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 – 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 – Tap That Card
School is back in session and ASU students are rockin’ the METRO light rail as expected. One of the best deals around is the ASU U-Pass for students and faculty. ( Just $80.00 for the academic year! ) METRO has been getting the word out to students about the availability and proper use of their […]
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 […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Made in the Shade
Wowza, it has been HOT lately. Last week, we talked about the a/c units on the light rail trains. This week, I have a pic from the new shade canopies at the light rail park and ride lot located at 19th Avenue and Camelback. In the past, the only covered parking had been in Tempe […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Keepin’ Cool
It’s no secret that the a/c works *really* well in the METRO cars in Phoenix. In fact, the people at METRO seem to be pretty proud about how well the air conditioning units on the trains keep us cool. METRO has said the system works “6x more than the typical AZ home” and have said […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Happy 4th of July
A Sunday 4th of July makes for a fun and exciting weekend. Many communities around our great state took advantage of Saturday celebrations while the BIG Phoenix and Tempe 4th of July celebrations will happen this evening. As you can see below, I tried to do a short video of a neighborhood 4th of July […]
