If you grew up in Scottsdale, chances are good that some of your favorite icons — former Mayor Herb Drinkwater, the Safari Resort, Lulu Belle's — are long gone. But this split-personality city (chi-chi meets Wild West) has held fast to some wonderful old icons, like that kitschy, giant cowboy sign that welcomes you to Old Town and the fabulous Louise Nevelson sculpture that graces Scottsdale Civic Plaza.

Read all about it — and more — in this, our "Scottsdale Icons" edition of SHINE.
