Arriving at Chandler Cinemas on a recent Saturday night feels like walking into a subpar episode of The Twilight Zone. The strip mall that houses the cinema (along with a Target store) is huge, but at midnight on a weekend, the entire place is gloomy and dead quiet. When I...

I never so much appreciated urban sprawl. Parties in Scottsdale, parties in Phoenix and, yes, parties in Tempe, (Glendale? Maybe next Super Bowl). South Beach and Bourbon Street may be better stand-alone destinations. But give me space. Old Town Scottsdale and Tempe Beach Park provided plenty of people, plenty of...

Brian "Head" Welch, former lead guitarist and founding member of the band Korn, was standing in the murky waters of the Jordan River, waiting to be baptized. As his tears dropped into the same river where Christ once stood, Welch looked, on that March day in 2005, like the Jesus...
If your inner Cindy Lou Who is craving an electric parade, Santa's arrival, fireworks, and a massive tree, then donate a can of food for parking and be in place for opening night of the annual APS Fantasy of Lights. The Mill Avenue District, a sparkly, sometimes-crazed wonderland from now...
Just because it's free doesn't mean it's good. In fact, "free" typically ranges from less than desirable to repulsive. On Tempe's Mill Avenue, the pseudo-preachers give us free booklets that describe how we'll burn in Hell. Awesome. In the mail, we receive free return-address labels with random company logos on...

If Morgan Spurlock, the guy who made Super Size Me, ever decides to do a sequel, I've got the restaurant for him. A month of splurging on s'mores sundaes, spicy buffalo wings, burgers, and fries would surely expand his waistline as quickly as a diet of Big Macs and Egg...

University SquareIn recent years, developers by the dozen have sunk serious sums into Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe with the hope that ASU kids and other hipsters will spend their hours and (more importantly) their dollars at its ultra-corporate chain stores, restaurants, and nightspots. Too bad for them that the gnarliest place around these parts ain’t […]
Light-rail construction, deteriorating inflatable rubber dams, and a vice mayor named Hut. Tempe can sometimes lean to the frightening side. Now Mill Avenue ratchets up the scare factor even more with the third annual International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival. This year’s bill of fare includes retro classics such as...
