With their Tempe location being the first in Arizona for this chain restaurant, Maria Maria, comes to Tempe and serves delightful Mexican food. (They have two other locations in California and one in Texas.) With interesting items like duck tacos and spicy baked cheese, they also have their own specialties such as "suizas" which are an unusual menu item with corn tortillas filled either with shrimp or crab meat and baked with Swiss cheese and covered with roasted tomato cream sauce. Yum! Lots of specialty drinks as well including many made with special agave tequila and delights like tangerine mojitos. For more information visit their website or all 480-449-3663.

Tempe's Mill Avenue has been named one of 10 Great Streets for 2008 in the American Planning Association's Great Places in America program.
This is great news as it starts to bring more attention and business to a community that has finally stepped out of the "norm". Tempe for the longest time has remained a small, family orientated community. It has only been in the last 10 years or so that Tempe has embraced urban living and high-rises. With dozen of future projects in the works, Tempe is setting the standard for Arizona and most of the West.
If you have never been to Tempe and Mill Ave. I recommend you check out the website Mill Avenue District it is full of useful information. And if you are interested in Urban Living get in touch with me at my website The Phoenix Team

I was on my son's schools web-site Ryan Elementary looking at the October calendar for the kids. I found this interesting and yet every year we plan to attend and then something happens and we do not attend...unfortunately. This year I promised my son that I would find out when this event was taking place and make sure that we can attend, take the whole family and even our Golden Retriever...Duke. And yes he looks like the "Duke" from the baked beans commercial. :)
So I Googled Frank Kush and learned about his Foundation. What an interesting Bio, this gentlemen spent 22 seasons coaching Arizona State's (ASU) football team.
The Foundations motto:
"To encourage participation by Arizona youth in health and physical fitness activities that will promote self-discipline, confidence, and family involvement, and lead to healthier, happier and more productive lives."
What a great way to spend the day with the family and promote physical fitness.

Tempe has a ton of wonderful and diverse communities. From horse property to ultra luxury urban communities and just about everything in between.
Saturday, October 18th is "G.A.I.N" night which stands for Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods and is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness in neighborhoods. Lori and I will once again be joining several of our neighbors in participating in this fun event with our kids at Stroud Park in Tempe. The Camelot Village Neighborhood Association is involved and they describe the night as a partnership effort between the Tempe Police Department and Neighborhood Watch Programs, Neighborhood Associations and Apartment Communities. During G.A.I.N. residents lock their doors, turn on the their porch lights and spend the evening outdoors with their neighbors.
Camelot Village is just one of the great neighborhoods near the park and just a small sample of the Tempe lifestyle. We walk to Stroud Park often and enjoy the playground, basketball hoops, large grass areas and of course the kids love the "sea shells" along the canal. Come on over and join us on the 18th for GAIN! There will be food and a lot of fun people to hang out with. Feel free to bring a dish to share or to just come check it out!
In case you are curuius, I have enclosed some information on a few of the homes available in this area. Of course, to search the mls for other homes in Tempe or any place else in the valley, you can do so on our web site! :-)

Along with the new boardwalk/bike path currently under construction on the West side of Tempe Town Lake, a new pedestrian bridge is also planned to run over the Western dam. The design really looks fantastic and will help complete the full "loop" around the lake that is currently missing.
