Two major projects are moving forward right on Scottsdale’s edge, bringing more industrial growth and hospitality development to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

Even when something technically sits outside Scottsdale, locals can still feel the impact through traffic, jobs, visitors, and how the area develops.

Do you think projects along Scottsdale’s borders should be part of the local conversation?

Great Wolf Lodge near Scottsdale is looking to expand again, adding another piece to the growing Talking Stick Entertainment District.

That whole area has really become one of the Valley’s go-to spots for family weekends and staycations, so I can see why they’re looking for more room.

Would you like to see even more family-friendly attractions added around Talking Stick?

Sorry, Arizona… you know at least a few of these are painfully true. 🫣

Apparently I wanted to make some enemies today, so I’m officially starting a roast series for the Arizona places that need to be called out.
With love, of course. 😉

Which city should I do next?

Downtown Phoenix could be turning an older office tower into a new JW Marriott.

It’s an interesting shift for that part of downtown, especially as more of the area leans into conventions, events, dining, and tourism.

Do you think converting older offices into hotels is a smart move for Downtown Phoenix?

Paradise Earth, the proposed indoor rainforest near Scottsdale, just hit a pause in the approval process.

It’s definitely an interesting idea for the Talking Stick area, but I can see why a project like this brings up a lot of questions in the desert.

Would you still like to see it built?

How to know Arizona has officially gotten to you 😂

1. You’ll park three rows farther away for one tiny patch of shade. That shaded spot is premium real estate and you know it.
2. Someone says it’s 95° and you go, “Oh, that’s actually nice.” Your standards have changed. There’s no going back.
3. You know snowbird season without checking the calendar. Traffic gets weird, patios fill up, reservations disappear, and suddenly everybody has out-of-state plates.
4. The second you get in the car, AC comes first. Seatbelt? Music? Directions? Absolutely not. Survival first.
5. You barely notice the sunshine anymore… but still take 47 photos of the sunset. Every. Single. Time.
6. Monsoon clouds become a full evening activity. You go outside, take pictures, send them to the group chat, and then get six drops of rain.
7. Driving two hours just to be 20 degrees cooler sounds completely reasonable. Flagstaff? Payson? Done. We need relief.
8. The second someone says Arizona is “just brown and hot,” you become the state’s unpaid PR team. Because yes, it’s hot. And yes, you will still defend the desert like it personally raised you.

At some point, these stop feeling weird and just become normal life. How many of these are you guilty of?

Halo Vista is moving into its next phase, with new industrial space planned specifically for companies tied to the TSMC ecosystem in North Phoenix.

It’s another sign that this corridor is becoming much more than one chip campus.

Do you think North Phoenix is ready for this level of growth?

Charles Schwab is investing $11.7 million into a North Scottsdale office, another sign that companies are still putting serious money into physical workspace around the Loop 101 corridor.

Do you think North Scottsdale is becoming more of a business hub?

I’ve lived in Scottsdale long enough that the things I’d miss most probably aren’t the things you’d find on a travel list.

I’d miss that first morning after summer when you walk outside and realize patio season is finally back.

The way a simple Saturday can turn into an early hike, coffee somewhere nearby, errands in the sunshine, and dinner outside without needing to plan some huge day around it.

I’d miss watching Scottsdale completely change personality every winter when the snowbirds return, patios fill back up, and suddenly there is something happening everywhere.

Then comes that stretch of the year when Barrett-Jackson, the WM Phoenix Open, and spring training all seem to hit at once and the whole city feels alive.

I’d miss knowing exactly which roads get busy, which trails are worth waking up early for, and where to go when you just want a quiet walk along the Greenbelt.

And yes, I’d even miss those summer evenings when the monsoon clouds start building and everyone goes outside to see whether we are actually getting rain this time. 😂

After more than 20 years here, those little rhythms are what make Scottsdale feel like home to me.

Scottsdale locals, what would you miss first if you ever moved away?
