Surviving Summer



From Judy Hedding, your Guide to Phoenix
We have had some exciting monsoon thunderstorms lately, some of which involved raging waters and property damage. Did you know that Arizona has a Stupid Motorist Law? It's all about driving into flooded areas that you should have known were not safe. See that area that used to be a road but now looks like a lake? Don't drive there. (Stupid.)

Back to School Already?
Some Valley children are back in school already, and others are enjoying their last days of freedom. It's time to pay attention to those school zones and keep to the posted speed limit.
  • Back to School Fairs and Special Promotions
  • Find Deals on Back to School Clothing and Supplies
  • Local retailers (and a cool museum) that give educators a discount.

  • Rising Out of the Desert
    It seems like it is in the middle of nowhere. In south Phoenix, on Gila River Indian Community land, there was a small casino. Now, it's a beautiful casino, hotel and showroom. When you drive up, you can compare the old to the new! And for those on the west and southwest side of town, you've got a new concert venue and upscale steakhouse. Yay!

  • These will cost you something: Native American music, make chiles rellenos, create a hanging garden, wrestling and a health conference. Get the details.
