Anyone remember Phoenix Giants baseball on the east side near Legend City? On occasion we would venture cross town to "Muni Stadium" and watch Phoenix play. Tickets were dirt cheap back then in the 70's Seems to me it was the Toros we saw play one time from Tucson.

The Arizona State Fair always had good things to see and do. It normally ran like 17 days or so from late October to mid November each year back then. We saw so many great concerts there. Journey as there one year. The Fixx, Alabama, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, Kenny Loggins, Air Supply just to name a few. We would pig out on corn dogs, carmel apples, cotton candy and fresh lemonade. Always went home completely satisfied that we got out money's worth on the carnival midway rides, took home a few stuffed animals now and then or a gold fish after getting the ping pong ball to land in one of the small glass bowls..harder than it looked... LOL

Here is an overhead of Legend City with Phoenix Muni in the upper right corner.

It was a sad day when it closed in the late 80s. At least there was SOME use for the Galleria, it was used as a location for the B-movie "Tank Girl" in the mid-nineties.
I remember going to the Kachina to see 2001: Space Odyssey with a group of friends in the early/mid 70's. Everyone was going back to my place in Sunnyslope for Chili after the movie but I couldn't remember if I turned off the stove or not so the boyfriend had to drive back and check on things...can't remember now if I did or didn't but I got to see the movie anyway. We did have chili so I guess it wasn't burned. lol

Looking at Google Earth, I was able to find the site of Cloud 9, former restaurant on Shaw Butte.
Can anyone tell me how they managed to get their car up Shaw to enjoy the fine food at Cloud 9 or was the parking down the hill?

I too hope someone out there has some pix of the Bethany. Gobs of great memories there. Saw the Exorcist there in 1973. I was 19 at the time but couldn't walk into a dark room for weeks after seeing that movie.
Scared the hell out of this Catholic!!

While we wait, heres a shot of a different kind of theater. The Celebrity in 1964. Wasn't it originally called the Travel Lodge Theater?
Wasn't it originally the Circle Star Theater?

I remember Jerry's New Years Eve! Was he there with Dr. John in about 74-75? Redball Texas Flyer!!!

I bought leather goods at Tandy Leather east of the theater, for a while there was a Color Tile business next to Tandy Leather. We bowled in leagues at the bowling alley at 19th Ave and Bethany as well as the bowling alley on the northeast corner of the freeway and Indian School. After bowling at Bethany we would walk across the street and have some eats at Bob's Big Boy...which later moved behind Christown in the old Elephant Bar restaurant. Now...all torn down for lite rail and the big new Target store. And wasn't the Phoenix Baptist Hospital on the northwest corner of 19th and Bethany once a chiropractic only hospital?
Or was that Phoenix General...maybe Osteopathic...I think I had my appendix out there in '65 but I can't remember where it was.

Thanks.
Ok m'dear...what would you like to know? I was there for awhile in '67-'68.
