Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
After a two-year battle with cancer, Alice Salazar, co-founder of Manuel’s Mexican Restaurants, passed away on Sunday.

Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, December 5, at Saint Thomas The Apostle Catholic Parish. Floral arrangements may be sent to Whitney and Murphy Funeral Home.
