PHOENIX, AZ – A free day to play for everyone 55 and over! That is what the 2007 Maricopa County Fair is offering seniors this year. Opening day of the fair, Wednesday April 11, has been officially designated as Seniors Day. Admission will be free to visiting seniors.
A day full of fun to help celebrate “It’s Showtime” is in store for all visitors. Lots of great entertainment is scheduled. Daily shows by Skip Banks the Balloon Man, Madame Zelda’s Puppet Circus, Terrell & Takako – Jugglers Extraordinaire and Doggies of the Wild West are just some of the lineup.
Two stages will be filled with dancers, school bands, local musicians and other community acts. “We are currently booking barbershop quartets, sweet Adelines, square dance groups and other specialty acts,” says Carolyn Siebrand-White, Seniors Day Coordinator. “We are thrilled to offer the fair to seniors for free.”
As a special treat, everyone 55 and over will receive a free carousel ride from 10am to 2pm. “Thanks to Butler Amusements, the fair is able to offer Seniors carousel rides at no charge. Come on out and enjoy the fair, the food, the entertainment, the exhibits and even the carnival,” says Michael Searle, Executive Director.

Inaugural Downtown Phoenix Home & Loft Tour
 |
|
The inaugural Downtown Phoenix Home & Lof Tour is
Saturday, September 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
As promised, each day this week we will release details of
homes on the tour. Here are a few to whet your appetite!
Tickets are $20 and include admission to the Urban Affair … purchase them here.

|
|
| >>> Stadium Lofts at Buchanan and 2nd Street was a pioneering development in downtown’s warehouse district back in 2003.
Just two blocks south of the then American West Arena, the 4-story brick building was considered to be in the middle of nowhere. And now? The Summit at Copper Square condo tower is under construction and Jackson St is prepping for a $400 million makeover.
Stadium Lofts consists of 31 units ranging in size from 1,200 to over 2,000 square feet. Ten to 22-foot ceiling heights give way to city views. Spiral ductwork and exposed brick walls are coupled with granite countertops and wood floors. |
|
|
|
| >>> The “Willetta 9” residences are on Willetta near 7th Street and were designed by architect Michael Underhill.
“This urban loft floor plan is unique with European kitchens and many modern details. Convenient elements include private garages, private yards and studio spaces. Creative flex spaces can conform to your needs. Concrete floors, beam ceilings, modern bathroom design, and contemporary kitchens are some of the perfect finishing touches.” ~ AZarchitecture.com
A 1,100 square foot, one bedroom, one bath unit is now on the market for $365,000. |
|
|
|
| >>> Palm Lane Lofts at 325 East Palm Lane were built in 2004 by architect Ian Baldinger. Units originally started selling at $400,000 and are now selling-if you can get one-around $650,000 (or $430/SF).
The 3-story row homes boast cherry Italian cabinets by Diemme, black granite countertops, designer appliances by Bosch, fixtures by Danze, and “expressive aluminum and steel” details.
“Great architecture inside and out.” ~ selection committee comments |
|
|
|
| >>> Unique to the tour is a single family bungalow just off Roosevelt Row-the burgeoning arts/retail and live/work corridor north of Copper Square. The modest studio/gallery at 918 North 6th Street is shared by a young couple who live the artiste’s life we all partake of once per month on First Fridays.
“Gallery space worth seeing, great art and workshop area.” ~ selection committee
This bus stop along the Tour includes an Artisan Village live/work condo as well as all the retailers along Roosevelt Row. Don’t miss this one! |
|
|
|
Tomorrow: “Only at Orpheum”
Five stunning units in the exquisitely restored and renovated art deco Orpheum Lofts at 114 West Adams.
Wednesday: “All About Artisan”
We will feature the three uber-urban projects of developer Eric Brown: Artisan Village, Artisan Parkview, and Artisan Lofts on Central.
Thursday: “Four for the Future” will feature four projects currently under construction: 44 Monroe, Portland Place (at left), the Studios @ 636, and the new Phoenix Convention Center, the home of Urban Affair. |
|
|
|
| And Friday’s finale? What’s a house tour without a dramatic ending?
An iconic retail landmark is changing hands … what will become of My Florist now that Mr. Lacy has sold the building? What will become of Willow Bread? And the cafe/restaurant?
Don’t fret just yet … Mr. Lacy has generously agreed to be stop #6 on the Tour! His flawlessly decorated loft above the restaurant is an absolute MUST SEE! |
