Must be a sign of the times and economy ...... the Blockbuster in Gold Canyon located in the Basha's shopping plaza at 5301 S. Superstition Mountain Dr is slated to be closing , according to local press. It is one of four stores that the company has decided to close in the Phoenix Metro area.
Apparently the actual date of the closing is not defined at this point, but it will discontinue renting movies and games and will only be selling new and used movies and games. There are plans for Blockbuster to place a Kiosk in the Bashas’ grocery but, the kiosk will only have new release movies available.
In order to rent older movies or games customers will be sent to nearby full-service Blockbuster locations. The closest full service location to Gold Canyon that is offering these services is located at 400 S Idaho Rd, in Apache Junction Arizona.
While located in a non-descript strip mall, this little Middle Eastern restaurant, Eden's Grill is anything but non-descript. All the food is made from scratch with a lot of care put into the preparation. Typical Middle Eastern dishes but with a fresh touch and often times, lighter.
The restaurant has received many raves and mentions in the local Phoenix press as "best of", and "best ever", etc. Some items such as catfish are unexpected but wonderful. Visit their website for more information
If you live in Arizona you know the sun is more intense than in some other locations, so it is no surprise that landscaping plants coming into Arizona from other states, marked in the stores as "able to tolerate sun" may not do as well in Arizona, where the sun can be hotter and more intense. Interested in getting some terrific landscaping plants that are used to the Arizona sun and are therefore more likely able to survive?
