Learn to Row on Tempe Town Lake



Sometimes when I'm driving over the Mill Avenue Bridge, I'll look out the window and see someone in a kayak rowing the length of the lake. And watching that-- the long, lean strokes out there in the middle of all that peaceful water-- makes me wish I did a little more rowing and a little less driving to and from In N Out Burger. I looked into it, and the ...

July 4th at Tempe Town Lake



Just because July 4th falls on Hump Day this year doesn't mean you can get away with hibernating inside watching Top Chef like every other Wednesday. That's why you have TiVo. US Airways is proud to present the CBS 5 July 4th Tempe Town Lake Festival! Live music starts when the gates open at 4:00 and there'll be an enormous food court stocked with all your traditional July 4th ...

Festival Season!


One of my favorite things about living in Tempe - heck, Arizona even - is that this time of year starts the dozens of art festivals that happen all around the state. The Tempe Art Festival is kicking off this year the weekend of March 30th-April 1st.  Boasting over 400 local artists, this is the event to attend in Tempe.

The Best Date Night Restaurant in Town.


Yes, readers, I realize these are big words. Mighty big words. But I feel confident in saying you won't find a better meal, atmosphere and evening then at Monti's La Casa Vieja. Located at the always rockin' Mill Avenue, Monti's Steakhouse is a must!

The ribs are to die for (according to my Husband, who is quite the rib connaiseur), the filet mignon will melt in your mouth. If you ...

A Bookstore like None Other.


A few weeks ago, I went in search of a book. It was hard to find, not carried at any major bookstores, and few places online had it for a reasonable price. I decided to take a stop in to one of the most talked about bookstores in town, Changing Hands. Located on the corner of McClintock and Guadalupe, Changing Hands is the center for all literary events in ...

A Haven for Bargain Shoppers


Living in Tempe, we tend to take it for granted... a mall that is nationally recognized as one of the top 5 outlet malls in the country : Arizona Mills Mall. It contains over 150 stores and is filled with gorgeous artwork in each of their "neighborhoods" to give each area a completely different feel.

For the high end shopper, you'll love the deals at the Saks Fifth Avenue outlet - ...
