Did you know where in the Valley this fence is?
Congratulations to Sal O., the first reader to give us the correct location for Monday's "Where in the Valley?" photo . State of play: The decorative fence is at 5th Avenue and Jackson Street in downtown Phoenix, outside the Icehouse . The Icehouse is an events and arts venue with a long and colorful history. Flashback: It was built in 1910 for Constable Ice Storage and used — as the name suggests — to store massive blocks of ice, per Downtown Phoenix Journal . The Phoenix Police Department later used it as an evidence storage facility, which for a time housed murdered Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles' bombed car . Helen Hestenes and David Therrien bought it from the city 1990 and converted into an arts and performance space , which became a popular spot for raves. The venue is still available to rent today.

Guest Editorial: Barry and Michelle Offer A Reality TV Show. I Offer Solutions.
Residents are tired of the antics. They just want leaders who will solve problems. Michelle Ugenti-Rita and Barry Graham have spent this election telling Scottsdale residents who to fear. Their latest attack on me is long on accusations, short on facts, and completely devoid of the leadership our city deserves. These are accusations that were dismantled and disproven numerous times over the course of the past three months. But they don’t care; to them, repeating lies is a pastime.
