Antique Ride

10 cents. Not since what, the 40's? There are three or four of these beauties near the entrance to Rock Springs Cafe.

Rock Springs Cafe

Rock Springs Cafe is located on the I-17, in Black Canyon City. Their pies are to die for!!!!!!!!! So is their organic coffee. Yummy! So if you're ever heading up or down past there, stop and get some pie. They also have a diner inside hat I hear is also fantastic.

Rock Springs Cafe Frontage

There's the front. Saloon, Pies and Diner. What could be better??

Yes, Roses in December

There is a rose garden right next to one of the City's buildings. This was one of the prettiest ones that day.

The Orpheum Theatre

Just around the corner from City Hall is the Orpheum Theatre.
The theatre was completed in 1929 and recently has gone under
nearly $14M in renovations. The theatre is spectacular inside and
out.

City Hall Fountain

Just outside Phoenix City Hall is this cool fountain.

There are many great statutes around downtown Phoenix. Here is one outside of one of the City's buildings.

Phoenix Roses

The City of Phoenix has a lovely rose garden near their
auditorium. This is one of the prettiest I saw on a nice rainy
day in tha Valley.

Tres Rios Festival

March 6 and 7 was the annual Tres Rios Festival in Goodyear, AZ. Unfortunately Sunday (the day I was there to volunteer for my office) was a rainy, windy, crappy day. I still got a few good photos, like this handsome Harris Hawk.

Blooming Pear Tree

Along the east side of the County Admin building are several Pear trees. This February they were in bloom.
They smelled lovely, but lasted less than 10 days blooming.

Fourth Avenue Jail

Actually, this is the 3rd Avenue side. It's really a nice jail. I'm glad I will never have to spend time in there!!
4th Avenue Jail opened in 2004 and been constantly busy.

Old MCSO transport

See? The white looks crappy compared to the new colors

Another Bus

Parked next to the Madison Street Jail sally-port.
The black and gold is much nicer than the dirty-white and gold.

Waiting for the Bus.

Not me! Along Jackson Street are several MCSO inmate transport buses. This is not a bus I ever want to take a ride on!

Santa Fe Railway Building

This is on Jackson between 5th & 6th Ave. They tried to turn into into a arts building but I don't thik it lasted long. Just above is one of the county's parking garages.

Sunset...or not?

This is at 5th Ave & Jackson in downtown Phoenix.
