100 S Mill Ave Has New Owners

October 30, 2014 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s true… The famed Monti’s La Casa Vieja property has been sold and this is the first time since 1954 that a Monti name hasn’t been on the deed to this historic property that was originally built in 1871 by Charles Hayden. In what could be a nod to the past, the new ownership group […]

West 6th – Welcome To The Neighborhood

July 30, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

West 6th threw a party Friday night.  It was an amazing party that gave many of us a glimpse of what is to come with these gorgeous buildings. I’ve been fortunate to have taken a few tours of West 6th over the past few years; first with the previous ownership group while the buildings were […]

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – How About Them Devils

April 17, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

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 – Cute As Can Be

March 13, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

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 […]

Family Friendly Events Plentiful In March

March 8, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

It’s hard to beat the weather around here in March. Lots of sunny days and spectacular nights. I am often asked about family-friendly things to do along the light rail line and the obvious choices always come to mind. Catch a Suns or Diamondbacks game, head to a museum , play, or concert to enjoy […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” of the week – That Damn Dam

July 25, 2010 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

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 […]

So, you’re a geek, right? Don’t worry, you’re not alone in the world. In fact, I bet you might even have more than one or two “friends” that you have met because of being a geek, right? Heck, maybe you are NOT a geek but would secretly like to know what all of this geeky-social-media […]

Find Your Housing + Transportation Affordability Factor

April 17, 2010 by Nick Bastian 4 Comments

This past week, I attended part of the sustainable living conference at the Tempe Transit Center where some true transit geeks talked policy, lifestyle, and awareness of a more green world. One of the more interesting topics to me was the study on housing and transportation costs here in Arizona and across the country. There […]

No Joke, Tempe Still in the Google Chase

April 2, 2010 by Nick Bastian 1 Comment

Some April fools jokes are funny, some have a way of creating a lot of buzz. At Google, they definitely know how to create a buzz about their services. With their announcement that Google Fiber is coming, their PR machine has masterfully played up a HUGE awareness campaign the world over. Yesterday, Google changed their […]

March 4, 2010 by Nick Bastian 5 Comments

Google Fiber coming to Tempe? Yeah, it could happen! When I first heard about this, I immediately thought it would be COOL. Thankfully, so did many of the leaders of our city.
