse the defense has become. I realize the team needs time to build chemistry with the new guys on board, but lack of chemistry is no excuse for lack of effort. Allowing 123 points to a Philadelphia team playing without its centerpiece, Andre Igoudala, just can’t happen. (Hell, it can’t happen with Iggy). Despite the Suns' defense being absolute garbage (and that’s putting it nicely), the Suns are fortunately still right in the thick of things in the playoff hunt. With 50 games to go, the Suns are a mere two-and-a-half games back of eighth-seeded Portland. There’s plenty of time to turn things around. Gortat said what needed to be said. He was brought here to help on the defensive end, and he’s quickly making it known that he’s not happy with things thus far. Hopefully, this will be the boost the Suns need. When a player, especially a new guy, rips his teammates, it can go one of two ways: the players respond positively, or they block him out and keep him on the outside. I can’t imagine these Suns players responding negatively. The Suns get their first crack and righting the ship tonight against the Pistons. If all goes well, the Hammer won’t have to come down again.]]> 11275 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/01/04/sips-grub-barbacoa-tacos-vitamin-t/ Wed, 05 Jan 2011 00:09:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11285 Vitamin T is slinging some serious grub in the shadow of CityScape. I pedaled myself on down to cease the growling of my stomach. When I did, I was met with the sweet smells of simmering goodness coursing through the doorway. As I perused the menu, remember that I was craving beef brisket. It was settled: barbacoa tacos. After all, this place does boast of three things: tacos, tortas and tequila. I could only partake in two of those things that early on a Tuesday. Don’t judge me. Loaded with chili-rubbed beef brisket, queso fresco, avocado crema and salsa verde, the barbacoa tacos seemed almost like a mirage. To top it off (literally), I turned around to the salsa bar that was packed with fresh ingredients and serious variations of amazing salsa. This meal was already epic before I even had a taste. At first bite, my thoughts of epicness were confirmed. The beef was succulent and savory. Each bite spoke to the labor of love that went into the process of making the barbacoa. As CityScape grows, I can only expect to see more restaurants pop up, but I think I might have already found my favorite. I will have to head over now for a daily dose of tacos and tequila.

Scottsdale, AZ Five-star rating 12.04.10 I looked at the menu when they opened and thought it all looked delicious, but none of the sandwiches were vegan or easily veganized. The other day on the Chaka Chaka Facebook page, they posted that they would have vegan tomato soup and vegetarian Chimichakas (get it? ha) AND that they would be open for dinner til 12 a.m. for the First Friday crowd. I wrote to ask if the Chimichaka could be veganized and they wrote yes. I knew that was my cue to get my husband out of the house on a First Friday date and finally eat at Chaka Chaka! We drove just south of Chase Field and arrived at Chaka Chaka, which was decorated outside with Christmas lights and a chalkboard to let people know they were open for dinner. Normally, Chaka Chaka is only open for breakfast and lunch. But, hopefully, they'll consider being open for dinner on the weekends. We had the most delightful vegetarian (actually vegan) spicy tomato soup with fried cabbage and croutons. The kick comes from red chili paste... and maybe some curry. I think this should be a regular winter special; it's not on the menu every day! The croutons are vegetarian, not vegan, so I didn't eat them. My husband tried them and said they were delicious. The next course was vegan chimichakas (a nightly special). The chimichakas are made to order with curried potatoes and peas, yogurt sauce, tomatoes and cilantro. I had mine sans the yogurt sauce. It was crisp and flavorful. We couldn't leave without trying the garlic fries (regular menu item). Chaka Chaka only uses the fryer for fries, so vegans can feel good about that! The fries were really good, with just the right amount of seasoning. They have desserts, which are made daily. Last night they had brownies, cookies and coffee cake (not vegan). I'll go back again... just have to request some vegan specials on the menu! There are set menu items daily, but check out their Twitter or Facebook for special hours (like when they are open for dinner or open late) and meal specials (I'll be watching for vegan options). I hope that more people request vegan options and maybe they'll add some to the regular daily menu.

Alvarado Rd., East Alvarado Historic District The East Alvarado Historic District, a collection of just 30 homes along a stretch of Alvarado Road between 3rd and 7th streets, is the epitome of 1930s and 1940s suburban Phoenix living. The neighborhood, platted and marked by a single spec house that stood from 1930 to 1937, started off on an inauspicious note marked by the Great Depression, but by the end of the 1930s and into the early 1940s, it boomed as one of Phoenix's defining neighborhoods for early Ranch and French Provincial building styles. The Raymond N. Cowley House, a Monterey-style single-story smack in the middle of this stretch of a district, wasn't built until the area's heyday in 1941, but it is notable simply because it remains virtually untouched, even down to the vegetation in the front lawn. Architect/builder Paul M. Burroway built the Cowley House and the neighboring Roger Hofford house as complementing Montereys: brick with stone foundations, canopied front-entry porches, each with French Provincial-style detailing. Unlike the Hofford House, the Cowley House utilizes exterior wood in a number of ways: shuttering, its high-pitched hip roof with wooden shingles and cornice molding and its wood-paneled entry. These modest yet significant touches became a character trait of homes of this brief but important era.

I can't wait to become a regular, try everything, and update with a fifth star! In addition to great food, what makes Vitamin T stand out among the rest are the creative twists to simple, good food. Just walking up, I could feel the energy from the people hanging out on the patio and the (good) music filling the area. I almost walked right past the patio entrance in front of the main entrance, but luckily someone else was coming out so I noticed it. The place was hopping, but it wasn't too crowded, and you really have to expect that the first few days of a new place Downtown. Personally, I think it just adds to the excitement. I couldn't decide what I wanted to try first, so I went with three tacos ($7) and the Vitamin T Green Salad. The guy taking my order was super nice and seemed happy to be there (always a plus in my book). Add on a nice, refreshing lemonade for $1.50 and off to the salsa bar I go! A good variety of salsa and even a few non-salsas. I loved the grilled onions, I could eat those as a side instead of a topping. And then there was some sort of pickled carrot, jalapeno and garlic concoction that I had to try. Standing at one of the cool tequila barrels, waiting for my number to be called, I was really jealous of the dudes on the patio drinking their beers with their delicious food. As much as I wanted to stay and also have a beer (or margarita), SOME of us had to go back to work (insert cartoon music... Whaw Whaw Whaaa). Finally, back at my desk, ready to taste it all! Out of the three tacos, the barbacoa was by far my favorite. The chicken and veggie tacos were good, too, but that barbacoa had a flavor that still makes my mouth water. As a salad lover, I have to say this was a great one. I didn't get any meat on it, so it was perfect complement to my tacos. Probably more than I needed, but I had to try it. The jicama and arugula in the salad really make a regular salad into something great; and that creamy avocado lime dressing... YUM! Turns out, my nutrition has been lacking all along; I've been missing my Vitamin T! Now that I know where to get my fix, I see many more trips in my future! Vitamin T is located at 1 E.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 11.19.10 There is a time when a nice couch and good lighting works wonders on the end-of-night brain. Such was the case with our evening jaunt to The Living Room. I'd barely heard about the place previously, but am planning to return, try more food, look over their menu more thoroughly. When I do, I'll report back, but my advice is go and see for yourself. You might be in just the mood I was. A friend and I shared cheese fondue ($7.95) and we each had a Cherry Manhattan made with Beam Cherry Bourbon. The two other friends split a huge cheeseburger with fries and some chicken wings, but I have to say I hadn't seen fondue in like a zillion years and it was fun and nice and great to split with a vegetarian. Now the Manhattans were über sweet, a dessert drink really, but different. I'd look more closely next time. You ever just JUMPED a menu? Just pick a drink and a food that leaps out? That's what happened and that's why I want to further explore. Why go back? SERVICE! Professional, friendly and really charming service. Chelsea and Jeremy were our servers, and it's true, you feel comfortable in this place. What's not to like about a modern leather sofa and servers who, seeing you are dipping fries into the fondue, bring over a whole plate of their seasoned fries gratis? Nice people, nice place, deserving of more research! And though they don't have outdoor seating, it's coming, so I'll list it.

Remember back when MTV had its Rock ‘N’ Jock basketball games? We’d get to see celebrities playing basketball and acting silly. It was a lot of fun. MTV did away with Rock 'N' Jock long ago, but we  have a nice, and in some ways better, replacement here in Phoenix. On Saturday, January 29, the Phoenix Suns will host their 10th annual Jack in the Box Celebrity Shootout presented by Robert and Carole Machiz at US Airways Center. For those of us in Phoenix, this is the perfect replacement to the old Rock ‘N’ Jock games. Sure, we don’t have a team named the Bricklayers or a 25-point basket, but we do get to attend the games live and get to see some of our favorite movie stars and musicians up close and personal, joking around and having a fun time. Oh, and it’s not full of B-list celebrities like Dean Cain. We get real stars. This year’s rosters have yet to be released, but if they're anything like that of past events, we’ll be in for a treat. In the previous nine years of the Celebrity Shootout we’ve seen Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx, American Idol and local product Jordin Sparks and hip-hop god (but horrible actor) Common. Oh, and Dean Cain. Not only do you get to see celebrities in a different environment, you get the option to hang out with them the night before, January 28, at the Celebrity Affair Party in Scottsdale. How often do you get the chance to hang with some of your favorite actors? Exactly. To top it all off, all proceeds go to benefit Phoenix Suns charities and Nite Hoops. You have no reason not to go. Buy tickets, go to the event and have a good time, all while supporting a good cause.

But co-owners TJ Jordan and Steve Zimmerman are planning to make it more of a unique hang-out spot by adding a coffee bar in the space in 2011. The store, which relocated from Melrose to Roosevelt Row in 2009, has a selection of more than 25,000 new and used LPs along with many CDs, DVDs, new and used turntables, collectibles, books pertaining to music and movies, audio accessories and small electronics. It also offers free Wi-Fi, and Jordan and Zimmerman love to host First Friday events. However, Jordan thinks a coffee component could help business even more. [caption id="attachment_11376" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Revolver Records will soon offer coffee along with its selection of LPs and live events. Photo by Jack London."][/caption] Jordan says he wanted to appeal to the customers who are not really interested in music and don't have anything to do while their friends browse for records. “What’s something that everybody would want to partake in while they’re shopping? Coffee,” Jordan says. “So, what we were thinking is, we’ll have a record-store-slash-café so that way people can come in, they can get a cappuccino and they can shop for their records and enjoy this space.” Jordan adds that the customers who are interested in music will benefit from it as well, and not just because the drinks will have rock-and-roll-themed names. “We want to provide something a little different for our customers so they can experience record stores in a different way,” he says. “Instead of coming in and just looking for something, they can hang out and discuss (music).” Jordan says his main project right now is revitalizing First Friday by helping to bring vendors back, but once that is rolling, he plans to start work on the coffee element. Once the renovations begin, he anticipates it will probably take less than a month to complete. There are two main options for constructing the café, according to Jordan. The first and preferred method is inside the store in an area currently occupied by two couches and several tables of records. The second option is outside of the store in a container-type building, which wouldn’t require the store to reduce the size of its record collection. Jordan says he hasn’t seen many record stores build coffee shops in their spaces, but he was inspired to add one after visiting the Laurel Canyon Country Store in Los Angeles, which has a successful coffee shop right outside the store. He also recalled the popularity of coffee shops in bookstores. “I think it’s going to be really exciting once it gets done, and I think it’ll be a good addition to the Downtown culture,” he says.

Cowley House, its next-door neighbor, the Roger Hofford House, was also built in 1941 by architect/builder Paul M. Burroway. Its Monterey style blends nicely with the house next door, creating an Alvarado duo with near-exact materials and architectural form. The Hofford House utilizes a stone foundation and brick exterior as well, but some stylistic flourishes differ, notably Burroway's use of carved rafter ends and a decorative tile entry. The gabled, high-pitched roof is adorned with asphalt shingles, but the inside reveals exposed rafters and less of a focus on the French Provincial style. The off-center wood-paneled entry is typical of this early-'40s style, but Burroway added two notable traits: integration of a garage and a centralized chimney, still a rarity in these parts. The original front-entry overhang no longer remains, presumably to brighten the doorway. Simple with some remarkable little flourishes, the Hofford House sits as an unassuming look into '30s and '40s Phoenix, much like its counterpart next door.

And no, we don’t mean the beloved actor. Abe Vigoda is a punk band turned electro-wave from Chino, CA, a suburb of LA. Juan Velazquez, Michael Vidal, David Reichardt and Dane Chadwick recently released their fourth full-length album, Crush, in September 2010. The band has come a long way since forming in 2004, when Vidal and Velazquez started making music in high school.

[caption id="attachment_11401" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Abe Vigoda plays at the Rhythm Room February 2"][/caption] DPJ recently spoke with Velazquez about life on the road, the new album, favorite books to read on tour and the band’s very own Arizona connection.

Chadwick, the band’s newest member, is from Phoenix, and he brought along more than Arizona roots and his drum kit to practice. “He was into electronic music,” Velazquez recalls. “He had a sampler, and was like,’Hey, let’s try to use this.’” In between their last record, Skeleton, and Crush, a two-year gap changed not only their influences, but the band’s sound. So, their once harsh punk sound became a more electronic dark wave along the lines of The XX and The Bravery. It adds to the band’s dynamic, according to Valazquez, noting that they didn’t want to make the same record twice. “It was all those things that made the record,” Velazquez says. With the record coming out in late 2010, the band has only had a couple months to stop and relax before jumping back on the road to continue promotion. Since 2009, the band has hit the road off and on with bands such as Lovvers and Vampire Weekend, before trekking to Europe. You’d think with that much time on the road, they’d listen to a lot of music. Not so, according to Velazquez. Spoken word, podcasts and books, including Glamorama, are Velazquez’s preference. While the band is on tour, Arizona is usually one of their first stops since they are coming from LA. One of Abe Vigoda’s favorite Phoenix hangouts? The Bikini Lounge, of course. “After about 30 shows, we’re out of our minds,” Velazquez says. “So, in the beginning, we’re excited.” Good thing they arrive on night number two of their upcoming tour with Wild Nothing. “We’re going to be sharing a van with them, so we’re going to be really close,” Velazquez mentions. A 12-person van with eight people plus equipment is not the average person’s idea of a good time, but Velazquez isn’t too worried. “Us and Wild Nothing are a good match,” Velazquez explains. All eight of these boys roll into the Rhythm Room on Wednesday, February 2 for a gig with Phoenix band Gospel Claws. Tickets are $10 online and $12 at the door. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E.

They've been pretty awful, and the team's play has looked very uninspired at many times, especially in the last month or so. The team has been on life support for quite some time. I think they were even in a brief coma (see losses to the Clippers, 76ers and Kings). Going into tonight's matchup with the visiting Portland Trailblazers, the Suns are five games below .500 with a 16-21 record, currently three games in back of Portland for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. When you consider their play, being just three games out isn't too bad, and certainly puts them within striking range to make a push for that final playoff spot. If Phoenix is going to make that push, it needs to happen now.

[caption id="attachment_11416" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Vince Carter had a breakout game against the Nets earlier this week. Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images."][/caption] The Suns have reached a point where they need to decide if they're going to move forward with what they have or finally do the unthinkable and move two-time MVP Steve Nash. I'm in the boat that says they should still stick with Nash. Can the Suns compete for a championship? Absolutely not, but they can certainly get back into the playoff picture while playing an exciting brand of basketball. If the Suns can put together a streak of five wins in a row or seven out of eight, things would start looking a lot better on Planet Orange. I know I'm going to get blasted for this, but Wednesday's overtime win against the Nets could turn out to be the type of win that sparks a team. In the fourth quarter and OT, we saw something we haven't seen from the Suns in a while. They showed fight. They played with passion. They finally had a bounce in their step. Fans in attendance Wednesday night saw a change in the players in the latter portion of the game. Everyone at US Airways Center rose to their feet and chanted "defense" without having a PA announcer or a jumbo-tron tell them to do so. That never happens in Phoenix. Vince Carter showed signs of life, making some big plays down the stretch. Goran Dragic shared time in the backcourt with Nash and his confidence immediately jumped. Jared Dudley continued to be in baller mode. And Nash, was well, Nash. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of an overtime win against the lowly Nets. I'm not saying people should get too excited with this win. I'm just saying the Suns aren't dead yet. Lets leave the plug in a little longer and see if Nash and company can be revived.]]> 11412 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/01/25/dpj-yelper-week-dallas-roose-parlour-spa/ Tue, 25 Jan 2011 07:01:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11339 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

AJ, who's been cutting my hair for a couple years, is incredible. Each year, one stylist from OUR WHOLE WONDERFUL COUNTRY is chosen to represent THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA in an huge hair show in France. A couple years ago, AJ was that person. She's really quite talented. Like Edward Scissorhands, but female, and not sporting severe social anxiety disorder. And her skin is radiant and not ghostly white. And her hair is not jet black. Ohh, and her hands are not knives! But other than that, she's exactly like Edward Scissorhands, sculpting works of art out of shapeless masses. I have not had the pleasure of LeAnne's services yet, but she's über professional. I'm quite satisfied to believe that when she waxes the hair eloquently away from your skin it will hurt less than when others do it. Go here. Live it. Love it. It's the real dealio...

Phoenix, AZ Five-star rating 08.28.10 I fell in love with this little shop. It's not strictly limited to home and garden, though. I just had to make a Yelp choice. What it is is a nonprofit that seeks to encourage the community to consider reusing and repurposing items, rather than discarding them. The owners have a mission to help individuals out of homelessness in a sustainable way, and the shop supports that mission. Some of the items for sale are created by local people who were struggling with homelessness. My friend and I enjoyed chatting with Lorel, the lovely owner, and sharing local resources. They carry Strawberry Hedgehog's locally crafted and organic soaps, handcrafted jewelry, organic cotton clothing and more. They are also starting a loaner bicycle service Downtown. I bought some great jewelry, some Healing Mineral Shaving Soap for my son in Seattle, and a cute bracelet handcrafted by local African refugee women.

Cowley House and the Roger Hofford House are lined up in a row with the Robert E. Tweedy House on Alvarado Road, but the Tweedy House preceded both of the homes built in 1941 by Paul M. Burroway. Built two years prior in 1939 by A.D. McClain, this Monterey-style house couldn't look much more different than its two next-door neighbors. At first glance, you notice the stucco wall sheathing and the classic shutters. The beet-red door gives a cream-colored home a vibrant flash. And, interestingly, it is one of the few houses on this side of Alvarado Road partially covered by foliage. McClain built the home using a stone foundation and a wood frame. Most of the features are classical and subtle, such as the low-pitched gabled roof. Of note is the cornice molding, which still looks impeccable today. An off-center wood-paneled entry and broad front-side window are typical traits of this style and era, but two original features have since disappeared: a canopied front porch and a carport that extended off the west side of the house. Though one of the earliest examples of the brief boom of Alvarado, the Tweedy House sports some serious curb appeal in a neighborhood of understated class.

Pure hell,” is how Alex Bank Rollins, the band's guitarist, describes their new album. Drone Throne will be releasing their first full-length album after three years together. They’ve been playing musical chairs with members for a while, but now the lineup is set and they like it that way. Drone Throne is Garrett Ranous (vocals), Rollins, Andy Leemont (bass) and Taylor Kienzle (drums). In the summer of 2008, Ranous and Rollins started the band with Rollins’ brother for fun, and they ended up recorded five songs. After adding and subtracting members, Leemont joined the group. It took a while to get in sync. “Andy joined, and he started playing guitar, then bass; then I played bass and then switched to guitar,” Rollins recalls. Kienzle joined the band shortly after, completing the team.

[caption id="attachment_11459" align="aligncenter" width="576" caption="Gilbert-based metal band Drone Throne will play at Revolver Records on Saturday, January 29."][/caption]

A couple days ago, they started recording for the new record in Leemont’s living room. Kienzle says they had just listened to a rough mix in the car right before the time of interview. Their goal is to have it out by end of March or early April. “It’s not as slow as it used to be,” Ranous says of their sound. “It’s still pretty doomy, but kind of crusty and kind of punk.” Yet the band’s influences are quite a surprise. “Our biggest influence is Mindless Self Indulgence and then it’s Atmosphere,” Ranous says, prompting Rollins to shout, “WHAT?!” “All in all, Black Flag and Black Sabbath,” Ranous admits after the uproar. With each new song comes a new writing process. “Garrett will write it on piano. Sometimes he’ll just write the lyrics,” Leemont explains. Rollins adds, “Sometimes he’ll rap it to us.” Now that’s not something you hear every day about a band’s writing process. Ranous proceeds to rap possibly the dirtiest lyrics since the Ying Yang Twins' last hit single. Just by the sounds of it, Ranous’ chances of being tomorrow’s next big rapper are out the window. But with the new record comes touring. Drone Throne hopes to tour the South and Midwest during the summer, but for now, the band will do weekend trips to LA to play shows. One thing that is guaranteed to be packed in the Drone Throne van: a fog machine, which Kienzle refers to as the band's fifth member. “I’m getting used to playing drums not being able to see 2 inches in front of my face,” Kienzle says of the fog machine's output. So, beware, you may not actually be able to see the band next weekend at Revolver Records. Drone Throne will rock the store's confines on January 29 with Pigeonwing. There’s no way you can leave without a once-in-a-lifetime experience after seeing this band.

They were coming off a blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets in which the team played with little or no effort and they were sitting six games below .500 with a 15-21 record. Today, the Suns find themselves in the middle of a five-game East Coast road trip and things are starting to look up. The Suns, now winners of four straight, have moved up to the ninth seed in the West and are currently making a hard-fought push to get into the playoff picture. Their record has jumped to 19-21 and can continuing improving with a win tonight against a bad Wizards team.

[caption id="attachment_11501" align="aligncenter" width="592" caption="Steve Nash and the Suns are suddenly riding a four-game winning streak. Photo by David Liam Kyle/Getty Images."][/caption] Looking ahead at the upcoming schedule, the Suns have the chance to run the table on this trip and earn to a winning record for the first time in a very long time. In fact, the rest of the month is pretty favorable for Phoenix. If the Suns can continue to beat the teams they should beat, the momentum they build could carry over and turn into wins against some tougher opponents. Despite the horrible stretch of basketball this team recently had, the Suns may actually be in a pretty good spot. The three teams above Phoenix in the playoff race are such big question marks that the Suns could surpass them all before the 82-game regular season is through. This will require obvious improvements from Planet Orange, but it's entirely possible. Portland, as resilient as they are, could easily start to slide as their knee injuries continue to pile up. Denver remains sidetracked by Carmelo Anthony trade talk, and if they trade him, which I think they will, they'll have a tough time recovering and finishing the season strong. Then there's New Orleans, who I haven't favored all year. Sure, the Suns have still had their issues, like letting Cleveland back into the game Wednesday night, but overall this team is starting to come around. The guys are finally starting to mesh. Coach Gentry seems to have a solid rotation. Each guy knows his role. Marcin Gortat is coming around. Vince Carter is giving max effort, picking up rebounds and dishing out assists even when he isn't scoring. Goran Dragic is becoming more aggressive. Channing Frye has found his stroke and picked up his D. Jared Dudley continues to get better and better. And Steve Nash and Grant Hill still amaze us every night. Planet Orange is starting to show signs of life. Basketball is fun again.]]> 11493 0 0 0 5038 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/01/26/arizona-room-luhrs-building/ Thu, 27 Jan 2011 01:51:08 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11513 is a weekly column examining the historic, reuse and infill structures in Downtown Phoenix.

13 W. Jefferson St. (light rail at Central/Washington westbound or 1st Ave/Jefferson eastbound)

When Phoenix businessman George Luhrs opened this 10-story office tower on Central and Jefferson on April 1, 1924, it was the tallest building in the city. Though it would be usurped three years later when the Westward Ho opened its doors, the legacy of the Luhrs Building is far greater than its 10 floors. Very few buildings in the city can realistically be labeled as icons, but the Luhrs Building certainly makes the list. Noted for its three-part vertical composition, the brick-clad building has some of the most beautiful concrete ornamentation this side of the Mississippi. It doesn't slouch inside, either. A handsome ground floor is surmounted by a mezzanine level ornamented with panels in its piers. Toward the top, the brick shaft ends with a two-story arcade, famously adorned with a bracketed balcony and a widely corniced roof. The price tag for a building so stunning? Just around $553,000. Since its opening, the lobby has been altered and updated, but the floors above remain structurally untouched. The Luhrs Building is still ornate as ever, and still rightfully serving the Phoenix business community (and skyline) proudly.

Little Dragon is an electronic indie band from Gothenburg, Sweden, that has recently gotten bigger in the states. Yukimi Nagano, Erik Bodin, Fredrik Källgren Wallin and Håkan Wirenstrand formed the band in high school in 2006. When recording, Nagano would get easily frustrated and the band started calling her “Little Dragon” as a nickname. Hence, the band name. Nagano, of Swedish-Japanese decent, has one of the most beautiful, interesting and sometimes quirky singing voices you’ll ever hear. In some songs, she’ll be calm and collective and in others you’ll be lost in her words. The band popped up on the U.S. radar when their song “Twice” played on the show Grey’s Anatomy. And as they say, it’s all downhill (or uphill?) from there. They are touring now to support their 2009 self-titled album, but the tour was pushed back because Nagaro captivated the ears of the Gorillaz. She was recently on their latest record, Plastic Beach, as a guest vocalist. Not only has she played with Gorillaz, but she also collaborates with Jose Gonzalez. When Little Dragon is not here in the U.S., they are touring around Europe. So take the chance and go see them with Billygoat at The Rhythm Room on February 1. They won’t be back in the States for a while. Tickets are sold out, but maybe you can make a friend at the door. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E.

Thanks to Tyler Hurst for giving us permission to republish this post.

I’ve had a tough time feeling inspired lately. The sometimes daily struggle of making ends meet, getting paid for what I do and changing my diet and somewhat lethargic lifestyle has taken its toll on me. This is no one’s fault. I’ve made more than a few decisions that have made my life immeasurably harder and I’m paying for each and every one of those in nearly anything I do. But that’s cool. I went to TEDxPhxDC last night with high hopes. I wanted to be blown away by designy people and I wanted to be impressed. I made it through three presentations and then left because I was very tired. But I didn’t leave disappointed or empty handed. I left feeling a bit validated. I left feeling that at least some of my more questionable decisions actually made sense. I left feeling inspired. Being a good neighbor is extremely important to me. Not just the obvious things, like keeping your stereo down and not planning late-night parties during the week, but a sense of looking out for some greater good, even if that requires a short-term sacrifice. Most people don’t really know each other. We’re polite and we’re cordial and we’re seldom forced to work together. We usually don’t have to, as the sprawl of Phoenix metro allows each of us to escape from whoever they want every single night. This NIMBY philosophy has always infuriated me, but I know that changing it first means it must be recognized. I tried to do that at November 2009′s RadiatePHX meeting at Local Breeze. I wanted to force people to reconsider what was actually happening in the city, what really needed to be done and how hard it was going to be. An unhealthy amount of liquid courage, a few shots of espresso and a remixed rant later, I felt like an absolute failure. I ranted on stage, I bitched on Twitter and unleashed a level of vitriol that, while completely true, didn’t do anything to help. I’ve always regretted that night. But that was yesterday. That was before Jim McPherson showed me his list. Before Jim got on stage at TEDxPhxDC last night and talked about what we can all do to leave our mark. If Jim, who has a track record of getting things done, can manage to check off even a quarter of what he’s set out to accomplish, then my personal failure was worth it. While I definitely would have liked to convey my points more eloquently and, if you’ll forgive me, less confrontationally, it worked. I traded something I had plenty of (confidence) for something Jim lacked at the time (inspiration to make a list) and we’ve now both been rewarded. Being a good neighbor means a lot more than keeping within yourself and sharing a cup of flour. It also means making do of what you have, who people are and how things come together. It means being okay with being wrong, but always striving to be right. I can’t say I’d do it all the same way again, but I can tell I’m glad I did. A note from the publisher: This is my account of a night long ago, and it's long, so feel free to skip it and comment to Tyler below. I read the above post last night and it brought back memories of a night that many of our readers experienced first-hand. To me, it is a profound testament to Time, not just as a wound healer, but as a key ingredient for growth and connections. It was November 2009, and a special edition of RadiatePHX. As host, I had contacted Tyler a few weeks before to ask a favor: would he please moderate a discussion about what is wrong with Downtown Phoenix? This was 180-degree change of perspective for this monthly gathering, and I knew Tyler was just the person to take this on. Not because he's a "hater," as some people lazily believe, but because he actually cares a great deal, and is stronger than most to pose the questions and challenges that most of us shy away from. Albeit, sometimes that is because most people edit their thoughts more appropriately, but I digress. One of the people who questioned me directly about Tyler leading the discussion was, yes, Jim McPherson.  I have known Jim for almost as long as I've been Downtown. Kevin Bacon has nothing on Jim. He is the most amazing connector I have met in my lifetime. Yet, this question from someone of Jim's caliber only seemed to reaffirm my brazen notion that this Tyler-led discussion would be an iconic, disruptive moment that would meld Downtown's veteran advocates with the newer voices of the Downtown scene. It would engender understanding of one another and fuse us together as we tackled the challenge of elevating Downtown, while enticing more people to experience this place we love! (See also Braveheart and Animal House) I believe in balanced problem-solving: listening to voices from opposite ends of a given spectrum and calibrating (what I believe to be) the best approach from there. For me, Tyler and Jim are the personification of that approach. They are very smart individuals, yet opposite in many ways, and I respect each of them. A few minutes before the event, I asked/stated to Tyler, "You know people don't believe you can do this, right?" We laughed and plunged ahead, not realizing a fuse had been lit. In some circles, that night has become known as "Tyler-gate." Our fearless moderator had what is commonly referred to as a meltdown and proceeded to shout over anyone and everyone's attempt to contribute to the discussion. I was in awe, as it became the worst version of lightning in a bottle. Publicly I've looked back with an involuntary laugh. It was simply an astonishing downward spiral display, and I had an unobstructed front-row seat. The memories of that night live on for many, one person reminisced to me about it just earlier this week. What they and Tyler don't know is how much I blamed myself. I was stunned, but surely I could have done something – anything – to mitigate the damage. I should have broken through to help a friend, one who had weeks before agreed to my challenge without hesitation. Tyler will undoubtedly brush that notion aside, I am sure. But, from there he moved on to develop CenPhoCamp with Yuri Artibise, and his love for Katie Charland, among other things. He seemed to have reached the peak (nadir?) of his disenchantment and strived for a better...life. And now this post above. Full circle, from Tyler to Jim, two of my favorite people.

This year the marketing scheme has been to promote the history of the team. Given the struggles of the current team, this is a move that makes sense. Despite having never won a championship, the Suns boast a rich history, full of many great players and teams. In fact, the organization has the fourth best all-time winning percentage out of all NBA teams — that's quite an accomplishment. The Suns are arguably the best professional sports franchise to never win a title. Point is, the Suns are trying to promote the idea that they don't stay down for long. They always find a way to bounce back after down years. This marketing ploy got me to thinking about all the players I've had the privilege of watching over the course of my 24 years. I've had the joy of seeing a lot of good ones, so I decided to come up with my all-time Suns team.

Point Guard: Steve Nash

Picking a starting point guard is by far the hardest position to choose on the Suns. I've witnessed Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. I even got to see them all on the same team! Heck, I was even fortunate enough to see the best year of Stephon Marbury's career. In the end, I had to go with Nash. Since returning to the Valley of the Sun, Captain Canada has been fantastic in every way. He turned the franchise around, won two MVPs and changed the way basketball is played throughout the league. Even while aging Nash has never lost a step. Factor in his viral videos plus the fact that he's a class act and he's an easy choice.

Shooting Guard: Dan Majerle

Majerle was my absolute favorite player growing up and no one has surpassed him yet. He was as tough as they come and had range like no other. He went from being booed when announced as a draft pick to becoming quite possibly the most popular player in franchise history. Two things from my childhood I'll never forget: Thunder Dan's eight three-pointers against the now dead Seattle Supersonics in the 1993 Western Conference Finals and Majerle jumping on the scorer's table that same year after hitting a game-winning three during the regular season.

Small Forward: Shawn Marion

The only player to ever even come close to rivaling Majerle on my all-time favorite Suns list was the Matrix, Shawn Marion. From the moment Marion first stepped on the court for the Suns he was instantly loved by the Suns. He did all the little things and was one of the best rebounders and defenders in Suns history. His multitude of highlight-reel dunks will forever be implanted in my brain but they always fall second to an offensive rebound he grabbed in game six of a first-round playoff series against the hated Lakers.

Power Forward: Charles Barkley

Sir Charles is like no one else on this list. His personality is second to none and his library of quotes is unmatched. Barkley is one of the rare players that made basketball an event. He made Suns fans of non-basketball fans. The Round Mound of Rebound put Phoenix in the national spotlight immediately and forever on the map. The first jersey I ever got as a kid was a purple #34 jersey and I still have it to this day (and it fits!). I don't expect to see another player in my lifetime have an impact the way Barkley did. The guy had a comic book about referee murders for crying out loud (which I totally own)!

Center: Amar'e Stoudemire

Maybe this is a cheat putting Stat here, but he did play center for quite a while and he has to make it in as a starter. Even though he's not a center by any means, he certainly put up better numbers at this position than any other Suns player I've ever seen in the five spot. Stoudemire matured and grew up in Phoenix both on and off the court. He started his career very limited on the offensive end but worked hard to develop into one of the most dominant players playing today. His powerful dunks and outgoing personality instantly made him a hit with the Phoenix fans. The expression he put on the face of Marbury after the wicked throwdown over Michael Olowokandi and the death of Anthoy Tolliver via facial will forever be etched into Suns history. So, there you have it, my all-time Suns starting five. If only there were a way to get those five on the court at the same time. It's definitely something that's fun to think about at least.]]> 11573 0 0 0 5136 http://www.arizonaonthecheap.com/phoenix-deals/suns-spot-all-time-suns-starting%c2%a0five/ 0 0 5138 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 5148 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 5138 169 5149 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/02/02/fresh-market-super-bowl-stock/ Wed, 02 Feb 2011 19:06:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11606 Market Updates Food Truck Fridays includes Short Leash Hot Dogs, Paradise Melts, Sunshine and Spice, Riteway Catering, Jamburritos and Sweet Republic from 11 a.m. to 1(ish) p.m. on Friday.

45 W. Jefferson St. (light rail at Central/Washington westbound or 1st Ave/Jefferson eastbound)

A few years after opening the Luhrs Building, Phoenix businessman George Luhrs was at it again, this time on the plot of his former residence a few doors west on Jefferson Street. The Luhrs Tower, built in 1929, was never Phoenix's tallest building (the title belonged to the Westward Ho at the time), but it was intended to be the city's first true "skyscraper" at 14 stories.

The building was designed by El Paso-based firm Trost & Trost, closely resembling noted buildings in the El Paso area, especially the O.T. Bassett Tower, which began construction around the same time. The steel frame is adorned with a cement-stucco shell and polychromed terra cotta ornamentation in the Streamlined Moderne style, a sort of Art Deco-like style also mimicked at the nearby Orpheum Lofts building.

Notably, unbroken piers and recessed spandrels make the building appear much smaller than it actually is. Though it is four stories taller than its older brother next door, it doesn't always appear as so. The building's ornate Spanish Colonial Revival detail is left in clusters at the base of the building and top of each rise of the tower.

A third Luhrs development, the Luhrs Hotel, existed directly northeast of the two buildings, almost exactly where the Hotel Palomar is set to rise at CityScape.

Though plans have come and gone to build hotels, office spaces and other high rises between the two Luhrs structures, the space between the two remains untouched at this time. One of the most ambitious projects announced during Phoenix's development boom included a 33-story office/residential tower and two 26-story hotels.

Need we say more? OK, yeah, we probably do. Stinkweeds owner and founder of Local First Arizona, Kimber Lanning, wants to not only support local music, but also put an end to the SB1070 boycott that honestly has been going on too long. Arizonans have been suffering long enough with bands skipping our state when on tour and Lanning is rewarding us with a great home-brewed show. [caption id="attachment_11631" align="aligncenter" width="540" caption="Kinch performs at Stinkweeds' Music Industry Party"][/caption] Some of the best Phoenix has to offer round out the bill: What Laura Says, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Kinch, Dry River Yacht Club, Colorstore and Hot Birds and the Chili Sauce. If you haven’t heard of at least one of these bands, that just means a.) you haven’t been reading Make the Scene and b.) your ears have been missing out on some good stuff. What Laura Says has a calm, harmonic sound with a splash of pop in their tunes. The band has played around the Valley for a number of years now and just played six shows in January. Needless to say, they’ve been very busy these past couple of weeks. Andrew Jackson Jihad is an acoustic, folk-punk, politically themed band that gained its start at Downtown Phoenix’s own Trunk Space. Sean Bonnette and Ben Gallaty make up AJJ. With only two members, it’s quite remarkable to see the amount of EPs, full-lengths and splits they’ve done over the past couple years. (It’s up to 20!) Kinch is an indie band that released its first full-length in 2008 and was awarded “Best Arizona album of 2008.” They’ve grown on the local scene and have played various dates on Vans Warped Tour and South by Southwest. Kinch has a folky sound mixed with fun piano resulting in an upbeat, Format-like vibe. Dry River Yacht Club has been featured on Make the Scene and are still a band that NEEDS to be on your iPod soon. With every song comes more addiction. With so many band members it might seem like the music would be chaotic, but their sound just creates this cradle for lead singer Garnet’s vocals. It is simply too good to put into words. Colorstore are on the indie side with snapping and stomping but have some surprise electronic elements in some songs, while others sound more like Iron and Wine. They’ve been working on a release A Fire, to be released in the spring. Hot Birds and the Chili Sauce are three lovely ladies full of soul, funk and rhythm. You’ll discover dance moves you never knew you had while watching them jive on stage. After all these bands, how can you NOT want to go? Spare yourself one $5 footlong and go to a great show. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E. Indian School Rd. in Midtown.

He is fascinated by the points where the sky meets the land, the land meets the ocean and the ocean meets the sky. “These are places where vast, boundless horizons intersect far away,” Wiley says. “That meeting place is such an interesting place.” Wiley has painted various landscapes, focusing on these meeting places, and they will be displayed at the Rendezvous: New Landscapes exhibit opening this month at After Hours Gallery.

Gallery owner Mike Oleskow says that sometimes people want to be taken away by a painting to a calmer, more beautiful and more reflective environment, and that Wiley’s art draws viewers in and captivates them. “It’s like a conversation with a close friend,” Oleskow says. “You just want to hang out there for a bit, even if you’re not talking.” Wiley grew up in the rural Midwest and moved to Arizona in 1995. He currently works out of a studio in Downtown Phoenix, but his art has been displayed around the country. Rendezvous opens on February 4 from 6 to 10 p.m. for First Friday, and can be seen on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment until March 1.

In honor of the show, DPJ would like to share two recipes from her: one for Chinese New Year and one for Superbowl:

Sticky Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings for Superbowl

Recipe courtesy of Doreen Fang. Serves four.

• 2 lbs chicken drumettes/wingettes
• 3 cloves garlic, microplane grated
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 4 Tbsp *Aloha Shoyu brand soy sauce
• 4 Tbsp hoisin
• 5 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp golden brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Sriracha chili sauce
• 1 tsp Ichimi togarashi (Japanese chili pepper)
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 stalk green onions, cut on a bias for garnish
• Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Rinse and pat dry chicken and set aside in a ziplock bag. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and combine well, except green onions and sesame seeds. Pour half of the sauce in the ziplock bag with the chicken, close and refrigerate for three hours. Pour the remaining half of the sauce into a small sauce pan and reduce till thickened over med/low heat. Be careful not to let it boil over. Lower heat if needed. Once thickened, set aside till ready to be used and reheat before you serve the chicken. Preheat oven to 425º F. In a baking pan, lined with foil, lightly oil foil. Line up the chicken in a single layer. Bake, turning the chicken once during the baking process. Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes depending on how big the drumettes/wingettes are. Remove chicken from oven and put wings into in large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sticky sauce over chicken, toss, plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve. *Note: If you cannot find Aloha Shoyu and are using a high-sodium soy sauce, cut the amount of salt in half.

Pot Stickers for Chinese New Year

Recipe courtesy of Doreen Fang. Serves four.

• 3 packs potsticker wrappers
• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 cups Napa cabbage, finely diced (1 medium-sized head of cabbage)
• 3 tsp kosher salt
• 2 bunches green onions, finely diced
• ¼ cup sake
• 1 c + 2 Tbsp William Sonoma’s Sesame Ginger Soy Marinade
• ¼ cup Aloha brand shoyu (soy sauce)
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp sugar, granulated

Preparing the filling Set aside potsticker wrappers in refrigerator. To prepare the filling for your potstickers, julienne and finely dice the Napa cabbage, place in a large bowl, add 3 tsp of salt and mix thoroughly. Allow this to sit for five minutes, then gently squeeze the cabbage to remove excess water. Transfer the cabbage to another large bowl, add the ground beef and minced green onions, and combine thoroughly with remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to assemble the potstickers. Making the potstickers Fold a wet paper towel on a plate and place a wrapper on the towel to moisten the skin. Put the wrapper in your hand dry side down, place 1 teaspoon of the potsticker filling in the center. Bring both sides up to form a half moon and use your index finger and thumb to seal the center border only. Create two pleats along each side , the complete by sealing the border tightly. Cooking In a medium nonstick pan, heat 2 Tbs of vegetable oil over medium high heat.  Place potstickers side-by-side in a circular-pattern, filling the pan from the edge to the center.  Add enough water to cover about ¾ the height of the potstickers.  Cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium.  Cook until the water is completely evaporated and the bottom of the potstickers are a golden brown.  Plate and serve with accompanying dipping sauce.

Potsicker Garlic Cilantro Dipping Sauce

Recipe courtesy of Doreen Fang

• 1/3 cup green onions, minced
• 4 cloves garlic, grated with a microplane
• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
• ½ cup Aloha shoyu (soy sauce)
• 1-1/2 tsp Sesame seed oil
• 4-5 Tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp Sriracha

To prepare the garlic cilantro dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, cover and allow the sauce to sit for about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to individual dipping cups for serving. Recipe makes approximately 90-100 potstickers (can be made ahead, keep frozen until you are ready to cook them).

About Doreen

Doreen Fang was born and raised in Southern California, with the exception of a year in Minnesota and four years in Las Vegas. Doreen’s parents emigrated from China by way of Taiwan and finally settled in Southern California. Growing up in a Chinese home meant a lot of Chinese food. Her love for food and constantly helping her mother in the kitchen was a big influence in the development of Doreen’s love for cooking. It was Doreen’s adventurous and independent nature that really catapulted her into the kitchen to start cooking non-Chinese foods. Doreen is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco (1996) with a specialty in California cuisine. While in culinary school, she and her business partner, Anna Johnson, started a successful boutique catering business, Apropos Culinary Artistry, in the San Francisco Bay area. One of Doreen’s accomplishments was to become a finalist on season six of The Next Food Network Star. Her bright and charming personality won the hearts of the casting directors at the Food Network. Her time on the show has won many hearts across the country. Doreen is currently pursuing a career in television where she will host her own show highlighting food, traveling and people. A preview of this can be seen by following Doreen’s blog at diningwithdoreen.com. In addition, Doreen is relocating her catering business to the Los Angeles area with Johnson. The pair are currently working on a cookbook as well as the possibly opening a restaurant in Southern California. Doreen’s mission in life is to explore and learn about new countries, cuisines, cultures, and people. It is her goal to integrate her love for food and people into one show. “Food is the common thread that binds all human beings together” said Doreen, and through her incredible ability to connect with people on all levels, she has a way of reaching others through their hearts and stomachs!]]> 11668 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/02/04/suns-spot-hammer-time/ Fri, 04 Feb 2011 23:08:36 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11683 Previous week's games 02/02/2011 SUNS 92, Bucks 77 Upcoming week's games 02/04/2011 SUNS vs Thunder, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 02/07/2011 SUNS @ Warriors, 8:30 p.m., My45 02/10/2011 SUNS vs Warriors, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona

[caption id="attachment_11685" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Marcin Gortat has found his stride in Phoenix. Photo by Barry Gossage/Getty Images."][/caption] In his first three-and-a-half years in the league, Marcin Gortat had six double-doubles. In his last eight games, he's doubled that number. While playing in Orlando, Gortat saw limited minutes as he backed up arguably the best center in the NBA, Dwight Howard. It was in those limited minutes that Gortat showed flashes of what could be in a larger role and often had him touted as the best backup center in the Association. Needless to say, the Polish Hammer was very excited to join a Phoenix Suns team that for as long as I can remember has been searching for that one true center that could actually have a positive impact on the game. Now that Marcin is finally getting regular playing time, he is proving that the speculation about how good he could be given the opportunity may have been right. In fact, he may actually be better than advertised. When the Suns acquired Gortat from the Orlando Magic in a multiplayer deal, he was pegged as a good defender and rebounder with limited offensive moves. Having seen very little of his game myself, I pictured him as a big, lumbering guy that would not be very mobile or athletic. Boy, have I been wrong. Since joining the Suns, Gortat has proven to be quite the athlete. On the defensive end he moves his feet very well. He's able to cover a lot of ground by getting out and helping apply pressure on guards and still get back to rebounding position — something the Suns have lacked for quite some time. He's a pretty solid post defender and even though he doesn't necessarily block a ton of shots, he does force players into taking tougher shots. On the other end of the floor is where Gortat has really been a pleasant surprise. Before arriving in the Valley, Gortat had never scored more than 16 points in a game. Not only has he matched that, he recently had a stretch of three straight games in which he set a new career high each night out. The Polish Hammer has turned out to be a great pick-and-roll mate for Steve Nash, able to finish around the basket and hit a 15-foot jumper on a regular basis. Gortat clearly loves to play with Nash, recently joking that he was going to help Nash win another MVP and move him back to the number one spot in assists, stating that while Boston's Rajon Rondo is great, he's not better than Nash. Coming in with career averages of 4 points and 4 rebounds, Gortat has raised his averages to 10 and 7 with Phoenix. His numbers continued to go up, as he's averaged 16 and 9 in his last five games. If Gortat keeps playing at this high level, there's certainly a good chance that Nash's assists numbers will continue to rise as well, but more importantly the team will pick up more wins and have a chance to get back in the playoff hunt.]]> 11683 0 0 0 5151 http://www.arizonaonthecheap.com/phoenix-deals/suns-spot-hammer%c2%a0time/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/02/08/lgo-public-house-relocate/ Tue, 08 Feb 2011 19:46:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11703 AZCentral first reported this morning that LGO Public House has backed out of its CityScape location. The modern tavern was set to open in about six weeks between Vitamin T and The Arrogant Butcher on 1st Street, but, citing ventilation issues, left the project entirely. LGO officials claim to be considering alternative locations in Downtown Phoenix and beyond. Social media has been buzzing all day with suggested alternatives. The former PastaBAR and Circles Discs and Tapes locations (on 1st and McKinley streets and Central Avenue and McKinley Street, respectively) have been mentioned, as well as the deteriorating Knipe House on 2nd and Portland streets, which is in the processing of receiving bids to repair damage from a fire last year.

Reddin, whose passion for locally made, handcrafted, artisinal works radiated throughout the walls of the Uptown store, will be missed by art buffs, neighbors and customers alike. Below is a statement from Lisa Olson and Kara Roschi, who took over the day-to-day operations of Practical Art earlier this year. The store will remain in business according to Reddin's wishes. — DPJ staff Hello, Everyone: We wanted to let you know that Jane Reddin, our good friend and the founder of Practical Art, passed away on February 6 after a long and hard-fought battle with leukemia. We know this message will reach people who knew Jane in a variety of contexts—as family, friend, lawyer, board member, community advocate, volunteer, environmentalist, art enthusiast, and through her vision here at Practical Art. Whatever your relationship with Jane, we know that any life she touched will greatly feel her loss. The central Phoenix community that she lived in, worked in, spent her time in, and greatly loved, feels much emptier today. We miss her terribly. In April 2010, Jane was diagnosed with leukemia and was admitted for treatment at Phoenix’s Good Samaritan Hospital. In July, she moved to a Dallas-Forth Worth facility near her sister, Patty, and received a bone marrow transplant from her brother, Jim. Jim came from New York to Texas to make both the initial donation and a second donation, made in November in an attempt to get Jane into remission a second time. Jane was released to her sister’s home with an optimistic prognosis, but some negative test results placed her back in the hospital where she fought this disease with the positive attitude and strength that were characteristic of her. We were fortunate to visit Jane in November and found her as determined to battle as ever. At the turn of the New Year we were all still hopeful Jane would return but Jane, ever the realist, decided to transfer ownership of Practical Art to us. We had been at the helm since her hospitalization and she wanted to have the business continue if at all possible even if she did not recover. Despite her strength and the outstanding support of those near and dear to her, we lost Jane on February 6. We will be doing all in our power to operate Practical Art as a living memorial to her. Particulars on services are still being determined. We will update you on details as soon as we know them. The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Jane’s honor to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society: http://www.lls.org/hm_lls We will be here at the shop for our regular hours and we would appreciate it if you would come by and remember Jane with us. It feels right to be here, in this space that she created and filled with her hard work, passion, and spirit. It will comfort us to share memories with you, our (and her) friends. Our lives were impacted immeasurably by this amazing and dynamic woman. We will always be very, very grateful for the time we were able to spend with Jane even if it was cut short far too soon.

The inspiration for this column stems from the ever-expanding resources in Burton Barr Central Library's Arizona Room (located on the second floor). For further information on this and other historic structures in the area, visit the Arizona Room during normal library hours.

234 N. Central Ave. (light rail at Central Station)

The intersection of Central Avenue and Van Buren Street is dotted with notable buildings — the state's tallest, Chase Tower, and a historically designated boutique hotel, the San Carlos, among others. Yet one that is often overlooked, the Security Building, is perhaps the most architecturally interesting. A (mostly) eight-story office building constructed with three-part vertical composition, the building has been a Phoenix fixture since 1928. Though brick sheathed, it is actually a fully concrete frame, with cast concrete ornamentation. A nine-story Renaissance-inspired articulated tower looms above the entrance. The building was designed by LA firm Curlett & Beelman. The glass cupola at its peak, now used as a flagpole base, once projected a beacon of light that could be seen 30 miles away. The entrance of the Security Building is crowned with a well-modeled broken pediment. The shaft above the entrance houses a bracketed balcony and a band of formally framed windows. The tip of the entrance tower rises to an attic space with a Palladian arrangement of arches, niches, panels and pilasters adorned with a flagpole post. The '60s brought some minor renovations to the base of the tower (excluding the rusticated foot, which remains in its original form) and the addition of a penthouse unit. All renovations carefully maintained the original integrity of the building. When the building opened, produce brokers were the main tenants of its office spaces. Today, Maricopa County, Phoenix Community Alliance and ASU's Phoenix Urban Research Lab occupy the building. The Security Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1985.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, why not take that special someone to a show to express your love? Chicago-based Smith Westerns play tonight at The Rhythm Room with label mates Yuck. Cullen and Cameron Omori, Max Kakacek and Colby Hewitt make full, sappy, love songs with some unlikely vocals. Think: If you were watching any Michael Cera movie, they’d likely fit on the soundtrack. In other words, it's simple garage rock with that great melody that you crave. Smith Westerns have been zigzagging the U.S. behind their 2009 self-titled album and Dye It Blonde, released less than a month ago. Seems like they just got their licenses and hit the road. Band members' ages range 17 through 19. Before they had a car they toured with Nobunny, and their fame grew from there. Music magazines from around the country, along with digital hipster bible Pitchfork, have picked up on the band, but it wasn’t until their latest release, featuring the single, "Weekend," that they got some serious attention. With influences ranging from The Beatles to David Bowie to T. Rex, the varied sound lends to a diverse crowd. So come on, take your date out for a nice surprise. Dedicate “Girl in Love” or “Be My Girl” to really impress him or her. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E. Indian School Rd. in Midtown.

Here are further excerpts from food editor Justin Lee's session with the famed foodie. DPJ: Which of your reviews has generated the most feedback? Bickford: That's hard to say. I don't get a lot of comments on the blog, maybe because I tend to be measured in my wording and not make outrageous statements. I've gotten some nice feedback via Twitter for my reviews of Giant Coffee and Caffe Boa. That feedback meant a great deal because it came from individuals who have actually written restaurant criticism for a living. DPJ: How do you decide what restaurants to cover next? For lesser known establishments, do you strategically pick a particular station and fan out from there? Bickford: I read just about every traditional media source, discussion board and blog related to Phoenix dining and often find tips about new places opening via those channels. Twitter is also great for rumors and breaking news. In a few cases, I've discovered places on my own just by poking around little strip malls near rail stations. I'd say that many of the restaurants I've covered in Tempe have been ones I've found on my own. In terms of how I prioritize restaurants to review, it really depends on my schedule. Often, I'll focus on ones that align with weekday lunches or weekend family meals. Unfortunately, that means there are still a few glaring omissions on the blog — restaurants that have been around for years with locations right by rail that I just haven't gotten around to yet. DPJ: You disembark at the Roosevelt/Central station. It’s lunchtime, and you’re hungry. Where might you end up eating, and what might you order? Bickford: Roosevelt is one of the most restaurant-rich stations in Phoenix, so the choice would not be easy. I could head east to Bliss, which has a very nice vegetable sandwich with breaded eggplant. Or, a few blocks south, you’ll find the Phoenix Public Market, with its own deli inside and the Mobile Food Court on Fridays. I love the grilled cheese from the Paradise Melts truck. The newest choice: Pita Jungle in the Gold Spot building. My favorite item on that menu is the lentil fetoosh salad.]]> 11737 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/02/11/suns-spot-clone-wars-invade-planet-orange/ Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:46:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11755 Previous week's games 02/04/2011 Thunder 111, SUNS 107 02/07/2011 SUNS 104, Warriors 92 02/10/2011 SUNS 112, Warriors 88 Upcoming week's games 02/11/2011 SUNS @ Jazz, 8:30 p.m., ESPN 02/13/2011 SUNS vs Kings, 6 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 02/15/2011 SUNS vs Jazz, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 02/17/2011 SUNS vs Mavericks, 8:30 p.m., TNT

[caption id="attachment_11765" align="aligncenter" width="518" caption="Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE "][/caption] This Sunday, Planet Orange will look a little bit different when the Phoenix Suns host to the Sacramento Kings. For the second year in a row, the characters and creations from the mind of George Lucas invade the Purple Palace for "Star Wars: The Clone Wars Night." Being someone that has never really gotten into the phenomenon that is Star Wars (admittedly, I've only seen episodes I & IV), I still must say this is an event definitely worth checking out. The Suns go all out as they team up with Lucas Arts to entertain the inner geek in us all. In addition to seeing one of the greatest point guards to ever play continue to lead the Suns in their push for the playoffs, fans will be subject to in-game Star Wars-related entertainment. Throughout US Airways Center, fans in attendance will have the opportunity to snag a picture with their favorite Star Wars characters. Unless you’re 12 years of age or under, please leave the masks at home, though. If you’re over 12 and want to wear a mask, you’re going to need to plan a trip to Oakland to take in a Raiders game. Suns dancers will also be participating as they dress in Princess Leia costumes — every nerd’s fantasy come true. This is sure to be the highlight of the night, but I think Jabba the Hutt should be in attendance to really make it shine. Perhaps former Suns center Oliver Miller will be free this Sunday? If you're attending the game you're encouraged to dress up as your favorite Star Wars character. Those that dress up will have the chance to win a R2-D2 Droid phone from Verizon. If you don't want to win the phone but still prefer to dress up, I suggest going as Captain James T. Kirk. (snicker, snicker) Video game fans, have no fear, you will not be left out! You’ll have the chance to try out the new Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars game in the Gorilla’s Greenhouse. If you haven’t played another of the Lego Star Wars games, I highly recommend checking this out. These games are awesome and hilarious.

If You Go: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Night.

Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings Sunday, February 13 at 6 p.m. Special tickets for this event start at just $29.75 and will get you a free Star Wars/Suns shirt.

The abundance of shops, boutiques and eateries has not only brought life to the once overlooked street, but also revitalized the businesses that have waited patiently for their time to shine. Boom Boom LaRue, Universal Furnishings and Offerings, Two Hippies Beach House, Barrio Café and Ranch Market have all made their mark on the stretch spanning from Midtown to Garfield, whether intentional or not. Boom Boom LaRue could easily go unnoticed from the thousands of commuters who make their way down the street daily, but it is a staple to a very present and colorful community planting its roots in the Valley. From designer wigs, to size 14 high heels, to custom jewelry, this store truly has something for everyone. [caption id="attachment_11851" align="alignright" width="320" caption="A selection of finds at Boom Boom LaRue"][/caption] “Our clientele is literally across the board," co-owner Joseph Paul explains. "We cater to everything from weddings, proms and drag queen pageants." Boom Boom LaRue has been in business for more than eight years, but moved to 16th just three years ago. “The move to 16th Street was not intentional," Paul continues. "A friend actually persuaded us to move down here. And, last year we expanded our store and now have a section for men — all this in a recession." Boom Boom and 16th Street couldn’t be a better pair. Paul credits the traffic partially to the fact that 16th is the first major street commuters hit when exiting SR-51 heading west into Central Phoenix. The same curious shopper perusing the goods at Boom Boom LaRue can’t help but find him or herself wandering next door into a wonderland of refurbished and recycled goods. Universal Furnishings and Offerings (UFO) has called 16th Street its home for nearly two years. Leonardo Ramirez, owner of UFO, said he had no idea what he was getting himself into. “I was only going to rent an office space in the building for my graphic design business,” Ramirez recalls. It was purely the right timing and perfect opportunity. Filling the space was easy, according to Ramirez, who had numerous storage units filled with collectibles ready to be sold. Aware this might not be the ideal time to open a new business, Ramirez understood resale is doing well, particularly in a recessionary economy. [caption id="attachment_11854" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Reclaimed is the name of the game at Universal Furnishings and Offerings."][/caption] While Ramirez admits he is struggling, he has faith that people will see the use in the reused, recycled and refurbished goods he has to offer. “I invite people to see things differently,” Ramirez says. Besides giving new life to old things, UFO offers sewing classes and wall space to local artists. And, while 16th Street became somewhat of an accidental home for UFO, Ramirez couldn’t be happier. “There is a cultural variation on 16th Street that’s trying to deal with itself,” Ramirez says of the cluster of eclectic businesses (and mindsets). When thinking of the “cultural variation” now overcoming 16th Street, one cannot pass by Two Hippies Beach House without taking a second look. Opening its doors only seven months ago, Two Hippies already has neighborhood regulars who walk their dogs down the surprisingly quiet residential streets that branch off 16th Street and plant themselves on the porch of the Beach House. They know the owner Robert Miller by name, and come prepared to partake in the tasty and incredibly affordable street food. Miller says it was no accident that he landed on 16th Street. [caption id="attachment_11852" align="alignright" width="225" caption="A glimpse at the selection at Two Hippies Beach House"][/caption] “I lived in this area before and when the place came available, I thought it was a perfect match,” Miller says. Although the Beach House has not been open long, Miller says business is good. “People will come if you bring them something special and a little quirky,” Miller explains. There’s no shortage of quirky at the beach house. The inside could easily resemble the set of a Cheech and Chong movie, but there’s also a certain comfort and old neighborhood feel that welcomes all. The food is cheap and good, and Miller has somehow captured a true beach house feel in Central Phoenix, minus the sand and oceanfront, of course. The Beach House even hosts live music every second Saturday. But Two Hippies aren’t the only ones with live music. Just a block south, Barrio Café features live entertainment on the weekends. During the day, it might be easy to zoom past Barrio Café without realizing its presence, but nearly impossible to pass by at night. The custom ironwork, illuminated bar and line of patrons wrapped around the corner sparks the curiosity of countless drivers. But it’s not just the ambiance that keeps the customers coming back. The restaurant planted its roots on 16th Street in 2002 and has no intentions of letting go. Partners Wendy Gruber and chef Silvana Salcido Esparza provide authentic southern Mexico cuisine and original creations in a modest locale that has food junkies from all over the Valley flocking to this unconventional location. [caption id="attachment_11850" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Barrio Café comes to life nightly as one of 16th Street's consistently bustling businesses."][/caption] The laid-back café has only one golden rule: no reservations. Despite having only 17 small tables, patrons don’t mind waiting hours for a chance to indulge in the unique cuisine. In fact, they usually pass the time while sipping on decadent margaritas. Richard Vick has worked at Barrio Café for just under six years. “We’re always busy, every day of the week," he says. "There really is no down time here, business is great on 16th Street." The bar, crafted out of an unfinished antique door with keyhole intact, is understandably tiny and only seats two. Outside, there is plenty of seating, allowing those who are waiting for their tables to watch the traffic go by and take in the urban vibe of the street. [caption id="attachment_11853" align="alignright" width="400" caption="Ranch Market is one of 16th Street's longstanding landmarks."][/caption] As 16th forms the eastern edge of the Garfield neighborhood near Roosevelt Street, you cannot miss the mega grocery store that is Ranch Market. The Hispanic supermarket is one of only nine in a chain that spans just three Southwest states. Walk inside Ranch Market and you are sure to be overwhelmed. La Cocina, the kitchen, is the first of many departments you will encounter within the market. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh baked goods, hot tortillas or homemade authentic Hispanic refreshments, La Cocina offers it all. But that’s just beyond the front doors. There’s an entire grocery store still left to explore. Despite all the success Ranch Market is experiencing, there are still so many in the Valley who have yet to venture inside. It’s truly a world of its own, with foods, colors and smells inspired by Latin America. 16th Street has been overlooked for sometime, often serving as a quicker north-south route than 24th or 7th streets. But that is all changing, with artists, visionaries and chefs calling the humble street home. People are listening and making 16th Street a deserving Central Phoenix destination. Boom Boom LaRue is located just north of Osborn Road at 3606 N. 16th St. Universal Furnishings and Offerings is a door south at 3602 N. 16th St. Two Hippies Beach House is just south of Earll Drive at 3102 N. 16th St. Barrio Café is a block south of Thomas Road at 2814 N. 16th St. Ranch Market is at the northeast corner of 16th and Roosevelt streets at 1602 E.

Scottsdale, AZ Five-star rating 11.06.10 I am a total sucker for quaint bungalow-style homes. (I used to own one, a Sears Bungalow, 1920.) So, this adorable bar/lounge had me as soon as I walked onto the wraparound porch and into the front door. I could smell the character. This is a wonderful venue for a date, or, in my case, for a small group of friends to gather. It has ambiance and then some! You know that friend of yours who has the great cocktail parties? That is what it feels like here when the bartender asks for your order. No positioning to get to him, no yelling your order to him. He's right there... all for you. Wow. I am getting nostalgic here, so let me close with these couple of important details: 1) The wine selection was small but the wines were good, and 2) the cheese/cracker/olive food pairings were quite good. I left feeling that I had just had a wonderful experience. Interestingly, there is a bar/lounge in Raleigh, NC, that I still remember fondly, years later, because it gave me that same feeling.

Tempe, AZ Four-star rating 01.07.11 For just $2, it is not a bad place to check out. Row after row of glass cases full of amazing minerals, rocks and metals. There are some other displays where rocks have been laid out to look like food on plates. There was a special side exhibit that had nothing to do with rocks — it was part of a collection of recent Arizona history. It looked more like a gift shop from Old Town with all of the random Southwest trinkets. I really enjoyed the two UV rock cases. It is a bit hidden, so make sure you look for it. Upstairs are dioramas of mining towns and how mining operations work. I wanted to play with the trucks as if I were a child again. There are even free rocks you can take with you at one section. The gift shop has a good amount of interesting items, too. Outside is old mining equipment great for photo ops. Good for about an hour of fun!

623 E. Adams St. in Heritage Square (light rail at 3rd Street and Washington/Jefferson stations)

If you Google “623 E. Adams St.” in Phoenix, you won’t find much information about the F.S. Baird Machine Shop. You will, however, find 54,000+ results for Pizzeria Bianco, the 42-seat legendary pizza spot that has occupied the building since 1996. What most locals and tourists fail to realize is that the Baird Machine Shop holds incredible history. Built c.1929 by an unknown builder, the Baird Machine Shop sits on its original plot in what is now Heritage Square. Though some neighboring buildings around the square were built in other parts of Phoenix and later transplanted, the most industrial of them has been there for 82 years. The most commercial looking of all of Heritage Square’s buildings, the Baird Machine Shop’s 20th century commercial-style brick sheathing and heavy concrete foundation lent itself to its edgy beginnings as — you guessed it — a machine shop. It was later used as a sign shop before becoming the cozy restaurant space that it is today. Architecturally, the roof is of note. The stepped parapets above the Pizzeria Bianco sign hide the pitched-truss roof line overhead. Just below, segmented windows form a frame around the centralized entryway. As evidenced by the building’s size, it has always been just a single storefront, but the two window bays around either side of the front door were always there. These most likely were used to display machinery (and later, signage) to passersby. The Baird Machine Shop remains as one of Phoenix’s original examples of neighborhood commercial architecture — a rare sight these days. The F.S. Baird Machine Shop was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1985.

Solo female folk guitarist, perhaps? Wrong, but don’t worry, you’re not the only one that thought that. Lisa Savidge is actually a group of dudes creating a late-’90s-rock-meets-Explosions in the Sky sound. (Yep, sounds pretty epic already.) The band has just finished working on its latest full-length album and is rather excited with the way it turned out. DPJ talked with lead singer Dan Somers about the new record, touring, psychedelic lights and the people in life that go unnoticed but make a world of difference. Somers, Ellery Keller, Nick Gortari, James Krehbiel and Patrick LaMaide formed about three years ago to complete Lisa Savidge but it wasn’t always a five piece. “Basically, Ellery and I had started a band,” Somers recalls. “I don’t know, back in ’95 or ’96, back in high school. It was bad. It was awful.” The band’s history includes all sorts of wackiness: Somers going to the army, band members leaving and Somers meeting his brother, Patrick, for the first time. Their bass player left because of creative differences, which left the band incomplete. “We needed a new bass player and [LaMaide] said that he could learn the bass,” Somers says. Once the band was complete, the only thing they had to tackle was their sound. In the past, the band had fallen into the punk and grunge genres, but after jamming around they found their sound. Every member in the band listens to something different, from metal, to Pink Floyd, to indie, to shoegaze, which created their unique sound. “We started working on this record once we found out what we wanted,” Somers says. The 12-song record took about three years to create with the help of a dear friend, Jalipaz of Audio Confusion, a Mesa recording studio. “A lot of the writing got done over email,” Somers explains. Keller would perhaps write two minutes of the song then send it to Somers, who would write two more minutes and send it to the band members and they’d write the last two minutes. Somers says the context of the entire album is much more powerful than each song individually, which led to the idea of playing the entire album for their release show. Expect to watch an hour full of pure raw, loud, hypnotic jamming with a nice surprise for your eyes. A hint? “We’re going to be making use of projectors and a huge screen,” Somers reveals. “We plan to take full advantage of that.” Lisa Savidge plays tonight at The Rhythm Room with locals Dry River Yacht Club and The Necronauts. And, just a bit more news from the Savidges: The band is playing South by Southwest in Austin. It seems like this is just the beginning for a great local band on the road to success. The show starts at 8 p.m. and is $10. Admission price includes their CD. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E. Indian School Rd. in Midtown.

The play, a fictional account written by award-winning author Jeffrey Hatcher and directed by David Ira Goldstein, is set at the estate in the late 1930s after Lunt and Fontanne decide to perform Anton Chekhov’s The Sea Gull. Before heading to New York for rehearsal and production, they retreat to their summer home to research the play, where they are surrounded by other actors, their family and their followers.

[caption id="attachment_11914" align="aligncenter" width="626" caption="Photo by Tim Fuller/Arizona Theatre Company"][/caption] According to the play guide, the performance demonstrates “what every Broadway star already knows — that the real drama on stage happens when the curtain is down.” Because the play is centered around Ten Chimneys, which is literally named after the number of chimneys it has, the entire ATC cast and creative team rehearsed in the actual Wisconsin estate, says ATC spokesperson Jami Kozemczak. Scenic designer John Ezell says he had visited the 1915 estate (which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 1998) several times. “What we hope to achieve (with the set) is a degree of elegance in the exterior that would be consistent with the lifestyle of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, because they were very stylish people,” he says. “The aura of glamor which surrounded them also followed them everywhere they went, and it certainly permeates the atmosphere at Ten Chimneys.” Goldstein told ATC Literary Manager Jenny Bazzell that what is so striking about Ten Chimneys as a place is that, unlike Europeans, Americans don’t have many theatrical landmarks. “Ten Chimneys as a national historic landmark is one of the only true American places to celebrate the art of theater,” he says. Because there are still clothes in the closets and books on the shelves, Goldstein says it feels as if they are still living there. “You feel the living presence of these extraordinary performers who, in the 1920s and 1930s, were considered the great American actors of their time,” he says. Kozemczak says that ATC is proud to be presenting the world premiere of Ten Chimneys “because there are not many organizations able to take any chances on new plays.” Tickets for Ten Chimneys range from $30 to $64 and can be purchased here.

Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images."][/caption] Entering this weekend’s All-Star break the Phoenix Suns have a record of 27-27. A few weeks back, the goal was to reach .500 and Phoenix got there. However, they did blow a few games they should have won in doing so. Looking beyond the All-Star break, there are a few things I’d like to see happen over the course of the last 28 games of this season.

Vince Carter needs to be moved

Vince Carter was the worst part of an otherwise good trade with Orlando in December. The additions of Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus were great, plus Phoenix shed Hedo Turkoglu’s bad contract while gaining a first-round draft pick. However, the Suns had to give up Jason Richardson for Carter. I was willing to give Carter a chance, but he has failed to provide anything positive to the team. He’s basically had two good games, one that the Suns lost when he went ice cold in the fourth quarter. I appreciate that VC appears to be trying, but it’s just not working out. If his name weren’t Vince Carter, I don’t think he’d even be in the rotation currently. I’d prefer to see his minutes go to Pietrus or Jared Dudley, two guys that can contribute even when their shot isn’t falling. The problem with moving Carter is that it’s unlikely anyone wants him and his bulky contract. It would have to be a team desperate to save money (there is a team option on Carter's contract next season) and the Suns would more than likely be forced to take a bad contract back. At this point though, I’d move Carter for anything just to get him out of the rotation.

Consistent production from Lopez

Robin Lopez has been forced to play better with the emergence of Gortat, and he has, but not nearly as well as Gortat. Lopez has had his moments, including 13 points and 13 rebounds last night, but he just needs to be more consistent. Lopez has the talent. You can see it. In fact, I believe he has more potential and a higher ceiling than Gortat, he just needs to learn the game better and get the confidence to go out there every night and be a beast. He seems to start well, especially offensively, so he just needs to keep it going. If Lopez can continue to improve and be a regular force, the Suns’ playoff chances and future in general will be a whole lot brighter.

Phoenix in the playoffs

Lastly, I’d like to see the Suns in the playoffs. It’s going to be tight finish to the end between six Western Conference teams fighting for the last four playoff spots, and the Suns certainly have a shot to snag one of those spots. Sure, the Suns may not be able to make a deep run, but the playoff atmosphere is always exciting and I’d like to have that again this year. Even if the Suns can only manage to get the eighth spot, it would mean another playoff matchup with the Spurs, and those are always fun. The Suns control their destiny against the Hornets and Jazz. The Nuggets will most likely drop out of the playoff hunt once they move Carmelo Anthony. The Blazers and Grizzlies will be tough to catch because they both own the tiebreaker over Phoenix, but the Suns only need to catch two teams. If the first two things on this list come true, the third is likely to follow.]]> 11936 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/02/28/st-patricks-day-downtown/ Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:45:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11951

After releasing their third full-length album, Suburbs, which just won Album of the Year at the Grammys, they have become the band to download, listen to and fall in love with. Following a week of Grammy-fueled momentum, Arcade Fire announced on Saturday that they are going to tour, and yes, they're coming through Downtown Phoenix. Three days before they headline at Coachella, they’ll be playing at Comerica Theatre on Wednesday, April 13 with indie favorites Local Natives. Presale tickets sold briskly earlier this week, and tickets officially go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. No doubt, this show will sell out. This is the first time in 10 years that Arcade Fire has graced Phoenix with their presence. When they were here in 2001, the Montréal-based band had yet to even release a full-length album in the U.S. They played an abbreviated seven-song set at Modified Arts to a mostly unaware crowd. If you have not heard of Arcade Fire, go out and buy Suburbs. You will not regret it. From “Ready to Start,” which has you screaming “Businessmen drink my blood” at the top of your lungs, to the singalong “Rococo,” to their angry punkish single, “Month of May,” this album does no wrong. Every song keeps your ears awaiting the next. Lead singer Win Butler and wife Regine Chassagne founded the seven-member band, which includes almost every instrument under the rainbow: guitar, drums, bass, piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, keyboard, French horn, accordion, harp, mandolin, glockenspiel and a hurdy-gurdy. (That last one is still a mystery to us, too.) Arcade Fire’s debut album, Funeral, came out in 2004 with a raw sadness throughout, laced with words of suicide, death and love. The album instantly catapulted the band up the indie ranks. Their second album, 2007's Neon Bible, was darker, not lyrically, but musically. It starts off with “Black Mirror,” full of angst and anger, with Butler’s haunting voice echoing the title. It leads you on a dark dream of emotion from there. With an album coming out every three years, we can only imagine what 2013 will bring from Arcade Fire. It looks like the band will hole up in its Québec church-turned-studio compound later this year to work on album four. Refresh your browser around 10 a.m. tomorrow for the best tickets before they sell out. Tickets range from $48.20 to $53.50. The Comerica Theatre is located at 400 W.

609 E. Adams St. in Heritage Square (light rail at 3rd Street and Washington/Jefferson stations)

Historic Heritage Square offers visitors a glimpse into the original Phoenix town site. Eight of the residences (now all used for commercial purposes) stand in their original locations, but one building has only been there for 25 years. It's the Thomas House, a striking c.1909 Neo-Colonial Revival just west of the F.S. Baird Machine Shop, that is the new kid on the block. The home arrived in Heritage Square in 1986 in fair condition. Architecturally, it was certainly worth sparing — with hints of Western Colonial style, it encompasses the flair of Neo-Colonial style with an airier feel, perfect for gatherings. The original brick façade stands over a new poured concrete foundation. Other original traits include the hipped roof with exposed rafters and asphalt shingles. The double-hung wood windows kept the original screens following the move to the square. The home was built as a residence for F.B. Thomas, a Toledo, OH, man who moved to Phoenix in 1895. The central entry with a recessed veranda porch are common characteristics of the architectural style. The porch features a tongue-and-groove ceiling that remains in fine shape. Thomas served many positions during his life in Phoenix as a civil servant: he was appointed county recorder in 1904, then city recorder and police judge in 1905. He later became the city clerk in 1914. Today, the building houses Bar Bianco, where hungry (and thirsty) patrons snack on artisan cheeses and sip wine while they wait for their tables to be available at next-door Pizzeria Bianco.

The word from both the local and national media was that the Suns liked the direction the team is heading and felt they've finally started building chemistry and didn't feel making a move was worth the risk. This seemed very much true right up until the closing minutes of the deadline. That's when The Arizona Republic's Paul Coro broke the news that the Suns were sending backup point guard Goran Dragic and a first-round pick in June's draft to the Houston Rockets for point guard Aaron Brooks. Needless to say, this was quite the surprise. It took me a while to fully digest the trade. Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a big Dragic fan. I like his potential and the talent he has shown. I think he will end up being very good in this league and he's one of the nicest people I have ever met. So, it's certainly sad to see him go. But receiving Brooks in return could end up being very good. Last season Brooks had a breakout season, winning the Most Improved Player award. This season has seen Brooks take a big step back, but an early season injury could be the cause of that. Brooks hurt his ankle in the fifth game of the season and by the time he recovered he had lost his starting spot. He has yet to regain his form. A change in scenery may be just what Brooks needs. Based on his performances playing against the Suns, Brooks should excel in the uptempo offense the Suns run. Overall, I like the trade. It gives the Suns an added spark off the bench that is sure to come in handy as the playoff race tightens up. This year, the bench has often given up leads, so something needed to be done. This move has the potential to fix that problem. The Suns were worried about toying with the chemistry that they had recently started to build. This trade should have little impact on that. At worst, this would be a lateral move and the Suns would basically be in the same spot they've been in. At best, it could pay huge dividends, as Brooks has shown he can be an explosive scorer. Dragic will be very much missed, as he was a crowd favorite, and it’s always hard to part ways with someone you’ve become such a fan of, but we’ll always have game three of the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs.]]> 11990 0 0 0 5258 0 0 5259 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 5258 169 5261 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 5273 http://thehudsucker.tumblr.com 5261 169 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/01/dpj-yelper-week-brent-lucky-strike-lanes/ Tue, 01 Mar 2011 07:01:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=11833 DPJ is proud to bring you the best Yelp reviews of your favorite Downtown restaurants, boutiques, venues and everything in between.

Phoenix, AZ Four-star rating 12.21.10 It's loud, it's crazy, it's SO FUN!!! I enjoy bowling, but this is so much more. We had some wine and a couple appetizers while I destroyed my wife in bowling (snicker). It's a bit tough to get in, so be sure to call first and make a reservation, if you can. Mostly good for the family. I mean, there's drinking, and semi-tightly dressed waitresses and such, but it's really not too bad, IMHO. Our waitress was new in town and we had all these great conversations about the area. She made some perfect food suggestions and was super awesome in every way. A great place to go, I promise! If you can bring enough people with you to book both lanes in your little booth area, I would suggest that. We shared our booth with this other group we didn't know and they were nice and all but kept making out with each other (there were three couples) right in front of our table. Of course, our table faced their lane. A little off-putting, but not enough to not come back. Next time though, we will book in advance and make sure to bring non-make-out-in-front-of-you-type friends. Lucky Strike Lanes is located at 50 W.

I've only heard about this place through the reviews on Yelp, and from those alone I KNEW I had to go here! So, the hubs and I set out on Saturday night at about 6:30ish. We arrived and it was already pretty busy. All the tables were seated and there were people in the lounge area. However, the bar was open, and we could be seated immediately, so we snagged a couple stools. We were hungry and wanted to try a couple things. For starters, we got the cheese curds and the fries and gravy. The curds were OK, I would have liked a crunchier batter on them, but they were seasoned very well. The fries and gravy were the showstopper of the appetizers! Herbed parsnips and potatoes, Gruyere cheese and THE MOST heavenly mushroom gravy. Seriously soooooo good! Next up were the shrimp po'boys. They are served on freakin' popovers!!!! These little gems were mouth watering! And I really don't eat a whole lot of shrimp, but damn! Last was the main event. Citrus-brined fried chicken and white cheddar cheese waffles! GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant stop thinking about that meal! We had a couple glasses of wine and some of that housemade ginger ale — phenominal! The bartender/waitress was soooo friendly, loved her! The atmosphere was pretty chill. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, they bring a little ball of cookie dough out as a bite of dessert, FOR FREE! Just the right amount after the feast we had! We will for sure be going back, hopefully the bar will be open, because they were quoting people 45-minute waits all night long and I am sooo not down for that kind of wait.

736 W. Woodland Ave. in Woodland Historic District

There are plenty of nondescript, ancient buildings lining the sidewalks of West Van Buren Street, but it comes as no surprise that history indeed lies within many of these walls. One such building, the former VFW Armory, appears to have lost everything, including its dignity — there is no sign and little evidence of an address on the building today. This part of Woodland Avenue, a neighborhood street directly lining Van Buren, has become a dead end, trailing off toward 7th Avenue. Though the building does not suffer from lack of visibility — it sits at the busy confluence of Van Buren and Grand and 7th avenues — it's safe to say nary a wandering-eyed driver ever takes a second glance. This was once Maricopa Post 720, a packed, tiny hub of activity for the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. The building's history dates back to 1928, built in the Second Renaissance Revival style to accommodate storage and frequent meetings. Evidence of alteration is visible — windows have been exchanged (now boarded and barred over), the roof has had its repairs — but it is in fair condition at best. As an institutional building, one would expect some wear and tear. The concrete foundation is creeping through dirt valleys surrounding the building, atop it a cracking stucco exterior with concrete ornamentation. Most notable is the stepped, double-pitched roof, complete with parapet eaves, pedimented gloriously at its ends. Though few traces of its past remain, it is a good representation of early local use of concrete masonry units.

In a few short weeks it will be time for Artlink's Art Detour 23.  We've been working hard and you’ll begin to see the marketing for Art Detour starting with the banner ad on the corner of Central Avenue and McDowell Road. You’ll also start seeing marketing collateral around town, ads going in Java Magazine, Echo Magazine and of course, the New Times. We’re trying some new ideas for promotion and marketing this year and it would be great if everyone would consider joining us. We're also working hard on new funding resources and forging strong partnerships with Downtown Phoenix Journal, the Downtown Phoenix Partnership and the Phoenix Community Alliance. We're working on ways that keep you more involved and at the same time, bring more awareness to participating spaces. In this regard, we are extending Art Detour's signup to help make that happen. Please consider signing up by First Friday. [download id="7"] I'd be happy to meet people again at the Phoenix Public Market during lunch, or feel free to drop it off at either Just Breathe (828 N. 2nd St.) or After Hours Gallery (116 W.

We're having Artlink Art Detour meetings weekly now, for neighborhood representatives, participating galleries and key volunteers. I'll be emailing with details for spaces that are participating.

First Friday! Of course, some of you may be getting paid, too, but that’s not as important as the show you may miss. Downtown-based River Jones Music Label is putting on a FREE show at Revolver Records during First Friday with Courtney Marie Andrews, Steff Koeppen and the Articles and Underground Cities. Three Arizona artists playing in the intimate setting of a great record shop — sounds like a perfect way to end the week. Steff Koeppen and the Articles is a young five-piece Tucson band with a soft, fresh indie feeling. Koeppen, the lead singer and pianist, fuels the band with her powerful vocals and dancing fingers across the keys. Ruth Hall and Alex Tuggle both play violin, Chris Pierce supplies the bass and Tom Beech is on drums. After going solo for a while, Koeppen decided to add a band to her talents in 2009. A year later, they released their first album under River Jones Music Label. Their classical, indie feel fits the River Jones boat, but does not disappoint.

Music Video: "Different Kind" by Steff Koeppen and The Articles from Caleb Jackson & Aaron Grimes on Vimeo.

The other band on the bill is like no other Arizona band. Chandler-based five-piece Underground Cities has played all-instrumental post-rock since its inception in 2009. They released their album, The Dalliance Album, in January 2010. Their sound is much like Sigur Rós or Explosions in the Sky. Forget what you think about instrumental music: They don’t fall into the background; you’ll stop what you’re doing and just zone into the music. And of course, there’s Andrews. Fresh off the road from a worldwide jaunt with Jimmy Eat World, and with a new album, For One I Knew, recently released, her set list will be filled with new songs. Andrews’ boomin’ Joni Mitchell-esque voice will surely light up the tight confines of the shop. Come early, because you’re going to want to see all three! Show starts at 7:30. Revolver Records is located at 918 N. 2nd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station) [iframe_loader src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Revolver+Records,+Phoenix,+AZ&aq=t&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.489543,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=Revolver+Records,&hnear=Phoenix,+Maricopa,+Arizona&cid=3381678322576860361&ll=33.458621,-112.072177&spn=0.012531,0.018239&z=15&output=embed" height="240"]]]> 12045 0 0 0 5280 http://riverjonesmusic.org 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/03/26-blocks-ipad-phoenix-community-alliance/ Thu, 03 Mar 2011 21:10:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12061 26 Blocks art project is now a free iPad application, courtesy of the Phoenix Community Alliance. The iPad app offers a new-media presentation of the successful art exhibit, launched on May 7, 2010, combining the work of 26 Phoenix photographers, 26 Phoenix writers, and 26 sculptures of one Phoenix artist. The collaborative effort of these 53 artists showcases their interpretations of 26 separate, downtown Phoenix city blocks. The 26 Blocks iPad app includes intuitive navigation, artistic attention to detail, and multi-media richness. 52 HD photographs are zoomable up to 400 percent without loss of quality, as are the writers’ contributions and the 26 sculptures by Phoenix painter/sculptor, Rafael Navarro. The soundtrack features music by Phoenix-based electronica rock band, Mr. Meeble, and solo piano by the late Phoenix composer, performer, and teacher Charles Wells. Links within the app take users to content-specific information found on websites, while the soundtrack continues to play so you know you're still in 26 Blocks. Screenshots on the iTunes app store, here. "The intuitive, hi-tech nature of the iPad — which is better for reading and viewing images up close, more personal and experiential than a laptop or smart phone, and 1/3 of the production cost if we’d done a hard-cover coffee-table book — make it the perfect 26 Blocks companion for giving fans what they continually ask for: some way of taking the exhibit home with them. Thanks to Phoenix Community Alliance and our other sponsors, we’re excited about delivering the 84-piece writing, photography, and sculpture exhibit — and Phoenix itself — to a much wider audience," said Joey Robert Parks, the creator of 26 Blocks. “26 Blocks represents a wonderful community-based arts and culture initiative that is an illustrative example of the many assets that exist within the area,” said Don Keuth, president and CEO of Phoenix Community Alliance. Financial and in-kind support to develop the 26 Blocks iPad app was provided by After Hours Creative, APS, Artisan Colour, CityScape, Discovery Triangle, Downtown Phoenix Partnership, HDR Architecture, L.D. Schneider & Associates, and Phoenix Community Alliance. The free 26 Blocks iPad app, requiring iOS 3.2 or later, is now available on the iTunes App Store.

Photo by Ron Hoskins/NBAE via Getty Images."][/caption] Last week, I had originally planned to write about Channing Frye. The Phoenix Suns' last-minute trade of Goran Dragic and a draft pick to the Houston Rockets for point guard Aaron Brooks pushed my piece on Frye back a week. It appears to have worked out in my favor. In the past week, Frye has hit two game-winning shots — both in overtime and on back-to-back nights. As far as I know, those are the first two game-winning shots of Frye's career. Those shots were both huge. Not only because those were games the Suns had to win, but those are also the type of shots that can boost the confidence of Frye and the team as a whole. That's not what I want to talk about, though. Let's talk about the overwhelming amount of hatred Frye seems to get from the majority of Suns fans. The Chandler native only seems to trail Robin Lopez and Vince Carter in fan disdain, and I can't figure out why. I get that people think he's overpaid. And maybe he is. You can make an argument for both sides. Bottom line though, there are certainly a lot of guys in the Association making equal to or more than Frye that provide less production for their teams. Not only are some of these guys less talented, but they also don't even bring the effort. I'm not much of a numbers guy, so I won't bore you with statistics, but rather simply explain what I see watching Frye play. The first thing that stands out to me is Frye's effort. The former Wildcat plays with a passion and gives his all on the floor. How many times have we seen a player have one great season, sign his big contract and just phone it in after that? It would've been very easy for Frye to do this, especially given his early season struggles. He didn't. He's continue to work harder and is having arguably his best season ever. Frye's importance to the Phoenix's offensive style is oftentimes overlooked. In my opinion, he's the second most important player behind Steve Nash when it comes to making this offense work. It doesn't even matter if he's hitting his shots. The threat of Frye getting hot spreads the floor and allows Nash room to operate. Frye could be 0-20 and the opposition still wouldn't leave him wide open because that would be downright foolish. His 6.5 rebounds a game may not look impressive given his size, but when you factor in that more often than not he's out around the perimeter, that total looks a lot better. His defense isn't half-bad, either. His team defense is solid, and he holds his own in the post. Plus, he's good for at least one block a game. My theory is Frye came on so strong as a three-point shooter a year ago, that people expect him to hit threes and that's it. Fans fail to notice the other things he does. His defense, rebounding and inside game have all gotten better and he is still young enough to continue to improve. Eventually, others will take notice. Frye is one of those guys that should be easy to cheer for. He's a hometown guy, he never complains, he puts the goals of the team first and he gives 110% every game. He's what's right about the NBA. He makes me proud to be a Phoenix Suns fan and prouder to be a native of Arizona.

10-30 N. 3rd Ave. (light rail at Central/Washington westbound or 1st Ave/Jefferson eastbound)

Sticklers is a popular lunchtime joint for both city and county employees, yet the building's Neo-Classical architecture, seemingly not fit for sandwiches and salads, always commands a glance. It has been on the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue and Washington Street since 1920, housing various businesses through multiple alterations. When it was built, it was known simply as the J.M. Walker Building. Noted architect Lee Fitzhugh was called onto the project, and he created what is still today Phoenix's best Neo-Classical example. Though it stands at just two stories, original plans called for a six-story building. Despite being scaled back before construction began, original tenant J.C. Penney still occupied the space until 1926. A fairly extensive remodel in '26 paved the way for Central Arizona Light and Power to take over the building. Following a 1950s merger, this company became Arizona Public Services Company, simply known as APS today. Even now, the building's original charming qualities are still evident. Stately Corinthian pilasters greet the traffic of Washington Street, framed by intricate cornice brackets with carefully carved dentils — details so precise in Neo-Colonial-style buildings. The heavy eaves seem to reach out toward the street corner, as if greeting visitors. Time and time again, the building has seen alterations to suit its tenants, but the fact remains that the J.M.

Need something to do on Friday night and you’re not a huge Madri Gras fan or out celebrating 311 day? Well, let us offer you a unique solution: Downtown Chamber Series (DCS) is making the rounds and stopping at Modified Arts for a night. Although Roosevelt Row’s beloved brick bungalow has stopped hosting nightly touring acts, the gallery couldn’t help but make an exception for DCS. DCS is a large group of talented, local musicians that have come from all over the world. Many of them play in the Phoenix Symphony. The series takes place all over Downtown, from The Icehouse to the Phoenix Art Museum, playing beautiful music while showcasing the talents of local artists’ paintings and drawings. On Friday, the group will play the music of Nico Muhly, who has composed music for indie greats such as Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Jónsi of Sigor Rós and Björk. The all-string performance of violins, violas and cello will provide you with a performance rarely seen in on Roosevelt. So, while you explore the art exhibit, "What Goes On and What Takes Place," featuring local artists Sue Chenoweth, Carolyn Lavender and others, your ears will be treated to some nice art-gazing music. And, for $10, this is an absolute steal. Art: √, music: √, and a great way to end the week: √. The show starts at 8 p.m. Modified Arts is located at 407 E.

Capitalizing on neglected cooking spaces in prime but otherwise forgotten locations, momentary pop-up restaurants are speedily becoming a national food trend too irresistible to ignore. These shadow restaurants have emerged as a new culinary platform, allowing talented, restless chefs to take strikingly creative professional risks without the bondage of long-term budgets and tenured appeal. From New York City to Los Angeles, clever, food-ly forces coast to coast have begun exploiting this guerrilla dining craze. Speculation of the phenomenon’s eventual emergence here in the Phoenix area has wandered for years now. But, who would be behind it? Where would it be located? And, what would the menu be like? It looks like after this weekend, we won’t have to wait any longer.]]> 12124 0 0 0 5319 0 0 5313 0 0 5315 http://www.foodtrampdiaries.com/2011/03/devoured-culinary-classic-3/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/11/suns-spot-filling-frye-void/ Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:04:32 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12131 Previous week's games 03/04/2011 SUNS 102, Bucks 88 03/06/2011 Thunder 122, SUNS 118 03/08/2011 SUNS 113, Rockets 110 03/10/2010 Nuggets 116, SUNS 97 Upcoming week's games 03/13/2011 SUNS vs Magic, 12:30 p.m., ABC 03/14/2011 SUNS @ Rockets, 5:30 p.m., My45 03/16/2011 SUNS @ Hornets, 5 p.m., My45 A week ago, I wrote about the importance of Channing Frye to the offense the Phoenix Suns run. I talked about how the hate he receives is unjust and how his contract is turning out to be a bargain as he continues to improve. Frye continued to prove my point with good showings last Friday in Milwaukee and Sunday in Oklahoma, where he pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds. Unfortunately, Frye didn’t get to finish the game in Oklahoma. [caption id="attachment_12145" align="alignright" width="400" caption="The Suns will be without Channing Frye for up to three weeks. AP photo."][/caption] In arguably the worst officiated game of the season (factually the worse when looking at free throw disparity), Frye was injured on a play where he was hit across the arm by the Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. The obvious contact wasn’t enough to draw a foul, but it was enough to dislocate the shoulder of the sharpshooting big man. This injury puts the Suns in a tough spot. Currently, the Suns are playing their best basketball of the season. They’re in the midst of a tough fight for a playoff spot in the über-tight Western Conference, and Frye has been a huge part of that. His injury couldn’t have come at a worse time. The Suns will once again have to adjust on the fly as Channing sits on the sideline to heal up. Frye is expected to miss two to three weeks, which will put him out of about 10 games or so. Then, who knows how long it’ll be before he’s actually back in the flow of things once he gets back. Luckily for the Suns, they have a few options that could potentially fill the void left by Frye. Hakim Warrick and Mickeal Pietrus are likely going to see the biggest increase in minutes, with Josh Childress getting some spot minutes as a result of the injury. All three can be assets on the floor when at the top of their game. Warrick wasted no time taking advantage of the increased role. In his second start of the season, Warrick went off on the Houston Rockets with a career-high 32 points and pulled down eight boards. Hak certainly can’t spread the floor like Frye can, but his outside jumper has started to become more consistent and he can free up the floor for other guys by running the pick-and-roll with Steve Nash. Warrick doesn’t rebound as well as Frye, but when aggressive he can be decent. Since just before the All-Star break, Hakim seemed to pick up his intensity level, and it has really begun to show. Pietrus lacks Frye's size, but in the system Coach Gentry and the Suns run, he can certainly fill in at power forward from time to time. On the offensive end he can provide much of what Frye does, but also has a little more ability and putting the ball down and driving to the basket. On the flip side, Pietrus won’t provide much as far as interior defense, but he is one of the team’s better perimeter defenders. Childress is the wild card. While I don’t expect him to see a whole lot of minutes, if any, at the four spot, he could see some on the wing positions if either Grant Hill or Pietrus is asked to slide over at any point. I hope to see this happen. Childress is able to do a lot of the little things that can get overlooked and he has an ability to get the basket. He also gives the team another solid perimeter defender. If nothing else, I’d like to see Childress can a few more regular-season minutes, because you never know when a guy with his skill set could come in handy in the postseason. All in all, the Suns should be able to withstand Frye's injury, despite how well he had been playing. Warrick and Pietrus have both been playing at extremely high levels lately, along with the rest of the team, and I see no reason for that to change. If the guys keep it up, there’s no reason to think the Suns won’t sneak into the playoffs. Frye will return just in time to erase some of his demons from postseasons past.]]> 12131 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/14/sex-city-version-2/ Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:46:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12134 Arizona Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Sex and the Second City, Version 2.0, a production from the improv-based sketch comedy empire The Second City about finding love in the digital age. The show made its debut Thursday at the Herberger Theater Center, where it can be seen through March 20 before heading out on its national tour. [caption id="attachment_12152" align="aligncenter" width="526" caption="'Sex and the Second City 2.0' plays at the Herberger Theater through March 20. Photo by Michael Brosilow."][/caption] The 1.0 version of the show, which debuted in 2006, was a musical battle of the sexes about a couple facing problems, breaking up and making up. “At that point, Facebook wasn’t around,” Second City Vice President Kelly Leonard tells ATC. “That has become such a rich source of comedy for us with a whole different twist and allows us to do some interesting improvisational moments with the audience, which will be part of Version 2.0.” Director B.J. Jones tells ATC’s Literary Manager Jenny Bazzell that the script was created based on successful improvs from The Second City’s archives, but that it will also be mixed with new actors’ input and interaction with the audience. “These actors are thoroughbreds and when they get loose, who the heck knows what will develop,” he says. “We have a great script to start with; inspiration will take over and the piece will fly.” Jones adds that he is thrilled to be working with the legendary troupe, which has trained celebrities such as Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert. “The Second City is such an iconic institution, and one of the bedrocks of Chicago theater,” he says. “It’s a dream come true for me." Tickets range from $30 to $64. The Herberger Theater is located at 222 E.

During its two-day reign, our community’s food world descended upon the city’s heart. Absorbing every habitable inch of the museum’s striking sculpture garden, this year’s event seemed larger, more popular, and well: more cramped than ever. Jostling for helpings, crowds often had little recourse but to flee to the far corners of the courtyard to savor bites without (respectfully) interrupting elbows. [caption id="attachment_12204" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="The Devoured crowd at Phoenix Art Museum"][/caption] The weather was indeed beautiful in an "it’s March and the rest of the country is under a blanket of frost" type of perspective. However with the sun unrelenting, after circulating for even just a few minutes under its glare with little shady respite, it became clear our SPFs were in for a workout. Without any doubt, most patrons are now collectively tending to their early summertime sunburns. All in the name of good food, of course. Once again engendered from the minds of Local First Arizona, as a channel to broadcast what flavorful and independent offerings our city can muscle, Devoured 2011 was another steady showcase of what can be done without corporate bullies suffocating our festival fun. If an unintentional trend at last year’s festival was tartare a hundred different ways (varieties both beef and tuna), this year’s unexpected thread manifested in the form of the humble shrimp (from its eponymous cocktails, to ceviches, to plainly grilled), as well as the sturdy swine (marinated, braised, pulled, stuffed into casings, blended into patés; you name it). Though not as many singular, stratospheric bites as last year, however, there were fewer duds this time. The overall median of this year’s roster was markedly stronger than last year — many more participants brought their A-game, and it was felt. With well north of 50 participants in total, there were clearly countless possible highlights worth mentioning. As an exercise in brevity, every restaurant and every vendor did a commendable job worthy of praise. As anticipated, Sunday turned out to be the prevailing date of the two-day festival, with more noticeable, food-stirring moments. Saturday, however, was not far behind. Bridging both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, memorable scores were represented with St. Francis, and its rich, eye-catching cauliflower soup and a spritely passion fruit and coconut parfait, layered with the garnish of tart kiwi and toasted almonds. La Grande Orange and Chelsea’s Kitchen shared a presence, with perfectly on-point pepperoni pizza slices, shrimp ceviche (one of the best examples of many) and samplings of Chelsea's Kitchen’s popular Brussels sprouts salad, crisp with the added gusto of almonds, dried fruit and sheets of pecorino. Finally, Relish Burger Bistro, thrusting what it does best: serious burgers made with premium ingredients — this weekend serving hefty Kobe beef sliders, crafted a trio of respectable ways. Saturday-only players were easily overwhelmed by Barrio Café’s onslaught and personality (live music, artists painting, a lowrider bicycle fashioned into a backyard charcoal grill), with one of the best renditions of the versatile pig presented the entire weekend: its hallmark, mouth-dissolving cochinita pibil was worth any sneaks for seconds. Rounding off that main event, Barrio Café buffered its domination with a tangy shrimp ceviche (another top example) and smoky, cheesy grilled corn salad that turned both light and comforting. At the other end of the geographic spectrum, moving farther away from "the barrio," Saturday also brought us a suburban surprise in the Four Seasons Troon North’s Talavera. Beginning with a chilled, emerald pea soup "shooter" executed with a buoy of tender lump crab meat; followed with a herb-friendly, salty short rib and potato hash, adorned with a melting sliver of medium-rare strip steak, all drowned in a plush lobster béarnaise sauce; then, finishing with a weightless, grilled strawberry shortcake, Talavera completed a three-course spread that was nothing short of muscle flexing. The Phoenician’s J&G Steakhouse also delivered well on Saturday with its bite-sized squares of seared New York strip steak, bolstered with a mushroom jus and charred asparagus. The Firesky Resort’s flagship restaurant, Taggia, also deserves points for its unadulterated massing of seafood — a near meal-sized chilled salad of squid, shrimp and other seafaring creatures, perfect for a sunny day in the desert. [caption id="attachment_12206" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="St. Francis' Devoured tent"][/caption] And, then Sunday arrived. In an act of theater only matched by its own performance at last year’s event, Kai Restaurant rolled out with bravado, once again proving its dining might. From a buttery "black and bleu" steak tartare; crunchy rounds of toasted brioche, comforted by a simple, well-prepared fried quail egg and dices of smoky bacon on top; and, its signature whole-grain fry bread, topped with pulled pork, a spicy aioli and spring cilantro mix, the venerated Native American-inspired restaurant reserved little in the way of flavor and showmanship. The Pointe Tapatio Cliffs’ famed Different Pointe of View aimed high with its well-made, beautifully plated, made-to-order lobster and pancetta raviolis, stamped with woody morel mushrooms. Petite Maison came in equally strong with an exceptional, flavorful cod and salmon brandade (think breaded, fried dumpling), blended with potato, perched atop a creamy dill crème fraiche. And, never to be outshone, chef Payton Curry’s first solo outing since publicly departing Caffe Boa delivered an expected, mischievous play to sentiments both carnivore and vegetarian friendly, with an aggressive display of cured meats and pork patés, tempered only wryly with a playful, delicious vegan vichyssoise (cold leek soup), made clever with the added earthiness and slight bitterness of rutabaga, proving every ounce the worthy counterbalance. Central Phoenix’s idolized food cart Short Leash Hot Dogs, known for its signature, quirky takes on the all-American hot dog served in pillowy rounds of naan (Indian flatbread), came prepared for the big-ticket culinary festival with adjusted, bite-sized examples. The Montelucia Resort’s Prado restaurant provided a confident assault on our palates with a seafood stew that hinged a collective of briny elements, simmered with potatoes and fluffy squid ink pasta, in a light, spicy, tomato-touched broth. Served steaming hot, though not necessarily the most appetizing concept for a warm, sun-searing day, still a concept that won out nonetheless. Old Town Scottsdale's new Citizen Public House also made a humble showing Sunday afternoon, marking the return of beloved local chef Bernie Kantak (formerly of Cowboy Ciao fame), producing a faultless sample version of its already signature pork belly "pastrami" appetizer, salty and perfectly balanced, under a sharp stacking of vinegary Brussels sprout sauerkraut. Cowboy Ciao itself didn't mince timing as well, however, serving a serious pork belly illustration of its own, accompanied with jewel-sized, malted ice cream sandwiches — a rich refreshment to the smoky pork. [caption id="attachment_12207" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="Arroyo Vodka makes its Devoured debut."][/caption] Sunday also brought louder confirmation of Phoenix’s first serious pop-up ‘mystery’ restaurant concept: Cycle. Set to materialize inside the Lexington Hotel’s currently neglected restaurant space at at Central Avenue and Portland Street on April 1, with an expiration date of this July, Cycle will become a rotating (“cycling,” get it?) showcase of prominent Valley chefs and local bartending heavyweights doing solely what they do best, sans budgetary trappings: creating. For the thirsty revelers, diversity and variety in participants was also an evident improvement over last year's offering. Wine came in strong, with Arizona-beloved Pillsbury Wine Company a clear favorite as usual. Four Peaks, San Tan Brewing and Flagstaff’s Lumberyard Brewery helped represent a marked increase in the number of brew options. And, just as enthusiastically, Phoenix’s own Arroyo Vodka (courtesy of Forward Brands Distillery) brought the party's liquor. Serving the premium, locally distilled spirit in the guise of zesty jalapeño-cucumber cocktails, Arroyo Vodka made a potent, lasting first impression. Add in kinetic, equally palatable live music (an improvement over last year’s lineup), live cooking demonstrations from some of the city’s finest chefs (Vitamin T’s Aaron May, Beckett’s Table’s Justin Beckett, Petite Maison’s James Porter and Barrio Café’s Silvana Salcido Esparza, among many others) and the general communal regard for all things food that we’ve come to know, love and respect about Devoured, and you find yourself in the midst of a first-rate weekend in the city. In this city, the Devoured Culinary Classic is still a peerless culinary event. When it comes to its uncorrupted focus on serious food, and the maturing city it resides in, it remains alone. Crowd bottlenecks, parking annoyances and the sometimes inescapable sear of the sun’s warmth this past week aside, you’d still be at a loss trying to find a better example anywhere else in the city, at any other time of the year. We can’t wait until 2012. Below is just a taste of the samples enjoyed at this year's Devoured Culinary Classic. Yum!

_____________

Now you see it, now you don’t. After much guesswork, Phoenix’s first official pop-up restaurant is now on a certain path to life. Murmurs of the "mystery restaurant" have generated momentum since first officially reported here last week. Confirmed to the public this past weekend at the Devoured Culinary Classic, the puzzle is finally connecting. [caption id="attachment_12223" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="The dining space, pre-Cycle renovation."][/caption] Accurately labeled as Cycle, referring to both the temporary nature of the restaurant, as well as its planned, continuous rotation of notable guest chefs and bartenders, it will exist inside the Lexington Hotel’s current dining and bar space, at Central Avenue and Portland Street. Inside the cavernous physical space exists an underestimated front-row seat to the spine of Central Phoenix and Downtown: Central Avenue. Wedged between the Downtown core and Midtown, just south of Deck Park and directly across the street from the Roosevelt light rail station, optimal geography and traffic — pedestrian, bicycle, rail and car — will be paramount to maintaining Cycle’s intended pulse. Set to debut April 1, and “expire” (as playfully described) this July, as ambiguous as Cycle will arrive into the world, it will leave equally so. [caption id="attachment_12224" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The home to future mixology, pre-Cycle renovation."][/caption] Cycle will be an entirely new, almost improvisational concept to Phoenix. Unlike other, similar dining trends circulating (namely underground dinner clubs), pop-up restaurants are fully functioning enterprises that are anchored in one location, are completely open to the public and advertise predetermined shelf lives. Talented chefs, established and up-and-coming, will be allowed to flex their culinary skill and inspiration instantaneously to the public, with little restriction to creative whims. Currently being fine-tuned, the space’s inaugural chef and concept will be announced in the coming week. In the meantime, the makeshift facelift of the physical space is already underway. Cycle will operate at the hotel's interim restaurant space through mid-summer, when the entire property — Cycle included — will shutter, heading into renovation hibernation. Under recent, ambitious new ownership, the Lexington Hotel is set for a dramatic, modern transformation. The new boutique hotel and its accompanying, permanent restaurant concept (unrelated to Cycle) will open subsequently sometime next year. Cycle will be located at 1100 N. Central Ave.]]> 12162 0 0 0 5336 http://vanishingphoenix.com/2011/03/17/weeks-email-good-bad-ugly-phoenix/ 0 0 13725 https://vimeo.com/user5826223 Title [... ]always a huge fan connected with connecting in order to writers i always including yet genuinely don’t find some url enjoy from[... ]…]]> 0 0 13727 https://www.facebook.com/RickQuotes/ Title [... ]always a tremendous supporter of relating for you to writers that i similar to however actually don’t find a sufficient amount of link appreciate from[... ]]]> 0 0 13729 https://www.facebook.com/hindisongzlyrics/ Title [... ]very number of websites which eventually become precise down below, from our perspective are generally definitely wonderfully value checking out[... ]…]]> 0 0 13732 https://www.quora.com/Lyrics-End Title [... ]we choose to respect quite a few different online web pages online, even though that they aren’t related to you, simply by relating for many years.

They’re helping clean it up as the first lot to participate in the A.R.T.S. program developed by the Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation. A.R.T.S. stands for Adaptive Reuse of Temporary Space and is described by Roosevelt Row leader and A.R.T.S organizer Kenny Barrett as a “vacant lot activation” initiative. Making good use of vacant lots has been a dream of many Downtowners for years now. But it has become an even more fervent dream in recent years, as more and more lots have sat vacant due to developers opting to wait until the economy turns around. In fact, many residents and neighboring business owners had gotten used to hearing that these lots will become something great, but only in 10 or 20 years. Meanwhile, the people of Phoenix are expected to live with these empty lots amidst their surroundings day in and day out. But Roosevelt Row was convinced that something could be done with these vacant lots now so the people of Phoenix didn’t have to wait a decade or more to use them. The next step was figuring out a way. According to Cindy Dach, another Roosevelt Row leader and A.R.T.S. organizer, there was an “aha” moment when they discovered a mulch solution. One of the biggest hurdles of activating a vacant lot is implementing dust control measures mandated by the Maricopa County Department of Air Quality. The typical method of dust control, adding gravel to the site, costs around $10,000, according to Dach. But Barrett’s experience with the urban garden on Garfield and 6th streets proved that mulch was just as effective — if not more so — than gravel for dust control, and he knew someone who could donate it. With this solution in hand, Dach and Barrett knew they could make a go of it. Another big hurdle in activating empty lots is getting the owners of those lots to come to an agreement to let other organizations, such as Roosevelt Row, use them. As it turns out, the owners of the first chunk of A.R.T.S. project land, Richard Gordon and Jerry Grossman, agreed to lease their lot on the north side of Roosevelt between 4th and 5th streets to Roosevelt Row for an amount that covers their property taxes. Dach was quick to point to the problematic existing state legislation that taxes undeveloped land at a lower rate than land that is developed, thereby incentivizing land owners to keep their lots empty. She mentioned that one of A.R.T.S.' long-term goals is to instigate change in this policy and to penalize property owners with higher property taxes if they choose to keep their land undeveloped, or even better, have an option to eliminate their property taxes if they agree to lease the land to nonprofits for temporary uses. How is Roosevelt Row getting permission from the city to reactivate this vacant lot? The nonprofit applied for a zoning adjustment to get a use permit to allow a farmers market per the new Downtown Code. There is a hearing at the end of the month, and with all the community support, expect no problems in the application approval. One fear that city officials and others typically express about the temporary use of vacant lots is what will happen once the lot gets developed and the temporary uses need to be removed. But, to this concern, Dach responds that city officials should be more fearful that “if we do nothing, people will flee.” She contends that having desolate empty lots Downtown inhibits the area from becoming a vibrant, walkable, livable community that would attract people to come and live in the central core of Phoenix. So, now that Roosevelt Row has leased the lot, has dust control taken care of, and has a use permit from the city, what is the organization planning to do? So far the group has the lot programmed one to two times a month with First Friday and possibly Second Saturday vendors. But Roosevelt Row envisions the space being activated on a regular basis by art installations, movie showings, arts markets, art performances and garden projects. Roosevelt Row plans to curate the space by putting out a call to the community for project proposals. The winning projects would have to be equal partners with the nonprofit and would have to pay a sponsorship fee of some sort. The CDC is currently in the process of developing the project proposal forms.]]> 12237 0 0 0 5330 0 0 5334 0 0 5335 http://vanishingphoenix.com/2011/03/17/weeks-email-good-bad-ugly-phoenix/ 0 0 5353 http://vanishingphoenix.com/2011/04/03/friday-friday-gettin-down-friday/ 0 0 5326 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp2Lzk1YRJo 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/16/fresh-market-st-pattys-day/ Wed, 16 Mar 2011 20:25:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12256 Market Updates Check out the finished landscaping and shading on the market lot this week when you stop by.

15th Avenue at Wilshire Drive (Encanto Park)

In the 1930s, when Encanto Park was springing to life, the city needed a focal point for its first-ever municipal golf course. On the "banks" of the man-made lake in the center of the park, the Encanto Park Clubhouse was erected. Original architect Lee Fitzhugh planned the clubhouse in 1936 as part of the biggest parks and development program in Phoenix's history, settling on an immaculate Spanish Colonial Revival design. Lescher and Mahoney, noted architects in their own right and designers of the Orpheum Theatre, among others, finished the project later that year. It's a sturdy hunk of a building — brick, with a concrete foundation and a sandblasted exterior. Over 75 years, the alterations have been minor, cosmetic touches, such as replacing and fixing the clay roof tiles, often victims of the Phoenix summer sun. A brick elevator shaft was also added to suit city code. Exceptional Spanish Revival details include intricate brick banding at the parapet and chimneys. The hipped, flat roof reveals exposed rafters below. The original pergola offers shade to the intimate offset entryway. It was built as the definitive structure of the park and golf course, and it still does not disappoint decades later. Encanto Park is indeed ever-transitioning (pick up a February/March issue of DPJ magazine for all the details), but it's a true boon to the city that such an excellent central structure remains intact.

The 31-year-old is supporting her recently released a new album, City of Refuge, which with no surprise is as glorious as her other work. Washburn is a banjo-playing, singer-songwriter who shows off her Americana skills with every note and word on her record. In the title track, she reels you in with the rawness of her banjo and chilling vocals and then transitions to a hum of strings that will have you falling in beat. This is topnotch songwriting. Clearly, Washburn is no new-timer to the music industry. She picked up the banjo before deciding to study law at Beijing University in China. After traveling the East Coast, she started playing the old-time sound and headed south. Washburn happened to play the write songs to the right people and got offered a record deal. Let’s just say the rest is history. Before going solo, she played with Uncle Earl and then released her first solo record, Song of a Traveling Daughter. It’s been five long years since her last solo release, and it sounds like she’s definitely been preparing for this one. In this record, the banjo takes the passenger seat while her vocals take over. The soft sounds of the banjo, piano and strings never overpower her soulful voice, while guest vocalists Ketch Secor and Morgan Jahnig from Old Crow Medicine Show add a nice touch to “Bring Me My Queen.” Take advantage of this old-time, bluegrass sound in Arizona, because it doesn’t happen as often as it should. Tickets are $12, doors open at 7:30. The Rhythm Room is located at 1019 E.

Before tasting Pane Bianco’s version, the stars never truly aligned. I had no idea what I was missing. I had no idea what a tuna sandwich could be. Pane Bianco is the intentionally stark and rugged side-project of James Beard Award-wining local pizza-maker Chris Bianco. Absorbing and sourcing superlative ingredients, the straightforward sandwich outlet crafts a small, rotating list of sandwiches and sides that might seem limited on paper, but not in scope. You couldn’t ask for more. Now a cemented staple on its menu, the tuna sandwich at Pane Bianco in particular exposes what the takeaway shop does so successfully: pitch-perfect simplicity. Briny, olive oil-packed tuna blushed with swigs of vinegar and fresh lemon, all welded loosely with the sharpness of red onion and olive — the main event would be tasty enough eaten solo by fork. But, when adorned with the added pepper of baby arugula and pressed between Chef Bianco’s infamous sandwich bread (think ciabatta’s leaner, softer cousin, blistered pizza perfectly in a wood-fired oven), you quickly discover a flawlessly constructed sandwich. For those who consider themselves permanently scarred by the soggy tuna sandwiches of old, I say, the clouds part at Pane Bianco. Sideline the outing with Bianco’s notoriously addictive rice pudding, warmly vanilla-fied and crowned in raisins, making sure to add in a Mexican cola (or two) for post-bite guzzling, and the once-expected takeaway experience begins to transcend the best of the best.

Their four-game losing streak couldn’t have come at a worse time. With 16 games remaining in the regular season, the Suns are now sitting back at .500 and are two-and-a-half games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot. With a hobbled Steve Nash, a zombie-like Vince Carter and an injured Channing Frye, things aren’t looking good. Tonight, though, the Suns will have a chance to start saving this sinking ship. The Golden State Warriors will be visiting US Airways Center this evening in Downtown Phoenix, and quite frankly, they’re a pretty bad basketball team. The Suns won the previous three meetings against the Warriors this year, and they must complete the season sweep tonight if they want to have any chance to salvage their playoff hopes. I think it starts with the fans. The Suns haven’t been a very good home team this year, and I think a large part of that has to do with how quiet the crowd has been the whole season. Maybe quiet isn’t even the word; it gets loud. Problem is, its gets just as loud cheering for the opposing team as it gets cheering for the Suns. Teams don’t fear coming to Phoenix. They know that a good portion of the fans in attendance will be cheering them on. Twice this year I’ve heard chants for the visiting team drown out the Suns fans. That has to change. The Suns don’t have a lot of home games remaining, but they have enough that we could at least begin to turn the tide. We can turn Planet Orange into a legitimate sixth man. The Purple Palace can and should be a place teams fear, but it starts with us. Golden Sate is a tough place for teams to play. Not because the Warriors are a good team, but because the fans bring the energy every night. There’s no reason we can’t do the same in Phoenix. My call to you, Suns fans, is to get out to every remaining game you can this season. Don’t allow fans of the other team waltz into our house and put their feet up. Stand up, be loud and keep them quiet. The Suns are still in this playoff race, but they can’t do it without us.

541 W. Encanto Blvd. in Willo

This quaint, Mission-style building on 7th Avenue and Encanto Boulevard appears as just another fine residence in the Willo Historic District, but its nearly 70-year history shows its civic roll in the expansion of the city center in the World War II era boom of the region. Built in 1942 and renovated several times, the building has been a single-family residence, a glorified storage unit, an office space and the City of Phoenix Fire Station #8. It was perhaps the city's most unique-looking fire station, and rightly so. All the signs of Mission architecture are in plain sight: a hipped, clay tile roof with exposed rafters; stucco sheathing covering brick walls on a concrete foundation; wood casement windows; and an offset entry featuring a multiple wood panel door. Take note of the two-leaf bi-fold garage door, still in excellent condition. It was the vision of original resident E.B. Smerdon, who lived in the home from its completion until 1947, when it was converted to Station #8. An unlikely candidate for a fire station, yes, but today the building is a perfect representation of the need for rapid fire station expansion following World War II, as the "suburbs" (a centralized historic district today) sprouted quickly.

Shows are popping up all over the place, and it’s getting harder to choose which ones to attend. Tonight and tomorrow, you have some choices to make. Yes, we all know Lady Gaga is gathering her monsters at the US Airways Center this weekend, but not everyone can afford the price tag of $50 to nearly $200. Tonight at The Rhythm Room, Miniature Tigers come back to their home turf to play with record label friends Gospel Claws, Los Angeles-based Pepper Rabbit, Alvin Band and ROAR. The last time Mini Ts came through here and played Rhythm Room, the show sold out. They also sold out Scottsdale's American Junkie when they came to town with The Roots last year, so expect a pretty packed place. The band has been nonstop touring for the past year, so being welcomed back by Phoenicians might be a nice change of pace. Any tickets left at the door will be $13. The show starts at 8 p.m. If you’re looking for an even more laid back place to grab a drink and listen to some music tonight, then head to The Lost Leaf. Everyone's favorite 5th Street hangout will host Kongos tonight. This band of four brothers doesn’t hold anything back live and leaves the set list at home. As always, shows at The Lost Leaf are FREE and 21+. Tomorrow, Downtown hosts another amazing local show. Following the Suns game, Kinch will be at Hard Rock Café waiting for all the decked-out orange-and-purple-colored fans. Fresh out of South by Southwest, Kinch played three back-to-back shows in Austin and deserved a break afterward, but instead they're busting out the amps and instruments for a free show for their hometown fans. So, sit down and enjoy a much less expensive beer than at the game. The show is FREE and doors are at 9 p.m. That's a lot of live music to handle in 48 hours, but we have faith in you to be able to at least make it to one. Get out and support your local scene!

Photo by Barry Gossage, NBAE/Getty Images."][/caption] Before I get to the topic of this week's Suns Spot, I have to tip my hat to the Phoenix Suns. Even though they lost a heartbreaking triple-overtime game in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the fact that they even made it a game is a true sign that this team is a lot more resilient than people might realize. To come from 21 down in the third quarter against the two-time defending champs and force three overtimes when the team’s playoff chances are already very slim is quite impressive and deserves a round of applause. Games like that are why I love this team. Now, onto tonight’s game against the New Orleans Hornets, one of the teams Phoenix is chasing for a playoff spot. This is the biggest game of the year, although every game from here on out will be the biggest game of the year, given the Suns’ current position in the standings. This game is extra huge because the Suns have their best chance to get into the playoffs by catching the Hornets. Currently, New Orleans is the seventh seed in the Western Conference. While Memphis has a slightly worse record and is in the eighth spot, the Suns don't play them again this year and have already lost the season series, giving the Grizzlies the tiebreaker if the teams finish with identical records. The Hornets, on the other hand, still have two games remaining against the Suns, including tonight, which gives the Suns a chance to control their destiny. The Suns need to come out fired up tonight and take care of business. When these teams last met in New Orleans, the Suns didn’t show up until the fourth quarter, and by then it was too late. If the Suns play like they played in the second half Wednesday, they should have no problem getting a win tonight. In my eyes, the Suns are a better team than New Orleans, but they just haven’t been able to sustain any consistency this season. The Hornets are coming off of an overtime win last night in Utah and may be without starting forward David West, who went down with an apparent knee injury in the game. This just makes the game all that more important and all that more winnable for Phoenix. If the starters come out and play even with the starting five New Orleans puts on the court, the Suns will be fine. Jared Dudley and the rest of the Suns' bench have been playing strong. Aaron Brooks is coming off a game-changing and game-saving performance against the Raptors. Despite the Suns’ recent four-game losing skid, they’ve been given another opportunity to sneak back into the playoffs. They can’t afford to let it slip away.

On Roosevelt Row, the gRow House has partnered with the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) to bring teens in quarterly to learn how to maintain gardens. The partnership has been so successful that it has expanded to include autistic adults, and a portion of the garden is now used solely for weekly and monthly SARRC work.]]> 12353 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/03/29/eat-words-carolinas-oaxaca-special/ Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:02:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12369 Carolina’s. Central to everything, yet clearly removed from any beaten path, Carolina’s Mexican Food is one of those unlikely neighborhood hideaways that thrives entirely from generations of homegrown loyalty, far-reaching word of mouth, and not, as the formula would have us believe: location, location, location. Weathered without shame, with its faded, dusty concrete floors and prison-white cinder block walls, Carolina’s flagship just southeast of Downtown at 12th and Mohave streets may read unshaven at first impression. Once you sample any one of their many tried-and-true specialties, however, any perceptions of atmosphere immediately render insignificant — or perfectly charming. Though Carolina’s earns celebrity for its treasured flour tortillas, faultlessly chewy, blistered and irresistible whether devoured warm or at room temperature, there's more to this neighborhood institution than their calling-card attraction. Using those tortillas as a foundation, say hello to the Oaxaca Special burro, one of many such varieties of the wrapped and rolled on the menu. Level-headed and warming, the Oaxaca Special is an efficient, humble envelope of Carolina’s signature housemade chorizo, smoky and spiced, furled with layers of soft potato and, rightly so, the added insulation of golden, melted cheese. Good for lunch, dinner or even better: breakfast leftovers the following morning. Carolina’s is likewise a draw for its hearty, patiently stewed meats and smoky, velvety chile — type red most of all. The beef machaca in almost anything is excellent, seasoned and nearly dripping, and the menudo (served only on Saturday mornings) makes morning-after crawls worth any extra effort. Tangle in a bag of warm, homemade tortilla chips, salty and sharp, and a few helpings of the house red salsa, and you immediately understand how Carolina’s not only still hums after all these years, but also why it’s still so beloved. Downtown couldn’t be luckier. [gallery] Carolina's is located at 1202 E. Mohave St. in South Phoenix — 602.252.1503.

816 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

The corner of 3rd and McKinley streets is a tiny haven for Western Colonials built at the turn of the century. One of the few areas of Evans Churchill that hasn't been demolished in favor of dirt, this stretch proudly displays an architectural style with enough intricate detailing to tell the history of this overlooked neighborhood. One such Western Colonial, the Howard Cassidy House, was built in 1899, a one-and-a-half-story brick building on a concrete foundation. The original fired brick wall sheathing, now well over 100 years young, is still in handsome form. But it is the ornate detailing — the ornamental woodwork around the windows and roof ventilator line and the balustrade that forms around the porch — that makes the Cassidy House such a valued relic. Cassidy, a local salesman at the turn of the century, had a taste for the flashy, and liked the way the hipped roof flared out facing the street. The octagonal asphalt shingles of the era were a nice touch as well. The home's standout feature is its recessed entry via a wooden door with glass widows off of the front porch. Large widows at the front and rear of the home ensure plenty of daylight peeks through. An addition to the home some years later placed a rear patio and apartment toward the back, lining the alleyway. For most of its life the house served its original intention as a single-family residence. After Cassidy left, William Farish, assistant manager of the U.S. Reclamation Service, was a tenant for some years. Today, of course, 816 N. 3rd St. is widely known as the Roosevelt Tavern, one of Downtown's premier sources for microbrews and choice wines. Even the former studio apartment in the rear has been converted, now serving as the bar's kitchen and storage area. For a look at the history of the home, visit the Roosevelt and take in all of the rooms — historical touches are still present in each.

Although she wasn’t born in Arizona, she was born into music. Her entire family has music coursing through their blood: Her uncle is Grammy-winner Ruben Blades and her father produced many Latin artists. She was born in Panama, raised in Florida and found her way to Phoenix, of all places, by throwing a dart at a map. Barely in her 20s now, she has signed with River Jones Music and released an album last year called Oh, Nostalgia!

Photo by Doug Pensinger/ALLSPORT"][/caption] With the Phoenix Suns' recent struggles eliminating them from playoff contention earlier in the week, I’ve decided to shift gears here at the Suns Spot. While most other bloggers around the Interweb are talking about ending the year on good note or looking ahead to what the summer may have in store, I’m taking a different route. Anyone who knows me knows my two loves are the Suns and film. Fittingly enough, the Phoenix Suns are tied to a film that happened to have its world premiere last night in Scottsdale to kick off the 2011 Phoenix Film Festival. The film, Starting at the Finish Line: The Coach Buehler Story, is executive produced by none other than Suns small forward and former Duke super stud, Grant Hill. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it out to see the film, but it is generating good early buzz. The documentary focuses on the life of legendary Duke track coach, Al Buehler. Buehler has touched and inspired the lives of many world-famous athletes, such as Carl Lewis, Shane Battier and of course, Hill himself. For 55 years, Buehler has been the face of Duke track and field. He has even had a huge impact in women’s athletics as well, helping break gender barriers in the sport. Unfortunately, Buehler’s most recent challenge is his toughest, as he faces the uncertainty of a brain tumor. Hill was at the premiere of the film, pushing this inspirational story out to the masses. Without having seen it I can only imagine that this film is both uplifting and heartbreaking. If the film is made with as much passion and heart as Hill gives on the court each night, then it is surely an emotionally moving documentary. While the Suns may be struggling on the court, it is good to see their stars do things off-court to help spread the kindness of others.]]> 12480 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/01/cycle-open/ Fri, 01 Apr 2011 23:08:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12493 Cycle. First up this weekend? Veteran local chef Tracy Dempsey and Hey Joe Filipino Street Food. Last night, Phoenix’s first, official pop-up restaurant concept debuted Downtown in the recently vacated, reimagined dining space inside the evolving and Lexington Hotel. As the name Cycle alludes, each week may bring surprises both subtle and dramatic, with chef and resulting menu changes often taking place spontaneously until the space’s “sell-by” date arrives late this summer. [caption id="attachment_12501" align="alignright" width="350" caption="Cycle's debut includes Hey Joe Filipino Street Food and Tracy Dempsey."][/caption] During the month of April, Cycle initially intends to play exclusively on the weekends, when a diverse range of personalities will assume both the interior kitchen’s helm, as well as the front driveway, where popular food trucks might be parked outside for more fast-casual dining experiences. Adding to the spontaneous, community-oriented vibe of the sly enterprise, a handful of local artists will be creating what they do best, in temporary on-site studios just down the hallway. Simply put: roll in, grab a bite and explore. This weekend brings a contrast in tasty grazing, with authentic (and sometimes adventurous) Filipino street eats courtesy of Hey Joe, paralleled outside the hotel’s front entrance, offering everything from mung bean popsicles and pork lumpias (think egg rolls), to more subtle offerings like "chicken ass." A sit-down menu of more tactful, though equally delicious, offerings courtesy of seasoned local kitchen maestro Tracy Dempsey will also be available. The yin to a feathered posterior's yang, you could say. For Dempsey’s contributions in particular, with a thrifty price point of $7 each, diners can satisfy both their savory and sweet cravings for well-crafted, premium-quality food sans any usual pretension (all food will be served on paper plates). On the savory side of her menu, think smoky salmon rillettes, Lisa G’s storied meatballs (the recipe being from the same, now defunct Coronado restaurant by the same name), or soul-warming bacon and Gruyere tarts, assembled with meat from venerated local purveyor Tender Belly. Considering Dempsey’s known mastery in the world of pastry, expect no letdowns with tempting dessert items like quirky cookie platters, bright lemon tarts and cheeky s’mores cupcakes. With an ability to book reservations online, diners will now be able to secure seats in advance at Cycle. Or, at least as far in advance as we are led to know, as Cycle intends to regularly update its website with each new or upcoming evolution as it materializes. Cycle intends to transition from the current weekend-only service to daily service, beginning in May.]]> 12493 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/04/dbacks-digest-2011-diamondbacks/ Mon, 04 Apr 2011 18:29:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12509 [/caption] After a busy winter, the Arizona Diamondbacks continued to make changes during spring training, as they kicked off their first season in their new Scottsdale spring training facility. With several personnel moves throughout the spring, the Diamondbacks not only revived their roster, but also their coaching staff as well. While Kirk Gibson remains the manager — his “interim” tag finally removed — he has been surrounded with several All-Star-caliber coaches. Members of the new coaching staff include Charles Nagy, Eric Young, Don Baylor and Alan Trammell. Baylor was acquired from the Colorado Rockies' coaching staff. Matt Williams remains on the staff this year. The Diamondbacks kicked off the 2011 season on the road against the Rockies last Friday in a game that went extra innings. On opening day, the D-backs faced Ubaldo Jimenez, a pitcher of All-Star caliber, and were able to handle his pitching successfully. Jimenez gave up six earned runs to the Diamondbacks, and Ian Kennedy kept the game close for Arizona. The D-backs won in the 11th inning off of a runner scoring on a wild pitch. Game two of the season was a close loss, as Rockies pitcher Jorge De La Rosa performed at the plate and on the mound. He threw five-and-a-third scoreless innings and drove in a run as the Rockies beat the D-backs 3 to 1. The third game of the series, scheduled for Sunday, was postponed due to snow. The D-backs will face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field at the beginning of the week and will return home to Phoenix for their home opener against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.

Cheeky, aggressive and masculine, the tag engenders a visual storyboard of hefty, grim cuts of meat, volumes in variety and clear in its purpose — the perfect name to encapsulate an intended concept. Whether or not The Arrogant Butcher’s moniker accurately describes what is literally served off its menu is another story. The latest dining concept in the mighty Fox Restaurant Concepts’ arsenal (an organization known for its stylish premeditation), The Arrogant Butcher views like a colorful, vampy French bistro from the sidewalk, and a sharp, high-brow sports bar upon entry. And its menu? Diversity in options, yes, casting a surgically wide net for curious diners of all stripes; however, an over-arching focus on meat, in all of its haughty forms? Partially absent, at least not in relationship to what its name suggests. In fact, one could argue that The Arrogant Butcher is still in search of an identity. [caption id="attachment_12536" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="The Last Word"][/caption] What can be said, however, is that the wildly popular new Downtown restaurant doesn’t seem to be hindered by any such superficial perceptions. Frankly, it’s packing crowds, and Downtown should all the more relieved (and thankful) for it. Without question, one side benefit of The Arrogant Butcher’s obsessive study comes in the form of its dedicated cocktail program. Backpacking a universal renaissance in classic, craft cocktail culture currently surfacing in bars nationwide, all cocktails are measured; herbs, fresh juices and natural sweeteners are preferred over their synthetic counterparts; and, with its studious volume of booze, the bar at The Arrogant Butcher can be a wonderful and picturesque layover for gaping Downtown afternoons. Skill behind the bar comes to a head with a take on the strident, mossy beauty: the Last Word. A prohibition-era benchmark that has only recently gained revised momentum on cocktail menus far and wide, the Last Word is the type of perky, seductive swill that makes you understand the often under-appreciated science of a expertly constructed adult beverage. Served ice cold; equal parts gin (in this case, Hendrick’s); green chartreuse, with its unmistakable floral spice; the slightly dry, bitter warmth of maraschino liqueur; and, the electric veneer of fresh lime, the Last Word’s worn jade hue and perfumed aromas are only polite introductions to its eventual, full enjoyment. At once tart, then bitter, with the perfect undertone of sweetness attached the entire journey, it’s a rounded experience that operates successful individually as an aperitif, a mid-course fortifier and post-dessert palate cleanse. Or, forget the formalities all together — it’s a fine beverage at any turn. Other satisfying cocktail options arrive in the form of the Negroni Sour, where the eternally classic quaff is made an added mouthful with egg whites and lemon sour; and, the astutely refreshing After School Special, an effervescent concoction of raspberry-tainted tequila and Mexican beer (Modelo Especial) balanced with fresh lime, salt and a ginger agave syrup. It’s like a working man’s margarita gone high-street, perfect on a sweltering Downtown day. For light bar sampling, food recommendations begin and end with the customized charcuterie plates, built as large and diverse as you and your party would prefer, with a satisfying range of cured meats, pates, artisan cheeses, vegetables and condiments available to help complete the experience’s canvas. At the end of a long day, The Arrogant Butcher’s namesake may or may not always represent what it ultimately does (or should do) best, but it’s nice to know honest, refreshing surprises can still be discovered.

The meeting was the first time the candidates have appeared in public together during this election and marks the first time that candidates for mayor have participated in a forum focused on the issues important to the LGBT community in Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_12549" align="alignright" width="400" caption="From right: Claude Mattox, Donna Rossi, Greg Stanton, Thane Eichenauer and Wes Gullett at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel on Monday, April 4, 2011."][/caption] All the candidates running for mayor were invited to the forum, but only four participated: Thane Eichenauer who ran for state treasurer last year; Wes Gullett, a consultant of FirstStrategic Communications; City Councilman Claude Mattox; and former city councilman Greg Stanton. About 250 people attended the event, which was moderated by CBS 5 news anchor Donna Rossi, who asked the candidates questions submitted in advance from the audience. Each mayoral candidate was given a minute to respond. During the hour-long forum, questions focused primarily on the LGBT community regarding issues such as school bullying, marriage equality and employer nondiscrimination laws, but other topics like job creation, education, economic development, neighborhood development and the needs of small businesses were also discussed. Four different visions of the role of government emerged during the discussion. For example, when asked if the candidates supported marriage equality, answers varied. Eichenauer responded that government should not be involved in regulating any marriage; Gullet answered that the word "marriage" is a religious word but that he would support civil unions; Mattox said he also supported domestic partnerships; and Stanton answered succinctly, "I support equality." Stanton also stressed the importance of a diverse economy with higher-paying jobs, and said that Phoenix should focus more on creating those industries rather than just trying to attract them. "There is limitless talent in this community," he said. Mattox insisted that strong neighborhoods and schools were the backbone and future of the city. "They are our civic and social centers," he said.

Next up on our collective eating Rolodex is the up-market food and wine mixer, the eighth annual Forks & Corks. This year, Forks & Corks is laying anchor within the airy expanse of CityScape’s outdoor plaza (a welcomed migration inward from the Camelback Esplanade in years past), optimally accessible by modes foot, bike, car and train. A regional production brought to us by the Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association and the Arizona Restaurant Association, expect an energetic, heavy-hitting, hotel-centric local roster of more than 30 billboard restaurants, top chefs, wineries and now craft breweries as well. Where similar events can be week-long, citywide marathons, and some simply intended as weekend-only grazing, Forks & Corks carries unique distinction as being a more refined, single-evening congregation. It’s a creative effort to amplify and showcase our area’s robust dining and drinking repository in a concentrated setting for locals and tourists alike. In addition to restaurant participants and chef demonstrations, there will also be special wine and beer tastings, and a silent auction of food- and travel-related experiences intended to benefit local charities. Some Downtown-based highlights will include the new Province (Westin Phoenix Downtown), District American Kitchen (Sheraton Hotel Phoenix Downtown) and Fox Restaurant Concepts’ new eatery The Arrogant Butcher. Beyond our more urban confines, some key players include: T. Cook’s (Royal Palms Resort), Frank & Albert’s (Arizona Biltmore Resort), Litchfield’s (Wigwam Resort), Lon’s (Hermosa Inn) and Different Pointe of View (Pointe Tapatio Cliffs). A complete list of participating chefs, restaurants, wineries and craft beer purveyors can be found on the event’s website. Happening this evening, Thursday, April 7, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., tickets are available for purchase in advance online for $65, or at the gate for $75. Forks & Corks is a 21+ event.

812 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

Like the neighboring Howard Cassidy House, the Alfred R. Wilson House has had its share of tenants, purposes and facelifts. It is also a relic of a once proud cluster of turn-of-the-century Western Colonials, this one rising in 1907. Outside, an asphalt-shingled roof projects toward 3rd Street at its front façade with an overhanging soffit. Arched brick lintels accent the windows. A front recessed entry is overshadowed today by a hanging rocking chair, hearkening back to a time when this was a single-family home. Wilson, who was a driver for Arizona Laundry, built the house to serve as his family's home, but later rezoning allowed for commercial tenants, which have come and gone time and again over the past few decades. Recently, the house served as the Red Dog Gallery, a hub for canine-centric works of art, and the former home of Bunky Boutique before it moved into the Link Building. The house stands in fine condition today on a concrete foundation, its brick exterior painted with concrete sheathing. But the weathered brick is not the star here. Rather, it's the original flooring inside the home that really shines. Despite recent years' First Friday foot traffic, it seems no worse for the wear. Although additions to the side and rear of the home (again, similar to the neighboring Cassidy House) were made after build-out, other original elements, including the plumbing fixtures and casing, are still here. As of this writing, the building is up for lease, zoned as a C-2 commercial property. For those interested, stop by and take a look next time you're enjoying a beer at the Roosevelt Tavern or wandering around a First Friday route.

Yes, the one and only Miss Jackson is coming to the Comerica Theatre this Friday. Janet Jackson will play a one-of-a-kind show that, let’s just face it, most big-time artists don’t do anymore. She will be performing songs from her album Number Ones and giving diehard fans the best night of their lives. On her “Up Close and Personal” tour, fans will get snippets of the Janet of the ’80s, ’90s and today, all in one night. Jackson decided to skip the large arenas with too many nosebleed sections like US Airways Center for the smaller Comerica Theatre in the heart of Downtown Phoenix. After the most talked-about event in Super Bowl history, Jackson’s last three albums haven’t fared well, so she has since decided to go back to acting. But shortly after Michael Jackson died, Number Ones was released, with everyone’s favorite Janet songs, from young Janet’s “Nasty” to Nutty Professor’s “Doesn’t Really Matter.” Jackson had been talking about touring when the idea of doing an small-venue tour came to mind. There will be no crazy lights, special effects or production elements. Just Janet. In recent interviews, she says that each show will have something the one before it didn’t have to make it more intimate and special for the fans. So, if you want to relive the years of big hair and even bigger earrings, well, leave that stuff behind and just enjoy a legendary singer. Tickets are still available at the Comerica box office and online, ranging from $45.50 to $147. The Comerica Theatre is located at 400 W. Washington St. (light rail at Central/Washington station westbound and 1st Avenue/Jefferson station eastbound) [iframe_loader src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=400+w+washington+st,+phoenix,+az&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.724817,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=400+W+Washington+St,+Phoenix,+Arizona+85003&ll=33.449078,-112.079408&spn=0.006266,0.00912&z=16&iwloc=A&output=embed"]]]> 12600 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/08/suns-spot-bad/ Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:54:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12629 Previous week's games 04/01/2011 SUNS 111, Clippers 98 04/03/2011 Spurs 114, SUNS 97 04/05/2011 Bulls 97, SUNS 94 04/06/2011 SUNS 108, Timberwolves 98 Upcoming week's games 04/08/2011 SUNS @ Hornets, 5 p.m., My45 04/10/2011 SUNS @ Mavericks, 4:30 p.m., My45 04/11/2011 SUNS vs Timberwolves, 7 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona 04/13/2011 SUNS vs Spurs, 7:30 p.m., Fox Sports Arizona With just four games remaining in the 2010-11 NBA season for the Phoenix Suns, let's focus on some of the highlights from this past season. In a season as disappointing as this one has been, it’s hard to find anything to be positive about, but there is always something. Three really stood out for me. 1. Trading Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark to the Orlando Magic for Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus and a first-round pick. This one is a no-brainer. This trade basically came out of nowhere and was quite the shocker. It didn’t take long before Suns fans were begging for Turkoglu to be traded, although no one thought that was really possible. And then we were hit with this. The Suns came up with a trade in which they moved a bad contract, received a quality and underused big, and they actually received a first-round draft pick. Sure, it was tough losing Jason Richardson for whatever is left of Vince Carter, but the addition of Marcin Gortat was and will continue to be huge. Gortat gives the Suns something they’ve lacked since, well, basically forever. He’s a true center and an inside force. He plays solid defense, rebounds really well and has already developed a nice mid-range jumper. This trade gave the Suns a center for the present and the future. Plus, the first-round pick that allowed them flexibility in the Aaron Brooks/Goran Dragic trade. Huge win for the Suns. 2. Marcin Gortat vs. the Boston Celtics On January 28, Gortat had his coming out party in dominating fashion against the Boston Celtics. Sure, the Polish Hammer had already had a few solid games since joining Planet Orange, but this was on national TV against the beasts from the East. In probably the best defensive performance of the year from Phoenix, Gortat led the way with a then career-high 19 points, 17 rebounds, one block and a plus/minus of +14 for the game. Heck, he even hit a three-pointer as the buzzer sounded to end the first half. This ended up being just one of many double-doubles for Gortat, but for me it’s the most memorable, and it appears to be something Suns fans can get used. [caption id="attachment_12638" align="aligncenter" width="592" caption="How is it possible that Grant Hill is 38 years old and playing on such a high level? Photo by Jordan Johnson/Getty Images."][/caption] 3. Grant Hill vs. Father Time Anytime Grant Hill does anything, we are reminded that he’s 38 years old. At a point, it gets a little ridiculous, but then you think about it. It is absolutely remarkable that Hill continues to perform the way he does night in and night out given his age and history with injuries. Hill is finishing up his fourth year with the Suns, and somehow he has continued to get better and better, with this year being by far his best in my eyes. His numbers have remained basically the same with his rebounding taking a slight dip, but it’s the impact he has on his opponent’s stat line that’s so impressive. Hill has gone from what I considered a slightly above-average defender to a great defender. Whether it be a point guard or power forward, night in and night out, Hill defends the opposing team’s best player and more often than not causes them to struggle mightily. Kevin Durant, Kevin Martin and Monta Ellis are just a few of the big-name offensive players that have had awful nights when trying to score on Hill. Clippers rookie Blake Griffin has embarrassed the opposition all season long. When going against Phoenix, Griffin can be seen pouting around the perimeter. At the very least, Hill should make the league's All-Defensive Second Team, even though he probably deserves First. Alvin Gentry says it during every postgame press conference, and he’s right. Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen. Either way, it’s been a pleasure watching Hill shut offensive players down. So, while this season has been a disappointment overall, it has had a few bright spots. The acquisitions of Gortat and Brooks should give the Suns some flexibility and options moving forward. I’ve still enjoyed this team, and I’m excited to see what improvements GM Lance Blanks and company can make over the summer.]]> 12629 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/08/tonight-tomorrow-cocktails-cheesesteaks-cycle/ Fri, 08 Apr 2011 23:52:06 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12644 Selling their signature, hulky sandwiches, each for $9, Phoenix Cheesesteak Company will be in full command of the food menu. Cheesesteak options exist in the form of the “Westside,” “Phoenix” and the more classic but equally tongue-in-cheek “Not From Philly,” with chopped ribeye, charred onions and peppers, all glued together with a spread of trusty (cheese) whiz. Then behind the bar — the “Biker Bar,” as it’s playfully labeled — the first in a procession of planned bartending masters and mixologist MVPs will emerge: Micah Olson. Co-creator of cocktail consulting firm AZ Mixology alongside equally idolized Jason Asher (both of whom met while working side by side during past lives at Sanctuary Resort’s storied Jade Bar), Olson will be gunning a customized, enthusiastic range of distinctive cocktails. With a love for resurrecting the time-tested bones of classic cocktails and polishing and tweaking them for modern audiences, Olson is known for his loyalty to the craft, preferring juices just squeezed, headstrong herbs, studied lines of booze and a heavy respect for the effective might of bitters. Measured and exacted, it’s the science of perfectly constructed, boozy beverages, and we’re all the more lucky to have any opportunity to taste. Beyond a few extra surprises, to be sure, Olsen has tailored a gifted list of five different options. The full drink menu is now available on Cycle’s website. Cycle is open both tonight and tomorrow night for happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m., dinner from 6 to 10 p.m., and the bar operating at full steam until 2 a.m. Cycle is located inside the Lexington Hotel at 1100 N.

For Kimberlin, it’s not about winning the award. He’s aiming for a much bigger prize. He explains: “First and foremost, I want to play an important role revitalizing Phoenix as an urban center, and a key role in that effort, I believe, is living in the central core and inhabiting a small space.” Of course, small spaces are not what Phoenix is known for. Wide expanses, resort-sized homes and sprawl are the things that come to most people’s minds when they think of Phoenix. That’s why we’re extra proud of what Kimberlin has done with his tiny guest house. The way he has embraced his small space is something new for Phoenix, and he knows it. “I believe that for my generation, Gen Y, living in the Valley means striving for something new," Kimberlin says. "We want mobility, we want affordability and we want efficiency.” Be sure to vote for this fantastic little space and show the rest of the country what the "new Phoenix" is all about!

The D-backs began the home stand with a bang, beating the Reds convincingly in the first game 13 to 2. On Saturday, the Reds pulled off the win in game two, but the Diamondbacks took the Sunday game, and the weekend series. Bloomquist ended the week with two doubles, one homer, five RBI, six stolen bases and a batting average of .394. This week, the D-backs continue their home stand against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday and Wednesday. The world champion San Francisco Giants then come to town for a three-game weekend series.

One of our more tenured annual food events, Forks & Corks, now in its eighth circle of the yearly calendar, is also increasingly worth the extra attention. The one-night gathering, brought to us by some of the powers behind our region’s hospitality industry (namely the Arizona Hotel & Lodging Association and the Arizona Restaurant Association), Forks & Corks is a sharp, hotel-centric buffet of some of the area’s billboard dining establishments paired with wines and brew from purveyors both local and beyond. With the pep of a handsome post-work mixer, Thursday’s well-attended event was a decisively more measured example of the tried-and-true culinary festival. While the food served was definitely not restrained, the crowd was — primped and resort casual, attendees were posed for a mid-week evening of high-minded grazing. Some of the evening’s most memorable bites came simultaneously from participants both expected and surprising. As anticipated, Different Point of View (Pointe Tapatio Cliffs), with its stout diver scallops, cooked to order atop a smoky, buttery corn “chowder” and salty, bitter fiddleheads; District American Kitchen (Sheraton Hotel Phoenix Downtown) and its perfectly portioned (and spirit-warming) chicken and waffles; Litchfield’s (Wigwam Resort), with some soundly seared Colorado lamp chops and silky creamed spinach; and even Province (Westin Phoenix Downtown), in particular, with its irresistible jewel-sized, frosted squash cakes, all came to the game strong. Equally impressive eating came with the bite-sized fry bread tacos from Cholla Steakhouse (Casino Arizona), filled with chopped, tender spiced lamb, sweet roasted yellow peppers and goat cheese; Aventura Catering’s refreshing, light-footed shrimp gazpacho; Top of the Rock’s (Marriott Buttes Resort) geometric cubes of ruby-glazed pork belly; and Bluewater Grill, with its appropriately titanic raw bar, stacked with knobby, just-shucked oysters — optimal finger food for crowded, fast-paced eating. An added pillar of this year’s Forks & Corks came, strikingly, in the form of its host venue. Previously held at other locations throughout the Valley (most recently at the Camelback Esplanade) this year’s decision to accommodate the event within the scope of CityScape was one of the most marked, positive impressions of the evening. With Central Avenue closed off for an entire block, allowing attendees and participants to overflow and wrap all available fingers of the complex’s urban courtyard, Downtown Phoenix immediately became the biggest participant of them all. Though seemingly countless, similar events take place each spring throughout the city, whether for the food or the atmospherics, it’s nice to know some emerge as standouts amid the noise.

803 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

On 3rd Street opposite the Alfred R. Wilson House and Howard Cassidy House is a 1909 Western Colonial/Modern building with a long list of residential and commercial tenants. Present-day curb appeal makes it look more like a '50s or '60s build, with a thick layer of earthy stuccoing greeting the street. The historic name is the Marsh Arnott House, honoring the original resident of the home on the northeast corner of 3rd and McKinley streets. Multiple alterations have dramatically changed its appearance and compromised possible historic designation, yet these fixes have fueled the change of tenants over the years — it has served as the William T. Keane Law offices, an arts space, a storage "shed" and more. The list of changes is historic itself: Front and rear façade alterations, exchanged windows, stucco sheathing, layers (upon layers) of paint jobs gone by, a post-build porch overhang, a garage outbuilding and a concrete ramp and rails all came after 1909 — many well after that build-out. Under the newer façades, the home-office is indeed brick, standing on a poured concrete foundation. The flared hip roof, asphalt shingles and overhanging soffit are all qualities typical of the Western Colonial style in this neck of the woods. It is the present-day home of Art Wise, a day service dedicated to fine arts, and a mini-hub for activity on First Fridays.

Fans of bittersweet pop will enjoy lead singer Kip Berman’s vocals paired with dream-like, distortion-filled rock chords (think My Bloody Valentine). Saturday is Record Store Day, bringing not only sales and sweet deals, but also Portland-based Menomena, who will play a free show at Stinkweeds, along with What Laura Says, Kinch and a few other local bands. [caption id="attachment_12820" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Menomena stops by Stinkweeds for a free show on Saturday, April 16."][/caption] Menomena started off making its experimental sound through the use of Deeler, a computer program co-founder Brent Knopf created. That's just the tip of the iceberg of the bizarre dynamic of the band. Band members are never together when recording a record — they send ideas and pieces through email, recording and layering their ideas as they go. Their latest record, Mines, was released July 2010 with a new direction for the band, fueled by more of an instrument feel than the computer beats of previous efforts. The second song, “TAOS,” is the loudest, most energy-charged song on the record. It starts with a hypnotizing beat then kicks in with the drums. The chorus builds up, leading to a soft piano with hymning vocals before bassist Justin Harris' repeated climax of, “Cut my leash and walk away.” The rest of the album takes it back a slew of notches to a slower tone, focusing more on the lyrics. Shortly before the Coachella lineup was announced, Knopf announced he was leaving Menomena to focus on his other band, Ramona Falls.

Justin Upton, selected by Major League Baseball as the official spokesperson for the 2011 MLB All-Star FanFest, will kick off festivities today with a Ticket Hunt. Joined by former Arizona Diamondbacks' star Luis Gonzalez, the 3:30pm Ticket Hunt gives fans six chances to find and win special ticket packages for the FanFest on July 8-12.

“I am excited to be a part of All-Star FanFest. It’s basically a baseball theme park for all ages; it’s very interactive and brings people closer to the game,” said Upton. “I’m also glad MLB is doing the Ticket Hunt again this year because it’s a really fun way to reward passionate fans. The winners won’t be disappointed with the package they receive.”

The first eligible fan at each location in the Greater Phoenix area that finds the MLB All-Star FanFest Ticket Hunt red package(s) will receive four tickets to all five days of MLB All-Star FanFest, Holiday Inn Priority Club Rewards Pass lane passes enabling them to go to the front of the line for select attractions, food vouchers and a voucher for a baseball autographed by Upton. Tickets are usually $30 for adults and $25 for children ages 12 and under, senior citizens and military personnel. The Ticket Hunt will kick off at 3:30 p.m. with details at the official All-Star Game website and will run until 7 p.m. or until all six packages are found, whichever comes first. We'll likely be tweeting up a storm during the event, so be sure to follow @dtphxjournal for results and tips during our live event coverage. Upton and Gonzalez will be at one of the locations to help congratulate winners.]]> 12786 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/15/suns-spot-farewell-20102011-suns/ Fri, 15 Apr 2011 21:32:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12825 [/caption] The Suns came out and played arguably one of their best games of the season. They had their highest scoring first quarter of the year, dropping 43 on the San Antonio D. They played virtually mistake free as they tied a season low in turnovers with 6, going turnover free until about midway through the third quarter. Robin Lopez had his best game since a February road game in Utah. Marcin Gortat continued to lay down the hammer. Jared Dudley looked like a more than capable starting 2. Channing Frye spread the floor and battled on the boards. Steve Nash and Grant Hill were Steve Nash and Grant Hill. Planet Orange was rocking with 18,000 plus that came out to watch a losing team end their year. It was certainly a good high to end the season on. As head coach Alvin Gentry said after the game, 40-42 does sound a whole lot better than 39-43, so this win was important. Now it’s time to start focusing on next year. The Phoenix Suns undoubtedly have a lot of question marks and areas that need fixing. A go-to scorer at the shooting guard position and a rebounding, defensive-minded power forward quickly come to mind. One position that appears to be set and will surely have fans in Phoenix happy is the starting point guard. Despite many rumors coming outside of Phoenix, Steve Nash seems set on remaining a Sun. “I want to be a [Phoenix] Sun … I don‘t really feel like playing with anyone else,” Nash told KTAR Wednesday morning. Regardless of what happens with Nash, this summer is going to be an interesting one for the Phoenix Suns.]]> 12825 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/17/dbacks-digest-snakes-spark-hit-road/ Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:49:40 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12834 Arizona Diamondbacks faced some pretty tough teams this week as they began their week against the St. Louis Cardinals. Although the season is still relatively young, both the Cardinals and the Giants have been a top their divisions thus far. Once the series with the Cardinals was over, the team would face the defending World Champion Giants. Cardinals series The Cardinals would take the first game against the D-backs as Arizona would lose by a score of 8 to 2. The following day, the D-backs would bring the bats, driving in 13 runs on the day. In a battle during which the Cardinals never pulled ahead, the Diamondbacks would reign victorious as they won the second game of the series. In the third and final game of the St. Louis series, the Cardinals would put on a hitting clinic of their own, defeating the Diamondbacks by a score of 15 to 5. Hail to the champs On Friday night the Arizona Diamondbacks would welcome the San Francisco Giants to Chase Field in what would be a close matchup with the 2010 World Series Champions. Losing the first game by a score of 2 to 5, the D-backs would inch a bit closer in the second game of the series before a two RBI hit that would eventually be the difference in that game. Pitching duel? While there is no doubt that the Giants have some of the best pitching around, it should be noted that the D-backs were able to hold their own for the most part. More evidence of this could be seen in the final game of the series, where the two teams would go into extra inning off of a Ryan Roberts’ RBI in the eighth inning. [caption id="attachment_12841" align="alignright" width="275" caption="Drew's single scored Upton to win it in the 12th for the D-backs on Sunday night."][/caption]While going toe to toe with the Giants for another few innings, Stephen Drew would knock in the game winning run as the Diamondbacks win the game by a score of 6 to 5. Hello Cincinnati Reds With the final win against the Giants, this could serve as some momentum for the D-backs as they head to Cincinnati to face the Reds. The Reds are currently on top of their division but the Diamondbacks have had success with the team already this season, which should help with some of the team’s confidence. The OTHER New York team Once the team completes their series against the Reds, they will head to New York to face the Mets. The Mets have been struggling again this season and are currently tied for the worst record with the Houston Astros in the National League.   For ticket information, see the D-backs website.

To celebrate the countdown to July, the All-Star FanFest held a Ticket Hunt for 6 special ticket packages that were hidden around the Valley. Two of the locations were in downtown Phoenix, and congratulations to Chuck Trollope and David McElvogue for scoring!

Appreciated for its varied selection of edibles, from olive oils and spices, to hormone-free meats, produce and daily baked goods, it is a popular refuge for unadulterated, authentic Middle Eastern food. At the heart of Baiz Market rests Al Hana, the grocer’s in-house pit stop for goods made-to-order. With the feel of a small, worn delicatessen, serving everything from large platters and “sandwiches” (think pita wrap) to baked goods both sweet and savory, Al Hana is bookmarked by many as a satisfying, inexpensive option for quick eating that doesn’t lack in quality or flavor. In addition to the many hallmarks served at Al Hana, including their homemade pita bread―distinctly thin, perfectly chewy and baked daily on-site―one of the most notorious stars is, roundly, the shish taook sandwich. Perfectly charred on the grill for the welcomed add-on of smoke and texture, marinated, fragrantly spiced hunks of tender chicken breast are then rolled firmly in said pita bread, lightly toasted, with the added strokes of sweet, juicy tomatoes, sharp onions, vinegary pickles, and the appropriate glue of a garlic sauce, mellow and creamy. Simple, savory and mouthwatering, the shish taook at Baiz Market's Al Hana Restaurant is yet another Downtown bite worth regular returns for more.

821 N. 3rd St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

Seemingly everyone in Downtown Phoenix has an Holgas story (or two, or three… ). The modest apartment complex has been on 3rd and Garfield streets for five decades, and it shows its battle scars — wear and tear from frequent tenant turnover, evidence of the tough love of countless arts projects and layers of cover-up. In recent years, the two-story structure has been know Downtown-wide as a prominent low-rent stop for struggling artists looking for consistent and convenient First Friday showcasing. Cautious art-walkers enter the studios — doubling as living spaces and galleries — to view art in a rather intimate, hands-on manner. During the mid-2000s, Holgas was the spot to check out up-and-coming bands each month in rather informal front-yard showcases. Music is less frequent here these days, but the artsy vibe is still very much alive, and encouraged. Modern in style, the 1960 commercial building meshes well with the remaining low-rise commercial rows on 3rd and 4th streets. Architecturally, it might seem rather unremarkable — painted concrete block, check; flat roof, indeed. The history here is less in the changes and the structural upkeep of the building itself and more in the stories of the unique times shared within its walls and around its walk-up front entrance. Each studio unit has an exterior entryway, with stairs at the north façade leading to a second story. The two commercial offices that face 3rd Street — one currently houses Phoenicia Association’s retail space — have presented a revolving door of tenants and purposes, but appear no worse for the wear. Note: The former street number of the building was 819. It was changed to 821 some time after build-out.

The Slideluck Potshow grew out of Seattle to become a New York-based, non-profit organization that strengthens communities through food and art. An essential component of the Slideluck Potshow is mixing things up, as indicated by the name of the event which is both potluck and innovative slideshow. The goal is to connect the general public with artists, ideas, and cultures in a relaxed, eclectic environment where attendees can make new friends, enjoy home-cooked food, and celebrate the accomplishments and creativity of the local arts scene. Local artists are given five minutes to present their work in the slideshow which is combined with music, interviews and also includes work from renowned artists. Past contributors to Slideluck Potshows in other cities have included the Guggenheim Foundation as well as artists like Chuck Close and Spencer Tunick. Tickets are only ten bucks for an evening of great food, great art and the chance to meet and mingle with Phoenix locals in a beautiful, historic downtown building. The potluck begins at 7 p.m. and attendees are asked to bring entrees large enough to serve 6 or more people. When creating your culinary delight, support local business and use ingredients from the Phoenix Public Market: according to the Slideluck Potshow website, doing so will get you $5 back at the door. Washing and keeping track of large dishes may be difficult, so try to bring food in recyclable disposable containers but don't worry about plates and utensils, those will be provided for the picnic style dinner. The lights will be dimmed at 9 p.m and the spectacular slideshow will begin. When the event ends at 11 p.m., Phoenix will be counted in good company with other cities that have hosted the Slideluck Potshow. The debut of a world famous event in Downtown Phoenix shouldn’t be missed.]]> 12924 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/21/make-scene-no-joy/ Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:55:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12937 No Joy will play this Tuesday, April 26th at the Rhythm Room. No Joy’s Jasmine White-Glutz and Laura Lloyd (both vocalists and guitarists) never stepped foot near each other while recording their EP. White-Glutz stayed in L.A. while Laura Lloyd was in Montreal, Canada. The two would send each other tracks over email until White-Glutz moved to Canada. It wasn’t long until one tweet from the lead singer of Best Coast Bethany Cosentino started a chain of events for the band. In less than a year, the duo was later signed to Best Coast’s label and added two more members to the band. Now a quartet, the group decided to record latest release, Ghost Blonde. The title track will make you want to run to your closet and grab that long lost flannel T-shirt from the 90s. No Joy’s dream-like vocals are intoxicating, melancholy and drown in a pool of grunge-based guitar riffs. It’s as if Warpaint and My Bloody Valentine were smashed together. Who says girls can't rock? Although the tempos are slow and have a '70's stoner feel, when you turn the volume up to 11, there’s no way you’re going to sleep with the powerful notes from the bass and guitar. After playing the UK and South by Southwest earlier this year, their following has grown and the band embarks on a Southwestern tour then off with the Vivian Girls to the Midwest.

This year’s program featured improvisational comedy groups of differing styles, but all equal in their ability to make audiences laugh. Troupes like Coldtowne from Austin, Texas and local group The Light Rail Pirates relied on audience-supplied suggestions to drive the scene. Others like Cog and King Ten, both from L.A., delivered their scenes through a well-known form of improv known as “The Harold”. Local Phoenix groups Dangerville and the National Comedy Theatre incorporated music into their acts. Dr. God from L.A. provided a bit of star power with film star Matthew Lillard making a couple of appearances during their Friday evening set. With each performance, audiences were audibly delighted by the talent of these fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants comedians. To produce thirty straight minutes of unscripted comedy is no small feat, but each group pulled it off with ease. In its ten years of existence, the Phoenix Improv Festival has grown from a single night of local troupe performances to a three-night marquee event, attracting groups from across the country, along with the Valley’s quickest comic minds. Year after year, the festival provides a truly hilarious contribution to the creative culture of Downtown Phoenix. ]]> 12967 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/22/suns-spot-kemba-walker-draft-option/ Fri, 22 Apr 2011 23:38:19 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12964 Draft time Their first attempt at either will come on June 23 when the NBA Draft arrives. As it stands right now the Suns will have the 13th pick in the draft and barring any major luck and a ping pong ball bouncing our way, that’s where the team will stay. Assuming the Suns stay at 13th, there already has been some rumblings and ramblings about who they could potentially land. Kemba Walker One name that has come up recently on different mock drafts around the interweb is junior point guard Kemba Walker, of the University of Connecticut. Walker would be an interesting choice. Offense The six-foot playmaker is uber quick with or without the ball in his hands. He doesn’t have a great jump shot, but he’s able to get into the lane fairly well given his lack of size and has an ability to get to the line. He has pretty decent court vision and can often times find the open teammate. Defense On defense he can be a pesky, in-your-face defender. His speed allows him to stay in front of his man and his quick hands allow him to knock balls away and pick off passes. He’s alert and aware and reads the passing lanes well. Shortcomings His lack of size and inconsistent shot could really hurt him in the Association. While he may be able to stay in front of opposing guards, most can easily shoot or pass over him. Bigger guards can use their size advantage to bully him in the post. Streak not His streaky outside shot could allow defenders to make him one dimensional and force him to hit jumpers. If he does manage to get into the paint, he has a tendency to get his shot blocked. Speed kills Occasionally, Walker’s speed gets the best of him. He’ll play out of control and force the issue. This leads to turnovers or bad shots. Tough call Walker is a tough guy to judge. He has the potential to be a very solid NBA point guard but he must overcome his flaws. As the Suns roster currently stands, I’m not sure Walker is the player I’d select. With Aaron Brooks already backing up Steve Nash, Walker would only give you much of what you already have, but only he’d be lacking the NBA experience. Regardless, Walker is certainly worth keeping an eye on. ]]> 12964 0 0 0 5449 0 0 5412 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/25/wireless-chase-field/ Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:44:27 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=12986 interactive wireless portal for their fans attending the game.

Cubbies The second team of the week during the home stand is another local favorite due to the high number of Illinois transplants, the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have a tremendous following and can also potentially give the D-backs some momentum while the D-backs fans rally around their team.

From house-made sangrias to devilishly spicy, cilantro-heavy Bloody Marys, Province’s studied menu of specialty cocktails mirrors the directional thread of restaurant's kitchen--seasonal, modern American with noted Latin veins. An indulgent starter to Province’s cocktail journey is the Smart Money. A chilled makeup of muddled mint and fresh pear mixed with the floral, weightless attributes of white whiskey (a young, largely steel-aged, wheat-based whiskey) and the sweet warmth of bonded apple brandy, the drink is then polished with the stir of a flamed cinnamon stick. It’s like a mint julep laced with added spice, emboldened with the depth of fruit. Both bright and sour, savory and sweet, what eventually arrives on your hot pink drink coaster (hot pink being Province’s primal accent color throughout) is a well-rounded potion that illuminates the benefits of a finely calibrated drinking experience. At one too many bars a drink like the Smart Money could easily materialize into something sticky and overdone, but at Province, the balance is held. Besides said sangria and Bloody Marys, other beloved drinks at Province: the stalwart Manhattan, bolstered with the intended smoky attributes of rye whiskey, and, the positively effervescent pimlico grid, a carbonated concoction of premium gin, Pimm’s No. 1 liquor, ginger beer, just-squeezed lime and cucumber. With the pimlico grid in particular, as our sweltering summer season once again fast approaches, nothing could seem more appropriate.

Interest has been strong from day one of leasing, with dozens of new residents already enjoying the building's premier location and amenities. ST Residential, the owner of 44 Monroe, decided earlier this year to lease 44 Monroe and capitalize on a strong rental market in Downtown Phoenix while protecting the housing values of people who’ve already purchased condominiums in the acclaimed property. Since leasing began in March, more than 25 leases have been signed. Greystar is handling leasing and management activities at the 34-story skyscraper. “We are huge believers in Downtown Phoenix,” said Wade Hundley, CEO of ST Residential, a powerful consortium of hand-picked private equity groups that include leading investors Starwood Capital, TPG Capital, WLR LeFrak and Perry Capital. The group also manages Safari Drive in Scottsdale and 3rd Avenue Palms in Midtown Phoenix. Those properties continue to see strong interest from buyers and will not be available for lease.

“We feel that the modern, contemporary design and lifestyle at 44 Monroe will continue to appeal to those seeking everything that urban living has to offer,” Hundley added. “44 Monroe has the views, the amenities and the ideal location — all in the heart of Downtown Phoenix.” 44 Monroe's exceptional location — just steps from light rail, dining, entertainment, Civic Space Park and more — is just one of the many perks the building offers. Inside, 44 Monroe is a stylish blend of modern design with urban sophistication. Units come standard with dual master vanities, custom tile surround soaker tubs and separate showers. Each unit is built with “SmartHome” technology and includes Whirlpool Gold appliances with Kohler fixtures, granite counter-tops, large travertine stone entries and gourmet kitchens are standard as are large, private balconies to enjoy city, mountain and urban views. Amenities include a swimming pool, sun deck and spa, large outdoor terrace with a gas grill and fire pit. Access to a fitness center, business center and secured parking comes with each lease. Greystar is currently leasing one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 963 to 2,079 square feet. As of press time, leases range from approximately $1,200 to $3,000.

901 N. 4th St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

ReBAR bustles nightly and on sunny weekend afternoons, but the tiny bungalow on 4th and Garfield streets was never intended as a drink-slinging hangout. No, until recently, the c.1917 building was a quiet, single-family home, built by A.A. Lyall. Its serious present-day alteration, courtesy of a 2009 makeover by landlord Norm Fox, clad the building in COR-10 (Bare Naked) steel, leaving the shell of the building intact, but making it virtually unrecognizable from its original appearance. A weathered façade of rustic, desert-grade steel is complemented by new windows and treatments inside, including shiny, lacquered floors and the bar build-out topped with a one-of-a-kind steel accent piece overhead. The original home was a one-and-a-half-story brick building standing on a concrete foundation with fired brick sheathing. It featured a gabled roof — still in place today, albeit esthetically much different — with asphalt shingles. The makeover kept the exposed rafters under the hood in place. The old widows, centered on arched brick lintels, are now departed in favor of pseudo-industrial replacements with steel slats, which are admittedly a neat visual accent, but a far cry from their historic predecessor. Perhaps interestingly, the recessed, off-center front entrance remains in its original spot, tucked in a dark alcove beneath a front veranda porch supported by four columns. The initial paneled wood door is of course long gone in favor of a now matching steel and glass number, which serves as the pass-through point from bar to patio.

410-412 E. Garfield St. in Evans Churchill (light rail at Roosevelt Station)

These days, the Harry S. Bennett Apartments are probably best known as a convenient stoop to hang around on First Fridays. The building on Garfield Street between 4th and 5th streets is in serious need of some TLC, which it was set to receive more than a year ago when it was slated to become Matt Carter’s El Rey restaurant, a cantina that would have featured rooftop flamenco dancing and an extensive tacos and tequila-based menu. The renovation never happened, of course, and the indigenous apartment building has continued to be slathered in alternating coats of graffiti and extensive mural work. Though this is not a case of an uninteresting building that has lost all hope. It needs a good gutting, yes, but it’s an architecturally interesting multifamily building nonetheless. Constructed in 1926, Bennett, an engineer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, built the apartments to house himself and three other tenants. It was a packed house upon build-out. At two stories, it still features original brickwork positioned atop its poured concrete foundation. A diamond panel on the fascia above the porch stands out as a relic of an earlier era, a classy touch amid the spray-painted brick seen today. The flat-top roof probably needs some work to make it into any envisioned nightlife spot, but the first-floor porches are in surprisingly solid shape. Replacing any remaining windows is a must. The second-floor balconies were altered mid-century when A/C units were installed, but otherwise, little esthetic work has been done to the place. A future tenant will find that it is a rather spacious building that can make a mean bar, restaurant or venue when the time (and capital) arrives.

[caption id="attachment_13138" align="alignright" width="225" caption="Chef Jesus Cibrian cooks at Maya's Farm at South Mountain."][/caption] At a recent tasting at Maya’s Farm at South Mountain, Chef Cibrian prepared a breakfast feast to showcase how he incorporates local ingredients into his menus. With local favorites like Schreiner’s Sausage, Queen Creek Olive Mill olive oil, Arizona Cheese Company cheese and, of course, Maya’s veggies and eggs, Chef Cibrian concocted a three cheese and roasted bell pepper frittata with sides of roasted root vegetables, red potatoes and Southwest turkey sausage. Over sizzling skillets, Chef Cibrian described his passion for local as a "religion" and a reason why, five years ago, he convinced Aventura, the Phoenix Convention Center’s catering contractor, to give it a try. He also wants out-of-town guests to experience the flavor of Arizona — literally — through his food. Chef Cibrian says again and again, “The difference in taste is like [the difference between] night and day.” Through partnerships with local distributor, Stern Produce, and small farms within 150 miles of Downtown Phoenix like Maya’s, Chef Cibrian is able to ensure that 20-25% of his ingredients are local, seasonal and hit the table within 48 hours of harvest. The biggest challenge to this is, as you might expect, is scale. Individual small farms are not able to produce the amount of product needed to meet Chef Cibrian’s needs. And, that’s where Stern’s comes in. Stern’s takes the food orders and then fills them by making stops at several farms. They then clean the produce to ensure food safety standards are met before making the final delivery. [caption id="attachment_13140" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Farm fresh breakfast"][/caption] Another challenge is consistency, both in terms of product look and availability. Chef Cibrian has to plan his menus months in advance to coincide with Arizona growing seasons. And he has to be creative when his pesticide- and herbicide-free produce doesn’t look exactly like it would in a supermarket. That’s when, Cibrian says, ingredients like tomatoes that have unsightly lumps and bumps become tomato sauce. And, it’s not just about what is served here. It is also about how it is served and disposed of. Chef Cibrian uses reusable dishes and cutlery or biodegradable versions made from corn or bamboo. Any prepared meals that go unserved are collected by Waste Not, a local nonprofit that delivers catering and restaurant leftovers to shelters and soup kitchens. Cibrian estimates that this equates to a donation of about 5,000 meals a year. So, what does it mean for Downtown Phoenix that such a huge economic engine like the Phoenix Convention Center is doing business this way? Maya Dailey, owner of Maya’s Farm at South Mountain and one of Downtown’s original advocates for the local movement, discusses the impact of Chef Cibrian’s preference for local ingredients. ]]> 13137 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/04/29/make-scene-death-cab-comerica/ Fri, 29 Apr 2011 21:22:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13157 Death Cab for Cutie coming. Yes, Downtowners, the famous indie foursome is coming to our fair city. The last two times the band came through the state they played Mesa Ampitheatre, and now they’re going big. With their seventh studio album, Codes and Keys, about to come out at the end of May, the band will surprise their fans with a darker sound while also playing the classics.

Since 2008, frontman Ben Gibbard ditched his wire-framed glasses, married indie superstar Zooey Deschanel and found a completely different direction for him and his band’s music. Every six weeks, the band relocated to different studios all over the West Coast. The band’s traditional folk sound has grown into a dark folk with strings and electronic sound. Don’t fret, they’re lyrics still have the same cute, heartbreakingly honest lyrics. A few songs have released including “Some Boys” and “Codes and Keys.” After reading these lyrics, it’s no wonder he won over Deschanel’s heart. “You're on the floor fearful of what's outside your door, but the codes and keys they can protect you from the pangs of jealousy,” from “Codes and Keys.” Although hardcore fans may be questionable to the new sound, it won’t disappoint. You’ll hear many characteristics between “Transatlanticism” (the song not the album) and the new songs. Presales start on Monday, May 2 and tickets go on sale next Friday. It’s been three years since they’ve come to Arizona, why would you want to wait another three because you didn’t buy tickets this time? Death Cab for Cutie plays Comerica Theatre on August 15. ]]> 13157 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/05/02/dbacks-digest-visiting-teams-sent-packing/ Mon, 02 May 2011 14:01:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13186 Arizona Diamondbacks had a good week at Chase Field as they won one series and tied the next against the Phillies and the Cubs. The Phillies came in to Arizona on Monday in first place in the National League East. Phillies series In the first game of the series, Ian Kennedy would get the nod a day after becoming a new father. Kennedy would pitch a complete game shutout, striking out ten and only allowing three hits. The D-backs would win on Monday by a score of four to nothing. On Tuesday the D-backs would win again as they slide past the Phillies by a score of seven to five. With Arizona looking to sweep the first place Phillies, Philadelphia would take the lead early in game three, never looking back to take the final game of the series. Cubbies In the second series of the week, the D-backs faced the Chicago Cubs as they looked to improve their even record with the Cubs. Game one of the four game series would be a blow out for the snakes as Arizona defeated Chicago 11 to 2. On Friday and Saturday, the D-backs dropped a couple of close games as they looked to even the score on Sunday. Arizona would prove to be successful in the final game of the series, edging the Cubs 4-3. The Diamondbacks will have Monday off as they prepare for the National League West leading Colorado Rockies. The three game series with the Rockies will wrap up on Thursday before the D-backs head to San Diego to face the Padres.

And, Calabria serves good Italian sausage. Spicy, husky cased meat sliced length-wise, pressed inside lightly amber, buttery semolina bread (made daily; locally), concealed under grilled white onions and green peppers, dusted with salt, pepper and oregano. It’s hefty and plainly satisfying. With a menu of sizable sandwiches (think just-toasted subs) for sit-down or takeaway lunch or dinner, Calabria also serves alternating daily pasta specials and limited sweet options for dessert. It’s Calabria’s sandwiches in particular, however, that have proven to be one of its biggest magnets. From the stuffed eggplant sandwich, sweet with roasted red peppers and marinated, fresh mozzarella; and, the hefty Calabrese sandwich, which, in addition to those roasted red peppers, holds up its heaping build of grilled chicken with salty prosciutto; the petite, casual neighborhood restaurant is a great pit-spot for solid Italian sandwiches. The Italian sausage is no exception.

Black Carl rarely plays downtown so while you’re looking at art and all the crazies on the street, stop by The Duce for the only funk, soul indie band in Arizona. Emma Pew, John Krause, Matt Noakes, Chad Leonard and Ian Woodward make up the funky bunch. The band has only been around since 2007 but they are by far one of the “bands you need to know” in the local scene right now. Pew’s powerful voice sings “Hussy” with aggression and a take-no-crap attitude. Amy Winehouse has nothing on her. The long time friends gained the name Black Carl from Krause’s roommate who said they were “the Pink Floyd of hip-hop.” After recording a small EP in Tucson, they’re full-length album Borrowed followed shortly after. They took a break from the Arizona heat to tour in support of their CD. They have plans to tour this year as well as give their fans the sophomore album, The Chariot, they’ve been waiting for. Until the anticipation of the CD’s release, the band has put two singles out on their bandcamp site. “Shine It Deep” starts off with Pew softly singing leading into a thundering funk bass line. The song jumps into a hypnotized beat that has Pew singing in the background, “I am the gun that you take into battle.” Their new sound has a TV-on-the-radio-type influence with a little bit of old school jazz. Last year, the band played “The Future of Phoenix” along with Dry River Yacht Club and Captain Squeegee;  Black Carl definitely lives up to that title. Black Carl and Gospel Claws play at 9 p.m. on May 6.

Justin Upton drove in the game-winning run, belting a homer to secure the game for the Diamondbacks. In game two of the series, the D-backs tried to stage a late game comeback, but lost to the Rockies by a score of four to six. In the third and final game of the series, Upton played the hero role once again as he drove in the game winning run with a walk-off single. The Diamondbacks took the series and the momentum to San Diego to face the Padres. Padres Power San Diego marked the beginning of the D-backs’ California road trip and the final series of the week. In the first game of the series, both teams took the game into extra innings where the D-backs would walk in the game winning run for the Padres in the eleventh inning. In the second game of the series, Daniel Hudson shut out the Padres as the D-backs won the game by a score of six to nothing. In the final game of the San Diego series, the Diamondbacks were unable to bounce back from an immediate four-run deficit. Although they scored a third run in the eighth inning, the D-backs were unable to regain the lead. Oh, What a Relief?! As the Diamondbacks prepare for the remainder of their California road trip, one item of note is that of the performance of the bullpen. It has been a while since Arizona fans have seen any production out of the Arizona bullpen, but the relief has been looking pretty solid, allowing very few earned runs to date.

In fact, I was so wrapped up in finding credible, authentic and interesting information in the Arizona Room that I completely missed several notable milestones: the one-year anniversary post, the 25th post, the 50th post and so on. It's interesting, going into the Arizona Room. You can't help but get sucked back in time, lost in the lingo of historic architectural studies and early neighborhood surveys. You learn of the generations that made their mark on Phoenix back then, just as so many in our generation are doing today. Around the 50th-post mark, DPJ wiki co-creator Jim McPherson took the time — unsolicited, as is usually the case — to map out each post in a Google map. For map geeks like us, it's eye candy, sure, but it also presents the entire blog archive right in front of the casual reader, marking the places that would otherwise blend into the map or whirl by on the side of the road. The map presents a lot of findings over the lifespan of this blog series, including:

• A look at many of Heritage Square's wonderfully preserved historic buildings;
• the Garfield patch between Roosevelt and Van Buren streets and 9th and 10th streets offered a glimpse of the streetcar lifestyle once prevalent in that neighborhood;
• several chunks of Evans Churchill still include beautiful, early century architecture;
• a commercial strip of 1st Street between Roosevelt and McKinley streets showed great architectural diversity through the first half of the 1900s;
• the south end of the Roosevelt neighborhood has some terrific historical finds;
• the central core of the city, between Van Buren Street, Jefferson Street, Central Avenue and 7th Avenue, includes perhaps the widest scope of architectural styles in the entire city (also some of the most ornate structures around);
• the neighborhoods around Lower Grand Avenue west to I-17 are sprinkled with hidden gems — some of the most stately single-family architecture in the city; and,
• the Alvarado neighborhood, the furthest northeast that the blog's coverage traveled, is the best neighborhood for unique mansions on tree-lined streets in Central Phoenix.

Though this blog series is ending, the pursuit of interesting, well-maintained architecture in Phoenix is only continuing to spark interest. I urge you to consult this map when exploring neighborhoods or architectural styles in the central corridor. These 60 posts should give insight into Phoenix's storied past. Let's keep spreading these stories to our neighbors. A special thank you goes out to Jim McPherson for creating (and helping to maintain!) this map!

Once you hear them, you’ll see how Lost Leaf would be the perfect place for them to play. Zachary Blizzard, Joshua Kane, Louis Santucci, Brittany Gale, Steven Medd and Travis Woodland all share the microphone along with play guitar, drums and the harp. The band actually started out as an acoustic duo between Blizzard and Kane and slowly added four more members. With so many vocalists, their sound is carried on a wave of harmonies and polyphonic voices. Their latest EP June was just released but has shown maturity from their full-length debut After All. After All carries a set of vocally-heavy songs with soft guitar and harp drowning in the background. June has enticing instrumental intros that lead into powerful vocals. Gale’s vocals and harp serve as a kind of surprise pop-up throughout the songs while other bands usually take advantage of only having one female by having her as lead vocalist. The men in the group definitely serve as the cannons while Gale and her harp are the clouds. Their songs have an orchestral touch with just the touch of harshness from the drums. How six members will fit in the small living room of the Lost Leaf will be interesting enough to see, but hearing this beautiful, eclectic band play for free no less? Even better. So why not? Grab a beer, sit down in everyone’s favorite house just off Roosevelt and watch a band that quite frankly may not be back in our state until they release another CD.

The kitties in question (all nine of them) are owned and loved by local cat blogger, Kate Benjamin. Armed with generous donations from her feline friends Ando, MacKenzie, Cymba, Theo, Dazzler, Flora, McKinley, Sherman and Ratso, Benjamin teamed up with local jewelry designer, Heidi Abrahamson, to repurpose cat hair in a fun, fashionable way. Benjamin says, “The jewelry was meant to catch people’s attention, either because it was really great or really gross . . . We meant to make it look like this was in a major magazine, like it was high-end couture.” Benjamin’s blog, Moderncat, is for “cat owners with a modern style”. And, from the links posted there, you can see that Benjamin and Moderncat are no strangers to national media attention. Over the blog’s four-year history, there have been a handful of mentions and brief blurbs in publications like The New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post. But that’s nothing compared to the attention Benjamin and Abrahamson are getting this week. On May 10th, stories on the fur ball beads ran on websites for New York Magazine, The New York Daily News, The Village Voice and MSNBC. “We’ve seen it on blogs in French, Russian and German and in languages we don’t even recognize,” Benjamin said. “Heidi just sent pictures to the Netherlands this morning.” Despite the hubbub, Benjamin has no plans to do anything different.

He served as managing editor for the past year and a half. Si, an excellent writer recruited by our original editor (and now returning, but more on that later) Tyler Hurst, was a natural replacement after Tyler originally left. Si's ability to translate the urban experience quickly become apparent, as he represented not only the DPJ, but was also the face of a younger Downtown Phoenix. From the Arizona Room Perhaps his most notable contribution was his most consistent, the From the Arizona Room blog series. Burton Barr's Arizona Room filled in many historical gaps. It is there that a true understanding – appreciation – can grow for the layers of history we build on today. Whatever developers and city planners come up with tomorrow, they are not working with a blank canvas but a gently used one. And the artistry of tomorrow will be that much more compelling because of that historic texture. Si committed to revealing a new side of these aged stories and shared something about himself in the process. He is a thoughtful writer and a resident who chooses not to passively live amongst these stories but is willing to dig deeper so he can appreciate the city in which he lives. No, not "see" Yes, it's pronounced like "sigh." After meeting Si, Si.com didn't carry exactly the same meaning and saying yes in Spanish now just sounds wrong. Thanks Si. See you around Downtown. ]]> 13423 0 0 0 5471 http://www.zrealestategroupaz.com/ 0 0 5472 http://www.dphxj.com 5471 12 5473 http://tdhurst.com 0 205 5483 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=749272541 0 164 5482 0 0 5470 0 0 5477 http://www.downtownphoenixjournal.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/05/17/2011-urban-land-institute-real-estate-summit-starts-today/ Tue, 17 May 2011 15:56:36 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13448 2011 Urban Land Institute Real Estate Summit is being held in our very own Downtown Phoenix. According to chairman of ULI Arizona, Steve Betts, “This is the first time in over two decades that we have had a national Urban Land Institute conference in Arizona.” Why is it important that this development conference is happening here of all places? Because, according to Betts, Arizona is at a crossroads and as we climb our way out of this recession, we have an opportunity to “reinvent ourselves as a community in terms of growth patterns and in terms of the kinds of jobs we produce.” The bottom line is that our old growth patterns don’t work anymore. And for Arizona to become a vibrant, attractive place to invest, live and work, we need to be having conversations about creating new patterns and partnerships. The conference starts on Wednesday and ends on Friday. Thursday will focus on Product Council Meetings, which are smaller confabs about specific development products such as multi-family housing, multi-use development and office development. Friday is the culmination of the conference and is open to non-ULI members, which means the community at large. People who attend Friday will have access to the closing general session of the ULI portion of the conference with an 8:30 a.m. keynote address by ASU President Michael Crow. Later that morning, there will be several panel discussions about adapting our cities to the future. And finally, the day will conclude with a presentation about leveraging public/private partnerships to facilitate quality development. There are two registration rates to attend on Friday, one is for people in the private sector, which is $450 for a non-ULI member but is only $95 for a non-ULI member in the public sector. Register here. We’re so excited to have this very significant event here in Downtown Phoenix that has the potential to redirect the future of development here in our city and state. We encourage those of you who can that aren’t ULI members, to attend on Friday as this promises to be a wonderful opportunity to hear new ideas and concepts that we can use to catapult Phoenix into a phenomenal future.]]> 13448 0 0 0 5495 http://bloomingrock.com/?p=2444 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/05/18/eat-words-giants-cold-brewed-iced-coffee/ Wed, 18 May 2011 15:13:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13465 traditional iced coffee has been my totality. Whether sized large, extra large, Trenta, or small in multiple cups (sometimes those servings really are never ample enough), I've happily surrendered to the frosty benefits of coffee more cold. Then, one year it happened: cold brewed iced coffee came into my life. In contrast to simply dumping hot-brewed coffee over hard ice, customary with iced coffee plucked from your corner Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks, coffee brewed patiently (often overnight) with room temperature water--without the strike of heat--makes for a cup less acerbic, more rounded in flavor and texture. On a good day? Think rogue quirks of cocoa and caramel. Naturally acidic, roasted, ground coffee brewed skillfully with the flush of hot water can rinse perfectly smooth--as a hot beverage. Jerked over ice, however, hot brewed coffee’s natural acidity spikes. Sugar or cream? With cold brewed, I’d argue: hardly needed. Once an anomaly locally, many forward-thinking coffee spots throughout the city now serve cold brewed iced coffee. One of my immortal loves, above most, has to be Giant Coffee, the crafty and carefully hip side-project of Downtown restauranteurs Matt and Ernie Pool (Matt’s Big Breakfast, Roosevelt Tavern). Sandwiched along 1st St., between the Phoenix Public Library’s main branch and the Phoenix Art Museum, Giant serves some of the best coffee and pastries (and atmosphere) in which to indulge in town. And, don’t even get me started on their menu’s biggest bully, the honey vanilla latte, a beverage so good it now transcends rational objectivity, rearing un-godly sentiments. Giant’s beans and distinguished pastries are all imported, sourced from respected outside purveyors. However, molded into the final package that is Giant Coffee, executed with the personality it so clearly wants you to feel, it’s a rival to all others. Tomorrow morning, I will be drinking my cold-brew. Hopefully from Giant Coffee.

While dropping all three games in close fashion, the Diamondbacks were able to keep the games close as they would lose by one run in each of the games. Errors would plague the team in their final game against the Giants as they would prepare to head back down south for the weekend to face the Los Angeles Dodgers. We Love L.A. Kind of... Okay, Not Really In L.A. the Diamondbacks made a valiant effort to comeback in the first game of the series as they were shut out by Clayton Kershaw and his season high 11 strikeouts. In the eighth and ninth innings, the D-backs would begin to stage a comeback, but would not be able to produce enough runs to win the game. The final two games of the road trip included much needed wins for the Diamondbacks as they were able to shut out the Dodgers on Saturday. Josh Collmenter had an outstanding performance as he throws six scoreless innings against the Dodgers, leading the D-backs to a one to nothing victory. In the final game of the series, D-backs' ace pitcher Ian Kennedy. The former USC pitcher would feel right at home as he earned the win with six solid innings of pitching while his team would contribute with a strong four-run second inning in the win. What's On Tap The D-backs begin the week four games back in the National League West as they prepare for a two game series against the San Diego Padres. With some wins against San Diego, the D-backs look to make some improvements in the standings. The Braves of Atlanta will then arrive in Phoenix to play at Chase Field for three games before the D-backs weekend series against the Minnesota Twins in Interleague play. With the Braves currently in third in their division and the Padres just about even with wins and losses, the Twins are the worst performing team in the American League. Garden Gnomes Storm Chase Field In other news, 15,000 garden gnomes will be storming Chase Field on Saturday while the D-backs offer their weekend promotion during the Twins and Diamondbacks series. Backtracking to Friday night, the Diamondbacks will have their Friday Night Fireworks show upon the completion of the game. With the Diamondbacks continuing to be one of the best values in baseball concessions and the weather still being relatively kind to Phoenix, it would be a wonderful weekend to get out to Chase Field for a ball game. For ticket information, see the D-backs website. Take the light rail to the next home game! Chase Field is convenient to the 3rd Street stations — Washington Street heading westbound and Jefferson Street heading eastbound.

It’s all made possible by the companies and the people who make donations and grants to Community Food Connections (CFC), the nonprofit organization that runs the Market. Bank of America Feeds Downtown Phoenix One of the largest contributors to CFC is the Bank of America Foundation. A recent grant of $25,000 brought the bank’s contribution total to $135,000 over the last five years. The funds support CFC's work with local micro-businesses (the market vendors and farmers) to combat hunger and promote healthy habits by making sure Downtowners have access to local, sustainable food. The grants have also covered some of the renovation costs for the building that houses the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar. Cindy Says Thanks “We are very grateful for Bank of America’s continued grant support and confidence in Community Food Connection’s mission.  We consider Bank of America to be a strong community partner that shares our belief in the importance of food sustainability through supporting Phoenix’s micro-businesses,” said Cindy Gentry, Executive Director, Community Food Connections.]]> 13549 0 0 0 5493 http://willnovak.com 0 0 5496 5493 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/05/23/dbacks-digest-team-heats-rolls-straight/ Mon, 23 May 2011 16:12:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13564 The Arizona Diamondbacks looked to bounce back after their west coast road trip, as they began their home stand against the San Diego Padres. After losing the first game, the D-backs would split the two game series before taking on the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta, boasting a pretty solid record, was expected to sweep Arizona, but there was one small technicality; the Braves left their broom and their game at home. The D-backs would win both games against the Braves as they prepared to face the Minnesota Twins in interleague play. One Sweep Deserves Another After the D-backs were able to sweep the short series against the Braves, the team would host the Twins. With several local Minnesota transplants, the Interleague games brought solid crowds to watch the close games as the two teams went head to head. In the first game of the series, the D-backs would be able to get their lead to four runs before the Twins would make a valiant effort to stage a comeback in the ninth inning. The D-backs would hold on to win the game by one run. On Saturday night, Kelly Johnson would hit his third career grand slam in what would prove to be the pivotal point in the game for the Diamondbacks. Arizona would go on to win the game by three runs. Sunday's pitching duel between Daniel Hudson and Francisco Liriano kept the game close. Juan Miranda would homer for the D-backs helping with the score as the D-backs take the game and J.J. Putz secured his 12th save of the season. Rock the Rockies The Diamondbacks road trip will begin with a double header against the Colorado Rockies. This series is of extreme importance as the D-backs are right on the heels of the Rockies for second place in the National League West. The second half of the week will be spent in Houston as the D-backs take on the Astros.

Joe and Transformers. Most boys his age would make up impromptu stories as they acted out imaginary battles against the villains from the shows they watched but Graham carried around a notebook and wrote detailed scripts for the toys to act out. “My friends didn’t really like playing G.I. Joe with me.” That passion for storytelling and imagination stayed with him throughout his life. Change To Overcome By 2009 he knew he was ready for a change and a new direction. In order to live up to his potential he had to face a real-life villain we call The Great Recession. With a mix of trepidation and courage he gave up his career in the restaurant industry and like a comic book superhero, he found he had the power to conquer his fears. For the past 2.5 years Graham dedicated the majority of his time writing the story and developing a strong cast of characters for his comic book Section 1138. This month the first book in a series of three was published by Phoenix-based Insomniac Graphics with books two and three scheduled for release this summer. Section 1138 will be for sale at Phoenix Comicon May 26-29. Trix are for kids, not comic books Graham studied English Literature before changing majors. The students in his English classes disapproved of his fascination with comics, but comics, he says, are a powerful medium that can tell any story and transcend generations if the basics of fiction are used - elements like compelling characters, plots, and good story telling. He acknowledges that comics are often considered childish but he’s quick to point out it was comic books that gave pop-culture superheroes like Spiderman and Superman, complex characters who have been remembered for decades. Yet superheroes are a dying breed; many of the newer comic books are dark and missing the elements Graham loved as kid. “I want to bring fun back to comics.” Part of the fun in Section 1138 is the references paying homage to his primary source of inspiration: the 1980s. The first issue is titled “Visionaries,” one character is referred to as a “real American hero,” even the number 1138 is a reference to George Lucas. Bringing it Together After the story was written, Graham needed an artist who could illustrate the world he had created. He posted an ad on Craigslist and connected with Hannah Friederichs, a rare female artist in a male-dominated industry. “She’s insanely talented and wanted to do this as much as I did. Hannah can express the emotions so well in the artwork that I can take out entire lines of dialogue.” In addition to writing and publishing his own series, Graham hosts workshops to teach kids the basics of good story telling and character development. He wants kids to be creative and learn the elements of style that will allow them to tell any type of story they can dream. “There has to be heart to the story and it has to be relatable. The main character in Section 1138 is a young kid who feels weird because he sees other worlds, that’s the extent of his power. Readers don’t relate to that literally, but everyone sees things differently and has felt like they don’t fit in because of it.” By witnessing the struggles and eventual triumph over adversity superheroes become relatable and inspirational, but not all superheroes wear tights and capes. Often they are just regular people who embrace their talents, face their fears and make a difference in the world. Phoenix Comicon graces the city this week beginning on Thursday, May 22 at the Phoenix Convention Center. Expect to see your favorite characters in the flesh as well as a handful of celebrities. ]]> 13580 0 0 0 5499 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/05/26/dale-earnhardt-jr-jr/ Fri, 27 May 2011 00:16:43 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13652 When I first heard about the band Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., I didn’t really understand them.

Their name is weird and members Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott look like they just walked off the set of Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show but once one of their songs flows out of the speakers, you’ll never turn back.

Although they are obviously named after Nascar fans' favorite driver, they are nowhere near country or music you’d listen to while watching a car go around and around in a circle.

They are simple and sweet.

Reigning from Detriot, this electra-pop band mixes soothing rock with harmonic vocals singing of love and relationships.

Their new single “Morning Thought” is more in your face electronic than their EP Horse Power.

A booming beat gives a backdrop to a psychedelic-floating-through-the-skies type trip. They have a touch of Freelance Whales with their cutesy lyrics and melodic voices.

It’s hard to believe they come from Detroit, home of bands like Insane Clown Posse and Kid Rock. Songs to download before their show: “Nothing but Our Love” and “Skeletons”

There’s plenty of time before the show which is on Wednesday, June 1.

This is a “Hey jump on this band before they come back and play Comerica” hint.

You never know, look at Arcade Fire and with them on the bill for this year’s Lollapalozza, I doubt this band will be staying very low key.

Show is $12 at the Rhythm Room.

Start your summer off with a fun, electro-pop band.

Fairly straightforward food-wise, the menu at Windsor reads in seconds: Sandwiches, salads, sides, done. The most in-depth study you’ll encounter arrives with the cocktail and spirits menu. And, Churn? Ice cream, easily portable baked confections and coffee. Deviating from the middle lane just enough, however, it’s hard not to like Windsor and Churn. For Windsor’s menu, think a heightened sense of pub grub. Food that’s allowed to be creative while still within a box of norms. From a perfectly appetizing pastrami reuben with sauerkraut, cheese and dressing, pressed between blonde slices of toasted caraway rye; a homey country vegetable chop salad, ample with vegetables and a buttermilk ranch sheen; and, the smorgasbord appetizer, a snack tray stacked with, among many things: salty kale crisps, hunks of smoked salmon, pickled vegetables, oversized dices of white cheddar, hummus and an herby take on tzatziki--worthy execution elevates otherwise common eats. A quirky standout on Windsor’s menu is the light halibut bánh mì (here more like a super-sized slider than having any relation to the Vietnamese classic), sweet with a sharp honey-soy glaze, spicy with a sambal mayonnaise, leavened with cilantro, cucumber and carrots. Again, elevated, but playing within that box. Side dishes get added focus at Windsor, as well. Yes, the mac and cheese is great. The kale salad is certainly a fine kale salad. But, the gold-ticket? Jo’s Church Potatoes. An angle between smothered hash browns and creamy scalloped potatoes, comforting or not, it is the type of dish that, if only for a second, makes you forget any possible calculations. Windsor also diverges off-road with its cocktail program, where it does its duty with a researched list of specialty spirits—whiskeys, in particular—and cocktails, reared with herbs, fresh juices and subtle but noticeable dedication. Try the No. 29: top-shelf gin, celery bitters, lime and Brown’s Cel-Rey soda. You couldn’t ask for anything else on a sweltering Phoenix afternoon. At home in a renovated Uptown retail building, circa the 1940s, both Windsor and Churn give good face without feeling like a window display. With exposed red-brick walls, overhead beams of wood, worn cement floors and regal accents of black and olive green throughout, Windsor is well-designed without the hard sell. A wall entirely tiled with old cassette mixtapes, an endowment from the local community during construction at the owners’ request, is a cheeky cue to the neighborhood in which it resides. Bright and white, tailored with swirled marble countertops and patches of vivid colors, Churn also makes for pleasing interior attributes. A beautiful, partially covered shared patio area also exists for days of mild weather. When talking food that comforts, it's easy to lose sight of the good, amongst a sea of schtick--or a determined quest for culinary fireworks. Rising above the glut, though respectably restrained from drawing too far outside the lines, we satisfyingly welcome Windsor and Churn.   [gallery order="DESC" columns="4" orderby="title"]   Windsor and Churn are located at 5223 N.

Givers is a five-piece band made up of a group of friends that were brought together closer for their love of music. Tiffany Lamson (lead singer and percussionist), Taylor Guarisco (vocals, guitar), Kirby Campbell (drummer), Josh LeBlanc (guitar) and Nick Stephan (flute, saxophone, keyboard) are the young members of the band. Their quirky cute story starts off with the five members improvising in several different bands around Lafayette. It wasn’t until they started jamming together that Givers was started to form. The band was invited to play a show, went through iTunes, found a song named “Givers” by Little Dragons to slap on the bill, and have been playing since. The band has been recognized as one of South by Southwest best rock acts, “Best of What’s Next,” “Band to Watch” and Must-Hear Artist of Sasquatch. So more red flags on why you should check out this band. They are full of energy, Afrobeat style clapping and synth-pop which is borderline Passion Pit/Animal Collective style. The group has released an EP in 2009 and is working on a full-length coming out early next week, In Light. Download their song “Up Up Up” to get you up up up in the morning or when you just want to dance. They’ll be playing at Trunk Space this Saturday for a whooping $12 at the door.  ]]> 13715 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/06/diamondbacks-half-game-back/ Mon, 06 Jun 2011 18:02:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13917 Paul Martinez leaving, we figured tryouts to find his replacement were in order. As such, this week is Kyle Maki's shot at making the big leagues. Join me in welcoming him to the fold, but don't get too attached. This minor leaguer needs to show his stuff before he earns his spot on our roster.) Just a bit short The Diamondbacks came up short in their attempt to win a sixth consecutive series when the Washington Nationals rallied to win a thriller on Sunday afternoon. The D-backs should be a little disappointed after taking a split at home against the last-place Nationals, but overall the team is playing well and continuing to exceed expectations. Get back Despite leading the league in come-from-behind victories, it didn’t seem like the D-backs would be able to erase a three-run deficit against a solid closer in Drew Storen. Once again the D-backs dug deep and found a way to plate three runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. They were unable to complete the comeback this time around as the Nationals recaptured the lead in the 11th and held on for a 9-4 victory. Adversarial actions It would have been nice for the D-backs to find a way to win the game late and end the week in 1st place, but there are a lot of positives that can be taken from this game that could prove valuable as the season goes on. The D-backs comeback attempt came without the services of manager Kirk Gibson who was ejected in the eighth inning. Gibson was ejected automatically when reliever Esmerling Vasquez hit the Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa with a pitch. Both benches had been warned earlier in the game after players from both teams had already been hit with pitches. Let it ride It’s encouraging to see that in the face of adversity, the D-backs do not give up and are willing to step up to protect a teammate. The D-backs are already a close unit, but an added shot of camaraderie never hurts. It will be interesting to see how the D-backs respond during their upcoming road trip starting Tuesday in Pittsburgh. If they can have another successful road trip, they’ll be in a position to regain the first place spot when thy face off at home against the Giants June 14-16. ]]> 13917 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/06/paul-martinez-moves/ Mon, 06 Jun 2011 17:26:33 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=13920 Not all baseball players retire with dignity.

Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae are playing together for the “Hooligans in Wondaland” tour after playing side-by-side at the Grammys earlier this year. Bruno Mars has those hits you’d love to hate like “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade” that stay stuck in your head until the end of the day. Although it seems like Mars came out of nowhere, he has been producing songs for artists such as Travie McCoy (yes that song you heard every time the radio came on “Billionaire”), Adam Levine and Brandy. It wasn’t until two years ago that he was signed onto Atlantic Records and came out with Doo-Wops & Hooligans. His producer roots brought his album up the charts and his single “Just the Way You Are” all over the airwaves. His R&B partner on this tour has a staircase-type career building experience too. Janelle Monae is an up-and-coming R&B funk star. After playing South by Southwest and winning a Grammy along with other awards, Monae started rising on music magazine’s radar and landed a spot on Bad Boy Records. Her concept album The ArchAndriod (Suites I and II) came out last year surprising everyone with her alter-ego story coming to life in her songs accompanied by deep beats, soul and dance pop rhythms. She announced that she plans on making videos and a comic book to accompany the album. Be prepared to watch the tuxedo-wearing singer bring her afro-pop sound alive and thriving on stage. Both will play Wednesday, June 15 at Comerica Theatre. Ticket s range from $28 to $35.      ]]> 14126 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/09/david-leibowitz-dpj-mag-guest-editor/ Thu, 09 Jun 2011 21:42:16 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14135 David Leibowitz. David was a perfect person to serve as our first-ever guest editor. Smart, quick wit and yep, mayyybe a little cocky. But apparently we like that sort of thing. Mr. Downtown? More importantly, he knows Downtown. Sure, he works with the Mayor, but his knowledge of this area didn't come to him in the past year. Like many media and PR luminaries in the Valley, he has spent real time here. Residents tend to think they have the leg up on people who just work here. Hang out with us Well, that's pretty much true. But, we readily acknowledge that people who only work here spend most of their time here, so the impressions made are important to the success of our Downtown. After all, we want them to spend MORE time here. "Two of my big passions in life are writing and Downtown Phoenix. I'm excited to be able to put the two of them together and help the Downtown Phoenix Journal do some fun journalism," Leibowitz said. "Between the Mayor's race and the All-Star Game, this is going to be one heckuva summer." Fun journalism? Yep, that's us. We love Downtown and we love infusing DPJ with that spirit. Thanks David. Here's to a Greater Downtown!]]> 14135 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/10/downtowncentric-discussion-5-mayoral-candidates/ Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:30:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14147 Downtown Voices Coalition hosted its first Downtown Mayor's Forum at the Lexington Hotel on Thursday night. Five mayoral candidates, Wes Gullett, Jennifer Wright, Greg Stanton, Peggy Neely and Claude Mattox took questions from the downtown community that focused on downtown issues and the needs and expectations of downtown residents. Attendees filled the conference room and spilled over into the bar where audio from the discussion was piped in. Arizona Republic reporter Richard Ruelas moderated the discussion. Write-in candidate Thane Eichenauer did not participate in the discussion but was given two minutes to speak about his campaign. A second write-in candidate, Alex Malkoon, announced he was dropping out of the race. The five participating candidates answered questions from the audience ranging from downtown housing issues, light rail, infill, historic preservation, and even where they take out-of-town visitors to show off the heart and soul of Phoenix. (Mrs. White's and Lolo's were mentioned.) [caption id="attachment_14153" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Image courtesy Downtown Voices"][/caption]Getting Hot in Here As would be expected the candidates had differing opinions about the role of government, the purpose and function of downtown, and city planning. The discussion heated up and became uncomfortable when Jennifer Wright goaded Councilman Claude Mattox into answering why he had not attended a budget meeting this week. He forcefully replied he had been at a funeral for a soldier from his district. After a few moments of tense back and forth between the two candidates, the discussion moved forward. One particularly revealing question came when candidates were asked about their use of light rail. Wright said she had not once been on the light rail, Mattox, Gullet and Neely all said they had used the light rail in the past few months, while Stanton answered that he had taken the light rail to the debate. Downtown Voices All the candidates agreed that downtown needed more shade and lots of it if downtown was to become more pedestrian friendly and walkable. Words like "vibrant" and "24/7 community" were used but without much explanation as to how that is achieved other than the standard answers of "supporting small business" and "better schools." Stanton said historic preservation "works miracles" and acknowledged downtown as a neighborhood that should be treated as such. Wright disagreed and said that historic preservation stifles community development. She was not able to cite any recent historic preservation or adaptive reuse project. Downtown Voices Coalition videotaped the Downtown Mayor's Forum and will post to YouTube. If you were not able to attend this event, don't worry. The Phoenix Community Alliance and the Downtown Phoenix Journal will be hosting another debate Monday night from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the College of Nursing.

Unions have a place, the failure is with the management. #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: I don't have any union support and I have more signs than Mattox and Stanton. BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan: hates the unions! Calls out Mattox and Stanton's union support. BloomingRock #phxforum Wright: Police and fire unions aren't necessarily making us safer. dtphxjournal Stanton: Police/fire unions do more than labor management. They focus on the safety of their members. #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Neely on police and firefighter unions: they are vital we need a balanced approach BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Mattox: agrees with Gullett, resents being called a union totie. Says no one cares about unions when they need a cop. BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Neely on police and firefighter unions: they are vital we need a balanced approach. Q10: Are police and fire fighter unions a positive element in city government? BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: we have to get a grip on our costs, do it with labor negotiations, both sides, including employees have to give BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan: we can't have our unions dictate what our budget is, we need to address our city managers position.

BloomingRock #phxforum Stanton: arts and smart economic dev go hand in hand. Outside investors look for a vibrant arts and culture community. BloomingRock #phxforum Mattox: art makes a city more attractive, firmly supports the arts. They are underfunded. Explained percent for the arts. BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: public art should not be funded through general fund (yikes!) BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan on city support of the arts: she supported local artists at her restaurant. Not in favor of public art!!! BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: we need a more robust public art program to create real art investment like Denver. BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Neely: we have shortfall in being able to maintain our arts program. Touted MIM. Q7: Do you support city funding of arts and cultural activities in the City of Phoenix? If so, what is your opinion of the current rate of contribution? If no, how do you propose these activities be supported here in Phoenix? exit2lef Lots of talk about shade in #dtphx, but shade happens naturally with dense urban development. Doesn't need so much special effort. #phxforum PhxDowntowner‎ @StantonforMayor is the only #phxmayor candidate that mentioned street-level design in the walkability question #phxforum ‎ rhondabannard‎ Walkability important for downtown, shade too. #phxforum Why do we not folo the urban form plan? AndrewKnoc How does Cityscape reflect good urban design?! #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Stanton: it's a false choice between economic dev and a dense DT. Walkability bikeability are good for economic dev PhxDowntowner interestingly, Neely seems to understand urban parking policy at least a little bit #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Neely: the DT Urban Form does not have lots of parking, but we don't need another parking garage (agreed!) BloomingRock #phxforum Mattox: we need shade for walkability but the DT urban form code is a function of the economy BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: how do we pay for the implementation of the DT Urban Form code? Right now we can't do it. PhxDowntowner Brennan admits to knowing nothing of the Urban Form Code #phxforum and proves she knows nothing about urban dynamics when discussing parking BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan not familiar with the DT Form Code. Agrees with Wright, plenty of parking, we need more plazas. BloomingRock #phxforum Wright on Urban Form and parking: we have plenty of parking, not enough walkability (changing her tune a bit) ‎ BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Neely: the DT Urban Form is a great plan. We Do not drive dev, but we can have guidelines Q6: What is your opinion of the Urban Form Code Project and what policies will you enact to balance parking demand in the Downtown Core with the Urban Plan's goals of a walkable, sustainable downtown? PhxDowntowner‎ Brennan & Neely say we need to take inventory of our vacant City-owned land. um, i can tell you where all of it is in #dtphx... #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Mattox: we need a true urban planner to be able to mix residential with biz. House flippers suck... BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: agrees on need for inventory. We can't tear down existing bldgs (here here!) we need public private partnerships BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan: we need a real property inventory, we don't have the money to operate what we have. Sell what we don't need phxcommal Wright: Make sure we are not driving the businesses to outlying cities. #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Wright: we need to make sure property taxes are low for existing spaces, let's stop building new (good point) BloomingRock #phxforum Stanton: we need to be smart about selling off the vacant land Q5: The City has hundreds of parcels of land under City ownership and control – in downtown and throughout the city limits. How can the City look at a better approach to dispose of property holdings to encourage development and to eliminate the City as a vacant land owner in these neighborhoods? BloomingRock #phxforum Wright: holding up magazine says housing doesn't bring people DT, jobs do. exit2lef Interesting to hear Stanton say Midtown high-rise district should not have been allowed long ago due to siphoning effect on #dtphx #phxforum BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Stanton: we need to have smart land use policy in the rest of the city to have a strong DT. City North was a bad thing for DT! BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan: let's learn from Europe, we need plazas and affordable housing BloomingRock #phxforum Neely on housing and job creation in the central city: we need to get businesses to help with TOD, we need multiple use dev PhxDowntowner‎ Brennan gives confusing answer that shows she doesn't understand just how dynamic urban design & environments are #phxforum! Q4: The City and State have historically relied on single family home construction as its primary economic engine. Given the national and local economic climate, what measures or specific plans can you talk about tonight that would focus on housing and job creation in the central city? BloomingRock #phxforum Brennan: we need education on the importance of buying locally! Decrease tax burden, take away union privileges ‎ BloomingRock‎ #phxforum Wright: small biz is the life blood of our country. Right now Phx is NOT small biz friendly ‎ dtphxjournal Neely: PHX needs to change the procurement process to include local business. #phxforum phxcommal Neely, PHX needs all businesses, lrg, med, & small. Local business is able to strive if the urban form code is moved forward. #phxforum phxcommal Mattox prefers local business over chains. Says City of Phoenix did a dismal job of using local business. #phxforum dtphxjournal Stanton: @localfirstaz is right. Focus on local business. #phxforum Q3: How do you intend to support and encourage small business? samuelisaac As someone familiar with the process, I can attest that @wesgullett is right about the dire need to update the plan. #phxforum prhondabannard‎ Regional approach needed...ok why haven't you done it while on council? #phxforum race for mayor of #Phoenix ‎ phxcommal Neely: #phoenix must compete against other regional cities. #phxforum ‎ JeremyBrowning‎ #Phxforum is better than #CNNDebate AndrewKnoc but how, mr. mattox, do we "attract businesses?" #phxforum that's not a plan. BloomingRock: #phxforum Mattox on economic dev: reach out to existing biz to retain them. Then Go out and attract new biz. ‎ phxcommal‎ Gullett: We need a strategic plan update. #phxforum Q2: How important are City Economic Development strategies? And what are yours? BloomingRock #phxforum Wright: city is not well managed. (holding up the budget) we need a system for manager to be held accountable BloomingRock #phxforum Stanton: the city is a strong institution but is not perfect, we need more transparency. For strong labor agreements. AndrewKnoc but how, mr. mattox, do we "attract businesses?" #phxforum that's not a plan. exit2lef Neely is "very supportive" of the city manager form of government, but I wonder if PHX has outgrown that & needs a stronger mayor. #phxforum BloomingRock #phxforum Neely: loves the city manager form of govt. We can't sustain our budget. We can't continue to borrow. BloomingRock #phxforum Mattox: yes the city is well managed. We have great employees. We have to respect existing labor agreements. BloomingRock #phxforum Gullett: City of Phx has strong management but has some serious problems. Need more transparency, hates the water rate increase. BloomingRock #phxforum is the city of Phx well managed? Brennan: No! Food tax sucks. We need to address the union issues. AndrewKnoc when do contract negotiations w/ the union begin, mr. mattox? what does "the near future" mean? #phxforum samuelisaac RT @newantt: My stream is full of GOP #CNNdebate and #phxforum tweets... << Love it! #civicparticipationFTW PhxDowntowner Brennan is asked if #phx is well managed. She answers question solely on budget instead. #phxforum #avoidingthequestion Q1: Is the City of Phoenix well-managed – both fiscally and from a personnel standpoint? phxcommal Stanton says he is a "passionate advocate" for downtown. #phxforum AndrewKnoc stanton is first to mention CityNorth. #phxforum rhondabannard Downtown should be the heartbeat of this city, Neely says.

It means the thread that binds. And it’s a word that one Downtown yoga studio is taking literally. SuTRA Midtown, which opened its doors and innovative business practices in March 2009, fuses contemporary takes on traditional fitness techniques with a touch of Coronado culture in its efforts to remind the masses “it can be hip to be healthy.” Set in what once was an abandoned factory along Seventh Street between Thomas and McDowell roads, SuTRA Midtown offers an array of exercise classes from yoga, Pilates and ballet barre to a number of sessions for kiddies and moms-to-be. The studio also hosts a range of neighborhood events, rotating art exhibits, and is home to the Chop Shop Café, offering servings of locally roasted coffee, a cornucopia of world teas and an assortment of appetizing treats. A fully family-owned-and-operated facility – co-owners Matt and Rebecca Fritz have four children together – SuTRA Midtown represents the unyielding will and resolve of two eager entrepreneurs and a community that turns out in droves to support them. With backgrounds in the creative arts and real estate development, the couple said they waged everything in the midst of the worst economy in generations to open up their neighborhood business. While the Great Recession proved challenging for an upstart undertaking, the Fritz family passion for healthy bodies, healthy minds and a healthy community kept them going. “We’ve been living in this neighborhood for nine years and it got to the point where we wanted to do something in our own ’hood. We wanted to be that thread that binds and lets people be healthy,” Matt said. “Unfortunately, we opened our doors right before the rug of the economy got pulled out from beneath all of Phoenix. That was difficult." But with a mixture of affordable classes, a positive spirit, and a unique and upbeat business approach, the couple’s endeavor appears to be paying off. “I think a lot of people were hurting, but we offered a lot of classes [30-40 a week] to help people get by,” Matt said. “We’ve been very fortunate and have been fully embraced by Central Phoenix, the residents of our neighborhood and the residents of Downtown,” he said. “It’s been a baby-step process, but we’ve definitely been doing wonderfully.” That baby-step process has earned the studio not only the support of the community, but multiple awards, as well. SuTRA Midtown been named best in the Valley on more than one occasion. And from a purely selfish viewpoint, the couple’s venture has completely been worth it, they said. “Everything we love we put into this building; that’s the whole reason we went into this. It’s really just our own lifestyle that we put into this space,” Matt said. “Even after maternity leave, Rebecca comes back to work and on the first day back says, ‘Oh, God, I love this place.’” And it’s a place the Fritzes are hoping more and more will love, too.

These two female vocalists come from very different backgrounds, but together make amazing raw folk music or booming, bass heavy electronic rock. When Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn moved from Olympia, Wash. to San Francisco, she wasn’t looking for a musical partner but stumbled on the quirky, cute Thao Nguyen. While Mirah provides a softer, melodic sound, Nguyen adds the electric twist. Both write and take turns with instruments such as guitar, drums, knee slaps and hand claps. If you want a taste of their acoustic, indie sound, listen to “Teeth” off their self-titled record. It starts off with slow hand clapping that picks up and stays in the background of the song while vocals come in with guitar to match the rhythm. The chorus is laced with hymns and louder hand clapping with just that extra slap but with words, “this is the last time I’ll drag myself from your bed.” Craving something with heavy beats and synth? “Eleven” is your track. This song carries more of the Thao-edge with sirens, electric piano and echoing vocals screaming “la la la.” This pair definitely shows that just because you write, play differently doesn’t mean that there can’t be a meeting point. So dance to the beats and chill back with a drink for the laidback sound at the Rhythm Room on Monday.

Sometimes marinated and seasoned, sometimes barely touched by oil and salt before hitting the griddle’s singe or charcoal’s sear, the often brutally chopped, well-done beef (usually skirt steak) is comfortably known for it’s unmistakable, mildly resisting character. There are several fantastic outposts for great carne asada throughout Phoenix. And of those, it’s definitely no secret that America’s Taco Shop, the growing local enterprise now with two locations in central Phoenix alone, serves a nearly pitch-perfect example of the savory, versatile Mexican staple. Whether jammed inside tacos, burritos, or unapologetic quesadillas, America’s knows well how to target and satisfy straightforward, tried-and-true cravings. Beyond their regular menu items, one of my perennial loves at America’s is the Vampiro. Sinister tag-name aside, the Vampiro is a tostada with unassuming gusto. A small, crunchy corn tortilla, evenly pressed with layers of salty chopped carne asada, melted jack cheese, caramelized onions, guacamole, and finely shaved, crisp iceberg lettuce. Flick a kiss of hot sauce on top, maybe complement its glory with a crowning pour of their bright housemade salsa, or, who knows, maybe amend your order to add an aguas fresca or two, and there you have it: you’re already midway through a worthy, edible late-afternoon recharge. [gallery order="DESC" columns="4" orderby="title"] America’s Taco Shop is located at 2041 N. 7th St. in Coronado (602.682.5627), and at 4447 N. 7th Ave. in Melrose (602.515.0856).  ]]> 14246 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/20/dbacks-digest-draft-selection-viral/ Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:00:17 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14307 (More from farmhand Kyle Maki.) Two of seven In the 2011 MLB draft the Arizona Diamondbacks had two of the first seven picks of the draft, a luxury that no other franchise has experienced. While we could certainly lament the circumstances that landed them there, there's no doubt that two high picks give the D-backs an excellent chance to land a couple of prospects worth getting excited about. The D-backs used the picks on a pair of young starting pitchers: No. 3 - Trevor Bauer, UCLA No. 7 - Archie Bradley, Broken Arrow High School Give them time Only time will tell if the D-backs used their selections wisely, but one thing we know for sure; the selection of Bauer will not go unnoticed. His numbers this season rival some of the best pitching stats seen in recent years. Despite his impressive numbers, Bauer may be better known for his on-field antics than his abilities. Hippity hoppity Prior to the draft there was a lot of discussion about Bauer’s routines and if this type of in-your-face conduct would be accepted in the big leagues. Video of Bauer’s controversial mound routine, which went viral on YouTube, shows Bauer starting from the back of the mound and doing a curl hop onto the rubber and then rifling the ball home to the catcher, each time he takes the mound. Time for the big leagues This type of individual display may be entertaining to watch in a college game, but not likely tolerated by major league purists. Regardless of whether Bauer alters his warmup routine, he should quickly become a familiar face to D-back fans for his pitches that count. ]]> 14307 0 0 0 5589 http://baseballnewshound.com 0 0 5591 http://tdhurst.com 5589 205 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/22/frances-vintage-grows-studio/ Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:01:02 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14337 Frances Celebrates Success In the last five years, Frances Vintage has found a secure home in the hearts, minds and closets of many a fashionista in Central Phoenix. It’s an eclectic little store that lives at Camelback and Central between Stinkweeds and Halo Precision Piercing and is home to funky accessories, clothes and gifts for women, men and kids. While other indie boutiques around town shuttered their doors during the Great Recession, Frances Vintage thrived to the point of expansion. Owner Georganne Bryant says, “We have such a loyal customer following from lots of local residents . . . They want us to be here and they get shopping local. And, we do what we can to keep things fresh for them.” Moving on Up (or Down the Way) One way they are keeping it fresh is by opening Frances Studio a few doors down in the former location of Red Hot Robot.  The Studio space has been chopped in half with one side serving as offices and the other featuring an expanded selection of women’s shoe and accessories. “But it could become anything in the future,” Georganne says. “The Studio will be different from time to time, like a pop up shop with no set style of merchandise. We’ll experiment. Maybe we’ll have a Christmas shop at the holidays?” Frances Studio will also serve as a gallery of sorts and feature local art. Currently on display is a series of ‘quilts’ by Janet de Berge Lange that are fashioned from old zinc cans and adorned with power words spelled with letters salvaged from old signs. Exactly what kind of accessories will steal your heart and your cash at Frances Studio? Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights: For Your Feets Adorable French tennies by Bensimon, plenty of Havaianas flip flops, Seychelles dress shoes and to-die-for vintage inspired pumps by Remix. (Note: this is the only place in the Valley you can get Bensimon or Remix!) For Your Stuff Butter soft saddle and hobo bags by Tano and Directional Motivation, a rainbow of clutches by Good Life and earthy totes from India (this is not a designer, it's a country in Asia). For Fun Socially conscious bracelets by Feed, studded leather cuffs by Linea Pelle and an array of trendy pendants by Regina Spina.

Dear Open Market Every time I go to the open market, I am filled with incredible joy and positivity. This place has a magic about it that is hard to ignore. People here come from all over to share their foods and talents with nearby residents. And the food is amazing! Fruits and vegetables of all kinds, naturally grown and ready to enjoy, entice the viewer with their vibrant colors. The fragrance of fresh breads and sauces fill the air and are free to sample, all served by smiling faces of the food artisans. People who carve, mold, bead, weave, stamp, weld, and whittle openly share their wonderful stories and designs.

THIS is community.

You look around and you can see it: countless expressions of delight, engaging conversations, the darting, dazzled eyes of strolling citizens soaking up the experience. You close your eyes and you can hear it: healing laughter, charming music, bubbling chatter, smells of cheeses and fragrant flowers, the sounds of pleading children, prying their parents away from the vendors to pay attention to puppies happily roaming next to their owners. You breathe and you can feel it: Love. People love being here. Vendors love sharing their products. Customers love experiencing the creative collections before them. This is the spirit of the market and it is contagious. It fills you up with the greatest sense of contentment, knowing that THIS is your city, and you have an active part of it. These people are your neighbors, your friends. You begin to care about them, wanting to support their efforts and have a role in their success. A natural evolution of giving and receiving starts to take place. You realize these people aren't simply store merchants. They are family. You build a relationship with them, a network of community. And suddenly, the relationships form a life of its own. Community is born. This is how life was intended to be: to live and do that which you love and to share that love with others, allowing it to flow back from whence it came.

Weekend shows are where it’s at in downtown. Friday line-up: Half-Breed Lovers is a sappy love song playing indie band from El Paso, Texas. They combine fast guitar with slow drum and hypnotizing female and male vocals to make their desert rock come alive. Song to listen to before the show: “Coupon” Into more of Bar Smith’s atmosphere with dancing, lots of people and drinks? The Gentlemen Ether will be bringing their 90s-type hip hop beat mixed with grudge bands like Nirvana in their songs. The two man crew from Tempe is not only armed with beats but with guitar and amps. Standard cover for Bar Smith applies for the show. Hear one of their songs “Whoompsh” To wrap up the weekend, why not wind down with singer songwriter Peter Case? Case’s career started in the late 70s but decided to go solo in the late 80s playing everything from acoustic guitar to electronic wave pop. His songs have been featured in movies and have graced the nominations list at the Grammys. With 14 albums released, his set is sure to display his many different works of music and the Rhythm Room is the perfect place to sit down and listen to the music. The show is 21 and older and $20. To hear a great acoustic song, listen to “Million Dollars Bail.” No excuses to sit home this weekend!]]> 14410 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/27/dbacks-digest-long-lonely-road/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 18:54:14 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14435 Kyle Maki is back at it with his third shot at earning a spot on our team. What do you think of him so far? Should we sign him?) Home away from home The Arizona Diamondbacks are in the midst of a grueling stretch where 18 of 21 games are away from Chase Field. A stretch like this has the potential to derail a solid start to the season, so if the D-backs want to stay in the NL West race, they need to maintain a respectable record leading into the All Star break. The D-backs have fortunately demonstrated an ability to win on the road this season and extended their current road winning streak to seven games before dropping the last two games against the Detroit Tigers. D-backs Ballot Worthiness The Diamondbacks are not led by a cast of superstars. The D-backs formula for winning is solid pitching and outworking the opponent. Manager Kirk Gibson has the team recommitted to hustling this season. The D-backs have a few All-Star worthy players and a handful of others that have the potential to be there one day. Justin Upton J-Up is one of the few stars on the team. He hasn't quite schemed superstar status yet, but experts around the league know he has the potential to be one of the great hitters in the game. Just last week Upton was named the National League Player of the Week. Although Upton has shown improvement at the plate, his numbers still don’t stack up against the best outfielders in a very crowded pool in the National League. Upton currently ranks 11th in All Star voting amongst NL outfielders. Ian Kennedy Ian Kennedy (I-K?) may not get national recognition, but he deserves a tremendous amount of credit locally for his performance thus far in 2011. In a relatively short period of time, Ian Kennedy has turned into that true ace that the D-backs desperately needed. Kennedy appears to be getting stronger and more dominant as the season progresses. He pitches deep into games and gives the D-backs and chance to win just about every time he steps on the mound. Who do you want to see? D-back fans need to fill out the online ballot and vote for their favorite players. Only the fans can decide who will be representing the American and National League in the All Star game Tuesday, July 12, at Chase Field. The D-backs need the support of their hometown fans.

Such is a typical day of work for the well-experienced professional who’s served as owner and director of Par Exsalonce CityScape Salon and Spa since it opened last August. With a mission to provide modern, edgy hairstyles and a plethora of services ranging from waxing, manicures, pedicures and massages, Par Exsalonce CityScape’s popularity has been rising as quickly as Phoenix’s scorching summer temperatures.

“Every month gets better and better,” Gonzales said. “For some reason, we’ve been seeing a spike in customers the last couple of weeks. I don’t know if people are just out and about more or what it is, but we’ve been getting busier and busier.”

Gonzales said being situated in a chic and urban atmosphere such as the new CityScape project is likely a contributing factor for mounting growth.

“There’s nothing else like this in Downtown Phoenix right now. It almost feels like you’re in a different city,” Gonzales said. “With the mix of restaurants and shopping, I think the energy of the area is changing. You never really got that feeling before. We’re really thrown into the mix of things.”

While location plays a significant role in the salon’s growing success, name recognition, brand, unmatched creativity and unparalleled customer service all account for a rise in business, Gonzales said.

“Customer service is huge. It’s something our Scottsdale location thrives and excels on, and it’s really something we bring here,” Gonzales said. “Our motto is to make sure everyone feels like Madonna. Just that extra touch of talking to our customers, being friendly, catering to them and giving them tips and proper recommendations will set ourselves apart in making sure people feel special.”

Education for Par Exsalonce’s commission-based stylists and beauticians is also part of the overall experience, Gonzales said. Through ongoing training and a push for creativity, his staff is able to stay on top of the hottest trends, products and services. “We’re about being a team here and making sure we’re all on board working as a single entity with meeting customer needs,” Gonzales said. And when it comes to the summer months, there are plenty of unique needs that need to be met, he said.

“As far as Arizona is concerned, it’s all about moisture and protecting your skin,” Gonzales said. “People like to be outside, whether it’s swimming or sun-tanning or being out and about. Because of that, we stress the importance of sun block and sun-tanning products.”

For skin care, Gonzales said he recommends an array of moisturizers and skin kits available from the Dermalogica line and sold at Par Exsalonce CityScape.

“As far as hair is concerned, it’s about making sure you take proactive measures so your hair doesn’t dry or turn green,” Gonzales said.

Par Exsalonce’s signature Desert Hydration line will provide “the correct moisture and protein” for taking care of one’s hair, he said. Though Par Exsalonce CityScape is considered to be an upscale beauty salon, prices for products and services can be afforded by anyone from corporate executives to college students, Gonzales said. Haircuts start at $45, and Arizona State University students receive a 20 percent discount when they bring in their student identification. “We have created a destination in Downtown Phoenix which is like none of the others,” Gonzales said. “This is a place that promotes and allows people to feel comfortable, a place where we can educate customers on the current trends and products available out there,” he said. “Our knowledge on what is going to be good for them as a person, from massage to nail to skin to hair, is going to create an environment that will keep people coming back for more – or, if they haven’t been, to hopefully check us out for the first of many times.” Frank Morris can be reached by email at fjmorris@gmail.com [gallery] ]]> 14445 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/01/new-melrose-festival-to-celebrate-heat-give-back/ Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:41:15 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14450 A chili and salsa festival during July in Phoenix! The inaugural Hotter Than July Chili Cook-Off and Salsa Fest is coming to the Melrose District in Downtown Phoenix, Sunday, July 10. Copper Star Coffee, Wag N’ Wash Healthy Pet Center, ONE Community and Lucky 15 Creative invite Valley residents to sample and judge a variety of locally-made chili and salsas, with all proceeds benefiting the Gabriel’s Angels pet therapy program. How it Started About five years ago in the Melrose District, both Copper Star Coffee and Wag N’ Wash were born. Ever since, they have shared an intersection, many of the same customers and the idea to eventually host a block party, says Bill Sandweg, owner of Copper Star Coffee and HTJ committee member. Around two months ago, the companies finally decided to put the block party idea into action. However, instead of planning the festival for a time of year when Phoenix is experiencing only double-digit temperatures, they decided to “embrace the heat” and schedule it during the summer when fewer events would be happening, Sandweg says. “We want to show that there is a downtown vibrance and, frankly, fun things to do in CenPho even when the temperature goes up,” says Meghan Olesen, Melrose District liaison and HTJ committee member. Giving Back The event committee will be donating all proceeds to the Arizona-based Gabriel’s Angels organization, which aims to deliver healing pet therapy to abused, neglected and at-risk children in hopes of instilling in them a sense of well-being, safety and happiness, according to its website. The long term goal of Gabriel's Angels is to help children learn core social skills that will prevent them from continuing the cycle of violence as adults. Steve Strauss, co-owner of the Wag N’ Wash Healthy Pet Center and HTJ committee member, says he wanted the festival to have a pet component and that Gabriel’s Angels is an organization the committee is passionate about. It also fits with the event’s family-friendly theme, he adds. Gabriel’s Angels currently provides free pet therapy services to over 100 agencies and serves 13,000 children annually through nearly 150 pet therapy teams, the website states. The teams, which usually consist of a volunteer and his or her companion dog, visit the children on a regular schedule to build trust, empathy and respect. The cost to support one team is $2,500 per year. Team Up Hotter Than July is still seeking local residents, companies, restaurants and other organizations to form teams of five people or less to participate in this year’s event. The registration fee is $100 per team, per entry. To celebrate Downtown Phoenix’s diversity, the committee encourages a wide range of flavors and ingredients. Event patrons will cast their votes, and prize ribbons, hand-crafted by local artists, will be awarded in five categories for both chili and salsa. “Embrace the Heat” Lather up your sunscreen, slip on your sandals and bring your appetite for a day of food, music and summer fun, downtown Phoenix style. “What better way to embrace the heat than a salsa and chili fest?” Sandweg says. “If it’s going to be hot, let’s make it real hot.”

We’ve all heard that saying before but it feels like artists are now uping the ante when it comes to what venues they play. Throughout this year, Downtown Phoenix saw bands such as Arcade Fire play huge stages. Now, there are a few others hitting the big times during July and August. Comerica Theatre and US Airways Center are hosting quite the collection of solo artists and bands starting off with the reality show that somehow still captivates a huge audience. American Idol Live featuring winner Scotty McCreery, runner-up Lauren Alaina and nine other contestants will be playing July 17. If your guilty pleasure is American Idol, now you can watch it live and in person in Downtown Phoenix instead of watching it from your living room. After playing the Arizona State Fair last year and sharing the Grammy stage with Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers, Mr. Bob Dylan is gracing our fair city with another performance. This time at a much smaller venue. He plays July 18 at Comerica Theatre. Imagine hearing “Lay Lady Lay,” “All Along the Watchtower,” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” live and only a few rows back or better yet front and center? Pure insanity?! DPJ thinks not. A Valley resident will take a break from his local winery to walk on stage with his band mates. A Perfect Circle is playing Comerica Theatre on July 25. Last time they performed, it was at Marquee Theatre in Tempe. Now, they are filling a venue three times that size. After being on hiatus for six years, A Perfect Circle decided to release new songs and tour starting off in Arizona with a three- day Marquee show marathon celebrating their three studio albums. Last but not least How could we end this list without a radio sensation, a performer whose songs somehow you hear everywhere you go and get stuck in your head? Yes, we are talking about Katy Perry. Ms. Perry along with Robyn will perform August 3 at Comerica Theatre (just in time before the school year starts and vacations are beginning to wrap up) Perry really doesn’t need any bio or introduction because well if you don’t know at least one song or know who she is, you must be living under a rock. Phoenix might be hearing a lot of “Firework” this upcoming weekend to keep anxious fans complete for another month.        ]]> 14480 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/06/30/developers-story/ Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:14:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14517 Habitat Metro, recently hosted a RadiatePHX event (the monthly salon series hosted by Urban Affair, publishers of DPJ) and shared the story of that project and the future of the Lexington Hotel.

Thanks to the Arizona State University New Media Innovation Lab, CityScape, Downtown Phoenix Partnership, Phoenix Community Alliance and the City of Phoenix, SmartPHX is the first web app of its kind in Arizona. The SmartPHX web app uses geolocation technology to tell users where restaurants, nightlife, sports and other attractions are in relation to current user location, if the business is open and where they can find parking.

“This is one more way to expose downtown to more people and to get the message out: There are a ton of things to do in the heart of our city,” said Mayor Phil Gordon. “I’m downtown virtually every day and it is even hard for me to keep up. Luckily now my iPhone will help me out.”

Easy install iPhone users can install the app by typing http://smartphx.com in Safari and following the instructions to save the web app as a shortcut on the home screen (iPad too, if you walk around with your 3G-enabled device). Android users should search for SmartPHX on the Android Market. [caption id="attachment_14641" align="aligncenter" width="267" caption="Must-have apps for Downtown Phoenix explorers"][/caption] No charge The web app is completely free to use and, as of right now, isn't laden with ads, doesn't require any kind of registration and won't charge a fee for businesses to upload their information (the latter is still in the works).

“I’m excited because it brings downtown’s merchants in direct contact with consumers and vice versa. This is the only app that breaks down the barrier between businesses and their consumers and rewards both for using it,” Development Manager Jeff Moloznik of RED Development, the developer of CityScape, said.

Plan your trip Users need not actually be in Downtown Phoenix to make use of SmartPHX. Regardless of your current location, the web app will show you what's open, where the businesses are in relation to you and the nearest Light Rail stop or parking facility. Each listing is accompanied by a write up describing a bit about the business, along with links to their site. Those in Downtown RIGHT NOW will love the filtering option, which allows users to see what businesses are open. While it may be surprising to many Downtown Phoenix haters, there are a ton of attractions that stay open until the later hours. Sure, the banks and office buildings are closed, but you can still get a drink, burger or even bowl a few rounds. Or get a bite before and after the All-Star Fanfest. See you there! ]]> 14620 0 0 0 5919 http://citycircles.com 5918 0 5918 http://tdhurst.com 5917 205 5917 http://citycircles.com 0 0 5735 0 0 5921 http://tdhurst.com 5919 205 5922 http://citycircles.com 0 0 5923 http://tdhurst.com 5922 205 5809 http://tdhurst.com 5808 205 5722 0 0 5723 http://tdhurst.com 5722 205 5751 http://tdhurst.com 5750 205 5750 0 0 5808 http://tedxscottsdale.com 0 0 5807 http://tdhurst.com 5806 205 5806 http://tedxscottsdale.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/06/all-star-events/ Wed, 06 Jul 2011 15:16:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14655 Friday, July 8th - Tuesday, July 12th 9am - 8pm Friday - Monday, 9am - 6pm Tuesday MLB All-Star FanFest - Phoenix Convention Center A baseball-lovers paradise , this interactive theme park will feature games, exhibits, skill clinics, memorabilia and more.

The two MLB divisions play head-to-head in a game that used to be just a talent exhibition, but now determines home field advantage for the winning league in that year’s World Series. Show us the money With baseball fans from all over the world with their eyes on Phoenix, there are estimates that over $60 million will be injected into the Arizona economy as a result of the week+ celebration of baseball.

Gospel Claws has also had quite the past year featuring a full-length CD release in October, a spotlight on College Music Journal’s Top 200 list and appear at this year’s South by Southwest (which is rare since they hardly tour outside of Phoenix). Local indie jam band Mondegreen is back and ready to bust out their instruments. It feels like quite a few months have gone by since the band last played in Downtown. The four-piece will open the show. So take that swimsuit out of your dresser, crack open a PBR and enjoy the makeshift beach on the roof at Lexington Hotel.

Think we should keep her writing for us?) When you think of chocolate, what comes to mind? Rich, decadent, sweet… Therapeutic? Chocolate now has a whole new meaning for me thanks to chocolatier Lisa Reinhardt and her indulgent Wei of Chocolate “experience.” Let me be clear – this is not just any type of chocolate (and those who have tasted it would agree.) So, disregard your previously tainted notions of cheap chocolate imitations: Hershey’s, Milky Way, Dove, Ghirardelli… THIS is the real deal. Wei of Chocolate is a variety of organic, dark chocolates infused with spices and Lotus Wei’s flower essences, designed to balance your body and your mind. Wait, chocolate that is supposed to create mental balance? Yes. And it does just that. At the June Get your PHX at Urban Beans, I was able to experience this chocolate first hand from the creator Lisa herself. Having tasted the chocolate at the Phoenix Market before, I was excited to have this rare opportunity to pair the chocolate with luscious local wines and cheeses. I did not expect to be transformed. To note, Lisa Reinhardt is a rare breed. She lived in the Himalayas for 11 years and traveled the world, studying the traditions of Nepal, India, and Tibet before returning to the states. Through study and practicing eastern traditions and mediation, Lisa discovered that chocolate is the best way to naturally re-center and elevate others. An experience similar to homeopathy, she partnered Lotus Wei’s flower essence infusions to her fair trade, vegan chocolate and vóila: delicious clarity. As I entered the Urban Beans coffee shop, I spotted Lisa, who greeted me with a soft smile and warm handshake, while standing behind a small table displaying her usual array of flavors. Choices ranged from chai spice to chili-infused, paired with adorable names like “Joyful,” “Pure” and “Inspired.” But, just as the wand maker informed the young wizard Harry Potter, “the wand chooses the wizard", the same rings true for the chocolate. So, instead of allowing me to choose a chocolate that sounded most enticing, Lisa held a sign with six different flower images and asked,

“Which flower are you most drawn to?”

I chose a delicate, white five-pedaled flower with pointy pink tips in the bottom-left corner, the Jade Succulent.

“This flower,” Lisa explained, “is known for its vitality. People are drawn to this flower if they desire to attract more energy and strength.”

Interesting. Didn’t know I was going to be partnered with my chocolate. And thus, Lisa introduced me to Wei Pure, the most simple of her organic dark chocolate choices, balanced with cocoa butter, cocoa beans, cane sugar and vanilla, wrapped in a shiny, recycled silver foil wrapper, and sealed with a brown, corn bio-polymer Wei Chocolate label, a remedy to nurture my soul. From a simple piece of chocolate. Granted, I have always been a huge fan of chocolate. Dark chocolate has a plethora of health benefits to be sure. Never did I consider chocolate to be an avenue for stability and enlightenment. Lisa pointed out studies showing the improvement of cognitive performance and mood when chocolate is consumed, due to the increased blood flow to the brain. Partner that with natural benefits of flower essences, layered with ethically traded cocoa beans, conscious, green packaging, and a local Phoenix entrepreneur, and I suddenly have in my possession a blissful, guilt-free way to acquire balance in my life.

"I see each chocolate as an opportunity to meet our true nature," Lisa described, with a knowing grin. “People naturally know and gravitate to what they need. I wanted to create something that is honestly good for people; that helps them be healthy in a delicious way.”

And with that, she happily handed me a piece of chocolate. Just what the doctor ordered.]]> 14751 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/08/drink-cotton-candy/ Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:05:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14757 The folks at District American Kitchen & Wine Bar are getting in on the All-Star action this week with a special all-American-themed menu.

As part of their roll out announcing Pacifico on tap here in the states, the company planned a series of parties in four West Coast cities and Phoenix. Parties had local fare--Hood Ride in Phoenix had carne asada tacos, chips, salsa and guacamole and plenty of cold beer and soda. Catch me vampin' The vibe was certainly different than most downtown events, an atmosphere for those who miss having something a little weird downtown. Did I mention they also had graffiti artists decorate one keg for each location? That's something you don't see at most bars. Free? While some people would scoff at such blatant attempts to influence (they did give us free beer and a GoPro), it's refreshing to see a beer company do more than just invite a bunch of faceless people to a bar. By choosing to promote the eclectic, devil-may-care lifestyle that Hood Ride compatriots live, Pacifico certainly shows they listen to their customers. Think next they'll take on PBR and their hipster? Bottoms up to that.

Packed full of young, minor-league stars, the game pits U.S.-born stars against international-born players. This can mean teammates may face off against each other (the Seattle Mariners had stars on both sides), but this exhibition game is meant to be a showcase, not a hard-fought matchup. Arizona Diamondbacks's phenom Tyler Skaggs started for the U.S. team, and former ASU player Jason Kipnis started off the scoring for the U.S. by rocketing a line-drive over the wall in right. Highly regarded hitter Bryce Harper, who recently drew scorn after blowing a kiss to a pitcher after hitting a home run, went 0-4, striking out looking in his first at bat.

Please welcome him to the team.) Chase Field takes center stage All eyes were on Phoenix, Arizona as All-Star festivities kicked off over the weekend culminating with the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday evening. It’s disappointing for local fans that there is not more D-back representation on display. Justin Upton was set to be the lone D-backs representative until it was announced that catcher Miguel Montero was added as a late replacement. J-Up was snubbed from the Home Run Derby and pitcher Ian Kennedy failed to accumulate enough fan votes to earn the “Final Vote”. I like gooooooold Attendees at Monday’s Home Run Derby will have a chance to bring home a valuable souvenir. MLB has announced that a portion of baseballs infused with real gold will be used during the annual exhibition. Each ball carries a retail value of about $150. A little advice to those sitting in the bleachers—you better bring your glove and maybe a bodyguard. Midsummer Classic comes at a good time The D-backs continue to surprise the league and have maintained their position in the standings despite being in the midst of a grueling stretch of games where the majority have been on the road. Like many teams at this point in the season, the D-backs are nursing some injuries and have been without the services of closer J.J. Putz since June 29. The All-Star break couldn’t come at a better time for Putz. After the first two months of the season, Putz was putting up some of the best numbers in the league amongst closers. Since that time, his numbers have taken a dip and he eventually landed on the 15 day DL with tendinitis is his throwing elbow. This didn’t come as a surprise as it became apparent during his last couple appearances that J.J. just didn’t have the same stuff he displayed earlier this season. The D-backs will be excited to have their closer back in the pen, but in the meantime David Hernandez has been solid handling closer duties. Well deserved R & R Hopefully the D-backs will take a few days to relax and re-energize in preparation for a long stretch run. As proud as the organization deserves to be at this point, it’s important that they’re not satisfied. The D-backs need to stay hungry and continue to play with the same passion that they’ve demonstrated thus far. If that happens, D-backs fans should remain optimistic heading into the second half of the season. D-backs look to continue halfway successful season From a pure success standpoint, the D-backs have exceeded most expectations so far this season. However, for the 2011 campaign to be considered a complete success, the D-backs will have to continue performing at the same level for the second half of the season. The Diamondbacks are currently three games out of first place in the NL West chasing only the San Francisco Giants. Prior to the start of the season, it’s hard to imagine anyone predicting the D-backs remaining in the pennant chase up to the midway point of the season. Of course it would be ideal to have a ten game lead right now, but given the teams recent futility the last couple seasons, the current standings are a pleasant surprise and more than anyone could have asked for. ]]> 14888 0 0 0 5752 http://upchuck.us 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/11/allstar-fanfest-photos/ Tue, 12 Jul 2011 02:35:15 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=14913 Greg Taylor for the photos.

Photos and video captured the images as Kingman resident Keith Carmickle came dangerously close plummeting over the edge of an outfield concourse. If not for his friends and bystanders who were able to restrain him and bring him to safety, Carmickle would have faced certain bodily injury and even possible death. Painfully ironic because earlier the same day funeral services were held in Texas for Shannon Stone, the Rangers fan who fell to his death while attempting to catch a ball thrown into the crowd by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Come on man It’s hard to imagine that anyone could be reckless enough to find themselves in a similar situation only days after the entire country grieved the loss of Stone. Our hearts went out to the firefighter and father who was living his American dream at an innocent ballgame with his son when tragedy struck. What happened in Arlington was a tragic accident, while what nearly happened here in Phoenix would have been something completely different. Photos from the scene show Carmickle standing on a narrow ledge inches away from a 20-foot drop. Changes could be on the horizon With the recent death and high profile near repeat, it seems inevitable that Major League Baseball will analyze practices and policies to determine if ballparks are safe for fans. The time could come when players will be prohibited from tossing balls or any souvenir into the crowd. In addition, it seems very likely that structural changes will be made in stadiums across the country. Possibilities could include and not be limited to raising the height of railing near overhangs and adding netting under concourse ledges. Keep things in perspective Going to a baseball game is not inherently dangerous, but fans need to pay attention, use common sense and most importantly, stay in control. Regardless of any additional safety measures put in place, the fact remains that fans will always frenzy after souvenir items at sporting events. As a society we’re in need of a serious reality check. When did it become acceptable to put your life at risk for a $7 piece of leather memorabilia? (ed note - some of the homerun derby balls had a gold cover, with a value of $150) On a brighter side It was nice to see Arizona fans show their support for outfielder Justin Upton during the homerun derby. D-back fans could be heard chanting Justin Upton’s name and booing NL derby captain Prince Fielder during his introduction. Fielder was criticized locally for choosing teammate Rickie Weeks over Justin Upton. Too bad former D-back Mark Reynolds didn’t get to hit in his former home. He could have hit some mammoth blasts. He also could have been the first player to strike out in a homerun competition. ]]> 15006 0 0 0 5767 http://tdhurst.com 0 205 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/15/local-free-shows/ Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:47:09 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15028 Every now and then there’s a low-key event going on around the Valley that sounds like more people need to find out about. This Saturday you can book up the day at Downtown Phoenix's favorite record shop, Stinkweeds. Marlene O’Connor starts the show at 7 p.m. at Stinkweeds along with great food from local vendors Short Leash Hot Dogs and Bite Me Brownies. O’Connor has been playing music around Phoenix for the past couple of years, popping up at beloved venues such as the Modified Arts, Trunk Space and Rhythm Room. She has shared the bill with other folk River Jones artists (think Owl & Penny and Michelle Blades). O’Connor equipped with an acoustic guitar will supply a wonderful summer set list. The show is free and the hot dogs are perfect for a great Saturday night. Stinkweeds is located at 12 West Camelback Road. If you have Saturday plans and need something to do on Sunday night, Lost Leaf is hosting a free show with local band The Whisperlights. They just released a new album, Surfaces, where violinist Tobie Milford switches it up to guitar. ]]> 15028 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/21/salsa-chili-fest-brings-family-fun-melrose-donates-proceeds/ Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:57:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15041 Hotter Than July Chili Cook-Off and Salsa Fest Sunday, July 10, according to committee member and Wag N’ Wash Healthy Pet Center co-founder Steve Strauss. With misters overhead and cold drinks in hand, patrons sampled and judged chili and salsa from five different teams, danced to live music, and enjoyed the company of other Valley residents. Celebrating Summer in Cen Pho Why eat chili and salsa outside in Phoenix during the middle of July? The idea all started about five years ago when both Copper Star Coffee and Wag N’ Wash opened up at 7th Avenue and Heatherbrae Drive. Since then, they had always talked about hosting a block party, says committee member and Copper Star owner Bill Sandweg. About two months ago, the two Melrose shops finally decided to go for it, gaining the help of Lucky 15 Creative and ONE Community. However, instead of planning the block party for a time of year when Phoenix residents gloat about living in the desert, such as February or March, the event organizers chose to “embrace the heat,” Sandweg says. One reason they decided to arrange the event during the hottest month of the year was because there would be fewer events scheduled around the Valley during that time, Sandweg says. The committee also wanted to show that Phoenix is an exciting place to be year-round. “We want to show that there is a downtown vibrance and, frankly, fun things to do in CenPho even when the temperature goes up,” says Meghan Olesen, committee member and Melrose District liaison. The decision to host a chili and salsa cook-off fit with the idea of embracing the heat. “If it’s going to be hot, let’s make it real hot,” Sandweg says. Phoenix resident Jon Marino, a participant of one of the salsa and chili teams, told the Downtown Phoenix Journal that he was having a great time at the event while taking a break from the heat inside Copper Star Coffee. “It was a spur of the moment [decision to participate],” he says. “A couple of my friends and I were here last week and found out about it ... I’m having a lot of fun." Good Cause In addition to showing locals that there are fun things to do in Phoenix during the summer, Hotter Than July wanted to give back to the community. According to Strauss, the event raised over $600, all of which will be donated to the Arizona-based Gabriel’s Angels organization. Gabriel’s Angels aims to deliver healing pet therapy to abused, neglected and at-risk children in hopes of instilling in them a sense of well-being, safety and happiness, according to its website. Strauss says coordinating the festival was a great process to be a part of because all of the organizers and sponsors pitched in to help make it an excellent event. Even though they were unable to attend the cook-off, local restaurant That’s A Wrap donated all of the serving containers and utensils used for the chili and salsa. Strauss says that is one of the things he loves about central and downtown Phoenix. “There’s a real feeling of community and you really get to see it firsthand with an event like this,” he says. “It was just a really fun family event. A lot of people from the neighborhood came out, and we’re really looking forward to the second annual.”]]> 15041 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/21/fatigo-ohenry-lost-leaf/ Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:06:39 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15120 Lost Leaf has two shows going on for those who need some Friday or Saturday plans. Like all their shows, they start at 9 p.m., for the older folks (meaning 21 and older), and most importantly, not heavy on the wallet. Fatigo is quite the eclectic group from Arizona, with more members than a symphony. Okay, not really, but you’ll get the idea. This fifteen-member band includes bass, guitar, drums, cello, trumpet and more. Their primary sound is a weird little mix that works. Southwestern blues meets folk. Each song has a different main sound or feeling switching up the lyrics with Spanglish. Half the Lost Leaf will be filled with band members from Fatigo, it’ll be hard to imagine where their instruments will go. Saturday night has more locals with Tempe-based band O' Henry. Six-member indie band has a bluegrass folk feeling with a nice touch of a fiddle. They released their first CD last November entitled after the Bradshaw Mountains area, Horsethief Basin speaking true to every Arizonan about escaping the blistering heat and avoiding the mundane of the desert life. Listen to “Point South”. Both bands have a down-to-earth Arizona folk sound with a twist of bluegrass or Mexican roots. Either way you’ll be having a good time, chilling with one of Lost Leaf’s finest beers. Lost Leaf is located at 914 North 5th Street Phoenix, 85004.      ]]> 15120 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/21/dbacks-digest-race-trading-deadline/ Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:03:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15142 D-backs need to finish homestand strong The Diamondbacks have started the second half of the season fairly well by winning three of their first five games. The Dbacks took two of three at home against the Dodgers and have split the last two games against the Brewers. The D-backs still have five games remaining at Chase Field before heading off on a California tour starting next Tuesday in San Diego. The D-backs play three games in San Diego against the Padres before heading to LA for another three against the Dodgers and finish the eight game trip in San Francisco against the division leading Giants. D-backs need a little help The Diamondbacks currently find themselves four and a half games back in the standings, despite a decent start to the homestand. The Giants have won five of six to extend their division lead. For the Dbacks to close the gap, two things are going to need to happen.

-The Diamondbacks need to continue winning series. Also, when the Dbacks play head-to-head against the Giants, they need to find a way to gain some ground. -The Giants need to start losing some games. After they wrap up the current series with the Dodgers, San Fran hosts a three game series against the Brewers. Then they’ll head out on a tough six game stretch in Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

Help may come in a different form The July 31 Major League Baseball trade deadline is approaching and word is that the Diamondbacks will be buyers. This is always an interesting time of the year because rosters can change quite drastically. Many teams will make changes to help position for a playoff push. The D-backs have expressed an interest in adding pitching. The D-backs seem solid at the top end of the rotation and the back end of the bullpen, but could use more reliable arms in middle relief and a solid fourth starter. Only time will tell how the roster will look on August 1 after the deadline has passed, but it seems very likely that changes will be made. Hopefully the D-backs can make some moves to retool and prepare for a pennant chase. Life without Stephen Drew Stephen Drew left the game on Thursday in the bottom of the 4th inning as he was tagged out at the plate attempting to score from second base. On the play, Drew’s right leg was caught underneath his body as he slid into the catcher. The Diamondbacks have confirmed that Drew suffered a fractured ankle on the play, likely ending the season for the D-backs starting shortstop. This is obviously a horrible break (no pun intended) as Drew is one of the leaders of the the young D-backs squad. In Drew’s absence it will be up to veteran Willie Bloomquist to fill the void at shortstop. Fortunately, Bloomquist filled in admirably for Drew earlier in the season and he’s more than capable of providing a spark. ]]> 15142 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/02/torch-theatres-4721-opens/ Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:05:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15167 (A longer version of this article will appear in the August/September DPJ Mag.) (I'm a proud financial supporter of Torch Theatre. I bought a nameplate on a chair, own a button and performed with Mack Duncan and Heidi Watson on July 29 at 8:30 pm as part of Cerebus Cup. Also, theatre is an acting troupe, a theater is a building where people watch movies and/or performances.) Achievements are so much better when people earn them. Whether it's a first car, a college education or that big move away from home, we all have dreams about what it will be like to reach life's milestones. Jazz hands all around Originally a barber shop, the theater at 4721 wasn't exactly ready to host shows when first discovered by Torch. Chairs, hair under the floorboards and no walls meant it would need to be renovated before it could be zoned by the city for assembly. According to board member Nina Miller, Torch took great care in working with the city to make sure everything was done by the book. Because their budget was extremely limited, any wasted work could delay opening for weeks or months. Beginnings Founded in 2007, Torch's original goal wasn't to open its own theater, but to establish a community around long-form improv. Once they assimilated a rag-tag troupe of artists, their focus shifted. According to Miller, the group's sentiment revolved around one observation. "With all this energy, we could get together and form our own theater." Thanks to their original, temporary home at Space 55, Torch was able to scrimp, save and raise enough money to head out on their own. Now that they've opened, founding member Mack Duncan promises more of the same great shows they've put on for years, in one place with renewed focus. "[We want to] take this art form as far as we can take it," Duncan said. Get up on stage While the first three weekends have been a success, Torch isn't resting on their laurels encouraging community involvement. Because their space is so intimate, it's impossible for anyone to attend and not have some impact on the show, whether with their very presence or, like me, the loud laughter often following a joke. Some people, like ShanMan during their opening weekend and yours truly the weekend after, were part of the experience. Every Saturday night Torch presents the Neighborhood, which consists of one person telling one story at a time--on stage--each based on an audience suggestion. Torch uses the material for three to five sketches and then the monologist hops back on stage for another story, which is followed by more sketches. Backstage perspective For many of the monologists, this experience marks their first time as part of an acting troupe, an experience that's as frightening as it is awesome. Anyone who's ad libbed a speech will appreciate the rush. If you've ever rambled on in hope that your thoughts will eventually come together into some point or punchline, you get the idea. Picture doing that with lights in your face, experienced actors behind you and an audience that desperately wants you to succeed. It felt like being thrown into water without any real fear of drowning, as the first half of my stories were random words as my mind desperately searched for focus. When's the last time YOU ever saw a performance where someone from the audience set up nearly every scene? Most people haven't, and that's what makes Torch special. It's an improv troupe in a theater ad libbing their way through life and touching other's lives while doing it. Performances are every Friday and Saturday at 7, 8:30 and 10:30 pm. (Torch is a non-profit entity who are always in need of your money. Donations go toward facility improvements, lessons for anyone with the time and drive and their energy bills.

Although winning six of ten is nice, the D-backs are currently not gaining any ground on the division-leading Giants. The D-backs will have a chance to take matters into their own hands when they face-off against the Giants at the end of the next road trip. The next ten days could make or break the season. California here we come The D-backs have a day off Monday followed by nine games in as many days on a tour of California. The D-backs are currently four games back in the West behind division-leading Giants and really can’t afford to fall any further back. The road trip starts out Tuesday in San Diego with three games against the Padres, followed by a three-game weekend series in LA against the Dodgers. Then on to San Fran to battle the Giants for three to wrap up the trip. The D-backs need take advantage of their head-to-head match-ups with the Giants if they want to compete for the pennant. Well deserved attaboy By now most D-back and MLB fans across the country have heard the story about the selfless act that was played out on national TV during the Diamondbacks telecast Wednesday night on FOX Sports Arizona. Viewers could see a young man handing a souvenir foul ball to another young boy who was obviously distraught after missing out on the same souvenir because he felt like the ball had been intended for him. Ian McMillan, of Scottsdale, gave the younger boy the ball because he said it seemed like the right thing to do. He hadn’t seen the younger boy when he caught the souvenir but quickly realized the situation and immediately reacted in a manner that’s captivated the sports world and beyond. There is an unwritten rule in baseball that says you should give a souvenir to a younger fan. In most cases that means adults passing on to children, but here it was a 12-year-old boy sharing with another child maybe a year or two his minor. Meet the players Later, during the broadcast, Ian was called up to the booth where he was awarded an autographed Justin Upton bat from announcers Daron Sutton and Mark Grace. The Diamondbacks organization stepped up to show their appreciation by inviting Ian onto the field Friday for batting practice and to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Manager Kirk Gibson presented Ian with his own D-backs jersey and he was seen meeting the players and getting autographs. Shiny, happy people It was great to see a 12-year-old display a level of selflessness not often seen in today’s society – at any age. Also nice to see the local and national media recognize the good deed and reward Ian for his actions. Let’s hope that one day soon a selfless act like Ian’s can become the norm and not be viewed as quite so extraordinary. If that were the case our world would be a much better place to live. ]]> 15178 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/27/street-facelift-shady-ficus-tree/ Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:59:57 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15217 Phoenix has agreed to save the ficus.) (Local activist/resident Sean Sweat of Downtown Dog Park fame lives next door to this project and attended all related council meetings. This article reflects his opinion(s) alone.) If you haven’t noticed the recent construction, First Street is getting a facelift. Make it walkable The City’s goal with the project is pedestrian improvement via narrowing of the road and widening of the sidewalks. There were three related public meetings of questionable success, with funds coming from $1M of use-it-or-lose-it bond money burning a hole in City Hall’s pocket. The project runs up First Street from Fillmore north to Hance Park, though the construction (starting at the south) is currently only partially funded. The project found an obstacle when the City determined that there were utilities underneath the west sidewalk. This was a problem because it meant that vegetation couldn’t be planted there (namely trees with deeper root structures). The City’s solution was to incorporate angled parking on the west side of the road and parallel parking on the east side. This allows them to plant westside trees at the end of planter arms extending between every other angled parking space. Shady cars Problem is, these westside trees cover parked cars and don’t do squat for pedestrians on the sidewalk during the oppressive summer lunchtime sun. I also wonder if it was considered how large such trees could grow given that they don’t have any surrounding soil through which their roots can breathe. I’m sure it depends on the type of tree planted, but generally the answer “is not very large”. Expect these trees to be unimpressive, wispy desert trees that give the impression of a half-assed project that missed its mark. At least they’ll be honest trees. Well, except for the massive, mature, lush, draught-resistant ficus that already exists on the west side of First Street just south of McKinley, providing thick copious shade to anyone that ambles past it. The City plans to remove this one because it “doesn’t match their design palette” and because it resides atop a storm drain. (Remember those pesky utilities underneath the western sidewalk.) What happened? But those are ridiculous excuses from a City Hall that is obviously lacking the urban transportation knowledge required to truly transform our downtown. The storm drain should be abandoned: utilities should be placed under the road. This ensures that when future maintenance of the utilities is required, pedestrian flow and business access is impacted less, not to mention the cost difference between removing and replacing simple asphalt versus concrete sidewalks and curb cuts is substantial. Fact is, any quality streetscape project incorporates the relocation of utilities (if needed). Yet this one doesn’t. The primary excuse given to me is that the bond money is designated for a streetscape project and therefore cannot be used to move utilities. But that’s a lie because utility relocation is what allows one to recreate the streetscape, as proven in many cities not named “Phoenix”. Quantity over quality? The only conceivable explanation is because the City wants the bond money to superficially go further down First Street, regardless of the long-term failings or the self-imposed constraints forcing a sub-par design. The City should instead should be doing the project right the first time, even if that means covering less area in this first phase. The project also neglects obvious and common pedestrian improvements such as pavers instead of concrete (think Mill Avenue) or at least pavers for crosswalks to send vehicles a clear message to expect pedestrians (again, think Mill Avenue). But it does reportedly add benches, and I’m sure everyone reading this has walked First Street at one point or another and thought, “Damn, if there was only a bench here I could rest on…” Contact Sean at sean.sweat@gmail.com]]> 15217 0 0 0 5871 http://rscottjones.com 5836 0 5872 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5836 0 5833 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5829 0 5834 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5828 0 5835 http://rscottjones.com 5831 0 5836 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5835 0 5837 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5836 0 5830 http://rscottjones.com 0 0 5831 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 5830 0 5826 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 0 0 5827 0 0 5828 http://www.decomstudio.com 0 0 5829 http://beulahland.blogs.com/photography/ 0 0 5844 http://twitter.com/#!/PhxDowntowner 0 0 5846 http://beulahland.blogs.com/photography/ 0 0 5847 http://beulahland.blogs.com/photography/ 0 0 5839 5833 0 6794 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/30/abstract-rude-hidden-house/ Sat, 30 Jul 2011 20:34:04 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15243 Abstract Rude is playing Friday at Hidden House. Over a decade of making music and Mr. Aaron Pointer still has it. Need a little reminder of who he is? Just pick up the documentary This is the Life. Abstract Rude along with Jurassic 5 and other '90s hip hop artists got their start from playing Thursday nights at the Good Life Café in Los Angeles. After being discovered in the café, his career took off in the mid '90s. In 2009, his last album was released under Atmosphere’s leading man Slug’s record label, Rhymesayers Entertainment. Rejuvenation has more of a funky undertone with heavy bass beats behind them. It’s definitely one of those albums you throw on in the car and get down while you think no one is looking. Listen to Nuff Fire to get an idea of what Abstract Rude has to offer. Show starts at 9 pm. $10. Hidden House is located at 607 West Osborn Road Phoenix, 85013 ]]> 15243 0 0 0 5878 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/07/28/science-silliness/ Thu, 28 Jul 2011 19:46:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15249 Blue Bike gang has both areas down to a…well…(ahem) science. And it’s insanely fun watch. Plus, they can time travel. Can you time travel? Didn’t think so. The Blue Bike Kid Show consists of the triumphant trio, Boyd Branch, Steve Wilcox and Elizabeth Peterson, who educate children about science and technology through quirky adventures. Think: Bill Nye the Science guy meets a nostalgic theater troupe. Their creative style attracts audiences beyond their 8-13 range. Imagine being transported to the moon with the Blue Bike Time-O-Poration Photobooth, best described as an antique camera display and a green screen backdrop…at the Phoenix Public Market. (My grandmother was impressed. The moon picture is on her refrigerator.) This is just a slice of what they do. Their focus is unique: How do we engage with our young generation to connect the world of modern digital technology with problem solving and community involvement? Their solution: Create an interactive kid’s show packed with entertaining stories, activities, and exciting adventures to expand the scope of scientific wonder. Steve Wilcox, one of the trio troupe members, noticed that kids today are surrounded by all this technology, but are interacting with the technological world by means of consumption instead of creativity. They took the idea to the web and designed a show based on a creative, educational experience for kids. Taking this a step further, the Blue Bike gang also highlights people in our own community on their website, such as scientists and engineers, to showcase experiments and innovative designs, inspiring kids to learn from the best. I love that part the most. Not only does the Blue Bike gang energetically engage and educate young kids about science; they also partner with other creative scientific minds to enhance the experience and bring their ideas to life. Best of all, the show can be brought… to you! Community Event? Science Day? The Blue Bike gang will be there, complete with their educational gear and whimsical, captivating performance. This fun-loving Blue Bike group, who are big kids themselves, are a rare find in the community. They are taking on a not-so-easy feat: change the way children experience the world. I agree, many kids are not challenged enough to take advantage of this amazing technological era we live in. Their definition of technological success is scoring high points on Super Mario Wii. The Blue Bike gang is tackling this problem with innovative strides and reaching the youth in ways that television shows simply can’t. How? By getting kids motivated, allowing them to discover the potential of technology through good, honest, goofy, silly FUN.]]> 15249 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/01/dbacks-digest-newcomers-ziegler-goldschmidt-marquis-august/ Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:13:18 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15280 Stage set for first-place showdown The Diamondbacks current nine-game California road trip is working out according to plan. The D-backs started the trip by taking two of three in San Diego and wrapped up another series win over the weekend in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the D-backs finally received a little help from the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds did Arizona a favor by sweeping the San Francisco Giants in three-game weekend series. The D-backs are currently only two games behind the Giants in the NL West standings. The next three days in San Fran are make-or-break time for the Diamondbacks. This represents the opportunity to tighten the race even more or potentially fall further back to a point of no recovery. The D-backs have taken care of business so far on the trip, but it will all be negated if the series is lost in San Francisco. Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton entered the game Sunday afternoon sporting an impressive streak of 10 games with an extra base hit. This is the longest such streak this season in the majors. Upton was able to get a single late in the game to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, but unfortunately, the extra base hit steak ended at 10 games. During the current hitting streak J-Up has six home runs and 19 RBI. He has been leading the club offensively and continues to produce big hits in big situations. Upton appears closer than ever to realizing to potential that’s been talked about since he was taken first overall in the 2005 draft. D-backs hope to strike Gold(schmidt) Minor-league prospect Paul Goldschmidt is expected to join the Diamondbacks on Monday in San Francisco. The addition of Goldschmidt should excite D-backs fans. Goldschmidt has crushed minor league pitching for the better part of three seasons and this year playing for Double-A Mobile in the Southern League, has led the league in home runs, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage and OPS. Goldschmidt is hitting .306 with 30 bombs and 94 RBIs. With numbers like that, there is reason for optimism and excitement. Goldschmidt could play as early as Monday and has the potential to instantly become an every day player. [caption id="attachment_15284" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Paul Goldschmidt looks to make an immediate impact."][/caption] Last-minute trade deadline activity The Diamondbacks made room for Goldschmidt when current first baseman Brandon Allen was traded along with pitcher Jordan Norbeto to the Oakland A’s for reliever Brad Ziegler. Ziegler is a right hander with a unique submarine delivery that gives right handed hitters trouble. He should fill in nicely in a set-up role alongside David Hernandez. The D-backs also acquired veteran starter Jason Marquis from the Washington Nationals. Marquis will most likely be looked on to eat some innings at the back end of the rotation. Overall the D-backs weren’t involved in any blockbuster moves, but the moves that were made should help the team down the stretch. The biggest move could prove to be the promotion of Goldschmidt to the big league club. ]]> 15280 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/04/destroy-nate-allen/ Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:04:44 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15309 Trunk Space is a cheap show with some truly quirky bands. Portland-based Destroy Nate Allen play alongside Phoenix locals Snail Quail and Shortstack Lightning this Friday as part of Phoenix's First Friday event. Destroy Nate Allen is a folk punk band known for their upbeat lyrics and tunes. Nate and Tessa Allen are not your average married couple with blue and pink hair screaming lyrics like: “Jesus keep us safe from the cops.” Their sing-a-long type songs are fun to clap your hands to. Opening up for the duo is Snail Quail, a local Phoenix band with an anti-folk, indie sound in the same satiresque genre like Millencolin and Dead Milkmen. The trio is headed by singer and guitarist Jonathan Cisneros, bassist Desert Muserelli and drummer Tim Hoag. They recently released “Phoenix, Arizona”, a single about their love-hate relationship with Arizona. Cisneros sings about the Phoenix that most locals know living here after one year such as being hell on earth, our clear skies and that the majority of artists move to the more hipster places like Portland or New York. His comment to those who leave? “I just laugh because Phoenix is so badass.” One of the truly comedic lyrics is “but if it wasn’t for A/C, this isn’t a place I would be.” The band just finished up recording in late June and plan to release new songs soon. Of the three bands, Shortstack Lightning has more of an old school loud, thrash punk sound. The three bands will make for a nice combination of acoustic fun punk to loud in your face punk definitely a First Friday perfect show.

Things could have been worse as the D-backs faced a sweep on Sunday with Clayton Kershaw on the mound for the Dodgers – Kershaw is the Dodgers' ace and one of the best starters in the league. Fortunately, the D-backs had their ace pitching as well and, on this day, Ian Kennedy came out on top. Losing two games to start the series was a disappointment because the D-backs blew a golden opportunity to grab the division lead. So much work had been done on the road, the Diamondbacks were rolling and there was a sense that the fans were starting to back the team. [caption id="attachment_15645" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Ian Kennedy has emerged as an ace"][/caption]Fans need to stay confident and focus on the positive. The fact that the D-backs went an entire month without losing a series was an impressive stretch--a stretch that brought them to within a half game of the league-leading Giants. All that matters now is what happens moving forward. D-backs fail to take advantage during first series of home stand The D-backs left San Francisco on Wednesday only one game out of first place. The Giants left the door open by dropping three of four against the Philadelphia Phillies. Instead of kicking that door wide open, the D-backs picked a bad time to cool off. A D-backs series win against the Dodgers – a team that they should beat – would have propelled Arizona to the top of the standings. The good news is that the D-backs remain only a half game back. At this point, the NL West is clearly up for grabs. Time is now for D-backs as danger looms The D-backs have seven games remaining on the current home stand and it is imperative that both series are won to create a little cushion and momentum. On Monday the Diamondbacks open a four-game series with the Houston Astros. Houston is undoubtedly the worst team in baseball. Even a split in this series would be a huge disaster. On Friday the D-backs host a three-game, weekend series with the New York Mets. Although the Mets are having a decent season, this is another must-win series for Arizona, mostly because of the danger that lies ahead in the form of a 10-game road trip against elite National League teams. The D-backs will play three games in Philadelphia against arguably the best team in the majors, then travel to Atlanta for three against a Braves team that is currently leading the Wild Card standings. The long road trip will wrap up in D.C. with four games against the Nationals. Even the most optimistic fans have to recognize the challenge and significance for that upcoming trip. This is why the next seven days are critical if the D-backs want to stay in this race for the remainder of the season. ]]> 15637 0 0 0 5912 http://azwellnessdirectory.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/11/splash-ladylike/ Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:38:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15658 Ladylike is trying out a new song “Crime of the Century” and each member is mouthing various ways on how the build-up can go including hand motions and different boom-dom-puh’s. A few tries later, the song is coming together and the band’s pop 70s rock sound is full force. Rob Kroehler, Ryan Casey, Alex Tighe, Austin Owen and Ethan Hillis have become quite the band of brothers. Barely over two years playing as Ladylike, they have been able to tour with fun. and Steel Train, make a music video along the way and record their first full-length album.

“Literally today we got the finally mixes back so it will be mastered and finished by the end of this month,” lead singer Kroehler said.

The album’s name and release is still up in the air but the band did something that most local bands don’t do.

“We wanted an opportunity to get out of our element so rather than recording in the Valley we recorded in Kansas,” Tighe said.

The band spent 10 days engulfed in the making of their CD and perfecting each song at Black Lodge Recording studio.

“Ethan and Austin would stay up some nights until we woke up in the morning and started again so we were working the whole time,” Tighe said.

Now that they’ve completed their first full-length, they want to take the band to a whole 'nother level.

“Albuquerque,” Hillis jokes on where the band’s future goal will be. “That’s a tank of gas,” Kroehler responds.

Before the band jumps the gun and leaves Arizona for good ol’ New Mexico, come see them at Summer Splash this Saturday at the Lexington Hotel. Hit a beach ball to some catchy, sing-a-long rock that makes you want to grab a hold of an ice cold Pabst. Ladylike is perfect music for a Saturday evening in Downtown. Why should you attend other than all the reasons above?

“Because there’s a pool and there will be tons of girls there,” Owen said.

Also, there are hints that an onesie will be involved during the set. Tempting isn’t it?

Choose An Interest Whether you’re a music junkie (Stinkweeds), boutique-vore (Butter Toast), environmental evangelist (Rogue Green), food frenzy (Cycle) or just want to try something unique (Places, Spaces, and Faces), I can guarantee you will find an exciting event any night of the week. Some of these events you have to find, which is the best part. It’s like a sweet, city treasure hunt. (And who doesn’t like booty?) 2.) Get Onto Social Media If you want to find things outside of your circle, bite the bullet and get on Facebook. There, you’ll find all you need to know about your event. It’s important to get the details. If you find an event or topic that interests you, more than likely, there’s a Facebook and Twitter page attached to it. Sweet Discovery Numbero Dos: Many of these small businesses, venues, and events partner with other small businesses, venues and events. And people talk about it online. While you’re engaging with the venue of the event and the hosts, you’re also chatting it up with the people attending. Before you know it, you’re plugged into the community (and having a bit of fun in the process). 3.) Coordinate Upcoming Events So, you RSVPed to some events coming up and you’re ready to rock. Word of caution – Don’t go overboard. Despite your superhero cape, you can’t be two places at once. Grab a calendar and jot down some of the events you want to check out. This is not rocket science. But getting RSVP-zealous equals unintentional overlaps or event burnouts. Believe me, people in this town are passionate about their events and will convince you to keep coming (as you should.)  Get the details, plan your weeks, and pace it out. 4.) Show Up It doesn’t do a whole lot of good to RSVP, then be lazy and skip out to watch a rerun of Jersey Shore (it’s called TiVo, people). Be intentional about showing up to your RSVPs. Not only will you meet interesting people in a unique Phoenix space, the odds that you’ll have an amazing night are as good as seeing Snooki falling down in bar (very likely). Let me give you another example. This is your chance to have an influence in things you care about. Just as the great Gandhi once said (and is constantly quoted on bumper stickers), “Be the change you want to see in the world,” attending an event will give you that opportunity to get your voice heard. Case in point: You discover a rare meet and greet forum event on Facebook, with a chance to chat it up with a potential Phoenix mayoral candidate. You’ve been talking to your friends for months about needing more support for economic sustainability efforts in Phoenix. Now, you have that chance. Going to the event is your opportunity to speak out! (Note: This event actually happened through Phoenix Green Chamber of Commerce.) How about your random desire to try Vietnamese food? There just so happens to be a cool event coming up next week (cue: mark your calendar) where you can sample some delish goodies at the new restaurant Rice Paper while meeting members of your community. You can’t do that by staying home. 5.) Go Explore! Beware: Once you make that first step, you may discover other things you didn’t know existed. Like a unicorn event. (Um...what?) Yes. Co+Hoots (a collaborative working space for creative types) is hosting Unicorn Arts Mix, a unicorn-themed show celebrating Raising Unicorns: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Starting and Running a Successful - and Magical! - Unicorn Farm by author Jessica S. Marquis while benefiting the new and inspirational film arts nonprofit, Sailbear Labs. The event is this Friday and 7pm. And no, I am not making this book up. Get your glitter and come on out!]]> 15699 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/12/valley-sunflowers/ Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:31:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15739 Brown Lots Go Green Developing dirt lots downtown, especially on those lots owned by the city, is a challenge for multiple reasons: funding, vision, planning, and politics. For the neighborhood to see development on this vacant land, a magic word must be evoked: temporary. With this in mind Valley of the Sunflowers was developed. The project on a vacant parcel between 5th and 6th Streets and Garfield and McKinley Streets will bring utility, beauty, and creative use to an abandoned lot in the heart of Roosevelt-if only temporarily. Downtowners and Sunflowers Sean Sweat made headlines when he tried to reach an agreement with the city to develop a downtown dog park on what is now a parking lot. There is still no downtown dog park, but that hasn’t stopped him from thinking big. As an employee of Intel, he found grant opportunities and connected with Cindy Dach, Kenny Barrett and Braden Kay. Over drinks at the Rum Bar they discussed ideas and how the grants could be used to help downtown. Barrett suggested a simple, unique idea: a field of sunflowers. The four downtowners realized the multiple benefits of such a project: besides bringing color and life to a brown lot, the seed harvest could produce local sunflower oil to sell at the Phoenix Public Market and the oil could be used as biofuel for the nearby bioscience high school. Maybe even City Hall would be on board and willing to cooperate. Sweat was eventually able to secure a total of $22,000 through two grants from the Intel Foundation, the company’s charitable organization for community development. The first grant totaled $5,000. With the sustainability element of the project in place, Sweat created a budget and applied for an additional $17,000 “Sustainability in Action” grant through Intel. Again, he received the funds.

“The first $5,000 wasn’t enough to cover all the costs,” says Sweat. Water costs alone would sink most of the budget. Plus they also would need the land, permits, an irrigation system, drip tape, someone to till the sunbaked soil, fertilizer, seeds, a winnower, an oil press, signage, and maybe a fence.

Valley of the Sunflowers Picture it: two acres of six-foot-tall sunflowers with their big yellow faces leaning towards the sunlight as the sun drags across the sky, the flowers turning in unison like spectators at a slow motion tennis match.

“This project activates blighted land, creates an intriguing downtown, and is inspirational to see people doing stuff,” says Sweat.

The City of Phoenix is supportive as well. Cindy Dach, Acting Executive Director of Roosevelt Row, CDC, says the city was tentative when first approached with the idea, but after some meetings City Hall caught the vision and fast tracked the project.

“We know the city is under the microscope for how it spends money. We came to them with the idea and the money to do this project,” she says.

The city wanted to start on four-acres but Sweat and Dach agreed that kind of square footage was too large for the initial project. Planting will begin in the fall with the first harvest in November or December. Sweat and Dach are realistic about the first harvest and the learning curve that they face.

“We are going to learn about the soil conditions, how far apart to plant seeds, about water usage, about wind damage. The spring harvest will be better,” says Sweat.

The fall and spring are the only two seasons that Roosevelt Row will be responsible for the project. After the spring harvest the sunflowers could be completely removed, unless another person or organization wants to assume (temporary) responsibility for the project. During these coming two seasons, community volunteers will be needed every step of the way.

“If someone has an oil press or a tractor, or can contribute time and resources, that would be awesome,” says Sweat.

A Facebook page has been created to keep the community informed with news and about the sunflower planting schedule. Those who wish to contribute will be able to do so through a Facebook Causes page and possibly through a soon to be launched Kickstarter grant. In addition to the revitalization of downtown lots, this project furthers discussions with corporations and their role in supporting quality of life in the communities where they do business.

“The city can’t do everything. Businesses and people from the community need to make thing happen. We are at a tipping point in downtown Phoenix history,” says Dach. “This project could be done in a temporary way,” and when the time comes “there will always be places to move this project.”

This week the Diamondbacks followed it to a tee. It was critical for the D-backs to win both series this week – and that’s exactly what they did. After dropping the opener against Houston, the D-backs responded by winning the next six – including a weekend three-game sweep of the New York Mets. Taking six of seven to close the homestand propelled the D-backs into first place in the NL West. What a difference a week makes When the week began, the Diamondbacks were still a half game back in pursuit of the San Francisco Giants. Now the D-backs have a two-game lead and plenty of momentum heading into a difficult, long road trip. The D-backs will have to play extremely well on the road in order for the two-game cushion to hold up. The road trip starts with three games in Philadelphia and Atlanta, then wraps up with a four-game series in Washington against the Nationals. Fortunately, the Giants will spend the week on the road as well with a four games in Atlanta followed by three in Houston. It will be interesting to see if the D-backs can stay hot on the road and also continue to dominate the NL East. So far on the season the D-backs are 32-27 on the road and 14-8 versus NL East opponents. The next 10 days will tell a lot about how the remainder of the season will play out. D-backs dramatic win on Thursday was Golden The Diamondbacks win on Thursday night could prove to be one of the turning points in the season. In many ways, the Houston Astros put up more of a fight in the four-game series than expected. The Astros came into the series sporting by far the worst record in the majors. Houston responded by winning the series opener handily on Monday night. On Tuesday the D-backs needed a heroic comeback to pull off the victory. After a convincing win Wednesday, the D-backs appeared to be finding their grove once again. The D-backs came into game four on Thursday with a chance to extend their NL West lead to a full game with a win. A loss would mean only salvaging a disappointing split in the series and drop the D-backs into a tie with the idle San Francisco Giants. Once again the D-backs found themselves trying to dig themselves out of a deep hole. The D-backs were down 5-1 heading into the bottom of the 8th inning. After pushing two runs across in the 8th, the D-backs came to bat in the bottom of the 9th still chasing two runs. With two outs and a runner on, rookie Paul Goldschmidt was called on to pinch hit. Actually, he was called on to hit a miraculous two-run home run to tie the game – and somehow he delivered. Goldschmidt crushed a 2-2 pitch off the façade near Friday’s Front Row that tied the game. Quite a remarkable feat for a player making his first appearance as a pinch hitter, playing in only his ninth big league game and doing so during a pennant chase. Not often do you see a player square up a ball like that under such dramatic circumstances. The D-backs went on to win the game with a walk-off, three-run homer by Chris Young in the 10th inning, ending one of the most exciting and important games of the season. The D-backs wrapped up a 3-1 series win and headed into Friday with a one game lead in the division. ]]> 15779 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/15/greening-grand-avenue/ Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:31:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15790 Grand Avenue Becoming a Greener Avenue Lower Grand Avenue is about to become a little greener now that Phoenix has been selected as one of five cities by the Partnership for Sustainable Communities to participate in the 2011 Greening America’s Capitals program. The Partnership for Sustainable Communities began in 2010 as an interagency partnership between EPA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to identify three to five capital cities per year seeking to redevelop vacant and underutilized inner-city land in an economically, environmentally sustainable way.

“America’s cities can be the engines of green innovation, leading the way in new technologies, energy efficiency and sustainable development,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “EPA and our colleagues in the Partnership for Sustainable Communities are working with capital cities throughout the country to spark the sustainable, green innovations that can meet the needs of multiple communities, and keep our cities on the cutting edge of the global green economy.”

Breaking from the grid system of Phoenix, Grand Avenue cuts diagonally northwest away from the Downtown core between the Oakland and F.Q. Story historic neighborhoods, is adjacent to University and Woodland Parks, and is near the State Capitol. In short, Lower Grand Avenue is brimming with potential and possibilities. The Greening America’s Capitals project will help continue to build upon the revitalization efforts and sustainability success that Lower Grand Avenue has already achieved by improving the streetscape, exploring options to capture and treat storm water runoff as well as possible improvements to pedestrian crossings, transit shelters, and bike paths. Growing up Grand Partnerships between the city and federal agencies, non-profits, the faith-based community, artists, small business owners, and developers have revitalized Grand Avenue from a collection of derelict buildings into an eclectic, funky part of town that is home to the Grand Avenue Festival as well as a focus for Art Detour and First Fridays. What has been missing according to the city is “a holistic shared vision” of development and that’s how Greening America’s Capitals helps: the program works with state capitals to envision and implement strategies to create sustainable communities that benefit the neighborhood, the economy, and the environment.

Greening America’s Capitals is not a grant, rather it “provides direct technical assistance to communities by working with private-sector experts and leveraging other partners, such as HUD and DOT, to consider implementation options.”

To apply, the city had to select an area no larger than a neighborhood, but an area that could demonstrate to the rest of the city, region, and state how sustainable design benefits the quality of life for neighborhoods and residents. One of the stated goals of the project is to be a “testing ground for broader, citywide actions such as changes to local codes and ordinances to better support sustainable growth and green building.” Once Lower Grand Avenue had been identified as a prime location for this project, the Planning and Development Department of the city submitted a Letter of Interest to EPA identifying the challenges and potential impacts a greener design would have on the surrounding areas. The city cited the issue of parking that could be remedied by alternative transportation options, including a streetcar and bike lanes. The city also identified the need for mixed-use buildings, preserving and adapting historic warehouses, and the need for affordable housing options while retaining the unique sense of place that local business owners, residents and artists have created. The capital cities of Alabama, Mississippi, Nebraska, and the District of Columbia were the other four cities chosen from 23 applicants. A team of regional urban designers, planners and landscape architects will be organized by EPA to provide the assistance to create and implement the vision of what green architecture and design can be in our unique, desert climate. Supporters of the project are many and include the Arizona Department of Transportation, Grand Avenue Merchants Association, Grand Avenue Rail Project, FQ Story Preservation Association, Neighborhood Ministries, Capitol Mall Association and Local Initiatives Support Corporation.]]> 15790 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/19/apollo-modified/ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:21:39 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15822 You Me and Apollo is playing a rare show on Saturday August 20, there’s no doubt that people need to go. Colorado native Cowles has a voice that resembles Luke Pickett. Sweet as a woman’s but with the growl of a man’s that makes women weak in the knees. His happy-go-lucky sound in the Modified is a killer combination. Like most artists, Cowles found an outlet through his music and writing passionate songs of life and the difficulties that come along with it. After living a year in Phoenix and going back to Colorado, local music label River Jones Music picked him up and released a five song EP. His influences include indie underground favorites Dr. Dog, who seem to never come to Phoenix, and Cold War Kids, who are paying Arizona a visit in September. Paired with guitar, soft drums and a beautiful vocal range, Cowles has completed his first full-length Cards and Cheats and celebrating this Saturday with Steff Koeppen and the Articles. After this show, Cowles is hitting the road on a west coast tour. He is currently putting together a band to leave in September including stops in Flagstaff, Tucson and San Diego. Before You Me and Apollo packs up the van and takes off, stop by the Modified. Downtowners will get a reminder of those cracking white painted walls covered in abstract, intricate art. Listen to “Coming Home in a Coffin” Show starts at 7pm and $8.          ]]> 15822 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/22/dbacks-digest-times-worst-times/ Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:55:28 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15842 Best of times Tuesday night was the high point of the season thus far for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Knowing they were facing one of their most difficult challenges of the season, the D-backs went into Philadelphia and beat Roy Halladay and the Phillies to start the road trip. Beating one of the game's elite pitchers in his home park was a tremendous accomplishment and went a long way towards legitimizing the Diamondbacks as a true contender. The win, coupled with a Giants loss, left the D-backs with a three and a half game lead atop the NL West – their largest of the season. This marked the first time when Arizona had reached a level of national credibility. Unfortunately, the stay in the luxury suite may have only lasted one day. Even in the win, there were signs that the good times might not continue rolling. Of course, a win is a win and you take the runs any way you can get them, but in the 3-2 victory, newcomer Lyle Overbay accounted for all three of the D-backs runs. At the time the Diamondbacks were streaking and facing a Cy Young-caliber starter, so it’s easy to dismiss the lack of production and assume the bats would eventually heat up. Worst of times The D-backs dropped the final two games in Philadelphia and were swept in a three-game series over the weekend in Atlanta. The five-game losing streak matches a season high – or low – for the D-backs. [caption id="attachment_15847" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Diamondbacks's bats were silenced by Atlanta"][/caption] Though the losses and lack of production are discouraging, it’s not the end of the world. The D-backs just need to keep battling and finding ways to scrap out victories like they’ve done all season. The D-backs are still clinging to a one and a half game lead in the division and the Giants are struggling and banged up. This week the Giants placed All-Star closer Brian Wilson on the DL in addition to highly publicized deadline acquisition Carlos Beltran and set-up man extraordinaire Sergio Romo. While the D-backs still have work to do on the road, the Giants are returning home for some very winnable games. Clearly the D-backs need to get back to their winning ways in Washington if they want to return home in first place. Someone please FedEx bats to Washington The D-backs are on the road, but unfortunately it appears they left their bats in Arizona. In the six road games this week, the D-backs are averaging only a run and a half per game. That’s just not going to get the job done. The pitching staff would need to be perfect in order to pull out a victory. The loss on Sunday was an unfortunate example. Josh Collmenter allowed only one run over seven innings, but ended up taking the 1-0 loss because his teammates couldn’t salvage a single run in the ballgame. The Washington Nationals shouldn’t be taken lightly, but they’re not on the same level as the Phillies and Braves. Hopefully the bat supply will be replenished in the nation’s capital and the D-backs can finish the road trip in impressive fashion.]]> 15842 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/23/ruben-gonzales/ Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:41:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15860 Monk3y Business One day in late 2008, Ruben Gonzales decided to buy a silk screen T-shirt printing set-up. Shortly after, the Downtown Phoenix resident and former cell-phone company employee started his own business, 11th Monk3y Apparel and Designs. He named it after his affinity for collecting stuffed monkeys throughout his lifetime and because the number 11 stuck out to him. He liked that the name sounded catchy but also that it was unique, which was exactly what he wanted his label to be.

“I think I’m pretty out of the norm at times so I wanted my clothing to be like that,” Gonzales says. “The meaning behind it was to be different, stand out, own your individuality and make whatever it is you wear unique to yourself.”

Before launching 11th Monk3y, Gonzales was part of the local breakdancing scene for about 19 years, and one of the reasons he wanted to start his business was to provide inexpensive clothing to other b-boys. Gonzales says he tries to keep his shirts priced between $10 and $20 and his jackets and sweatshirts between $25 and $35.

“I wanted (my clothes) to be affordable, and I wanted these kids to have cool gear and feel comfortable with what they’re rocking.”

In addition to designing clothes, Gonzales also builds bicycles and creates metal furnishings and artwork and anything else he can think of.

“Whatever I can imagine, I try to create just to see what it’s going to look like and if people like it, then I’ll usually make more and put them up for sale.”

Rising on Roosevelt Gonzales says that about 90 percent of his designs he creates himself, and that the other 10 percent are collaborative projects. But Gonzales has been teaming up with people in Downtown Phoenix to create more than just clothing. Less than two months ago, he and local artist Joseph “Sentrock” Perez went to a Roosevelt Row meeting at monOrchid to get to know other artists and downtown locals. The two men, who had already talked about how great it would be to someday open a shop together, were offered a place on Roosevelt Row that night. They chose to call their store The Rise Project, which was the name of Perez’s after-school program for students in the urban school district. The goal of the program was to teach students breakdancing, MC’ing, DJ’ing and graffiti art, and how to practice these elements of hip-hop with respect, Gonzales says. Gonzales says the name fit their new shop because they were “rising from nothing.” The original Rise Project had lost its funding but Perez was eager to continue it, so they decided to donate some of the proceeds from the shop to continue the program throughout the summer. [caption id="attachment_15876" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Photo by Kole Boetel"][/caption] Collaboration Continues Perez has decided to leave the shop to pursue other opportunities and Gonzales has joined forces with management consultant Dave “Bully” Bjorn and local artist Monica Robles to create a new project in the same building. Gonzales will continue using the space for 11th Monk3y, Bjorn will use it for his consulting firm and other projects, and Robles will use it as a studio for her artwork. While the three will use the space for their individual work, they also plan to collaborate on projects. Gonzales says he is interested in photography and that Robles has agreed to teach him more about it so that he can pursue it further. In return, he will be helping her put her artwork on T-shirts. Bjorn is going to help them with the business aspect of the space such as connecting with the right people, Gonzales says. Gonzales hopes the three of them will evolve their skills through the collaborative projects and hopes they will be able to create projects that give back to the community in some way. He also hopes the space itself will make people feel welcome, encourage community involvement and inspire people do something of their own.

“Our goal is to try to bring the community a little bit more to life ... make it feel like it’s a city where you can come, park your car and enjoy half your day.”

The Rise Project Pop-Up Shop closed its doors Monday and will reopen September 1 for a soft opening. Gonzales anticipates that by Third Friday, the entire space, which has not yet been named, will be functional and ready for a grand opening.]]> 15860 0 0 0 5974 http://dressmedowntown.wordpress.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/26/photo-blog/ Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:08:16 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=15950 Why am I blogging, you ask? Well, for starters, we here at DPJ would like you to know a little bit more about our staff of writers, editors, designers and photographers. Expect to hear what it takes to bring photos from the camera to the print product, and a few things in between. I'll tell ya what I like to shoot, how I shoot it and whatever else I can think of. The rundown on why my camera is a growth on my hand: I've been taking photos for about 25 years and have had the opportunity to shoot some amazing people, places, events and the like. Growing up in San Diego, I enjoyed shooting sunset photos over the Pacific Ocean, punks skateboarding, rock & roll shows, and whatever else crossed my eyes. Yeah, back when I was a teenager, I was that dork at the show, right in front of the band, camera in hand, with my flash blazing away. Annoying? Yes. Killer photos? Yes. I have learned so much about what the viewfinder sees and how to take an emotional photo. I still remember my instructors... "Remember your rule of thirds!" and "Your depth of field isn't very good. Make it better." I moved to Phoenix in '94 and until seven or eight years ago, everything was 35mm for me. I used my trusty Minolta X-7A until it died, so picking up the latest digital Canon and Nikon SLR was a dream come true. From there, I began shooting portraits and editorial style photos for Valley skin care companies, numerous events, products of all kinds, and of course, rock & roll shows. Needless to say, it has been a great ride. The latest stop on this trip is Downtown Phoenix Journal. Not only do I get to hit amazing restaurants to shoot food and drinks, and visit people and their homes on interviews, but I also have the pleasure of capturing images of buildings that make up our city's skyline. Learning about all these people and places is equally fab. I have a number of things to show and tell you, so stay tuned and check the DPJ blogs often.

The ticket prices are a bit high but believe me, it’s worth it. Don’t know who deadmau5 is? You’ve probably seen his famous symbol of the mouse head with big eyes and an even bigger smiling face somewhere around the Valley. It wasn’t until this past year that Joel Zimmerman’s stage name (pronounced dead mouse) became a house music fan’s must in their collection. Zimmerman, originally from Canada, started in 1990s but didn’t take off until mid 2000s with the start of his own label and the release of Get Scraped. His odd stage name came from when he discovered a dead mouse in his computer. Some way or another, he was known for this and became deadmau5. When single “Ghosts N Stuff” was released with Rob Swire on vocals, it was a necessity at parties, raves and to just dance to. His music is different and one-of-a-kind sound can be thanked by the computer technology he uses. He is no DJ, there are no CDs or records up on stage with him. He has complete control of everything coming out of the speakers. His shows have sold out all over Europe and the US and to add to his list headlined many festivals including Lollapalooza in Chicago earlier this month and playing at the 2010 Olympics. His live performances include guest vocalists and some of the biggest lights and lasers shows to hit the stage; they put Muse’s to shame. His live DVD recently came out of his show at Earl’s Court where 17,000 came out to watch him perform and he definitely delivered a once-in-a-lifetime show. Zimmerman’s live show includes his famous mouse mask that changes lights and colors throughout the set and some of the adventurous sounding progressive techno with ups and downs and breakdowns that will send chills through your spine. It’s an instant body reaction to lift your arms in the air and lift your legs to the music. Ticket prices at $50. Show starts at 7 p.m.      ]]> 15996 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/25/desert-artlab-brings-land-knowledge-phoenix/ Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:29:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16006 The Recactusization of Urban Phoenix What happens when a community loses touch with the native environment in which it is built? What does a city in the desert forfeit when knowledge of native ecology is sacrificed for freeways and sprawl? That’s the question posed in a new project from Desert ArtLAB, an initiative that explores the connections between ecology, culture and community. While working on his Masters thesis, Matthew Garcia developed the idea for Desert ArtLAB as a way to bridge the community, academia, and art. The most recent project, LAND Knowledge, brings together artists, activists, researchers and residents of Phoenix to plant cacti in vacant public spaces and document their efforts through photographs or videos.

“Ecology is an unbiased entry point for discussions about our identity as a city, our history and our culture,” Garcia says. “So many people who come to Phoenix have the attitude that they don’t know where they are because they look around the desert and see green grass. But we live in the desert, we should understand it. We have things here that no other city has and those are the things we should exploit.”

For this effort to promote the benefits of native ecology in urban Phoenix, Mayor Gordon awarded the title “Friend of Phoenix” to Desert ArtLAB on August 19, which he also designated as Community Cacti Planting Day. Artists and activists met at monOrchid where they received de-spined prickly pear cactus pads (or nopales) and given the charge to plant them in blighted, urban areas. The group kicked off the project by planting two large prickly pears on the south side of monOrchid. 80 cactus pads threaded with a small card displaying the Desert ArtLAB message “Ecology. Art. Action.” were distributed. An important component of the project is documentation. When a cactus pad is planted and reported to Desert ArtLABS, the location is plotted on an interactive map. The photo/video submissions will be included in a Spring 2012 Desert ArtLAB exhibit. Nature's Art Exhibit A prickly pear cactus is its own art exhibit- statuesque with green cylindrical pads covered in spines or tufts of glochids with waxy flower blossoms that add a splash of bright yellow or pink or deep red and orange hues next to clusters of bulbous red fruit. Like a work of art, it is something best left untouched.

“We chose this cactus because it’s a perfect symbol of the desert. They need very little but give so much back,” Garcia said.

This miracle plant is grown and harvested in other arid environments of the world. They require little maintenance or water and have been a food source since ancient times. The fleshy pad can be grilled or boiled and used in any recipe that calls for vegetables (try it in a taco or fajita!), the fruit is used to make jams and jellies while the sap is used in Mexico to make an alcoholic drink called colonche. A future phase of the LAND Knowledge project is to harvest the newly planted cacti to use in dishes for a community dinner. Garcia said they are using this project as a platform to create art, research, and activism. “We found an issue that people care about, and it’s a fun project. We are creating our own community initiative to show why the desert is special.” In September, Garcia will be presenting LAND Knowledge at George Mason University to share with others in academia how Phoenicians are reclaiming urban space through native ecology. Desert Art LAB is still distributing cactus pads to anyone who wants to take part in the project. Contact them through their website or on their Facebook page and start planting.]]> 16006 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/07/downtown-discovered-bite-time-native-assimilation/ Thu, 08 Sep 2011 01:33:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16040 (This article appeared on the June/July DPJ Mag) Welcome to Downtown Phoenix. The urban heart (and stomach) of an area 4 million strong. Whether eating soulful Mexican out of styrofoam and tinfoil from Carolina’s; skillful, inspired Japanese comforts from Nobuo at Teeter House; or, sanctified artisan pizza from Pizzeria Bianco, a contrasting roster of indulgent experiences exist to be unearthed, and digested. [caption id="attachment_16374" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Photo Courtesy Michael | Ruiz"][/caption] Discovering your new surroundings or re-exploring the neighborhood you call home, guidance can go along way. In the mood for hangouts popular for their locals-only appeal? Craving see-and-be-seen experiences, hitting destinations preyed upon by Downtown’s more self-aware? Or, are you one of those globe-trotting chowhounds on an immortal search for bucket-list worthy eating in every new city (or neighborhood) you visit? As more of a rough template than a step-by-step, exhaustive travel guide, we’ve assembled a light-footed list of notable and respected neighborhood institutions pointed by easy categorization. Pick and choose, mix and match, here are some ideas. Day One: Native Assimilation Forgo blatant tourist traps, event-driven sports bars and corporate outposts and spend the day with those who live and breath Downtown Phoenix on a daily basis. This is someone’s home, after all. Early Morning: Catch up on e-mails and morning caffeine deprivation at Royal at the Market, the cockpit-sized coffee bar tucked toward the rear of the Phoenix Public Market’s indoor grocery. Understated, high-design meets some of the best coffee in the city, roasted in-house daily. Mid-Morning: Great any hour of the day, opt for a late breakfast at the original Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles for Phoenix’s best known (and best tasting) example of the classic soul food combination. Lunch: Did you arrive thinking premium-sourced seafood couldn’t be found in the desert? Trek a few miles north to Uptown and reset your thinking at Hana Japanese Eatery, a compact neighborhood sushi spot dedicated to pitch-perfect, seafaring goodness. Afternoon: Even the natives enjoy their late-afternoon libations. For a chilled brew consider The Main Ingredient Ale House. Located in the quirky Coronado Historic District, TMI (as locals have affectionately chopped it) offers a wide range of beers, craft and known, alongside elevated pub grub favorites. Dinner: Go casual, go pizza. Though Downtown Phoenix has no shortage of exceptional pizza, locals frequently by-pass more traveled paths for something more mellow, though no-less delicious. At home in the historic Roosevelt neighborhood, Cibo Pizzeria is gem dedicated to artisan pies constructed with superior ingredients. Late-Night: Hankering for a place habituated by Downtown’s tried-and-true? Begin casually at the Lost Leaf, a personable beer and wine address flooded nightly with artists, musicians and other locals searching for an informal night-cap. Got a buzz and feeling adventurous? Polish the night at Phoenix’s quintessential dive bar (and last-standing tiki bar) the Bikini Lounge. A little off the beaten path along Grand Avenue, expect no-nonsense bartenders, stiff pours and dirt-cheap tabs.]]> 16040 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/26/pacifico-adventures-tap-roundup/ Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:09:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16046 (Pacifico invited the DPJ to the HoodRide party AND gave everyone there a head-mounted GoPro.) After five cities, five distinct kegs and a summer of really cool stories, Pacifico Adventures on Tap finally made it back home. They swung by Downtown Phoenix in early July to stop at Derrick Pacheco's HoodRide long enough to create one helluva mural and customized Phoenix keg. Notice the tasty taco ingredients they were chopping up there? Yeah, they were serving carne asada street tacos all night. But back to the keg. Designed by native Arizonan Brooke Grucella, the Phoenix keg was the first created. In a time when advertising is either interrupting what we're doing or forcing us to wait 30 seconds to watch a video, it's refreshing to see a brand eschew traditional techniques and go right to where their fans are. Here's to you, Pacifico, glad to see you're on tap. You're welcome back in Downtown Phoenix any time. Next one is on us.]]> 16046 0 0 0 5964 http://tdhurst.com 5963 205 5963 http://www.gilbertrealestateguide.com/ 0 0 5978 http://www.BeerPHXation.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/29/dbacks-digest-poised-pennant-chase/ Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:02:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16068 Swept past under the rug Last week the D-backs were swept in Atlanta, then dropped the first game of a four-game series in Washington, pushing their longest losing streak of the season to six games. In the process, their lead in the NL West was cut to a single game. The comfortable cushion that the D-backs built had nearly evaporated seemingly overnight. With three games remaining on the road trip, the season was clearly at a turning point. Fortunately for D-back fans, the snakes were able to put the losing streak to rest in pursuit of a sweep of their own. Kennedy for President The D-backs took the field Tuesday night in the nation’s capital with ace Ian Kennedy on the mound. This was a game that the D-backs needed to win to squash the losing streak and preserve their standing atop the NL West. Kennedy ensured the victory by pitching seven scoreless innings. The win got the D-backs back on the winning path and they haven’t lost since. After winning their final three games against the Nationals, Arizona returned home and pulled off a three game sweep of the San Diego Padres. Capped off with another Ian Kennedy victory pushing his record on the season to 17-4, a number that should keep Kennedy in the Cy Young conversation. Impressive streak The current six-game winning streak has helped the D-backs push their division lead back up to four with only 28 games remaining in the season. During the streak, the D-backs have played sound, fundamental baseball, highlighted by the starters being the pitcher of record in all six wins. This is significant because it’s an indication that the games have gone according to plan. The starters have pitched effectively and deep into games. The batters are getting runs early enough to allow the starters to pitch with a lead. Finally, relievers are coming in and shutting the door. That’s how the game is supposed to be played. This is a script worth repeating over and over again. Out with the old. In with the new. The D-backs said goodbye to Kelly Johnson and hello to Aaron Hill and John McDonald. Second baseman Kelly Johnson was sent to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for a pair of veteran infielders. Aaron Hill is having a comparable year to Johnson. Both have been underperforming thus far, but a change of scenery can often revitalize a player’s performance. Hopefully that will be the case with Aaron Hill and the D-backs. Hill is only a year removed from a monster season where he had 195 hits with 36 home runs and 108 RBIs. Hill displayed some of that power potential on Sunday afternoon when he hit a two run homer against the Padres. McDonald was brought in to help fill the void at shortstop in the absence of Stephen Drew. Both players are undoubtedly excited about joining the pennant chase and should be embraced by D-back fans.]]> 16068 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/29/drug-wars-indie-style/ Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:03:38 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16094 Fairmont Pharmacy closes in on its first year in business next month, co-owner Greg Roller believes they've found the prescription for success: Get to know all your customers by name; make sure you have what they need, when they need it; and embed yourself in the community you serve.

“This is a hip neighborhood and people really want to support local businesses,” said Roller, speaking of the Uptown Phoenix location, on Central Ave., nestled next to Practical Art. “And there are people who have been here forever.”

At a time when local stores are enjoying a surge of popular support, Fairmont, a member of the Leader independent pharmacies network, still has its work cut out for it. It is the David to the Goliaths of the likes of Walgreen's and CVS, which clearly dominate the market. The perception is that the chains can get better pricing, but Roller insists that is not the case.

“It is very, very easy to compete price-wise with them and, in some cases, we're almost too low,” he told the Downtown Phoenix Journal. “With prescription drugs, the co-pays are the same.”

Part of the problem, he said, is that the big insurance companies have policies that tend to favor the chains. “We're getting together as independents and fighting back more and more,” he said. Roller knows all too well what it's like on both sides of the aisle: he earned his stripes as a CVS employee and was involved with another independent pharmacy in Phoenix that eventually was sold to CVS. But he has found, time and time again, that the independent route is the most alluring for him.

“A pharmacist does not just dispense a pill,” he said emphatically. “It's about developing relationships and getting to know customers holistically.”

That relationship is what has convinced Lindsey Bair, a vocal teacher who lives near the store's Medlock Place neighborhood, to switch to Fairmont.

“This place changed my life," said Bair, shaking her head, blue highlights accenting her dark tresses. “I had been complaining about going to the 'Big Man'--it was horrible-- and was told about this place by a nurse practitioner I had worked with. They always have my stuff, they are super friendly—and they know my name,” she said.

Another customer, a nurse who asked to be identified only as Sandy S. because she works in the area, noted, “It's lovely in here—really different. It reminds me of what drug stores would have looked like back in the day.” At first blush, the product offerings look familiar to the larger chains as a visitor wanders through the store: teeth- whitening strips, allergy medicines, contact lens solutions. But there is also a pet section with unique items like biodegradable dog bags, and a wide selection of liquid herbal extracts and homeopathic remedies. There is also an extensive selection of home health care products, from wheelchairs to lumbar back cushions and bathtub safety rails. Roller, who own the business along with three partners, said that almost all their advertising to date has been word of mouth. While over the winter business was increasing by 30-40% month over month, not unexpectedly, things have slowed down quite a bit over the summer. He's hoping that back-to-school business will rev things up again. In the meantime, he is looking forward to continuing his relationships with health-care related businesses, such as the neighboring Phoenix Skin, and expanding the customer base by offering quarterly educational seminars on health-related topics. And as for birthday celebrations, Roller is thinking fairly low-key: maybe a birthday cake and, of course, an invite to all the neighbors.]]> 16094 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/29/5-monsoon-meal-deal-oakville-grocery-today-monday-829/ Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:52:27 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16117 (Ripped straight from our inbox, from Melissa Rein) [caption id="attachment_16118" align="alignright" width="280" caption="Image courtesy of Phoenix Business Journal"][/caption]As the summer comes to a close, Oakville Grocery in downtown Phoenix is offering its last Monsoon Meal Deal of the season and this one's a doozy.

ALAC's First Friday festivities take place at the Center, located at 147 E. Adams in Downtown Phoenix.

“This is exactly what the Center's group of founders envisioned when we dreamed of what a Latino cultural center in Phoenix would do for the Latino community,” said Ruben Hernandez, ALAC board member. “These prestigious artists from Mexico will be points of pride for Arizona Mexicans and Mexican Americans. And the bi-national exchange will enrich the cultural lives of all residents of Arizona, and visiting tourists."

Juan Chawuk, a Tojolobal Maya painter, sculptor, photographer and installation artist, will be at ALAC Friday 6 to 10 p.m. Chawuk has had solo exhibitions at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Latino Arts in Milwaukee, Prospectus Gallery in Chicago, and the Coyoacan Cultural Center. He was named the best painter in Chiapas in 2009.

“Latino arts and culture is quite 'in' today,” affirmed Linda Torres, ALAC's founding president, who said that partnerships such as the one they've forged with Artlink, have helped get the word out. “People are understanding that it's not just Latino art—we also represent Chicano and indigenous art.”

The three-month visiting artist series is co-sponsored by the CALA Alliance and the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. ALAC also will premiere the artwork of Phoenix artist Carlos Navarrete, who is originally from Lagunillas, Oaxaca. Maria Rodriguez will be reciting her poetry and Ballet Folklorica will be dancing. In addition, Teatro Bravo will be performing a scene from “Frida.” Marcelino Quiñonez, ALAC First Friday coordinator and a Arizona State University theater instructor, will be the Master of Ceremonies for this Friday's night of Latino art and culture. Also sponsoring the ALAC CALA Festival and First Friday events are Salt River Project, The Consulate of Mexico in Phoenix, Latino Perpectives Magazine () and La Voz, Arizona.  ]]> 16137 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/08/30/vote-today/ Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:02:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16158 go vote today.

Growing up, laughter was a central part of my family unit (I refrain from disclosing if I was being laughed at or laughed with). Laughter helps us take a mental break from the crazy or the mundane, highlighting a moment of irony with a hearty chuckle. A fan of sitcoms, I Love Lucy was one of my ultimates; South Park and The Office come close behind. But the best sort of comedy was exchanging quips with my goofy theater pals in high school, passing the time with random games from “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Yes, laughter held us all together. And today, still does. For you lovers of laughter--or if you don’t have funny friends--where can you get your healthy dose of valley mirth and merriment? You may be surprised to know that you have a few choices. I welcome you to the world of local laughs with top-notch comedy clubs, many of which just recently opened their doors. Local Homegrown Improv--for the kiddies: National Comedy Theater If you want some wholesome laughs for the family, head east to the National Comedy Theater (yes, I went there with my parents.) These funny troupe teams know how to put on a good show and interact with the audience with a variety of suggestions and games. Intimate Improv Downtown--finally open!: The Torch Theatre This style of improv is fun, fast, and truly unpredictable. I had the pleasure of visiting The Torch Theatre during its opening weekend. The place was packed and full of great energy, not to mention a wide variety of troupes and performers who were on top of their comedy game. For those daring to get a dose of Comedy 101, you can take a free improv class the first Tuesday of every month. Aside for their racy style of humor, I love that this small and mighty improv theatre is so integrated in Phoenix culture--yes, Phoenix has culture. It’s worth stopping in. Stand Up Comedy--also new to the scene: Stand Up Live Located in the midst of the action, Stand Up Live brings the biggest and best comedians to town. No, it’s not the local kids but, these guys (and gals) got their start somewhere. A past weekend highlighted none other than the man himself, Steve-O from the beloved Jackass / Wildboy series. He offended, mocked and shocked the crowd, not missing a beat. It was glorious. Did he do any stunts during his act? Let me put it this way. He recently took up Pilates and can do amazing things with a cup… So, while we face the whirlwind of our lives and our world, don’t forget to take a break and have a laugh--even if it's at your own expense.]]> 16184 0 0 0 5980 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/01/japandroids-invade-downtown/ Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:07:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16200 Japandroids are coming this Monday to the Trunk Space. After their 2009 release Post-Nothing, they are taking a small tour and unveiling some new songs along the way from their new LP. Their raw garage rock sound is paired with cute lyrics about relationships and Bikini Island. The lyrics are short and sweet but paired with epic two to three minute jam sessions that make them a borderline instrumental band. Guitarist Brian King and drummer David Prowse met over a decade ago but didn’t start writing and recording together until 2006. Their band name was developed by two different bands names they chose: Japanese Scream and Pleasure Droids. They morphed both together, coming up with what they are known for now. They hit the Vancouver scene with no recognition or help from any promoters. They decided to do everything themselves from flyers to renting a PA system for their shows. Two years later, they started recording their debut album. After being stuck in the same place, they decided to call it quits once their last scheduled shows were done. What they never intended was getting known and discovered by that one, eight-song album. In a little over half a year, they released Post-Nothing, signed and were named “Best New Music” by Pitchfork. King and Prowse’s edgy, noise rock was growing in the states. They’ve been touring all over the world ever since hitting up South by Southwest, CMJ Music Marathon and various other festivals. Right before they play in Phoenix, the young curly haired duo will make a pit stop at FYF Fest alongside Death from Above 1979, Explosions in the Sky and others. Japandroids decided to do this small tour for the fans and to think they picked the Trunk Space to play is an honor. Tickets are $12, doors open at 7:30 p.m. Bass Drum of Death opens up the show.        ]]> 16200 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/01/dwayne-allens-summer-vacation/ Thu, 01 Sep 2011 16:15:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16206 The Breadfruit and Rum Bar owner Dwayne Allen may have you beat.

The Lab, which is replacing The Rise Project Pop-Up Shop, will feature the work of local artist Monica Robles for its First Friday soft opening. Less than two months ago, Ruben Gonzales of 11th Monk3y Apparel and Designs and Joseph “Sentrock” Perez, founder of The Rise Project youth hip-hop program, opened the pop-up shop and gallery. Perez has decided to pursue other opportunities, so Gonzales has teamed up with Robles and management consultant Dave “Bully” Bjorn to create a new collaborative space. Gonzales will continue to use the space to display and sell his clothing, Robles will use it as her studio and gallery, and Bjorn will use it as an office for his consulting firm. While the three will continue with their individual work, they also plan to collaborate on projects. Robles says she is going to help Gonzales with photography and he may help her put some of her artwork onto T-shirts. She is also interested in learning about his metal work and possibly integrating it with her own artwork, she says. Robles taught herself to sketch when she was young, but she immersed herself in advanced math classes in high school. It wasn’t until around 10 years ago when she was studying at the University of Arizona that she became more serious about art.

“That’s when I really got into it and that’s when I started developing my own style,” she says. “From there I just really enjoyed it and it’s what I wanted to do.”

Robles started with painting, then branched out into graphic design, which she obtained her degree in, and photography. Now she does mixed media artwork, combining various art forms, and her creations have been displayed at Produce Gallery, Paper Art Gallery, Kitchen Sink Studios and other galleries throughout the Valley. Until now, Robles has worked out of her home. The Lab will be her first real art studio.

“I’m just very excited about this whole thing,” she says. “It’s a new chapter. It’s what I’ve been wanting to do for such a long time.”

Robles, who is originally from Yuma, lived in Scottsdale for a while after she graduated but spent most of her time in Downtown Phoenix because she liked the atmosphere and the crowd.

“The culture and the people down here are just amazing, and there is so much creativity,” she says. “I just fell in love with downtown and that’s why I worked my hardest to kind of migrate my way down here.”

She moved downtown about one month ago and joined up with Gonzales and Bjorn to open the collaborative space, explaining that "everything panned out perfectly." Robles won’t be the only artist displaying her work throughout the space. She plans to rotate artists as part of The Lab's mission to get the community involved and has already been reaching out to some. Robles says she wants other artists to have a place where they feel comfortable showing their work because when she first started, she didn't know where to begin displaying her projects.

”I’m just excited to be more involved with the community ... and just have a space to actually work with other creative people.”

When the ale house opens early in 2012 near Roosevelt Row it will be helping to fill in some of the missing gaps in our urban fabric. So what else does downtown still need? What other pieces of the urban puzzle are missing? This list is by no means exhaustive; these ideas are just a few of the possibilities that would continue to make downtown more vibrant and enjoyable. 1) A downtown bookstore Contrary to popular belief, bookstores are not going extinct. Borders Books closed because it was a big-box chain unable to compete. Overpriced merchandise and huge overhead costs didn’t help. Mom and pop bookstores remain a community asset, a gathering place to discuss ideas, meet authors, participate in workshops, and chat with booksellers/neighbors/friends about the books you’ve read. Could the Downtown Phoenix community sustain and benefit from such a business? Absolutely. 2) A downtown dessert restaurant If you’re like most Phoenicians you’ve probably been to San Diego at least once this year and chances are you’ve been to Extraordinary Desserts. But where can Phoenicians go for the same quality and selection of tasty treats? Our own Tammie Coe Cakes bakes some sweet pastries and other goodies, but the Roosevelt location has only a small café with limited seating while the Arcadia location has none. Downtown needs a dessert restaurant, they make for a fine first date, or any reason really. Who doesn’t like dessert? 3) A downtown dog park Yup, we still need one. The city formed an 80+ member Ad Hoc Dog Park Committee earlier this year. (Honestly, what other committee has that many members?) The Dog Park Committee made a recommendation for a downtown location that was ignored. Instead, the downtown dog park will be in Hance Park, a location the nearby neighbors objected to, which still leaves the downtown residents who are south of Hance Park without any off-leash green space for their four-legged companions. 4) A downtown vegetarian restaurant Don’t let the word “vegetarian” send you running for a T-bone steak. Green New American Vegetarian in Tempe prepares food with lots of fresh vegetables and organic ingredients to create pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and noodle bowls all of which can be enjoyed by non-vegetarians. 
5) A Whiskey Bar There is no shortage of fantastic bars downtown with the word “bar” in the name, Rum Bar, Bar Smith, Side Bar, FilmBar, Bliss/reBar, but we are lacking a bar dedicated to one of the West's most beloved spirits- a whiskey bar. Denver, Colorado has one. And while we’re at it, why not a dedicated tequila bar for the West's other favorite spirit! Word on the street is the Rasputin Vodka Bar is still slated for CityScape. At least we are on the right track.]]> 16318 0 0 0 5990 0 0 5991 5990 0 6006 0 0 6024 6012 0 6026 http://tdhurst.com 6024 0 6028 6026 0 6020 http://dressmedowntown.wordpress.com 0 0 6007 0 0 6012 http://tdhurst.com 6007 205 6725 http://www.closeshawneebarkparknow.org 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/05/dbacks-digest-nl-west-wrapped/ Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:31:39 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16330 National League West wrapped up? It’s a bit premature to declare the Diamondbacks champions of the NL West just yet. However, it would take a colossal collapse to allow the Giants to creep back into contention. The D-backs are fresh off a series win in San Francisco that built their division lead to seven games. With only 22 games remaining in the regular season, the countdown to the division championship is very much under way. Even if the D-backs only played .500 ball for the remainder of the season, the Giants would have to finish with a 18-4 run just to pull even – a feat far-fetched for a team that has struggled since the All-Star break. The two teams match up once more for a three-game weekend series at Chase Field. For the Giants to have any chance to overtake the D-backs, they would have to sweep that series. Peaking at the right time The D-backs traveled to San Francisco with a six-game lead in the division while riding an impressive nine-game winning streak. The D-backs dropped the opener on Friday night, snapping the winning streak and closing the division lead to five. Saturday showcased an impressive matchup of aces when the D-backs and Ian Kennedy faced off against Tim Lincecum and the Giants. Ian Kennedy once again came out on top - further enhancing his already impressive Cy Young resume and pushing the division lead back to six games. The rubber game on Sunday represented an opportunity to breathe life back into the Giants' playoff hopes. Instead, the D-backs rallied late in the contest and cruised to a convincing series-clinching win. The D-backs left town with a seven-game cushion as division leaders. With less than a month to go in the season, it’s encouraging that the D-backs are building their lead and do not appear content just trying to protect the lead. The goal now should be continuing the aggressive play with hopes of wrapping up the NL West with at least a week or so remaining. Then the D-backs would have the luxury of setting their rotation for the playoffs and resting players. There’s also the possibility that the D-backs could be within a few games of improving their playoff position. Make it hurt One theme that drew a lot of attention throughout the week was the frequency that Justin Upton was hit by a pitch. J-Up is among the league leaders in the painful category. The situation does bring up some interesting discussions. It’s hard for fans to sit back and watch the star player get abused over and over again, without the satisfaction of seeing some sort of retaliation. It’s unfair and unwise for Upton to charge the mound, taking matters into his own hands. He is the leader of this team, they can’t afford to live without him and his team is in the midst of a playoff chase. It’s really up to his teammates to have his back. Of course, there’s always the likelihood that a D-backs pitcher will plunk someone on the opposing team but again, the timing has to be right. Especially likely in the National League when pitchers have to take the plate themselves. For now, the D-backs seem content using Ws as their retaliation method of choice. As much as it would be nice to see someone pay a price for throwing at J-Up, ultimately winning the division and playing with class is a higher priority. Or they can just do what Miguel Montero did on Wednesday night. With J-Up grimacing at first base, Montero launched a three-run homer deep into the seats in right field. That’s the best way to make em pay.]]> 16330 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/08/downtown-discovered-bite-time-day-town/ Thu, 08 Sep 2011 14:07:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16042 (Catch up with this three-part series by reading Day One) Day Two: Taking the Town Sometimes it feels good to get gussied up, and actually have somewhere to go. Pack your Sunday best, or your Friday night armor? These spots will guarantee that you not only find great eating and drinking, but that you also tap into Downtown Phoenix's more brassy vein; places to not only see, but yes: be seen. Early Morning: Though known mutually for their pulse-warming, house-roasted java, Midtown’s Lux Central is also willingly understood as one of the most conspicuous coffee shops in the city. Daylight hours are eternally packed with right-brains and hungry creatives both primped and carefully disheveled. Mid-Morning: Want breakfast that won’t cramp your existential desires to pounce around town? Known for wallet-friendly takes on Mexican street foods as well as traditional breakfast classics done well, Gallo Blanco Cafe, located inside Midtown’s hip Clarendon Hotel, proves a hangout for locals and visitors alike looking for edible relief within snappy surroundings. Lunch: Central Phoenix’s groomed often gravitate toward St. Francis for self-conscious dining in a well-designed habitat. From power lunches to ladies lunches, St. Francis gives good face to modern American comfort foods and vamped cocktails. Happy-Hour: Few places draw larger happy hour crowds (not to mention some of the best-looking happy hour crowds), than Postino Central. Customized bruschetta spreads have become whims of legend, and with an efficient selection of wines by the glass (or bottle), Postino Central has become a late-afternoon magnet for glossy hob-knobbers and post-work professionals dressed effortlessly well. Looking for something just as hip, but possibly a hue more masculine? Try the Vig Uptown for daily happy hour specials and creative bar food in a cool, mid-century space that impresses all persuasions. Dinner: Snagging a table at Pizzeria Bianco is one of life’s great accomplishments―especially if you’ve never been to Phoenix before. Plan ahead, be patient and welcome a pour at adjacent Bar Bianco while you’re wait ticks by. Continually voted, baptized, shouted, “the best pizza (insert point of geography here),” Pizzeria Bianco sincerely serves glorious pizza. Late-Night: Downtown’s in-crowd beckons come twilight at local watering holes Hanny’s and the Roosevelt Tavern. Take your pick, or by all means, hit both―it can always be that type of night. Hanny’s is spartan and urbane; Roosevelt Tavern brooding and low-key. The former known for well-crafted swills, the latter for its wide range of wines and brew.]]> 16042 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/12/downtown-discovered-bite-time-day-3-chowhound/ Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:28:44 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16044 (This is the last of a three-part series from our food editor's perspective as he explored Downtown Phoenix. Be sure to catch up with Day One and Day Two.) Day 3: Chowhound Sometimes you travel to sightsee, sometimes for occupational mandates, sometimes, frankly for the food. Just scratching the surface, below exist common hangouts institutionalized by their exceptional food, as well as easy gateways into Phoenix’s ever-present (if not always overt) multi-cultural fabric. Early Morning: Even traveling food nerds require caffeine, and Giant Coffee delivers. With its collection of superlative pastries and premium-sourced beans, Giant satisfies food-focused inclinations with ease. Breakfast: No breakfast in Phoenix would be complete without a visit to Matt’s Big Breakfast. Destination Number One for breakfast hunters far and wide, jewel box sized Matt’s eternally draws for their airy omelettes, husky waffles and varieties of ernest scrambles. Lunch: Duo of plausible directions: Middle Eastern, or Mexican (you are in Phoenix, after all). Baiz Market, a sequestered specialty foods market that draws ardent fans from a wide radius, offers its in-house Al-Hana Restaurant for pitch-perfect pita (made daily in-house), shawarma and Middle Eastern baked goods galore. For a taste of Arizona’s more pronounced food heritage, showcasing the state’s most known and indigenous example of Mexican eating (often referred to as Sonoran-style) Carolina’s shines. A workhorse housed in modest digs, Carolina’s has served its signature red chile and homemade tortillas to crownds for over half a century. Dinner: Didn’t decide on Mexican for lunch? Go Barrio Cafe for dinner. Rich, contemporary takes on regional Mexican cooking come to play at this perpetually popular Midtown outpost. From the margaritas to the mole, to the tableside guacamole and melting cochinita pibil, Barrio is a must-stop. Otherwise, cap off your food-friendly day with a meal worthy of all hyperbole. James Beard Award-winning chef Nobuo Fukuda, and his distinguished Japanese cooking cued with modern American quirks, glisten at the quaint, buzzing Downtown hotspot Nobuo at Teeter House. Up for a splurge? The reservations-only, 4-seat-only omakase (chef’s choice) dining experience, chaperoned by the master technician and artist himself, is arguably one of the best meals in Phoenix. Late-Night: Looking for something different? Try the engaging, mellow RumBar at the Breadfruit for its studious, 100-plus catalog of specialty rums, well-crafted rum-based cocktails, authentic daiquiris and mojitos built with just-squeezed citrus and natural sweeteners.]]> 16044 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/09/rhythm-rooms-celebrating-acoustic-style/ Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:26:27 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16383 The Rhythm Room is celebrating their two decades in the Valley with a show. Duh, of course. They have hosted everyone from small local bands to Cursive to up-and-comers Wye Oak and everyone in-between. Although The Rhythm Room has grown outside of blues genre, it was born under those roots. Owner Bob Corritore moved to Phoenix in 1981, known best for his way with a harmonica. Ten years later, he opened up The Rhythm Room. It has now grown into Downtown Phoenix’s source of soul and a great, down-to-earth show. The smoky, dark feeling inside eases you into whomever you’re going to see. With the stage just an arm’s length away, it gives you the intimate feeling that no other venue does in Arizona. It’s no wonder people love to grab a beer and watch a show from their various tables and stools. Wednesday will kick off a stream of anniversary shows for the venue. An acoustic, indie and local line-up is in store to start things. Starting off the show is Matthew Reveles, who has a down South rooted sound including banjo, harmonica and acoustic guitar. Just think Murder By Death meets Bright Eyes style. Following Reveles is Michelle Blades, who shows that age doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to writing a song. She comes armed with a ukulele and beautiful vocal range that makes your jaw drop. ROAR is next with a more Animal Collective style which acoustic may be something you’ll never get a chance to see again. Fitigo and dreamesque, experimental band Sweetbleeders help close up the show while Dry River Yacht Club ends the night. So yes, you read this all correctly, six bands for almost $1 each. The show is $8 and bring some cake if you really want to get festive. Just don’t forget the candles. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.  ]]> 16383 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/09/scattershot-go-loco-local-phoenix/ Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:07:16 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16396 [caption id="attachment_16397" align="aligncenter" width="640" caption="Cibo Pizzeria in Downtown Phoenix (courtesy of Nick Bastian of RailLife.com"][/caption] Disclosure: Any person, entity, organization, operation, or business that I mention down below is most likely one that I’ve worked with, been affiliated with, or have been a fan of at some point in the history of human beings. So, take what I say with a grain of salt, but I recommend adding some lemon pepper for maximum tastiness. If you’re reading this on Downtown Phoenix Journal, you’re probably well aware of the benefits of going local. You might even be a big supporter and advocate of spending your money with local, independent businesses or locally founded chains (Harkins Theatres, holla!). If you like to make it rain locally, throw your hands in the air and wave them like you actually, really care! Local First Arizona has done an amazing job over the past eight years of raising the general public’s awareness of the difference it makes to spend your dollars locally. Long story short: money spent at locally owned businesses and companies has a greater positive impact on the local economy than money spent with national chains. That makes sense, right? What’s been great about the increased awareness of going local is that it’s spurred Phoenicians to look beyond the national chain mainstays of the strip malls of America for their dinner time plans. So, we might opt for La Condesa or America’s over Taco Bell, or Cibo over Olive Garden. Not only will the fare be one million, trillion, gazillion times better, but we can feel good that more of those dollars will circulate around our own community instead of being vacuumed out to corporate headquarters. The buck shouldn’t just stop, though, with what we feed our bellies. What about what we feed our minds, you guys? There are numerous and amazing options for local arts and entertainment every night of the week and when you talk about the weekend, they absolutely balloon. It really kills me when people say that there’s nothing to do in Phoenix. It makes me feel like whoever has said such a thing is from Oppositeland, where they say things that are the opposite of the truth. It makes me want to hug them - in Oppositeland. What if people were as adamant about going local with their arts and entertainment as they are with where they shop and dine? [caption id="attachment_16400" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The Unhappiness Plays by Space 55"][/caption] Stray Cat Theatre, while not in the Greater Downtown area, has been putting on fantastic and provocative productions using talented local actors for nearly 10 years. Space 55 Theater is dedicated to producing works from new and emerging playwrights, including local folks, and this past summer took their production of The Unhappiness Plays to the New York International Fringe Festival. The Brelby Theatre Company is in its third year and their take on Alice in Wonderland, Alice’s Canvas: The Wonderland Exhibition, starts its two week run on Friday, October 28th, at the Playhouse on the Park (across the street from Phoenix Art Museum).

There are plenty of other theatres, too, but just focusing on these three, I get more excited hearing about what they’re doing than I do than when I hear that there’s another touring production of Wicked coming to town.Nothing against Wicked, its talented cast, or its producers (who I like to imagine spending most of their days swimming in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck), but it’s always weird to me when people seem to value touring Broadway musicals over locally produced fare. That said, going to see Wicked, a live theatrical production, would be totally more exciting than the latest Hollywood blockbuster or spending the night at home watching DVDs. I think we can all agree that there's an intergalactic conspiracy to assuage us into compliance and to separate us from our friends and loved ones by having us sit in a room and stare at a screen. In any case, all of the local theatres I mentioned are filled with artists who have made the choice to create their art here in the valley instead of assuming that our city isn’t a place for challenging, innovative, and new works. Their bootstrapping, indie attitudes are a lot closer than you might think to the theatres that make San Francisco, Chicago, and New York great theatre towns. There’s more than enough local art and entertainment events in Phoenix to support as much as you might support local restaurants and businesses. How do I know? A) ShowUp.comhas scads of events in their listings. B) I’ve come to the end of this column without even touching upon all of the other great arts and entertainment going on in Phoenix.So, what are you doing tonight? What are you doing this weekend? I'm not hitting on you (though, I'm sure you're totally fun); I'm just wondering how you're keeping it real and getting crazy with keeping it local when you hit the town. Let me know! --- Jose Gonzalez is one of the founders of The Torch Theatre, where he performs and teaches longform improv comedy & theatre, a producer of the annual Phoenix Improv Festival, and is a lifelong resident of Phoenix.

Chow Locally is a new breed of a Community Supported Agriculture program. Started by Chris Wharton, Derek Slife and Annie Cowan, Chow Locally has only been active for a month, and it’s already creating quite a stir. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs offer community members the opportunity to support a local farm by subscribing to the goods of the farm. Typically, these programs involve a weekly pick-up or drop off of a box of fresh produce from that farm. Chow Locally is revamping the traditional CSA by creating an online farmers’ market.

“We got a lot of feedback on ‘well I don’t want this mystery box, I wish I could pick what I get, I don’t want to commit to a long-term 10 week program with $300 out of pocket,’” Slife told the Downtown Phoenix Journal. “So we thought an online marketplace with profiles of our famers and the ability to easily just order and check out like an Amazon.com would give anyone the ability to access and tap into the awesome local food we have in the Phoenix area.”

The stereotypical demographic for local food buyers consists of more women and people with higher education and higher-income. But Chow Locally hopes that their service can make local foods more accessible to all demographics. The process begins on Sunday, when the farmers send Chow Locally a list of their ingredients available for harvest that week. Monday through Thursday customers browse the selection and place their orders. Friday, the farmers receive the week’s orders and harvest that day. On Saturday, customers can pick up their orders at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market. Their model creates less waste for the farmers than a traditional farmers’ market setting.

“Instead of guessing how many eggplants they want to bring to market, the farmers know that each eggplant they pull out of the ground for us is going to a customer. So they can leave that eggplant in the ground for next week,” Slife said.

Supporting local farmers is one part of the Chow Locally philosophy.

“Farming is a tough enough profession. It is made tougher when you’re a local grower. The more people that we can bring to them, the more they can sustain themselves and add more food to the supply,” said Slife. “When you buy something at the grocery store, the actual farmer ends up with about 11 cents to the dollar for the item that you bought at the retail price."

Chow Locally works to ensure that farmers are receiving 70-80 cents to the dollar for their goods. The farmers set their prices. Chow Locally compares a lot of their produce prices to Whole Foods. Still think it’s too expensive?

“You can buy any maybe save a little money in the check-out line with processed foods, but because of the health impact, you’re actually paying for it at the hospital with diet related instances,” Slife said.

Chow Locally also offers ingredients not offered by many grocery stores or other CSAs. They have a selection of grass-fed beef on their site. And they will soon begin offering dairy. There are numerous benefits of eating local foods, according to the Slife and Wharton. Local foods can help balance the food systems.

“Commodity crops like corn and soy are necessary because there are so many people to feed,” said Wharton. “But it’s important to balance it with local and regional food products.”

Buying locally can have a major impact on the environment. Foods at the grocery store, are processed and prepackaged. Which is unhealthy and wasteful.

“When consumers buy food locally, it’s fresher, minimally processed and usually unpackaged,” according to Wharton.

Slife emphasized it also, “just tastes better.” He shared that apples can sit for 6 months before they are bought. Chow Locally may be fresh on the market, but they already have plans to expand. They recently acquired a warehouse facility with refrigeration so they can bring their foods to more markets than just Downtown Phoenix. Soon, consumers will be able to find Chow Locally more days of the week than just one. The group is also looking forward to becoming a source of food for local restaurants in Phoenix. They recently tweeted that they are looking forward to working with The Coffee Shop in Gilbert as their first restaurant partner. Want to meet up with the Chow Locally crew?

“You’ll find us at The Duce after almost every Saturday market,” shared Slife.

Be sure to say hi to them on Saturdays at the market.) I have a particular obsession with Mini-Wheats. Tasty though they are, it's not the flavor that transfixes me.  Rather, the variety of flavors available in grocery stores is what astounds. There are no fewer than ten types of Mini-Wheats available to those who wonder just how many ways a little wheat biscuit can be creatively sweetened. If you don't find this all that amazing, there's more. Mini-Wheats, as their eponymous name suggests, should be of a certain size: mini. This, however, is not entirely the case. In fact, if you weren't entirely happy with the mini-ness of your Mini-Wheats, you can buy "Little Bites" Mini-Wheats. And don't feel excluded, those of you with mouths of greater capacity, because Kellogg's also offers, quite oxymoronically, "Big Bite" Mini-Wheats. 
 So now we have lots of flavors of Mini-Wheats, and oddly enough we have a few different sizes, too. I have to ask: do we really need this much variety in our Mini-Wheats offerings? I would say no. I don't believe the market for tasty cereals would be all that affected if we'd limited our 'Wheats offerings to five, say, or even three. I feel fairly certain there isn't anyone out there now thinking, "How is it possible, in this day and age, that we don't have Raspberry Truffle-Vanilla Creme-Almond Mini-Wheats? What is it with this limited choice??" Why the great variety? The fact is, the food industry makes much of its money on innovation. If companies aren't pumping out new food products at a constant rate, they have a pretty hard time remaining fresh in the minds of consumers. That makes it harder to maintain their margins and bring in revenue. Unfortunately, this means our food environment is constantly inundated with new food products--the vast majority of which are processed. Now I'll admit, it's nice to have variety, and it's exciting to try new flavors of things. But, lost in the flood of food novelty are the healthiest whole foods that, from a marketing perspective, are quite unexciting. And as companies constantly drive consumer interest to their newest, processed, packaged goodies, it becomes ever easier for consumers to build a diet based almost entirely on processed foods. Most of the time, that happens at the exclusion of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This isn't the recipe for healthy eating. Every bit of nutrition science, conducted here and abroad, suggests maintaining a diet high in unprocessed or minimally processed whole foods. Our food "innovations" don't reflect that sound, time-honored, advice. Enter the newfound interest in local foods, a movement that makes fruits and vegetables interesting again. If you wonder why so many public health advocates, researchers, and recently, politicians, have been so supportive of the movement, it's because the excitement about local foods is really excitement about whole, healthy foods.  There are lots of other good reasons to be excited, as well. It's not just local produce you're buying; it's produce from a farmer you get to meet, or at least learn about. It's not just nutritious food you're buying; it's a purchase that helps support local agriculture, your local economy, and a diversified food system. And if you're buying locally, you're probably buying foods that supplant processed products you might otherwise have bought at the grocery store. Fruits and vegetables, quite excitingly, are back on the food scene. And the movement to ‘go local’ is helping propel them there. This column, new for the Downtown Phoenix Journal, will explore this and other aspects of the local food movement. You’ll find articles on what local foods can mean for health, for the environment, and for the economy. You’ll get a chance to learn about some of the nutrition science behind food and health. And, you’ll get a chance to learn about who is involved in producing and selling local foods, and how and why they do it. ]]> 16447 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/14/dave-bully-bjorn/ Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:07:40 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16479 Dave Bjorn moved to Phoenix after he graduated from the University of Georgia, home of the Bulldogs, in 1999. Often sporting his college attire around the city, he was given the nickname Bulldog which eventually got shortened to “Bully.” Bjorn works primarily as a health policy and an organizational design consultant through his own firm. Volunteer work In 2009, a year before he left his job as a compliance officer for the State of Arizona and got into consulting, Bjorn volunteered to do behind-the-scenes administration work for CenPhoTV and project management work for the inaugural Phoenix Design Week.

“I met this entire community of graphic designers and web designers and I was fascinated,” Bjorn says. “I am a creative person but I don’t have a creative outlet. It was nice to find a way that I could be involved in creativity even though I don’t know how to produce.”

Working with these community projects inspired Bjorn to do something collaborative with the creative community in Phoenix during his spare time.

“I wanted it to be downtown because I’m a downtown resident and I kind of have this hyperlocal idea that I can’t change the world but I can change my world,” he says. “I just wanted to make the things around me better.”

For the children Bjorn wanted to be able to offer Arizona high school students something outside of the traditional educational model that would provide them with opportunities to figure out what they wanted to do and what they were talented at.

“The kids don’t get to explore as deeply the professional possibilities in things like art and design,” he says.

To help solve this problem, he co-founded Dojo Collective, which gathered local design community members to engage in service projects and collaborations, and to put on educational events. As part of Dojo, Bjorn administered projects called Rapid Refreshes, harnessing the talent of designers and copywriters to build websites for nonprofits including the Lodestar Day Resource Center, Rusty Spoke Community Bicycle Collective, Inner Tough Girls and Tumble Tees. What Bjorn does Bjorn doesn’t consider himself a web designer or a copywriter but says his role in the project was to find the resources they needed to get the websites done and manage those resources.

“What I realized is I was doing volunteer work,” he says. “I wanted to kind of show other people that you can volunteer your time using the skill that you do on a daily basis for your job or that you have as a hobby that you really like to do.”

Bjorn adds that what he also enjoyed about Dojo was bringing creative people together so they could learn from each other.

“My purpose in the world is to facilitate real creative people following through on their crazy dream,” he says.

Next steps Bjorn’s latest venture is his move into the space that formerly housed The Rise Project Pop-Up Shop, which was owned by Ruben Gonzales of 11th Monk3y Apparel and Designs and Joseph “Sentrock” Perez, founder of The Rise Project youth hip-hop program. Perez has decided to pursue other opportunities, so Gonzales has teamed up with Bjorn and local artist Monica Robles to create The Lab, which had its soft opening Friday, September 2. Gonzales will continue to use the space to display and sell his clothing, Robles will use it as her studio and gallery, and Bjorn will use it as an office space for his consulting firm and a fledgling apparel and accessories line of his own. While the three will continue with their individual work, they also plan to collaborate on projects. Bjorn says he will be helping Gonzales with administration work for 11th Monk3y and Gonzales will be helping him with the production aspect of projects he is interested in trying. On failing Bjorn’s advice for those who want to start their own project is to just do it and to remember that failing is OK because trying something different inspires others to do the same. “If we all kept our crazy ideas to ourselves, nothing would ever get done."]]> 16479 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/12/arizona-diamondbacks-pennant-september/ Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:56:20 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16522 Eight is the magic number With the loss to the Padres on Sunday afternoon, the Diamondbacks saw their franchise-record, home-winning streak come to an end at 15 games. This was the first loss for the D-backs at Chase Field since August 8. During that time the D-backs have built their lead in the NL West to a comfortable nine and a half games. With only 14 games remaining in the regular season, the D-backs magic number is now down to only eight. This means that any combination of D-backs wins and San Francisco Giants losses totaling eight will clinch the division for Arizona. The D-backs are also only a game behind Milwaukee for the second-best record in the National League. Finishing second would be ideal because it would mean hosting a playoff series as opposed to opening up on the road versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Of course the argument can be made that you can’t avoid teams and to be the best you have to beat the best. There is truth to those sayings, but the reality is that the best chance for success is playing as many games as possible at home. Stars have aligned September 11 was earmarked as the time for the Arizona Diamondbacks to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the 2001 World Series Championship. It was only fitting for festivities to take place in conjunction with 9/11 memorials being that September 11, 2001 was such a big part of the championship run. There was an inherent risk associated with making commitments for events this late in the season – considering the fact that the D-backs were not expected to remain competitive in the division this season. If the D-backs were out of the playoff chase at this point, the celebration would have certainly lost some momentum – which would have been a shame. Fortunately, this memorable weekend came around with the 2011 Diamondbacks rolling in first place and playing some of their best ball of the season. All the pieces fell into place even better than management could have anticipated. Exciting weekend at Chase Field To commemorate the ’01 team, the D-backs wore their throwback uniforms over the weekend. They also welcomed home players from the championship team. Fans responded by filling Chase Field over the weekend providing a heroes welcome with the highlight coming on Saturday night when World Series co-MVPs Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling were on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. There was a magic formula brewing this weekend that resulted in establishing a playoff atmosphere in town. Fortunately the D-backs seem up to the challenge and actually embraced the bigger stage. Hopefully there will be plenty of meaningful games to enjoy in the coming weeks. October is a great month for baseball.]]> 16522 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/13/phoenix-mayoral-debate-set-sept-20/ Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:24:33 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16542 Hot off the press wire Downtown Phoenix issues will be the focus of the September 20 mayoral debate at The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix. Candidates Wes Gullett and Greg Stanton will face off at 6:30 p.m. in the Virginia G. Piper Auditorium on the campus of the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix. The debate will be conducted before a community panel (participants to be confirmed at this time), moderated by Kimber Lanning, director of Local First Arizona, and will focus on issues facing the development of Downtown Phoenix, particularly economic concerns. The College of Medicine – Phoenix is a critical component of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, a district identified by the City of Phoenix as an educational/research hub that can be an economic engine for the city. Studies have found that a built-out academic medical center in downtown Phoenix could generate more than $2 billion annually in economic impact. Gullett and Stanton were the top two vote getters in the Aug. 30 Phoenix city election and face each other in the Nov. 8 general election in the contest to replace outgoing Mayor Phil Gordon.

But slashed state funding, harder-to-secure donor donations and smaller audiences have wreaked havoc on too many organizations now teetering on the edge. [caption id="attachment_16642" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Phoenix Art Museum Upper Gallery"][/caption] The good news is the curtain is rising on some creative strategies and marketing that could set a new stage for our arts and culture groups. Alliance for Audience—the organization behind showup.com—has been working with TRG, a Colorado-based consulting firm that helps arts and cultural organizations grow revenues and patronage. [caption id="attachment_16641" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Phoenix Art Museum Main Gallery"][/caption] NEW PATRON DATABASE For the first time, they have assembled a central database of Arizona's arts and cultural patrons, derived from lists submitted by the 49 participating organizations to date. [caption id="attachment_16557" align="aligncenter" width="581" caption="Phoenix Theatre"][/caption] TRG executives were in town September 8, sharing their insights with more than 70 arts and cultural representatives gathered at the Phoenix Art Museum to hear their findings from the first nine months of the program: ■The database comprises 693,504 unique households and almost one million patron transactions. That means that one in four Arizona households is represented—and has been involved, at least once, in arts and cultural activities here. ■ The performing arts category accounted for the large percentage of households,or more than 200,000. ■ There were representatives from all 50 states in the database, which has strong implications for “cultural tourism.” ■ The median age in Arizona's patrons skewed slightly higher than in other areas of the country (57 years old, compared to 55 in Los Angeles). ■ 67% of households in the database were in Maricopa County, 11% from other parts of Arizona, 3% from California and 19% from other states. ■ Only 21% are multi-buyers.That means that almost 80 percent are found in the database of only one organization. NEED FOR MULTI-BUYERS It is the last statistic that has the arts and cultural sector talking.

That's because, according to TRG President Rick Lester, “multi-buyers are a sign of health for a community. Unique buyers don't stick around.”

And he has the statistics to prove it. When unique buyers are converted to multi-buyers, the attrition rate drops from 80% to 50%. Among the solutions: cross-marketing and list-sharing, by getting permission from another participating arts or cultural organization to access its database for marketing purposes. [caption id="attachment_16640" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Boeing, Boeing"][/caption] That may be more difficult for some groups than others, especially when they view their database as highly proprietary and worry about other organizations “poaching” their audience. But, in reality, Vice President Will Lester pointed out that “a rising tide raises all ships” and it's to the entire community's advantage to create “culture vultures.” MORE TARGETED MARKETING

“The sharing of lists electronically is not something people can ignore. If we are able to retain people to attend more than one event, that means a tremendous amount to the arts and culture community,” said Shelley Cohn, former executive director of the Arizona Commission on the Arts  and Alliance for Audience board chair.

Phoenix Theatre  has already been able to put database mining to good use by getting a sharper view of their supporters' demographics and, consequently, fine-tuning its marketing efforts, according to Vincent VanVleet, managing director. Based on what they've learned, they are now doing smaller, better targeted and more frequent mailings and getting more favorable results.

“The Age of Reason has come to arts and culture marketing,” said Matt Lehrman, executive director of Alliance for Audience. “Organizations can make decisions now about marketing to and serving audiences from facts, rather than guts—that's incredibly powerful.”

In April, it was Arcade Fire with Local Natives then Death Cab for Cutie in August and now its Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and The Walkmen. All on one bill? Yup, clean those glasses right off but it will still be there. All three bands play tonight for $35 to $50 a ticket which beats waiting another couple years for all three bands to come back around these parts. Fleet Foxes were in Arizona just a couple months ago but decided to play Tucson’s Rialto Theatre. The sold-out show went beyond expectations. The crowd went dead silent as lead singer Robin Pecknold belted out his high notes. The band left jaws hitting the floor with their crisp, perfect hour- plus set including favorites such as “White Winter Hymnal” and “Battery Kinzie.” Expect your mind to be blown with their live vocal harmonies. Along with Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver only has two CDs but both have not fallen short of Top 10 lists and high ratings from various music magazines and blogs. After three years of waiting, the self-titled album was released just a couple months ago but has already proven to be a folk fan’s must-have. Each song is named after a different location or place taking you on a Justin Vernon’s musical journey. By the third song “Holocene,” any listener will want to just turn everything off but the album. It is hypnotized with Vernon’s high vocals and soft drumming carefully cradling his voice. The best thing about this show is only Arizona is getting it. Not one other date on Bon Iver’s tour include Fleet Foxes nor The Walkmen. Seriously?!

It will be the first time Laster and Cycle have participated in the weeklong culinary festival, which runs September 17th through the 25th. She’s prepared a special menu, one that branches out from her soul food roots. Laster, along with the two sons she has in the kitchen with her, is excited to show Phoenix the breadth of her ability as a chef.

“I can’t wait,” Laster said. “I’m doing a lot of things that are really diverse, well-rounded dishes.”

There will be the banana trifecta, a pudding with an added zing. A moose burger, that stands a foot tall. A stuffed portobello mushroom. Laster said she thinks Arizona Restaurant Week is the perfect audience for her expanded menu. It offers up something different, even to those regulars who come back looking for what they’ve already had, and loved.

“It shows people that you can have a restaurant, be a chef and cook various different things,” she said. “You don’t have to stick to one set menu.”

Cycle joins some 200 restaurants statewide that are participating in the weeklong celebration of food, expanding for the first time into northern Arizona. The week allows diners to enjoy three-course dinner menus for between $20 and $40 a person, giving people a chance to try places they might not ordinarily go. About three dozen of the 130 Valley-area restaurants that participated in Arizona Restaurant Week last fall were in Phoenix. A few more are taking part this year. Newcomers include Nobuo at Teeter House, District American Kitchen and Wine Bar, Cycle Phoenix, Compass Steakhouse, Sierra Bonita Grill, and Arrogant Butcher. Province and Portland’s Restaurant and Wine Bar are participating for the first time, too. [caption id="attachment_16697" align="aligncenter" width="530" caption="Image courtesy Arizona Restaurant Week"][/caption] Each will offer menus unique to Arizona Restaurant Week, such as Arrogant Butcher’s crab-stuffed chicken or beef short rib stew. Province will feature a menu that includes corn chowder with crab, slow cooked organic salmon and a squash cupcake. Others have kept their offerings under wraps, not willing to flaunt their plans just yet. Laster said she can feel the buzz among diners. People want to know what to expect. They want to know what they’ll be craving that week. “I have a lot of people that are anxious to see what’s going on,” she said.

That doesn’t mean the Giants are not going to put of a fight. It has become clear that clinching the NL West crown is still going to take some work, as the San Francisco Giants are defending World Series Champions and are not going to just roll over and concede the division to the D-backs. The Giants are poised to make the D-backs earn it, which isn’t all bad for the D-backs–they should have to earn it. The D-backs haven’t been in the drivers seat since 2007. It’s only fair that they battle it out until the end. Of course the success throughout the season has set up a situation where the D-backs could essentially put it in cruise control for the final two weeks of the season. Unfortunately, that type of approach isn’t going to prepare the D-backs for the playoffs. They need to get into playoff mode now and play with the same edge that they’ve displayed all year. The end is near The lead in the West has been cut to only five. The Giants, winners of eight straight, will be traveling to Phoenix next weekend for a divisional showdown. Fortunately, there are only nine games to play and the magic number to clinch the West is only five. The D-backs have the luxury of playing the remaining nine games at Chase Field. It’s possible the D-backs could clinch the division as early as Wednesday, but the best chance will come over the weekend when the Giants come to town. D-backs fans need to get their game tickets now. What better way to clinch than to do so against the defending champs? Also, the D-backs need and deserve the fan support. It’d be great to have the house packed to help celebrate when the championship is wrapped up – assuming that will be the outcome. First things first The D-backs need to take care of business when the Pittsburgh Pirates come to town for a three-game series starting Monday evening. If the D-backs win the series, they’ll set up the opportunity to wrap it up against the Giants. If the D-backs stumble and end up losing the series, the pressure is going to mount. The Giants could potentially come to Phoenix with an opportunity to pull even in the series. That would be devastating after such a positive stretch. Although possible, it would take a monumental collapse by the D-backs to allow the Giants to get back in the race. D-backs look to be pressing Heading into the game Sunday in San Diego the D-backs had lost three straight and were on the verge of being swept. Fortunately, Joe Saunders put together a solid start and the bats heated up a bit. Knowing they only need a few more wins, it’s easy to see how the team could be pressing a bit – especially a young team with little playoff experience. Hopefully the D-backs can taste the championship on the horizon and use that as motivation. If so, it should be an exciting week in Phoenix.]]> 16701 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/21/urban-wine-walk-this-saturday/ Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:28:05 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16720 (Ripped straight from our inbox) In just five days, an exciting beginning to the Fall season opens up with a twist of a cork and the sensual smell of an understated Merlot or the vibrant, fruity aroma of a Chardonnay.

For students in ASU’s American Humanics program, that dream is now reality with the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Encanto Garden of Dreams at Encanto Park this Friday at 8 a.m. The Garden will be an education center for youth from area schools, nonprofits and other organizations to learn about low-water usage vegetation, the need for conservation and sustainability in our desert environment. Funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it is a collaborative effort of the American Humanics program, part of the ASU College of Public Programs; the ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation; and the City of Phoenix's Parks and Recreation Department. An Ongoing Project

“Even though the grand opening is on Friday, technically it will never be completed,” said Tiffany Bailey, a senior in the American Humanics program, who has headed up the project for the past 1 ½ years. “There will constantly be new projects going on.”

The hope is that this unique area, located west of Enchanted Island, bordering the parking lot, will become a well-utilized community space. It has seating walls, an abundance of open areas, surrounded by mesquite trees, agaves, yuccas and other plants. Bailey noted ASU is setting up a request for proposal (RFP)  process so community groups will be able to apply for funding for service projects that benefit the Garden.

“It's cool on both sides,” she said. “Now students will be able to be on the other side, learning about approving grants.”

A Different Vantage Point While Encanto Park was not the original destination for the Garden—the students were looking at what is now Civic Space—it ended up being the perfect fit for the underused Cactus Garden, according to Jan Sherwood, City of Phoenix's Park Manager for Encanto Park. Maintenance needs are low, she added, because of the drought-resistant plants and desert landscape.

“It certainly brings a new viewpoint to the park,” Sherwood said, who added  it was “kind of a weird area” in the middle of the grass, but not necessarily a destination unto itself. Now it's an area where you can do lesson plans and talk about conservation issues. It's also very serene, a great place for reflection,” she said.“We've always enjoyed great community involvement and the Garden is an extension of this.”

Embedding ASU in the Community The project first took root at the 2008 American Humanics Management/Leadership Institute. At that time, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation asked a group of ASU American Humanics students what they would do if they had $100,000 to spend. In response, the students submitted a proposal to create a community space which ultimately became the Encanto Garden of Dreams. ASU Lodestar Center not only helped secure the grant, but has provided both fiscal and programmatic assistance to the students.

“It ended up doing what it was designed to do—bring multiple groups of people that have community care together,” said Dan Minton, program coordinator senior for the Lodestar Center.

He said it will provide an opportunity for students to go out and meet with youth from local nonprofits to collaboratively work on educational projects. There's no question it's already been an education for the students involved. Bailey said this has been a major learning experience for her—from purchasing materials to working with a budget and learning how to stage events.

“This project involved a number of people and organizations that made it possible and, thus, provided a terrific laboratory for students to learn about community development,” said Dr. Robert Ashcraft, Executive Director of the Lodestar Center. “Students learned about how to take ideas, adapt to community needs and wishes, collaborate and negotiate in ways that have resulted in something everyone can be proud of.”

But, beyond the education, for ASU, the Garden embodies a broader goal of being an integral part of the community it serves.

“For our Center, this has meant we can demonstrate community impact  by not just talk or only through hypothetical case studies,” Ashcraft said. “Establishment of the Garden means our students, our ASU Lodestar Center and the University are socially embedded in the community in ways that advance the quality of life for citizens.”

“It’s another way for the community to connect and interact in a way that a print publication can’t do,” Dugandzic said.

The LGBT community in Phoenix is often criticized for being too disconnected while people in more rural parts of Arizona are almost completely cut off from the larger community. Those people rarely have a way to make their voices heard but QTalk Arizona wants to change that. Many Voices, One Network After partnering with N’Touch Magazine, a local LGBT publication in April 2011, Dugandzic began to expand the podcast into a network of talk shows with the tagline, “Many Voices, One Network.” In August 2011, QTalk began broadcasting two of its weekly shows live on the Internet to take calls from listeners.

“QTalk is about talking, discussion, communication, and about educating the community about what’s going on and to encourage listeners to be active in Phoenix and the larger Arizona community,” he said.

Among the voices on QTalk is Dr. Dina, a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist in California with offices in Phoenix, who hosts the Dr. Dina Hour. SportsCast, a show created out of a partnership with Compete Radio, is the only LGBT sports radio program in the entire country and is hosted by Josh Fourrier, AJ Johnson, Buddy Early, Alfonzo Chavez, Connie Wardman and Eric Carlyle. QTalk Arizona launched a new Food and Wine Show with a panel of casual foodies who just want to share their love of good food and great vino. Babe Caylor, former radio personality and community leader with 1n10, joined QTalk in April 2011 and is co-host on the “Joe and Babe Show.” By the end of October there will be 11 shows in the network. Notable guests on the podcasts have included actor George Takei, Arizona teen activist Caleb Laieski, author Brad Carmack, documentary filmmaker Lydia Nibley, mayoral candidates Greg Stanton and Wes Gullet, as well as a handful of other local movers and shakers. From Talking To Action This Friday and Sunday QTalk Arizona is hosting a fundraiser at FilmBar in Downtown Phoenix for Aunt Rita’s Foundation, an organization that raises money for HIV/AIDS prevention and assistance for those living with HIV/AIDS in Arizona. Keith Hartman, the writer/director of a film called You Should Meet My Son, a fish out of water comedy about a conservative Southern mother who decides to find her son a husband after she learns he is gay, contacted QTalk Arizona to see what could be done to show the film in Phoenix. You Should Meet My Son debuted in 2010 at film festivals around the country and won awards in North Carolina, Memphis and Ontario, but was never screened in Phoenix. Hartman agreed to waive any royalty fees if QTalk donated the ticket sales to a local charity. With the 2011 Phoenix AIDS Walk a week away and fundraising in full swing, Aunt Rita’s Foundation was a worthy recipient. Tickets can be purchased on line from FilmBar’s website. Dugandzic believes that QTalk Arizona will help unite the LGBT community more effectively by focusing on local issues and giving people more ways to become involved.

“The hosts of the shows need to know what’s going on in the community. They need to be involved and they need to encourage listeners to do the same. For example, if Equality Arizona needs people for a phone bank, we want to be there. Last week we were at Sedona Pride. We’ll be at the Rainbows Festival the first weekend in October and at Tucson Pride in mid-October. Right now we are still new that we are trying to get the word out, but we’re growing. I can’t wait to see where we will be in 6 months.”

After opening for Taking Back Sunday and Thursday a couple months ago, they’re coming back to headline their our tour, playing the Rhythm Room in Downtown Phoenix. Colour Revolt is an indie experimental band from Oxford, Mississippi. Sean Kirkpatrick and Jesse Coppenbarger started playing in high school and carried on until college, so naturally after playing so many years the road becomes more of your home than anything else. DPJ got a chance to talk to Sean Kirkpatrick from Colour Revolt about touring, the newest album and Ducktales. “Whenever we get our break from the road, it’s like our little piece of gold,” Kirkpatrick said. “We make the best of it.” They’ve toured with the likes of Explosions in the Sky, Brand New, Black Lips and Okkervil River. “We did a two week long tour with The Breeders,” Kirkpatrick said. “We loved every part of that tour.” For every couple of weeks the band is on tour, they take that long of a break and then jump back on the road again. Not only does a band get closer but they experience the most bizarre scenarios. One story starts with a Belgium waffle truck. They had pulled up next to the truck at a red light in San Francisco telling the driver, “Fine waffles, those Belgiums.” The driver took off, leaving the band to think they made him mad. Then the driver stopped at the next light in front of the band’s van. “We watched him coming out with a bag in his hand,” Kirkpatrick recalls. “We thought he was going to tear us apart.” After slowly rolling down the window, the man handed them a large bag full of waffles. “We ate every single one of those Belgium waffles,” Kirkpatrick said. “They were pre-buttered and pre-syruped.” Only on tour would something like that happen. With Colour Revolt’s latest record, they approached songwriting a new way and developed a compelling album full of diverse rhythms, vocal harmonies and lyrics that leave you to wonder if random things always happen to this band. “Each song has a different personality,” Kirkpatrick said. For each album, the recording process differed than the one before. Their self-titled EP was done in the basement of their friend’s house and their first full-length Plunder, Beg and Curse was done in Oxford within two weeks. The Cradle was done in seven days in Ashville, North Carolina. “I’m happy with the way it turned out but if we had more time in the studio who knows what would have happened,” Kirkpatrick said. The ten-song album is more of an open book about the band then the other ones. The song, “8 years” gives vivid and colorful images of various tour days and what the past couple years have brought the band. One lyric in particular stands out in the beginning of the song. Kirkpatrick says about three quarters of it is true, about the man being a professor, climbing a tree screaming obscenities and having a gun. But shooting something off is not. “We pulled a Jerry Bruckheimer move,” Kirkpatrick said. “We wanted the shock and awe.” Three of the five members left before The Cradle leaving Kirkpatrick and Coppenbarger stripped down to their core emotions paving the way to an album full of powerful insight on life and every day challenges. “The choices you make in life are the ones you want,” Kirkpatrick said. “In our situation, we’ve made decisions that we’re compelled to do.” The “what ifs,” Kirkpatrick said, are just part of life. Of course, he thinks of what he’d be if he were somewhere throwing money in the air or swimming in Spanish gold Ducktales style. Which come on, who doesn’t think of that “What if” every now and then? Colour Revolt promises a good show and hopefully getting people to rock out. “We’ll play our hearts out,” Kirkpatrick said. “Our fingers are going to be bleeding.”

Friday proved to be the day that the D-backs would cash in on their success and make the dream a reality. Over the last couple weeks, the D-backs have been creeping closer and closer to securing the NL West title. At times, it appeared as though the pressure of the situation was starting to get to the players a bit. They weren’t playing with the same intensity that’s been evident all season. Fortunately there was never really any doubt that the D-backs would eventually secure the title. The stage was set for the D-backs to celebrate with a single win over the weekend at home against the Giants. What a great way to wrap it up – at home against a division rival and defending World Series Champions. D-backs push on After clinching the division on Friday and partaking in all of the post-game festivities, it seemed feasible that the team could come out flat on Saturday. Not simply because of the lengthy, well deserved, celebration the night before, but just the idea that it’s inherently difficult to turn it back on so quickly. It’s human nature to let down just a bit after such an exhausting, exhilarating high. After all, the team had already accomplished what they set out for when the season began. Clearly the D-backs are not content. They still have plenty to prove and are not convinced that the journey is over. There is still plenty to accomplish as a team - and even some individual honors. Coming out on Saturday and dominating the Giants showed that the D-backs are determined to stay focused and finish the season strong, while also making a convincing statement about the future. These head-to-head matchups can go a long way towards demonstrating that this isn’t a one-year deal. It’s important for the Giants to recognize that the D-backs are built to succeed for years to come. The D-backs need to continue winning in an attempt to catch the Milwaukee Brewers for second place in the National League. This would give Arizona home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs and ensure that they would not have to play Philadelphia to open the playoffs. From an individual standpoint, Ian Kennedy was able to pad his already impressive Cy Young resume – picking up his NL-leading 21st win. Chase is on The crowd was electric on Friday evening at Chase Field to open the three-game weekend series. It’s no mystery that the crowd turned out in hopes of seeing a piece of history. Whatever the reason, it’s great to see the place packed and supporting a Diamondbacks team that deserves the fan support. The D-backs did not disappoint. Instead of letting the suspense build, the D-backs came out and took care of business. And did so in true Diamondback fashion – by coming from behind late for the victory. As exciting as it was to win the NL West and celebrate at home with the fans, let’s hope this is only the beginning. In a perfect world, there will be three more celebrations to come.]]> 16947 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/09/28/cala-festival-born-collaboration/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 21:03:00 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16972 The inaugural CALA (Celebración Artística de las Américas) Festival is a two-month festival showcasing Latino art, music, theater and other culture offerings, which the CALA Alliance kicked off in September. Now in full swing, it is being promoted as a bi-annual event. “Whether fairly or unfairly, outside of the state many people view Arizona as limited in embracing other cultures,” said Ruben Alvarez, CALA President. “There seems to be a lot of cultural misunderstanding in light of some of the politics that have taken place. What we're hoping to do is to use the arts to educate people about the richness of the state's Latino cultural heritage.” Cross-Cultural Collaboration The festival, whose major sponsor is Target, is engaging groups that range from our biggest, most established cultural institutions, such as the Phoenix Art Museum and Heard Museum, to more grassroots Latino groups, such as Teatro Bravo and the Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center (ALAC). One exciting aspect is the spawning of new collaborations. Several months ago, there was a meeting of marketing directors of some 30 organizations involved with the festival. “A Latino playwright turned to me and said he had never sat next to someone from Ballet Arizona,” said Myra Millinger, CALA Alliance board member. “It's beautiful to see what's represented.” Millinger, former president and CEO of the now-defunct Metro Phoenix Partnership for Arts & Culture (MPAC), said origins of the festival date back to a 2003 meeting to discuss better positioning arts and culture to distinguish Phoenix from other areas. “José Cárdenas asked, 'Are we not going to discuss one of the most obvious ways---the vibrancy of Latino arts and culture?'” recalled Millinger, who said that was one of MPAC's initial charges. When MPAC ended, the effort was taken up by the CALA Alliance. Cárdenas, ASU Senior VP and General Counsel, is a CALA Alliance board member and one of the Latino art community's most ardent supporters. Millinger said having one umbrella organization has facilitated more partnerships. That trend was corroborated by the Arizona Humanities Council, which worked with CALA to include many Latino cultural offerings in its Oct. 22 Arizona Humanities Festival in downtown's Civic Space Park. “While we have always made an effort to make our boys multi-culturally aware, I have seen more partnering with Latino organizations recently,” said Cate Hinkle, director of marketing for the Phoenix Boys Choir. They received a grant from the CALA Alliance to host the Schola Cantorum de Mexico Concert on Oct. 5 at the Children's Museum of Phoenix. “It is such a huge part of Phoenix culture—to not celebrate that heritage would be a travesty.” Donna Valdés, executive director Xico, Inc., a nonprofit that promotes indigenous art and culture, believes the CALA Festival is creating greater awareness of what Latino organizations are out there. “Hopefully, it's creating a new train of thought that 'maybe we should be partnering with them,'” she said. Impact On Downtown Phoenix While institutions comprising the Festival stretch from the Musical Instrument Museum to the Mesa Arts Center, Downtown Phoenix is the epicenter. For Linda Tórres, founding president of ALAC, located on Adams Street, that's key. The native Phoenician recalls hearing stories how, in the 1940's, there were celebrations with Latinos dancing in the streets. “Bringing back the culture enhances tourism,” said Tórres, who noted ALAC, which is supported by the City of Phoenix, is across the street from the Phoenix Convention Center. “It doesn't matter if you're visiting from Ireland or Iowa—it's good business for everyone.” She said there has been a plethora of Latino, Chicano and indigenous artists that have come forward since ALAC was established in 2009. The visibility of the downtown location and having a centralized cultural organization has already spawned new partnerships between ALAC and other organizations, such as Artlink Phoenix and Downtown Voices Coalition. “Downtown is a great base because a lot of business, political and community leaders work in the area,” said CALA's Alvarez. “If they are exposed to CALA's marketing efforts, they may see the significance in helping these organizations.” Added Millinger, “Downtown Phoenix is not just organizations with buildings, but an incubator that has brought artists together. It has been a place where risks have been taken to bring in culture.” Attracting Latino Audiences There's also a very real economic quandary that many of the more established cultural organizations are trying to address: As their core audiences age, where will the next generation of supporters come from? With Phoenix's Hispanics/Latinos representing 40.8 percent of the population, according to 2010 U.S. Census figures, it is a group that cannot be ignored. According to Trino Sandoval, executive director of Teatro Bravo, a 10-year-old Latino theater group, the CALA Festival provides an entry to that audience. “It addresses one of my pet peeves,” he said. “The big theaters will put on one Latino-themed show every two years, and it's typically a one-person show. The Latino community is very young and hip and cares about social justice. If Latinos do not see themselves reflected in the productions or hear messages that speak to them, they won't want to see it.” “I think the more established institutions are sensing what most people in the back of their minds understand,” added Alvarez. “We have a growing, young Latino population. To continue to be successful, we need to reach out to future audiences with events and artists they might embrace.” Photo credit: Jack London]]> 16972 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/07/friday-shuttle-map/ Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:20:34 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=16291

These include press releases received from reliable sources and help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix. Yep, they are ripped from our inbox.) Four legs are better than two when it comes to raising funds for 19 Valley-based HIV/AIDS service agencies in the 2011 AIDS Walk Phoenix & 5K Run on Sunday, Oct. 2 in Downtown Phoenix. Dogs like Chloe, a mixed breed rescued from the street who was the “Top Dog” fund raiser last year, will do their part again this year to generate dollars for Paws For The Cause. More than 500 good-natured, sociable dogs ambled alongside their owners last year, raising almost $18,000 (in addition to the $10 registration fee which includes an AIDS Walk bandana and a bag of dog treats). Chloe’s fund-raising efforts produced $3,321.00. This year’s Top Dog also earns the Glamour Dog title as the poster dog for next year’s PAWS poster. “Paws For The Cause really motivates some dog owners. It’s quite the competition to see which dog can raise the most. And dogs are so important in our lives and in the lives of more than 400,000 men and women with HIV and AIDS who own dogs,” said Mike Oleskow, 2011 Paws for the Cause chair. “Scientific studies show the positive impact that dogs can have in lowering anxiety, reducing blood pressure and preventing depression compared with HIV-positive pet owners who do not own pets.” Dog owners registering for the event at also have access to resources to create fund-raising posters, cards and web pages to generate pledges. And rankings are constantly updated so everyone can see which pooches are in the running for ‘Top Dog’. In addition to the Walk, there is also a 5K run (without pooches). The 5K run begins at 9 a.m. immediately preceding the Walk.  Medals are awarded to the top three men and top three women finishers in six age categories. Walkers (and their dogs) and runners can register at www.aidswalkphoenix.org.  Registration fee for walkers is $25 with resources in place to help participants raise additional fund through pledges. Early registration fee for runners is $30.  Children 12 and under walk for free. Phoenix Mercury executive Bridgett Pettis and Jonathan Robles, board chair for Concilio Latino de Salud, Inc., are co-chairing the event. Teams and volunteers also are being sought. Registration can be completed on the website. Walgreens is the event Title Sponsor. Sonora Quest Laboratories, Phoenix New Times and Cox Communications are the Presenting Sponsors.  Additional sponsors are listed below. Co-chair Pettis has spent more than a decade as a player, front office executive and coach with the Phoenix Mercury. An original member of the Valley’s WNBA team, she played in a club-record 154 consecutive games from 1997-2001. Robles, an Arizona native, also is the director of the Title V grant funded by the United States Department of Education at Estrella Mountain Community College.

The 7,000-square-foot venue is conveniently located one block away from the Van Buren light rail stop. Great for people who don’t want to drive, and for students getting out of class who want to walk to get their live music fix in Downtown. [caption id="attachment_17081" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Last week of finishing touches"][/caption] Charlie Levy of Stateside Presents is the man behind the project and has long wanted to open a venue in the Valley. “I was just waiting for the right situation and the right building and the right time for it to come together,” Levy said. “It seemed to be the right time.” [caption id="attachment_17082" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Stage under construction less than a month ago, Sept. 8th"][/caption] The building has exposed brick with high wooded vaulted ceilings. Patrons will have the option of standing room or seating, along with a front lounge area. “The building was built in 1917 so we really tried to peel back as much as we could to the original building and really have an old Phoenix warehouse feel to it,” Levy said. Levy added a little twist that differentiates it from other Valley venues. None other than Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco and Doug Robson of Gallo Blanco will helm Cocina 10, the restaurant portion of the Crescent Ballroom. Talk about a one-upper. “I’m more than happy that all that came together and that all these talented people came together to help me run it,” Levy said. And we haven’t even talked about the music yet. Levy’s plan is to have a show at Crescent Ballroom every day whether it is free in the lounge or ticketed. In the next couple months, Crescent Ballroom will have M83, St. Vincent, Phantogram, Album Leaf, and The Naked And Famous, along with local talents Courtney Marie Andrews, Black Carl and Sergio Mendoza y la Orkestra. “Sergio Mendoza y la Orkestra is the best Arizona band and always a blast to see them play,” Levy said. “Really there’s so many [shows] that it’s really is hard to name what show I’m most excited for." “I’ve very curious as to what people think of it,” Levy said. We're guessing Phoenicians will love having a new place to hang out, eat some grub and catch a once-in-a-lifetime show. Let the games begin.

Be sure to say hi to them on Saturdays at the market.) I have to admit, I am a hard-core ‘foodie.’  I love everything about food. I have a passion for experimenting with new tastes and flavors while cooking, discovering unknown and small family-owned restaurants, understanding where my food comes from, and ultimately learning about how my food was grown or raised. A common theme continues to emerge as I explore everything related to food.  The taste of a final dish starts with the quality of the ingredients used to prepare it.  Okay, I understand that this isn’t a startling revelation. We’ve all heard famous celebrity chefs repeat that mantra on any number of cooking shows. It’s a pretty easy idea to get your head around. Still, it’s easy to forget, especially given all the processed and convenience foods we’re surrounded with much of the time.  So I try to get out of that sort of food environment to find good food.  I’ve personally found that one of the best places to find an amazing assortment of high-quality ingredients is to go direct to the source: Arizona-based farmers and ranchers. Over the next few articles, I will discuss a number of incredible Arizona foods and their sources, which I feel make a substantial difference in the meals we eat and cook. In the next article, I’ll focus on a vegetable or two, but today I want to talk about beef. Beef is the star ingredient in far too many recipes to count.  Every grocery store has an aisle or section dedicated to it.  An entire restaurant category, “steak houses,” lives and dies by this one ingredient. (I’m still waiting for the day when a vegetable rises to the same level of fame. Wouldn’t it be great to tell your friends, “Hey, let’s go to the Lentil House tonight!”?) Beef comes in different cuts and grades, and we tend to understand that some beef is lower quality (and cheaper), and some beef is higher quality (and more expensive). I have found, however, that regardless of the cut or grade, I’m continually disappointed by the quality of grocery store beef.  In part, that has to do with the lack of availability of grass-fed beef. [caption id="attachment_17212" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Cattle grazing in an open pasture at Double Check Ranch"][/caption] It wasn’t until I started visiting the Downtown's Phoenix Public Market that I first tasted grass-fed beef.  It tasted like nothing I had encountered before. It burst with flavor in a concentrated explosion with every bite. It seemed like I was eating real beef for the first time and everything else I ate had been an imitation. This experience prompted me to try meat from a variety of different grass-fed producers. I was amazed to find that each producer’s beef had a very distinct taste. Even more surprising, the taste of beef from the same producer, but from different seasons or years, could differ as well. Being a wine enthusiast, this reminded me a lot of the variety of flavors one can find across wineries and production years. For instance, grape varietals, vineyards, winemakers’ practices, and each year’s weather, all can drastically affect flavor. Grass-fed beef can differ by cattle breed, grass ranges and prairies, ranchers’ practices, and each season’s weather as well. Given this, I don’t understand why there aren’t ‘Beef Tastings’ organized just like ‘Wine Tastings.’ Even more exciting is that something this tasty can be healthier, too This method of raising cattle also creates much leaner meat compared to grain-fed cattle.  You will also notice a better ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. This all has its roots in nature, as grazing on grasses, legumes and other plants is what cows’ digestive systems are naturally adapted to. [caption id="attachment_17211" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Grass fed beef tastes better and is healthier too - photo courtesy of Double Check Ranch"][/caption] The more I researched the topic, the more benefits I noted related to grass-fed beef. I found that it not only tastes better and is healthier, but it is better for the environment, the animal’s welfare, and the local economy when compared to its grain-fed or corn-fed counterpart. If you would like to dig deeper and learn about these issues, I recommend this great book by Michael Pollan: Omnivore Dilemma. The only downside I have found is the increased cost.  Grass-fed beef usually is more expensive than its mass-produced counterpart. This is due to a number of factors, which impact our ranchers: 1.    Lack of government-subsidized feed (corn) 2.    Higher land requirements (both in acres and quality) 3.    Time to market (grass-fed beef takes an average of 7 months longer to bring to market) 4.    Increased labor costs for optimal care, low stress, and nutrition 5.    Economies of scale (grass-fed beef often comes from smaller farms compared to the industrial-produced beef from large farm corporations) Only you can decide if choosing to buy and cook grass-fed is worth it for you, but I urge you to give it a shot at least once. Phoenix is very lucky when it comes to grass-fed beef.  We have a number of amazing producers who are raising their cattle in the right ways.  I personally haven’t tried them all, but the top of my list for the ones I have tasted are; Double Check Ranch and JH Grassfed. Both can be found at the Phoenix Public Market or ordered online via Chow Locally.  If you’re not in the mood for cooking tonight, you can always find some great local grass-fed beef at The Breadfruit, Pane Bianco, or, if venturing to Scottsdale, FnB.

Not that the Brewers aren’t a daunting opponent, but not quite the death sentence that a series against the Phillies would represent. Once you reach the postseason there are no easy wins, but certain match-ups are more favorable than others – on paper. The biggest concern for the D-backs entering the playoffs was the lack of home field advantage -- meaning that they’d open up on the road and play the majority of the series on the road. To have a legitimate chance of winning the series, the visiting team must win one of the opening two games on the road. If not, the chance of pulling out the win is next to impossible. [caption id="attachment_17283" align="alignright" width="183" caption="D-backs hope to regain 2001 champtionship form. Photo taken at Renaissance Square courtesy of Edward Jensen."][/caption] The D-backs lost the opener in a match-up of aces. I was hard for D-backs fans to watch Ian Kennedy take the loss because it’s something that only happened four times this year and he hadn’t lost since August 18. He’s been so successful this season that it’s almost expected that they’ll be victorious when he’s on the mound. Unfortunately in game one it was Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo that cruised to the victory. The game could have turned out differently, but the D-backs gambled in the first inning and it didn't work out. With a runner at second and one out, Justin Upton singled to left field. If Willie Bloomquist would have been held at third, there would have been runners at the corners with one out. Instead, Bloomquist was sent home and called out at the plate. The rally was foiled as quickly as it was started and the offense never recovered. More of the same In game two the D-backs fell behind early when Ryan Braun rocketed a two-run homer to center. The Brewers have a scary lineup with MVP-caliber bats Braun and Prince Fielder in the middle. Both players have already homered in the series. The D-backs battled and were able to keep it close with solo shots by Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Young. Then in the top of the fifth, Justin Upton crushed a two-run bomb to tie the game at four. Unfortunately the tie didn’t hold up long. With the game still tied, things unraveled quickly in the bottom of the sixth. A critical balk, an error on a squeeze bunt and a few timely hits later the D-backs found themselves down 9-4. The D-backs have been the kings of comeback all season, but erasing a five-run deficit in the playoffs was very unlikely. Make it a new series The D-backs are down 0-2 in the series and the chances of winning the next three are slim. Despite the challenge, the team needs to dig deep and make the most of their playoff opportunity. They’ve battled all season to put themselves in a position to compete in the postseason. Chase Field will be rocking and the D-backs need to reward the fans with a few victories. If they can pull it off, then they’ll head back to Milwaukee for a deciding fifth game. At this point, just having a chance to steal the series would be an accomplishment.

The look my boss gave me when I told him I was taking a Friday off to commandeer a parking space in Downtown Phoenix and turn it into a Willy Wonka-themed “park” for the day, is a look that I’ve become all too familiar with in the year and a half I’ve lived downtown. [caption id="attachment_17302" align="alignright" width="198"] Dovid Gorman and Richard Darby with their Enviro-Fession booth[/caption] It’s the same look I get from friends and co-workers who live and work in Scottsdale when I try to tell them about a cool pop-up restaurant they should check out. Or the one from my family, who happily resides in the West Valley, when I tell them I’d prefer to live in an 800-square-foot condo between the sevens rather than a three bedroom house in Goodyear. It’s a facial cocktail of confusion, amusement and this sort of distant sense of curiosity about what it must be like to live “down there." The look is usually followed by some variation of the same question, “Is this one of those downtown things you do?” Yes, yes it is. In fact, Park(ing) Day isn’t just a “downtown thing” in Phoenix, but something folks in urban cores across the globe have been participating in since Rebar, a San Francisco-based design firm, started the project in 2005. The vision started by Rebar six years ago manifested itself on Washington Street, across from City Hall, on the morning of September 16. These nine “parks” had themes ranging from my “Wonka Park,” filled with fake lollipops and giant mushroom chairs, to a bike park offering to fill up tires and tighten loose components. There was an “Enviro-fession” booth set up by Midtown residents Richard Darby and Dovid Gorman where people passing by could confess their environmental "sins," and a more traditional park with trees, lawn chairs and a trampoline set up by Stacey Champion of Rogue Green, who organized and publicized the event. [caption id="attachment_17302" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Courtney Nush in her Willy Wonka themed "park"[/caption] According to parkingday.org, the mission of the event is to “call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of urban human habitat.” [caption id="attachment_17302" align="alignleft" width="194"] Stacey Champion in her park[/caption] While the 40 or so of us participating in the event were certainly having a good time in our parks filled with golden eggs, trampolines and Dixie bands on Friday morning, this is exactly the mission and message we were trying to support. We want Phoenix, both the community of residents living here and City officials, to take the incorporation of people-friendly spaces in the urban core seriously. We want the City to stop approving $17M parking garages and start supporting initiatives for amenities in our neighborhoods and pedestrian-friendly public space. Simply put, those of us who participated on Friday want to see more space allocated to people and not to cars. I don’t expect (or want, necessarily) to see a permanent Wonka Park anytime soon in Downtown Phoenix; but I would like to see community amenities like dog parks, community gardens, parklets and other useful urban green spaces in some of the space currently occupied by cars and empty brown lots. I’d like to see a different look in the eyes of people who live outside the downtown core when I talk to them about what’s going on there — a look of interest and pride for the core of their city. That’s probably the sugar talking; but what can I say — I ate a lot of Laffy Taffy that day and I’m riding this sugar high as long as possible, imagining what Phoenix could be like if we all embraced our inner Wonka and allowed Phoenix to be a world of pure imagination. “If you want to view paradise, Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.”  — Pure Imagination, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

At last month's RadiatePHX event, a certain friend, and DPJ landlord, mentioned the "magic of conversation." While Radiate certainly encourages that kind of magic (and yes, a magician happens to be a regular attendee), we are about to create a space on Twitter to keep that magic alive online. Tonight is the inaugural Downtown Phoenix Tweetchat (#dtphxchat) co-presented by Downtown Voices Coalition and Downtown Phoenix Journal. The online conversation will run from 7 to 8 p.m. and cover three topics. Each of the three chats will feature a different topic chosen by one of the three moderators. Tweetchat and Hashtags...huh? Yep, it's a chat on Twitter. Through the use of hashtags, Twitter followers can participate in a conversation on any given subject. Here are a few tips from Eddie Jensen, steering committee member of Downtown Voices Coalition and organizer of the Downtown Phoenix Tweetchat. 1. The best way to take part in the conversation is through TweetChat. The #dtphxchat room is here. To participate, you'll need to sign in with Twitter, which means you'll need a Twitter account. The tweets will refresh about every 10-12 seconds. There are options to reply to a tweet, to retweet a tweet, to add a tweet to one's favorite tweets, and to see a Twitter user's profile. 2. The chat will start at 7 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. The transcript of the conversation will reflect this one hour time period, but participants can feel free to begin before and continue after that allotted time. The transcript will be posted on the Downtown Voices Coalition website. 3. We will assume that if you are tweeting from an organizational or institutional account that the views represented are yours and not that of your organization.]]> 17376 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/07/friday-crescent-ballroom/ Fri, 07 Oct 2011 22:17:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17390 Crescent Ballroom opened their doors for the first time this week. For First Friday, they have two free shows in the lounge and then The Album Leaf and Sister Crayon play in the ballroom. Leon Santiago plays at 4:30 p.m. to the early crowd or for people who want to check out the venue before The Album Leaf show. For the past couple weeks, Sister Crayon has been touring with The Album Leaf for their first full US tour. DPJ spoke with their lead singer Terra Lopez about the about the tour and how the group came together. “The show in New York was incredible,” Lopez said. “People came specifically to see our set.” Before this tour, the majority of the quartet had only seen the West Coast. Terra Lopez, Dani Fernadez, Nicholas Suhr and Jeffrey LaTour haven’t been a full band for very long but Lopez started the project in 2007 by herself. “When I first started, I was in a band at the same time,” Lopez said. “I wanted to make music that was honest.” She decided to start off with just her, a guitar, looping pedal and backing tracks. “I always knew the sound needed to be bigger,” Lopez said. Thus, Fernadez stepped into Sister Crayon. She added a small dab of hip hop with Lopez’s ghost-like vocals and songs. “I always wanted a more intense sound…I had a vision in my head but I was never able to do that,” Lopez said. Shortly afterward, they added LaTour and incorporated Suhr for the live shows. The band released a five-song EP entitled, “Enter into Holy (or)ders,” which Lopez gave to Manimal Records and by November 2009, they were signed. Earlier this year the band released their debut album "Bellow,"  ten songs that take the listener on a wave of quiet synths and powerful vocals. The trip hop beats add a touch of mild drums and bass creating an unexpected dance element to the album. "The album from start to finish is a band in those three different phases," Lopez explained of songs written when she was solo, with Fernadez and then as a full band. For a small band from Sacramento, they’ve released a split with Warpaint, recorded for a David Bowie tribute album, played at the ever-so-crowded South By Southwest and opened for bands such as Tune-Yards and Doomtree’s Dessa and Sims. “It’s always fun to play to an audience that’s more up in your face and dancing,” Lopez said of performing with Doomtree’s main lady, Dessa. But with The Album Leaf, Lopez said she loves how more attentive the crowds are with their music. “We’ve been collaborating on stage and Album Leaf has been coming up and playing with us and vice versa,” Lopez said. Although the Phoenix stop is the second to last, the band is going to stay in 24/7 mode. “We have two days off and then go to San Francisco and then we’re in the studio next week,” Lopez said. Her hope is to by next year be supporting the second album on tour. “[I’d like to] just be doing this full time and be creative musicians full time,” Lopez said. Sister Crayon promises a “much bigger and dynamic” show than the album recordings. So why don’t you give them a chance?

This exhibition brings together emerging scholars from a variety of schools and disciplines at ASU, to showcase innovative urban research that explores all manner of spatial, historical and theoretical inquiry using visual methodologies. Unlike traditional academic venues, this research “jam” creates an informal visual encounter between disparate urban PhD research projects to generate new and unexpected areas of inquiry. PURL JAM highlights the shared intellectual interest in urbanism at ASU, bringing together different perspectives on the nature, meaning and dynamics of urban places. The Phoenix Urban Research Lab's interest is the design of human settlement and its relation to sustainability, social justice and cultural understanding. Where

That referred to both the beloved Ratner, who succumbed after a two-year battle with esophageal cancer, as well as fears for the future of the more than 80-year-old landmark. Those fears were firmly put to rest on Thursday, when the new owners and management team rolled out the red carpet at Tom’s Tavern & 1929 Grill at 2 N. Central for a re-opening celebration. The sold-out event, which drew scores of local political and social “A listers,” was a benefit for former police officer Jason Schechterle’s new nonprofit, Beyond the Flames Foundation. The event raised $31,000, which will be used to “help others going through life-changing adversity,” according to Schechterle. Schechterle’s tragic accident 10 years ago, which burned more than 50 percent of his body, and his faith-filled response have led him to his path today as a motivational speaker. The restaurant will open to the public next Thursday, Oct. 13. [caption id="attachment_17432" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Michael Bidwill"][/caption] A New Steward “I’d known Michael for 20 years,” said Michael Bidwill, Arizona Cardinals’ president and head of the group that purchased the restaurant early this year, following a time when there was uncertainty about whether it would be close. “When I met with him, I told him that if he didn’t have a buyer, I was interested. “Too many other institutions in this town are no longer around,” said Bidwill, who said he hopes to be “a steward of this great institution.” One of Ratner’s priorities, according to Bidwill, was that any new owners would put money into the restaurant and do the needed renovations. The stunning result of its 10-week renovation is evident; the dark woods and marble accents catapult it into a different league. History Preserved Yet, it is still decidedly Tom's Tavern. “It’s so important to have that nostalgia. As you walk through the restaurant, you can see the history on the walls and in the re-framed photos,” said Greg Freed, general manager. "We want to stay true to what Tom's was--high quality, comfort food at reasonable prices." There is still a private governors’ room, but it has been updated with electronics. The room can be reserved, free of charge, for groups of up to 25 people. And there will still be some of the “old favorites” on the menu. Comfort Foods With a Twist Tom’s Tavern will be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week-- and on weekends, which is new for the restaurant. While there are old favorites on the menu, like the chili, even those are being “tweaked,” under the close supervision of Executive Chef Jason Choate. He said that 98 percent of the dishes will be made from scratch, leaning heavily on local and organic sources, such as produce from Maya’s Farm. And then there are the comfort foods with an upscale twist, such as chocolate layer cake with jalapeno cream, and the cinnamon rolls with rum-soaked currants and cream cheese maple icing. Choate said they have their own in-house meat smoker, which will be used for everything from the bacon to corned beef, with a strong emphasis on barbecue items. As with the old Tom’s Tavern, no one will walk away hungry.]]> 17428 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/10/dbacks-digest-dbacks-season/ Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:26:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17515 No need to apologize The Arizona Diamondbacks' impressive season came to a disappointing end on Friday after dropping game 5 in Milwaukee. It was disappointing because the D-backs had fought back in the series and given themselves and legitimate chance to advance after falling behind two games to none. Also disappointing because game 5 was so close and the D-backs wasted some golden opportunities late in the game. Yet they scrapped their way into a 2-2 tie, just to see the season come to an abrupt end as the Brewers managed to punch in the series-clinching run in the bottom of the tenth. Arizona should be proud of what the D-backs accomplished this season, and the players have nothing to be ashamed of. Microcosm of the season The NL Divisional Series against Milwaukee paralleled the regular season in many ways. No one gave the D-backs a chance heading into the series. When the D-backs came home down 2-0, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone that was talking about a comeback. The D-backs proved once again that they play some of their best ball when their backs are against the wall. They thrilled the home crowd at Chase Field and provided some of the most exciting plays of the year on their way to tying the series at two games apiece. The grand slam by Paul Goldschmidt in game 3 will go down as one of the most exciting plays is Diamondbacks postseason history. Home-field advantage Taking care of home-field advantage is what the postseason is all about. The D-backs struggled just enough at the end of the regular season and the Brewers were able to secure home-field advantage for this match-up. As it turns out, that may have been the deciding factor. The aces battled it out in the finale and that minimized much of the advantage of the home team. However, once the game went into extra innings, the Brewers instantly became an overwhelming favorite. The D-backs have demonstrated throughout the season the ability to come from behind for victories. Unfortunately, in extra innings, there is no opportunity to come back. The opponent scores, you lose. And that’s exactly what happened. When these battles are so evenly matched, every little advantage that you can get is huge. Lots to be excited about As a fan, it’s always hard to watch your team get bumped out of the playoffs. It’s important to keep things in perspective. Only one team is going to finish the season without disappointment. The postseason is extremely competitive and fans have to be encouraged just being represented. The D-backs exceeded expectations all season long and with their young core of talent, there is no reason that this success couldn’t become an annual experience. Next time around, the guys will be better prepared. It really felt like Arizona embraced the D-backs this season and it would be great for that passion to carry over to next season. It’s clear that the players on this team enjoy their teammates and that excitement rubs off on the fans. All signs point to this being the beginning of something special for the D-backs.]]> 17515 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/13/crescent-ballroom-review/ Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:20:56 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17522 Crescent Ballroom is going to be the death of me. Thursday was the first night this week I didn’t go to a show at Charlie Levy’s new venue on 2nd Avenue and Van Buren and that was probably a wise decision. A tough one, for sure—seeing Chico Mann and continuing the trend of going to every show on opening week was enticing—but I’ve got to start getting comfortable saying no to the temptation of this place, located just 6 blocks from my doorstep, or it will surely lead to my eventual demise. [caption id="attachment_17611" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photo by Maria Vassett."][/caption] If I’m being completely honest, at the soft opening on Sunday night I wasn’t completely sold on Crescent. There’s been a lot of hype about downtown Phoenix’s newest music venue brought to us by the owner of Stateside Presents and I sometimes I have this annoying habit of being contrary just for the sake of conversation. Some of the material selections—brick walls, wood bleachers and tile covered with mirrors behind the bar didn’t make sense to me in a setting intended for music. Clearly, I’m not a sound engineer and I’m glad no one asked for my opinion on these decisions because they work—and they work well. After four shows in four days, I can say with confidence that now I’m definitely on what’s already a long list of admirers for the Valley’s newest gem. A large part of what I think makes a concert venue feel comfortable is scale—and that’s something Crescent Ballroom, with a max capacity of 543, nailed spot on. The knee-high stage is the perfect height: low enough that you feel connected and immersed in the performance but raised just enough that the band can be seen from anywhere in the room. Instead of bulky and obtrusive speakers flanking the sides of the stage, Crescent’s are smaller and mounted to exposed beams overhead, pointing down at the crowd delivering crystal clear sound. Large, boxy bleachers on either side of the audio booth line the back wall and create four tiers with the top row about six feet off the ground. The end result is a space that’s comfortable and inviting; open but not so much that you feel lost. [caption id="attachment_17610" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo by Maria Vassett."][/caption] The front room has a similarly relaxed feel: a wooden bar accented by simple hanging lights on one side of the space and a tiny stage in front of a painted white brick wall on the opposite. The walls lining the street open up to two patios filled with high tops that stretch out onto the sidewalk. This front section of the building is a lounge that will be open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day with a full bar, free live music and eventually serving food from Cocina 10, the latest undertaking by Chris Bianco, of Pizzeria Bianco & Pane Bianco, and Doug Robson of Gallo Blanco. Expectations are high for what this duo will dish up (a menu of “Mexican-accented road food” according to the venue’s website). If their stellar reputations along with the execution of the rest of Crescent Ballroom are any indication—I’m sure it won’t disappoint. A great space, quality sound, a full bar, spectacular service, the promise of great food—and I haven’t even touched on the lineup of bands they’ve got in store. The Album Leaf, St. Vincent, M83, Deer Tick, Shawn Colvin, We Were Promised Jetpacks and more are all booked from now through December. I could go on, but with a calendar full of such solid programming set for the next few months, it’s probably best for you to check it out yourself. 

When I say Crescent Ballroom is going to lead to my eventual death, I may be exaggerating slightly. Death is a little extreme; but if you see me ringing in 2012 unemployed, hung over and standing on the 7th Street I-10 overpass holding a sign that says, “This is Charlie Levy’s Fault – Will Work for Tickets,” don’t say I didn’t know what was coming. But man, what a way to go.

For the launch, several notable people in the valley will identify their favorite light rail stops and join riders, local first fans, and others to ride and explore their community. In Tempe, Councilmember and METRO Board member Shana Ellis will join Local First for a “ride along” where guests and riders will be encouraged to visit her top two light rail stops in Tempe: the Mill Avenue/Third Street station and the Tempe Transportation Center (Veterans Way/College Avenue). Kimber Lanning of Local First will act as tour guide and will offer up bits of history, interesting landmarks, and great new businesses that have opened in the Tempe area. Those interested in joining the fun should meet at the METRO Light Rail Dorsey/Apache Boulevard station at 5PM and ride to the Tempe Transportation Center on October 12. The group will be visiting such Tempe establishments as House of Tricks, Here on the Corner, and Canteen and will learn about biking opportunities, community gardens and other little known gems about Tempe. In Phoenix, Councilmember and METRO Board Chairman Tom Simplot will host stops at Osborn/Central Avenue and Washington/Central Avenue, which are his two favorite stops on the line. Guests will visit an urban living environment along with great infill projects like Hanny’s, Cartel Coffee and more. Again, Kimber Lanning will act as tour guide and will offer up little known facts and history about the Phoenix area. Interested riders should plan to meet the group at METRO Light Rail Central Avenue/Cameback station at 5 PM on October 18th. Local business hero Craig DeMarco will also be doing a “ride along” which will visit his two favorite stops on the rail, Van Buren/1st Avenue and Central Avenue/Camelback. Some of the businesses on DeMarco’s tour include the Crescent Ballroom, Civic Space Park, Cowtown Skateboards and more. Interested riders should plan to meet the group at Phoenix Public Market at 5 PM on October 20th. Prizes will be given away to some lucky riders, so join in the fun and explore the community by learning more about the local businesses that make us proud to call the Valley home. Lanning says, “We’ll even be spreading the word about great local deals like where you can buy a great locally made lunch for only $5.99.” ”Local businesses are assets to our line,” said METRO CEO Steve Banta. “The partnership with Local First Arizona is another opportunity for us to connect with these businesses and provide value to our transit riders.” Shift the Way you Shop was inspired by a study that was recently completed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that examined the spending patterns of residents and businesses. The study determined if all 600,000 people in Grand Rapids county simply shifted 10% of their spending from national to local businesses, the result would be 1600 new jobs, an additional $130 million invested in the local economy and an increase of $50 million in local wages within one year.]]> 17524 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/12/maker-faire/ Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:33:33 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17529 Where can one go in Phoenix to see flaming robots, a marshmallow chucker and the fastest human powered vehicle in the world? Maker Faire, the world’s largest do-it-yourself festival, is making its Phoenix debut Saturday. It will unite science, art, craft and engineering in the form of the more than 100 hands-on exhibitions. “It’s a noncommercial event designed to bring together people interested in learning to make things,” says Phoenix Maker Faire Producer David Uhlman. The creators of Make Magazine, a publication dedicated to providing information on DIY projects, started Maker Faire in 2006 in San Mateo, California. Uhlman has been pushing to bring the event to Phoenix. Uhlman is the founder of Maker Bench, a local business that offers skills training, resources and work space for innovators and entrepreneurs who want to build things. He is also a writer for O’Reilly Media, a company that disseminates the knowledge of innovators through online and print publications, research and technology conferences. The Phoenix event, which is part of the third annual Phoenix Design Week’s line-up, will showcase the work of a variety of people creating DIY projects, most of whom are from Arizona. Uhlman says there are not many regulations for the projects but that there is an emphasis on interactivity and showing how the projects are put together. He hopes the faire will inspire people to make things that interest them, but says it will also be a fun, family-friendly event for the community. In addition to the exhibits, the faire will feature music, gourmet food trucks, and arts and crafts. “Downtown has seen a lot in terms of revitalization," Uhlman says. “I think the faire will be a good fit and I think it’s a good time to bring it here, and of course there will be flaming robots. You can never have too many of those.”

On Friday, October 14, people can learn the art of pairing beer and cheese in the best way possible – by tasting some of the best of both. HB Hanratty’s Pub and the Cheese Chick are hosting South by Northwest to celebrate American Cheese Month. Guests will get hearty samples of Oregon cheeses paired with Arizona beers for $20.

When the Cheese Chick reminded the esteemed Mr. HB Hanratty that October was American Cheese Month, an event to celebrate was inevitable. The gentleman is known for being a bit on the cheesy side himself, but that aside, his long-standing bar at 7th Street and Camelback is better known as a place to sample some of the fine Arizona craft beers being brewed in the state. At the event, guests will get to sample four Oregon cheeses new to the Arizona market from Oregon Farmstead & Artisan Cheeses, Rivers Edge Chevre, Rogue Creamery, Tumalo Farms and Willamette Valley Cheese. They will be paired with beers from San Tan Brewery, Sonoran Brewery and Sleepy Dog. The $20 ticket includes generous portions of cheese paired with gourmet crackers and cheese-friendly condiments, 4 tasters of beer and a pint of your favorite. To RSVP, visit HB Hanratty on Facebook and respond to the event posting . One ticket per person will be held with each RSVP until 7pm. After 7pm, those tickets will be made available for walk ins.

The shows are less than $20 and give downtowners a chance to see the new live music venue, if they haven’t already. Friendly Fires is an English band from St. Albans, Hertfordshire. Since forming their first band at 14, the members have been inseparable. In 2008, they released their first self-titled EP. They take dance groove to another level with intricate beats, simple lyrics and indie synths with cowbells. It’s music for people who don’t want to go to raves or desert parties for a place to get loose and take over the dance floor. English magazines have been teeming with reviews of their music and  photographs of band members, Ed Macfarlane, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibson. The latest Q Magazine nominated them as one of the "most exciting acts on Earth." Their newest release “Pala,” doesn’t stray too far from their self-titled first album, but has a tighter feel to it. The rhythm of each song is stronger than before and various styles of dance techno are woven together. The Naked and Famous is a five-piece band from New Zealand. Although the band only has one studio album out, they are climbing the US radar with “Passive Me, Aggressive You.” They’re different from Friendly Fires in that they have a harder rock sound in between their dance beats and drums play a large part in many of their songs. “No Way” starts off slow with Alisa Xayalith’s soft voice (think Sleigh Bells) singing, “When the daylight comes.” After a few verses, the beat explodes with drums and piano that come and go throughout the song. For most people, songs like “Young Blood” and “Punching in a Dream” will have them flailing their arms in the air like there’s no tomorrow with the band's chanting, hand clapping and raw-sounding, harsh guitar chords. It's a perfect way to spend a Tuesday night. Throw on something dance-friendly and move like no one is watching.

The film opened in New York and Los Angeles to sold-out shows, lines of screaming fans and celebrity attendance.   The film has been propelled by a highly successful viral social media campaign and an army of teen fans called the “Archie Army.” The “Archies” have created a sensation both at the box office and online through the groundbreaking Facebook campaign called, “I Am an Archie.” As a result, the film has begun a nationwide rollout at AMC Independent theaters in more than 10 cities. The film stars Brooke Nevin, David Carradine, Joe Mantegna, Mariel Hemingway, Nora Dunn, and newcomer indie sensation Gabriel Sunday as Archie. The cities chosen were a direct result of more than 29,000 fan “demands” through Eventful’s online Demand-It campaign. The film follows 17-year old media student, Archie Williams, on his quest for personal connection after he announces that he is going to kill himself on camera.  The honest, unflinching look at this generation of media saturated, misunderstood teens has resonated with audiences of all ages and has provided healing for many teens and their families whose lives have been touched by suicide.  Distributed by Big Air Studios and Rocket Releasing.  ]]> 17637 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/14/bus-tour-footsteps-infamous-trunk-murderer-winnie-ruth-judd/ Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:25:05 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17660 Marshall Shore steeps himself in the history of Phoenix that others might overlook: the cultural anomalies, the fads, the dreamers, the artists and the eccentrics that provide a unique window into our city’s past. One such character was the infamous Phoenix trunk murderer, Winnie Ruth Judd. Back in 1931, the nation was rocked by the grisly details of this gruesome crime. On October 16, 1931, Winnie purportedly killed her two roommates, cut up one of the bodies, stuffed both bodies into trunks, and took them by train to Los Angeles. It was a big job for a small woman, and the twisted tale of adultery, jealousy and murder was complicated by rumors, speculation and uncertainty. Bits and pieces of the story continue to come to light, even to this day. “As I talk with people in my research, the most interesting things come to light.” said Marshall. “Just recently, my phone rang and someone began telling me about how Winnie Ruth Judd's victim was cut up in the basement of her house.” Yikes! This Sunday, October 16, is 80 years to the day since the crime was committed, and in true Marshall Shore style, he’s hosting a bus tour to commemorate the date. The tour runs from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and begins and ends at the historic MacAlpine’s Soda Fountain coffee shop on 7th Street. The bus will travel along the old Brill trolley line, which will give tour-goers an idea of the shape and size of Phoenix back in Winnie’s day.  Other stops will include the houses where she lived and where she met Jack Holleran, a well-known Phoenix businessman with whom she had an adulterous affair; the Grunow Clinic (still a medical clinic!) where she worked; the house where the murders took place; the train station where she attempted to board with the oozing trunks; and the old Maricopa County Courthouse where the trial took place. Marshall promises a few surprise stops along the way and tour participants will be among the first to hear about details in the story that have recently come to light. The tour will cover more information than found in any book, and Marshall will reveal a little known connection to the story that explains why MacApline’s was chosen as the meeting place. Celebrate Halloween early with this eerie trip down murder’s memory lane.

Be sure to say hi to them on Saturdays at the market.) It's no major revelation to point out that our government currently suffers from dysfunction and division. Even so, I think it's interesting to take a close look at why the division exists and to see how it directly relates to food in the US. If you weren't aware, food is wildly politicized in every way (remember Freedom Fries?). And often, the politics track along the same partisan lines as other major issues. [caption id="attachment_17731" align="alignright" width="300" caption="From http://www.agathoune.com/"][/caption] Underlying most debates between Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, the left and the right, is the extent to which government should be involved in our lives. Most agree that the federal government should be directly and heavily involved in major national priorities, like defense or international relations. After that, consensus goes away. And so we fight over how big the government should be and how much we should pay in taxes for its size. When it comes to food, the same debate rages. How much should the government be involved in our food choices? Most probably agree that the government should protect the food supply (the FDA therefore can shut companies down and prosecute those who put products onto the market that make us sick). But what about products that might make us sick, but don't necessarily do so? For instance, consistent intake of foods that contain high levels of trans fats is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Trans fats have no redeeming nutritional qualities, and their impact on chronic disease exceeds that of other harmful food ingredients. Well, some municipalities and states have begun regulating use of trans fats in fast food products. As a result, chain restaurants of a certain size cannot serve foods containing trans fats in places like New York City and California. This is where things get sticky, because now regulation actually affects consumer choice (what if I want to eat a food with trans fat because I think it's tastier?). And this is where the right can get riled. Something that might be good for public health can at the same time limit personal choice. It's the same set of arguments one might make regarding wearing a seat belt or a helmet. Despite the rancorous debate we all recently witnessed over the debt ceiling, it might be possible to find a happy medium between big and little government, and more and less regulation, at least when it comes to food. We can do it through 'healthy defaults.' First proposed by Kelly Brownell, a researcher at Yale University, the idea of healthy defaults suggests making the healthy food choice the easiest choice. Short of taking away unhealthy foods, this concept would mean, for example, making bottled water or diet sodas cheaper and more prevalent in vending machines compared to full-calorie sodas. Or making a salad the default side as part of a restaurant meal rather than fries. In other words, with healthy defaults we manipulate our environment to encourage healthier choices rather than mandating healthier choices or banning unhealthy ones. This option still doesn't appease everyone, especially those food and beverage companies whose sales might be affected. But I back it. If we hope to establish social norms that help support healthy eating, we need a food environment to match. Couple a healthy environment with strong nutrition education, and we might actually make some headway in improving eating behaviors. So what are some ways we can create healthy defaults in our food environment? To start, we work more on promoting and buying local foods. When you go to farmers’ markets, buy into community supported agriculture programs, or even garden at home or in your community, you usually end up filling your kitchen with more whole, healthy, unprocessed foods, which supplant the less healthy processed foods you might otherwise have bought at the grocery store. That leads to healthier eating. And the more we support local and regional food systems, the more we build a market for the foods they produce. That will lead to more businesses offering more local food options, creating (by default) a healthier food environment. So go local and return to whole foods. The more you do that, the more we build a marketplace filled with healthy defaults.

The original motor hotel, Oasis on Grand, is being adapted into housing for artists as a way to contribute to the revitalization of the neighborhood. The 99 room motel is being converted to 60 affordable studio and one-bedroom apartments. The property has been commercially zoned as live/work space for artists, allowing their home to become their studio, gallery and a place where they can sell their work. The 29 colorful units along Roosevelt have a windowed, street-level gallery. When the unit is open to the public, a front gate on the balcony can be open, inviting people in. These units are set up so their gallery and studio are in the front and the bedroom is in the back. The spaces on the upper level are a bit larger, but without the ground-level accessibility. Renting a unit in The Oasis will cost an artist anywhere from $400-$700 a month. Preleasing has already begun on the Oasis on Grand website and interest has been high. Timothy Sprague, a lawyer turned real-estate developer, and his firm Habitat Metro are behind the $5 million project. Habitat Metro developed the high-end Portland Place condominiums. Sprague hopes to include a larger gallery in the building for resident and local artists to display their work. In addition, he envisions a coffee house/bistro and a stage for concerts. “I’m hoping to have some music associated with it. I think the music scene needs to be a big part of it and the Grand Avenue area has an opportunity to become the music scene like you see in Austin,” said Sprague. The Oasis project is breathing new life into the Grand Avenue area. Not only does it bring Phoenix new First Friday galleries, it brings a new avenue of housing to downtown. “This project is jump-starting a neighborhood renaissance that will benefit the local community as well as Downtown Phoenix for years to come. Providing 60 units of housing for families earning modest incomes could bring people to this neighborhood who have never been here before,” said District 7 Councilman Michael Nowakowski in a press release issued by the City of Phoenix. Sprague cited many people as being extremely instrumental in this project, including Nowakowski and also Jerome Miller, the Deputy City Manager. Sprague is no stranger to Downtown Phoenix history, especially in the Grand Avenue area. He is familiar with who owns each of the landmark buildings along with their original uses and future plans. The Oasis is owned by Tom Carmody and was originally planned to be an affordable condo project. “Tom has been very instrumental in saving some things downtown here that very few people know about. He owns the little shopping center where Carly’s is. You know where Modified is? Kimber Lanning owns that now. When she first opened up the gallery, she was a tenant of Tom’s and Tom said 'for you to really get a foothold, you need to own some property,' so Tom sold it to her,” Sprague shared. [caption id="attachment_17982" align="alignright" width="300" caption="A historic picture of the old Caravan Inn"][/caption] Carmody bought the Oasis Motel to help clean up the neighborhood. “The Oasis was a 99 room hotel that was operated as a flop house. It was a den of sin.  Prostitution, drug deals, you name it. It was bad stuff. Tom bought it from a gentleman who was constantly in a battle with the fire department. They would come in and want to shut him down and he would put a band-aid over what ever was wrong to keep them at bay for another 60 days,” said Sprague. Once Carmondy bought the property, he shut it down. According to Sprague, crime decreased by 50% in the area. After visiting Portland and witnessing the real-estate development before and after the Portland light rail system, Sprague knew that there was real possibility in Phoenix. “We developed two properties up there [Portland] and sold them, and we came back after the light rail system had been put back into place, wow. Changed completely,” said Sprague. Habitat Metro then began to look at transit-oriented development in Phoenix. Sprague shared that they looked at a few properties on Camelback and Central, but were never able to make the deals work. That is when they acquired the Portland Place property from the City of Phoenix and began the three-phase project. What you see now is Phase 1 and according to Sprague, it was very successful. Condos in the complex sold for $400/sq. foot. “But what we realized is that for downtown to be vibrant and to work, you’ve got to have a full spectrum of residential properties within the market. Not everyone can afford to buy an expensive condo. So that’s one of the things that really attracted us to the Grand Avenue market,” Sprague said. Sprague believes that in order to maintain an urban environment, there has to be residential diversity in the area. He didn’t see that in Portland Place. “The only common denominator is that they don’t have children. It’s older, empty-nesters to single divorcees to partners to dual-income couples with no kids. The people who really want that urban scene. And to have that scene, you’ve got to have art and texture,” Sprague said. That’s why he and Habitat Metro are creating Oasis on Grand. Visitors can tour the location during the 3rd annual Grand Avenue Festival on Saturday, October 22, from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.]]> 17801 0 0 0 6218 0 0 6217 0 0 10601 http://www.oasisongrand.com 6217 0 11043 0 0 11089 11043 0 11455 11089 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/18/butter-toast-boutique/ Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:31:16 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17839 DPJ is proud to bring you the first Fashion section of Greater Downtown Phoenix: "Seamless," edited by Corbin Chamberlin. Every week, visit DPJ for the latest fashion and retail news, interviews and all kinds of fashionable mischief. Butter Toast Boutique, a store in the Roosevelt Row Arts District, offers fantastic vintage. They’re a brand that knows exactly who they are, and who their consumer is. You’re not going to find a floor-length Gucci gown or a perfectly worn Hermes Birkin – but you will find a store full of clothes that have been edited and selected for a young, modern vintage-enthusiast who appreciates a lower price point. I spoke with Jasmine Jarrett, co-owner of Butter Toast Boutique to gather her thoughts on what it’s like to own a retail store in Downtown Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_17840" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Jasmine Jarrett (left) with co-owner Traci Nelson"][/caption] How has the local downtown community responded to your store? From our very humble beginnings at the old Anti-space, Butter Toast has always been welcomed, from both the business community and the people who dwell here, with excitement and genuine hope for our success. When we moved to Grand Avenue for a short time, we jumped right into the community there as well and did our best to support Grand Avenue's continued growth. Currently we are happy to be back in the Roosevelt Row Arts District and I am pretty sure RoRo is happy to see our return too. In our opinion we fit perfectly in this community and are here to see it grow and prosper. A year ago when we moved back to RoRo we considered abandoning our downtown home to find a more saturated retail district but we want to be a catalyst in Phoenix's up and coming downtown. How would you best describe your customer? Their likes and what they want to buy. Our customers are paying attention to current trends without falling into the overtly trendy category. They appreciate a unique print or cut in a garment that may not be what they are making hundreds of at Forever 21... and for the most part I think our customers want to take the right kind of risks and stand apart from the crowd. What aspects do you contribute to the success of your store? Right from the beginning BTB was recognized in the press (unexpectedly) and that's what probably catapulted us into taking our business seriously. I think our approach itself was not unique but definitely unique to Phoenix (at the time)... we created a reasonably affordable, urban-vintage boutique... something you can find in just about every major city, even Tucson had a stronger vintage presence three years ago. Phoenix has always had vintage and antique shops all over the valley but none of them really took the hip-current approach to vintage. There are a handful of them now and they have just popped up in the last year and a half! It's amazing and great to hear. The more the merrier! Word of mouth has also been a huge big part of our success too. What makes your store unique? Traci and I handpick just about every vintage piece that is in the store, which is not so unique in of itself, but what we choose is based on quality, current trends, the wearability and, of course, our own personal tastes. We also alter some of the clothing to further update the look and keep the styles fresh and current. Our clothes range from ultra feminine-kitschy to bohemian goddess to edgy chic and everything in between. MOST importantly, we price our vintage fairly. We feel strongly that unique vintage fashions can be and should be accessible to everyone. What has been the biggest struggle you've had to overcome as a retail-business owner? Traffic has been an ongoing struggle at all three of our locations. We have customers that travel from all over the city to visit us BUT we lack regular foot traffic in the downtown area. I am not going to lie, everything has been a challenge for Traci and me, signage, marketing, visibility, space... We started this business with basically the cash we had in our pockets and have slowly expanded and grown organically. It's definitely been a slower process but our growth has real sustainability. We didn't flare up and blow out just as fast. What fall/spring trends do you anticipate will be popular among your Valley customers? I love what’s coming this fall/spring. Ascots, ruffled blouses and classic tweed and plaid prints, but I predict ultra vibrant Jewel tones will be big this fall-spring and color blocking here in Phoenix. I think that's an accessible trend for the typically conservative fashion tendencies of Phoenix, along with color blocking. Despite this not being a new trend I think sheer fabrics will be seen around town this fall. Unfortunately, fur is a big fall/winter trend coming up but it's really just not practical for Phoenix weather. Although, as a compromise, we have collected a ton of small vintage fur collars that are super easy to add to a light coat, sweater or even layered with a simple dress!

With the announcement of Chloe's Corner, DPJ looks back to a conversation with The Arrogant Butcher owner Sam Fox as he prepared for the opening at CityScape, his first foray into Downtown Phoenix. This article first appeared in the February/March edition of DPJ Magazine. Mention the name Sam Fox to many, and you’ll likely receive polarizing receptions. The precocious college dropout turned rabid Arizona-based restaurateur has, for the most part, managed to successfully skate the fine line between everyday-diner accessibility, and a product that retains affection from those more devoted. Food-wise, nothing is ever obscure enough to alienate, or so expected to entirely repel more ardent food fans. This is a sweet spot where his company, Fox Restaurant Concepts (FRC), thrives: environments manufactured not to offend; tempting extreme ends of the dining spectrum without daring to go overboard. Hoping for a similar turn of fortunes with The Arrogant Butcher, Fox’s new Downtown venture, focus remains comparably attuned. Edging CityScape’s eastern end, The Arrogant Butcher is essentially FRC absorbing what it has learned from the rollout and feedback of Scottsdale’s Modern Steak. Only instead of crafted ladylike pomp, expect a product darker, more worn and, well, masculine. “The space is designed to feel like it’s been there for a very long time,” Fox strategically lays out. “There will be lots of exposed concrete and worn woods; a very old-school vibe.” Loosely modeled after a marriage between big-city chophouses of the mid-1900s and the new rise of scruffy hipster gastropubs (the term had to be used) currently punctuating cities coast to coast, from Portland to New York, The Arrogant Butcher is FRC referencing familiar centers of gravity with reshaped execution once again. What is also unique about The Arrogant Butcher is simply its geography: it’s located Downtown. During the relatively rapid ascension of FRC over the last half-decade, new and repeated concepts alike sprouted throughout more suburban corners; the arsenal of FRC’s portfolio largely ignored the true heart of the central city. Though not a Phoenix native (he was born in Tucson), Fox admits Downtown Phoenix in particular has been growing on him over the years. “Downtown’s ready for something like this,” Fox says. “I’ve always been looking Downtown — it has always been on my radar. After RED put together such a great development, it became this perfect package. With all of the interesting places opening nearby I think it will help add even more synergy. “I enjoy places like Hanny’s, Cibo and of course, Pizzeria Bianco,” Fox says. “Whether for business, Suns games or other events, I now spend lots of time Downtown.” Hoping to be open by late February for lunch and dinner, Fox asserts hopes that his new eatery will transcend status as merely a workday watering hole or power lunch pit-stop. “What we’re really excited for is the after-6 p.m. and weekend crowds — we want it to feel apart of Downtown’s fabric.” A testament to a restaurateur’s longevity isn’t merely delivering the brassy concepts, rather it is displaying a steady resolve to regenerate when that brass may tarnish. The Arrogant Butcher is Sam Fox’s latest assertion that he can skillfully create a stimulating, satisfying dining impression that rests upon more than helium; one that is as mutually credible edibly as it is — as his places always are — strikingly easy on the eyes.]]> 17852 0 0 0 9160 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/18/mayors-state-downtown-mixer/ Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:17:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=17875 Where: The Duce 525 S.

But Saturday, Evans Churchill will showcase a dozen urban interiors ranging from renovated Territorial Craftsman bungalows to new infill urban loft apartments with its inaugural Interesting Interiors Urban Living Tour. The homes that will be shown on the tour were nominated by neighborhood residents for illustrating the diversity of the area. “We’re really hoping to build the identity of the neighborhood,” says Evans Churchill Community Association Board Member Greg Esser. “It’s called ‘Interesting Interiors’ because the neighborhood is one of the most diverse mixed-use areas based on density and types of occupancy.” The event aims to highlight the historical aspects of the district as well as the new developments such as the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, he says. In addition to showcasing the neighborhood, the tour will be used as a way of funding public improvements in Evans Churchill. Esser says this is the first fundraising event the association has done and he hopes it will become an annual event featuring new interiors every year. Attendees will take self-guided tours but will be given a recommended route to follow. Ollie the Trolley and pedicabs will be available, and participants are also encouraged to walk or bike.

More than 30 different local food trucks and carts will be participating in the inaugural Phoenix Food Truck Festival, hosted by The Phoenix Street Food Coalition and Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation. Food vendors will give small samples to attendees which will be included in their ticket fee, and the Four Peaks Beer Truck and Dos Cabezas Winery will provide beverages at the cash bar. The festival will also include live music from four local bands, and will be within walking distance of Roosevelt Row galleries and shops. The event aims to raise money for the Phoenix Street Food Coalition, and Roosevelt Row and its A.R.T.S. program, which finds temporary productive uses for vacant lots in the Roosevelt Row district. Other A.R.T.S. initiatives include community gardens, public art projects, cultural fairs, outdoor film space and concerts. Cindy Dach of the Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation says she and the other event organizers realized the increasing popularity of food truck festivals across the country and decided it would be a great project for the A.R.T.S. program, which began in April. She believes food trucks have become popular because they offer a different experience than traditional restaurants. “People love gourmet food but people also love mobility and community gathering,” Dach says. “It’s a new way of experiencing community and food, and we’re on the upward rise of it.” But Dach hopes the festival will do more than just raise money. “The other goal is to bring people downtown ... and to think about coming to Roosevelt Row on days other than First Fridays,” she says. “It’s a vibrant area seven days a week.” Brad Moore, president of the Phoenix Street Food Coalition and owner of the Short Leash Hot Dogs food truck, says mobile eateries must be part of the coalition to participate. “We have requirements to become a member such as 30 percent of your ingredient must be local, you may not be a national franchise and your food must be artisan in nature,” he says. Moore says the event is also a way of celebrating the growth of the one-year-old coalition and its involvement with Roosevelt Row. Dach anticipates it will be an annual event but says that it may be too large for the same location next year. Clea Senneville, owner of the beet strEAT food truck, says she is excited to showcase how the local street food culture has developed and how a unique group of passionate and positive independent small business owners has come together to support each other. “I am looking forward to the event for the opportunity it provides our little business to share what we do, both tangibly in the form of our samples, and by way of conversation with visitors, to whom we’ve not yet been exposed,” she says. “Plus, it’s sure to be a good time,” Senneville adds.

This section will include press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix. Yep, they are ripped from our inbox.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is calling upon local design firms to submit price quotes to give Phoenix’s Lower Grand Ave. a green makeover. The firm selected will produce designs to improve the Lower Grand Avenue streetscape, making it more environmentally, pedestrian-, and bicycle-friendly, while maintaining the neighborhood's artistic character. The design team will explore options that use green infrastructure techniques suitable for arid climates to capture and treat stormwater runoff. Options might also include improvements to pedestrian crossings, transit shelters, and bicycle paths. Lower Grand Avenue is in Phoenix’s core and adjacent to downtown and the state capitol. Recent developments along Lower Grand Avenue reveal an emerging, grassroots effort to revitalize the area. In 1998, a federally funded Weed and Seed project, which aimed to reduce violent crime by "weeding" out offenders and "seeding" community services, kick-started a partnership between city, federal, and state agencies, as well as the local faith community, residents, businesses, and nonprofits. This partnership has led to a 40 percent reduction in violent crime over the last 10 years. Artists have colonized the street, taking advantage of inexpensive vacant and underused warehouse and shop spaces. The area is now a focus of an annual art festival and monthly First Fridays art events. Phoenix and four other state capitals were selected from a total of 23 cities nationwide through the EPA’s Greening America’s Capitals program. The EPA is also funding private sector experts to provide sustainable design assistance to Montgomery, Ala.; Lincoln, Neb.; Washington, D.C.; and Jackson, Miss. Greening America's Capitals is a project of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities between EPA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Department of Transportation to help state capitals develop a vision of distinctive, environmentally friendly neighborhoods. In addition to helping the selected state capitals build civic pride and a greener future, this assistance will help create models that many other cities can look to in creating their own sustainable designs.

Grant St., Phoenix.  The exhibit will be open Tuesdays to Fridays from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The exhibit, viewed by more than a half-million people in 15 prior host cities across the country since its inception in 2005, chronicles the childhood friendship of Karol Wojtyla, later know as Pope John Paul II, and Jerzey Kluger, who became the Pope’s personal emissary to Israel. This friendship between a Catholic boy and his Jewish friend laid the groundwork for the Pope's historic visit to Israel, which helped mend 2000 years of painful history. “This is more than a Catholic/Jewish event. It touches every Arizonan,” said Nancy Splain, Blessing Project AZ committee member.  “The exhibit’s inspiring message of openness, respect, civility, dialogue and reconciliation is a timely one as we approach our Centennial and look toward our future together.”

The exhibit is divided into four major areas which cover four different periods in the history, the early days of their childhood friendship, the terrible years of the holocaust, the Pope's rise from priest to bishop to cardinal and their reunion twenty years after the end of the war, the Pope's rise to the Papacy and their work together to mend the division between the Catholics and the Jews. Each section of the multi-media exhibit consists of mural-sized photographs, videos, artifacts and historical documents that put visitors in the time and place of each section.

"A Blessing to One Another" is important as a living tribute to a powerful example of how friendships developed across different faiths and traditions can help bring reconciliation and healing to individual communities and the wider world.

The exhibition was created and produced by Xavier University, the Hillel Jewish Student Center and the Shtetl Foundation and is being presented in Arizona by the Blessing Project AZ and the Arizona Ecumenical Council, and hosted by the Carver Museum.  “A Blessing to One Another” has been endorsed by Rabbi Bonnie Sharfman, president, Board of Rabbis of Greater Phoenix, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and Dr. Lawrence Bell, executive director, the Arizona Jewish Historical Society.

Grand Avenue was built in 1888. It predated the railroad and was the primary route from Phoenix to Wickenburg to Los Angeles. The only diagonal road on the grid of Phoenix, its history is relative to the automobile industry. Most of the history of the buildings on the tour also relates to cars and travel. On the way to the first stop, the tour passed the Tilt gallery. This gallery and workshop space consists of two live/work houses within the Arts Overlay area. The two readapted homes were built in 1907 and are “Sears Houses.” These homes could be mail ordered. They came with molds to pour the concrete blocks that the homes are then built with. All of the bricks are exactly the same, which makes these homes easily identifiable.   Stop #1 – 748 W Pierce St The first stop was 9th & Pierce, a purple painted building on the corner. Once a corner market in the 20s, it became a livery garage in 1925. The space was commercial on one side and a home on the other. Venue Projects – Kitchell Perez, a developer focused on adaptive projects, and the Office of Desert Architecture, an architecture firm, now share the building. The building is split by the original kitchen and bathroom.   Stop #2 – Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery Second on the tour was Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. The school has graduated over 1200 students of guitar making since it opened in 1969 as Juan Roberto Guitar Works. The Roberto-Venn School has newly moved to the readapted warehouse space. Originally, the warehouse served as an automobile tire business. When renovating, the school’s instructors did most of the work themselves to keep costs low. William Eaton, the Director of Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery, is also the Vice President of Sustainable Arizona, an organization geared to creating a healthy living environment in Arizona. With his sustainable knowledge, the school has taken a lot of steps to make the building as Earth-friendly as possible. They’ve left the original garage doors intact to decrease the need for air conditioning and utilize a lot of natural light. The school will eventually re-insulate the roof and possibly add solar panels.   Stop #3 – The Chocolate Factory Last, the tour visited The Chocolate Factory, a gallery space featuring the work of owner, Hector Ruiz. When his art isn’t on display, he features installations done by local and out-of-state artists. The building is most identifiable by its teal and black spray paint job. Appropriately, the building looks as though it is melting. Ruiz tries to rotate through the exterior art by offering the job to local graffiti artists. In addition, the garage door features a piece by El Mac, an artist famous for his southwestern influenced, spray painted portraits. Ruiz shared that he won’t paint over it. It has only been vandalized once. It was originally an auto-body shop, but that part of its history remains fairly hidden. The Grand Avenue area is the perfect place for re-adaptation of buildings to occur. With so many empty buildings with so much character, it’s hard for some people to stay away.]]> 18203 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/27/one-lexington-all-sold/ Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:39:34 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18249 It’s official, the 146 condos at One Lexington are 100 percent sold, marking a dramatic climb from the start of foreclosure proceedings to this Midtown Phoenix high-rise becoming one of the most successful real estate projects in Arizona in recent years. And what makes developer Rob Macdonald, owner of Macdonald Development Corp., particularly happy is that they were able to stay within two weeks of the sales timeframe they set for themselves when he took over the former Century Plaza project in January 2010. Nobody needs to remind the Vancouver, Canada-based developer that this occurred during one of the most difficult markets that Phoenix has ever seen. Banks were not lending, developers had limited credibility, and consumers were cash-strapped and commitment phobic. Macdonald was able to accomplish what seemed insurmountable to most at the time. Working with his partner in the project, Rob Hubbard, president of Comcore Properties Inc., based in Issaquah, WA, they assembled a strong team, secured the needed financing, finished the building with numerous upgrades - and cut selling prices by 50 percent.  'A True Urban Community' “It’s a true urban community, with every demographic,” said David Newcombe, project director with One Lexington and Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty in Phoenix (and partner of DPJ's Live Here section). He said the condos have attracted everyone from Scottsdale residents looking to go more urban, to employees at the nearby St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. Among the distinguishing elements are nearly 12-foot ceilings, a pool and exercise room, an expansive lobby, a parking garage, six penthouse suites, and a location just steps away from the Osborn light rail stop. "I am a happy home owner in One Lexington,” said Councilman Tom Simplot. “One Lex provides an exciting, unique urban living environment. I am often on light rail, which stops at our front door, so I am connected to all the fun nightlife and restaurants from downtown to uptown." [caption id="attachment_9528" align="alignleft" width="229" caption="One of six penthouses sold"][/caption] There is still approximately 6,000 square feet of commercial space left on the ground floor of the 17-story building. Tenants include the Urban Yoga studio, a construction firm, and a design studio; they are in contract with an unnamed restaurateur “that will appeal to the lunch crowd.” Relying On Relationships The development cost was $23 million, and Macdonald borrowed $11.5 million funding from HSBC, a global banking and financial services organization with whom his company has had a 25-year banking relationship. HSBC has funding his projects in cities such as San Diego, Vancouver, Seattle and Sacramento. Macdonald paid $100 per square foot. “Our involvement with the project completely depended on the developer,” said Andrew DiMiero, a director with HSBC in New York. “We would not have had the opportunity without Bob.” The biggest challenge for Macdonald when they took over the project was setting the pricing. The original developer was pre-selling the loft-style condos for more than $500 per square foot; they relaunched the sale of the condos for less than half the price, at $235 per square foot. Another tricky element was how to approach the remaining 15 owners who had purchased at the original pricing. But, noted Macdonald, they were happy to know that, unlike other Phoenix projects, they would continue to be sold as condos and would not be switching to rentals. They wanted to see the building finished and were pleased with the upgrades. “They were some of our biggest supporters, “ said Dana Voldrich, of Blueprint Global Marketing, a Vancouver-based company that had a strategic alliance with Sotheby’s International Realty to market and sell the condos. “They understood that we represented added value.” Macdonald noted they left the homeowners association with $350,000 in reserves. [caption id="attachment_7430" align="alignright" width="300" caption="A new Midtown resident's view"][/caption] Once An Office Tower The building was built in 1974 as a high rise office tower. Equus Development gutted the building in 2005 to convert it into condos. But halfway through construction, the company decided to add penthouse condos, which required significant changes and delayed the condo completion; all but 15 owners dropped out. Ultimately Equus went under and the construction lender, M&I Bank, sold the remaining condos to Macdonald. “He was a visionary guy, caught in a downdraft,” said Macdonald, crediting the former developer, Douglas Edgelow, of Equus Development, for the original concept.]]> 18249 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/11/01/plugging-brain-drain/ Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:00:07 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18254 [Ed note: Even though TEDxPhoenix is taking place in Mesa(?), we have to admit that some worthwhile events take place beyond our core. Here's hoping this one will take place in Downtown Phoenix next time.] Guest contributor Neda Tavassoli shares a view of TEDxPhoenix through the eyes of a couple who have been inspired by TED Talks to create an accessible, local TED experience. I have heard this story played out many times. A talented designer, an inspiring writer, a tech-savvy gamer leaves Phoenix in search of opportunity…elsewhere. Some argue that Phoenix doesn’t house enough large corporations or think tanks while others claim Phoenix shoots itself in the foot constantly by under-funding the arts and education. Whatever the reason, Phoenix seems to go through cycles of losing some great thinkers and leaders. Enter Wardah Jamil and Tomas Carrillo, a duo determined to plug the brain drain. Part power couple and part fraternal-like twins complete with the ability to finish each other’s sentences, Jamil and Carrillo have taken their passion for TED and turned it into a successful, local, non-profit event. TED, an acronym for technology, entertainment, and design, has earned a reputation for bringing together some of the world’s most dynamic thinkers and presenting them on stage in a series called TED Talks. Carrillo states, “I stumbled across a blog post featuring Tony Robbin's TED talk in 2006…the ideas that Tony explored regarding why we do what we do, was just enough brain fuel to start changing the way I looked at the world around me.” Carrillo may have initially “stumbled,” but his passion soon charged ahead. In collaboration with Jamil, he brought TEDxPhoenix to life. “Only a select group of people will get to experience a TED conference in their lifetime,” Jamil adds. High ticket costs and scarce availability make it just a dream for many. TEDxPhoenix is a locally organized not-for-profit event that brings people together around great ideas worth sharing and doing, and it is accessible to all. Going on the idea that “inspiration is infectious,” Jamil and Carrillo are bringing people from all over the world in hopes of sparking new collaborations. The theme for this year’s TEDxPhoenix is “______ for a Change,” and features a line up as ambitious as Jamil and Carrillo. Speakers include Kelli Anderson, a self-proclaimed artist, designer and “tinkerer” from Brooklyn, New York; Brenda Brathwaite, a game designer named one of the most influential women in the gaming industry by numerous trade publications; Jacob Soboroff, an AMC news correspondent and voting activist; and Samuel Chelpka , a four year-old reciter of poetry whose passion for words can bring adults to shame. While these speakers from various parts of the States will be here to inspire and interact with Phoenix audiences in a social environment, Jamil and Carrillo made sure to include talent from here in Phoenix as well, for according to them, Phoenix has no shortage of leaders. Linda Essig, head of ASU’s arts entrepreneurship program called p.a.v.e.; Michelle Blades, a musician who plays a mean ukulele; and Justin Beckett, chief and owner of the raved-about Beckett’s Table are a few of the Phoenicians who will grace the stage. That’s just the tip. For Carrillo, TEDxPhoenix is his way of giving back to a community that has given the native Arizonan so much opportunity. “You just never realize how inspired you can become with one simple interaction,” he states. He and Jamil hope to offer hundreds of these simple interactions to Phoenicians who seek to inspire, understand and experience. By the end of the event, attendees will have become TEDxers, a group who may be spread out all over the world, but who share the secret handshake of what it means to be a part of TEDx.

(pause) Did you suddenly have a sense of panic or dread? What if I told you it could actually be possible, in Arizona? How do I know? Because I’m living proof. After learning how much driving was taking a toll on my emotional health, not to mention my pocket book, I decided to put my car in park – permanently – and venture on foot. My commute: 16 miles. My solution: Public transportation. Before I took the plunge, I evaluated where I drive and how often I honestly needed my car. Church, dinner with friends, the occasional movie… did all these places require my vehicle? As for work, during rush hour I was spending an average of 45 minutes on the road, in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I would arrive at work disgruntled each day and by the end of the week, I would barely have enough money left over to celebrate the commuting conclusion at happy hour. However, thanks to the Valley Metro Light Rail, the pay off to park my ride was much greater. I only needed to add minimal time to my commute while significantly increasing my “happy level” meter, financial freedom and connectivity to my community. [caption id="attachment_18347" align="alignleft" width="231"] The author in costume at Tour de Fat[/caption] These are not new claims. Yet, some still hesitate. If you are considering making the switch, you wouldn’t be alone. More and more people are kicking the car to the curb for an eco-friendly way to get to where they need to go. The Tour de Fat New Belgium tour encourages an individual from each city to give up their car for a year. A great blog called The Gubbins Experiment highlights another individual who hit the pavement for a year and the happiness it gave. But, for some, resources such as carpooling, zipcars, the bus and (my favorite) biking do not seal the deal to ditch the wheels. So… let’s do the math. According to AAA, the average person keeps a car five years and drives 15-20,000 miles per year. Break that down: 20,000 miles. 1,000 gallons of gas/year. $4.00 = $4,000 dollars per year. $4,000 dollars. Just in gas.  Now the rest: Per year: Maintenance and repairs: $500 - $1000. Insurance: $1200. Taxes, financing and other miscellaneous fees… Grand Total: Over $6,000 a year ($500 per month) This figure is just to maintain having a car, even if you own it free and clear. (Read more in this 2008 consumer report.) Now does walking sound more attractive? A main reason for I see for why people continue to commute is that riding a bike or utilizing public transportation is seen as unattractive and compromising to one's independence. In reality, I beg to argue that minimizing car usage will increase your independent movement, while also increasing areas for social use. The alternative solutions shouldn’t be a last resort. Just because you have the money to maintain a car, doesn’t make it smart to continue driving down the street for a Starbucks. Why not walk? Through walking, riding my bike, and using the light rail, I have: 1. Discovered local businesses (keeps money in the state!) 2. Become more fit & found free yoga classes in a park (fresh air and no need for gym membership!) 3. Located two conveniently-located farmer’s markets (healthy eating!) And all the while, still maintaining friendships, attending events, and successfully doing my job. Trust me, this is doable. But, you have to take the first step.]]> 18271 0 0 0 6287 0 0 6300 0 0 6286 http://tdhurst.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/28/celebrate-halloween-deer-tick-crescent-ballroom/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:38:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18293 Have a dope costume but one night of dressing up doesn’t cut it? Pop on over to the Crescent Ballroom tonight for a pre-Halloween celebration with Deer Tick in your ghoulish attire. The Providence quintet band has played since 2004 but it wasn’t until the past year that they slowly made a name for themselves on the scene. It began as a solo project of John McCauley’s, lead singer and founding member. After hiking in Indiana with a friend, McCauley came home to discover a deer tick in his scalp, which is how the name was born. With live shows, he’d either play by himself or have several people play drums and keyboards. It wasn’t until recently that Deer Tick became a band with solid members. Ian O’Neil, Chris Ryan, Rob Crowell and Dennis Ryan joined McCauley onstage and in studio for the newest record, “Divine Providence.” With the addition of more members, the band gained a raw, edgy sound that differed from their known indie, folk feel. “Divine Providence” shows Deer Tick at a whole new level that may surprise old listeners. It still has a nice kick to it, with McCauley’s scratchy voice thrown on top of electric 70s-aura guitar. The band is known for their onstage antics as well. “If you don't want to get covered in beer or confetti at one of our shows, I'd suggest not standing up in the front,” it states on their website. Let’s just say we didn’t warn you. Folks with face make-up might want to take a step back from the edge of the stage.

To address a serious cash flow shortfall and prevent a shutdown, Actors Theatre must raise $70,000 by November 30 to complete its run of NEXT FALL, the season’s second production that runs from Oct. 28 to Nov. 13 and begin production work on HUNTER GATHERERS, the next show of the season.  An additional $170,000 must be raised by December 31 to allow the company to continue the season and another $260,000 is needed by June 30 to stabilize the company, establish a strong financial footing and move forward. “We are facing a crisis unlike any other in our history and our challenge is urgent,” said Producing Artistic Director Matthew Wiener.  “We know this is a particularly difficult time for many individuals and families and not the best time for us to go public with this plea, but, the harsh reality is that we simply have no other options.” Wiener said that even though Actors Theatre operated in the black last year - barely - and ticket sales have been solid this year, the company has been “crippled because private and corporate contributions, individual donations and grant dollars have virtually dried up.”  During Fiscal Year 2009-10, Actors Theatre’s contributed revenue was $668,368.  In FY 2010-11, it was $568,526.  So far this year since July 1, the company has generated only $45,012. Generally, for most not-for-profit professional mid-size theatre companies, ticket sales represent about 50 percent of annual operating budgets with contributed revenue through donations and grants making up the difference. “We know our goals and timeline are daunting,” Wiener said.  “We also know that we need a widespread, grassroots effort to make this happen because, given the current economy, there aren’t many angels out there.” Wiener said that the company has already taken significant steps to control expenses by cutting costs, reducing staff, freezing salaries, explored a merger, strengthened the board and restructured debt.  He said that additional measures have been put in place to create a new business model “once we’ve achieved our goals.” Those measures include reorganizing management to create a co-director structure separating operations from the artistic side.  Erica Black, who has been General Manager and has worked with Wiener for 16 years, has been named Managing Director.  Wiener will continue as Producing Artistic Director, while Black will focus on future business development. To develop more profitable programming, Actors Theatre will introduce new, lighter-fare off-season programming similar to “summer stock” to generate income.  The first summer show will be “The Wallace and Ladmo Show” in a collaboration with Desert Foothills Theatre and Centennial Theatre Foundation. Wiener, who has not taken a paycheck in three months, said that Actors Theatre staff “believes so strongly in this company, they are deferring part of their paychecks to next year.”  Black has not received a paycheck in six weeks. “It’s common knowledge that our financial stress has not come overnight,” Wiener said.   “We felt that having finished in the black and with good ticket sales, if we could hit our fund-raising goals, we would be able to continue moving forward.  Unfortunately, even our 25th-anniversary fund-raising efforts didn’t make goal.” Wiener is asking for donations that range from one-time contributions to regular monthly pledges.  Donations can be made online at www.actorstheatrephx.org or by mailing a check to Actors Theatre, PO Box 1924, Phoenix AZ 85001. He also asks that individuals use their personal email and social networking communities “to spread the word quickly and efficiently.” For more information, call Actors Theatre at (602) 253-6701 or visit the website.]]> 18427 0 0 0 13312 http://www.downtownphoenixjournal.com/2014/12/19/actors-theatre-leaves-stage/ 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/10/28/vintage-fashion-online-picks/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:56:29 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18437 Vintage Fashion Inc has been a staple in downtown Phoenix for years.

Arizona Centennial Announces the Highly Anticipated Commemorative Specialty License Plate Portion of $25 Specialty Fee Benefits Arizona Centennial 2012 Foundation Supporting Educational Events & Project to Recognize Arizona’s 100 Years of Statehood The Arizona Centennial Commission & 2012 Foundation in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Transportation is proud to unveil the long-awaited Arizona Centennial Commemorative Specialty License Plate, available for purchase Mon., Oct. 31, by visiting  www.AZ100Years.org or www.ServiceArizona.com; and in all ADOT Motor Vehicle Division and Authorized Third-Party offices around the state. The Arizona Centennial Specialty Plate is another emblem that marks Arizona’s 100 Years of Statehood upcoming on Feb. 14, 2012. “We have one of the best state flags ever, and we wanted to be sure to incorporate the flag’s colors and design into the theme of the Centennial specialty plate,” noted Karen Churchard, executive director, Arizona Centennial Commission and 2012 Foundation.  “It’s an attention-grabber; we’re thrilled with the result, and we invite all to purchase and enjoy it as we celebrate Arizona’s 100 Years of Statehood. “Arizona has quite a story to tell -- its accomplishments, history and leadership, and the specialty plate is a high-profile, glowing reminder for all of us to take pride in Arizona’s history as the 48th and last of the contiguous states.” There isn’t another state centennial celebration for nearly 50 more years, when Alaska and thereafter Hawaii mark their 100 years of statehood (2059). Benefiting 2012 Foundation Proceeds from the specialty license plate fees will support the nonprofit 2012 Foundation and the free signature events and projects produced to educate and excite about the history, beauty and growth of the state over the last 10 decades. Design Designed by Phoenix design firm P.S. Studios, the highly anticipated specialty plate, as is the process for all specialty plates, was approved by the Arizona Legislature and its design was officially approved by the Arizona Centennial Commission, ADOT and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.  Arizona Centennial specialty plate numbers and/or letters will be flanked by an “A” on the left and a “Z” on the right (as in “A0000Z”). The specialty plate is only $25, of which $17 benefits the Arizona Centennial 2012 Foundation, a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to education and recognition of Arizona’s 100 Years, established by the Arizona Office of the Governor to commemorate 100 years of statehood. Funds will support Arizona Centennial Signature Events and Projects, including the Arizona Experience Museum, an Arizona Centennial Legacy Project. A story developed by The Arizona Republic in July (by Ginger Rough, Stephanie Russo and Matt Dempsey) indicated that more than 518,000 license plates (or just fewer than 8 percent) in Arizona were specialty plates, more than doubling the number of specialty plates in 2002 when 4 percent or 205,000 were specialty plates. The Veterans license plate is reportedly the biggest seller with 42,276 in circulation as of March last year. Second is the “Historic Vehicle” (28,106) plate; and third is the “Child Abuse Prevention” specialty plate (22,684). Purchase an Arizona Centennial Specialty Plate.  The specialty plate is just $25, and proceeds benefit the 501 (c) 3 non-profit Arizona Centennial 2012 Foundation.  Visit www.AZ100Years.org to purchase the specialty plate.

The Arizona Centennial Commission, through its nonprofit Arizona Centennial 2012 Foundation, is the statewide board charged by Governor Jan Brewer with planning and implementing Arizona’s 100th anniversary of statehood.  In collaboration with the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission, more than 209 projects and events are sanctioned and planned-to-date to commemorate Arizona’s Centennial.

In its fourth year, the local shopping experience expanded to an indoor space in an effort to serve the community on a more consistent (almost daily) basis. This week marks the two-year anniversary of that indoor endeavor and Cindy invites you to help celebrate this milestone. Dear Downtown Phoenix Community, For the past 2 years, Urban Grocery & Wine Bar has served as your local grocery store in Downtown Phoenix. And we want to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary with you! Join us for a special evening on November 2, 2011 (coinciding with the Wednesday Open Air Market) that will feature the unveiling of the new mural on the west side of the Urban Grocery store by our Community Mural Contest winner, Joseph "Sentrock" Perez! From 4 to 8 p.m., we'll have birthday cupcakes made by Tracy Dempsey Originals, $3 food truck specials (including birthday themed ice cream from Sweet Republic), and a special "Wines & Weiners" pairing provided by Sand Reckoner Vineyards and Short Leash Hot Dogs. There will also be live music by Dan Sell and a Sonoran Brewing Beer Tasting. It would mean a lot to us if you could join us to celebrate this special event, because the Phoenix Public Market and its Urban Grocery & Wine Bar would not be what it is today without you. Thank you, as always, for your support. Cindy Gentry Executive Director, Community Food Connections P.S. McKinley Street is open!

Yep, they are ripped from our inbox.) “I don’t have a bad memory of ice cream,” Jesse Robinson, the founder of The Sweetness ice cream said. “The worst tragedy in the world could happen, but if you have ice cream, it makes things just a little bit better.” With a lack of ice cream shops in downtown Phoenix, Robinson decided to open his own ice cream business, The Sweetness. On Friday, the Fair Trade Café on First Avenue and Roosevelt will hold a grand opening event for The Sweetness. The Sweetness will only serve super-premium ice cream made locally and specifically for the business. Super-premium is the highest quality ice cream, the same grade that Häagen-Dazs uses. Robinson became passionate about ice cream after living in Boston for seven years, where he said that small ice cream shops were popular. When he moved back to Phoenix, he missed having a locally-owned ice cream shop to visit. So Robinson decided to open an ice cream business of his own. “I love Phoenix, and ice cream is really simple. It’s a no-brainer because everybody really loves it” Robinson said. The motto of The Sweetness is “Just Better Ice Cream.” Robinson said he believes that ice cream doesn’t have to be complicated. The flavors of The Sweetness are familiar, like mint-chocolate chip, and are always made at the highest quality. The ice cream will also be served late nights, open Thursday through Saturday until 2 a.m. and Sundays until midnight. In the developing stages of his business, he had dinner with one of the co-owners of Fair Trade Café, Michele Lavis-White, to talk about life as a small restaurant owner in downtown Phoenix. The original plan was that Robinson would open a shop of his own, but after talking, Robinson and Lavis-White came up with an idea. The Sweetness would be served at Fair Trade Café.  Part of Fair Trade Café’s mission is to support local business any way they can, so working with The Sweetness seemed like a great idea. Lavis-White said, “With the economy how it is, the more small businesses band together, the more likely we are to see the other side of this thing.” The coffee flavored ice cream will be made with Fair Trade Café’s coffee.  They will also offer a specialty drink called an affogato. For an extra dollar, customers can get a shot of espresso with a small scoop of ice cream.]]> 18689 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/11/03/tuneyards-crescent-ballroom/ Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:16:31 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18813 Crescent Ballroom to welcome Tune-Yards for their first visit to Phoenix. We talked with bassist Nate Brenner about touring, the new album and the all too common conversation about Arizona weather. Tune-Yards has a colorful history. It started as a solo project of Merrill Garbus, armed with just a looping pedal on stage. Shortly after, she released her first album in 2006. She was asked to tour with Dirty Projectors and needed to add a bass on stage with her, so Nate Brenner joined her on tour in 2009 and has been playing with her ever since. The band released a second CD, “who kill,” earlier this year, which was recorded fairly quickly by writing songs to “fill in the blank” on the CD and recording some that were old touring songs. “We were playing a lot of them live before the studio,” Brenner said. “They didn’t need a lot of work arrangement-wise.” Merrill spent more time editing the songs and making the album less live sounding and more of a studio recording. “It was the first time we had invited some saxophone players,” Brenner said. Since then, they have added two saxophone players to the tour, creating what sounds like a 12-person band with only four members.  Of course, Merrill still works her looping pedal and makes beats on stage. On this “who kill” tour, they decided to visit places where they haven’t played before, such as parts of Canada, Milwaukee and Phoenix. “We just got back from Iceland like two weeks ago,” Brenner said. “It was freezing rain and everything. Phoenix will be a nice treat.” While in Iceland, Yoko Ono came on stage with the band and sang with them, Brenner explained as if it was part of the norm. Phoenicians can look forward to an innovative show from the small group, whose unique and quirky pop beats will have everyone dancing. You will leave with a huge smile on your face. So don't miss the chance to catch the Tune-yards tonight at none other than the Crescent Ballroom.

Utilizing the digital technology network of Emerging Pictures, FilmBar will offer a wider variety of films, as well as live performing art events such as works from London’s Royal Opera House and Russia’s Bolshoi Ballet. FilmBar owner, Kelly Aubey says, “As a 70 seat, single screen theater, I have struggled to offer the wide variety of films I had envisioned to our diverse customer base, while keeping our ticket pricing affordable. The Emerging Pictures’ technology allows me to do just that, and I’m thrilled to be able to bring the highest quality live performing arts events from all over the world to Downtown Phoenix.” FilmBar will be available for rentals and special events on Monday evenings, Tuesday nights will feature a different documentary each week - with standup comedy following, Wednesday will feature classic films, Thursday night will be cult-ish film night, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday will showcase new releases. FilmBar will also continue to be available for daytime weekday rental, as well as bringing in a variety of dj’s to the lounge and play host to various late-night events and performances in the theater. About FilmBar: FilmBar which opened in February 2011, is a 21+ beer/wine lounge with over 30 different craft beers, 15 different wines and a separate, sound-proof room dedicated to screening new, classic, cult and local independent films in a micro-cinema setting, with seventy comfy seats.

Old news. But this "buy local, think global" ideology seems to have stopped at our closet doors in Arizona. Joy Li, a Scottsdale-based fashion designer is making bigger strides to source her work in the Valley of the Sun. Previously, Joy has worked with factories in New York and Los Angeles to manufacture her clothes – two cities with strong garment industries. Joy’s decision to have her clothes made in Arizona, is not a cheap one, but she’s creating jobs. It would be much easier and cost-effective to have clothes made in China. [caption id="attachment_18901" align="alignleft" width="194" caption="Past collection. Photos from Joy Li."][/caption] Alas, Joy takes the high road. Joy’s price point is on the higher side, but her consumer is not complaining. Joy Li gives us relevant, interesting and ravishing clothes - thoughtful design that starts from sketches and ends with seams. Joy gave me a preview of her Fall/Winter collection. As usual, she did not disappoint. Tantalizing hues of burgundy, mustard, deep blues and her signature deposit of black and grey were also added to the collection. Joy’s well-rendered and functional clothes are must-own for modern ladies who appreciate shape and sleek style. Joy has created a line that could be taken apart, but each garment can hold its own. Standout items included her "Victoria" dress, an above-the-knee length dress made from a silk/cotton/stretch with divine body-defining darts and details that were on the back and carried to the neckline. In the same fabric, but in red, Joy has perfected the fall equestrian pant in this collection. And the hands down highlight of the line is her outerwear, which includes massive colors, horizontal zippers and a plethora of detailing on each article. Joy is showing this stellar collection tonight, you'll find her invite to the right. Yes, it's in Scottsdale, but I highly suggest a purchase from Joy's F/W collection. This local designer can make all Phoenicians proud.]]> 18896 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/11/10/local-local-local/ Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:15:45 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=18903 The best thing about Greater Downtown Phoenix isn't just the fantastic food, great energy and friendly people, but the increasing diversity of local businesses that thrive there.  Greater Downtown Phoenix increasingly says "local" with its great selection of restaurants, shops, places to go and things to do – and that includes music. The Certified Local Fall Festival is happening this Saturday at the Duck and Decanter in Uptown, at 16th Street and Camelback. The show is free and fun for the family and kids. It’s the perfect opportunity to soak up the last of Phoenix’s beautiful weather, check out the booths of local businesses, and drink a cup of coffee outside or beer if that's your fancy. Beer and wine gardens will be set up. The festival starts at 10 a.m. and goes until 4 p.m., featuring local solo artists and bands. The lineup includes Zachary James Dodds, Brian DeMarco, Tammy Patrick and the Merkin Wranglers, Terraplane Station, Adam Smith and Loose Cannons Blues Band. Not a bad way to start off the weekend. Saturday night at the Crescent Ballroom, The Love Me Nots are playing for $10. Lead singer Nicole Laurenne is taking charge of the Crescent’s stage with her slick black boots and killer voice. You won’t want to miss her whip her straight hair back and forth as well as dance like there’s no tomorrow. So you’d be able to support a local restaurant, show, festival, band and venue all in the span of one day.

The Nov/Dec edition hits the streets 11/11/11.) BUNKY AND MISTY DRESS DOWNTOWN The economic clinch is still lingering. Business owners in the orbit of retail have to shine brighter than ever by constantly reinventing themselves, and yet, at the same time, stay true to the roots of their brand to maintain a comprehensible consumer image. In addition, those dealing in fashion have to answer to the never-satisfied beast of ‘trend’ -- in today, out tomorrow. Two Phoenix stores that are privately owned and flourishing are Bunky Boutique and Vintage By Misty. Bunky Boutique is a hip and happening store owned by Rachel Malloy. Bunky, which has been open for four years, carries contemporary brands that are unique and approachable in design and price. The explosion of glamour on Central Avenue, otherwise known as Vintage By Misty, is a mishmash of Missoni and other vintage gems that is owned by Misty Guerriero.

The Nov/Dec edition hits the streets 11/11/11.) ART BY DESIGN Phoenix Art Museum’s fashion design curator Dennita Sewell is one of those responsible for placing the Valley of The Sun in fashion’s spotlight. [caption id="attachment_19049" align="alignleft" width="179" caption="Dennita Sewell"][/caption] Sewell has appeared on Martha Stewart’s television show and, most recently, her newest exhibit has been in Elle magazine and the topic of conversation with Andre Leon Talley via Vogue.com. In the Vogue.com article, Andre talks with Yves Saint Laurent’s Stefano Pilati, expressing his interest in the Giorgio di Sant’Angelo exhibit at Phoenix Art Museum. The late Giorgio di Sant’Angelo could be considered a keystone designer of the "hippie chic" look, as Sant’Angelo mesmerized with bold prints and ultra-feminine cuts in his designs. The exhibit will explore Giorgio’s work through the early 1970s on. The exhibit opened runs through February 12, 2012. I discussed the exhibit with Dennita. You comment that di Sant'Angelo's work was “Hippie anti-fashion style” -- how will we see this throughout the collection? [caption id="attachment_19048" align="alignright" width="142" caption="Provided by Phoenix Art Museum"][/caption] When di Sant’ Angelo started working in the later 1960s, a costumey style trickled up into high fashion that was influenced by the folkloric-style dress that young people and “hippies” favored. The term “rich hippie” was coined to identify the style as it was interpreted by designers such as di Sant’ Angelo, Yves Saint Laurent and others. These were high-end clothes sold in upscale department stores, such as Bonwit Teller and Bergdorf Goodman. There were great changes in women’s identity and roles in society at that time. These new freedoms manifested in fantasy-based designs evoking, gypsy dress, Native American dress, historical dress, peasant dress and the like. Di Sant’ Angelo wanted to give women a sense of individuality through his clothes, which evoked the freedom of the cultures they were inspired from. In the exhibition we include works from his earliest collections based on gypsies, natives as they were manifested in the early works, but also how these ideas emerged again in more streamlined and refined versions in later years. How long have you been working on this exhibit?  I guess you could say since the mid 1990s, when I first learned of his work, but the actual organizing and layout of pieces has taken place over the last few months. Andre Leon Talley, via Vogue.com, voiced interest in the exhibit. Can we expect Vogue’s contributing editor to pay the museum a visit? Talley knew di Sant’ Angelo and was a great fan of his work and of Lena Horne, who di Sant’ Angelo dressed. He is graciously lending a coat di Sant’ Angelo made for Lena Horne to the exhibition. He had hoped to be able to speak at the Museum this fall but had a conflict in his schedule. We will have a terrific round of speakers coming in, including Pat Cleveland, who was among the vanguard African American models, and di Sant’ Angelo was among the first to use them in his shows. Also speaking will be the Julia Chapin, the author of Gypsy Style, a very cool book on the rich hippie jet setters of the period. Phoenix Art Museum | 1625 N.

Yep, they are ripped from our inbox.) Arizona Centennial Welcomes Ceremonial Tour of Union Pacific Steam Locomotive Engine No. 844 Here comes another Arizona Centennial Signature Event.  This time, Arizonans can take a celebratory trip back in time when the historic Union Pacific Steam Locomotive Engine No. 844 reprises the Southern Arizona “Sunset Limited” route, and traverses the state through Wed. Nov. 16, in recognition of Arizona’s 100 Years of Statehood. Phoenix display days are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, and Monday, Nov 14, at the Phoenix Rail Yard, 631. S. 7th Street (south of Chase Field/Lincoln St.). This is a FREE opportunity for the public to see the locomotive. For the full tour schedule, visit az100years.org. “We’re honored to deliver another, very special Centennial Signature Event and see that mammoth engine travel through Southern Arizona, Phoenix and on to Yuma during this momentous year,” said Karen Churchard, executive director, Arizona Centennial Commission & 2012 Foundation. “The adventures of steam locomotives captivate us even today.  They literally blazed the trail westward.  And, it’s exciting – for train enthusiasts and all of us -- to catch a glimpse of the West as it was more than 100 years ago.” Indeed, the skilled engineers who operated No. 844 years ago are still required today, and especially so for this ceremonial Arizona Centennial tour, which traditionally fascinates history buffs and attracts new fans as well. From Phoenix, Steam Engine No. 844 makes its way back to its original route near Casa Grande, and continues west through Gila Bend, Wellton, and finally arrives in Yuma late afternoon, Tues., Nov. 15. The massive steam engine, a size two-and-a-half times larger than today’s streamlined, computerized locomotives makes a modern-day expedition a challenging task.  A team of engineers travels with the historic train that consumes oil, water and needs adjustment every 20 to 30 miles. To reach fans in the state’s most populated area, the added two-day ceremonial stop in Phoenix means the train will depart from its traditional Southern Arizona route and move northward into what is considered a cul de sac of train tracks that requires extra maneuvering and expertise. The engineers who guide the locomotive tour are another historical aspect of the expedition since they work for years studying the generational knowledge passed on from railroad workers before them. They apprentice to master the inevitable adjustments and sometimes on-the-spot ingenuity required during travel.  Steam Engine No. 844 will travel with a souvenir car, water tanker cars vital for the steam locomotive’s operation, transport cars for the engineers and conductors, and more. Not since 1977, has a steam locomotive made its way through Southern Arizona as part of a cross-country tour for the U.S. Bi-Centennial.  The exultant whistle stops are expected to be greeted by enthusiastic residents and visitors alike this fall, just as cooler temperatures embrace the Southwest region. The exultant whistle stops are expected to be greeted by enthusiastic residents and visitors alike this fall, just as cooler temperatures embrace the Southwest region. No. 844, also known as Union Pacific's "Living Legend," returned to service in 2005 after one of the most extensive steam locomotive overhauls in the United States since regular steam service ended. The work, which started in 2000, included overhauling the locomotive's running gear, pumps, piping, valves and springs, along with replacement of its firebox and extensive boiler work. The cab interior also was refurbished. No. 844 was the last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific Railroad and was delivered in 1944. A passenger locomotive, it pulled such widely known trains as the Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited, Portland Rose and Challenger. One of the rail cars that travels with No. 844 has a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) transmitter integrated with a map at www.UP.com.

As I’ve been venturing via bike across Phoenix and Tempe, I’ve noticed the shift. Whether it’s helping with Valley of the Sunflowers, biking co-ops, or Audubon’s conservation efforts, communities are indeed connecting with one another and uniting on issues that matter. Whatever the cause, people are there making an impact. Collaborative Consumption Groundswell Video from rachel botsman on Vimeo. Technology has a huge role in this movement. Want to be involved in the Willo Historic District? There’s an email newsletter for that. Training for P.F. Chang’s Marathon? There’s an online meet-up group for that. Volunteering opportunities at the Roosevelt Row Growhouse garden? There’s a blog, online news articles, and Facebook events for that. Even these cool kids at Co+Hoots, a collaborative workspace environment, seem to be in the know with co-working magic. (Read more here) All these people are coming together to make REAL change and it’s incredibly simple to get involved. Collaboration at your fingertips. Yet, collaboration brings some interesting challenges. As more and more people are coming together, the dire need for easy accessibility rises. Some urban cities are paving the way, literally, to make accessibility a reality. [caption id="attachment_19118" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Eugene, Oregon"][/caption] Take Copenhagen for example. It is the largest city in Denmark, home to approximately 1.2 million people in the metro area (200,000 shy of Phoenix’s population), with one-third of those people riding bikes. Highlighted as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, Copenhagen has an urban infrastructure that supports a connected lifestyle. A big attribute to this movement is the introduction to the Bike Sharing System, which allows riders to pay a deposit (which they get back) to rent the bike as needed. Eugene, Oregon is also known for its pedestrian-friendly efforts, quoted by Bicycling Magazine as one of the top ten cycling communities in the United States. While Phoenix doesn’t have a bike-sharing system (yet), we still have a rich, diverse community who seek to connect. As a community, we can support change and enhancement of the physical structure in order to accommodate more bike and pedestrian-friendly access. However, we need to shift the way we think. Which brings the question: Why collaborate? Supporting a more collaborative lifestyle increases your access to valuable resources, whether that’s access to local foods and gardens, carpooling options to get the kids to soccer or reducing the spouse’s long work commute, to simply connecting with your neighbors and getting involved in the area where you live. In 2011, I don’t think of knocking on the neighbor’s door as a 1950’s kind request for sugar; I think of it a genuine desire to connect, letting my neighbor’s know they are welcomed and my resources are available to them. The days of not trusting your neighbor are slowly dissolving with neighborhoods that reflect this collaborative model. It builds trust, which then allows communication to flow. The Willo Historic District newsletter, for example, is keeps its readers on alert for suspicious activities, building that sense of trust and security. This is part of the collaborative mindset. Uniting communities together says, “This place matters and I want to be a part of it.” With that type of mindset, anything is possible.]]> 19116 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/11/16/eat-words-rice-papers-banh-mi/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:20:49 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=19132 Located along a flowering urban stretch of 7th Street between Palm Lane and Virginia Avenue, amid Coronado’s western hem, exists the dewy, contemporary Vietnamese eatery Rice Paper. Rice Paper is certainly a charming place. Cramped with a quirky, colorful and innocent modern aesthetic that is contrasted starkly by the aging mortar of the space’s original bones, Rice Paper’s deliberate visual mix translates literally to its menu―serving core Vietnamese values teased for slightly more Westernized appetites. [caption id="attachment_19143" align="alignleft" width="159" caption="Spring Rolls"][/caption] However, tempered Vietnamese or not, Rice Paper provides some wholeheartedly tasty eating. Offering an array of familiar Vietnamese classics, or takes on classics, like their namesake fresh spring rolls (here nearly burrito-sized furls of soft rice paper filled with snappy herbs, greens and an array of carnivorous and vegetarian proteins alike), warm brothy bowls of pho (savory noodle soups that garner a ramen-like cult following by many enthusiastic food hunters), crispy chicken wings (their best being the option with the tangy, salty fish sauce glaze), and, of course, the hallmark banh mi sandwich. [caption id="attachment_19140" align="alignleft" width="159" caption="Crispy Wings"][/caption] A love child of Euro-Asian colonialism, the banh mi of today has become an unofficial gateway bite into what Vietnamese cuisine can provide, showing striking contrasts between mild and sweltering, salty and sugary, smelly and fragrant. Everyone loves a satisfying, balanced sandwich, and at Rice Paper, there is no mocking that―it delivers. Known for its chewy, crusty baguette frame (an ultimate banh mi make-or-break), filled with interchanging layers of savory protein, raw vegetables’ sweet and bitter crunch, zesty herbs, and often the added glue of chili sauce, a great banh mi is most definitely sandwich hall-of-fame material. [caption id="attachment_19141" align="alignright" width="189" caption="Grilled Pork Banh Mi"][/caption] Pork being one of the most popular banh mi stuffings, Rice Paper offers two distinct versions: a seasoned, slow-braised option more complementary to barbeque pulled pork shoulder, and a more straightforward take, with the meat less manipulated, lightly charred on the grill, then chopped. The former is more overtly flavorful, the latter more subtle in its inherent pork attributes―smoky at first, finishing sweet as you complete the wondrous chew. Rice Paper was never intended to be a substitute for those fantastic, stalwart Vietnamese dives we all love. We can all name our favorites. Rather, it’s about diversity in context and options, and that’s always a good thing. And in this case, a very good tasting thing. Welcome to the neighborhood, Rice Paper.

He was also a staunch supporter of the controversial $1.1 million multi-modal transportation plan which includes the multi-city light rail system. As a city councilman, Stanton supported revitalization efforts including the relocation of the Translational Genomics Research Institute to Phoenix. After a vigorous campaign focused on pulling the City of Phoenix out of its current economic slump, Stanton earned a decisive victory and pledged to improve education and make the city’s economy more diverse. This dialogue provides the opportunity to learn more about Stanton’s vision for the future of the City of Phoenix and the challenges the new mayor will face as he seeks to implement his plan.

The event, “Phoenix in Transition” was presented by Valley Leadership as part of their Community Dialogue series and moderated by 12 News reporter Melissa Blasius. The event was an overview of the role and vision of Mayor-Elect Greg Stanton and insights and advice from outgoing mayor Phil Gordon who has served as mayor for the past eight years. Stanton was given the opportunity to articulate his ideas and vision for Phoenix and how he would put his campaign promises into action. Mayor Gordon was greeted with a standing ovation when he came on stage to give his opening remarks. He spoke about important accomplishments in Phoenix since he was elected, highlighting the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus and METRO Light Rail as major components of downtown’s revitalization and the regions economic strengths. Mayor-elect Stanton was also greeted with a standing ovation when he came on stage. He thanked the volunteers for his campaign and its successes before launching into his energetic and optimistic opening statement. “We are not just in a leadership transition,” he said, noting that Phoenix is in a transition of growth still trying to figure out who and what it wants to be. Education will be a “relentless focus” so that Phoenix can compete in the international market. Taking the Reigns After opening statements, Stanton and Gordon joined Blasius on stage for an open conversation. Stanton said he believes Phoenix is a well-run institution but that there are ways to make it better. When asked how he would be different from Gordon, Stanton said that he planned to serve on regional boards like MAG and Valley Metro. “We will sink or swim as a region,” he said. Both men agreed that the mayor plays an important role not just in Phoenix but in the state. Stanton cited the biomedical campus as an example of how the mayor of Phoenix can be out in the public making the case for such projects that benefit Arizona as a whole. Stanton also recognized that a strong downtown core benefits the entire city and the state. With inauguration day just weeks away on January 3 the best advice Gordon offered the incoming mayor was to “get some rest,” reminding the incoming mayor that there is still a lot to do downtown that will keep him busy. Ideas Into Action After the conversation, Blasius spent time with Stanton one on one. She began with some lighthearted personal questions (his middle name is John; he’s left handed; drinks a lot of coffee; is in the middle of reading "Bird on Fire" and prefers to spend his free time with his children) before getting to the harder political questions posed by the audience and taken from Facebook. He answered questions about pension reform, how to keep the best and brightest in Phoenix, light rail extensions, and sustainability. “Unless we get sustainability right, we can’t compete long term. We are a desert city and we have to do better. On my staff we will have a sustainability expert. Sustainability should permeate every decision,” he said. “We should be a leader in solar, but solar is just the beginning of the conversation.” When asked how to bring more people downtown he answered that the people who live downtown should be included more in the decisions that affect them. “They have the best ideas,” he said. “They know what downtown needs to attract more people.” He also spoke candidly about rethinking the role and influence of the Phoenix Community Alliance and the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. “This isn’t a knock against anyone,” he said but “we need new blood in the downtown apparatus.” [caption id="attachment_19300" align="alignright" width="184" caption="Mayor-elect Stanton with Susan Copeland, Downtown Voices Chair"][/caption] A Downtown Advocate After the hour-long event, author and community activist Donna Reiner commented that Stanton is, “consistent, sincere, and understands the management of the city. He’s a different type of champion than Gordon.” Susan Copeland, Chair of the Downtown Voices Coalition liked what he had to say about more community input regarding the needs of downtown as well as bringing in new leadership. “We need to expand the power base. There are a lot of people who live and work downtown who have a lot of great ideas,” Copeland said. Before leaving the Herberger Theater, Stanton mingled with the crowd in the front courtyard. He told DPJ, “I’m not in rivalry with former mayors. I stand on their shoulders and want to build on what they’ve done. I’m going to be a relentless advocate for this community.” You can read Mayor-elect Stanton’s First 100 Day plan here.]]> 19294 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/11/21/wire-chow-locally-wins-title-arizonas-great-business/ Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:00:44 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=19318 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

The city of Phoenix received the fourth-largest grant amount during this funding cycle. HUD received more than $500 million in funding requests from communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico for the $96 million in available funding. During the next three years, the Reinvent Phoenix Program will promote, encourage and provide incentives for transit-oriented development along the light rail line to provide all residents with safe, convenient access to quality, affordable housing, well-paying jobs, education and training programs, fresh food and healthcare services.

The Phoenix Urban Research Lab at Arizona State University recently announced a call for artists and designers to re-imagine its 20-foot by 20-foot model of Downtown Phoenix, which has been an important tool in discussions about the city’s development. “We want to engage local and national talent to do this, helping us think of new ways to use the model to address the central role of design and place-making in the achievement of sustainable urbanism,” PURL’s website states. Assistant Director Aaron Kimberlin says PURL has never done this process before and he is excited to see the ideas people come up with. “Right now it’s a stagnant model that only serves basically one purpose and that’s just to show the scale of downtown,” he says. “I believe that it should integrate more technology and it should be enhancing the numerous ideas that the city has.” The model, which was built by ASU students, cannot be changed or deconstructed, but additions and improvements can be made. The current model is made up of more than 20 tiles, but the original only had about six to eight tiles. “It has its constraints, but I think in order to work with those constraints you have to get creative, and that’s why we went for an ‘all call’ of designers and artists,” Kimberlin says. All proposals must be submitted by January 15 and three finalists will be selected on February 15, according to the website.  The public will vote via Facebook and Twitter to determine the finalists, who will each win a $250 prize and whose designs will be featured at the opening reception of PURL’s Urban Design Week in April. The three finalists will also meet with PURL staff to discuss the implementation of their projects. President Michael Crow and Wellington “Duke” Reiter, the former dean of ASU’s College of Design, launched PURL in 2005 as a place to conduct research regarding the Phoenix metropolitan area. The program consists of design professionals as well as undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students ranging from urban planning to architecture to landscape architecture. Kimberlin says PURL, which is located in the 1928 Security Building at Central Avenue and Van Buren Street, has been instrumental in downtown Phoenix planning and was one of the main players in organizing ASU’s Downtown Phoenix Campus. The lab also works on ongoing initiatives that acknowledge various issues in the Phoenix metropolitan area by providing innovative solutions to improve the urban environment.

Born in Birmingham, Michigan, and raised in Scottsdale, Spade began his career by performing stand-up comedy in clubs, theaters and colleges across the country. He made his television debut on "Saturday Night Live" and was soon named the Hot Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. Some of Spade’s memorable characters on "SNL," where he served as both a writer and a performer, included the sarcastic “Hollywood Minute” reporter on “Weekend Update” and he also started the catch phrases “And you are…?” and “Buh-Bye!” Nominated for a 1999 Emmy Award, an American Comedy Award in 1999, and a Golden Globe in 2000 for his memorable role as Dennis Finch, the wise-cracking, power-hungry assistant on “Just Shoot Me,” Spade can currently be seen in the popular CBS comedy “Rules of Engagement.” The half-hour sitcom centers around three men, in different stages of their relationships: married, engaged and single and stars Spade as the content bachelor and serial dater.

Depending on who you ask, opinions on vegetarian dining―in particular the type that intently plays to mirror more carnivorous experiences―can be polarizing. For enthusiastic food lovers of all stripes, this rings especially loudly. Without delving too deeply, Green feels like it’s trying to strike middle-ground. It also feels successful at doing so. It’s a tenacious, animal-free eatery that aims to be accessible to all. Serving bites influenced Asian to Italian, Californian to Southern American, the menu exists without the easy assistance of animal fats, meats or the like―mock proteins dominate. Of the many sandwiches on Green’s menu, their infamous Secret BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($8) is one of their proudest. Thin medallions of faux chicken, tender as the poultry it mimics can be, sit on a toasted roll with charred onions and mild peppers, lacquered in a sweet crimson espresso barbeque sauce that faintly teases Asian undertones. A dollop of vegan mayonnaise helps add body. The No Harm Chicken Parm sandwich ($8) is even more successful, with the mock meat cutlets deep-fried, perfectly flaky, bathed in a sweet marinara sauce and glued together with a satisfying, molten mound of vegan mozzarella. If there was ever a carnivorous deception that didn’t matter, it existed with this sandwich. Sides like the hardy tahini coleslaw ($3), addictive samosas ($4.50), and the terribly good thyme-flavored French fries ($3), all continue to indicate that unlike similar vegetarian outposts of yore, where befuddling flavor inadequacies dominated, Green represents a fresh brand of animal-abstaining ethos - a generation where the sentiments remain, but its creativity and craft have been encouraged to evolve. Green New American Vegetarian and its neighboring sibling Nami, the pint-sized coffee, ice cream and bakeshop (read: all vegan) that sits immediately across its tight parking lot, both live along 7th Street, just north of Palm Lane―a vibrant stretch of asphalt that keeps bearing fruit.

Samuel Beam’s soothing, let’s-sit-next-to-the-fire voice is remarkable in every album. He recently flipped a switch with his music on “Kiss Each Other Clean” and took a risk in adding an electronic pop sound. The leap is different but still brings the magical feeling an Iron & Wine song usually gives off. For all the lucky individuals going to this small intimate (plus sold out) show, get ready to be hypnotized by Beam’s voice (and beard). For everyone else, here’s a playlist to reminiscence and imagine what the show would be like. 1. “Cinder and Smoke” (Our Endless Numbered Days, 2004) One of Beam’s slower hits but a great one to keep. The man can do wonders with a simple acoustic guitar. Even when the song is over, listeners will continue humming the closing humms and nuhs. 2.  “Each Coming Night” (Our Endless Numbered Days, 2004) Beam has an amazing way with words. It comes as no shock that in just four paragraphs, he can say everything that most people have trouble with putting into words. 3.  “Boy with a Coin” (The Shepherd’s Dog, 2007) If this song doesn’t make you want to clap along, we have no idea what would. It repetitive clapping and subtle guitar is infectious and fun to listen to. 4.  “The Rooster Moans” (The Creek Drank the Candle, 2002) From his first album, this raw, southern banjo song shows an early stage of Beam that most people don’t know about. It makes for a great toe-tapping song. 5. “Teeth in the Grass” (Our Endless Numbered Days, 2004) The twangy guitar breakdowns make this song a must. 6. “Rabbits Will Run” (Kiss Each Other Clean, 2011) This song will astonish most Iron & Wine listeners with its jungle-type beats and hypnotic layering of different rhythms and noises but Beam’s vocals perfect the tune with eerie echoes and hovering last words. 7.  “Me and Lazarus” (Kiss Each Other Clean, 2011) Within the first 15 seconds of this song, you should already be hooked in with the jazzy, funk bass line which is something different in Iron & Wine’s songs. By the middle of the song, trumpet pops in for a nice surprise leaving you to wonder what else is coming along the way. 8. “Sodom, South Georgia” (Our Endless Numbered Days, 2004) The perfect song to add to a long roadtrip with winding roads surrounding nothing but good ol’ nature. Beam’s voice is haunting and slightly creepy singing about dead white boys. 9.  “History of Lovers” (In the Reins, 2005) A quirky song from Iron & Wine/ Calexico’s EP with horns, a slight pop sound and a hint of banging on piano keys. 10. “House by the Sea” (The Sheperd’s Dog, 2007) Even though its over a minute until vocals come in, the opening music gives a taste of fairytale-like keys and a Spanish style guitar that gives a little funk to the album.          ]]> 19496 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/12/02/wire-artlink-first-friday-glance/ Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:48:58 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=19537 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

The festivities will take place at the Phoenix Public Market, one of 12 Downtown Phoenix organizations and businesses co-hosting the event. Loosely inspired by the “Festivus for the Rest of Us,” the Phoestivus Market will host Feats of Strength, a Phoestivus Pole and an Airing of Grievances. According to Get Your PHX founder and Phoestivus lead organizer, Ken Clark, “We have a vision for an open air holiday market that celebrates locally-owned businesses and locally-produced food. We want to create a tradition that will be here long after we are gone.” This year’s the market will double in size, with food and gift vendors to be accompanied by local gourmet food trucks, popular with diners throughout Phoenix: Short Leash, Hey Joe, Mojo Bowl, Emerson Fry Bread, Beet Street, Jamburritos and Mamma Toledo’s Pies. The first 100 attendees of either evening will receive a free Phoestivus Goodie Bag, contributed by Local First Arizona and event partners. The community event is sponsored by the Phoenix Public Market, Get Your PHX, CenPho.com, Downtown Phoenix Journal, Downtown Phoenix Partnership, FilmBar, La Picolla Cucina, The Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA, Local First Arizona, Oasis on Grand, Phoenix Community Alliance, Phoenix New Times and Roosevelt Row. The first Phoestivus Market launched in 2010 as a pilot project. With limited resources, the grassroots effort featured over 40 vendors, 6 food trucks and drew over 500 attendees. With increased partner support and community participation, organizers anticipate over 2,000 participants this year. UPDATE: The 2011 Phoestivus vendor line-up:

Maybe three is a magic number after all. Even though Scottsdale appears in the name, the event is happening in the Warehouse District in Downtown Phoenix at the Levine Machine on Grant Street tomorrow night from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. [caption id="attachment_19619" align="aligncenter" width="426" caption="Levine Machine, 605 E. Grant St. http://levinemachine.com/"][/caption] The organizers Bob Diehl, Andrew Knochel and Jim McPherson decided on a TEDx Salon because the smaller event allows for a more focused theme. This intimate setting provides the audience a better opportunity during intermission and at the end of the night to discuss the ideas presented. TEDx Salons can be weekly or monthly to keep the community engaged between the larger TEDx events. It was Knochel who came up with the idea of discussing Third Places. These are the places in our lives that are neither work nor home, but those places where we socialize, eat, celebrate, sometimes cry into a beer, and where we meet and share ideas with other people in our communities. What is about these Third Places that we love? What factors make these places so great that they are memorable enough that we habitually return to them? “The theme began as the design of Third Places, and morphed into a more broad discussion of Third Places from the proprietors' perspective," Knochel explained. He approached Jeff Fischer, the owner of Lux, Craig DeMarco, co-founder of Postino, Windsor and Churn, as well as Marianne Belardi who helped open and run Cowboy Ciao and Kazimierz in Old Town, and Margaret Bruning who ran Scottsdale’s public art program for many years as associate director of Scottsdale Public Art (she currently serves as Director of Civic Art at Los Angeles County Arts Commission). DeMarco and Fischer will address the issue of starting a Third Place; Balardi will address the softer, human aspects of commercial Third Places such as design, scale, and location; while Bruning will speak about non-commercial Third Places like public art. A video of a TEDTalk by Nathaniel Kahn called “My Architect” will be also be shown. The night is sure to bring out strong ideas and opinions. It’s also a chance to learn more about and to celebrate the great Third Places that already exist in Metro Phoenix.

Here in Phoenix, it’s still a breath of fresh air. Thanks to owners Ken and Lucia Schnitzer (Luci’s namesake), that village need for something more comes in fine form. Part coffee spot, bakery and fast-casual dining option, Luci’s also retails a realistic crop of naturally-minded, healthy grocery items. It serves solid edibles and wares in an approachable, colorful space that delivers personality without novelty. Respectably, Luci’s is a magnet not meant to absorb beyond its immediate radius. Visiting with expectations of a one-stop supermarket experience, making mental checklists of what Luci’s may or may not offer in comparison, creates unfair expectations. Luci’s is meant to supplement a diverse, varied urban lifestyle―grab a solid cup of coffee, pick up an extra carton of almond milk or bottle of chilled white wine to-go, polish off well-made sandwiches on the way home from work when ideas of eating in seem cumbersome. At Luci’s, it’s about the little things, done quietly well. Besides a decent coffee roster, Luci’s selection of baked goods could easily satisfy even the most particular. With the made-to-order eats, from Belgian waffles, flapjacks and omelettes at sunrise, to fresh salads, sandwiches, burgers, melts and daily soups as the day rolls on, Luci’s covers an otherwise limited stretch exhaustingly well―boilerplate grocery store takeaway this is not. To its immediate neighbors, Luci’s is a trophy. It’s a tasty, practical amenity within arm’s reach, providing simple solutions to routine needs. Above and beyond, to the city as a whole, it’s a humble beacon of continued things like it to come. Hopefully, to a neighborhood near you.

Roosevelt Row is offering an opportunity for shoppers to not only get their gifts purchased, but to also help beautify Downtown Phoenix with sunflowers. On Friday, December 9th, come downtown for Shop and Share. Supporting businesses are donating 10% of their sales from that day to Valley of the Sunflowers. Participating Locations: Bunky Boutique, Butter Toast Boutique, Galeria De Los Muertos, GROWop handmade+found, Jobot Coffee Shop, Made art boutique, Mercantile Vintage, Nachobot, Pita Jungle, Roose Parlour and Spa with new businesses signing on everyday. In August 2011, Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation (CDC) leased a vacant parcel in the Evans Churchill neighborhood in downtown from the City of Phoenix to grow a 2-acre field of sunflowers. Today the sunflowers are blooming! Valley of the Sunflowers (VOS) is part of Roosevelt Row’s A.R.T.S. (Adaptive Reuse of Temporary Space) Garden Program, which activates vacant land in Roosevelt Row Arts District through greening initiatives. This A.R.T.S. Garden project, Valley of the Sunflowers, is a partnership between the Phoenix Union Bioscience High School and Intel Corporation. In August & September, the students and over 500 community volunteers cleaned up the parcels, spread organic fertilizer and planted over 60,000 sunflower seeds. The art classes at Bioscience have been drawing the plants in their various stages of growth and the biochemistry classes have been doing soil tests. In late December the flowers will be harvested and pressed for seed oil to produce biodiesel fuel to power the Bioscience High School’s hybrid solar/biofuel car. To date, over 3,000 people have volunteered at the Valley of the Sunflowers. While snow falls in the east coast, in Downtown Phoenix, sunflowers are blooming and families are coming downtown to photograph their holiday portraits in a field of sunflowers. Funds still need to be raised for the second season of sunflowers, which will be planted in late January. The A.R.T.S. Program addresses the issues of vacant urban space by putting dirt lots into productive use throughout the Roosevelt Row Arts District. Programming includes the A.R.T.S. Markets, gardens, public art projects, cultural fairs, outdoor films, and concerts. Phoenix Union Bioscience High School is a unique science-focused, small high school that is responding to the burgeoning science, technology and engineering industries. The courses are developed around student interests and are intended to prepare students for future study and jobs that do not yet exist. Bioscience offers a full, four-year curriculum with integration among the disciplines. Located in the hub of biotech research, medicine, arts district and higher education in downtown Phoenix, and through partnerships with the community, students have the opportunity to collaborate beyond the walls of the school and experience real world learning. Roosevelt Row CDC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established to further the unique character and assets of the Roosevelt Row Arts District connecting the four historic neighborhoods immediately north of the downtown core – Garfield, Evans Churchill, Roosevelt, and F.Q. Story. The organization also advocates for the continuing role of the arts in the revitalization of downtown Phoenix and fosters a dense, diverse, and walkable urban environment. Programs include an annual business directory, new murals, tree plantings, vacant-lot activation and support for new and existing businesses and community organizations in the area.]]> 19638 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/12/16/mag-thinking-michael-crow/ Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:00:32 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=19478 (From the Mag brings you excerpts and continued conversations from DPJ Magazine, a bi-monthly print publication distributed throughout Greater Downtown Phoenix and beyond. Find the rest of the interview with President Crow in the latest edition DPJ Mag, now available online.) Arizona State University President Michael Crow talked about the vibrancy and design of the city's center with DPJ guest editor David Leibowitz. David Leibowitz: How important should good design be to the city of Phoenix? Michael Crow: Design is essential; it is adaptation to place to make all the natural features of the place work to our benefit. The desert is naturally cooling at night, as opposed to the city which is naturally heat absorbing. If we can change our design, our structure, we can change the cost basis for air conditioning. We can maintain species. We can change water transpiration rates. We can change the way the city works, both environmentally and economically and from the livability prospective itself. We have a tremendous opportunity to use design to our advantage to enhance livability. Now, it’s already livable. How do you make it fantastically livable so that everybody wants to be here? The attrition rate is not trivial. Lots of people come, they experience the summer, they experience what happens at night, in the morning and then they leave. Imagine those people not leaving and being able to attract anyone to a fantastically livable place. We’re going to have to design and engineer some of that to make it work. DL: How might Phoenix be engineered differently? MC: We have a range of ways that we can engineer surfaces. We can engineer rooftops, shade structures. We could engineer buildings that change the nighttime heat index problem. That means we have to think it through. We have to build a unique city rather than just a transplant city. And that requires rethinking design, rethinking materials, rethinking structures. And from that you’ll be able to have the city grow without becoming a place that never goes below 95 degrees at night. Or eventually never goes below a hundred. DL: Where are we in the continuum of downtown evolution? MC: I think we’re still in the early stages which is good; we’ve got high energy in the early stages. I do think the progress will continue; I think it really needs to continue. And I think that we’re early and that’s good, because that means we’ll be able to take advantage of renewable energy technologies. We’ll be able to take advantage of advanced nano materials. We’ll be able to take advantage of new engineering techniques. All of which could make Downtown Phoenix into an absolutely unique kind of venue. It has many of these now and it’s done very, very nicely up to this point. We need to keep all that going. DL: You have said that Phoenix’s competitive advantage is ours to lose. What did you mean by that? MC: We have all of the natural assets. We have a beautiful location, beautiful place, relatively happy environment, a successful ability to advance, to do things, to make things happen. So, we have to figure out how to make all of that work. And in making all of that work, with all the natural assets, it’s going to extend our competitive advantage. It’s ours to lose. If we don’t figure out how to urbanize, if we don’t figure out how to fill the Central City, if we don’t figure out how to build intensity, then we will lose to other places that have fewer natural advantages. Downtown needs to become a place of visually intense energy. And that’s an energy hung in between sectors or groups. Sports, finance, education, business, technology – all those things are required to make a vibrant downtown.]]> 19478 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/12/08/wire-3rd-annual-phoenix-tequila-fest/ Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:55:01 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=19705 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

The theme of the night was "Urban Placemaking and Third Places," those spots in our communities where we rub elbows with strangers, make new connections and create memories. They are the spaces where “everyone knows your name” and equally charming because you never know whom you’ll bump into. These Third Spaces give a city character. They are necessary to community vitality because they embrace us. As one speaker put it, these spaces make life more humane through the social interactions they provide, the interactions we intuitively crave as human beings. In his opening remarks, Bob Diehl, one of the organizers of the event (along with Andrew Knochel and Jim McPherson), stated that the Valley of the Sun is at a crossroads. “How it got here cannot be how it moves forward, unless we want to be left in the dustbin of history. Dialogue will help the city move forward.” [caption id="attachment_19731" align="alignright" width="175" caption="Marianne Belardi"][/caption] And that’s what TEDx events aim to do through rousing talks from people in the community who are on the front lines changing the landscape and culture of the city. The weather may have been chilly and dark but the Levine Machine felt warm as it was lit up by the power and optimism of bright ideas. The first speaker of the night, Marianne Belardi gave a talk titled, “People Who Need People.” She reminisced about the Third Places of her youth and the nostalgia they created. “Third Places offer sustenance with a side of sociability,” she said. Places like farmers markets, coffee shops, even open mic nights create a place for community connections. [caption id="attachment_19723" align="alignleft" width="187" caption="Craig DeMarco"][/caption] Craig DeMarco, owner of Postino, Windsor, and Churn spoke about urban redevelopment and not taking no for an answer. He shared a story of a trip through small towns in Italy where he frequently wound up at the local wine bars. Back in Phoenix he searched for the same spaces for a similar experience but found none, so he and his wife set out to create it. They faced challenges from neighborhood opposition and the red tape of the city, but they succeeded by never giving up the dream. Today his business ventures are recognized as some of the best local restaurants in the Valley, unique for purposefully being tied to the history of the neighborhoods where they are located. (The original Postino is housed in the old Arcadia post office building and Windsor is located in an old building tucked into the Windsor Square neighborhood.) [caption id="attachment_19726" align="alignright" width="183" caption="Jeff Fischer"][/caption] He announced to the attendees that the stretch of Central Avenue north of Camelback near Windsor will have bike lanes added by narrowing Central Avenue from 6 lanes of traffic to 4 to create a more pedestrian friendly environment for the neighborhood. Jeff Fischer spoke next about his concept for Lux, considered one of the best coffee shops in Phoenix. The only speaker to deliver his remarks sitting down, he spoke in verse with the passion of an artist explaining the nuances of his latest masterpiece. “Lux is a personal confession,” he said. [caption id="attachment_19729" align="alignleft" width="183" caption="Margaret Bruning"][/caption] The evening concluded with speaker Margaret Bruning, the former associate director of Scottsdale Public Art. She spoke about public art as a Third Place because it “becomes a portal for others in the community to create their own experiences.” “It’s our job to take advantage of our public spaces, private spaces, coffee shops. People crave authenticity to mingle, walk and learn something new.” Along the banks of one of the Valley’s greatest assets, the 131 miles of canals, more pedestrian pathways and public art are being developed because, “that’s the community's living room.” The theme for the next TEDxScottsdaleSalon is “Rethinking the Grid” and will be this Saturday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the Scottsdale Museum for Contemporary Art.

This community initiative is dedicated to civic art practice that explores the connections between ecology, culture and community that shape our understanding of our lives in our environment. Mayor Gordon named Desert ArtLAB a “friend of Phoenix” and even declared August 19 as “Community Cacti Planting Day.” On Saturday December 10, over 80 people gathered at Parque Libertad in Garfield on the northwest corner of 9^th and Roosevelt Streets to participate in another mass cactus planting. Desert ArtLAB confirmed that Parque Libertad, a collaborative initiative by local artists Breeze, Desert ArtLAB, DOSE, Hood ride, Phoenix Hostel, and Phonetic Spit, would continue to be the location for future projects. Volunteers plotted out a square space across the solid dirt lot then began to dig holes for the nopales (cactus pads) to be planted. While others were digging, artist DOSE was at work creating the first of many murals to come at this location. The dirt was packed so tightly that even breaking through it with a pic-axe was no easy feat. Some people dug up red bricks buried 8 inches under the dirt, possibly bricks that were once the foundation of a house. The digging left some people with blisters and brow sweat but this isn’t vanity activism, it’s hard work. The cactus pads used to activate this once dead space came from a larger prickly pear cactus in Tempe. Someone had torn out the large cactus and thrown it in a back alley, where Desert ArtLAB found it, hauled it downtown, chopped it up, and replanted it- recycling at its finest. Desert artLAB created this time-lapse video of the project to document the progress. Check out their Facebook page for updates about the project and ways to become involved.

The Phoenix Boutique Owners' Happy Hour grew from a simple but common occurrence. While I was working at MERCANTILE (downtown style shop with vintage women’s and men’s clothes and accessories), customers would exclaim delightedly that they loved MERCANTILE…did I know of other shops in the area that were similar? Of course I did!  I found I was hand-drawing maps and directions to other independent boutiques for nearly every customer who came in. I thought there’s a need here. Not for another map or directory, because Phoenix already has excellent maps. DPJ prints an outstanding First Friday map, along with the work Local First Arizona and the New Times' Jackalope Ranch blog put into showcasing independent shopping, dining and entertainment. Something different was needed. What if the shop owners, the people who work at the boutiques, gathered on a regular basis? What if the boutique owners had an opportunity in a personal and informal atmosphere to share their small business best practices and customer lists, to build professional connections and to foster greater collaboration across a similar theme - independently owned boutiques with vintage, handmade, or unique goods – apparel, housewares, furnishings, art. All of us who work in these fab shops know one thing (among many!) – that the customers who come in our stores WANT to shop in another, and another, and another and we should help them do just that. From there the first Phoenix Boutique Owners' Happy Hour was born. Host one – attend 11.  Shop owners host one happy hour per year (approximately) and are invited to attend the other boutiques' Happy Hours all year long. We started in March at MERCANTILE, since then we've had April at Blueberry Deluxe, May at Paris Envy, June at Gallery Hazel, July at Practical Art, August at Antique Sugar & Zinnia’s on Melrose Mall, September at a.ware, October at The Roose Spa & Butter Toast Boutique, November at Gallery Hazel and we are finishing out 2011 back at MERCANTILE on Tuesday, December 13. By August, we decided to open up the invite list to include current and new customers. Monthly happy hours are open to the public. On deck for 2012 (exact dates TBD), we have January at Modern Cat Studios, February at MADE art boutique, March at Floral Keepsakes, April at Bunky Boutique, and May at Noble Beast Natural Food for Pets.

Last week, news broke about the Marni for H&M collaboration. In general, I’m thrilled about the collaboration. I am just curious to see how the Arizona market takes to an eclectic brand like Marni. What Consuelo Castiglioni (founder of Marni) began as a side business to her husband’s fur company in 1994, has since become a brand that is a favorite for fashion editors and unconventional dressers everywhere. Clashing colors, a sense of frivolity and stance on style that screams "grandma-chic," Marni makes some of the most interesting clothes out there. Mega-brand H&M has certainly capped the quirkiness of the brand to appeal to a larger audience. From what I’ve seen, the collaboration still is most respectful to the mavens of Marni: not too diluted with commercial insult. Limited images of the collection have been shown, but from what I’ve seen, it’s not bad. Skirt-suits in a bold dot pattern paired with a tee-shirt, and chunky baubles and summer dresses that are cut to create shape, rather than define the body, are shown in a funky 70’s print. The men’s section of the line is nothing to write home about – a kind of minimalism that’s been overplayed in seasons past – short trouser, light sweaters paired with a sandal. Definitely not moving mountains. When shown by H&M, Versace and Lanvin flew off the racks in Scottsdale. This came as no surprise, but I’m thrilled to see if Phoenicians go for Marni in the same manner. With no studded neon and a ton of tulle to hide behind, Marni, unlike Versace and Lanvin, is a very acquired taste. I have a feeling the accessories will be the hot-ticket for Arizona ladies. The line is set to be released on March 8, 2012. Images via H&M.

Wayne Rainey, an urban pioneer looking to pump some life back into Downtown, bought the rundown complex in 1999 and, in an affordable housing deal with the city, brought it back to life as live/work/exhibit space for a steady stream of young artists throughout the last decade. As Rainey recalls, “Holgas, (along with other early outposts like Rainey's monOrchid Gallery, Kimber Lanning’s Modified Arts and Greg Esser/Cindy Dach's eye lounge) was part of a conscious effort to build a critical mass of artists and art spaces to help bring people back to Downtown Phoenix.” Over the years, Holgas has suffered some highs and lows, and recently Rainey decided to sell. Phoenix-based installation artist and fourth generation Phoenix farmer Matt Moore spotted the “for sale” sign and decided to stop and check it out. And here’s where serendipity comes in. As he was walking up to the building, Gordon Knox (Director of the ASU Art Museum) and Greg Esser (Director, ASU Art Museum’s Desert Initiative and owner of several downtown art spaces) were walking out. Turns out, Moore and Knox knew each other from Moore’s time at the Civitella Raneri Foundation, an international artist residency in Perugia, Italy where Moore had been invited to stay a few years earlier. Knox, the one responsible for the creation of that residency (and a few others), was now at ASU. “My seven weeks in this artist residency program in Perugia, Italy was an amazing experience. It was so important to me as an artist, particularly the social interaction with other artists from all over the world, that it had become my dream to cultivate that kind of environment for others,” says Moore. Running into Knox and Esser that day set the wheels in motion for Moore and his painter wife, Carrie Marill. They’d been looking for studio space for themselves and Knox was looking for space to start a residency program for international artists in Phoenix. “Holgas had what we needed: room for our studios, spaces for other artists to come together, and a great location with proximity to coffee houses, restaurants and the creative mind of the area,” said Moore. Over coffee the partnership was born. [caption id="attachment_19975" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="A retrospective celebrates 10 years."][/caption] Moore, Marill and Moore’s parents together purchased the building and are spending the next few weeks spiffing things up a bit before the first international artists (coming from Italy, France and Mexico) begin arriving for their residencies on January 15. “When artists become successful in Phoenix, they hit the proverbial glass ceiling and often they leave. We see developing this residency as a way to keep vested in Phoenix, to move forward on creating an even more creative environment in Phoenix,” said Moore. Rainey is happy with the prospect of an international artist residency program coming to Holgas. “My one wish for the future is that Holgas continues to have a positive effect on the life of the city.” To celebrate the spirit of Holgas and some of the artists who made it their home over the years, Rainey is hosting “Holgas – 10 Years Gone, A Retrospective” at monOrchid Gallery on Friday night, December 16.  Join the fun and celebrate the passing of the torch with an all-star show of Holga’s alumni.

The combination of these elements produces a thriving habitat for people to experience life and connect; this is how we were designed to dwell. If you live in Phoenix, we sadly did not make the top 10 “livable cities” cut. According to Forbes in 2010, Pittsburgh, PA and Ogden, Utah come in strong, with their unemployment rates, low crime, income growth, cost of living, and artistic and cultural opportunities. Yes, believe it or not, livability can actually be measured.  The­ Economist developed the Economist Intelligence Unit as a resource for global intelligence research and analysis.  In the study of the 2011 Livability Ranking and Overview, Harare, Zimbabwe came up as the least livable city, while surprisingly being home to 3 million people, double the size of Phoenix. Factors attributed to this ranking include high levels of petty theft, civil conflict, and poor public transportation. So, even though a city is ranked as “least livable,” people still live there. How, then, does one develop “livability” in a city? It starts by building from the blocks of living standards: quality health care, culture and diversity, employment and income, affordable housing, high education standards, economic growth, safety, recreation, transportation and access to natural resources. If a city has these areas cemented in their foundation, the people residing within can develop and grow, attributing to their quality of life. Other surveys have been conducted, producing different results. But, of all the results, one fact is clear: if a city is united in its decisions and collaborates to bring decisions to action with the heart of the citizens in mind, happiness is a natural byproduct. [caption id="attachment_20002" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Vision for the road remake in Orange Beach, Alabama. Courtesy of walklive.org."][/caption] That is a point The Walkable and Livable Communities Institute proudly illustrates. Founded by Dan Burden, one of the primary leaders in livability efforts, being named by Time magazine as “one of the six most important civic innovators in the world,” the Institute stresses that connected, walkable communities are the primary source for well-built environments and provide options for people to have an “active-living” lifestyle. In Phoenix’s development over the years, this has not been the case. We are famously known for our “sprawl” and poor design. Ten years ago, ASU and AARP conducted a Livable Community Evaluation Guide, highlighting similar areas of transportation health, and safety as areas to study. Fast forward to 2011, our Downtown area has the wide contrast of the recent Metro Light Rail running alongside empty lots and barely, if any, pedestrian roadways. To be a more livable city, we first must exist in our space and support initiatives to bring livability to life. How? By supporting local businesses to bring money and keep money in the state, voting for political candidates that support pedestrian development, making our voices heard at community gatherings for city projects and our presence known around  in the streets by biking and walking the Downtown areas, and creating a sense of community. Little by little, we can gather the building blocks to start the process. Together, we possess the ingredients to make this city the next great livable community.]]> 20000 0 0 0 6551 http://bloomingrock.com 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2011/12/20/governors-arts-awards-nominations-deadline-extended/ Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:22:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20088 midnight tomorrow, December 21, 2011.

Melancholia features Kirsten Dunst in a dark comedy about a young woman confronting her personal demons in the face of global catastrophe. Dunst received the best actress honor for her performance at the Cannes film festival this year. FilmBar’s owner, Kelly Aubey, is very excited to be screening Melancholia, and sees it as a major step in making significant independent films more accessible Downtown. It reflects Kelly’s main goal for 2012, “By the end of 2012, supporters will trust us for film. If it’s playing then it’s good!” When FilmBar opened in the Evans Churchill neighborhood, it was a welcome and needed addition to a culturally blooming Downtown. Aubey is both proud and grateful for all of the FilmBar milestones reached in 2011. As he puts it, “I was amazed about how it all came together. It is very rare that implementation of a vision comes together, which relied so much on the support of people. If you can accomplish 80% of what you planned, you are a success.” [caption id="attachment_20168" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Kelly Aubey, FilmBar"][/caption] But, FilmBar reached beyond 90% of what Kelly expected. When asked about lessons learned from 2011, Kelly said, “You have to be patient and persistent. Be willing to hang in there and don’t be afraid to experiment.” He has found that the best way to advertise your business is to continue to improve your direct connection with fans. General marketing may be an “easy fix,” but it might or might not reach people. Kelly spoke very highly of cooperative efforts with local partners and reaching out to groups throughout the community that would appreciate good film. Kelly went on to add that consistency is important in responding to what your fans want. “Reach out directly instead of expecting them to come to you.” FilmBar has started a variety of new features such as Cult Film Night on Thursdays that has featured screenings of Monty Python and The Holy Grail and The Coen Brothers’ classic The Big Lebowski; Foreign Film Night on Wednesdays with films like Kurosawa’s Rashomon and Truffaut’s Breathless;  as well as screening underground films and classic cult films. Cross marketing partnerships are in the works (and will be announced soon), which will dial into major events in the city. In addition to screening films, FilmBar has been an avid supporter of local events such as Pecha Kucha presentations,  highlighting local achievements like the Valley of the Sunflowers project with Biotech High School, to serving local brews from the Phoenix Ale Brewery.

The year was 1986 – Terry Goddard was Phoenix Mayor, a Hollywood actor was in the White House, the Apache Trout was named the official state fish, and Halley’s comet shot across our sky – at the same time an artist was on a meteoric climb to super stardom. That artist was Keith Haring, fresh from opening Pop Shop in NYC and painting a mural on the now defunct Berlin Wall. Haring had arrived in Phoenix to conduct a drawing workshop at the Phoenix Art Museum. During a drive through downtown, he took notice of the lack of art and proposed creating a mural.  A partnership was put together quickly that included Haring, the Phoenix Art Museum, South Mountain High School and the City of Phoenix. The City supplied the paint, and Mike Prepsky, a teacher at South Mountain High School, arranged for about 60 students to work with Haring for a week of December mornings to create an amazing piece of art for downtown. [caption id="attachment_20111" align="alignleft" width="215" caption="Hartfield’s Dress Shop on the SE corner Central and Adams Streets."][/caption] The location was the old Hartfield’s Dress Shop on the South East corner Adams and Central (now a small parking lot). Keith began free-handing the 125-foot mural in his characteristic bold outlines and invited the students to fill in the white spaces. They were instructed to completely fill in their area with bold colors, but they quickly began writing their names, making dots or drawing other images.  When the unexpected additions were brought to Haring’s attention, he recognized they were making the mural their own and they were encouraged to continue. [caption id="attachment_20114" align="alignright" width="156" caption="Marshall Shore celebrates the Keith Haring mural's 25th anniversary with a Beatrice Moore "cake.""][/caption] The mural remained on the building for the next five years. In 1991, the City considered selling the mural to raise some money, but stipulations in the original contract stated that it was to be displayed for a year and then destroyed. Because the mural was painted on the untreated plywood that had covered the windows of the building and had spent five years exposed to the sun, it was a wreck and people had begun defacing it. So, the City hauled the Keith Haring mural to the dump and that is where the story should have ended. Later, however, a section of the mural was spotted in an art space on Madison and Central called the Faux Cafe, (now defunct). After that it disappeared entirely and a shroud of mystery surrounds its whereabouts today. Happy Birthday to the famous Keith Haring mural of Phoenix, on this, the 25th Anniversary of its creation! Prepsky documented the collaboration with a video camera, which included footage of Haring working, the kids painting and various people who visited the scene, including Terry Goddard. Check out the video of Haring and the students in the act of bringing this remarkable artwork to a corner of Phoenix.  ]]> 20109 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/03/wire-mayor-council-inauguration-ceremony/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:33:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20199 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

John Caird, the creator of Les Miserables and three other Broadway plays, again reaches back in history to pluck out a fun, entertaining story. The composer Paul Gordon, Tony winner for his only Broadway appearance to date, Jane Eyre, wrote the lyrics and score. The female lead, Megan McGinnis, with five Broadway productions in her resume, created anew the role established by Ruth Chatterton oh, so long ago – with gifted direction, a precious libretto, and a competent male lead, Robert Hancock, accompanying her. Daddy Long Legs is celebrating its centennial this year, written first in serial novel, then dramatic form by Jean Webster, the daughter of one of Mark Twain's publishers, as a series of letters between an orphan to the unknown benefactor who paid her way through college. The play did a short stint on Broadway, toured America for years, was made twice into a movie – once starring Mary Pickford, once Leslie Caron (accompanied by none other than Fred Astaire), and disappeared from American bookshelves, stages and movie theaters for the past 55 years or so. I've read that Caird got the story from his Japanese wife, learning that it remains popular there and in France. I leave it to you to ponder why as you see the play. [caption id="attachment_20222" align="alignleft" width="161" caption="Megan McGinnis in Arizona Theatre Company's Daddy Long Legs. Photo by Tim Fuller/ATC"][/caption] I haven't read the book, original script nor prior treatments, but in this treatment the character exposition and development from a relatively ignorant, immature girl to a self assured early 20th Century college graduate is handled deftly and feels utterly true. I have a 19 1/2 year old daughter and have recently witnessed that age-sensitive metamorphosis. I won't describe the plot further, so that you can see it unfold for the first time. Professionals at the top of their game have touched this production throughout and I once again experienced the magic of theater. The audience gave a spontaneous, universal and enthusiastic standing ovation to send the actors home from their Phoenix Premiere. ATC has now survived, actually thrived, into its 45th Season. With Sunday's Phoenix premiere of Daddy Long Legs, it is easy to see why. ATC has brought to us a Broadway bound musical. Or maybe not - Broadway is already booked, and there may be union regs against the headcount. But in the meantime, the show has been sold out for most of its two-year tour. I'd be surprised if the Valley didn't welcome it the same way. And tickets are available for half the price they'll fetch on Broadway. Featured Photo credit: Tim Fuller/Arizona Theatre Company

You might be forgiven if you picture yourself on the Turf Accountant's west facing patio bidding Sláinte to the warm winter sun. But from now until that day in March when many of us temporarily change our nationality to Éire, I like you to think about stout in a new way, one owing to the humid tropics as much as the cool fog covered Cliffs of Moher. I'm asking that you consider stout as a Jamaican would and have a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout at The Breadfruit. Available in the US since the Fall of 2010, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout traces its roots back to 1801 when it was known as a West Indies Porter. According to Guinness, the beer was designed heartier for shipping abroad. Export beers are often more aggressively hopped and contain more alcohol than their domestic counterparts under the presumption that this will improve stability during shipping. This is not your father's dry Irish stout, unless of course, you have lineage in the Caribbean, Africa or Asia. The Guinness that most of us are familiar with is Guinness Draft, sold on tap and dispensed under a higher pressure nitrogen/CO2 blend or in bottles and cans containing a nitrogen "widget." It's roasty and coffee-like, with a creamy sensation aided by the cascading pour associated with the heavier body and nitrogen's inability to stay in solution. Guinness Draft finishes dry with a characteristic acidic sourness. In the 1960's, Guinness began shipping concentrated extract to breweries around the world to be blended with locally brewed beer using local ingredients like sorghum. Guinness brewed in warmer climes may have been fermented slightly warmer and fermented less completely than its Dublin brother. Warm and under-attenuated fermentation often results in fruity aromas and flavors with a finish that is more sweet than dry. As a result, today's Foreign Extra Stout differs in many ways than Guinness Draft. Foreign Extra is stronger in alcohol (7.5% vs 4.2% ABV). It's much roastier and can have bitterness that rivals an IPA--but those flavors are often balanced with a fruity esters and a sweeter finish. If you subscribe to the analogy that Guinness Draft is a coffee milkshake, then a Foreign Extra is a Kahlua and piloncillo infused Mexican Coffee. [caption id="attachment_20299" align="alignleft" width="179" caption="Rum Bar at The Breadfruit"][/caption] It's a beer of cultural fusion that fits right in with the European, African, Chinese and East Indian influenced Jamaican fare at the Breadfruit. The beer's roast and bitterness balances out the spices, while the stout's unexpected fruitiness plays off mango chutney, pineapple, rum and lime. There are no locally brewed versions of Foreign Extra Stout and none of the usual out-of-state craft breweries currently brew this style. Carly's Bistro used to carry Lion Stout from Sri Lanka, but the distributor is no longer selling it in Arizona. Perhaps Carly's will go back to the Coopers Best Extra Stout they had on their shelf years ago. For now, let The Breadfruit be your downtown Guinness.

It's a perfect blending of the old and the new and the living embodiment of how our history informs our future. Serendipitously, the inauguration of Mayor Stanton and new council members was about to be held at the Orpheum.

DPJ Fashion Editor Corbin Chamberlin chatted with Ken Downing, the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director of Neiman Marcus. Dressed in Gucci and looking divine, Ken discussed trends, sales and other fashionable happenings with us. Read our conversation with Ken below. What do you look for when you take on a new or young brand? There can be risk. When I look for a young designer, I look for someone who has a complete understanding and balance of creative and commerce. There is a lot of young talent out there who doesn’t understand the business aspect of what fashion is; they don’t always bring on really talented business people. I like to find young and emerging talent that has a solid understanding of business, someone like a Jason Wu, who was really more interested early on, to design the craft of dressmaking and building a business on his talent, instead of building a business on his name and his potential celebrity. Actually, I found Jason, and brought him to Neiman Marcus, before all of the excitement around him with the first lady. He’s the real deal. He’s very committed and has a real understanding of who his customer is. That is a really important part of it. A lot of people want to design clothes, but they don’t think about who their customer is. When they’re making these clothes and putting prices on them, asking ‘who that woman is’ and will she spend that much money on clothes. Talk to me about the Cusp project at NM. We're actually taking our contemporary world and re-branding it as ‘Cusp’. Not unlike what they did with 5F at Bergdorf Goodman. Instead of it being a really contemporary department, we're actually redesigning the look of it, so it will almost be a shop within the store. It will have a very certain point of view and a definite look in the interior. It will also have its own packaging and its own shopping bags. We're also going to be doing separate marketing, which will come under the Cusp label. We have a couple of freestanding stores now. I understand your sales of fur have rocketed. You know it’s been interesting. We have been selling fur at Neiman Marcus since July and it’s been hot all over the country, everywhere. It’s all about the new technology, a lot of it’s knitted, laser and lightweight. It’s remarkable, heavy wools and cashmeres don’t sell when it’s warm, but fur, is not affected. I feel a lot of the fur craze has been driven by the fur vest and chubbies, and the colors. Can we thank Anna for the fur sales? (laughs) Well, Anna is certainly a huge proponent of fur. We're seeing a lot of fur because designers are really trying to put luxury back into their collections. This started over a year ago. After the recession, people were trying to navigate the challenging financial climate that this country and world were going through. A lot of the beautiful details and touches became not as important in the collection, because it felt extravagant. Now that we're seeing a change in the economy – it’s certainly not cleaned up 100% – designers are feeling more comfortable about putting those luxurious touches back into their collection. As fashion director, how do you inspire consumers to open up their wallets and spend? A lot of it has to do with our catalogs. It’s interesting, when you open up a magazine, especially those big fashion issues like September, there is so much advertising and you need to really make a compelling campaign that burns through all the other add campaigns. As fashion director, I select all the pieces for the catalog from the front row to determine what’s going to be photographed in the campaign. I can’t tell you too much, but you’re going to be thrilled with our spring catalog. I really believe in giving women confidence and looking great. You realize in this world of fashion, that there are magazine editors, bloggers – everyone has a fashion opinion. I think one way Neiman Marcus really inspires women is that we are very definitive and have a definite point of view. That's why I call out trends every season. It becomes a roadmap to a woman. I truly, in my soul, believe that women should look beautiful, pretty and glamorous as they want to be. A lot of times retailers will look for the peculiar and bizarre, and even try to talk over the customers head. Women just want to look great. I really try to instill how to look the best you can and be very authentic about it. Tell me about your personal blog and online presence? What’s been most eye-opening for me, the role of the fashion director has changed dramatically in the last 10 to 15 years. People used to go overseas and determine hemlines and heel heights. We still do a little of that, but I’m a brand ambassador and I’m a writer. I write all of my own letters and material in the book. I write all my own blogs. None of that is done with a copy writer, it is all from my own mind. Even when they send out any sort of press, all of the quotes are from me. I don’t let people speak in my voice, because it has to be authentic. I have my own product line right now. The company’s kind of experimenting and branding me. Metier came to me for spring and asked me to collaborate on a lip and nail color, I actually said no at first. I was a little concerned about putting my name on a product and if it didn’t sell, I was worried, that my ego might take a real hit. But, it sold out. So we came back and we did the Bordeaux collection for fall, which is doing really well. I also just finished my resort collection and did a holiday nail-set for stocking stuffers. I’m also finalizing spring right now. I actually work with the team to develop color, I name all of the products myself. I’m also doing a fragrance. It’s going to be another year. It’s going to be very limited edition, I’m using really rare essences and oils. There is this amazing vault in New Jersey that is full of these rare oils and essences. It’s safe to say in the recent years NM has aimed more to a younger consumer. Would you agree? Absolutely. What’s important to Neiman Marcus is that we love our loyal customers that have been with us for years. We would never do anything to make this brand unappealing to them. But, we certainly have to reach out to a new audience, who has not shopped with Neiman Marcus before. It’s why we have a Facebook page. I have been doing my part, I was on Rachel Zoe and Joe Zee’s show, you’re also going to see me on a new version of Project Runway called "Project Runway All Stars." They have brought back fan-favorites from the past. I’m a bookend, so I’m a guest judge for the first and last episode, selecting the winner. I can’t tell you who the winner is, but people are going to be very excited. They love this person. What other projects are you working on? There are some really interesting projects that come through Neiman Marcus. More product categories. Certainly, some interesting ideas with television. I’m often shopped around to do reality T.V. It has to be intelligent and elegant, and needs to appropriate for the brand. I think that reality T.V. is a moment, and it’s a big and long moment that we're living in right now, but those sort of things live on forever, and I want to make sure that I place a little bit of elegance that carries through my career. What are your thoughts on Neiman Marcus on social media? What’s interesting is, I don’t even realize I have the enormous fan base that I have. I still see myself as a kid from Seattle living in some dream. When I’m stopped in airports or New York City and people stop me on the sidewalk, and remember, I am no one, but people know who you are through social media. They see you on these television shows, and they follow what’s going on blogs. It really makes people more connected to you and your brand. It’s so important in our industry, that we connect with our customers face-to-face, It’s actually a conversation Anna Wintour and I had in Paris; it’s important that we are all represented on Facebook and all social media, but it’s also important that I go around to all of the stores and meet those customers in person. There is nothing like a one-on-one with a personality.]]> 20329 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/20/wire-save-date-art-detour-24/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:41:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20339 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

Oskar Blues Brewery Partners with Windsor for Live Music, Tap Takeover

Who:       Day drinkers, blues brothers, sun worshippers, pub grub enthusiasts and Central Phoenix neighbors. What:      Run, walk, drive or bike down to your neighborhood hangout, Windsor, this Saturday for an Afternoon of Blues! [caption id="attachment_20382" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo by Matt Winquist."][/caption] Situated in the heart of its namesake historic Phoenix neighborhood, Windsor will be celebrating the blues with live music from local musician Brian DeMarco (often overheard on casual weekend mornings across the street at sister restaurant, Postino Central), FREE tastes and $5 pitchers of Oskar Blues beer and familiar bar food with an upscale twist, such as MJ Pretzel Bread and Cheese Fondue, Charcuterie boards and Tenderbelly Chicago-Style Hot Dogs. Oskar Blues Brewery, known for their hoppy, premium canned brews, will be taking over the taps with four of their classic brews: Dale’s Pale Ale, Mama’s Little Yella Pils, G’Night Imperial Red and Ten Fidy Imperial Stout.  Fans of Old Chub and Gubna, don’t worry, there will be cans available as well. Tucked into its namesake historic Phoenix neighborhood, Windsor is a hip, local hangout with one of the best patios in town.  The second offering from the minds that created the original wine bar Postino, owners Craig DeMarco and Lauren Bailey kept it simple: high-quality wine and beer on tap, a robust selection of prohibition cocktails and a kitchen that cranks out casual and familiar bar food with an upscale twist.  For an added scoop of “cool,” save room for homemade ice cream and nostalgic candy at Windsor’s next door ice cream parlor, Churn. Thinking about riding your bike?  Take note of the newly installed bike lanes up and down Central Ave. between Camelback and Bethany Home Road.  Craig DeMarco proposed the idea to city officials last year to help slow things down a bit for the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.

Perhaps you’ve visited his adorable cafe, Scratch (yes, in Scottsdale) but it is as a renowned photographer/creative director that he will be contributing to DPJ. A Paris native, Liao has shot covers of international issues of Vogue and conducted campaigns with Louis Vuitton and Issey Miyake, to name a few. As Creative Editor, Duc will have an overall voice with the creative decisions made at DPJ. "It is important for me to work with a local publication to be a part of the community and to share my experience with people. Phoenix is magical. The city adopted us (Duc and his wife, Noelle), and we love the lifestyle here. Downtown Phoenix Journal is for the people, for the next generation. We are creatively informing, connecting, and sharing this community." “Having someone like Duc on staff is monumental," said DPJ Fashion Editor Corbin Chamberlin. "His work with Vogue and LVMH is a testament to his talents. I’m thrilled to be working with him.” Publisher Catrina Kahler agreed, "DPJ celebrates our Downtown style – that includes fashion, the places we frequent, the events we enjoy and, most importantly, the people who make the community come alive. Duc understands this holistic approach and will be a tremendous asset to this storytelling."]]> 20389 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/13/blogger-goodbye/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:45:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20413 Monica Arevalo signs off as she moves on from Phoenix.

DPJ’s writers and staff have been nothing but encouraging and friendly to me. I started as an intern and ended up with a weekly column that I enjoyed writing and hope you enjoyed reading. Thank you to all the readers. To those who love music and have a quick wit with words, I recommend trying your hand at contributing to DPJ. Contact DPJ at editor@dphxj.com. To all Downtowners, music lovers and Phoenicians: seriously, go out and support your local music scene. Those bands are the future and you’ll be kicking yourself for not seeing the next best thing for under 15 bucks, and for not listening to the young girl who encouraged you to do so every week.

We are thrilled to introduce our interns, Cortney Kaminsk and Thuy An Bui, both students at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. During their internships, Cortney and Thuy An will be running around town assisting photo shoots, pulling samples and blogging for DPJ, all while documenting their experiences via Twitter on the fashion department’s account, @Seamless_AZ. Name: Cortney Kaminski Age: 20 Hometown: Glendale, Arizona College: Arizona State University Major: Journalism (Print) Why are you excited to work in the fashion department of the Downtown Phoenix Journal? One reason, I am working directly under Corbin who is quite a name in the industry. Two, with this internship I am able to gain hands-on experience, which is extremely valuable in this industry. Three, since the Journal is a fairly young publication, it is exciting to be able to get on board early and really be involved in every aspect of it. How did you break into the internship? It is all quite a blur as everything really happened quickly. I mean on Tuesday morning I was sitting on a bench interviewing with Corbin, and then Thursday I was laying out accessories at the cover photo shoot. What was your first day on the job like? My first day was quite nerve-racking but thrilling at the same time. It was a great day to start on, being that there was a shoot. It was only my second time at one and it was definitely exciting to be able to actually work with the stylist and assist throughout the shoot, I just wish I didn't have to leave early for class. What are some of your responsibilities at DPJ? Working at DPJ is a different experience, in the way where I don't feel I have a ton of certain responsibilities. It is more of an "assist here" or "write this" type of internship. Of course, there will be the usual fact-checking, interviews and writing, but I also am able to be at the photo shoots and really be hands-on. I also am able to help with the DPJ fashion section's social media, which is always a fun yet a little daunting task. When you just start out in a new work environment the first few weeks are always more dipping your toes into the water until you get a feel for how everyone works there. Favorite designers? Alexander McQueen. I have always sworn that when I get my first big pay check the first thing I will buy will be an Alexander McQueen piece. A few other notables would have to be Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Piccioli of Valentino, Giles Deacon of Ungaro and Matthew Williamson. I will definitely be adorned with these designer frocks in the future! Name: Thuy An Bui Age: 19 Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona College: Arizona State University Major: Journalism (Print) and Design Studies Why are you excited to work in the fashion department of the Downtown Phoenix Journal? I'm unbelievably excited to be involved in a flourishing community like Downtown Phoenix where fashion still thrives among us. I'm looking forward to gaining a firsthand experience by observing the inner workings of the fashion department at DPJ. How did you break into the internship? I heard about it from the VP of the Fashion Journalist Club at ASU and decided to simply apply. What was your first day on the job like? Fun! Nothing like the usual paperwork signing but instead, we jumped right into helping with a photo shoot. I mainly helped the stylist by organizing the beautiful clothes and accessories and dressing the models. It was inspiring to see how everything played out and what process everyone has to go through. What are some of your responsibilities at DPJ? My job ranges from a spectrum of different tasks including assisting with the fashion photo shoots, updating and maintaining the twitter account @Seamless_AZ and and assisting Corbin, the Fashion Editor of DPJ.]]> 20450 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/15/street-style-fitz-tantrums-concert/ Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:26:11 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20464 pre-race concert at CityScape in Downtown Phoenix featuring Fitz and the Tantrums and saw quite a few looks that drew my attention away from the stage. Amy Hudson looked stunning in a vintage cream dress that had beads lining the hem. She added a sheer blouse and paired the ensemble with Ralph Lauren heels. Ana Garcia stood out with a brightly colored dress overlaid with a banana yellow coat. A simple knitted beanie and Tory Burch bag were all that was needed to finish a youthful yet chic look. Matthew Hainlen wore perhaps the most notable outfit from the night. The young lad stood out with a comfortable yet hip look completed with some thick-framed glasses and warm brown shoes. Lainey Schmidt achieved a laid-back cool vibe with her dark-wash denim and black lace top. Those paired with her cross body bag and boots made this look a definite hit. Overall, the concert was beyond amazing, but the style I saw among the crowd was also very noteworthy!  ]]> 20464 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/20/wire-start-food-truck-panel-discussion/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:36:26 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20552 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

A diverse group of nearly 400 people filled the auditorium to hear from the author of the book and six other distinguished panelists who discussed issues ranging from water use, transportation, renewable energy, policy, urban agriculture, and how social inequality affects sustainability. In addition to Ross, the panel included Steve Betts from the Urban Land Institute; George Brooks of NxT Horizon Group and sustainability consultant; Terry Goddard, who served as mayor of Phoenix from 1983-1990 and is the former Arizona Attorney General; Taz Loomans, an architect and sustainability writer; Eva Olivas from Phoenix Revitalization Corp; and Silvia Urrutia of the Raza Development Fund. Charles Redman, the founding director of the ASU School of Sustainability, moderated the discussion. Susan Copeland, the steering committee chair of Downtown Voices Coalition, welcomed the crowd and introduced the panelists and the moderator. The executive director of the museum, Princess Crump, welcomed the crowd to the museum and gave a brief history of the building, which was built in the 1926 as the first segregated high school in Phoenix and remained so until 1954. In the 1980s, the building was saved from demolition and over the past ten years has been converted to a museum and cultural center, a prime example of sustainable adaptive reuse. In his opening remarks, Ross said he had originally come to Phoenix to see what role artists were playing in downtown revitalization efforts. He was impressed with their work, but realized that, even if they were successful, downtown would only be a sole, small island of sustainability. He expanded the scope of his research to the entire metro area and conducted over 200 interviews with people from government, non-profits, the private sector and artists. His research led him to the conclusion that Phoenix is the least sustainable city in the world. “I know the book title ruffled a few feathers and deflated some people’s sense of civic pride, but the book is based on ideas and opinions of people who live here.” He explained that he choose to write about Phoenix because it is “environmentally challenged in many ways.” However, if Phoenix is able to find solutions to the problems it currently faces then any city can. “What happens in Phoenix is more important than what happens in Portland.” HOLISTIC APPROACH One main theme from the discussion was the need for a holistic, grass roots approach to sustainability, which includes personal initiative and responsibility. Brooks pointed out that the museum carries the name of George Washington Carver, the man who is considered to be the “father of modern agriculture.” His research in agricultural chemistry developed more efficient methods of farming and helped the economy of the South recover by growing peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes and pecans. “He looked at an issue and applied from the bottom up the process we now call sustainability. He didn’t wait for the legislature,” Brooks said. The lively discussion moved quickly with each panelist given a maximum of two minutes to answer a question. The chapters of Ross’s book were used as an outline for questions beginning with one of the most pressing concerns for Phoenix: water. What can Phoenix do to address long-term water use? Are xeriscape yards and landscapes the solution? Loomans disagreed that xeriscape is the silver bullet, stating that while some things like turf and trees may use more water, they provide shade and mitigate the urban heat island. “There has to be a balance,” she said. The floor was opened and members of the audience asked questions about recycling, place making, shade, adaptive reuse, and gardening. By a show of hands, most people in attendance had a garden but by another show of hands, few people had actually walked, biked, or taken the light rail to the event. In Phoenix, the car still dominates. The most riveting moment came when the president of Concerned Residents of South Phoenix, Michael Pops, gave a moving testimony of the social inequality and health problems faced by residents of South Phoenix. Standing off to the side of the crowd, wearing a black cowboy hat and leaning on a cane he said in a booming voice, “We are being poisoned in South Phoenix,” referring to the environmental violations of Fischer Sand and Gravel and Southwest Asphalt. “We went up against the $700 an hour lawyers, and we won, but my community is still dying.” Ross made the point that the city touts rubberized asphalt as sustainable, but the plant that makes the asphalt was poisoning nearby residents. “It’s only sustainable if it’s sustainable for all.” AUDIENCE RESPONSE As the hour came to a close, the panelists were asked what one thing would make Phoenix more sustainable. The panelists each offered achievable goals: price things at their actual cost and stop subsidizing sprawl, focus on infill development, make going car-free or car-lite a viable option, education about sustainability and civic engagement, and the repeal of Prop 207. Those who had been waiting to ask a question were given the opportunity to share their vision as well. The mic was passed down the row where ideas came in rapid-fire succession: more use of pervious concrete, temporary uses of vacant lots, discouraging land banking, being involved with the General Plan update, and educating young people to create a future of sustainability. The audience was invited to a reception held in the Levine Machine building a block away from the museum where light food and drinks were served. “It was an amazing discussion,” Copeland told DPJ after the meeting. “We’re pleased to see so many new people.”]]> 20573 0 0 0 6754 0 0 6833 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/19/warehouse-views-michael-levine/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:25:53 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20580 Levine Machine, and videographer Gregory Harshfield. ]]> 20580 0 0 0 6782 http://MichaelFrancisMcNally(Facebook) 0 0 6863 http://tdhurst.com 6782 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/20/wire-lazarus-suggests-evicting-tenants-state-capital/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:51:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20665 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

Larry Lazarus Lazarus & Associates 420 West Roosevelt Street Phoenix, Arizona 85003 (602) 340-0900

Eviction Notice

To the Arizona State Legislature: Whereas the State of Arizona sold the Capitol Building and the new owner leased the building back to the State of Arizona for the intended use of the Arizona State Legislature; Whereas the tenant (the Arizona State Legislature) has violated the terms, conditions, and good faith intent of that lease; Therefore, the owner hereby requests that the legislature vacate the premises within 30 days of this notice. The violations are as follows: 1.       There have been repeated reports of violence on and off the premises; that is, there have been continued evidence of in-fighting, brawling, accusations, consistent discord and total lack of civility among the residents. This has created a situation of present and immediate danger to the citizens of Arizona. 2.       Secondly, it has come to the owners attention that there is an inability of the tenants to create a sustainable economic model for the state which, in turn, affects the tenants own stability leaving the owner with the belief that the tenants will not be a good financial risk for the future. The owner believes that there is an excellent possibility that the owner and citizens of Arizona could find more suitable tenants for the premises. For these and other reasons, the owner is sending this notice. If, however, the tenants are able to cure these breaches within this legislative session, the tenants may continue to occupy the premises. Good luck. It is the owner’s sincere hope that the tenants will work together on legislative issues and, specifically, work diligently to fix the existing economic and financial model that has poorly served the citizens of the State of Arizona.

[caption id="attachment_20775" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="Kate Moss by SplashNews"][/caption] Collaborations among celebrities and fashion houses have increased tremendously over the past couple of years. A successful example of this popular trend includes the one between the famous film director and producer Sofia Coppola and French fashion house Louis Vuitton. Coppola designed a collection of classic, "equestrian-esque" handbags and clutches that officially launched in 2008. Known for her clean and sophisticated style, Coppola’s penchant for simplicity is distinct throughout the line, which features fine suede, calf leather and lambskin mixed with a brown-black-grey palette. Unlike the traditional Louis Vuitton patterned monogram, she minimized the print and enhanced each piece with a touch of elegant gold detailing. The collaboration has had quite a positive response and is a huge hit with celebrities, including Alexa Chung, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Mila Kunis, Rooney Mara and more. Coppola’s potential as a featured designer continues to impress. She has paired up with the fashion house once again to help create the entire Resort 2012 line. With such an effortless-chic style and lavish taste, it’s not surprising that her designs remain successful.[gallery link="file" order="DESC" orderby="title"]]]> 20702 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/24/wire-civic-space-park-kicks-afternoon-concert-series/ Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:37:16 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20710 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

That’s what premiered last night, “Dreyfus in Rehearsal,” by Arizona Jewish Theatre at Phoenix College’s John Paul Theater. Maybe because Janet Arnold, who founded the company 24 years ago, believes it has something to say to Phoenix audiences circa 2012 – she’s literally betting her company’s life on it. So what’s the big deal?  "Deal, shmeal" you might say. Dreyfus was a fully assimilated Jewish guy born in a part of France that was taken over by Germany in the 1870’s. So his family moved to Paris, he joined the French Army and rose to the rank of Captain by 1894 – when he was set up on treason charges of spying for Germany, stripped of his rank and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island. His trial set off a firestorm of anti-Semitism in France, and became a cause célèbre of the day. Ten years later he was exonerated, released from prison, and allowed his former rank back. He then served with distinction in WW I and retired as a patriotic French Colonel. Anything sounding familiar yet? The play is set in a Jewish Ghetto in Poland eight years before Hitler invaded, where a bunch of amateur actors are trying to understand why they need to deal with this strange episode in French history.  They feel that any nice Jewish boy would never be delusional enough to think he’d be accepted by Polish society, never think of joining the army, never cry out that he loves Poland and loves the Polish Army as he was led off to prison. He would never make waves, just try and remain invisible in his ghetto, hoping to escape any notice by the Poles. Why does Janet think this story is important enough to risk her company’s future to produce here in Arizona at this moment in history? Their rehearsal is broken up by a gang of anti-Semitic thugs. Most of the cast escapes to safe places like Berlin and Warsaw. The others go back to doing Yiddish shtick, asking one question of the audience before fading into the dark. The cast does a somewhat creditable job of it.  The theater is cozy, the ushers caring and friendly, the Fairytale Brownies are good at intermission. Everything is two dollars. Easy to remember. Go.  Think about why this theater company is doing this.  It will be worth it.]]> 20881 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/30/central-kate-walsh-billionaire-boyfriend/ Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:30:22 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20903 From his Downtown desk, DPJ Fashion Editor Corbin Chamberlin and his team look beyond the central city and share their views on the people and happenings affecting our Valley’s material world. Visions of Italy in the 1950’s, convertible rides on the Amalfi coast and a sensation of “old world glamour.” That is what ran through the mind of "Grey’s Anatomy" and "Private Practice" star Kate Walsh when she first smelled the black jasmine and amber scent a year ago, while producing her first fragrance, Boyfriend. A year later, and with a financially successful perfume under her belt, Kate decided to launch Billionaire Boyfriend. Before I opened the bottle I was judging the fragrance by its title and, frankly, I had my doubts. Anything titled "billionaire" outside of a Forbes article summons thoughts of tackiness and, let’s be honest, the cosmetic industry is littered with failed fragrances by celebrities. Alas, I was taken back by how great the scent actually was; notes of bergamot, tangerine and jasmine made for a sophisticated scent. I’ve interviewed many celebrities about their products and I’m normally given the same pre-meditated PR answers to my questions. This was not the case with Kate. She gave very thoughtful replies. Without the help of licensing or royalty companies, the Tucson-raised actress shared with me how she took charge of this personally financed product. “I wanted to make sure this was really something I wanted out there on the market,” she said. “We are a small brand. It’s my first priority to make sure this thing did well – grow in a small and strategic way. I see it as a household name." When asked about the most exciting part of planning her perfume launch, she replied “I was most excited about the marketing of the fragrance, and doing this great experiment by trying to market pretty much solely via internet, doing web commercials and really trying to lead with the idea of storytelling." Read below my continued conversation with Kate Walsh... What inspired you to create the new fragrance? I had this concept of this very luxe, over-the-top fragrance. It all kind of came together as one cohesive idea, in terms of the ‘Billionaire Boyfriend.' I was intoxicated with this idea of old world luxury, money and fantasy – Italy in the 1950’s and Bond girls. You know, old school luxury. When we were coming up with the original fragrance, the maker brought me this fabulous big floral scent, which was called ‘black jasmine and amber.' I told her to hold that, and we would revisit that scent for the second fragrance. Talk to me about the design of the bottle. We're re-using the same bottle shape, which is a custom bottle, but were decorating it differently. It’s absolutely gorgeous – the design is really exciting. I was in Paris, in the spring, and was inspired by the old Venetian glass at my hotel. I wanted the bottle to have the reflective qualities of that glass. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve encountered with launching two fragrances? Gosh, there are so many. I didn’t have the safety net of a licensing deal or loyalty deal, so it’s all kind of terrifying. I had this idea, and I started a company. There is such a huge risk to whole thing. There are over 1200 fragrances on the market, and sometimes I thought to myself 'Why am I doing this?' But I felt so passionate about the idea, product and story. I have to say the biggest insecurity is the boring details. You know it’s hard working full time on 'Private Practice' and then having to worry about paperwork and details. Clearly, the first fragrance was a success. Do you agree? We launched on HSN last November, 2010, and it’s selling so well at Sephora. We just finished our biggest month to date. A men’s scent on a women’s skin, and refining that, we made it something I want to wear everyday. I wanted this to be wearable and accessible to everyone, not just a niche fragrance. We’ve had great numbers all 2011. This is very exciting to me, because ultimately, if you make something that no one likes, that’s devastating. Perhaps you received some kind of advice from another celebrity-gone-fragrance-maker? I didn’t talk to another celebrity about perfume, but I did talk with Molly Sims – she’s lovely. Molly told me about her experience working on HSN. Having her input was really awesome. She and I chatted about starting our own businesses and the challenges of that. I also got a lot of great feedback from my longtime friend, Kate Somerville. She’s got such a great skin care line. I’ve always been a fan of hers – I love her wisdom. Of course, skin care is so much different than fragrance, but I picked her brain about my own line. Billionaire Boyfriend is available for purchase at HSN.]]> 20903 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/30/wire-call-vendors-11th-annual-m7-street-fair/ Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:59:55 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=20913 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

The site selection process had changed significantly, with the final choice narrowed down to only two cities: Tampa and Phoenix. But the real game changer for the 49th Super Bowl, according to everyone involved, was that Downtown Phoenix had evolved from a sprawling construction zone to a world-class, truly Super Bowl-worthy destination. Among the changes:

• In the past four years, the size of the Phoenix Convention Center has tripled to more than 900,000 square feet.
• Light rail was completed and quickly became the transportation mode of choice, particularly for those attending downtown sporting events.
• More than 1,500 additional hotel rooms have come on line, with the total now well exceeding the requisite 19,000.
• CityScape was completed and has made its mark with top-notch dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
• And ASU now has a significant downtown presence, with thousands of students, including residents.

“The transformation of Downtown Phoenix was a significant part of our pitch." -- Mike Kennedy, Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee

“Best Super Bowl Venue in the Country” “We think we now have the best Super Bowl venue in the country, “ according to Mike Kennedy, who has been chairman of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee for the past seven years. “The transformation of Downtown Phoenix was a significant part of our pitch." “All the team owners that were voting hadn’t seen downtown since 2008 so we did our best to describe it to them,” he said. They were assisted by sophisticated marketing materials and a killer video, thanks to the efforts of the local marketing and advertising agency E.B. Lane. “We really made a point of noting all the development – retail, entertainment, restaurants, housing and transportation – that has been finished since 2008,” said Beau Lane, chief executive officer of E.B. Lane, which represents the Super Bowl Host Committee, the Arizona Cardinals and the Greater Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau. “One of the concerns last time, even though it was very successful, was that the events were spread out all over the Greater Phoenix area,” he said.

“This time we see that heartbeat of all Super Bowl activity taking place Downtown. We have the capacity and the facility infrastructure to support it.” -- Beau Lane, E.B. Lane

“This time we see that heartbeat of all Super Bowl activity taking place Downtown. We have the capacity and the facility infrastructure to support it.” Michael Bidwill Scores as MVP However, according to Kennedy, the final host decision came down to which owner could gather the most National Football League votes. Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill touted the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale to the 32 NFL team owners that were gathered in Houston. He also talked about the hotel, resort and tourism infrastructure. And, according to those in attendance, he was particularly persuasive when speaking about what Downtown Phoenix has to offer.

According to those in attendance, [Michael Bidwill] was particularly persuasive when speaking about what Downtown Phoenix has to offer.

Neither Arizona nor Tampa received the requisite 24 of 32 votes the first time around. With the second vote, only a majority was needed. “It all came down to which owner could gather 17 votes – and that was Michael Bidwill,” Kennedy said. A Stamp of Approval Being a Super Bowl host site means a lot of things, not the least of these being an estimated $500 million economic impact to the state. There is also the opportunity to turbo charge the state’s tourism and visibility, bringing thousands of visitors from around the globe. But for Downtown Phoenix, Super Bowl 2015 will play a unique role, a glamorous debut on the world’s stage. “When a downtown is at a Super Bowl level, it says something to meeting planners, as well as everyone else,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “We have a world class facility with our convention center and the capacity for all the media outlets to make Downtown their home. “Downtown Phoenix is already a great destination,” he added. “This is an extra stamp of approval.” Agreed Jeff Moloznik, CityScape’s General Manager, “This is affirmation that Downtown has finally arrived, when you can tell a major international event that they will be hosted in Downtown Phoenix and that it is the epicenter of the Super Bowl. Building on Infrastructure Moloznik sees CityScape as being the “hub of the wheel” for all NFL festivities. In addition to all the activities that will be slated to take place at CityScape, it will be a central meeting place and clearinghouse for all Super Bowl-related information.

“When a downtown is at a Super Bowl level, it says something to meeting planners, as well as everyone else” -- City of Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton

He noted he will be part of a group  flying out to Indianapolis to see how it creates an NFL fan zone and experience. He pointed out that “a lot of infrastructure will be coming on line” in the next few years at CityScape, from temporary and permanent stage structures to large format, 40’ x 20’ screens, scheduled to be installed this year. Then there is the matter of the estimated $18-$20 million that must be raised over the next few years, which covers the cost of taking care of the clubs, hosting the parties, securing facilities and other expenses. The funds that were raised for Super Bowl 2008 were solicited before the recession hit. Mayor Stanton, who emphasized that Phoenix will be working in close partnership with its neighboring cities for all aspects of the Super Bowl, noted that Phoenix will have significant direct and indirect expenses, including the costs of security and police officers.

“This is affirmation that Downtown has finally arrived..." -- Jeff Moloznik, RED Development

“I’m sure we will be asked to pick up the phone and make a pitch to some of our large corporate donors,” Stanton said. “We also expect the NFL to be a partner during these difficult economic times.” Lane said sponsorship packages are already being developed and there is usually a number of events that take place the year before the Super Bowl as well. “Our strategy is to provide significant value so they receive a return for their investment,” he said. And while Kennedy referred to raising the needed funds as a “daunting task,” it is one which he also believes will reap major returns. "Short of the Olympics, there is no other sporting event that has the visibility and impact of the Super Bowl,” he said. Homepage: design by E.B. Lane for Super Bowl bid presentation.

Sure thing Wilco, reel off 6 studio albums and then come out with Wilco (The Album). In writing this column, I think I understand why this happens.  Sometimes you have to get a few things out and then explain yourself. "Your Downtown Beer" seems like an unambiguous and narrowly focused idea. It turns out that it isn't. Where? The City of Phoenix defines downtown as the area bounded by 7th Street and 7th Avenue from east to west and McDowell to Buckeye Road from north to south. There are plenty that would lop off anything south of Lincoln and north of the I-10. Just this afternoon I spoke to someone that wanted to place the downtown tag on the Tuck Shop. My urbanista friends would eye roll and sigh, "Coronado." For the time being, let's think of Downtown Phoenix as a coaster that is casually flipped onto the bar. The Downtown coaster is where we will set our pint glasses while we are having this conversation about beer. We won't spend a great deal of time arguing about the shape and size of the coaster. I must warn you, there may be times when "downtown" will seem to be as large as the bar mats at George & Dragon. The point is that the pint will usually come to rest on that well worn reference point on the bar. On rare occasion, when I need to make a point, I'll hold my glass as we speak. That is when we will be talking about beer without the context of Phoenix. "Your Downtown Beer" aims to expand your view of beer's sense of place. We'll not only discuss where it is, but where beer could be and should be. Will there be posts on restaurants and bars? Yes of course.  But we won't be restricted to "beer bars" or only the places that feature craft beer. There are dozens of reviews of the 60+ tap Copper Blues online and beer rating sites have hundreds of crowd sourced entries for each of the beers that Copper Blues serves. If I were to write about Copper Blues, I'd much rather write about their in-house contract beer, Copper Blues Bru and other downtown places like The Roosevelt and The Rose and Crown that also have contract beers named for their establishments. The Beer Part, where you will note that I am now holding my pint and not setting it down. Since I come from a homebrewing background and play a small role in the local beer community, one might conclude that there would be an exclusive craft beer element to this column. Let me say that I simply believe in the right beer at the right time. People often ask me about my favorite beer and unfailingly it comes down to the context. Just as a snifter of brandy (for many) is a better choice when sitting beside the fireplace than a glass of lemonade, so too is a light lager with a plate of shrimp than a coffee stout. In most other cases, I would choose the coffee stout. In the days before globalization, local conditions created the styles of beers that we have today. It is now possible to brew almost any style of beer at almost any brewery in the world. The sense of locality for the most widely available beers has all but disappeared. A locally made beer should return a sense of place and history. The local brewery should have an advantage in providing you a richer experience than a beer trucked in from St. Louis via Fairfield, CA in which your only organic connection with the brewery is a Clydesdale. Does knowing the story about Caesar Cardini add to your enjoyment of a Caesar salad? I say, yes. So it will be too when you know why a Sunbru is called a tribute beer. This is just a roundabout way of saying that "Your Downtown Beer" will talk about beers that best define a place we call Downtown, and how the downtown landscape will shape many of the beer choices we should be making as we, "Explore our core."]]> 20999 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/01/31/wire-building-community-cinema-presents-the-greenest-building/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:30:25 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21000 (From the Wire includes press releases received from reliable sources that help tell the story of the many happenings in Greater Downtown Phoenix.

No Festival Required Independent Cinema presents a “Building Community Cinema” Film Screening of “The Greenest Building” a film by Jane Turville. Over the next 20 years, one third of our nation’s existing building stock (over 82 billion square feet) will be demolished in order to replace seemingly inefficient buildings with energy efficient “green” buildings. Is demolition on this scale really the best use of natural, social and economic resources? Or, like urban renewal projects of the 1960’s, is it part of a well-intentioned planning strategy with devastating environmental and cultural consequences? “The Greenest Building” provides a compelling argument for conservation, rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of our existing building stock as the single most effective strategy for reducing, reusing and recycling one of our most important consumer products-our buildings.

Read the full story here. Park Central has played a key role in this community's development and the potential change of ownership of this prime Midtown property could set the stage for a renewed interest in the Central Corridor. Upon hearing the news, DPJ asked its colleagues what they thought the potential change might mean. "In residential terms, the Park Central site is one of the strongest potential development plays in Midtown," David Newcombe, realtor for Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, who represented the nearby One Lexington condominiums. "With the right mixed-use elements included it could be game-changer for the Central Corridor." "You can't talk about Park Central development without mentioning METRO Light Rail, and how it has changed people's view of Central Avenue in recent years," said Don Keuth, Phoenix Community Alliance President. "Will there be an opportunity to capitalize on that asset by developing a dense, multi-use project more appropriate for an urban setting? We'll have to see how it shakes out." Park Central was billed as Phoenix's first "modern" shopping mall and has been more recently viewed as the impetus of Phoenix's propensity for sprawling development. As mentioned by Phoenix residents J. Seth Anderson, Suad Mahmuljin, and Jim McPherson in their recently published book, Downtown Phoenix, (Arcadia Publishing, 2012): "In 1957, Phoenix's first shopping mall, Park Central Shopping Center, opened along North Central Avenue between Thomas and Osborn Roads, enticing downtown retail fixtures to move – Goldwater's, then Diamond's, then J.C. Penny's. In the 1960s, all of the major department stores fled downtown and empty storefronts replaced bustling activity. Where the action (and corporate investment) took place was midtown and uptown Phoenix in the first wave of high-rise development, exemplified by the construction of the Phoenix Corporate Tower in 1960 (replacing the Westward Ho as the city's tallest building), the Executive Towers Condominiums in 1963, and 4000 North Central Avenue in 1964."

Science Meets The Arts [caption id="attachment_21106" align="alignright" width="251" caption="Photo by Christine Peters"][/caption] The Arizona Science and Technology (AZ SciTech) Festival and the First Friday Artwalk in Roosevelt Row are teaming up to showcase the interrelationship of art, science and technology. February’s First Friday events will showcase dozens of galleries, artists and scientists as they address key topics such as sustainability, global climate change, world health, energy, aerospace and nanotechnology. Below is a sampling of some of the exciting collaborations taking place. Students from Phoenix Union Bioscience High School, with the guidance of ASU choreographer and educator Elizabeth Johnson, and the support of Roosevelt Row CDC have created a “flash flood mob,” or participatory dance experience, to reflect issues of water contamination that students are exploring as they take a closer look at the Phoenix's M52 Superfund site. Serenaded by the Peculiar Choir singing “Let it Rain,” the students will perform the dance at Roosevelt Row’s A.R.T.S. Market, between 4th and 5th street on Roosevelt, with the help of community participants pulled from the crowd of the First Friday Art Walk. The student/community performance will take place at 9:00 p.m. eye lounge gallery is hosting the Art+Science/Strange Language exhibition. This show will link scientists with local artists to create science-based works of art. The show runs from January 20, 2012 - February 11, 2012. Internationally-recognized artist Miguel Palma (Lisbon, Portugal) has been commissioned by the ASU Art Museum’s Desert Initiative to develop a mobile project that explores our connection to the desert environment. To launch the collaborative project, Palma and SESE will host an exhibition as part of the Arizona SciTech Festival First Friday Art + Science event on Feb. 3. The public will have an opportunity to interact with a full-scale autonomous rover (RAVEN) designed and built by SESE students. A model of Palma’s project will be on display along with information from SESE at the Regular Gallery, 918 N. Sixth St., in Phoenix, from Feb. 3 through Feb. 24.

The Great Bike Chase is a family bike ride that begins in several different Valley locations and ends at Chase Field for a Diamondbacks baseball game.  The Diamondbacks donated $5 from each event ticket purchased as a way to thank the community for supporting the annual event. More than 300 riders participated in last year's ride contributing to the fabrication of 11 bicycle racks. "By increasing available bicycle parking, more riders will feel comfortable with traveling to a venue by bike," said Suzanne Day, Valley Metro Business Services representative. "Bikes are a great way to exercise and contribute to cleaner air at the same time." Bicycles are also considered an easy way to extend a transit trip because they can be loaded onto light rail trains and buses. The Valley's bus system carries more than 1.5 million bikes each year. Jenny Poon, founder of CO+HOOTS, Creative Coworking for Phoenix, noted that they have several entrepreneurs using their facility who live within a five-mile radius. “They prefer biking in to work and that's something we're really proud to support. With an increasing demand for bike parking, we need a rack that can hold more bikes to support a developing bike culture in downtown Phoenix,” said Poon. The first of the unique racks is being installed on Monday, February 6, 2012 at Carly's Bistro, 128 E. Roosevelt, Phoenix. Installations are also planned for Blooming Rock, Cibo, Tucan Properties, Harder Development, Advantage Logistics SW, Buttertoast Boutique, Co+Hoots, Dukes Sports Bar, The Centers for Habilitation, and Stadium Lofts HOA beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 8. “The Valley Metro bike rack program is making it easier for businesses to accommodate an important and growing segment of their customer base who just happen to be bicyclists,” said Taz Loomans, Architect and Writer at Blooming Rock.  “This program is a win,win,win situation for local businesses, bicyclists, and the Arizona Correctional Facility.” Made from heavy-gauge steel, the racks were manufactured by Arizona Correctional Industries and feature a medallion designed by local artist Lilydog Industries. The medallion is accented with the buyer’s choice of five different slogans such as Bikes Welcome or Ride On encircled by a chain ring design. Varying in size to accommodate between four and 12 bikes, the racks were offered to various businesses, neighborhoods and organizations at 50 percent of the cost to build. Valley Metro funds the remaining cost with the money donated by the Diamondbacks. Arizona Diamondbacks and Valley Metro will consider the bike rack partnership again with the upcoming 2012 Great Bike Chase on April 22. ]]> 21189 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/03/fridays-map-artlink-website/ Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:50:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21328 ArtlinkPhoenix.com And if you're heading out tonight, click on the image or link below and you will have the four-page PDF map file downloaded directly to your computer.

When last we saw them, the D-backs were coming off an impressive National League West title and were only a few plays away from extending their playoff series with the Milwaukee Brewers. They definitely demonstrated that they belonged in the playoffs and would have matched up well against the eventual World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals. Considering last year’s success and the moves made so far this off-season, the Diamondbacks will be considered one of the favorites to represent the National League in the World Series this year. If you are a fair weather fan and only inclined to jump on the bandwagon when things are going good, now if the time to climb aboard. The D-backs are built to win now, but also built to stay relevant for years to come. What more can you ask for? This may be the most realistic opportunity for the franchise to compete for a World Series Championship since the days of Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson. Retention and Addition With the addition of Trevor Cahill and the re-signing of Joe Saunders, the D-backs have arguably their most complete rotation heading into a season. And that doesn’t even factor in the prospects that are capable of making an immediate impact if called on to play in the majors. It was nice to see the D-backs retain newcomers Aaron Hill and John McDonald after the season. Both players contributed down the stretch, Hill will be counted on to fill the void at second and McDonald can be a key to the teams success this year if Stephen Drew struggles after off-season surgery. The health of Stephen Drew is one of the few question marks heading into the season. Although the move likely sends Gerardo Parra into a platoon situation, the signing of Jason Kubel could prove to be a valuable acquisition. He has proven power and could really blossom playing everyday at hitter-friendly Chase Field. Having that consistent power from the left side of the plate should be a great fit, sandwiched between Justin Upton and Paul Goldschmidt in the middle of the lineup. Parra’s defense will be missed, but hopefully some increased offensive production can offset any defensive shortcomings. FanFest The success of the 2011 season should translate into increased anticipation to begin the 2012 campaign. For those that can’t wait until Spring Training gets underway or want to get up close and personal, the Diamondbacks 8th Annual FanFest is the perfect solution. FanFest is a free event held at Chase Field and gives fans access to players, coaches and the broadcast team. It’s a great way to interact with your favorite players and get an early glimpse at rising starts. FanFest will be held this Saturday, February 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Spring is in the air Spring Training will take a different meaning this year. In recent years, Spring Training may have been looked at as a barometer for how well the team would compete in the coming year. There were obvious position battles and management hoped the pitching rotation would come together. This year, the rotation and opening day roster are more concrete. There’s always welcomed competition and you never know who will step up and impress, while others inevitably fall off the map. But for the most part, the plan will be to keep everyone healthy, get some reps and prepare to pursue back-to-back division championships.]]> 21367 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/08/fresh-look-phoenix-center-arts/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:55:28 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21374 Look closely under the dust and construction of the Phoenix Center for the Arts and you might catch a glimpse of Joseph Benesh, the energizer bunny behind the Center's growth as an arts and culture hub in Downtown Phoenix.  As the new operations manager, he’s a man on a mission to raise awareness city-wide of this amazing Downtown arts resource. Classes, Classes, Classes! Located at 3^rd Street and Moreland, (on the eastern end of Hance Park, just off of the I-10) the Phoenix Center for the Arts is run by the Phoenix Arts Association, an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, in partnership with the City of Phoenix. Benesh was hired in August of 2011, just after the Phoenix Arts Association took over operation of the programs from the city. Since 1976, the Phoenix Center for the Arts has been a cultural center in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, providing the citizens of Phoenix with "year-round opportunities to participate in the visual and performing arts through creative and affordable quality programming." That means classes, lots and lots of classes! “We have two students who’ve been taking classes at the Center for over 30 years, and recently one man who’d taken his first class 30 years ago has returned to take the same class, in the same classroom,” said Benesh. Since Benesh was hired, class registrations have grown by 37%.  Adults can participate in everything from painting and drawing to metals and jewelry, from ceramics, glass, and music, to printmaking and photography. Youth classes (for kids age 6 and up) cover music, dance, art, and theatre. Connecting with Hance Park The 33,000 sq. ft. facility includes a gallery; eight visual art studios; four rehearsal/class rooms; 16 office spaces; a large music/performance studio and a 216-seat theater. The current renovation will create a brand new entryway for the Center on the north side of the building, making it the only building that opens directly onto Margaret T. Hance Park. The three-story entry, scheduled to be completed by May, will face the parking lot and provide a highly visible and accessible “way in” for people. Benesh is also a member of the Hance Park Conservancy Board and is actively involved in the redevelopment and rejuvenation of Hance Park. Incubating the Arts Benesh has been reaching out to small arts organizations to invite them to make the Center their home. He envisions making the Center an arts incubator, and providing the legitimacy and stability of a home for small arts organizations finding their legs. “We can provide inexpensive office space, quality rehearsal and performance space, and the synergy of a network of other arts organizations to interact with, “ said Benesh. The Center is now home to the Phoenix Children’s Chorus, Radio Phoenix, the Phoenix Fringe Festival, Rising Youth Theatre and soon, Artlink Phoenix. What's Next? Benesh is excited about the projects that he and his board are working on for the future, including purchasing a portable amphitheater for the eastern end of the park to be shared with local arts and culture organizations, using the $5.5M in bond funds to renovate the Center theater into a 600 to 700-seat house, and the inaugural Phoenix Festival of the Arts planned for next November.  He envisions a weekend-long event, showcasing artists and arts organizations from throughout the Valley. Visit the Center website for class schedules, or drop by on a First Friday, or during Art Detour in March to check out their gallery openings and performances.

About 24 years ago, a group of residents decided to showcase their unique homes to the public. They created the Willo Home Tour, which has become an annual event featuring about a dozen historic homes. [caption id="attachment_21431" align="aligncenter" width="427" caption="140 West Almeria. Photo courtesy of Willo Neighborhood Association."][/caption] It attracts around 3,000 people each year and has had visitors from places outside of the Valley such as Tucson and California, says Andrea Katsenes, Volunteer Publicity Committee Chair and seven-year Willo resident. The funds raised by the tour help support some of the neighborhood’s programs and events, and also contribute to its maintenance efforts. By using the tour’s proceeds to install speed bumps and tend to parks, the Willo district helps save money for the city of Phoenix. The self-guided tour, which is run by residents on a volunteer basis, is also about bringing the neighborhood together and sharing it with the community, Katsenes says. “We feel like we own a kind of treasure in Phoenix, a little bit of history,” she says. This year’s tour will include homes that have not been showcased the previous 23 years. To keep the line-up fresh, residents may only display their home once every few years unless they have made significant changes to it. The only building that is featured every year is the district’s historic fire station, and it is also the only non-residential building included on the tour. Katsenes says the longstanding traditions and signature projects such as the home tour are part of what make Willo unique. “It’s just a real neighborhood feel that you don’t get in a lot of neighborhoods anymore,” she says. “We’re a very close group.” The tour also includes a street fair each year with live music and local vendors selling food, jewelry, antiques, arts and crafts, and other items.

In celebration, we're taking a look back at that first day that started this phenomenal community asset. It was the second Saturday in February. For years, determined souls had worked toward opening a Phoenix Public Market, and what happened on that glorious grand opening morning in 2005? The fickle February winter did its thing and poured buckets down on this community venture. It didn't matter. Cindy Gentry, executive director of the nonprofit Community Food Connections (CFC), and a team comprised of stalwart market believers, farmers and shoppers withstood the winter rain and declared it a successful day – one. Many days and seven years later, this little-market-that-could has sprouted an indoor Urban Grocery and Wine Bar, incubated several small businesses, nourished a community with fresh local food, and so much more – with more to come. All of this has taken place on empty parking lots that could have stayed empty were it not for the vision of Gentry, and others pictured below including her CFC cohort Emma Sorois, then-Mayor Phil Gordon, Councilman Michael Johnson, Downtown Phoenix Partnership Community Development Corporation director Dan Klocke (now president of CFC), Phoenix Community Alliance president Don Keuth and vice president JoMarie McDonald, property owner Kurt Schneider, former ASU Joint Urban Design Program director John McIntosh and many, MANY, more. And let's not forget the farmers and vendors, without whom there would be no Market. Do you remember hearing about the Market before it opened? Were you there that day? Share your memories below. And while you're at it, donate to the nonprofit that made it possible.  Photos of Phoenix Public Market's Grand Opening, February 12, 2005. Courtesy of Community Food Connections.

He was 7 years old. For the next 5 years he lived without knowing if he would ever return to his homeland. It was in this refugee camp in Tanzania that he began to play the Burundi drums, a sacred tradition that dates back to ancient times. “The drum became my everything. My education. Everything. Drums don’t carry an ethnic group. We are united by the drums,” he said. He never returned to Burundi. After 5 years in camp, he was resettled in the United States in Nashville where he lived until 2010 before he moved to Phoenix. Today, he is the Director of Komezakaranga, a group of Inkomezakaranga (drummers) known as the tradition keepers. Like him, the others in the group are refugees now live in Phoenix, where they perform in schools, churches, and festivals. They’ve even performed for Mayor Stanton. Their high energy, enthusiastic performances channel history and ritual to preserve their culture and heritage as well as educate the younger generations and the larger community. “Our theme is for us, for our community, for our heritage.” SOUNDS LIKE ROARING THUNDER On Sunday, with the copper dome of the Arizona Capitol behind them, Komezakaranga performed at the Arizona Best Fest as part of the Arizona Cultural Performance Showcase. Gasaimbo said they didn’t have enough time to perform the way they wanted. In Burundi, the drummers would carry the drums on their heads and walk many miles to draw attention to the performance to come, almost like a pre-show. Komezakaranga wanted to do that at the Best Fest but were unable because of time constraints. The Burundian ingoma (drum) is made from the trunk of a tree called imivugangoma, a name that means “trees that make drums speak.” The trunk is hollowed out, then covered with the skin of a cow, and held in place by wooden pegs. All the drums they perform with in Phoenix were brought over from Burundi. When they preform, the drums are arranged in a half circle with one drummer in the center who leads the songs and the dance. When they begin, the drum sound “is like roaring thunder. You can’t ignore it.” The drum is painted to resemble the Burundi flag. A white saltire (St. Andrew's Cross) with a white circle in the center divides the flag into four areas of green and red. The green represents hope, the white symbolizes peace, and the red is the sacrifice of those who died in the struggle for independence. In the center circle three red, six-pointed stars are outlined in green. The stars stand for the three major ethnic groups in Burundi, as well as the national motto of  Unity, Work, Progress. FROM BURUNDI TO PHOENIX After 12 years in Nashville, Gasaimbo was encouraged to move to Phoenix to lead a group of drummers here. Currently there are 12 members. The youngest is 5 years old and plays a specially made small drum. Gasaimbo said he is committed to establishing other drumming groups in all major cities in the United States for refugees and anyone else interested in learning about this tradition. “We want to offer significant activities to the community. More time with the drums means less time on the street,” where refugees struggling to find their place in a new country can be exposed to violence or drug use. None of the drummers have returned to Burundi since they left and Gasaimbo said he wasn’t sure if any of them ever would due to financial and safety reasons. By choice or circumstance they may not ever be able to return. But in Phoenix they at least have a part of their culture that connects them to their roots, while the rest of us have the pleasure of learning about and enjoying what they do. The young men of Komezakaranga are preserving the sacred tradition of drumming the same way their ancestors did, by training and educating the younger generations.

Neighborhood Haunt to Debut Brunch, Bloody Mary Bar on Feb. 19^th Who:       North Central neighbors, beach cruisers, weekend warriors and anyone looking to start their Saturday and Sunday mornings off right What:      Rock bed-head with pride, throw on your shades and flip flops, and head over to Windsor for the brand new brunch menu beginning Sunday, February 19th, continuing every Saturday and Sunday thereafter from 9am – 1pm.  A first for the local hangout that opened the doors in its namesake historic Phoenix neighborhood in April, 2011, Windsor’s Brunch & Bloody Mary Bar provides a casual and familiar wake up call to those looking for the perfect way to start or end the weekend. [caption id="attachment_21925" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Windsor Bloody Mary Bar"][/caption] “We first launched brunch at our sister restaurant Postino Central a few months ago and the neighborhood loved it, so we figured why not do it Windsor-style?” says Upward Projects co-owner Craig DeMarco who, with partners Lauren Bailey and Brent Karlicek also owns Postino Arcadia, Postino Central and Postino East (coming March 2012). How do you define “Windsor-style”?  Guests will know once they grab a seat inside the vintage-inspired restaurant or on the cozy, climate controlled patio, and delve into a menu of morning favorites including Homemade Donut Holes served warm with vanilla mascarpone & Cotton Country strawberry jam ($6), Southern Style Sausage & Gravy with homemade cheddar biscuits topped with country white gravy, two eggs over easy & Schreiner’s sausage ($9.75), and Windsor Eggs Benedict served on MJ’s English muffins with your choice of smoked ham with hollandaise ($11), crab cakes & spinach with whole grain mustard hollandaise ($15) or house smoked salmon with red onions & mixed greens with hollandaise ($12). Those headed back from an early morning gym session or run down the nearby bridle path might enjoy the lighter fare, such as Quinoa Oatmeal with steel cut oats & black quinoa topped with vanilla mascarpone, brown sugar, dried fruits & nuts ($7), Easy Rider Frittata with roasted zucchini, tomatoes, fennel, red onion, red pepper & spinach topped with Spanish goat cheese & herbs ($9.50), or the simple yet satisfying Just Baked Zucchini Bread ($3).  Be sure to save some room for the homemade ice cream and nostalgic candy offered at Windsor’s own next door ice cream parlor, Churn. No morning would be complete without an outstanding beverage selection, and there is no skimping here, including fresh juices and espresso drinks, Windsor’s signature $5 Pitchas of Beer, and a creative selection of prohibition-style cocktails (all $5).  But the real standout is the Bloody Mary Bar ($5), where you start by selecting one of two types, the Traditional with tomatoes, roasted vegetables, Fresno chiles & fresh horseradish or the Verde with cucumbers, roasted poblano, cilantro & watercress, and then head over to the do-it-yourself cart where you can trick out your cocktail with a selection of spices, salts, pickles and garnishes. Thinking about riding your bike?  Take note of the newly installed bike lanes up and down Central Ave. between Camelback and Bethany Home Road.  Upward Projects proposed the idea to city officials last year to help slow things down a bit for the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.

I've never seen anything quite so beautiful. Writer, Lisa Morrison in The Love of Beer. The byline of one of my favorite columnists, Andrew Sullivan, is "Biased and Balanced." To be in love is to be biased, so let my Valentine to The Love of Beer movie and Film Bar count the ways.  A disclaimer: I hold a board position with The Arizona Society of Homebrewers, the organization that helped bring this Arizona Beer Week movie premier to the Film Bar. In the end I will leave it to you to determine if I have met some measure of balance. The Love of Beer is a documentary that follows the story of two women in the craft brewing industry--acclaimed Oregon brewer Tanya Cornett and Portland publican, Sarah Pederson. I was fortunate enough to be at the film's debut last August at The McMenamins Baghdad Theater during the Portland Beer Bloggers Conference. Dozens of familiar faces appeared on the large screen, some that I've known for years, most others I had just shared pints with at the conference. I choked up knowing that some of my friends and colleagues were having their stories told in the iconic theater pub. The movie allowed me to re-live a conference side trip to the Goschie Hop Farm at high harvest. Our visit is forever portrayed as a beautiful luscious and juicy green sequence interspersed with shots of matronly Hop Boss Gayle Goschie. My olfactory memory provided the aromatrack. I tell you this not as a boast, but to demonstrate where and how deep my bias lies. Can you imagine a conference of any kind concluding with a feature-length film? It was a literal, "Killing Me Softly" moment. The principle characters of the film are women and, while I do not want to detract from their personal struggles or accomplishments, this not Norma Rae. Producer, Alison Grayson was not out to create a feminist film or craft beer call-to-arms. Instead, it is a celebration of women and their journey in the mostly embracing craft beer culture. Our Arizona beer culture is ripe for such an awakening. We have a downtown theater that features beer in an up-and-coming area and the Valley boasts a very active female craft beer group, the Arizona Girls Pint Out. The Film Bar has fast become one of my favorite places downtown by offering a unique combination of film, art, music and a fine selection of beers and wines. The Evans Churchill neighborhood is gaining stature as a beer destination as there are now several establishments that offer a thoughtful beer selection fitting the personality of each business.  Carly's Bistro and The Roosevelt offer different takes on food and beer while The Lost Leaf is as known for its live music as its long specialty bottle list. The Film Bar has carefully crafted a mix of draft and bottled beers that pair with a quirky indy or classic euro film. The summer arrival of new craft beer bar Angels Trumpet is certain to shift the region's East Valley centric beer axis a bit more toward Phoenix. There are many reasons why you're going to want to attend the Wednesday and Friday screenings at The Film Bar, especially the Arizona debut. At the opening Wednesday, there will be a meet and greet prior to the screening and a follow up panel with the filmmaker Grayson, Four Peaks Brewer Melissa Osborne, Arizona Girls Pint Out founder Maureen Basenberg and members of the Arizona Society of Homebrewers. Joe Arvallo of Film Bar has booked Andrew and his Fiesty Felines and Four Peaks will release a new Robust Porter at the event. When beer intersects art, local business and community, I feel as Morrison does. I have never seen anything quite so beautiful.

To sing the young state a Happy Birthday were two acts with Arizona roots, Michelle Branch (from Sedona), and the Gin Blossoms (from Tempe). Michelle Branch sang acoustic versions of her well-known hits “Goodbye To You” and “Everywhere,” as well as her Grammy-winning single with Santana, “The Game of Love.” (Unfortunately, Santana didn’t make a surprise appearance.) The Gin Blossoms put on a good old-fashioned rock and roll show, playing the familiar 90’s tunes “Follow You Down,” “Til I Hear It From You,“ and closed both the show and the night out with “Hey Jealousy.” Before each of their performances, I got a chance to chat with Michelle and with Scott Johnson of the Gin Blossoms about performing at Arizona’s Centennial celebration, and about their favorite hangouts in downtown Phoenix. [caption id="attachment_21717" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Michelle Branch"][/caption] Michelle Branch What does it mean to you to be performing at Arizona’s Centennial celebration? Growing up in my household, my dad has a family that goes back a few generations to early Arizona mining camps, so instead of saying, “Happy Valentines Day,” he would wake us up and say "Happy Arizona Statehood Day!" So we grew up knowing that every year. The thing that amazes me, having had the opportunity to travel around the world, is how young Arizona is -- I mean it's only 100 years old, that's just crazy to fathom next to other states and other countries -- so I'm excited to be a part of its young, young birthday Do you have a favorite place to hang out in Phoenix? My favorite, favorite place that anytime I'm coming through Phoenix I try to go to is Tee Pee, which I know they have a downtown location and on Indian School. They have the best margaritas and cheese crisps -- they don't make cheese crisps in California, where I live now, and they're my favorite. I've been going there since I was a kid, so that's my first stop. [caption id="attachment_21718" align="alignright" width="196" caption="Gin Blossoms' Scott Johnson"][/caption] Scott Johnson What does it mean to you and to the Gin Blossoms to be performing at Arizona’s 100th birthday? It's really an honor; I'm absolutely completely honored and thrilled. I grew up here, I lived in Scottsdale, and I'm so proud to be an Arizonan. Whenever we play anywhere, we always make them announce, "From Tempe, Arizona, the Gin Blossoms!" Where do you love to go when you come downtown? I love Matt’s Big Breakfast, (owners) Matt and Erenia are great…and Pizzeria Bianco of course, and Pane Bianco. I hang out at those places a lot. And then I do yoga downtown at SuTRA Midtown. So those are kind of my hangs. Oh! And something else you should know, the Musical Instrument Museum is doing a Gin Blossom display for the Centennial. It’s got displays on us, Alice Cooper, Linda Ronstadt, and more. So that's coming up in a couple of days!]]> 21716 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/27/off-central-terri-camberlango-model-success/ Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:17:20 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21741 It's not often a young girl starts off as a fashion model and ends up owning a modeling agency. Terri Camberlango signed with the Robert Black Agency as a 14-year-old girl and was later signed by Agency Arizona before becoming the owner. “I had always been interested on the business side of things, so it was a good transition for me to be on this end,” Camberlango said. “I think having the perspective of the talent and now on this side has definitely given me an advantage.” Though she hasn’t modeled since the transition, she has no desire back modeling. “There are times when I miss it,” Camberlango said. “When I am backstage queuing out models; you get such a great feeling of being on stage and being on a runway or at a shoot.” Camberlango claimed that although modeling is a secondary market here in Arizona it is still very strong. “We have really been able to build a brand in this market where were known to have the top talent,” Camberlango said. “We have been able to get some top faces out there.” One successful model that Camberlango referred to was Arizona native Kelly Mittendorf, who walked in Phoenix Fashion Week and was signed to be the face of the Prada Fall/Winter 2011 campaign. “We have seen her work so hard to get to this point, so that is very gratifying on our end,” Camberlango said. The agency is also undergoing multiple changes as they continue to grow. One has been the addition of social media and a blog. “It is nice to be able to have an outlet where we can say ‘Look what so and so is doing’ and ‘Look at this amazing campaign’,” Camberlango said. Agency Arizona is also in the process of moving their offices to a new space near Neimen Marcus inside of Scottsdale Fashion Square. Throughout the changes the agency is always striving to continue to be focused. “We try to keep the calm because there are so many moving parts,” Camberlango said. “There are times I wake up at 4 a.m. . . . I am working until midnight. But at the end of the day, it is so worth it.”]]> 21741 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/14/retrophx-idea-design-competition-phoenix/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:10:42 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21769 [/caption] RetroPHX, a play on the word retrofit, is an ideas and design competition site sponsored by the Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory (PURL), an extension of Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. According to Aaron Kimberlin, Assistant Director of PURL, "RetroPHX focuses on new and innovative concrete ideas that can be made at the parcel, block and regional level.” Anyone from students to professionals and from visitors to residents can submit their design ideas at RetroPHX.com. The site, which is simple to understand and use, features a map of Phoenix and a list of idea categories. To submit an idea, participants complete an online form with information such as proposed location, summary of the idea and various categories to file it under. Ideas can be submitted through May 1. [caption id="attachment_21771" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Aaron Kimberlin, Assistant Director of PURL"][/caption] “We are looking for thought-out ideas that can make Phoenix unique, interconnected and sustainable,” said Kimberlin. Those ideas include creating high speed transit trains on existing freeway systems, better insulating house to save electricity, and transforming garages to mini-businesses. RetroPHX was inspired by New York’s “By the City For the City” design and ideas competition. “By the City For the City” offers cash prizes and features a similar user interface. To ensure that RetroPHX doesn’t just become a graveyard of ideas, PURL will engage practicing professionals and students across the nation to respond to these ideas in the second phase of RetroPHX. Eventually all of the ideas, proposals and designs will be consolidated into a book. PURL’s goal is to “generate innovative solutions that have true impact on the quality of our urban environment.” The organization does this through research, coursework and public programming. Kimberlin hinted that RetroPHX will play a bigger role in April, with the first ever Phoenix Urban Design Week. More details are to follow.]]> 21769 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/15/op-ed-kimber-lanning-amazon-effect/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:11:21 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21830 We are surrounded by small businesses in Downtown Phoenix, and we know much of Downtown's success rests on the shoulders of these business owners. As we survey the current economic climate, it is critical to understand the impact a national retailer can have on the health of our local economy. Kimber Lanning, founder and executive director of Local First Arizona, provides insight on the ramifications of the current sales tax impasse between the State of Arizona and Amazon. Last week at the Arizona State Senate subcommittee hearing Don Isaacson, the lead attorney for Amazon, took the podium to make the case that economies change over time. “We all remember the days of mom and pops,” he said, “and then there were the days of the big box retailers….” I surmise this to be a very honest glimpse into the world vision Amazon holds, but what does it mean for Arizona? For the moment, let’s forget the fact that there are over 40,000 independent businesses operating in Arizona today, with a payroll of around 21 billion per year, and let’s focus on our state’s economy and what would be left of it if Amazon’s vision becomes reality.

“For every book store or hardware store that closes, one more accountant loses a job, one more web developer loses a client, one more graphic designer loses a project."

Let’s say Amazon is successful in eliminating 20% of the independent businesses in Arizona. Most people understand the immediate job loss and can easily process the thought of, say, 5,000 people losing their jobs because businesses closed. “Amazon is hiring,” some people will say, and that’s true. So let’s be fair and say Amazon will create 1,000 more jobs over the next couple of years, leaving a net job loss of 4,000. But now, let’s move on to calculate the secondary jobs that were supported by the 20% of now defunct independent businesses. For every book store or hardware store that closes, one more accountant loses a job, one more web developer loses a client, one more graphic designer loses a project. Soon these supporting businesses will close down, because, well, Amazon isn’t hiring them for their services. Now let’s measure the impact on real estate. How could we put a number or real value on the blight caused by over 8,000 closed up businesses littering our state? With no new start ups looking to rent commercial space, how many building owners would be forced into bankruptcy? What exactly would the world look like if we all decided to buy everything from Amazon? Where would we all work and how would we earn enough money to keep shopping on Amazon?

“With no new start ups looking to rent commercial space, how many building owners would be forced into bankruptcy?”

Given this bleak picture of the world, which may or may not come true, it's unfathomable that Amazon has convinced so many people that they should not have to collect sales taxes as every other business has in the history of this country. Sales taxes, or transaction taxes, are collected to pay for services we all enjoy like police and fire protection, libraries, neighborhood services, parks, transportation, and additionally, a small percent of sales taxes are dedicated to education. Anyone interested in improving education in Arizona should be screaming for consistent sales tax collection. The word TAX has become such a political lightening rod that people are not thinking clearly about which tax we are talking about. This is not a corporate tax that causes companies to have to reach into their profits to pay, nor is this a NEW tax. This is the tax that consumers have always paid on their purchases in order to be able to enjoy the services I outlined above. We could revisit our founding fathers’ logic and decide that we all want to opt out of fire protection or any other services provided by the city, county, or state, but it’s a safe bet that most people are not ready to fight their own house fires with garden hoses.

“Anyone interested in improving education in Arizona should be screaming for consistent sales tax collection."

Recently the Arizona Department of Revenue handed Amazon a bill for $53 million to cover part of the taxes they failed to collect between 2006 and 2010, and there was some public outcry about this being “unfair” to Amazon. Think of this bill as a simple fine for breaking the law. With four distribution centers located here in Arizona totaling over 4 million square feet of space, Amazon is and has been refusing to collect transaction taxes on sales conducted to the people of Arizona. Every other retailer operating in this state collects these taxes, whether they are on-line or bricks-and-mortar businesses. Order from Walmart on-line and you will pay AZ transaction taxes. Order from Land’s End and you will pay the same taxes because their parent company, Sears, has stores here in Arizona, even though Land’s End does not. They are law-abiding companies doing business here and enjoying a comfortable profit. I have heard many Amazon defenders claiming that forcing their company to collect sales tax flies in the face of free markets. In reality, allowing one company to be exempt from a law requiring all transactions to include a tax for municipal services is absolutely anti-free markets. I don’t know a single independent business that wants a government hand-out. In fact, most are happy to compete as long as the playing field is level.

“Amazon is and has been refusing to collect transaction taxes on sales conducted to the people of Arizona. Every other retailer operating in this state collects these taxes, whether they are on-line or bricks-and-mortar businesses.”

Amazon will most definitely take Arizona to court over their $53 million bill, not because they feel they have a case, but just to drag the battle on longer. Meanwhile they continue to ignore the tax, which gives them a 9.3% advantage over all other businesses. They may offer the Arizona Department of Revenue a bargain and agree to collect the taxes starting in 2014, which is what they did in California, but in the duration how many other Arizona businesses will be lost? Arizonan’s are currently the 7^th LEAST taxed people in the union. If we fail to pay sales taxes our services will decay rapidly. Already it is estimated that Amazon has failed to collect upwards of $750 million in sales taxes, so let’s not be surprised when we get our next property tax bill and it’s double what we expected. The taxes have to come from somewhere. It’s in our best interest to stick to the agreement we have and pay our sales taxes and to require businesses operating here to collect the exact same taxes. Senate Bill 1338 is currently moving through our legislature and will close Amazon’s last loophole by specifically requiring businesses with warehouse space OR retail space to collect the same amount of sales tax. This initiative, which supports the very fundamentals that makes capitalism work in this country, is nothing short of the only solution to save jobs in Arizona.  ]]> 21830 0 0 0 7289 0 0 7348 http://eekostudio 0 0 7235 http://localfirstaz.com/ 7231 236 7232 http://tdhurst.com 0 0 7234 http://localfirstaz.com/ 7232 236 7231 http://barrygrahamauthor.com 0 0 7270 0 0 7271 7270 0 7261 http://localfirstaz.com/ 0 236 7313 http://localfirstaz.com/ 0 236 7373 0 0 7374 http://localfirstaz.com/ 0 236 7240 0 0 7276 http://localfirstaz.com/ 0 236 7278 http://localfirstaz.com/ 7276 236 7300 0 0 7301 http://localfirstaz.com/ 0 236 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/15/front-center-atc-presents-alfred-hitchcocks-thirtynine-steps/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:56:10 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=21869 "Alfred Hitchcock's The Thirty-Nine Steps" is a play still performing to sold out audiences in London’s West End - after 6 years. It has turned it into a worldwide concurrent series of productions.  The adaptation that landed at Arizona Theatre Company this week brought actors trained on both sides of the pond. The original novel was written during the lead up to World War I, Hitchcock’s 1935  movie was produced during the lead up to World War II, the West End adaptation of Hitchcock’s movie was created during an intense period of British debate about the Afghani-Iraqi wars, and American adaptations (including a 3-year Broadway stint) began to spread during the lead up to the 2008 Presidential election. Coincidences, all.  A hilarious spoof in true depression-era comedic style. There is excellent physical comedy throughout this madcap story of an itinerant English Gentleman caught up in the chase to find spies in his midst and the damsels who continuously cross his path along the way.  The cast has a lot of fun playing with references to other Hitchcock movies, including most notably, North by Northwest. The male lead, Robert O. Berdahl, comes as close to filling the large footprint of Cary Grant as I’ve seen.  The supporting cast - one female and 2 male actors - split amongst themselves numerous roles as the plot darts around pre-War Britain. There’s even a little Borscht Belt thrown in. The train chase scene done on top of a few boxes is a definite must-see! Enjoy the play, and then watch the Hitchcock classic film.

Over one hundred people showed up to hear Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and William McDonough (international sustainability expert and the author of Cradle to Cradle) discuss urban sustainability efforts both locally and internationally, with a particular emphasis on ways in which the City of Phoenix can create incentives for private property owners to participate in temporary lot activation projects. Stanton noted that as the economy begins to improve, we have "a unique moment in time" to rethink development, to "do it right" and not go back to "the same old same old." As one way of "doing it right," he proposed using empty city lots as demonstration projects to show what can be done. Appropriate temporary use projects could include gardens, arts spaces, pocket parks and more. [caption id="attachment_22125" align="alignleft" width="229" caption="William McDonough, Mayor Stanton and Colin Tetreault. Photo by Dorina Bustamante"][/caption] Mayor Stanton was quick to point out that there is nothing anti-private property about encouraging these projects and that a savvy developer can develop a great deal of good will in the community by allowing appropriate temporary use. He hinted that he will be making an announcement within the next thirty days involving "a big empty lot project." The where and what remains unknown for now. Beyond the issue of temporary activation of vacant lots, Stanton addressed the next evolution of transportation in a regional environment and pointed out that all transportation systems need to be supportive of our aging population, and that development along the light rail and walkability are important quality of life factors as we grow older. He also addressed the role of historic preservation in overall sustainability efforts, mentioning the A.E. England building as a "great demonstration project" of how an historic building can be adapted to new uses, and applauding Michael Levine's work in restoring the historic warehouses just south of Downtown. The Lot - What Should Go Here? is a "Phoenix-based community project to help creatively activate and transform one vacant lot at a time into temporary spaces the community can enjoy until they are later developed." Community partners in this initiative include Roosevelt Row CDC, the ASU Global Institute for Sustainability, Urban Initiatives, Continental Shift, Edge Industries/The Funk Lab, monOrchid , Champion PR + Consulting, and Envirogreen.  ]]> 22122 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/02/23/listen-up-phx-gomez-celebrate-quinceaera-hey-rosetta/ Fri, 24 Feb 2012 05:14:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=22183 [/caption] Last night, Gomez performed at the Crescent Ballroom with opening act Hey Rosetta. This year marks the 15th year Gomez have been together, and they have fittingly dubbed this tour their Quinceañera Party. As a part of the celebrations, the band has been inviting its fans to vote for their top ten favorite songs on their Facebook page before each show to make up the second half of their setlist. Each city has a different top ten as chosen by their fans, and therefore, a different concert. (See Phoenix's choices below!) Those 15 years of experience really showed, both in their stage presence and in their performance. The entire set was flawless and fun, with Ian, Tom, and Ben looking plaid-tastic, collectively bopping to the beat and trading off lead vocals throughout the night. Tom Gray was the most energetic, his antics constantly encouraging the audience to join in on their party. "Feel free to move, clap, do shit. It's traditional at rock shows!" he told the crowd before launching in to "Hamoa Beach." Hey Rosetta did a great job of easing the crowd into a night of great music before Gomez took the stage. Their sound was delicate and punching in all the right places, some songs a more melodic punch between the keyboard and the electric violin, while others were filled with sharp percussion. At one point, their violinist picked up an old-school toy xylophone, and at another, the entire ensemble went into a surprise hip-hop beat breakdown. [caption id="attachment_22212" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Hey Rosetta"][/caption] The variety of sounds in Hey Rosetta's set were a perfect segue into Gomez's set, during which they blended genres as best as they knew how all night long -- from folk and bluegrass, to indie rock, to hip-hop, to psychedelic echo-y 70s rock (like in Blue Moon Rising) to ska. The crowd was just as varied of a mix as the genres Gomez crossed, with 20-something hipsters, 30 something bros (I even saw a few fist pumpers in the front row), to 50 year old couples. At one point in the show, one of the aforementioned older-bros shouted at the end of a song, "That was very good!" To which Tom and Ben jokingly responded in exaggerated British accents, "Yes, that was very acceptable -- we were quite pleased with that!" Ian chimed in with the fun at one point, too, pointing out a fan and saying it was "nice to see a Slayer t-shirt in the front row," right before playing my personal favorite song of theirs, "Options." All in all, between the amazing and interactive setlist, the quips and quirks and joking throughout the night, and the extremely varied crowd, the atmosphere at the Crescent really did feel like an extra-special birthday party last night. Feliz Quinceañera, Gomez!

The 28th Annual Matsuri Festival takes over Heritage & Science Park in Downtown Phoenix on Saturday and Sunday, February 25 & 26, 2012.  This two-day celebration features colorful displays of authentic Japanese art, crafts, and entertainment.  Traditional Japanese food and merchandise will be on sale. For 2012, the festival committee chose the theme Daruma; a hollow, round Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodihdharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism.  These dolls are typically red, depicting a bearded man named Dharma.  These dolls may vary in color and design depending on the region in which the artist resides.  It is a toy, but it is rich in symbolism and looked upon as good luck to the Japanese.  These dolls symbolize perseverance and good fortune.  A modern, motivational Buddhist teacher may use it alongside goal setting and achieving success. ALSO NEW!  Sakura: The Cherry Blossom Tree ~ Upon special request by the Japanese Consulate, The Matsuri 2012 Committee has happily added this element:  The 100th year celebration of the Cherry Blossom (donated to Washington from Japan) to the Festival. Flowering cherry trees have been symbols of Japan’s friendship to the people of America for 100 years. In 1912, over 3,000 cherry trees were gifted from the City of Tokyo to the City of Washington, D.C. as a symbol of lasting friendship from the people of Japan. Since that time, Japanese organizations have made gifts of cherry trees to America to commemorate significant milestones in the relationship between Japan and the United States. In Southern California, there are many places where you can see flowering cherry trees which were planted by Japanese individuals or Japan-related organizations. In 2012 there will be twelve cherry blossom festivals in Southern California. There will be more events in 2012 commemorating the centennial.

Farmer Woody and Valley Leadership Plan First Planting for Garfield Garden Park 

Farmer Woody, a local farmer and chef, with the help of Valley Leadership, is bringing a community garden to Downtown Phoenix. A first planting ceremony is planned for Thursday, March 8 at 8 a.m. The garden, called Garfield Garden Park, sits on two formerly blighted lots (14,000 sqft) in the heart of the Garfield District. Richard Melikian, owner of the Hotel San Carlos, has donated the lots. [caption id="attachment_22240" align="aligncenter" width="599" caption="Garfield Garden Park project rendering."][/caption] “This garden has been a dream of mine for many years,” said Farmer Woody. “Teaching area residents how to grow their own food improves not only the well being of the individual but of the overall community.” Farmer Woody’s mission is to transform the Valley of the Sun into the Valley of Gardens. Valley Leadership is helping Farmer Woody with fundraising and general coordination for the project. The garden will be open to the public by April 2012. The group is making a call to the community for in-kind donations including trees, fencing, gardening supplies and solar lighting.  A Kickstarter account has been activated for monetary donations.  Local companies including Sprinkler World, Superstition Springs Farms, Shamrock Towing and many others have contributed to the project. About Garfield Garden Park: The park will feature a growing garden along with an outdoor amphitheater for community gatherings.  The two will be divided by a food truck drive. The amphitheater has a “kitchen” stage for teaching culinary arts, hosting local potlucks, giving public speeches, acoustical only musical performances and general education. A shipping container on-site will be transformed into a farmers' market stand to buy, sell, and trade produce, as well as a Superstition Farms gardening supply center for the neighborhood.

I like that it is close to my campus and that anywhere that I want to go to I can go by bike. Where do you like to explore? I typically head north to try the unique restaurants. I like going to the Phoenix Public Library and the park over there; a lot of times I will ride on the bike path around there. What is your typical biking ensemble?

Home to favorite haunts such as Barrio Café and America’s Taco Shop, the Coronado Historic District attracts many visitors from around the Valley. But along with its widely popular establishments, the district also retains a thriving residential community. Bordered by hundreds of small businesses, approximately 5,000 homes make up the district. They range in style from Bungalow to Spanish Revival to Ranch, and some date back as early as the 1920s. Many of the homeowners have renovated their residences, some maintaining the original architectural style and others giving the homes an entirely new twist, says Coronado resident Rebecca Brittain. Twenty-five years ago, the Coronado Neighborhood Association began sponsoring an event to showcase these homes – the Coronado Home Tour. “In essence, the fundamental purpose in the home tour is to recognize the work the owners have done to preserve and care for their homes, raise funds for the association, and ... share our history with other people,” says neighborhood historian Donna Reiner. Brittain, who is also the home tour chair, says all of the proceeds from the event stay within the community, funding block watch, cleanup efforts and neighborhood events such as movie showings in the park. Brittain moved to Coronado in 2009, after attending one of the self-guided tours. She describes the district as eclectic and artistic, and enjoys the restaurants and hangouts in the area. She also appreciates the sense of community the neighborhood provides. “People sit on their porches and actually talk to their neighbors,” she says. This year’s event features 11 historic homes not shown on previous tours and also includes various food and merchant vendors, an antique car show, dog training, yoga and music. “We’re excited to be able to work on the 25th anniversary and we just want everyone to come out and have a good time,” Brittain says.

Phoenix, like any of our great cities, intensifies everything you see in the suburbs into much smaller micro markets that have dramatically different pricing and sales from block to block.

When you turn on the news, the stories won't reflect your very local market. They are usually national, taken from what's called “lagging stats,” and often reported quarterly. An average listing can take 60 to 90 days to sell, three months to close, then add another month or two to report the quarter. The news you are hearing is really really old. [caption id="attachment_22494" align="alignright" width="282" caption="Courtesy of The Cromford Report. Click to enlarge."][/caption] Leading stats are rarely reported in anything but a hot market. Active listing prices and pending sales are leading stats, a reasonable, but not guaranteed, measure. Let's look at some on a valley-wide level. Michael Orr of ASU reported in The Cromford Report how pending sale prices are rocketing skyward this month in the valley (see right). A leap from an average $82/sf to just over $88/sf is a scary reflection of the heady days of 2005.  But this is still macro. How is this affecting Downtown Phoenix? Let’s take a quick look at condos. A great example of micro market and perception. Portland Place, One Lexington and Summit at Copper Square are three “new” builds, all walkable, with great amenities, and built to excellent standards.

• Summit: six recent sales avg $110/sf, two pending avg $121/sf, two active avg $137/sf.
• Portland Place: four recent sales avg $174/sf, two pending avg $179/sf, two active avg $219/sf.
• One Lexington: six recent sales avg $231/sf, one pending $189/sf, three active $250/sf. (note the pending sample is just one lower level unit)

As you can see, the trend is clearly upward, per Mike Orr’s stats. But the pricing is simply down to perception. One Lexington hasn’t gone through the foreclosures and chaos of the last few years. Portland Place and Summit have. To sum up, that's exactly why some areas are still lagging and some are leading, they just went through a harder time than the rest. Think how confident the market is in your subdivision. When your micro market recovers, your home will do the same. Don’t listen to the national news. Listen to the micro market you are buying or selling in and talk to a local realtor to learn more.

Look out Pee Wee Herman, bow ties are no longer an instant sign of nerd-dom. The past few years have seen an increase in sales of bow ties to 20-something year old men who have incorporated the tie's classic, old-fashioned sensibilities into their own modern style. The question is, “are bow ties back?” To which the only response can be, “were they ever gone?” [caption id="attachment_22572" align="aligncenter" width="485" caption="Dapper and dash(ing). Aaron Kimberlin, Jonce Walker and Keith Mulvin."][/caption]

Bow ties were popular in the early and mid 20^th century, worn by notables such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, and comic book character Archie, all influential men who stood apart from their contemporaries; but by the 1970s, bow ties had become associated with bookish Poindexters and stuffy intellectuals. Today, the bow tie renaissance is in full swing, a backlash perhaps against men’s clothing being too casual for too long. Young men of a new generation are voting with their dollars for bow ties, choosing to dress with purpose and individual style.

Popular musicians and actors have been photographed donning bow ties with jeans and sneakers, and trendy, youth-oriented stores like Urban Outfitters carry bow ties, as do designers like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. As Dr. Who often reminds us, “bow ties are cool.” They are an accessory, a finishing touch to an outfit, and a bold statement. Men who wear bow ties are passionate about them because a bow tie says more than any other piece of clothing; it implies the man wearing it is daring and confident, a man of independent thought, separate from the conformity of the regular necktie pack. People recognize and remember the man in a stylish bow tie. Based on sales, young men in Washington D.C., New York and Boston have embraced bow ties; sales have also been brisk in college towns. In the next few months, Downtown Phoenix advocate and Assistant Director at Phoenix Urban Research Lab, Aaron Kimberlin is bringing the bow tie movement to Phoenix with Dapper+Dash, a small business that reconstructs bow ties from vintage materials. A Modern Twist The idea for Dapper+Dash came to Kimberlin after coming into possession of his grandfather’s old ties. “I was given a multitude of mid-1960's to 1970's ties that were just too wide for a modern day tie.  My notion was that everything, including fashion, is cyclical, so I wanted to create a product that celebrated a vintage men's accessory by adaptively reusing clothing goods and vintage materials.” With the idea to construct and design a product from local materials with local talent, Dapper + Dash was born. They begin with the essentials by searching for the highest quality materials, often found buried and forgotten in closets. Each piece of material is considered before being repurposed, then cut into one of three bow tie patterns named after three distinct bow tie wearers: the Huckleberry, Churchill, and Dagwood. Each pattern is then stitched by hand in Downtown Phoenix. The packaging is also produced locally: each bow tie will come in a handcrafted cylindrical tube, stamped with the Dapper+Dash logo, and sold at local vintage clothing stores and on the company website. Some large department stores sell bow ties for prices reaching as high as $100. That’s too much says Kimberlin, who is aiming to keep the cost per bow tie below $50. Bow Ties + Bikes... Bow Ties + Beer... Bow Ties + Baking... There is no reason to wear a bow tie unless you plan to tie it yourself, which is not the daunting task it may seem. Thanks to YouTube, a variety of videos can help unravel the mystery. Wearing a pre-tied bow tie is like “letting another man forge your signature” says Alan Flusser, author of Style & The Man. Like learning to tie a shoe, tying a bow tie takes some practice, but once mastered, the skill is not forgotten. What do you do once you’ve acquired the skill of tying a bow tie? Besides just wearing it to work or for a night on the town, Kimberlin is planning to incorporate the bow tie into community events as well. For example, one idea is a night called “bow ties and beer” where bow tie enthusiasts and their dates meet up for drinks and classy conversation. Or how about “bow ties and bikes” where you could show off that new bow tie while biking through historic Downtown Phoenix neighborhoods? Bow ties and baseball? Bow ties and baking? Why not? “The alliteration comes with a great pairing.  Why not look stylish when you are enjoying some of your favorite activities?” Kimberlin said. In addition to creating products that can help a man look debonair, Kimberlin is also looking to partner with local businesses and non-profit organizations to “achieve a basic rule with Dapper+Dash” of having 10% of sales be donated to non-profits. “I am currently still working on partnerships in this collaborative,” he said. Bow ties, like Downtown, are both historic and modern, complicated yet simple, distinctive but misunderstood. Bow ties have never quite been out of fashion, underappreciated perhaps, but never gone. Those who wear them embrace both the history and the intrepid style a bow tie represents, just like devoted Downtowners embrace the history and bold opportunity of modern Phoenix.

Every year Valley residents gather in the 7th Ave/Melrose District for the m7 Street Fair, where they chow down food from local eateries, browse through items from local merchants, listen to live music and admire classic cars dating back to the early 1900s. It all started 11 years ago when a group of Seventh Avenue businesses joined forces to revitalize and beautify the neighborhood, which was suffering from crime and deterioration. The merchants received grant money from the City of Phoenix Neighborhood Fight Back Program, teamed up with the School of Architecture at Arizona State University, and began to revamp the area. To celebrate its rebirth, the Seventh Avenue Merchants Association held a street fair made up of a few tables, a few dozen classic cars and a few hundred people. “The first street fair was like a ribbon-cutting for the things that had been done to the district,” says event coordinator Meghan Olesen. “Now it’s sort of like a birthday.” The fair has grown to include more than 140 vendors, beyond 200 classic cars and 18,000-plus visitors. “The goal is to provide a free event for people in the Phoenix area and really everywhere ... and show them that it’s a good place to be,” Olesen says. This year the LGBT-friendly neighborhood has partnered with ONE Community, an interactive web and events community for gay, lesbian and allied individuals and corporations, which will host a healthy living expo at the festival. The event will also include activities for kids such as a bounce house, an obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, a bungee trampoline, rides and a free craft area.

Downtown Phoenix will be the new location for this year’s 21st Annual Blues Blast, hosted by the Phoenix Blues Society. Until this year, the event, which began in 1992, has been held in Mesa. Downtown Phoenix is growing and the Phoenix Blues Society felt a change was needed.

“The Mesa Amphitheater was a great venue, but Phoenix offers several advantages. It is centrally located and there’s a light rail stop [nearby]. Phoenix is undergoing revitalization that we are excited to be a part of,” says Phoenix Blues Society Volunteer coordinator Dave Saunders.

A total of six bands will be playing at the blues blast event. “Our headliner is Sugar Ray and the Bluetones (pictured below). Sugar Ray Norcia is one of the premier blues players and he's played with some of the best in the business.” Saunders says. Veteran harmonica player, Rhythm Room owner and host of Those Low Down Blues on 91.5 KJZZ, Bob Corritore, will be playing in-between sets with his partner, Dave Riley. Saunders believes this year’s blues blast will be a treat for blues fans. “Blues Blast is just one part of our greater mission, which is to promote blues music. If you never have been to a blues show, come out. I guarantee you will be back for more!” Saunders says.

Vintage Cars The fun started with a line-up of antique cars. Visitors saw everything from Volkswagens to Ford models. Each of the cars were in pristine condition and modeled by their proud owners. These caught the attention from the elders in the crowd all the way down to the young children. So much attention and detail clearly goes into keeping the cars in such great shape!     Shopping  Next up was the shopping! Many boutiques such as Retro Ranch, Blueberry Deluxe and Frilly Frocks laid out their boutiques outside which attracted the wandering eye. Ranch Barbie brought her "boutique on wheels" and displayed her full collection inside and around it. This is such a unique thing to see, as many designers don't typically travel in such a fashionable way.     Street Style A full range of street style at the event was on display. We saw western wear to drag, but these look really caught our eyes.

Leslie Christensen, owner of Frilly Frocks, looked delicate and demure in this Ewa i Walla ensemble. Each piece she was wearing was from the Swedish label, which is only available in select boutiques across the United States, but good news – Frilly Frocks does indeed carry it! Her belt was made in-store. Dustin Hoyman, frequenter of local events in Downtown Phoenix, looked dapper as always. His polished style was perfect for the sunny affair, though I am betting he wished he packed a fan with him. These three gentlemen each stood out in their own way. Phillip Lanphar kept his look laid-back with a fresh white T-shirt that had intriguing graphic designs on it; Abel "Madonna" Santos paired bold yellows with red and blue stripes; and Justin Kimberlin wore a hip hat along with a sleek color-blocked sweater.  ]]> 22684 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/03/06/wire-devoured-culinary-classic-returns/ Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:35:48 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=22722 Some news items don’t need translation.

Artists Without Gallery Exposure can Participate in Art Detour All submissions to be exhibited at Artlink’s A.E. England Gallery, March 16-18. UPDATE: Deadline for entry is March 7 MARCH 12. Applications can be submitted online or dropped off to After Hours Gallery, located at 116 W. McDowell Rd. For Art Detour 24, Artlink is inviting all Valley artists to submit their hangable works of art for presentation in a PUBLIC HANGING.  The PUBLIC HANGING will be open for view at Artlink’s A.E. England Gallery space in downtown Phoenix during Art Detour, March 16th through 18th. The PUBLIC HANGING is a way for any artist to have their work shown in an established gallery and exposed to the public during Art Detour, one of the largest art events in Arizona. Any artist can submit work. The only requirements are that the piece submitted must be no larger than 36”W X 36”H X 12”D, be ready to hang and be self contained. The $25 hanging fee supports Artlink and includes becoming a Friend of Artlink, an annual individual contribution to support First Fridays, gallery openings and more. Says Mike Oleskow, Artlink President, “Phoenix has an extraordinarily rich artist community, yet many people never have a chance to have their work on display. The PUBLIC HANGING is an exciting way to make it possible for everyone to share their talents – and the small entry fee helps Artlink continue to promote First Fridays and other arts advocacy efforts.” Works on display at the PUBLIC HANGING will not be for sale and prices will not be listed, but artists’ information will be available for reference so interested viewers can connect with the artists. To be part of the PUBLIC HANGING, interested artists just need to visit www.artlinkphoenix.com for details and entry forms. Deadline for entry is March 7 March 12.  Drop-off will be at the A.E. Gallery on March 9th & 10th and pick-up is on March 24th. Artlink is a 501 C-3 non-profit arts advocacy organization, celebrating its 24th year. Major programs of Artlink include Art Detour, support of First Friday, coordination and support of the Trolleys for First Friday, operation of two exhibition spaces for artists in downtown Phoenix and connecting Phoenix businesses and volunteers with the Arts. The A.E. England Gallery is located at Civic Space Park, 424 North Central Avenue. There is a Metro Light Rail stop next to the Gallery.]]> 22751 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/03/16/seamless-ensemble-inspiration-line-art-detour/ Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:15:37 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=22794 Art Detour returning this weekend you may like a little ensemble inspiration. While a simple T-shirt and shorts is an easy go-to, these looks can spruce up your typical weekend style. The weather is appearing to stay in the high 70s, with a slight chance of rain on Sunday. For this free, self-guided tour throughout the art galleries I recommend you try to dress comfortable yet sleek. The Downtown Phoenix art scene is fairly flex, you will surely see people wearing an abundance of styles, but here are a few key looks that are sure to impress and distract a few wandering eyes away from the art and onto your fabulous style!

This first outfit is super flirty and pleasing for any body type. A clean, white blouse is always a fresh look especially when paired with a bold skirt. I chose a vivid pink, high-waisted skirt with thick pleats to add some volume and energy. This look can be worn with almost any type of shoe, but since the tour is partially on foot I definitely recommend flats to make sure your feet are super comfy. Don't forget a classic bag that is easy to carry, and make sure to keep it light so you are good to go all weekend long.

A second possibility for females attending the event is super laid-back and casual. This ensemble is perfect for any weather and has a simple charm about it. The horizontally striped shirt has 3/4 sleeves and can be worn alone or layered with a sophisticated blazer. The boyfriend jeans are a relaxed fit and float right into spring with a simple cuffed hem. An over the shoulder bag is always a plus for those who like to keep their hands free. The burnt orange shoes are dramatic yet demure touch for this luxe outfit. The third look is for all the fashionistos out there. There is no reason that all the eyes should be on the art or the females attending the event, time for the men out there to make a pop! You can't go wrong with a nice pair of fitted jeans paired with a white collared shirt. Add some flare to the look with a funky tie, maybe some playful polka dots – or even a bow tie! Of course to complete the look a sleek watch will keep the look classic and suave. Just in case the clouds decide to pour down on our urban desert, above are a few key essentials for any outdoor excursion. For those of you who are animal lovers and plan to have your furry friend along for the festival, an adorable raincoat for the little one is a great way for them to keep dry. Rain boots were a huge hit this winter season, so on this rainy day it is the perfect time to bring them out for a final spin before tucking them away for the summer months. And of course, a bubble umbrella matches any outfit and is super stylish to carry anywhere. No matter which ensemble fits your personality, better make sure to remember lots of water, sunscreen to protect yourself from the squelching Arizona sunshine and a camera to capture the fun adventure that will unfold during this year's Art Detour.

I like how small, location wise, it is. I can bike or walk pretty much anywhere. Where do you like to explore? I like to go to the Phoenix Art Museum on Wednesdays, when it is free. I am also kind of a foodie so I like to eat out at different places. Why do you use your bike as your mode of transportation?

I went to check out the event and asked a few people, both attendees and people involved in putting the event on, what they thought about it taking place in Margaret T. Hance Park instead of its usual spot in Mesa. Local acts The Sugar Thieves, Common Ground Blues Band, Big Daddy D & The Dynamites, and Dave Riley & Bob Corritore were among the many blues acts that performed throughout the sunny afternoon. [caption id="attachment_22886" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Big Daddy D & The Dynamites"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_22889" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The crowd at the Blues Blast"][/caption] This was Denna Cook and Zachary Cook's sixth or seventh time coming to the Phoenix Blues Society's Blues Blast, and they both loved its new digs. "I think it's way better. I love all the space, the open grass, the painted fence – in Mesa, it was a little cramped. And I love being able to park for free in the neighborhood." said Zachary, who lives downtown. "At first when I heard it would be downtown [instead of in Mesa], I was disappointed. Now, I think it's way better here," Denna said. "The beer is cheaper, and the painting thing is cool." [caption id="attachment_22875" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Zachary Cook and Denna Cook enjoying the Blues Blast"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_22877" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Zachary Cook's contribution to the mural at the Blues Blast"][/caption] The "painting thing" was a white paper banner that ran all along the inside of the park's fence. Children and adults alike were invited to decorate the fence by painting whatever they liked on the paper. I got more details from the people in charge of the fence art later, but first, I chatted with Vickie and K.D. while Ed was painting. "I've been to the festival about three times before," K.D. said. "I love the new venue. I love this much better than Mesa. It's closer to my house. It's close to the light rail, and I like the vendors." "The vendors are a big plus," agreed Vickie. "This is my first year here, and I think it's awesome. We had no trouble parking, everybody's got space, and it's very nice." "And we love the blues. Love the blues," K.D. said. [caption id="attachment_22876" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vickie, Ed, and K.D. painting the fence while listening to the blues "][/caption] [caption id="attachment_22878" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Vickie, Ed, and K.D. painting the fence at the Blues Blast"][/caption] Next, I chatted with Sandy Zally, the children's art teacher at the Phoenix Center for the Arts, and Carla Landwerth, a member of the Phoenix Blues Society's board, to find out more about the live mural and about the event in general. "When we were planning the blues blast we wanted to see if we could get the Phoenix Center for the Arts involved because people aren't aware of what goes on there," Carla said. (The Phoenix Center for the Arts happens to be right next to the park the Blues Blast was being held at.) "We had to cover fence anyway, so we decided to do it in white paper to turn it into a live mural piece!" said Sandy. [caption id="attachment_22883" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Carla Landwerth with the Phoenix Blues Society and Sandy Zally with the Phoenix Center for the Arts"][/caption] Carla,"People have already come and said to us, 'Oh my gosh, we love it here, we're so glad you moved here.' It's so nice for us to be in Downtown Phoenix. We're the Phoenix Blues Society and we had our event in Mesa -- it didn't really make sense," she said with a laugh. "So we moved it here, and whenever we can involve other arts activities we think it's important. We also have a theater group (Off The Cuff) over there that's selling raffle tickets to raise money for their program as well, so we like to have as many arts activities as possible." Most importantly, both Carla and Sandy agreed that the music was great. "The music rocks! We have really excellent bands this year. This really gives people the opportunity to come out and hear music that they maybe haven't heard all year, or introduce them to a local band they might want to go see at their local bar," Carla said. If you missed this year's Blues Blast, don't worry, you didn't miss out on all the blues downtown has to offer. You can check out The Sugar Thieves every Wednesday night at Copper Blues.

To that end, here are some ways to celebrate with a new kind of Green Beer – an environmentally green beer. If we're being forthright, brewing is not, on the face of it, a very environmentally green practice. According to the Great Lakes Water Conservation Workshop, it takes upwards of 40 pints of water to brew a pint of beer. When you factor in the water used to grow hops and malt, a pint of beer takes a whopping 317 pints. Take heart however. There are far more water resource intensive operations than brewing such as cattle ranching and citrus growing – two Arizona mainstays. An 8 ounce glass of OJ requires about 432 pints of water. Enjoy a locally brewed Irish style. Sleepy Dog's Red Rover is on tap at Copper Blues in CityScape and pours a deep amber. There is a characteristic caramel hint of sweetness that finishes with low bitterness and dryness. As an American touch, Sleepy Dog adds some chocolate and darker roast malts for a deeper color and distinct flavor. Copper Blues 50 W Jefferson St Phoenix 480-719-5005 Try an Organic Beer. While I am not here to tell you that I can taste the difference between an organic beer and one that is not--I can't and I am skeptical of anyone that says they can. I do think it's important to acknowledge breweries that take the time to source their ingredients in a way that reduces impact on the soil and water. You can get three examples of organic beer at The Lost Leaf: Samuel Smiths Strawberry Ale,  Pinkus Pilsner and Deschutes Green Lakes Amber. The Lost Leaf 914 N 5th Street Phoenix 602-258-0014 Visit a brewery on the light rail. Phoenix is home to two rail-friendly breweries, but only Sun Up offers a Red and a full pub menu.

Cans are lighter than their bottle counterparts by a factor of 8 to 1. Lighter cans mean a reduced carbon footprint. Support a distributor that uses solar. World Class Beverages is the fine beer arm of Crescent Crown Distribution. This year, Crescent crown installed 6,840 panels on the roof of the 240,000-square-foot building near Dysart Road and Sweetwater Avenue. They also have a number of hybrid trucks. Find the beers they distribute and where to buy them using their Beerspy. Finally, do not drink a beer from a green bottle. You're paying a premium for a product that is packaged in a bottle that will ensure that the hops will be skunked in just under a minute in the Arizona sun. Beer in brown bottles protect hops from UV rays whereas green bottles do not. A light-struck beer is often called "skunked" as UV rays interact with hops to create a chemical compound called mercaptan. Mercaptan is the active ingredient in a skunk's defensive spray. Green bottles from Holland on St Pats are not traditional by any stretch.

From additional seating areas (including actual dining areas) to opening up more of the museum’s interior square footage for bottleneck relief and added participant staging, to simple aesthetics and comfort (strewn trash was more routinely picked up; tubs of complimentary bottled water were quickly refilled upon depletion), this year’s Devoured was a class in how to throw a major-league food festival that still maintains an air of intimacy. Though Sunday is traditionally the more electric day of Devoured, Saturday was definitely not far behind this year, giving crowds some equally fantastic offerings. Roka Akor came through strong Saturday with a sinister, smoky dice of grilled pork belly adorned with a mellow but oh-so gratifying kimchi; Province did well with tender pork meatballs lathered in a spicy, piquillo pepper marinara; and, Sierra Bonita’s roast pork loin, rubbed in an espresso-cocoa mix and steeped in a potent vanilla butter sauce also came out, if nothing else, as a positive surprise. Relish Burger Bistro, who parked both days of the festival, showed well with what they do best – burgers – showing off a mouth-melting Wagyu slider. St. Francis, on the other hand, decimated the competition with a pitch-perfect garden salad, wowing with its bright collage of fresh local produce, nutty quinoa and a velvety citrus vinaigrette. [caption id="attachment_23049" align="alignleft" width="226" caption="Gallo Blanco"][/caption] By Saturday’s end, however, no single taste was more sinful than Gallo Blanco Cafe’s pork belly tacos, the meat of which virtually dissolved with each stolen bite. Served with a helping of sharp pickled onions and shavings of their infamous grilled corn (elote), these tacos easily stole Saturday’s show. Then, came Sunday - a new day and, frankly, the weekend’s biggest arsenal. J&G Steakhouse served an exceptionally seared slice of salted, dry-aged sirloin; Different Point of View returned, once again, with a made-to-order masterpiece: this year a photogenic brick of pork belly, grilled and stacked over savory griddled corn cakes, glued together with a delightful strawberry rhubarb compote. Downtown’s ever-charming bookend for solid Jamaican eating, the Breadfruit, surprised even their biggest fans with a singular, simple, but perfectly delicious mussel, perfumed with a fragrant truffle and rum-accented broth that finished with the sting of some soulful Caribbean heat. Barrio Cafe also helped anchor firm on Sunday with a no-surprise cochinita pibil knock-out; and, Citizen Public House came to the party quiet but equally strong, with their jewel-sized knobs of tea-smoked tuna - tender and irresistible. [caption id="attachment_23057" align="alignright" width="225" caption="Tuck Shop"][/caption] For pure showmanship, Tuck Shop earned populist raves for their eye-catching (and momentous) seafood boil. Crawfish, shrimp, cobs of corn and red potatoes bathed in cajun-spiced waters before delivery (read: dumping) atop piles of newsprint for patrons to self-serve. Sunday also brought the sheer, direct delights of Hana Japanese Eatery with a buffet of light, tasteful offerings, from tender skewers of marinated meats, smoky from the grill, to quail egg and sea urchin shooters that easily ranked as one of Devoured biggest fireworks. If “cute” wasn’t a respectable sentiment for a great bite of food before, it is now, thanks entirely to the playful servings of “pork and beans” offered by Beckett’s Table. Hinting at that known classic combination, the restaurant clearly took a left turn, but in the right direction, with their pork rillette and herbed white beans, in a light but slurp-worthy broth. And finally, any mention of Devoured sans a highlight of Kai would be a snag in life’s path. And, the regional dining powerhouse once again spared no effort. Easily stacking the longest lines of the weekend, Kai’s suckling pig machaca, roasting flamboyantly on a firey spit in full-view, served atop garlic fry bread with a tangy fruit jam, and, their tender flakes of cedar-grilled arctic char, continued to show why this trophy restaurant sits with few local peers. At the end of a very long weekend, as we tended to our bruised elbows, sore feet, overstuffed stomachs and first-degree sunburns, we were all wholeheartedly reminded once again about the unapologetic pleasure of attending the Devoured Culinary Classic, year after year. It continues to show us how first-class eating, and simply enjoying a major food festival, doesn’t always have to be a mutually exclusive occurrence. See you next year.

So, imagine our surprise (quelle surprise! – yes, we think in French when musing about urban bicycling) when we read this online petition posted by Greg Esser of the Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation. [caption id="attachment_23151" align="aligncenter" width="374" caption="Petition posted on Change.org"][/caption]

Could it be that a current street improvement plan excludes bike lanes, on what is one of downtown's busiest, and one would think, multi-modal oriented thoroughfares?

The petition explains:

Roosevelt Street currently experiences a high volume of bicycle use. Bicycle lanes significantly increase safety for bicyclists, vehicles and pedestrians. Phoenix City Council adopted the Downtown Plan in 2008 which recommends installation of bike lanes along Roosevelt Street between 5th Avenue and 7th Street.

Wouldn't we, as a community, want to show off the Historic Roosevelt district's beautiful streetscape to roaming pedal-pushers? And as destinations continue to pop-up in the Evans Churchill Neighborhood, wouldn't any plans of development include this critical mode of transportation, especially given the proximity of a popular Light Rail station at Central/Roosevelt? It seems the current answer is "no." If you want to try and change that, you might want to add your name to the growing list of petitioners.]]> 23150 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/03/20/wire-energize-phoenix-hosts-efficiency-fair/ Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:00:05 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=23183 Some news items don’t need translation.

Mrs. Magician's sound was like a mix of grungy, garage-rock bass and of buckets of San Diego surfer rock -- think lots of "Wipe Out"-esque guitar riffs. Unfortunately, the guitar definitely overpowered the rest of the band last night. This may have been because his volume was too high, or it may have just been too small of a venue for their big sound. After giving their recently-released album another listen on Spotify, I'm chocking it up to a combination of the two, because on their album, they sound crisp, clean, and balanced with only a hint of properly-distorted guitar sound. Also, it absolutely has to be noted that their drummer, who has also been backing Cults the entire tour, looked remarkably like Neil Patrick Harris -- see the gallery below. I'm guessing he's probably sick of hearing that, too, since I overheard at least two others in the crowd mention it to their plus ones. If you ever see this blog post, I apologize. But it had to be said.

I'd recommend giving them a listen online, or better yet, going to see them next week, March 28th at the Crescent Ballroom with Hot Snakes and Spider Fever. Next up was Spectrals (aka Louis Jones), who can be quickly summed up as solid Brit-pop with a slightly awkward stage presence. The sound was definitely good, and much more low-key than the band before them, but I spent most of the time watching his bass guitarist, who was much more animated than the rest of his backers, bopping and dancing even during the self-proclaimed "cheesy slow song for the lovers." Cults took the stage around 10, and the following 45 minute set was powerful, perfectly on-point, and consistently awesome throughout. I wondered if they would be a little worn down after coming pretty fresh off SXSW with no break, and although it seemed Madeline Follin's throat may have been bothering her with a few coughs and several sips of water, her voice showed absolutely no wear. It impressed me the way Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells impressed me when I saw them back in Minneapolis -- I simply can't believe how either of their voices stay so loud, strong, high and powerful for 45 minutes straight, but I'm positively mesmerized by it. They opened the set with "Abducted," a love song about an unhealthy relationship, and pushed steadily through almost their entire self-titled album. They did offer one surprise track -- after Brian Oblivion mentioned that they've played in Arizona six times in the last year, he said they'd be doing a song they haven't played for many people yet: a Leonard Cohen cover of "Never Saw the Point."

Other than introducing the cover track, there was no chit-chat in between songs last night -- just a cute "Thank you!" from Follin after each song, and an invitation to sing along to "Go Outside." Before playing their closing song, "Oh My God," Oblivion said, "We've always hated encores, we think they're pretentious," a.k.a. a concise and honest, thank you, goodnight, and don't stick around too long 'cause this really is our last song.

One block east of bustling Central Avenue and just north of busy Camelback Road lies Windsor Square, a cozy Uptown historic district established in 1929 and consisting of about 260 homes. Sunday, March 25, twelve homeowners in the district will open their doors to the public for the biennial, self-guided Windsor Square Home and Garden Tour and Street Festival. Baker’s 1939 French Provincial home, which will be featured on this year’s tour, boasts its original red brick exterior, but the nearly 3,000 square-foot interior and backyard have endured extensive renovations. Inside the home, natural light fills the rooms that were opened up and added on during its remodel, and decorations ranging from Pottery Barn furniture to trinkets and art from around the world enhance and individualize the space. “It’s eclectic because I have some things from Hawaii where I lived for 30 years and then I have a lot of things that are just things I like,” she says. On the west side of the house, a round green table with four seats and a high chair sits in the center of what Baker refers to as the “breakfast room.” A tall bookshelf adorned with some of her mother’s collected bird cages rests in one corner, and a single bird cage from Hong Kong hangs in the other. The breakfast room makes up part of the immaculate kitchen, which consists of light wood cupboards embellished with pottery and dishes, an L-shaped brown granite countertop with a rounded end, and slate flooring. A brick wall lines the back of the kitchen and Baker explains that it was originally the rear wall of the house, possibly containing an alcove for a washer and dryer. Now, through an open doorway, a pantry, bathroom and washer and dryer occupy a small hallway. At the end of the hallway, a mudroom turned playroom holds her grandchildren’s toys. “I call this the grandmother’s house,” she says with a laugh. “I bought this house for my grandchildren to live in and enjoy and visit, and to have spaces and places for everything.” The east side of the house exhibits a spacious dining room where a narrow living room previously stood. A dark brown table with six chairs sits atop a multicolored rug in the middle of the blue-walled room, and a brick fireplace lies between the two windows. The dining room marked the edge of the house until the 1960s renovations. Three bedrooms now branch off a large living room along with the master suite, which was constructed from the original two bedrooms and single bathroom that were once accessible from the kitchen. Long glass doors lead to the backyard which includes a swimming pool, a grassy area and a charming patio lined with potted flowers. A bee pollinates blue hibiscus flowers, the pride of Baker’s garden this spring and a reminder of the 30 years she spent in Honolulu, Hawaii working in public relations and advertising. Just outside of the backyard resides a two and one half car garage, transformed from a one bedroom and one bathroom guest house. “Something about having to walk outside from your garage to your house just tends to make you more connected to the neighborhood,” Baker says. Moving between Honolulu and her hometown of Phoenix for much of her life, she recently returned to Arizona and set out to find a home to accommodate herself and her daughter and granddaughters. “I came down here (to Windsor) and I loved it,” she says. “I think a lot of it, which I didn’t realize at the time, was that it reminded me of the neighborhoods I grew up in in Phoenix.” She purchased the home in September 2010 and her neighbors welcomed her with flowers and party invites. Baker (pictured right) explains that the neighborhood is a diverse area with warm and friendly residents who share a similar vibe. “We like to call it ‘Mayberry USA,’” she laughs. Baker, who was recently elected president of the Windsor Square Special Planning District Board, joined the tour because she thought showcasing her home would be a fun experience. “I love to entertain, and I just love my house and I’d like to share it with people,” she says. She adds that it’s a great way to contribute to the community’s biggest fundraiser. Baker says the residences on the tour range from a small Pueblo Revival home to the grandiose Lutfy home, a Spanish Colonial Revival building that owner Philip Lutfy spent months restoring to its 1939 state. “We love to welcome people into our neighborhood and we love to show off our fun little secret that we have back here,” she says. “It’ll be a good day.”

Elegance From Earth: Hopi Pottery is a new exhibit at the Heard Museum that tells the story of the centuries-old Hopi pottery tradition. Opening on March 24, Elegance >From Earth will offer a comprehensive view of Hopi pottery's fertile legacy. The exhibition closes September 30, 2012. "Hopi pottery is famous for its intricate painting," comments Heard curator Diana Pardue. "There is nothing else quite like it. By exhibiting both historic as well as contemporary work, Elegance From Earth will illustrate the great range and scope of this wonderful tradition." Elegance From Earth explores the intertwined matriarchal artistic legacies of the Nampeyo, Naha and Navasie families. The Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo (c.1859-1942) was the first American Indian potter to be known and recognized by name. She revived a style of low-shouldered spherical jars based on those made at the village of Sikyatki in the 1600s, evolving detailed and complex designs inspired by Sikyatki pottery. In more recent times, her great-granddaughter Dextra Quotskuyva has received much recognition for her innovative designs and has taught some techniques to other family members, including her daughter Camille and her nephews Steve Lucas and Les Namingha. The exhibit will also showcase the work of another great Hopi pottery matriarch, Paqua Naha (Frog Woman), who developed a distinctive style of white-slipped pottery with black and deep-red designs that was later adopted by her daughter Joy Navasie, who passed the tradition on to her children and grandchildren. Other significant makers represented include Helen Naha and her two daughters Rainy and Sylvia. "Pottery traditions, like those of other American Indian art forms, change and become reinvented through time," said Pardue. "Imaginative potters continue to work in centuries-old techniques using clay, paints and firing methods learned from their ancestors, while creating new shapes and painting unique designs."

The identity of Phoenix is made stronger by our arts community, from the small business owners who occupy gallery space, to the evolution and success of First Fridays. The city benefits from the inspiration and new ideas discovered through a creative process, but “if you don’t provide for your artists, they leave.” So says Matt Baker, founder of Metropolitan Arts Institute. Believing arts education is one way to provide for young artists, Baker in 1998 founded Metro Arts as a tuition-free, college preparatory visual and performing arts school for grades 7-12. The charter school is modeled after California art schools like Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in Santa Monica and Idyllwild Arts Academy in Idyllwild-Pine Cove. “Phoenix is an adolescent city. We need more people to found organizations that get others thinking about our identity and who we are,” said Baker, the current Head of School. “One advantage to living in an adolescent city is anyone can do that. After grad school I wasn’t planning on staying in Phoenix, but the opportunity to start this school came up, and I’m still here.”

“If you don’t provide for your artists, they leave.” -- Matt Baker, Metropolitan Arts Institute

In public high schools, art and music programs always seem to be on the chopping block, while a heavy emphasis is placed on athletic programs. For students serious about sports, traditional high schools provide fields, weight rooms, pools, and dedicated coaches. Talented athletes have more opportunities to be seen by scouts or receive scholarships than do talented artists who may not even have a chance to take an art elective until their junior year of high school. By then, too much time has passed to create a well-rounded portfolio. “Students come to Metro Arts in 7th and 8th grade, explore different art forms, then come into their freshmen year prepared. Like playing a sport, it’s best to start young,” said Baker. 280 students are enrolled this year with 60-100 on a waiting list. Prospective students must be in good academic standing with at least a C average, have passed the AIMS test, and had no serious disciplinary action on their student record. “Being an artist doesn’t mean you get to be lazy. It means you are creative. You have to produce,” said Baker. At Metro Arts, students have the guidance, encouragement, and opportunity to do just that. Part of the vision of Metro Arts is to create a pre-professional environment that exposes students to the realities of life in the art world. Two big art shows are held each school year in which students compete to get in by submitting their best work, which is juried, just as in the professional world. Students have other opportunities to show their work at the Phoenix Art Museum, the ASU Art Museum and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.  An Artist Grows in Phoenix Last year as a freshmen, Bela Elvin painted a self-portrait; won second place at the Arizona Student Film Festival for a public service announcement she collaborated on about healthy eating titled “A Series of Unhealthy Events;” starred in a play; and wrote her own for the 5 Minute Play Festival titled “Dr. Khatte Tells his Tail,” a one act play about an intellectually suppressed cat. [caption id="attachment_18891" align="alignright" width="227" caption="Self portrait by Bela Elvin."][/caption] Now a sophomore, she is gaining valuable hands-on experience and building an impressive portfolio while also completing the required high school academic courses in biology, geometry and humanities. Bela’s mother, Katie Elvin, a poet and artist herself, was renting a room at 11 East Ashland, a former art gallery in Phoenix, when Bela was born. “She came into the world surrounded by art. When she was a little girl I knew I wanted her to attend an art school,” said Elvin. “Artists think differently and may not flourish in a traditional school. I wanted to help her build skill sets to do the things she wants to do in the future.” Bela speaks about her school and education with the maturity of a sophomore in college, not a sophomore in high school. Her passion for her work and excitement about the training she receives at Metro Arts brightens the room like houselights in a theater. “If you just want to breeze through classes and do the bare minimum required to pass, you can do that just like you can anywhere. But if you want to make the most of your arts education, you can. The teachers have experience and vast knowledge of what they do. The academic teachers are just as passionate about their subjects as the arts teachers.” She says her math teacher considers the subject an art form. “I was terrible at math until I took his algebra class.” All the arts teachers are also working artists from the Phoenix arts community. The Assistant Head of School, Lisa Starry, is the Artistic Director of Scorpius Dance Theater. Bela’s Mixed Media teacher is Sue Chenoweth, a painter whose most recent solo exhibition, “Spyhopping” opened at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in 2010. Chenoweth’s work has also been shown in New York and other galleries in Phoenix. Bela says she is excited to study under such an accomplished artist this year. After she graduates from Metro Arts Bela plans to attend McGill University in Montreal, Canada to pursue a degree in psychology and theater, but for now she is focused on making the most of her sophomore year. She wrote another play that has been accepted into the 5 Minute Play Festival and she has kept busy by working on that production. Her favorite memory of the last school year was when Alan Arkin visited Metro Arts and spoke to the student body. “He told us that when someone asks us what we do, not to say, ‘I’m an actress’ but instead to say ‘I’m a person who acts.’ He told us to put ourselves being a human before our work. I liked his message because he was teaching us not to define ourselves simply by our work because that doesn’t say who we are as people, ” said Bela. Perhaps our city can be defined by people like her.]]> 18888 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/03/23/artist-finds-footing-fridays/ Fri, 23 Mar 2012 17:54:23 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=23339 Downtown Phoenix is an ever-changing landscape, but amidst all the developments, bureaucracy, and continual struggle to create an urban core with an authentic sense of place, there is at least one event that has remained a constant feature and lifeblood in Downtown for over 20 years: First Fridays. Local artist Carol Roque has been a part of this tradition as a vendor at every First Friday since December 2006 when she began selling her work as a young art student. Roque remembers the years of the mid 2000s as a simpler time, when artists gathered in dirt lots along Roosevelt Row, where one man would bring a generator and for ten bucks he’d allow artists to plug their extension cords in so they could light up their booths. As First Friday continued to grow and spill out into the neighborhood streets the City of Phoenix began to take notice and it wasn’t long before bureaucracy was inserted into the evolution of the monthly event. Soon paperwork, applications, and licenses became required for artists to display and sell their work. “The license was easy to get back then. The City helped so I got everything I needed.” At the age of 25, Roque has been a regular for long enough to remember when such things were not needed. Her friend and now collaborator, Aldo Jeffery, invited her to show her work at First Friday after he happened to see some portraits she had completed while studying animation at the Art Institute of Phoenix. He offered her space at his table where she carefully set out her samples for display. “I was so nervous that I don’t think I said a single word all night.” She may not have said anything but she made $45 from sales of her 5x5 prints that she sold for $5.00 a piece. “I had no idea that people bought art. I didn’t know you could do art for a living, I knew you could do animation, but I hated that.” She stuck with school and earned a B.A. in Media Arts and Animation, although she never pursued animation. Instead, after graduation she taught herself to oil paint and set out to make a living as a full time artist. Connecting Through Art Since childhood, Roque carried notebooks with her which she explains were her closest friends; she filled the pages with drawings and portraits of people for whom she would name and create stories and details to explain their lives. As a kid she attended 4 different schools before moving from the Los Angeles area to Mesa with her family. “It was easier for me to connect with my paintings than it was for me to make friends.” The theme that runs through her work is loneliness, a feeling seen in the expressions on the faces of the people she creates. Some of the subjects have distorted faces, some have large noses, all have intense eyes that seem to be pleading for understanding and love. Roque says people comment that the people in her paintings look sad and depressing. “That caught me off guard to hear. It was a reminder that I’m not the only one who feels sad, other people do too.” Her first painting was completed in a digital print and ink class where she learned how to paint on a computer. She still uses the computer as a way to map out her visions. Once an idea is created digitally, she is able to choose which one she wants to turn into an oil painting. “I have to keep focused and imagine what I want. I think through the whole painting digitally, then plan how to turn it into an oil painting. It’s much easier to do it this way because it’s planned out and I’m not just painting blindly. I can plan the composition and the under painting and I don’t have to worry if I’m painting the lighting correctly.” She said she always admired oil painters and now prefers oil because she can blend colors infinitely, but “oil paint is really dangerous and toxic. My hands used to tingle all the time and I thought that was normal. It’s not. I take precautions and wear gloves now.” Living an Uncomplicated Life Her work is shown around town in coffee shops or bars. Earlier this month she had a show at Hair Pollution on McDowell with Jeffery and this month her work is on display at Buffalo Exchange as their Artist of the Month. She will have a regular gallery on Roosevelt Row in May where she will debut her newest and favorite painting. “No one has seen it yet and it’s still untitled. It’s a girl with purple lilac hair, you see her back and she’s looking back at you with a lot of pain and emotion in her eyes. It’s intense but pretty when you first see it. There is a heart stitched on her back with a yellow bird on her shoulder holding one end of the string.” Roque says she’s grateful that her life is uncomplicated at the moment. “Sometimes I just work inside all day and only ever come out to First Friday. I should probably get out and socialize more. I’ve had a level of success, people recognize my work. The next step is to pay my rent more regularly.” She acknowledges that during her years participating in First Friday she has witnessed many changes but what hasn’t changed is the interest in the downtown art scene. “People come for different reasons. There are a lot of teenagers, lots of middle-aged men and women and elderly people. It’s everyone.” Roque is out every First Friday and Third Friday in front of MADE Art Boutique on Roosevelt Street sharing her work with the Downtown Phoenix community. On Third Friday she draws live and you can get a custom portrait in about 20-30 minutes for only 15 bucks.

1950’s Al Beadle Building the Site for Adaptive Reuse Concept on Central Ave. UPDATE – location pictured below. Upward Projects, a group of locally-focused restaurateurs headed by Craig & Kris DeMarco and Lauren & Wyatt Bailey, will open a brand new restaurant concept in the North Central* Phoenix neighborhood in the Fall/Winter of 2012.  The location, a historically relevant Al Beadle building located on the Southwest corner of Central Avenue and West Oregon Avenue (5210 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, 85013), will encompass 3,000 square feet of space that originally housed the iconic First Federal Savings & Loan Bank.  Architecture and design will be a joint effort executed by Shepley Bulfinch and Upward Projects, with a priority placed on preserving the original architecture and keeping the structural integrity in-tact. [caption id="attachment_23549" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Al Beadle designed building, former of home of First Federal Savings & Loan Bank."][/caption]

As the plans are being drawn up and the idea boards are pinned with ideas, Upward Projects is working hard to preserve the legacy of the architect that helped create the magic.  “The coolest part of this process has been meeting Nancy Beadle, Al’s wife.  We feel immense pressure to show each project the justice it deserves, so sharing our vision with her has been unbelievably important to us,” Kris DeMarco says.

The team has been traveling extensively, gathering ideas and inspirations from dynamic communities around the world.  “North Central Phoenix is one of the most vibrant, neighborhood-centric pockets around, and it’s still accessible to nearly everyone.  Since we opened Postino Central in 2009, and subsequently Windsor & Churn in 2011, we’ve had a chance to connect with the people that live, work and play in the area and they are electrifying.  The North Central neighbors have provided immense support over the years, and we are committed to this community,” says Lauren Bailey. Upward Projects also worked in conjunction with Local First Arizona to put the project through the Adaptive Reuse Process, a City of Phoenix-sanctioned policy that encourages density in the Phoenix area.  Through this process, a focus is placed on decreasing building permit fees for infill projects that are closer to the city center light rail and bicycle routes, with a goal of creating more creative spaces for independent businesses to thrive in the heart of historic Phoenix. When the project opens in the latter part of 2012, 50-60 additional jobs will be created along with the rebirth of an iconic building that will serve the residents that surround.  For more information on Upward Projects, visit www.upwardprojects.com *Some refer to this area as Uptown.

Prizes include a Novara Corsa bike, bike tune-ups, hotel stays, or gift certificates for food and entertainment. Bike Valet  Adding to the Valley Bike Month activities, Valley Metro is partnering with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Urban Commons Summit, and several local bike clubs to provide free valet bicycle parking for every D-backs game during Bike Month. All April long, cyclists can bring their bikes to the designated area at the Urban Commons Summit, just across from Chase Field on Fourth Street. A volunteer will attach a claim check to the bike, and give the matching number to the rider. All the biker has to do is hold on to their valet ticket, enjoy the game, then return within an hour after it's over to pick up their bike. The service is free of charge (however, the volunteers will gladly accept tips). “Cycling has seen a surge in popularity recently, especially in central Phoenix. We are modeling our program after the successful partnership between the San Francisco Giants and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition” said Suzanne Day, Valley Bike Month coordinator. The Urban Commons Summit is donating use of the Summit at Copper Square (pictured left) space to help support the effort. Other local organizations participating to help staff the bike valet include the Arizona Bicycle Club, the Coalition of Arizona Bicyclists, the Tempe Bike Action Group, and more. The partnership offers a temporary solution to the lack of bike parking downtown, and encourages more people to use something other than their cars to get to Chase Field. Downtowners can ride on over, and those who live a little further out have an incentive to bike to their nearest light rail station to get to the game. Positively impacting local air quality, decreasing pollution, and boosting the urban bike scene -- win, win, and win! Valley Metro Great Bike Chase & Game On April 22, the Diamondbacks play the Braves at Chase Field. That's fun in and of itself, but for this special Bike Month event, join hundreds of other bicyclists for a group ride from Margaret T. Hance Park to to Chase Field with a few stops and festivities along the way. Starting at 10:30 a.m., there will be individual and group bike rides, a bike expo and safety rodeo, and kids’ activities. Participants will get discounted D-backs tickets and free valet bike parking (see above), with the game starting at 1:10 p.m. Get registered for the Great Bike Chase here. Whether you've participated in Bike Month before or you're new to pedal-pushing, there's a way for everyone to celebrate getting around on two wheels, including families, those looking to learn more about bike culture, and people who ride their bikes every single day.

So, here goes my first structured recap for the White Rabbits show last Friday night at – where else? – the Crescent Ballroom. Atmosphere: While waiting for White Rabbits to take the stage, the mood was tense and impatient – more so than normal for anxious concert-goers. It felt like there was a collective attitude of, "I'm bored, let's get this show on the road!" Once the show was on the road, though, it was a very chill crowd. Not much dancing (even during the most upbeat tracks), not a lot of singing-along, just a collective and contented bopping of heads and swaying of bodies. It was almost like everyone who had come out that night was just there to see some live music on a Friday, and not necessarily familiar with the band. However, everyone seemed to really enjoy the show, and I'd venture to say they got a few new album downloads that night. Opening Act: Not Gull, as advertised, but Zombie Jesus. I have to say, although his sound was decidedly not my style, he was a talented multi-tasker, playing guitar and drums at the same time. He got a pretty solid cheer from about a fourth of the crowd by the end. Opening Song: Heavy Metal from their new album Milk Famous. Watch their newly-released video for the track on YouTube. Closing Song: Kid On My Shoulders from the 2007 album Fort Nightly. Favorite Song: Percussion Gun from the 2009 album It's Frightening. What the Crowd Wore: As usual at the Crescent, the crowd was mostly 20-somethings to 30-somethings, with styles ranging from the typical button-down wearing hipster to (surprisingly) the typical Ed Hardy-t-shirt wearing dude. What the Band Wore: Blue jeans and lots of fitted, v-neck t's. Guitarist/vocalist Alexander Even broke the trend with a grey tank. Band's Drink of Choice for the Evening: Tecate. Blogger's Drink of Choice for the Evening: PBR.]]> 23820 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/04/wire-phoenix-college-jazz-celebration-festival-benefit-rosies-house/ Wed, 04 Apr 2012 21:16:59 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=23903 Some news items don’t need translation.

The concert also features the Superstition Jazz Orchestra and the Doublers Collective. The performance will be in PC’s Bulpitt Auditorium, 1202 W. Thomas Road in Phoenix, starting at 8 p.m. The concert caps off a full day of musical instruction as part of the Music Department’s annual festival. Students from throughout the state travel to PC that day to get professional instruction at the school’s Sessions Recital Hall. This year’s featured guest, Mr. Vadala, is the director of Jazz Studies at the University of Maryland, where he is also a saxophone professor. He played in the Chuck Mangione Band for many years and has appeared on more than 100 recordings to date, including jingle sessions and film and TV scores. The educator and performer also plays the flute and clarinet. He will be backed by the Superstition Jazz Orchestra, a dynamic big band made up of top professional musicians from Phoenix. Based in Phoenix College, the band performs under the direction of Milas Yoes, coordinator of Instrumental Music, Jazz Studies, and Humanities at PC. The Doublers Collective will also play with Mr. Vadala and specializes in woodwind instruments in a progressive jazz setting. In keeping with the educational focus of the performance, students from PC’s Live Sound Reinforcement classes will handle the sound mixing and microphone duties for the live performance. And a group of young students from Rosie’s House, a Phoenix-based non-profit music academy for children, will be performing in the lobby prior to show time. Admission is $5 and all proceeds will go to Rosie’s House, which provides music lessons and loaned instruments to low-income children. “It should be a gala event,” said PC’s Yoes. “It will be a night of saxophone madness.

NEW DOWNTOWN GALLERY DEBUTS WITH "INSPIRED SOLES" ART SHOW AND AUCTION

6th Avenue Gallery exhibition features stilettos like you've never seen them before.

What would you do with a black stiletto as a canvas? That's the question that the predominantly female crew behind the 6th Avenue Gallery posed to artists and designers to solicit participation in "Inspired Soles" Art Show and Auction. The response has been nothing short of sensational - but don't take our word for it. Come see for yourself when the 6th Avenue Gallery debuts its exhibition on First Friday in April. Featuring dozens of high heel stilettos transformed into works of art, along with a provocative photo collection of women wearing their favorite power stilettos, this show is sure to validate what Marilyn Monroe and women everywhere have long known to be true: "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world." The "Inspired Soles" stiletto art show will be unveiled during a one-night event and auction presented by the 6th Avenue Gallery. The gallery's grand opening celebration in downtown Phoenix will be done in style, complete with food trucks, music, and just enough twinkle lighting to check out the undoubtedly inspired soles of those who attend this event. Bring your wallet, because every stiletto featured in the "Inspired Soles" exhibition will be sold to the highest bidders. Proceeds will benefit Artlink Phoenix, a nonprofit organization dedicated to linking artists, business and the public to better understand, appreciate and promote a thriving arts community in central Phoenix.

If I go there I can get beer and an amazing fried bologna sandwich. I became more aware of how this works with other people this week when sustainability advocate and architect, Taz Loomans, recommended Crescent Ballroom as a great place to eat. I realize that Crescent enlisted Chris Bianco and Doug Robson to create the menu, but I think most people think of Crescent Ballroom as premier music and event venue. Taz is not a drinker. She was calculating the Crescent using different math. I decided it might be time to add some more variables to my equation. I concluded there were Four Crescents. You can catch up on the first Crescent, music, right here in DPJ. I can confirm that my Pastor Burrito was top notch--grilled crispy on four sides and just the right mix of spicy beans an pork.  Taz and others offered glowing recommendations of the remaining menu items. Shout out to Courtney Nush who originally reviewed the Ballroom for DPJ, the kitchen indeed delivers (and it's now open for weekday lunch). Great food is the second Crescent. I’m going to focus on the beer and leave the cocktail and wine to the expertise of others when I discuss the Lounge as the third Crescent. It’s nice to see that this music venue relegated the Bud, Miller and Pabst to the can cooler leaving 3 of the 4 tap handles to Sierra Nevada Pale, Odell IPA and the local Kilt Lifter. There are cans and bottles of Hop Knot, Guinness, Anchor Porter and premium Mexican beers like Bohemia and Negra Modelo giving beer drinkers of all types to find their groove. I settled in on the Odell IPA on this particular afternoon. The beer's clean malt, resin-y pine hops and bitterness to the finish amped the sweet heat of the citrus achiote pastor. On a warmer day, I may have chosen the malt rich Kilt Lifter or the more traditional Negra Modelo to balance the burrito spiciness. While I was there, several at the bar latched onto the Michelada, a preparation of tomato juice, lime, spices, hot pepper and beer. It's a fitting beer cocktail given the mostly burrito and all southwestern fare. Knowing Taz is an architect, I’d have to think that the very building figures into her equation. The red brick Ballroom was formerly the F.L. Hart Garage built in 1917. The east facing patio provides plenty of shade and large garage doors create a desirable indoor/outdoor feel. The front lounge is an ideal space for Phoenix living and the re-use of a nearly 100 year old building happens so seldom in the Valley that it’s natural for a beer drinker to celebrate with a tip of the pint. Cheers to the fourth Crescent!

Event Brings Bikes, Art, and Doing Good to Downtown Phoenix, April 20

The inaugural PEDAL CRAFT PHX rides into downtown Phoenix bringing together bicycles, art, and community to celebrate the city’s growing urban bike scene. The one night event will feature hundreds of bicyclists, a bicycle-themed poster show, a display of unique bicycle racks, and a ride to selected restaurants and bars in downtown Phoenix. PEDAL CRAFT PHX will take place on Friday, April 20, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Kitchen Sink Studios Gallery, 828 North Third Street. Admission is free. Twenty-five top local graphic designers will show their original bicycle-themed poster artwork for Third Friday festivities and through the month of April by appointment. According to Jon Ashcroft, PEDAL CRAFT PHX co-organizer and finalist for the Phoenix New Times 2012 Big Brain Awards, “Collectors from novice to seasoned will appreciate the caliber and affordability of the posters, museum quality giclee prints produced using acid free archival paper and ink. Each artist will have a hand numbered and signed edition of twenty prints available for sale for twenty dollars each.” [caption id="attachment_23577" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Event organizers Jon Ashcroft, Dorina Bustamante, Jonce Walker, Jeremy Stapleton, Nicole Underwood.

A percentage of the proceeds from the poster show will help fund a temporary “pop-up” park on the now vacant quarter-acre Ro2 Lot at 1005 North Second Street in the Roosevelt Row Arts District and Evans Churchill Neighborhood. “We have received significant community feedback about what could go on this vacant lot, and it is gratifying to see local bicycling enthusiasts help to support its transformation into a useful temporary infill project,” said Dorina Bustamante, Ro2 Lot project lead and PEDAL CRAFT PHX co-organizer.

SideWalk Phoenix, a newly formed advocacy group for walkable, bikeable, and livable communities, will display a dozen one-of-a-kind bicycle racks designed by local artists and metal sculptors. “Bike racks are unique. They have a practical function, but they can also be urban art,” said Nicole Underwood, co-founder of SideWalk Phoenix and a PEDAL CRAFT PHX co-organizer [Underwood also writes for DPJ]. “These metal structures – visual landmarks in front of our local businesses and public spaces – symbolize a city and its residents unifying through the freedom of bicycles.” Throughout the evening, bicyclists, walkers, and pedicab riders will be encouraged to visit downtown Phoenix restaurants that have installed bike racks and are offering special menu discounts for PEDAL CRAFT PHX participants. Jonce Walker, another co-organizer of PEDAL CRAFT PHX, stated, “Our evening ride is intended to create a swarm of bicyclists in downtown Phoenix to help bolster the local economy, convey the need for more bike infrastructure, and facilitate the exchange of friendly high-fives.” UPDATE The participating restaurants and bars include: The Lost Leaf, 914 N. 5th St.; The Roosevelt, 816 N. 3rd St.; Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. 2nd Ave.; Rose & Crown, 628 E. Adams St.; and The Arrogant Butcher, 2 E. Jefferson St., #150. For those who can't wait, here is a sneak peek of some of the posters submitted for the event.

It is really easy; there is so much accessibility. Where do you like to explore? Gosh, restaurants mainly. There are a bunch of different types in biking distance. Why do you choose to ride your bike around? Because parking is annoying and meters are so expensive. And it is good for the environment. How do you balance style with accessibility?

The D-backs then moved on to San Diego and opened the series with a win. The D-backs entered the game Wednesday as the only remaining undefeated team in the majors. Clinging to a one-run lead in the 8th inning, it looked as though the unbeaten streak may continue for another day. Unfortunately on this night the magic was on the side of the Padres as Chris Denorfia launched a game-winning two-run homer. The D-backs responded with a win on Thursday to claim the series victory. The D-backs suffered difficult losses in the first two games over the weekend in Colorado. On Friday night the Rockies battled back erasing a four-run deficit and ultimately came away with the victory. Saturday’s loss was even more difficult to swallow. The game was interrupted by a lengthy rain delay in the 4th inning. At the time the D-backs were trailing 5-1. After the delay the D-backs battled back and eventually took the lead and appeared headed to an impressive come-from-behind victory. With the D-backs leading by one with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, D-backs closer J.J. Putz squared off against D-back killer Todd Helton. Helton jumped on an inside pitch and blasted a majestic shot a mile high into the raindrops and night sky. The ball ended up soaring over the right-field wall just inside the foul pole. As Helton rounded the bases and the Rockies celebrated, the deflated D-backs knew they had let one slip away. Coming back out on Sunday afternoon and trying to avoid the sweep would be a difficult task after such a draining defeat. Fortunately, that’s exactly what they did. The D-backs got an early boost when Chris Young connected on a two-run shot in the first inning. The D-backs were able to maintain a comfortable lead behind a strong performance from starter Trevor Cahill. What’s coming up this week? It’s important for the D-backs to forget about the tough losses in Colorado and just focus on the task at hand. The D-backs play their next ten games at home, (starting with last night's 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates). After the three-game series with the Pirates, the Atlanta Braves will be in town for four games over the weekend, followed by a three-game series against the Phillies to close out the home stand. The D-backs begin the week with a 6-3 record. Slightly disappointing to drop a few winnable games, but that’s just the nature of the sport. Overall, there’s nothing wrong with being 6-3. That’s a great start for anyone. Early observations Chris Young is leading the team in home runs, RBIs and batting average. Obviously it’s great to get the early contributions from CY. Especially considering Justin Upton has gotten off to a relatively slow start. It’ll be interesting to see how long of a leash Kirk Gibson will give Josh Collmenter. Heading into the season many experts questioned whether Collmenter was a better option than many of the younger starters in the organization. After his first two starts, Collmenter has by far the highest ERA among starters. It may be too early in the season to start making changes and questioning decisions. Besides, numbers can easily get inflated in April. The Dodgers are off to an impressive 9-1 start. Meanwhile, it appears as though the Giants are facing life without closer Brian Wilson. He is dealing with elbow issues and is likely facing season-ending surgery.]]> 24164 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/18/wire-forest-service-kicks-neighborhood-forest-photo-contest/ Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:59:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24173 Some news items don’t need translation.

U.S. Forest Service kicks off My Neighborhood Forest photo contest, highlighting the colors of the urban forest. The U.S. Forest Service announced its My Neighborhood Forest photo contest, celebrating America’s urban and community forests. [caption id="attachment_24179" align="alignright" width="199" caption="A sample of the grand-prize goods"][/caption] The Grand Prize winner will receive $200 in outdoor gear courtesy of the National Forest Foundation. The contest, which runs through July 22, seeks to highlight the natural beauty that spring and summer bring to U.S. neighborhoods, communities and cities, as well as the crucial role of trees in the places we call home. Those interested in competing should visit urbanforest.challenge.gov for more details on the prizes and contest rules. Urban forests broadly include urban parks, street trees, landscaped boulevards, public gardens, river and coastal promenades, greenways, river corridors, wetlands, nature preserves, natural areas, shelter belts of trees and working trees at industrial brownfield sites. “Urban forests are different from the forests you might normally think of, but they are functioning, hard-working ecosystems just the same,” said Tidwell. “As our neighborhoods warm up, trees add a crucial element of beauty to the places where we live, learn and work. We hope this photo contest will encourage people to go outside this season, and maybe they’ll learn a little more about their own neighborhood forests in the process.” With 80 percent of the nation's population in urban areas, there are strong environmental, social, and economic cases to be made for the conservation of green spaces to guide growth and revitalize city centers and older suburbs. Urban forests, through planned connections of green spaces, form the green infrastructure system on which communities depend. This natural life support system sustains clean air and water, biodiversity, habitat, nesting and travel corridors for wildlife, and connects people to nature. The Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry office is actively engaged in more than 7,000 communities across the United States, providing technical, financial, research and educational services to local government, non-profit organizations, community groups, educational institutions and tribal governments. The mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Recreational activities on our lands contribute $14.5 billion annually to the U.S. economy. The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world. Founded by Congress in 1991, the National Forest Foundation works to conserve, restore and enhance America’s 193-million-acre National Forest System in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service. Through community-based strategies and public-private partnerships, the NFF enhances wildlife habitat, revitalizes wildfire-damaged landscapes, restores watersheds, and improves recreational resources for the benefit of all Americans. The NFF’s Treasured Landscapes, Unforgettable Experiences national conservation campaign is uniting public and private partners to conduct large-scale forest and watershed restoration and revitalize ecosystem resiliency in iconic National Forest System sites around the nation.]]> 24173 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/18/wire-phoenix-community-alliance-hosts-celebration-20-years-community-investment/ Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:48:53 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24186 Some news items don’t need translation.

The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC),  a 30-year-old national intermediary based in New York City, was invited in 1992 to open a Phoenix office.  One million dollars was raised locally by the Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) and matched by the national LISC office to be used for community development.  20 years later, that investment has exceeded $176.8 million and leveraged an additional $590.6 million, generating almost 6,000 affordable housing units and almost 300,000 sq. ft. of community facility space. “LISC is proud to bring private funding to the Valley to help take full advantage of the opportunities that are here, including leveraging the public infrastructure investment that brought us the Light Rail,” said Teresa Brice, LISC-Phoenix executive director. “LISC’s overall mission is to help develop sustainable communities using private funding to make direct investments or to help leverage funding.” Mo Stein, Chairman, commented “PCA is proud to have played a role in bringing a LISC program to Phoenix.  The return on Phoenix’s community investment in LISC has far exceeded our expectations!  More important, LISC ‘s Phoenix Program is more critical today than ever before.  The shifting dynamics of the housing market require LISC’s expertise in capacity building and developing partnerships that create quality affordable housing for our community.” PCA will welcome a group of community leaders to celebrate the 20th Anniversary event to a special event, “Community Investment – What is it worth?”  that will speak to how the community has benefited from their initial investment in the LISC Phoenix Program over the years.  The event will take place at the PCA Corporate Office today, April 18th from 4:30 to 6:00 pm.  All parties interested in leveraging community investment are welcome to attend. About LISC:
 The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) combines corporate, government and philanthropic resources to help revitalize distressed neighborhoods. LISC also assists in the development of new community opportunities. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary in Phoenix, LISC has brought millions of dollars to the development of sustainable communities. Since its founding in 1992 LISC Phoenix has:

• Provided over $176 million in direct investments and
• Over one-half billion dollars in leveraged funds which have supported the development of:
• Almost 6,000 housing units and
• Almost 300,000 square feet of non-residential space

About PCA: Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation and a collaboration of over 250 major business corporations allied with government, education, research, health & science, as well as arts & cultural organizations.  The organization, formed in 1983, is the major, private sector catalyst for the urban renaissance in Downtown Phoenix and the Central City.]]> 24186 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/19/festival-plans-11th-year-improvised-laughs/ Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:06:41 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24204 [/caption] It takes almost a whole year to coordinate the Phoenix Improv Festival, so it’s kind of funny that after all that planning, no one really knows what’s going to happen. Of course, the planners wouldn’t want it any other way, because after all, it’s improv – that unscripted, anything-goes style of theatre that famous names like Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Murray all have on their resumes. In its 11th year of celebrating the art of unpredictable comedy performance, the Phoenix Improv Fest takes the stage at Downtown Phoenix’s Herberger Theater Center over two nights on April 27th and 28th. Friday night will feature some of Phoenix’s best local improv talent and Saturday night will highlight national troupes from places like Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Minneapolis. According to José Gonzalez, local veteran improv actor, instructor, and one of the PIF coordinators, “It’s the event that we look forward to each year on the local level. It’s also a really great event that people are aware of on a national level, as well.” [caption id="attachment_24223" align="alignleft" width="195" caption="José Gonzalez. Photo by Xchel Hernandez-Zendejas."][/caption] While the Phoenix Improv Fest is a much-anticipated annual event, improv can also be found in Uptown every weekend at The Torch Theatre, Arizona’s only venue for long-form improv comedy. From a space that was once a barbershop at Central and Camelback, they offer live performances every Friday and Saturday night. Audiences can catch a variety of shows like the “Skewed News Hour,” which runs wild with headlines ripped from the day’s news and “The Revolver,” a rotating blend of local shows and teams. If you’re inspired to get on stage after witnessing the pros at these performances, you can sign up for improv workshops at The Torch Theatre, including a free drop-in workshop on Thursday, May 3rd. Complete class and performance listings are available on their website. Gonzalez, who performs and teaches at The Torch, has been there since its inception. He says it was important to establish the theatre in central Phoenix because it had the right vibe and because many of their graduates and students are members of the downtown arts scene. “We gravitated to downtown and Central Phoenix because there was so much potential and the city was gaining momentum as far as having the kind of people who want to go out and do things and who are really interested in doing fun and interesting things in the city.” Photos courtesy of The Torch Theatre.

The artists committed to supporting a good cause represent a range of styles and mediums, and the variety should make for a stimulating accompaniment to the liquid refreshments. Below is the first group of participating artists. Look for others to be revealed in the days to come. Carolyn Lavender The unifying themes in Carolyn Lavender’s work are generally organizational systems, such as the grid, with an interest in sequential process and a straightforward presentation of ideas and images. Right: Journal 27 (three bears)     Christopher Gerlings His drawings are based on existentialism, religion, pseudoscience, gender roles, death, discovery, and the dualistic nature of the human experience in the 21st century. Right: Momento Mori         Emily Costello Emily Costello finds much of her inspiration from her Mexican heritage and its cultural icons and images:  Luchadores (Mexican wrestlers), Mexican folk heros, sacred heart, Loteria (Mexican bingo), Frida Kahlo and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) are abundant in her work. Right: Vida       Sal Cosenza Sal Cosenza is a recent graduate of Arizona State University with a BSD in Architectural Studies.  Born in 1988 in Scottsdale, Arizona, he has a particular fascination with New York subjects. Right: Domestic NY- Caught In The Act   Deborah McMillion Nering Deborah’s art reflects the era that has always meant the most to her: The 1950s - a time where anything can happen. Right: Mid-Century Modern Genii         Zach Stelling At first glance, his work is dominated by basic shapes and bright colors. Upon further inspection, realistic faces and subtle colors draw the viewer into a more complex situation that provokes unexpected thought and emotion.

However, the energy on stage and in the crowd betrayed the fact that Coachella had ended at all -- Hannah Hooper even said to a beaming-with-pride PHX crowd, "So we just got done with this crazy thing called Coachella...but seriously guys, it's places and shows like this that we love." Atmosphere: Like a music festival's after-party. Hot, sweaty, and I hadn't yet seen the venue as packed and energetic as it was last night. There were undeniably a small group of die hard fans that had been to Coachella (probably both weekends) and seen both Givers and Grouplove there. The crowd was also much younger than the Crescent's norm -- the show was 16+, and I'd say the age range capped off at about 25. Except for the 40-something guy dancing his long, curly hair off in front of me. The young crowd fed off the energy from the bands, with most kids dancing or at least singing along the whole show. Givers were the most animated band I'd seen on the Crescent's stage so far -- until Grouplove came on. [caption id="attachment_24425" align="alignright" width="322" caption="Givers bassist Josh LeBlanc giving the crowd a chance to participate in the percussion."][/caption] Opening Act: Company of Thieves, Givers. Opening Song: Although they took the stage not to their own song, but to the intro of Kanye West and company's track "Monster," Grouplove started their set off with "Lovely Cup." Closing Song: After re-taking the stage for the encore, they played the radio-friendly "Tongue Tied," which lead singer Christian Zucconi transitioned seamlessly into a short rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and finally finishing with "Colours." Favorite Song: Slow. Hooper's vocals were hauntingly, painfully beautiful, and drummer Ryan Rabin absolutely killed the drum solo, entrancing the crowd and eliciting a well-deserved cheer at the end. What the band wore: Givers wore an assortment of plaid button downs, v-necks, and screen-printed T-shirts. Grouplove were more classic hippy than hipster with their fashion, with Zucconi in a flow-y floral button down, and Hooper in a breathy green patterned dress and kick-ass studded black short boots. Rabin took the prize for most unique, however, in a tank top, black leggings, and tall, patterned socks with -- I think -- bears on them. (It looked like the bear from California's state flag, but it was too hard for me to tell.) What the crowd wore: Lots of tank tops all around, on both the guys and girls. I spotted quite a few Coachella wristbands still on the wrists of the crowd as they waved their hands and danced. Band's Drink of Choice for the Evening: Nothing. I can't even remember seeing them take a sip of water the whole set. Blogger's Drink of Choice for the Evening: Stella Artois.

KIND Healthy Snacks started up in 2004, and the company’s marketing team just stepped into the city with a stylish food truck and a whole lot of free samples. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to stop by the truck and try out some delicious snack bars and the new KIND granola products. Field marketing manager Marguerite Singson said the goals of KIND go beyond simply selling snack bars. “We hope for a greater awareness of not just our products, but of health,” Singson said. “We don’t want everyone to necessarily buy a KIND bar—although that would be great—we want to educate them and let them know that healthy snack options are available out there.” The KIND team also advocates for spreading kindness through both small acts and large. According to Singson, for “KIND Tuesday” on April 3, the company challenged people across the nation to send thank you notes to educators, mentors or teachers. Because enough people completed the mission, KIND will donate new textbooks to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital for patients who cannot attend school due to illnesses. Singson said the company plans to drop off the new books at the hospital on tomorrow, April 27, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. “The whole idea behind KIND is that we want to make it meaningful, so we partner with like-minded companies that are in tune with what we focus on, such as health and wellness,” Singson said. Not only does it spread acts of kindness, but the company also provides the nation with nutritious snacks that are especially desired by the “foodie” crowd. Rather than a long list of complicated ingredients, KIND snacks contain all-natural, nutritious products that consumers can easily pronounce. Singson said people love the fact the company uses “real food.” “There are a lot of energy bars or snack bars with tons of added ingredients, and people don’t really know what they’re eating,” Singson added. “Our first ingredients are always fruits and nuts, not some kind of sugar or filler, providing quality products.” Because numerous Phoenix residents already rave about KIND products, Singson said the food truck decided to tour in the city to introduce some new delicious flavors and products. “And of course,” she added, “To spread kindness.” Cindy Gentry, executive director of Community Food Connections, the nonprofit that runs the Phoenix Public Market, said she plans to do more with the KIND marketing team in the future, such as partner up for tasting events and even pair the bars with different types of wine to sample. “The team is absolutely as fun as could be, and as nice as could be,” Gentry added. “They are high-energy people who give out a healthy product, and it has been great having them.” The truck already made some appearances throughout the downtown area, and it plans to park its wheels at various upcoming events, including Come Play with Yelp at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix today from 6 to 10 p.m., and Food Truck Fridays at the Phoenix Public Market, 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.  ]]> 24486 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/27/wire-fox-open-second-culinary-dropout-7th-street/ Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:25:24 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24506 Some news items don’t need translation.

Fox Restaurant Concepts Second Culinary Dropout and New Fish House & Oyster Bar Coming Soon Central Phoenix Mixed-Used Development to Open Late Fall Spearheaded by Fox Restaurant Concepts, an indoor/outdoor urban dining and lounging hub is scheduled to open late Fall in the heart of Central Phoenix. Housed in a former auto and motorcycle dealership known for its iconic steel shade structure, the multi-use space will share a large park-like outdoor recreation area and beer garden and will be anchored by Fox Restaurant Concepts’ second Culinary Dropout and a new fish house and oyster bar. The development will also include a local coffee shop and two retail spaces, which will be operated by other local companies. [caption id="attachment_24508" align="aligncenter" width="596" caption="The new spot will reportedly offer a park-like area for guests to gather under this shade structure."][/caption]

Utilizing the existing building and parking cover from the former dealership, Fox Restaurant Concepts and WDP Partners are revitalizing the neighborhood by creating a community gathering spot. Constructing a destination unlike anything in Phoenix, the vacant building will be turned into a functional, hip space that is sure to be the go to place for dining and lounging. WDP Partners and Fox Restaurant Concepts goal is to repurpose the current structures as much as possible.  The area underneath the massive shade structure will be converted into a climate-controlled, landscaped recreation lawn where guests can dine outdoors, sip on coffee or cocktails, play outdoor games such as bocce ball, and listen to live music.

According to Fox Restaurant Concepts Founder and CEO, Sam Fox, “We were drawn to working on this project because of our ability to use as much of the current structures and create a park-like space in the middle of a very urban setting. Making the development even more appealing, there is enough space to create more than 100 onsite parking spots which is rare in new urban development.” Serving as the anchor for the project will be Fox Restaurant Concepts second Culinary Dropout – a casual, chef driven gastro pub featuring craft cocktails and eclectic pub fare perfect for late-night diners.  The restaurant will take advantage of the open air, garage feel, including large floor to ceiling roll-back doors, which will open onto the outdoor recreation area and beer garden. In addition to Culinary Dropout, Fox Restaurant Concepts will also be creating a soon to be named fish house and oyster bar.  The new seafood concept will have a Brooklyn like vibe and be reminiscent of an old urban seafood shack. The restaurant will serve a raw bar focused menu, in addition to comfort food such as chowders, fish and chips, and po-boys. From the raw bar, order fresh seafood such as prawns, razor clams, and oysters flown in daily.

Wade Miley made a spot start on Monday night against the Phillies, filling in for injured starter Daniel Hudson. Miley got the win, allowing only two hits in six shutout innings. Miley will likely make at least one more start while Hudson is out and would be a potential replacement for Josh Collmenter if his early season struggles continue. Justin Upton has continued to play through a nagging thumb injury that’s at least partially to blame for his relatively slow start. Upton finally tallied his first homer of the season this week and appears to be getting healthier each day. The D-backs clearly need his bat to warm up, especially while Chris Young is out of the lineup. [caption id="attachment_24520" align="aligncenter" width="546" caption="Uptown showed signs of recovery with recent homer. Photo courtesy of Arizona Diamondbacks."][/caption] Kubel proving to be valuable addition When the D-backs announced the signing of Jason Kubel in the off season, skeptics questioned if the move was a mistake. The D-backs already appeared to be set at outfield prior to making the move and signing Kubel likely meant sending Gerardo Parra, fresh off his first Gold Glove season, to a platoon role. It appeared as though the organization had made a decision to sacrifice some defense for an increase in offensive potential. So far, Kubel has exceeded expectations defensively. He leads the majors with five outfield assists and has also started to produce offensively after a slow start. Kubel is currently riding a 10-game hitting streak. D-backs bit by the injury bug The increase in outfield depth came into play way sooner than anticipated when Chris Young landed on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder injury. Depth at starting pitcher has been tested as well with Daniel Hudson on the DL. Last season the D-backs were lucky to stay relatively healthy throughout the season. With the exception of losing Stephen Drew partway through the season. If April is any indication, this season will be a different story.]]> 24519 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/05/01/wire-local-fastsigns-owner-undercover-boss/ Tue, 01 May 2012 21:35:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24532 Some news items don’t need translation.

PHOENIX FASTSIGNS® TO BE FEATURED ON CBS’S HIT SERIES “UNDERCOVER BOSS” Franchise Owner Inspired CEO with Two Important “Signs” While in Valley Scott Koehler, who has owned a local franchise of FASTSIGNS® for 10 ½ years, will be featured in the FASTSIGNS® episode of CBS’s hit series “Undercover Boss,” Friday, May 4th from 7:00-8:00pm. On Friday, there will be an open house from 2:00pm-6:30pm with refreshments & door prizes at the FASTSIGNS® store located at 2517 N. Central Avenue in Phoenix. Then the “viewing” party will be across the street at The Fairfield Inn & Suites, 2520 N. Central Ave., to celebrate with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres, starting at 6pm. For more information call 602-266-7446. Each week, the two-time Emmy Award-nominated  “Undercover Boss” follows a different executive as they leave the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their companies. While working alongside their employees, they see the effects that their decisions have on others, where the problems lie within their organizations and get an up-close look at both the good and the bad while discovering the unsung heroes who make their companies run. Catherine Monson, CEO of FASTSIGNS® received two important “signs” while on her undercover trip to the Valley. The first was on the job site with Scott. “I was impressed the moment we arrived seeing the magnitude of the project,” states Monson. “It was an impressive and difficult exterior install three stories up. Not a typical FASTSIGNS® project” “ It was exhilarating to work with Scott and I asked him how he knew how to do this type of install and his reply was that ‘he learned how to do it on his own’.” “I realized that corporate needed to provide this training and they will integrate it into the corporate franchise training program starting mid-summer of this year.” [caption id="attachment_24586" align="aligncenter" width="628" caption="FASTSIGNS® CEO Catherine Monson in hydraulic lift with franchisee owner Scott Koehler ready for exterior sign install."][/caption] The second “sign” about how Scott was as a business owner dealing with business and life challenges. She learned his wife has multiple sclerosis and due to chemotherapy treatments is unable to conceive. They were turned down by the first adoption agency they went to. Then Scott was diagnosed with bladder cancer and had two surgeries. An introduction by a friend enabled them to adopt a newborn baby girl. His cancer returned and he made the decision to have his bladder removed. At the end of 2008 business was down 35-40% with light rail construction in front of his location and then the recession. He had to downsize, no vacations and put in extra hours, yet has persevered with a positive attitude.

“I know too many people in life that don’t have the challenges he has and they complain. Scott is positive and full of gratitude,” states Monson. “I collect positive quotes and Scott exudes inspiration.” “His outlook on life motivated me to create an award in his honor that will be given out at our annual corporate event.”

“I am a positive person. I see no point in being negative. Negative people tend to get negative results. Positive people at least have an opportunity for a positive result.” states Koehler. “I am blessed to be alive and I have a wonderful family. I enjoy my business and being a part of this show and the rewards I have received from Catherine and FASTSIGNS® International are incredible!” To find out what rewards Scott received, you will have to watch the show on Friday, May 4th at 7pm. Come join us in the fun of the reveal!]]> 24532 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/04/30/wire-hotel-palomar-phoenix-cityscape-opens-summer/ Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:24:13 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24535 Some news items don’t need translation.

KIMPTON’S HOTEL PALOMAR PHOENIX AT CITYSCAPE OPENS THIS SUMMER; BRINGS NEW ENERGY TO DOWNTOWN New boutique hotel will usher in creative, personalized experience to the heart of the city Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Phoenix at CityScape will open its doors on June 5, 2012  in the heart of downtown Phoenix, marking the completion of the highly-anticipated development project, CityScape Phoenix.  The hotel, just steps from major sports arenas, entertainment venues and cultural attractions, will add 242 spacious and contemporary guest rooms and suites and more than 10,000 square feet of stylish, flexible meeting space to the city's lineup and will bring even more energy to the downtown Phoenix area. [caption id="attachment_24537" align="aligncenter" width="520" caption="A painting by Phoenix artist John Randall Nelson is prominently featured in this guestroom. Photo by John Ellis, courtesy of Hotel Palomar."][/caption] Situated at the heart of CityScape, a $500 million mixed-used development of shops, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and offices, the completion of Hotel Palomar Phoenix will be the final step in the six-year process undertaken by Phoenix-based RED Development in partnership with the City of Phoenix. “We’re excited to introduce Kimpton’s signature hospitality to this new and vibrant downtown Phoenix,” said Jim Hollister, general manager of Hotel Palomar Phoenix.  “We think it’s a perfect complement to the energy of the area and we know our guests will enjoy the warm welcome, modern amenities, and a sleek and artful aesthetic of the hotel, not to mention the easy access to incredible entertainment venues, restaurants and bars and shops.”

Inspired by the contemporary vibe of the surrounding urban landscape, Hotel Palomar Phoenix is the second hotel in the Greater Phoenix area for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, which entered the market in 2005 with the FireSky Resort & Spa in Scottsdale. Located in the mixed-use development of CityScape, the newly built Hotel Palomar Phoenix enjoys a prime location across from Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks) and US Airways Center (event hub and home of the Phoenix Suns), proximity to the light rail and much more.

Entering from the ground-floor entrance, Hotel Palomar Phoenix guests will leave the world behind as they ascend to the second-floor living room lobby. There, they can relax in the casual, conversational seating beside the fireplace - an ideal atmosphere for working, lounging and enjoying Kimpton’s signature daily hosted wine hour. The destination's interior design scheme - from the public and event spaces to the guest rooms and suites - embodies a relaxed sophistication that is modern while reflecting Arizona's casual approach. While the overall feel is stylish and laid-back, the hotel's desert-infused color palette features a nod to the energetic undercurrent of its CityScape and downtown Phoenix surroundings with its pops of orange, its signature accent color. Design and décor elements that use bright spots of color, lines that create a sense of movement and light-hearted artistic touches also help to bring the hotel's ‘Art in Motion’ theme to life. Adjacent to the hotel lobby, The Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails features contemporary American gastro lounge cuisine for lunch, dinner and late-night bites, and a blazing cocktail program that raises the bar for drink culture in the city's urban core. Additionally, guests will be drawn to the hotel’s third-floor terrace with its open-air swimming pool and al fresco Lustre Bar, which provides a spectacular perch above the bustle of the city, perfect for admiring views of the downtown. Hotel Palomar Phoenix's third floor also includes a stretch of more than 10,000 square feet of art-infused meeting space across 10 event rooms, each offering picture windows that usher light in and capture city and mountain views. Event rooms range from the 3,100-square-foot Dreamcatcher Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 250 guests, to the 600-square-foot Rangoli Board Room, designed for up to 10 guests. State-of-the-art connectivity provided through wireless Internet access and comprehensive multi-media and audio-visual support make meetings and events hassle-free. [caption id="attachment_24539" align="aligncenter" width="519" caption="Guestroom photo by John Ellis, courtesy of Hotel Palomar."][/caption]

On the higher floors, 242 well-appointed guest rooms, including 16 suites, are washed in warm, earthy shades of Arizona and accented by small, thoughtful bursts of color. Whimsy finds its place with signature artwork such as Phoenix artist John Randall Nelson’s acrylic on canvas featuring a vibrant blue face of a long-horned steer or the green felt bird sculpture perched on the bedroom wall.  All rooms offer a wide range of modern amenities including 37-inch flat-screen TVs , complimentary wireless Internet access, an honor bar with locally  inspired and organic items, custom Etro designer bath products, in-room yoga and On Demand fitness classes, and Kimpton’s signature animal print robes.

Jeff Moloznik, general manager of CityScape, has seen the city’s excitement grow as Hotel Palomar Phoenix nears completion. “I can't overemphasize the profound impact this hotel will have on CityScape, our retailers and the downtown traffic generators like US Airways, Chase Field and the Convention Center,” Moloznik said. “Palomar will ignite a 24-hour energy into CityScape and offer hotel guests a never-before-experienced proximity to the area's sporting, cultural and music venues along with dining, nightlife, shopping and entertainment - all within steps of their hotel room door." Hotel Palomar Phoenix at CityScape was designed by global architecture and design firm Callison. Interiors have been created by Los Angeles-based KNA Design and the project is being built by Hunt Construction Group. Hotel Palomar Phoenix is located at 2 E. Jefferson Street, Phoenix, Ariz. 85004.

For ASU’s downtown Disability Resource Director Deborah Taska, helping these students is her passion. Deborah Taska is celebrating her five-year tenure as director of ASU’s Disability Resource Center in downtown Phoenix. Taska organizes events and makes sure students get the right accommodations for their classes. Accommodations include extended time on tests and assigned note takers for classes, but Taska goes further. She focuses on the future state of students with disabilities. “It’s my job to think outside the box,” Taska said. “Students become the strongest advocates with faculty, creating a great partnership.” When the downtown campus opened in 2006, Taska became the director of their disability center. When the center opened, 99 students registered with accommodations. Today, 467 students are currently registered with the downtown campus’s center. As excited Taska is about the development, she’s even more pleased when these students can succeed without accommodations. “There are a number of students that don’t always need accommodations,” Taska said. “They can select faculty and classes that can appeal to their style. It comes down to each semester.” Taska’s journey did not begin with working in disability education. She graduated from Pennsylvania’s Shippensburg University with a degree in elementary education. But her path didn’t start off quite the way she hoped. “My first assignment was a boarding school for students with parents serving in Vietnam, and that planted the seed for me,” Taska said. “I then took a job at a high school for students with learning disabilities, and I met creative, diverse, confident kids.” That job inspired her to go back to college. Taska got her master’s degree in higher learning and specific learning disabilities from Southern Illinois University. Her degree brought her to ASU in 1985, where she was the Program Coordinator for the Tempe Campus. She developed and provided programs to help faculty with students. Taska’s performance led her to taking charge at the downtown Phoenix campus in 2006. Lance Harrop, the assistant director of the DRC, mostly works with students on a day-to-day basis, but he credits Taska for making his job easier. Their partnership makes the working environment better for both co-workers and students. Taska greets her students with a warm smile and takes the time to get to know each registered student. She asks each one how they are doing personally and academically. Taska wants more students to take charge, create events, and to join the fledgling Ability Counts Downtown group. Their established groups in the Tempe and West campuses promote disability awareness to their campuses and communities, and the downtown branch is trying accomplish the same goal.  Their president, Elizabeth Vaughn, believes the DRC has done everything it can to help. But Vaughn, a junior studying social work, knows it isn’t easy. “Ability Counts Downtown is going slowly, not much further than last year,” Vaughn said. “They want to get it further, but students don’t seem to want to do anything with it.” Taska understands it’s difficult to form a group when students are focused on other interests, but she continues supporting the group as is grows. “Deb is amazing not only personally, but she exemplifies what all collegiate staff should be,” Harrop said. “She makes it easier because she’s so good at what she does, ensuring students success, access and accommodations.” Students registered with the downtown campus agree with Harrop. Vaughn believes Taska does a great job helping her at ASU. “Awareness is a constant thing that needs to improve,” Vaughn said. “She does it well and helps me with networking in different disability areas.” Taska created a strong partnership between students with disabilities and their professors. Under her guidance, downtown students with disabilities have the means to succeed.  Thanks to her leadership, the DRC is showing no signs of slowing down.]]> 24607 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/05/04/friday-map/ Sat, 05 May 2012 01:02:09 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24613 the first time around now is the time to check it out in person.

The Urban Grocery and Wine Bar, run by the non-profit Community Food Connections (CFC), will be closing its doors to the public at the close of business May 12th at 5 pm. The outdoor Phoenix Public Market will continue to run every Wednesday (4-8 pm), Saturday (8 am-12 pm) and Food Truck Fridays for lunch. Royal Coffee will also remain open and continue to operate during their normal hours. Following is a statement from Dan Klocke, Board President, Community Food Connections: "For the last 2.5 years, the Urban Grocery has been the only grocery store in downtown which also supports many small, diverse and local businesses. The outdoor market will continue that mission of supporting small farmers and businesses while creating a great community gathering place for the 100,000 people that came during the last year. I also want to personally thank our landlord and the City of Phoenix. Both have gone above and beyond in their support of this community project." "Additionally, Cindy Gentry has resigned as executive director of Community Food Connections. In my entire career I have honestly never met anyone so dedicated to the community and the mission of an organization. Her contribution to this community and downtown in particular has been amazing and she will be sorely missed. In the meantime the board of directors will continue the outdoor market with help from people already involved in running it on a weekly basis. Like any business there are risks with opening your doors and sometimes it just does not work out. It can be particularly difficult when it is such a community based business. However, I want everyone to keep the faith because the outdoor market is doing great." "Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years and please come visit us at the Phoenix Public Market every Wednesday and Saturday."

This global battle-of-the-bands started with 18,000 groups from around the world -- and The Alchemy Heart made it all the way to the top ten. Winners were determined each round by judges or by Facebook votes from fans, and the grand prize is a chance to perform in London with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, among others. DPJ music blogger Erin Bartynski sat down with three of the six members (Israel Whittermore, vocals/guitar, Brian Whitman, producer/keyboard/guitar, and Tim Rahman, drums) over a pistachio-and-onion (the "Rosa") pizza at Pane Bianco, to talk about the up-and-coming band, the competition, and their take on the Phoenix music scene.

About The Alchemy Heart

  DPJ: Tell me about The Alchemy Heart. Online, you have the same bio on everything -- your Twitter, your Facebook page, your Reverb Nation website -- Brian Whitman: What is our bio? What does it say? Tim Rahman: Yes, please, read the bio. Israel Whittermore: (Laughing) Great you guys, we look real professional already. While pulling out his iPhone and searching the web, he explained he and band member Josh came up with it while writing music together over Skype. He was in Phoenix, and Josh was in Kansas for school. Then he read the bio out loud: "A few guys who dream of playing music that changes someone's life, if only for a second. We want to create something that is hopefully honest, a little original and simply honey to the ears." The idea was, you’ve been in these moments, whether it’s music or whatever inspires you, where it feels like everything just comes together, If you’re watching an artist, it's like, this is what they were made for. So that’s the idea behind the bio: we want to create those moments. Brian: Aw, that's beautiful. I'm inspired. DPJ: How did the band get started? Israel: We all, throughout the years, have played together in one way or another, whether it was in church functions or in other bands or just writing together. Josh and I have known each other a long time -- he's from here -- and it kinda worked out where he left (for school in Kansas) and that’s when we decided to start doing stuff. He comes back for big performances. Brian: I was initially just the producer, and then I started to play keys a little bit at the shows that Josh couldn't make it to. DPJ: How long has the band been together? Israel: We played a show in June last year together at this little dive bar, and it was good, we got a lot of positive feedback. Our first official show was at the Hard Rock here (in downtown Phoenix) on August 27^th 2011. That was a big show,  we sold out the Hard Rock... Tim: Yeah, Israel has a lot of friends. Israel: ...but because of the distance thing, we've only played five shows together since. DPJ: So what should your fans know about you that isn't in The Alchemy Heart's bio? Brian: I think the cool thing about The Alchemy Heart is...obviously it’s driven by Israel. He’s the primary song writer, but everyone who comes and plays in the band..we were already pretty much friends to begin with. So it wasn't like trying to hire guys out, [but] more like asking your friends to play with you. Which is maybe why it’s so enjoyable. Tim: I think the reason it works is because we all musically had the same background (playing church music), so we all approached music from the same vantage point, as far as what works and energy and all that kind of stuff. We all came in and put our on spin on it, but it all generally worked together just cause we kind of approached it similarly. We didn’t have any rough moments. Israel: I’ve always felt like its easier to work with musicians if you can just trust them from the beginning, so for me, even though they’re songs that I’ve written, I’ve never felt worried. Like, Tim is an amazing drummer so I just know Tim's gonna do it, he’s gonna feel it, he’s gonna hear it, and it’s the same way with Brian and it’s the same with Alex. I trust it’s gonna work. They’re all incredibly talented guys. I’ve always said the way you make yourself look good is to surround yourself with better people... Tim: Better looking people. Israel: ...and to be able to go, "I don’t know if that works,” or “Let's try this instead,” and no one feels like you're going to hurt someone's feelings. Tim: Everyone in the band is individually really talented. So everybody has nothing to prove. Brian: We take it seriously but we also just like to play. And we’d like to play in London.

The Hard Rock Rising Competition

  DPJ: Speaking of London, how did you guys initially hear about the competition? Israel: We had played the Hard Rock before, so one of the managers had emailed me. Also, IAMWE, the band who took second place last year are also from here, and one of them had said it would be a great opportunity for us to maybe get some exposure. DPJ: So once you made it past the live performance battle rounds at the Hard Rock Cafe with the judges, it was up to Facebook voters to put you in the top ten. How did you encourage people to vote for you? Brian: (Laughing) We literally harassed people. The last couple of hours we literally called people on the phone walking them through with a laptop, having them log in to Facebook and vote. Israel: After the first week it was not looking good, we were getting destroyed and were thousands of votes behind. But then we realized, the only thing standing between us and the guys who judge this final round is basically us. It really came down to how bad do we want it and what does it take to start getting votes. So we sent out like 22,000 emails, Facebook messages, tweets, all of the above. Tim: The day when we really started coming back in the running, I remember getting some really frantic texts from Israel. He was losing his mind, saying “Oh my God guys, oh my God guys, it's down to only a couple hundred, do what you have to, anything goes!” Israel: I went to the hard rock at 5:30 p.m. and was literally standing on a table, and it was packed because of the diamondbacks game, and they gave me a microphone and I started explaining, this is the deal, this is how close we are, we could be one of ten bands in the world to have this opportunity. And that’s when we started calling everyone. My sister was even like, "I’ve had 10 people tell me to vote for your band. It's my brother, of course I’ve voted for him!" In four days, we went from 52nd to 7th. We ended up in 8th place. Brian: I just remember telling Israel when we got in the top ten, you know what, now, I don’t mind if we don’t win. Because it’s judged on musicianship and it’s not just internet votes, so if we don’t win it’s kind of because of who we are and that it wasn’t what they were looking for. We can almost lose with dignity now. Unfortunately, The Alchemy Heart did not win the trip and performance in London. However, you can catch them at the Sail Inn on Friday May 11 for their CD release party. Doors are at 8 p.m., and the boys from The Alchemy Heart will be joined by other local bands The Cold Desert, IAMWE, Dr. Bones, The Buxtons, and Future Loves Past. The day after the announcement was made, Israel emailed us the band's reaction: As far as the Hard Rock Calling competition goes, obviously we are bummed. However, from the beginning we always felt that we would give our best and have no regrets. It has been an incredible, crazy and sometimes anxious journey and we have learned a lot, we have connected and met some great people and more people have heard our music because of it. So we can't complain. Now we our just looking towards the release party and then we will see what happens after that!

On Downtown Phoenix: Favorite Spots and the Local Music Scene

  DPJ: What's your favorite downtown Phoenix hangout, since you all live and work around downtown and central Phoenix? Brian: I like Cibo, it's probably my favorite restaurant to just go and enjoy a night. Tim: Thai Basil - I was just there today, I had panang! Israel: We hit up Seamus McCaffrey's quite a bit. We like Irish and British pubs Brian: If you ever wanna find The Alchemy heart, check Hazelwoods. Or Rose and McCaffery's. DPJ: What do you think about the scene in downtown Phoenix these days? Brian: Phoenix the past year or so has really just exploded with people and viability, it’s not just First Fridays that people go out for anymore, there’s people out all the time now which is great. Israel: The funny thing is, we’d go to Austin for a festival or Chicago for a festival and we’d look around and wonder, why doesn’t Phoenix have this culture? It’s not the people, people want it. Literally in the last couple years we’ve seen downtown and even Tempe change some, and it's bringing out a lot of good musicians over the last year. I feel like I’ve seen this Phoenix music scene really kind of blossom, where all of a sudden it’s like, 'woah those guys are local?' So that’s been great.]]> 24631 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/05/08/bike-chic-sherrie-gallagher/ Tue, 08 May 2012 14:48:28 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24667 Bike Chic is a DPJ series by Fashion intern, Cortney Kaminski.

The food, and the cute and little 'mom and pop' type restaurants; the ones that aren't chains. Where do you like to explore? I love the open view at Giant Coffee and riding over to the library. I love going to the D-backs and Suns games. Why do you choose to ride your bike around? Because then I don't have to pay for metered parking and I can get a tan while I am riding! What is the biggest plus in riding a bike rather than driving? I don't have to worry about having a few drinks then getting home.

Grand themes are intelligently and passionately discussed: generational conflict, the meaning of color, the power of non-representational painting to seep into the unconscious, art history debated and lived through in a way that kept me spellbound, and random acts of gratuitous carnage. Art still had revolutionary potential to Rothko’s generation. A tale well told. It originated in London in 2009, the production captured six Tonys on Broadway in 2010, and different productions were seen Saturday night in four different cities – Berkeley, CA, Hartford, CT, Phoenix, AZ and Dunedin, NZ. Phoenix’s entry is a production of Seattle Repertory Company, a worthy partner. Two quibbles about it, though. At one point the sound technician forgot to lower the music volume as Rothko (played competently by Denis Arndt in his Phoenix debut) began a soliloquy. Arndt had to repeat his opening line several times before the music came down. Voices are not amplified, and neither actor consistently projects his voice clearly deep into the balcony seating. So if you go, stay in the orchestra.

Eighth Annual Certified Local Fall Festival Is On The Move! New Downtown Phoenix location allows more space to showcase local business Phoenix, Arizona After seven amazing years at the Duck & Decanter’s Camelback location, Local First Arizona’s annual festival of all things local will move to Downtown Phoenix’s Portland Place, a mini-park located on Portland Street between Third and Central Avenues. This beautiful green space will allow the Certified Local Fall Festival to better accommodate the many local businesses who want to be a part of the Festival as well as allow more room for attendees to stroll, shop, eat and be entertained in a unique urban setting. The Festival will be held on Saturday, November 10 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. This transition is a big move for Local First Arizona and is indicative of the rapid growth of the organization. “The Mettlers, who own the Duck and Decanter, are like family to us - they have been with us through thick and thin and they are helping us with this transition because we have just outgrown the space at our old location. They are outstanding event organizers and we are so lucky to still have them with us,” explained Kimber Lanning, Director of Local First. “We fully expect to have the same vibe, but this will allow us to include more food, more retail, more local beers and wines - it will just be the next step for us to grow an already successful event.” Voted “Best Free Festival” in 2011’s New Times Best Of Phoenix awards, this family-friendly festival has a street fair atmosphere and has drawn upwards of 6,000 attendees in past years. The event is open to the public and will offer a variety of local businesses, restaurants, live music and children’s activities. Previous vendors include a variety of businesses that are unique to Arizona like Bookmans, Practical Art, Zia Records, Frances Boutique, Smeeks Candy Shop, Kidstop Toys, Pink House Boutique, Strawberry Hedgehog, Desert Song Yoga, Noble Beast Pet Boutique, Hubbard Family Swim School, Postino, Spinato’s Pizza, The Parlor, St. Francis, Urban Cookies, America’s Taco Shop, Changing Hands Bookstore, and Green New American Vegetarian. This year’s event will add a food truck court, an expanded beer and wine garden and more fun arts, crafts and games for kids. Live music will be provided by Arizona musicians and the first 500 attendees will receive gift bags. A raffle and silent auction will raise funds for Local First and will include stay-cation packages from around the state, free dinners and tickets to Valley-wide events. The event historically has been a great place to get a jump start on holiday shopping, while attendees can enjoy some of the Valley’s best restaurants, breweries and wineries. Bring the whole family, there’s something for everyone! Event Details What: 8th Annual Certified Local Fall Festival presented by Local First Arizona When: Saturday, November 10, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Where: Portland Place, on Portland Street between Third and Central Avenues, Downtown Phoenix Cost: Free to attend.

I may be one of the few people to notice the mural on the side of the Phoenix Public Market well before the announcement that the indoor market would be closing. The mural depicts a market at the center of a community in the process of rebuilding itself. The market bears a liquor sign with an impossibly ambitious 24 hour sign (currently not legal in AZ or most anyplace for that matter). Phoenix Public Market's Urban Grocery never was a liquor store, but it did have the best selection of local beer and wine in all of downtown. The market featured about 2 dozen Arizona produced bottles and cans of beer as well as a few regional craft beers. The outdoor market will live on. Some have pointed out that it was never a full-service grocer. Others have noted that there are other local gathering places that fulfill the market’s third place qualities. There may be far more important reasons to note the market’s passing. Your Downtown Beer seeks to work on the practical: “Where does one go to buy packaged quality beer in Downtown Phoenix now that the Phoenix Public Market's Grocery is closed?” Downtown Phoenix has good beer available. We’ve established that. If you think about the many dozens of restaurants and beer bars with tapped beers (Copper Blues has over 60 alone) and you add in the extensive bottle list at the Lost Leaf (over 150) you’re looking at hundreds of beer choices, but it’s not as simple as that. All of those places have on-premise licenses -- you have to drink it there, you can’t take it with you. When it comes to “beer to go” I can’t resist but make the analogy, “Beer, beer everywhere, but not a drop to take.” Remembering that Chloe’s Corner took over the Oakville Grocery space and assumed the beer and wine store license, I headed over to Cityscape to see what might be available. To my dismay, Chloe’s was closed for a private event and I was literally shooed away. I couldn’t even press my nose to the glass windows to see what might be available. Rest assured, Chloe. I will be back. [caption id="attachment_24828" align="alignleft" width="239" caption="The Lone Arrogant Bastard"][/caption] Undeterred I popped into CVS and saw several 24 oz cans that are normally seen in slim brown paper bags. A lone Arrogant Bastard bottle mocked me as if it had consumed all of the other beers that might have been in the cooler. Stone Arrogant Bastard is a great beer, but we can do better. We want our locals too. With many things downtown, you have to know where to go and you may have to widen your search perimeter. Thomas Market Liquor on Thomas and 3rd Avenue fits all of my downtown beer requirements. It has a knowledgeable staff. There are several cooler doors full of regional craft beers as well as fine imports. There is even an entire door filled with beers brewed in Arizona. The beer geek in me noted that the code on an empty shelf indicated there once was bottles Deschutes Dissident. Thomas Market Liquor is just a shade over two miles from the Phoenix Public Market -- a short light rail trip or a 15-minute bicycle ride. [caption id="attachment_24831" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Thomas Market Liquor's local beer selection"][/caption] I settled on a Dogfish Head Theobroma. It’s an ale based upon an ancient Meso-American beer recipe containing cocoa, honey, chilies and annatto. The chiles and spice are a perfect complement a savory pork dish or a dessert with chocolate. Fortunately, we may be on the verge of a breakthrough when it comes to packaged beer. The Arizona State legislature made a change to Title 4 of the Arizona Revised Statutes that will go into effect in August. The change allows beer bars to fill growlers of beer for off-premise sale. A growler is a 64 ounce glass jug that is filled from the tap. It used to be that only a brewery could fill a growler for sales, “to go.” This law change will allow any beer bar or liquor store with tapped beer to sell them. There will certainly be a period where businesses work out whether they want to have access to the, “to go” market, so don’t expect a deluge of options right from the get-go. A business has to devote resources and inventory to growlers. Filling a growler without beer loss is not very easy either. One hopes that of the hundreds of beer taps downtown, a few will devote some to off premise sales this summer. Where do you shop for beer downtown?

Where Spotted: Riding on Roosevelt St. near 1st St. Why did you recently choose to move Downtown? I was in Scottsdale but I just like where the city is headed and there is such a different crowd here. I also think the nightlife is better. Where do you like to explore? The other night I went to Film Bar for my first time . . . and I go to Carly's a lot since it is near my home. Oh, and Sticky Fingers is just great! Why do you choose to ride your bike around? It's my transportation. I have been solely riding for about four years now, and it saves a lot of money. How do you make riding a bike possible in the Arizona heat? I don't wear black, and try to really only wear white or light colors. Sometimes for work I would bring a pair of clothes to change into, and sometimes I would soak my T-shirt in water and then it would dry by the time I would get to work. What she's wearing: •  Target T-shirt •  Hudson shorts cut from jeans •  Movado watch face attached to an American Apparel headband •  Chuck Taylor shoes   Her biking essentials: •  La Jolla bike given to her by a friend •  A stretchy belt used to hold her bike lock      ]]> 24835 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/05/15/wire-warehouse-clearance-sale-benefit-artlink/ Tue, 15 May 2012 17:52:17 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24854 Some news items don’t need translation.

Art, furniture, appliances, etc. are welcome. Drop items off on Friday afternoon, May 18th from Noon – 5pm at the parking lot in the rear of the After Hours Building. Artlink, creator of the wildly popular First Friday’s in downtown Phoenix and Art Detour, one of the longest-running arts events in Arizona, will be the benefactor of a warehouse clearance sale. The sale will be held on Saturday, May 19th, from 7AM to 12 NOON in the parking lot of the After Hours Building, at 116 W. McDowell Road. The After Hours Building is in the heart of downtown Phoenix, 1 block west of the Phoenix Art Museum and the Central/McDowell Light Rail Stop.   Merchandise comes from a variety of manufacturers and most are never-used overstocks and samples. Items in the sale include gift-wrap, stationery goods, pet products, scrap-booking supplies, t-shirts, greeting cards, holiday decor plus art, furniture, appliances and more.  Many prices are discounted nearly 90% from normal retail, with many items marked at just 25 cents. According to Mike Oleskow, President of Artlink and organizer of the sale, “This is a great opportunity for people to get incredible deals and support the Phoenix Arts community.  Proceeds help keep services like the First Friday shuttles running each month.  While free for First Friday participants who love using it to explore art and to get around Downtown, the shuttles are Artlink’s biggest expense each month.” Artlink Phoenix is one of the oldest, all volunteer run, 501-C-3 arts organizations in downtown Phoenix. Its mission is to maintain and enhance regular events, including the monthly First Fridays art walk, the annual Art Detour self-guided tour, an annual Juried Exhibition and an art-related fundraiser.

To celebrate National Women’s Health Week, an event at CityScape on Friday will encourage women to try new exercises, learn how to create nutritious meals and just hang out with their girlfriends. Sports in the City, the first ever fitness event presented by Girlfriends Talk Sports and Gold’s Gym, will feature everything from Zumba to weightlifting. According to Karen Frye, an NBA mom who produces and hosts Girlfriends Talk Sports, Sports in the City will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to teach women about getting fit and allow them to “find the athletes within themselves.” “Being fit and sports go hand in hand,” Frye said. “We wanted to provide people with this opportunity to try new things and mix up their exercise routines.” Frye added that women who attend will get the chance to try out “chick boxing,” yoga classes, and dance classes taught by the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders and the Phoenix Mercury Hip Hop Squad. They will also get a lesson on baseball by the Arizona Diamondbacks. “This is the first time Phoenix has had an event like this,” Frye said. “It’s about education, instruction, and showing people how to get into the game.” Sports in the City will also offer services to measure body mass index and blood pressure. People who attend can even learn how to make healthy meals during a seminar put on by the Arrogant Butcher. “Really, the main goal is to have fun,” Frye said. “It’s a Friday, so we don’t want this to be like a job. Come down, hang out, and we’ll reintroduce you to the culture and community in downtown Phoenix.” Dillan Boyd, the group dining manager for The Arrogant Butcher, said that a major goal of this event involves creating unity among the downtown Phoenix community. “We know that it’s important to meet the downtown community and continue to integrate ourselves into it,” Boyd said. “We really believe that what makes success is meeting people and getting involved in the community.” Boyd added that she wants to use this event to show people the healthy options available at the Arrogant Butcher. “We wanted people to know that they don’t have to choose steak when they come into a restaurant,” Boyd said.  “Through this event, we want to educate them and show that we do have vegetarian options, gluten-free options, and several ways to make healthy meal choices.” Learn more about these nutritious meals and join in the fitness fun by participating in this free event, which is “just one of many to come,” according to Frye. “This city is building its community, but we need people to come down more often,” Frye added. “It’s events like this that will get the people out here.”

A great look for an afternoon by the water is a bandeau swim top, high-waisted shorts, a sun hat to keep the sun off precious facial sin and classic wrap wedges. Minimal accessories are great to emphasize your outfit without getting in the way of a fun-fill afternoon. A chambray shirt is practically perfect for any occasion, and a weekend away is no exception. Pair it with a pair of boyfriend jeans, some classy pearls and of course a pair of leopard loafers and this casual look will be both comfortable yet chic. Roll up the sleeves for a warmer afternoon stroll then add a sweater for the cooler evening. Vivid floral prints are ideal for a BBQ, and when worn with simple accessories can be refined yet exotic! A crew neck dress is great for playing with children and the supportive wedges are easy to walk through the grass and rocks in. Of course, a bright yellow bag is necessary to really add a fun punch to the demure dress.]]> 24953 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/01/bag-madelyn-romero/ Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:58:39 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=24972 Take a peek inside locals’ shopping bags and learn how they use health and beauty products in everyday life. Name: Madelyn Romero

Age: 20 Occupation: Student (sustainability major) Where spotted: Phoenix Public Market What she purchased: • Bouquet of flowers • Variety of vegetables from Maya's Farm: onions, braising mix of greens, broccoli, chard, cucumbers, spigarello     Her must-haves: The flowers are so pretty, I had to get some to decorate the kitchen. I also love the Armenian cucumbers. They're great on salads, but I can just eat them plain, too. Her new find:  One of the new items I purchased is called spigarello. I hear you prepare it a lot like kale, so I’ll probably just cook it with coconut oil and salt for a healthy snack. But I decided to try it out because they ran out of kale in the first half hour.       How she benefits: Basically all of my items are just healthy in themselves. From a sustainability standpoint, they are all local foods, which greatly reduces the food miles and environmental impact. Everything is also pesticide-free and herbicide-free, which is great for health reasons because those chemicals can potentially be harmful to ingest. Why they fit her style:  I think my purchases really show the fact that I’m in sustainability school. I buy from Maya because she grows her own food, and I hope to do the same someday in the future. Buying local benefits both the environment and our health at the same time.

VegCo, a new plant-based supermarket, is expected to open in a to-be-determined Midtown location. By the end of this year, the local grocery store will make it easier for people in the central Phoenix area to knock out all of their meat-free grocery shopping in one place. Heather Francois, the founder of VegCo, said the store will provide affordable, high-quality foods for the increasing number of people restricting their meat consumptions. Francois added that she wants to make grocery shopping more convenient for those with special diet needs. “I wanted to tie all the factors together and serve those people who eat strictly organic, who are focused on local products and community, and who may have allergy concerns,” Francois said. “I also want to able to give (Phoenix locals) plenty of options.” She added that Phoenix needs this supermarket because of the push for sustainable living and healthier diets. “There’s a movement growing here and across the nation as people realize all the dangers of eating meat products,” Francois said. “People are becoming more educated on plant-based diets and how they are optimal for the human body.”

Want to skip the meat? Here are a few vegetarian dining options:

Other food experts in the area are also making changes to meet shifting demands as more people join in the plant-based food movement. Ingrid Hirtz, a chef originally from Austria, said she began building a business around vegetarianism to show people that meals without meat can actually taste delicious. Along with cooking at Fair Trade Cafe, she recently started a vegetarian meal preparation service to serve the city economically and environmentally friendly cuisine. Hirtz added that she hopes to make people realize the standard American diet is not the standard global diet. “The United States focuses on meat,” Hirtz said. “If you go out to a restaurant, everything on the menu has a focus on the meat—such as a pork tenderloin or a steak. But in other countries, the traditional diet usually consists of some kind of legume or grain with vegetables—meat is more of a side dish.” Whether it be her creamy vegetable korma curry or goat cheese quiche made with almond flour and sun-dried tomatoes, Hirtz said it just takes getting people to realize the food tastes good. “Before, people thought of vegetarians as people who cut out meat and had to go to the salad bar or just eat side dishes.” Hirtz added. “Now, it’s a cuisine in itself. People don’t realize that it can be a very satisfying culinary experience.” Now that Phoenix residents seem to accept and understand vegetarianism more than ever before, a local meat producer said she certainly noticed the shift in views. Beth Wilson, owner of The Meat Shop, said when she first began giving out meat samples at The Phoenix Public Market, she worried that her products would not sell among this huge vegetarian population. “I was thinking, ‘Wow, 75 percent of these people walking by won’t even look at or touch the samples,’” Wilson said. “I thought maybe that would impact my business in Phoenix.” Luckily, Wilson said many people come from families who still eat meat, so they visit her shop for local products made from “happy pigs” and meats made without the use of preservatives or chemicals. Even if people refuse her products because of vegetarian or vegan beliefs, Wilson said she understands and respects their goals. She added, “It’s just a part of their search to live better, eat better, and be a better person.”]]> 24998 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/01/6th-avenue-gallery-brings-heat/ Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:44:57 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25064 6th Avenue Gallery tonight as they get ready to unveil a new art show, Some Like it Haute! The gallery will feature 15 designers (and maybe more) who have created one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the famous Arizona triple-digits and of course, fashion.

Visitors will be the judges, vote for their favorite piece and will also have the opportunity to place an order for either of the finished designs. The competition will take place from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Each item is for sale and can be ordered for specific size. The designs will be displayed in the gallery through July, though new designers will be rotated in throughout the installment. Interest designers are urged to contact the gallery if they are interested in participating. The gallery will open at 6 p.m. and is located on the southwest corner of 6th Avenue and McKinley, just south of Roosevelt Street.  ]]> 25064 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/04/boutique-solie-slated-open-tuesday/ Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:33:47 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25173 [/caption] Boutique Solie is set to open its doors tomorrow, June 5, on the NE corner of 7th Avenue and McDowell Road. Beth Soliere, 32, branched out into the boutique business roughly two years ago and is focused on creating a shopping experience that is fun and relaxing. Soliere described her boutique as a place where, "anyone can come in and find something that can work for them." The variety of items she carries seems to reflect that approach. Boutique Solie will carry women's clothing, jewelry, shoes, bags and a range beauty products. Soliere is also offering spray tanning on the second floor, above the boutique. Many products offered throughout the store are eco- and vegan-friendly, including bags made from recycled products, organic nail polishes as well as a vegan-friendly spray tan solution. While locally made goods are not available at this time, Soliere plans to begin searching for one-of-a-kind items made from local artists and designers to be sold in her store. She is also looking to showcase art pieces throughout her store for sale as well. In the months ahead, she will look into adding men's and vintage sections. For all new clients Soliere is offering a $15 introductory rate for her custom, sunless tanning. Boutique Solie is set to open Tues., June 5 - and is bringing a new take on style to the urban fashion scene.

Events included the Great Bike Chase that took bikers from Hance park through the streets of downtown to Chase Field to experience a Diamondbacks game, and PedalCraft which brought together bicycles, art, and community to celebrate the city’s growing urban bike scene. The biking euphoria continued straight into May with National Bike Month, which is more appropriate for those states that just recently de-thawed. Though, we’re lucky enough to have year-round bikeable weather for commuting, racing and bar-hopping, and it feels like there are more bike riders on the streets of downtown than ever before. Businesses are cluing in that adding bike racks attracts business, ASU’s downtown population is growing and downtown-adjacent residents are joining in and leaving the car at home. We bike locally, why not buy locally?  Local First Arizona acts as a great reminder to source as much of your daily needs as you can from local growers and purveyors.  Local goods are likely to be fresher and feed our local economy. Think of your local bike shop in the same way.  No, squeezing the seat won’t tell you if the bike is ripe, but the local knowledge, customer service and selection are enough reasons to put these four Central Corridor shops on your go-to list.  The common theme in talking to these shop owners and managers was the passion that they have in giving a quality customer service and products to the buyer.  They are all dedicated to the development of a cycling friendly Phoenix. From south to north, this local line-up of full service cycling shops between 7th and 7th can satisfy all your cycling needs from bikes and accessories to repairs and advice. Honorary mention in this list is State Bicycle Co., a Tempe-grown, urban bike manufacturer, in keeping with the Local First Arizona theme.

Landis also features a unique “Women’s Only” section featuring specific bikes, clothing and accessories for the ladies.

Sun Cyclery

5833 North 7th St., Phoenix, AZ 85014 (602) 279-1905 Manager: Joe DeLong Opened: 1976 Hours: Mon-Fri 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sat 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Joe keeps an inventory of mountain and road bikes, but the impressive selection of cruiser bikes and accessories make this showroom a destination. If you are looking for something unique like a stretch low-rider, or a cruiser with a built-in cup holder, Sun Cyclery is the place. They also have a great selection of recumbent bikes and trikes, for a more relaxed or stable cycling experience.      

State Bicycle Co.

State Bicycle Co. is a Tempe based manufacturer of high quality, stylish, and affordable bicycles.

Kick-off the summer with some recreational fun. Pro's Ranch Markets will offer children free soccer balls to encourage them to get out and play!  Event: Pro’s Ranch Markets Phoenix Soccer Ball Give Away When: Tuesday June 12 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Where: 1602 E. Roosevelt St. Tuesday June 12th Phoenix, AZ – Pro’s Ranch Markets and the Provenzano family are pleased to support children’s sports activities by providing the ingredients for fun to the children in the community. Beginning last Wednesday, Pro’s Ranch Market has been giving away 600 soccer balls to the neighborhood kids at each of their 7 Phoenix area locations. “Sometimes a friendly soccer game with neighborhood kids is what can bring a community together,” said Rick Provenzano, the company’s VP of Operations. Pro’s Ranch Market has a variety of community-driven, family-oriented events almost every month,” Mike Provenzano, the CEO said of the Pros Ranch Markets community events. “This is how we say thank you for being great customers, neighbors and friends." Mr. Provenzano further added, “We want to thank the community we serve.” The events vary and range from Easter Egg Hunts, Back-To-School-Backpack Giveaways, Health-Care Fairs and Christmas Toys Giveaways. 15 Volunteers are also needed to help give out soccer balls, give out food samples and help with the charity work in the community. Pro’s Ranch Markets has stores in Albuquerque, New Mexico, El Paso, Texas, and 7 locations in the Phoenix area. More information is available on Facebook and on the Pro's Ranch Markets website.]]> 25089 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/06/bag-claudia-smith/ Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:11:52 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25167 Take a peek inside locals’ shopping bags and learn how they use health and beauty products in everyday life. Name: Claudia Smith Age: 33 Occupation: General Manager at Baja Bush Pilots Where spotted: Roosevelt Row, near Roosevelt and 5th St. at First Fridays art walk What she purchased: • B-Green Mint Lip Balm • B-Pure Almond Lip Balm Why she chose these products: I walked by the Just B booth once at First Fridays, but I didn’t have any cash on me. I knew I wanted to come back because I really like their cause here — all of the proceeds go toward fighting homelessness. The products are reasonably priced, and I feel good paying for something that is so worthwhile. It helps support a local business, which I’m always more than happy to do. Her must-have: My favorite of my purchases is the mint lip balm. It has that clean, relaxing smell and it just feels great. I’m happy with what I bought because they are the same scents I always buy, but I was able to get them while supporting a good cause. How she benefits: I like that these are good health and beauty products. Just looking at the overall big picture, their stuff contains no chemicals, so it is beneficial to health without using harmful ingredients. And also, natural products are just always going to be better for you and easier on the skin and body. Why they fit her style: A lot of people now are more interested in knowing exactly what they are putting in and on their bodies. They also seek a higher benefit when shopping for these kinds of items. Buying these lip balms shows that I care about where my beauty products come from and that I don’t buy things just anywhere. I will definitely be coming back here to try out different flavors.]]> 25167 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/05/bike-chic-special-shopping-edition/ Tue, 05 Jun 2012 17:34:46 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25186 Bike Chic Special Edition | Bunky Boutique features bicycle-inspired accessories for the dapper downtowner looking to add some hot wheels to their life in ways other than as transportation.

No, that doesn't mean that the boutique is now carrying bicycles (though that would be quite fantastic), but that does mean bicycle-inspired accessories are in and going fast!   These little and big necklaces are simple and delicate but certainly add a little spice to a simple T-shirt when biking around.

Additionally, the Sheraton is introducing its Sheraton Selects menu of premium wines by the glass. All wines in the program have been rated 85 or higher by Wine Spectator with at least four coming in at 90 or greater. The spacious Park Lounge Lobby features plenty of comfortable seating and the bar along the wall has three televisions tuned to a variety of sporting events. District American Kitchen and Wine Bar offers selections such as Schreiner’s Bacon Wrapped Dates, Baked Macaroni and Cheese and their All American Burger in the Lounge, so there’s plenty to attract those hoping to stick around Downtown and avoid the rush hour traffic.

Devour Phoenix and Waste Not Team Up for Hunger Awareness Drive July 17 -31 Devour Members set goal of using local food producers to raise enough money to feed 100,000 people This July, the Devour Phoenix Restaurant Coalition, an initiative of Local First Arizona and the hosts of the Devoured Culinary Classic, is collaborating with Waste Not to tackle hunger in Phoenix through their Devour for Waste Not campaign. Waste Not, a local food rescue organization that collects up to 6,000 pounds of local food daily and re-distributes it to agencies and organizations that feed the hungry, is able to gather and re-distribute a surplus of edible food that would otherwise be thrown away.  The collaborative effort has set a goal of feeding 100,000 people as a result of the Devour for Waste Not campaign and, with your help, will reach that goal. For every dollar raised by Devour restaurants, Waste Not can feed six people. The details are simple and fun: help them reach their goal by dining out at one (or all 12!) of the participating restaurant locations from July 17 to July 31 and ask for the Waste Not featured dish. Each restaurant will be using local food purveyors like The Meat Shop, Queen Creek Olive Mill and Seacat Gardens and proceeds from the featured dish will go directly to Waste Not in their efforts in combating hunger.

Kilwein said they chose to open a downtown location because that is where their customers are.

Rum Bar Launches “a-RUM-a Therapy” Punch Hour Social

AZ’s Only Exclusively-Rum Establishment to Feature $5 Punch Cocktails, $6 Small Plates, 5pm - 7pm Weekdays When 5 o’clock hits, it’s time to “punch out” and then “punch in” at the Rum Bar for its new a-RUM-a Therapy punch social hour. Every weekday, the downtown Phoenix bar will feature a $5 rum punch and a specially priced food menu for the nearby skyscraper-dwelling biz folks and Valley cocktail lovers alike. But if it’s cheap beer and wings you seek, keep moving. “Relax... sniff, swirl and enjoy these cocktails,” says owner Dwayne Allen. “a-RUM-a Therapy is really meant to be therapeutic for the spirit.” Like all of Rum Bar’s craft cocktails, these frequently changing punches feature premium ingredients, made-from-scratch tinctures, fresh summer fruits and fragrant spices. Stop in from 5pm-7pm and find the large celebratory punch bowl set for serving to those thirsty for relaxation after a long day’s work. And there’s more good news . . . Rum Bar will also debut a new summer cocktail menu Wednesday, June 6th (download new cocktail menu here), ensuring the spirited downtown spot stays the official sanctuary for summer drinks. The unparalleled assortment of rum and rum cocktails is the spot’s main draw – that is until visitors take a seat on the misted, open-air patio, try a taste of Rum Bar’s specialty plates and experience one of the most affordable (and fun) forms of therapy around – the kind that comes with a fine island concoction in one hand and a pair of sunglasses in the other, the perfect formula to keep both the creative – and Caribbean – juices flowing until your next visit.

This man don't care for the typical clothing that doesn't have any pizzazz - he likes to make an entrance and isn't afraid to stand out in a crowd. Amir's La Voûte, located inside Vintage by Misty on Central, has his essentials covered. Street-style Father If your dad is relaxed and loves to throw on his favorite old T-shirt for any occasion, then you most likely have a street-style father. This chill attitude exudes through his wardrobe choices. He might layer the classic essentials with a vintage twist and, sure enough, those proportions work cohesively for him. GrowOP is a fabulous shop on 6th St. that is sure to be equipped with a thing or two to give to the street-style dad.   Hipster Dad(dy-o?) If your dad is always impeccably dressed, seamlessly put together, but always has a quirky detail on his outfit, then you probably have a hipster father. This man leaves no detail untouched and always has the perfect accessories to complete his ensemble. He also knows he likes to keep things simple and demure, perfect for a business meeting yet still appropriate for afternoon cocktails. Dapper+Dash, sold at Mercantile on Central, is a brand dedicated to the bow-tie, and perfect fit for the hipster dad!   For information on sales happening at these boutiques in June, check out the Fashion Roundup!]]> 25464 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/13/bag-ronda-hampton/ Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:18:03 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25501 Take a peek inside locals’ shopping bags and learn how they use health and beauty products in everyday life. Name: Ronda Hampton Age: 47 Occupation: Bartender at Legacy Golf Resort  Her Neighborhood: Central Phoenix Where spotted: Haven Boutique (pictured below)     What she purchased: • Tokyo Milk Le Petit Handcreme • Love & Toast Cherry Lemonade Lip Balm • Love & Toast Sugar Grapefruit Handcreme • Two handmade bracelets • Vintage sterling ring   Why she chose these products: The jewelry would probably make great gifts, but I picked these up for myself because they were so pretty. I picked the beauty products for the scents. They are so summery, light and cool, which is great in the hot Arizona summer. Her must-haves: The hand cremes will be something I use everyday because I will probably just throw them in my purse. It's something that's great to always have right there with me when I need it. How she benefits: I’ve bought a Love & Toast handcreme before and I love it because its non-greasy and it’s not too heavy at all. Now I’m picking up a new scent, but I already know I love the product. The lip balm is something new I had to try because the scent is irresistible. Its ingredients are all-natural and the list is simple and straight-forward. The Tokyo Milk also has an ingredient list with only four things listed on it, which I think is great because it’s not hard to understand what it's made of. Why they fit her style:  The mix of vintage (jewelry) and new products makes my purchases unique and shows I like trying out the new while still using old favorites. And I’m all about the natural and simple ingredients in my beauty products because I like to be able to understand what's in them.]]> 25501 0 0 0 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/2012/06/12/eat-words-impressions-blue-hound-kitchen-cocktails/ Tue, 12 Jun 2012 17:54:54 +0000 http://downtownphoenixjournal.com/?p=25511 Blue Hound Kitchen and Cocktails is trying to do something right. Padded gloves in their approach, the powers behind the new Downtown restaurant and cocktail marker inside the equally fresh Hotel Palomar have made a transparent effort to court and coddle the new neighborhood in which they are rooted. Hopefully, this transcends over time. Unlike other recent Downtown hotel (or big-monied) projects, who landed Downtown like an alien spacecraft, there seems to be an edge of awareness for the Downtown community here that separates. A large, deep-pocketed development this may be, splashy and superficial it is not. With equal attention paid to both its physical, and spiritual, design, Blue Hound Kitchen and Cocktails appears to be a nice layover between that quirky, idealistic (and independent) hot-spot we Downtown die-hards crave, and the more manufactured corporate digs our transitioning Downtown still needs, despite those entrenched cravings to the contrary. Weathered wood, untreated metal and communal energy pervade Blue Hound. Its deceptively raw interior is trimmed by art both playful and pointed, and, with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city just above street level, Downtown’s biggest inherent asset is always dining with you: a genuine urban environment. Honest in its hotel restaurant genes, but clear in its stance to veer off course, Blue Hound’s food menu straddles the accessible and foreign. Arizona-grown food items are injected throughout, and responsibly raised and sourced produce, proteins and seafood have a clear agenda here. The balance between food-cost and food ethics hits a good middle ground here. Executive Chef Steven Jones is a local player who knows Arizona well, too. From respectable stints at Tarbell’s and most recently Latilla at the Boulders Resort in Carefree, Jones understands local palates and what’s possible market-wise. Otherwise common short-ribs lean uncommon at Blue Hound, with their Flintstone-sized entry (full order $26; half $15). One of the menu’s biggest jewels, it’s a primal cauldron of tender red-meat that has been lacquered in a sarsaparilla-heavy barbeque sauce. The blue cheese grits that sit beneath show restraint, and the pickled peaches that bedazzle this aggressive rib are great, providing that perfect smack of summer. The Kentucky-fried quail ($15) is another example of Blue Hound and Jones’ intention to tease without obscuring. Seasoned quail, fried flaky, screams of the famed Colonel’s secret recipe – Jones claims to harbor its secret mix – climbs a cube of foie gras cornbread (you read correctly) and swims in a sinful, spiced red bean gravy. These are trophy southern flavors twisted with reinvention. Blue Hound’s beverage program is probably one of the outpost’s flashiest canons. Initially guided by San Francisco-based mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout, but built-out and fully refined by two of the Phoenix area’s most talented and enthusiastic bar personalities Shel Bourdon and Tyson Buhler, the booze menu is extensive but smart, and reasonable: most cocktails float at price point of $10 or less. Never overwhelming, the bar showcases a brainy catalog of top-shelf spirits. From gin to scotch, rye to mezcal, Blue Hound is clearly braiding the sentiments of timeless, prohibition-era cocktailing with the exploding ambitions of current craft cocktail trends. Much like the food menu at Blue Hound, these are hand-crafted drinks that will please ardent spirit geeks and surprise unknowing hotel guests alike. For something more serious, be sure investigate the appropriately named “The Darkness” ($10), a smoky cocktail with Bols Genever (think a malty Dutch gin), homemade lavender syrup, fresh lemon, mezcal, amaro (bitter herbal liqueur) and egg white. It’s floral, deep and smooth - the perfect introduction to an evening of menu hopping. For something a little airier, swing for the Heathen Child ($10), a bright muddle of strawberries, Jamaican rum, strawberry-coconut creme, ginger liqueur, fresh lime and orange bitters. A cold pitcher of this on a sweltering Phoenix afternoon? Instant relief. Blue Hound’s wine list covers ample ground as well, with almost 70 varieties - some on tap - represented efficiently. For sud lovers, a great craft beer checklist exists presenting options bottled and on tap, local and beyond. Blue Hound also flexes its muscle with its house-made ginger beer, served on tap - one of the first bars in Arizona to exploit this trend. Spicy and fragrant, their version is worth a sip. Added to a cold, fizzy cocktail or guzzled virgin, straight from the tap, it’s ginger beer on another level. Exploring the rest of the Palomar’s multi-level lobby and common areas, you’ll also discover what is soon to be one of Downtown’s most buzzing perches, the expansive pool terrace and outdoor bar area Lustre. A colorful plank overlooking Downtown’s growing skyline, the entire space is ripe for early afternoons and late evenings lounging outdoors with icy cocktails and great gossip. Totally urban, totally un-characteristic of Phoenix (or Scottsdale), this space alone marks a new era in Downtown socializing. Outside of Blue Hound Kitchen, and Lustre, the Palomar Hotel in its entirety lacks most of the pretension local cynics will be hunting for. Alien in its arrival it is not, the newest player on the block respectfully cues our neighborhood - and its possible future - without completely succumbing to its (sometimes) provincial pitfalls. It’s confident, proud and perfectly happy to be in Phoenix. We couldn’t agree more. [gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4" orderby="post_date"]]]> 25511 0 0 0
