Sweeties Candy of Arizona

Your dentist will hate us for turning you on to this place. It’s literally a superstore of candy. There is a saltwater taffy department, people. Just about everything is sold individually or in bulk, and every item you remember from childhood is right here, stacked floor to (practically) ceiling. There’s nothing fancy about Sweeties, but […]

Swift Rides

It never fails. Every single weekend, Swift Rides manager Matt Simon gets asked the same annoying question by potential fares and inebriated coeds: Do you go all the way to North Scottsdale? And the answer, as always, is no. Same for Tempe, Mesa, or any other location more than a few miles away from Old […]

The ethnic theater troupe performs in both Spanish and English, making it a mission to employ and develop the emerging talents of the Valley’s Latino actors, directors, playwrights and designers.
