Very heartwarming to hear that so many of us loved Tempe. My story is a little different. We moved from Phoenix just before 6th grade started. I lived at the Mill Ave. end of E. 15th Street and nobody from Broadmor lived down there, so my sister Joanne and I kept each other company through the 6th grade. I rode my bike around Tempe and loved all the irrigation ditches, Daley Park, and yes, it was a safe place to be. No fear about being anywhere at any time of day or night. Not a lot of cars, either. Tempe Beach is not there anymore, Annabelle. Neither are the slides - anybody remember them? They were at the north end of the Mill Ave. bridge a little ways and were a series of fast-moving cement - lined canals that had starting and stopping points; probably they were using them as a way to control amounts of water they released. You could wear out the seat of your cutoffs in 1 afternoon. I used to go up there with Jill Boyd, Ronnie Erickson, Steve Dennis and Buck Albright. We'd all be barefoot and riding bikes in the heat of the summer. I agree with Mike that Tempe brought out the adverturous spirit in many of us, no matter who we hung out with or what we did. Tempe nutured all of us is how I'd sum it up. I'd say we were all lucky.
