Arizona Has A Free Museum Where Kids Hold Real Meteorites And Rocks That Look Like Bacon

Tucked inside a recreation center in the northwest Valley, a small volunteer-run rock museum opens its doors for just three hours a week and charges nothing at the door. Most Phoenix-area families have driven within a few miles of it without ever knowing it existed, which is exactly what makes it such a satisfying find. Inside are glass cases packed with labeled gems and minerals, a little shop with friendly prices, and a darkened black light room where ordinary-looking stones suddenly shine in colors nobody expects.

Phoenix Writers Club: 100 years of creativity and camaraderie

In 1926, the city of Phoenix was roughly 5 square miles; its skyline was dominated by the Heard Building – completed in 1920 and home to The Arizona Republican and the Phoenix Gazette – and the Luhrs Building, the tallest building in the city once complete in 1924. The 1926 re-routing of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s main line through Phoenix was a key factor in the city’s growth, Sky Harbor airport would come along just three years later, and downtown and the greater Phoenix area was fast becoming a tourism destination.

Flood watches in effect in central Arizona as Halloween storms begin

Rain spread across Phoenix and Arizona yet again Friday, Oct. 30, as a low pressure trough over the Pacific Ocean brings two opportunities for rain over the weekend and a series of alerts regarding the active weather. It seems poised to skip over the main event for most: Halloween. Thundershowers moved in Friday morning, Oct. 30, and a shortwave energy and abundant moisture produced showers and storms throughout the day. Rain totals pushed past half an inch in many areas of the Valley and an inch or more was recorded in some gauges on the outer edges. A new round of storms hit with the evening rush hour, reducing visibility in some parts of the north Valley. Later models have picked up on a linear look to how the storms will travel, moving from southwest to northeast. Northwestern Arizona and parts of Yavapai County could start to see thunderstorms as business hours open, then activity explodes heading into lunchtime, spreading southward to western Maricopa through Pima counties.
