Phoenix City Council signed off on terms for a 99-year ground lease and a 50-year waste supply agreement on Nov. 4, clearing the way for a long-delayed waste recovery campus that city staff say could extend the life of a regional landfill while giving hard-to-recycle materials a second life.

Mr. Lucky's was the king of clubs in Phoenix. What happened to it?

It was October 1966 when Mr. Lucky’s opened for business on Grand Avenue in west Phoenix, a two-story honky-tonk that soon became one of the Valley's most beloved music venues, affectionately called the king of clubs. The main floor hosted country music royalty, from Waylon and Willie to George Jones and Jerry Lee Lewis, with rock acts relegated to the basement. Sixty years later, the club’s iconic Vegas-worthy neon sign — a grinning jester — hasn't stopped towering high above bypassing traffic from its 50-foot perch at Grand and 37 th avenues. The bells are missing from the faded jester's hat and the little rectangular boxes that once promised cocktails and dancing appear to have been shot out or otherwise vandalized beyond repair. The dice that once hung from the bottom of the sign have also gone missing. The building itself is now home to Mr. Z Towing, which runs an impound facility for the Arizona Department of Public Safety in the parking lot, surrounded on either side by used car dealerships. J. David Sloan sang country at the helm of Mr. Lucky's house bands, first the Rogues, then Western Bred. In 1988, he bought the bar from original owner

Bob Littlefield Did the Math, and Put Scottsdale First

Few people have fought for Scottsdale’s character longer than Bob Littlefield. The Army veteran and tech entrepreneur served three terms on the City Council, from 2002 into 2015, and chaired its subcommittee on water issues. He founded Taxpayers Against Awful Apartment Zoning Exemptions, better known as TAAAZE, to fight against what he and many others saw as the incredible overreaches of Axon and its mega-apartment complex plans. This year, he ran for a fourth term. Then, after earning his spot on the November ballot, he walked away from it.
