Music on Mill
The Gin Blossoms used to play on Mill Ave. So did the Refreshments. The Meat Puppets did too. Mill Ave and Downtown Tempe have a vibrant music history and it’s still one of the best places in the Valley to see local music.
To celebrate and honor this history, musicians and performers play on the streets of Downtown Tempe every Thursday night from 5-9 p.m. at an event known as Music on Mill. The Phoenix Metro area usually does a poor job of celebrating and recognizing aspects that make this area unique, but Tempe is usually ahead of the curve. Just another reason why downtown Tempe is superior to Phoenix. Read more
Pat’s Run 2010
I ran in the 6th Annual Pat’s Run in Tempe on Saturday with my roommate Mike and my friend Irene. I kept calling the run a “marathon” and was reminded on more than one occasion that I was not running a marathon, but a mere 4.2 miles. That’s a lot! I’m an inshape guy, I work out at least 4 times a week and I run about a mile or so 5 days a week, but running 4.2 in one single chunk of time has never happened. I finished in 45.02 minutes and I thought that was pretty good. I didn’t know what to expect in terms of time, so I was pleased.
