Songbird Coffee & Tea House Owners Busy Building Nest

As you drive by the monOrchid building on Roosevelt St. you may notice one more bird painted on the exterior wall. That's the logo of the Songbird Coffee & Tea House, which is just a few short weeks away from opening its doors on a planned opening date of Monday, June 18. While owners Jonathan and Erin Westgate Carroll work on the usual build-out and permitting process, and the fun headaches that come with that, let's look ahead and get a glimpse of their vision for this re-activated space.

Your Downtown Beer | Beer to Go – Gone?

[caption id="attachment_24827" align="alignright" width="196" caption="Ambition and Closure. Liquor 24hrs?"][/caption] It’s the little things sometimes. I may be one of the few people to notice the mural on the side of the Phoenix Public Market well before the announcement that the indoor market would be closing. The mural depicts a market at the center of a community in the process of rebuilding itself. The market bears a liquor sign with an impossibly ambitious 24 hour sign (currently not legal in AZ or most anyplace for that matter). Phoenix Public Market's Urban Grocery never was a liquor store, but it did have the best selection ...

Bike Chic | Morgan Meronk

Bike Chic is a DPJ series by Fashion intern, Cortney Kaminski. Each week she will be scouting locals who not only ride their bikes but look dapper doing it. Who: Morgan Meronk Age: 27 Occupation: Still looking. Where Spotted: Riding on Roosevelt St. near 1st St. Why did you recently choose to move Downtown? I was in Scottsdale but I just like where the city is headed and there is such a different crowd here. I also think the nightlife is better. Where do you like to explore? The other night I went to Film Bar for my first time . . . and I go ...
