Surviving Summer



From Judy Hedding, your Guide to Phoenix
Did you know that in Arizona last year one person was killed in a motor vehicle-related crash every 10 hours? And, believe it or not, that was an improvement over the previous year. Let's pay attention while we drive. Be safe out there!

20 Best Things To Do
Nine years ago I put together my list of the best things to see and do around town. I recently took a look at my 15 top picks. When I wrote about them, I wanted to present options that were high on the unique scale. Every major city has a city tour, an amusement park and a science museum. Interestingly enough, nine years later, I still like my top 15 picks, but I added five more. 20 Best Things To Do, For Both Locals and Visitors.

National Parks Day
Celebrate the birthday of our National Parks with free admission on Sunday, August 25th! Get the details and the list of parks. Then, plan your special day using this map of national parks in Arizona.

Walk (or Run or Ride) This Way
I would not lie to you. Temperatures will start a gradual decline soon. How do I know? Because the season of walks and runs is approaching.

Get Out and Do Something
  • Every year at this time: rookie league baseball, jazz, tattoo fest, pool party. See more annual festivals, activities and events in August.
  • Free: groove at the mall, see mariachi meet flamenco, make an animal mobile, see a Disney film, see six acts and swap seeds. Get the details.
  • These will cost you something: dispel the myths, two great classics, Sundance shorts, stargazing, iPhone photography, teddy bear tea. Get the details.
