Center Stage

Love it or hate it, the Arizona Center has one thing going for it that so many Phoenix-area-based retail-centric businesses would kill for: Longevity.

Love it or hate it, the Arizona Center has one thing going for it that so many Phoenix-area-based retail-centric businesses would kill for: Longevity.

On Tuesday, November 16, the downtown retail spot, which hasn’t really packed the punch they hoped for when they opened two decades ago, is hosting the Arizona Center 20th Anniversary Celebration. The Center has been through mad ups (an upstairs nightclub and a yearly 3-on-3 basketball tournament back in the day) and downs (cheesy AZ kitschy shops that are more appropriate for Sky Harbor Airport as well as a potential crush to foot traffic on account of CityScape’s recent opening), but they are still kicking. For the par-tay, there will be live music, magicians, and shopping deals.
