Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Glendale, etc etc, were all actual cities, separated by farm ground. You knew when you left one and entered another. A trip to Phoenix for us meant going up 56th St (Priest) through Guadalupe to Baseline then west to Central. For 'real shopping', it was a day outing to Park Central Mall. Don't forget the lion in the cage at the KFC on Apache. (Really Harmons, wasn't it?) High Jolly further east in AJ with the alligator farm. You could send the kids to the State Fair ..ALONE..and not worry about them! Metro Center was SOOOO far north of town and SOOO new. The Air Force bone yard in Goodyear with acres and acres of scrap military planes. Lots of drive-in theaters to choose from. Seeing the block busters ie Ben Hur, King of Kings, Laurence of Arabia, Sound of Music, Ten Commandments, How the West Was Won, etc etc in Wide Screen at the Vista on Central. There was no carnival at the Maricopa County Fair. They were building a Zoo in Phoenix in the middle of the desert! Nakatsu's veggie market on University. A real farmers market.
