The Bearded Truth | July 24th, 2009

July 24, 2009 | By

If I Stay It Will Be Double Last week’s post hit a nerve. Struck a chord. Caused a commotion. And hopefully (yes, I have hope) it will stir people into action. Before I take a stab on how best to retain our talent, though, I would like to clarify a few things: First, I did… Read more

Volunteering in Phoenix – St. Mary’s Food Bank

July 23, 2009 | By

There are many reasons why people choose not volunteer – not knowing where to locate opportunities or perhaps a lack of time. Fortunately there are a wealth of opportunities right here in Phoenix that have a local impact. Additionally, many of these organizations do not require a significant time commitment for volunteers to make a… Read more

Who needs MORE restaurants?

July 23, 2009 | By

I love downtown Phoenix. I love the people, I love the atmosphere and I love that it has so much potential. What I don’t get, and probably never will, is why there is so, so much focus on restaurants and retail. Restaurants attract tourists. Retail attracts shoppers. Both pay low wages. Neither serves residents. Ever… Read more

Mayor Gordon’s Blog

July 22, 2009 | By

My first day in Washington DC this week was focused on developing opportunities that will bring business to Phoenix. Thanks to our beautiful new convention center and hotel in Downtown Phoenix, I invited the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to host their international conference in Phoenix. The conference would bring more than 1,000 attendees to the city to experience great new dining and entertainment. We would all love to see the streets and restaurants downtown full of Electrical Workers.

The Bearded Truth | Volume One, Issue One

July 17, 2009 | By

I often say that we are experiencing something special in Phoenix. A tipping point. That when we look back on the turn of the 21st Century we will see a time of unbridled innovation and leading edge creativity coupled with disciplined growth in infrastructure and sound policy-making. My friend thinks I’m crazy. He says that Phoenix has always been, and will always be, at that tipping point.

I disagreed, until this week.

Brüno: All of the tasteless jokes with none of the reflective commentary

July 16, 2009 | By

I must admit that I anticipated Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest creation, the story of flaming Austrian fashionista Brüno, with some trepidation. Of his three primary characters–clueless Kazahk Borat, jungle-music obsessed Ali G, and of course, Brüno, it was the flamboyant walking stereotype that I thought was the least interesting or funny of the trio. Ali… Read more

Singles Night with the DBacks

July 16, 2009 | By

Didn’t matter if you were young, old, hip or a little nerdy, the 2009 Singles Night with the DBacks had someone for every lonely single. Fox Sports roamed the crowd the entire night looking for people to show on TV, there was a bingo contest which included items such as “socks and sandals” and “tramp stamp” and plenty of tequila tasting (one per ticket, which, well, could have been better).
