Yep, another Diamond’s pic this week. The boys of Summer in Phoenix had a tough series against the Yankee’s recently which was no surprise as the bullpen struggled “a bit.” The part that sucked the most was feeling out-numbered on our home turf. By home turf, I mean the stadium and while riding the METRO […]
Worldwide Photo Walk Coming to Rock the Light Rail
The 3rd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk is coming to town. In Phoenix and Tempe, the photo walk will be rockin’ the light rail! What makes this photo walk different than the ones happening from Paris to New York to Germany? This one is going to utilize our light rail system to get to […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Chase-ing Colors
Everyone knows that Chase Field is a very popular destination for METRO riders. Baseball fans enjoy the cost and convenience factor of taking light rail to the ballpark. Our “Flickr Friend” at Right Brain Photography recently added this cool pic of Chase Filed as seen from outside of the light rail station at 3rd and […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – The Landmark
The METRO public art program allowed 28 artists to create unique, station specific creations to enhance the look and feel of our light rail stations. It has been quite a while since I mentioned these works of art, but I find many of them very interesting. Back in December of 2008, before the grand opening, […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Pump It Up, Dude
As I walked along Central Avenue this week, I took this shot of the new Gold’s Gym at CityScape and thought it turned out kind of cool. I have to wonder if the opening of this new gym will bring some muscle heads from any of the walkable neighborhoods along the line or if it […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Top of the World
I happen to think the Hayden Ferry buildings in Tempe are pretty cool. The views from the top are spectacular with the Phoenix Skyline, Downtown Tempe on one side and the great views of Four Peaks and so much more to the East. This past week, I was in a conference room on the 11th […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Monti’s Google Fiber Video
I have been talking a lot lately about Tempe’s Google Fiber project. Basically, I think it sounds pretty cool for the city get higher speed internet.

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – Tempe Walk-Ability Making Strides
This past week, I mentioned the new Urban Garden Project in Tempe in a post about some cool things to do this weekend. As I walked by there Friday evening, it was cool to see the beginnings of a more urban lifestyle in our city. While the recreational user has been given much of the […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – On Your Mark
Well, about 95% of the people that read this blog won’t have a clue about what I am talking about, but that’s ok. This weeks pic of the week shows a personal friend of mine doing something he does very well. No, it has nothing to do with the mug in his hand, it has […]
Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – That Lovin’ Feelin’
Unfortunately, my ‘pic of the week” isn’t a very good shot of the Tyler Hurst, Yuri Artibise, Katie Charland rendition of You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ from this past weekends CenPhoCamp. The quality of the picture doesn’t have nearly as much meaning as the song did to the opening of a GREAT “un-conference” where people […]
