Calling all history lovers! “The Coronado Neighborhood is both typical of the early sub urbanization of Phoenix and reflective of trends that shaped the city's neighborhoods as they developed between the two World Wars. A large portion of the Coronado district still retains much of the character of a modest streetcar suburb of the 1920s and remains as a viable middle-class neighborhood. Coronado's architectural significance comes from its diverse collection of residential styles, predominantly Bungalow, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival that dominated Phoenix neighborhoods from the 1910s through 1930s.”

Coffee
Cafes, baristas, cappuccinos, oh my!
The best local chain for quality boosts of caffeine. Plan to wait in line because Dutch Bro’s is always in high demand. Try the “Annihilator” breve or the the “Lazer Cat” Rebel.

Sedona
Head north to Sedona for breathtaking sites, shopping, and a bit of woo. The weather is a tad cooler than Phoenix, so plan accordingly. Nature is abundant, there’s no other place like it. Take a vortex tour or hike for some insta-worthy photos.

You can drive north or south for choice stargazing! “Flagstaff adopted the first outdoor lighting ordinance in 1958. Tucson/Pima County did so in the early 1970s. The State of Arizona, all counties, and many municipalities now have some form of regulation.”
