February 5, 2010 by Nick Bastian 1 Comment

Fat Tuesday on Mill Avenue in Tempe has been around for 20 years! Why? Because they do things right.

CityScape survey – Your .02 appreciated!

June 16, 2009 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

Some projects just make you say, “Wow!” One great example is CityScape in Downtown Phoenix which is why I thought it was cool to get a copy of this survey from my friends at Urban Affair. In an email from them I read; The landscape of Downtown Phoenix is changing, and as members of the […]
