Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Say what you will, J. Crew catalog, I ain't in the mood for stretchy tights and a merino wool cardigan just yet. Summer's still hangin' around and Fry Girl needs to chill. Good thing the fast-food world has provided some new and limited-time frozen sweet treats for the tastin'.
Arby's Strawberry Banana Split Shake, Carl's Jr. Banana Chocolate Chip Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shake, Sonic's Campfire Blast, Dairy Queen's Mini Blizzard -- can these beat-the-heat eatings provide cold comfort on a (still) hot day in Phoenix? Find out in this week's column.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
