The original Bank of Douglas (later called Arizona Bank) was a #DTPHX institution in the 1950s, and its construction was captured in Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho. In addition to its unique weather forecasting capabilities, it has served many needs over the years and still exists today, but with an entirely different purpose. ✍️ Douglas C.

For years, VIVA PHX has been a major institution in the Phoenix music community. It began as a festival where thousands of music fans would celebrate the city’s vibrant culture by seeing both emerging and established artists at dozens of venues around town. After a brief hiatus, VIVA PHX is rising again and better than ever, boasting an impressive lineup of touring bands, local artisans, and world-class cuisine. We spoke with Matt Baquet, a key organizer of the festival with Best Life Presents, to talk about what makes this festival truly one-of-a-kind and what people can look forward to with the resurgence of VIVA PHX this October. ✍️ Joe Barans https://lnkd.in/grCJv7T5
