Talking Stick Resort Arena

Come L.A., the Spurs, the Kings, Dallas,

The Stick, Snake Pit, the Purple Palace.

Our desert Olympus,

Phoenix Suns, show business,

Feel the struggle, love, loss, joy, malice.

Release the Fear

Melted bullets, triggers, and guns,

24-feet, 8.5 tons.

Standing for peace, cheer,

Ending hate, releasing fear,

Ignite the change you wish be done.

Maricopa County Courthouse and Old Phoenix City Hall

Ghosts of lawyers, judges, laws discussed,

A beacon for truth and all that's just.

Old files, memoranda,

Ernesto Miranda,

A silent peace, fair play, dawn 'till dusk.

Tom's Tavern

New beginnings at Renaissance Square,

A storied past. Years of wear and tear.

Since 1929.

Great food, craft cocktails, wine.

So long Tom's Tavern. Thank you. Take care. 

Arizona Diamondbacks

Hot dogs, drinks, unwind, relax,

Breathe it in, the game, D-backs.

Cool winters, Chase field,

Hot summers - roof sealed,

Steals, the hits, the walks, the jacks.

Hance Dog Park

Alas, a space to call their own,

Play fetch, sniff butts, and bury bones.

Acre space, benches, trees.

Grass and sun. Fun. Carefree.

Take off the leash and let them roam.

Melinda's Alley

Vintage vibes soon consume the valley,

Sinatra, Rat Pack, New York, Cali.

Craft cocktails, red-light glow,

Secret space, streets below,

Speak soft, easy, Melinda's Alley.

Urban Bodega

Our own small-town corner shop,

The neighborhood's mom-and-pop,

Waffles, Teaspressa,

Wine, beer, espresso,

Pick up snacks and make pitstops.

DeSoto Central Market

DeSoto Central Market,

A bright light for nights darkest.

Vintage Warehouse space,

Hipster hangout place,

Perfect choice, right on target.

Orpheum Lofts

11-story high-rise condo,

Art deco, modern/vintage combo.

Since 1931,

City views can't be outdone,

An urban beast, in concrete Congo.

Crescent Ballroom

Mid-sized music venue lounge,

Famous bands, live sets, hit sounds.

Bleacher-like seating,

Patio eating,

Worldwide stage that knows no bounds.

Her Secret is Patience

A sculpture size of a glacier,
Adopting the pace of nature.
Her secret is patience,
Bold, intrepid, spacious,
Controversial art, trailblazer.

Hotel San Carlos

Stories, and myths, and legends,

Ghosts that dare not be mentioned,

A space to raise hell,

That "Psycho" hotel,

Tales e'en time haven't threatened.

Valley Metro Light Rail

Giving riders more autonomy,

Boosting the local economy.

Public transportation,

Valley transformation,

Green, how future cities ought to be.
