The Gladly has moved into to the old Ruth’s Chris location and I love it just as much. The menu has foods from all different styles of cooking that everyone will like. They even have a gluten free menu. Make sure you come hungry so you can try one of their appetizers. While some of […]
Are you a good sales person? Do you believe you could sell anything? It should be the easiest thing in the world to sell a product like Phoenix wouldn’t you think? But what if you were Barry Broome, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) and your job was to sell all […]
What’s it like being a pediatrician? Dr. Randall Christensen from Phoenix Children’s Hospital thinks it’s great! There couldn’t possibly be a more gratifying medical specialty. Your patients are smiling little cherubs who, when they’re sick, you can make well. That’s the best of it. The worst has to be treating a child with a terminal […]
Savannah was six years old the first time she had intercourse. She was raped by a family member. As a teen, there was depression, attempted suicide, abusive relationships. How could life get worse? It did. At 16, she became part of our growing sex-trafficking industry when she was sold to a pimp. Savannah was a […]
He played big time college football. He was a four-time Pro Bowler in the NFL. But how much of it does he remember? He hit a lot of people. A lot of people hit him. In his day, “getting your bell rung” was a badge of honor. Today some are recognizing it at worst, as […]
“Where do we go when we die?” It’s the one question we’re all asked or have at least wondered about…including atheists. A medium will offer one answer…a member of the clergy may see things differently. But the only person who can answer the question, “Where do we got immediately after death,” is the mortician. What […]
There’s a lot of wonderful fine dining restaurants in the Valley, but I’m not sure any of them can compete with the view you’ll find at Orange Sky at the Talking Stick Resort and Casino. You’ll easily see for miles with the 360-degree view of the Valley from the 15th floor of the hotel while […]
Do you realize that human beings have been decorating themselves with tattoos for tens of thousands of years? Virtually every culture ever known has used these “moving pictures” to express themselves. But in 2013, in North America, in Phoenix, Arizona, why would anyone choose to painfully add permanent art to their bodies? Some obviously think […]
If you’re visiting restaurants in alphabetical order you may never reach one of my favorite places to eat: Z’Tejas. With many locations throughout the Valley you can’t go wrong with their southwest cuisine. They have many options available; from steak to seafood, to mac amd cheese, and don’t forget about their Chambord margarita. You can […]
If you were asked to explain in detail how the new Affordable Health Care Plan would affect you and your family, and feel a little confused, you’re not alone. I’m asking an insurance professional, the President and CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield, Richard Boals what he sees is the future for the general public […]
Restaurants come and go all the time, but when it’s a staple in the community since the 1950s, like Sportsman’s Fine Wine and Spirits has been, it’s a bit harder to swallow. I have been a fan of Sportsman’s for many years, so when I heard that they were closing their doors, I was sad. […]
When you’re the fire chief in a city the size of Phoenix, you have a lot of responsibilities and hundreds of firefighters that look to you for leadership. But this time, the Chief goes back to his days as just one of the guys on a truck so that he can answer the question, “What’s […]
Daniel Malventano is back in action as he recently opened up Caffé Daniel in Phoenix. Here, Daniel is creating his true Italian dishes for lunch and dinner and from what I’ve had so far, I like. From authentic pasta dishes to seafood specials you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. And lets […]
Perhaps someone in your family always wanted to be a doctor…but does anyone ever really want to be an emergency room doctor? Is this the glamour of practicing medicine? Shootings…knife wounds…near drownings…animal attacks…automobile accidents. That’s a typical night in the emergency room at St. Joseph’s Hospital. What kind of doctor wants to do that? The […]
In the Valley, we are known for having a lot of places to choose from when it comes to food from below the border. However, many of them serve the same predictable items: enchiladas, tacos and burritos. At Via DeLosantos they take Mexican to a whole new level. My particular favorites are those that are […]
We all are regularly exposed to news stories about the powerful, addictive drug, methamphetamine, but what’s it like to use it? What’s it like to find yourself powerless to stop using it? Why does anyone start? This is a compound of industrial chemicals so toxic, that when law enforcement busts a meth “kitchen,” haz mat […]

If you have ever heard that old adage, “If anything swims it shouldn’t be served in the desert,” let me tell you that I’ve found a place that will put that myth to rest. At Eddie V’s in Scottsdale, the seafood is of the freshest quality. The restaurant has it flown in daily from both […]
The city of Mesa has seen a lot of change over the last 10 years and many are surprised when they find out just how big Mesa really is. I had a chance to sit down and talk to the Mayor of Mesa, Scott Smith and discuss some of these changes that have occurred over […]
If you aren’t too familiar with Indian cuisine let me be the first to introduce you. India is a vast country that has a long history of creating spicy dishes that are packed with flavor and delicious breads called “naan.” Indian food can be somewhat intimidating for beginners, but trust me when I tell you […]
PHOENIX – The ACLU of Arizona stopped by to talk about what the organization does and what it tries to accomplish. Alessandra Soler, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona told me about the ACLU and what it’s all about. “The ACLU is a non-profit civil rights organization that defends everyone’s rights.
