Free Summer Concert Series at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park

The 2008 summer concert series started last night at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, on the southeast corner of Indian Bend and Scottsdale Roads.  We walked down to the park and spent some time listening to 60 North play a mix of R&B and pop tunes, while enjoying the perfect weather.  The lawns were filled with families and food, while kids were crowding the stage wanting their turn to dance in the spotlight.

Arrive early, and bring a blanket or chair.  Overflow parking is in the shopping center to the north. 

Concerts run every Sunday, through mid-July, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. 

The Rest of the Line-up:

May 18: Groove Merchants (Big City sound with hot horn section)
May 25: Mogollon (High energy country)
June 1: The Hamptons (Early Rock n' Roll to today's hits)
June 8: Rock Lobster (Retro 80's)
June 15: Furious George (Current rock tunes with classics)
June 22: North (Mix of Classic rock and contemporary hits)
June 29: Affinity (Party/Swing/Variety)

If you are into historical reports, market trend, and forecasting, I think you might really enjoy them.

    Arizona's Homebuyer's Bill of Rights

    Earlier this week, at the State of the State Address, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano announced a Homebuyer's Bill of Right, which is now available and gives home buyers information about roads, water, police and fire services, and more.   You can find a copy of the Homebuyer's Bill of Rights at the Arizona Department of Real Estate web site

    In some ways, this Bill of Rights is very similar to the Arizona Buyer's Advisory, a resource that I share with all home buyers to use as a research tool when buying a home.  However, the new document has many more links for the whole state of Arizona, and gives buyers even more data to make a smart, informed home buying decision.  It's worth checking out.
