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. Some Scottsdale icons, like James Turrell’s Knight Rise, are relative newcomers to the place — and fast favorites, if you ask us. Read all about it — and more — in this, our “Scottsdale Icons” edition of SHINE.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
