This past week, I noticed that “Tempe Tavern” was painted on the old historic building known to some as the White Dairy Barn, which was later turned into Murphy’s Pub at McClintock and Apache. Old timers around here know that the White Dairy Barn was built in 1919 and has been part of a lot […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Revisiting The Orpheum Lofts
This past week, I took another trip to the Orpheum Lofts in Phoenix and was able to snap a few more pics of this cool building and it’s pool, conference room, steam room, and patio area. I love the look of this “old” building in downtown Phoenix. The architecture of this residential building stands out […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Tempe Cutie’s Serving Weenies
This past week, the ASU State Press ran a cool story about the latest addition to the Mill Avenue District. They mentioned that Cutie’s, a late night hotdog shop would be opening on Mill Avenue on Friday and giving away a bunch of Dogs for the lunch crowd. On Thursday evening, I walked by Cutie’s […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Lofts at Orchidhouse
The Lofts at Orchidhouse on Mill Avenue happen to be just West of where our “railgating parties” take place and I have always liked the building and this project. While I was over there this past week taking a look at one of the units, I shot a few pictures. In the background, you see […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Smoke and Mirrors?
The “pic of the week” is from Sun Devil Stadium and I shot it as we came back to the game after halftime. Now that I think of it, this one reminds me of the Sun Devil’s first two games. At first glance, it looks pretty cool but after a closer look, it is a […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Who’s Running The Show?
The ASU football team had a scrimmage this weekend and many people are asking about the quarterback situation. According to Paola Boivin, there is a front runner in Junior Steven Threet although Brock Osweiler has been getting a lot of attention to date. Around here, we are getting pretty pumped to resume some serious “RailGating” […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Sunshine On A Cloudy Day
This past week, I was once again at One Lexington checking out their cool condos. After poking around in the Penthouse for a bit, I went down by the pool and took this shot because I thought the clouds looked kind of cool. I hope you like it, too… Remember, Rail Life has a Phoenix […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Food For Thought
This past week, I got to have lunch with my friend David who writes one of the coolest food blogs on the planet. While I am clearly not a professional photographer, ( heck, I cut his head off! ) I thought this pic would be fun to post this week, especially after reading David’s review […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – That Damn Dam
To me, the news about the dam bursting at Tempe Town Lake is a *really* interesting story. From the initial reaction to the following morning press conference to the hundreds of story lines that have and will continue to follow. Heck, so far we have had discussions about: The enjoyment of the area: The […]
