If you live in Scottsdale it's time to vote

I tried to stop him guys. I really tried.

I lived in the valley for many years and I was surpised when I went back recently and saw downtown Scottsdale. I totally agree with John opposing "a taller and denser downtown Scottsdale, citing concerns of traffic, infrastructure, impacts on adjacent neighborhoods and a loss of the city's character." I believe Scottsdale use to be the "west's most western town" and now it's more like the Beverly Hills of Arizona.

You're making me nostalgic.

I have some of Bill Keane's (Family Circus) artwork that shows what the character of Scottsdale's buildings and plazas looked like in the 1950's and 1960's. Guess that was before the population boom.

 

I used to love going to "Downtown" Scottsdale in the 1970's for shopping with my mom, lunch at the Sugar Bowl, or a visit to the "BIG" library. Later I commuted daily thru the downtown arteries on my way to ASU. You might see traditional old western boots and tack store fronts, and a Frank Lloyd Wright design in the next block.

 

As a young adult I attended city council meetings - another great reason to go downtown.

 

25 years later, fond memories, probably would not recognize much there now.
