Hiked the Camelback. Beautiful, fun, good time. Except for the lady who slipped and broke both legs and got airlifted out. I'd love to just pin it for lap time on this thing.
Snake near where we parked. Andrea didn't particularly like it when she inadvertently walked right up to it on the sidewalk. I tried squirting it with my water bottle which got zero reaction - sorta was hoping for more.
The Duce. Retro spot, old warehouse renovated. Unique business plan.
The Duce has a pie shop and some organic produce. Not pictured here is also a restaurant, bar, bleachers and a projection screen. It's rather eclectic, but nicely executed together.
The Duce has cruiser bikes, a boxing ring, and some boxing supplies. It also has root beer floats and italian sodas.
The Duce cruiser bike itself.
It also has a lady who embroiders/decorates various army surplus clothes with Fleurs de Lis to take the war out of them and bring peace to the articles. Shirts, purses, boots, and of course army drab leather mini skirts.
Next on the afternoon was bowling at Lucky Strike. It's a super nice place, I'd actually bowl more socially if we had places like this at home.
Suitable social spot decor with restaurant, bar, billiards and pool, plus TV's of course as it is America.
All in I'm super impressed with Phoenix. Last time I was here I dismissed much of it as urban sprawl and lacking culture - the sprawl part is true. But my take is the "ugliness" of the exterior inspires people to bring very classy worldly type decor and style to places that make the interiors super beautiful. Finding them without locals might be hard, everything is stark and bland from the exterior.
