I was with some friends in Tempe on Friday night and we somehow brought up the Mill Avenue District. ( shocking, I’m sure ) When Encore on Farmer was brought up, there was a “I didn’t even know about that” statement. It reminded me that I had been sent a copy of the rendering for […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Central Station
This past week, I got to hang out with some friends in downtown Phoenix. On my way home, I shot this pic at the newly designed Central Station. If you have not seen the multi-million dollar facelift, take a look the next time you are downtown by exiting at Central and Van Buren or at […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Fans Flocking to FanFest
Well, the pic of the week almost HAS to have something to do with the All Star game in Phoenix. Without a doubt, there has been a lot of people “riding the rails” downtown to see and be a part of this huge sporting event. Today, I walked by the ball park, the convention center […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – More METRO Art
I took this photo back before METRO began operating our light rail system. This piece of artwork was shot at the Rural Road station on the ASU campus and I just happen to think it’s pretty cool. 🙂 If you happen to have a favorite photo from some of the art work along the line, […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – To Atlanta I Go
So, I was sitting with a friend, talking about old times and watching the Bulls / Atlanta series. Jack says, I’ll be in Atlanta if this goes to six games, should we go?” Of course I said “Hell yeah!” Unfortunately, one look at my calendar and I realized that I really couldn’t swing it on […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Momma’s Boy
I remember when the term “Momma’s Boy” would have been something that made me cringe. Thankfully, I’ve grown out of that. Go ahead, call me a momma’s boy, I’ll probably just smile. Today is Mother’s Day, a day to celebrate amazing women that do great things in all of our lives. This afternoon, I will […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Helicopter Parents In The PHX
So, there has been quite a buzz about a blog post written in the Downtown Devil this past week about the great divide in downtown Phoenix. With thousands of students now attending class downtown, there still seems to be a large disconnect between ASU, students, and the surrounding community fabric that has struggled to wrap […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – How About Them Devils
This past week, ASU unveiled their new uniforms. So far, I have heard mostly positive remarks. Personally, I like them. The black uniforms seem to have had the most reaction but I like some of the other combinations, as well. The video below shows the new uniforms and the photo above is one I took […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – CityFest Action In Tempe
Arizona City Fest continues today at Tempe Beach Park. Yesterday, the place was packed with tens of thousands of people! My wife and I took the kids for a train ride there. ( They love to ride the METRO – I’m sure that shocks everyone. ) These are a few pics and videos I took […]
Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Cute As Can Be
Check out this cool little home in the Mitchell Park Neighborhood. It was built in 1945 and will be getting a sweet little update over the next couple of weeks. I love some of the homes here and in the neighboring Maple Ash area, they are just cool. This particular home is two stories full […]
