🏙️My North Phoenix View

Quick local insight from your neighborhood’s front porch

Recently, you’ve read my hot take on a local issue. This week is a little different. Did you know we have a website. I have built it to make North Phoenix easier to navigate without relying on 10 different sites. Poke around tell me what’s missing :-)

For now, you can read our blogs (over 150 of them), glance through our Guides, check out events we have going on (Ugly Sweater this Thursday), and soon to be a Jobs Board.

Download our Winter Guide here too!

Here’s what else is moving and shaking around town.

Local Grill..

I was filming in Moon Valley and realized I hadn’t eaten yet, so I stopped at a neighborhood favorite: Moon Valley Grill.

I am a creature of habit. If I go to a Mediterranean spot I will try a chicken pita or kebob. A pizza place-a slice of pepperoni. A Grill-a burger.

And here—did not disappoint. Lots of tvs. Service was great. Burger was cooked perfectly. Seasoned fries were yummy. Thumbs up for sure.

So if you are in Moon Valley, stop by :-)

🚿The Mayor’s Exclusive Deal

Real, local offers negotiated just for our LNP community

Our friends at Valley Smiles are offering free whitening for new patients before the end of the year. Nice perk before year-end. (Make sure to mention LNP)

Just For Fun: 2 Truths & A Lie

  • The I-17 widening project has been planned for over 15 years.

  • The area around 7th St & Bell used to have fewer than 10 restaurants.

  • Lookout Mountain is the tallest point in Phoenix.

Congrats to Blanche Munnely for being the first to guess the right lie last week.
