I’ve seen the grungy, amazing soul of what a Downtown arts community is supposed to look like. It is in the double-digit avenues, and it is awesome.
Under new direction from husband-and-wife team Adam Murray and Kim Larkin, Modified Arts is now shaping up to be one of Downtown’s premier galleries.
There is a lot of history in the tiny gallery space at 407 E. Roosevelt St. that is now Modified Arts. In fact, the structure is celebrating its 90th birthday in 2010.
In a few months, two new spots will join Nine|05 at 4th and Garfield streets: European-inspired gastropub Canteen and El Rey, a Mexico City-style taco n’ tequila joint.
When I first moved to Phoenix, I never saw the move as something permanent. I expected to stay here for a few years, then move on. Something has kept me here, though.
Brace yourself, but I have been to Carly’s before. OK, I’ve been there a lot.
With so much progress in a year (let alone during the big bad recession), it’s encouraging to see what’s happening in our city.
Are you gonna be Downtown on Christmas Eve? Not everything will be boarded up for the holidays.
Over the past two years, amidst all the new buildings popping up, Downtown Phoenix has quietly become a national leader in promoting adaptive reuse.
If you’ve been at the corner of 5th and Roosevelt streets this past month, you’ve noticed the Upcycle Living model home on the northeast corner. Inside you find a green, affordable living space.
