Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Name That Building
This building along the light rail line in Tempe has become a popular spot, and it’s location is pretty darn convenient for ASU students and for people wanting to live car-free. Prior to the opening of the light rail line in 2008, Equinox was to be prime housing near ASU. In fact, I took this […]

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – 9/11 Healing Field A Great Place To Reflect
While the media attention has been on overdrive ( as they should ) talking about this 10th anniversary of thousands of Americans killed by cowards, I wanted to share a photo from the Tempe Healing Field. I hope that we all take a moment to honor those lost and to honor the heroes from 9/11. […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – ASU Students Are Back
It was a busy week for a lot of people. ASU students were welcomed back to college life and thousands took advantage of the METRO system getting them around town.

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – More Light Rail Construction
We try to keep up on some of the light rail expansion information in our area. In addition to local news, I sometimes come across things around the nation that I find interesting.
