Surviving Summer



From Judy Hedding, your Guide to Phoenix
Am I the only one who's upset about Twinkies? They make a big deal about discontinuing them, then they make a big deal about bringing them back, smaller than before. Yeah, OK, the old company went bankrupt and was purchased by a new company. I don't care. I didn't buy them then, and I won't buy them now. Now if they brought back Yodels, I'd be right there to buy a box!

Summer Sweats
If it isn't as hot as it was a couple of weeks ago when we broke several records, how come I am sweating more now? Well, my dears, it's all about humidity. We desert rats love to brag that it's a dry heat, but when monsoon rolls around, you can bet that the humidity readings are up. Check out the heat index.

2013 Vehicle Theft Report
Who remembers when Arizona was ranked #1 for car thefts in the country? I see lots of hands raised! Thankfully, those days are behind us now. See how Arizona ranks.

Name Brands for Less
They don't build many indoor malls any more around here -- I imagine that open-air malls are significantly cheaper to operate. Less to air condition, less to clean, fewer security issues, more open and environmentally friendly spaces. In 2012 and 2013 we saw two new malls enter our marketplace, both of them outlet malls.
