Martha L.'s Profile

I adore everything about Made from the cute house to the creative jewelry and artwork for sale on the walls.  Plus, there is a door that connects to Eye Lounge (except on First Fridays).  The best part is that they sell all of the Fuzzy Balls line by Roy Wasson Valle, an awesome local artist.  

I've never walked out of Made without buying something, even if it's just a pin or a notecard.  Luckily, it's close enough to my office that I can pop in at lunch, especially handy around the holidays since 95% of the gifts I buy come from here.

Pop in, check it out...there is something for everyone.

I love Palermo's.  I usually go to their location on 67th Ave & Indian School and I'm never disappointed.  My husband and I went to this location yesterday for a couple of slices and a soda and it was really good.  The slices were huge and brought out to us on real plates with real silverware--very rare in a pizza parlor.  The slices could have been slightly hotter but they were delicious!  We'll be back.

I loved the Pink Spot.  I have been there a few times already.  The first time I had to try the Kona Coffee ice cream.  It was delicious and so I got it in a shake and walked around Roosevelt during First Friday cooling off with my delicious shake.  I, being the coffee addict that I am, went back for another shake a few days later.  Oh my, it is delightful.  A couple of weeks later my husband and I were lunching at Z Pizza and walked through the doorway connecting the two and got the Kona Mint Sundae.  It is a scoop of Kona (my favorite) and Mint Chocolate Chip (his favorite) with hot fudge & whipped cream.  It was perfect for sharing and was a tasty end to our meal.  

Also, they have a really neat lamp hanging up at the end of the counter by the register that looks like white mesh tubes tangled together.  I was really interested in it so I asked the girl behind the counter where it came from.  The owner was sitting at one of the tables so we talked about it.  He even told me where he bought it in (a store up near Kierland Commons) and we had a nice little conversation about the design.  

Pink Spot has a couple of new fans....

To Whom It May Concern:

Almost a year ago I purchased an AutoPage alarm from the Chronic location on Camelback Road in Phoenix for my Neon.  I was EXTREMELY HAPPY with the service and product I received.  The man that sold me the alarm was very nice, helpful and truthful.  He sold me the alarm and I carried it out that day.  We made an appointment for later in the week to get it installed.  I dropped my car off that morning at 5:00 and the car was finished that afternoon.  When I picked it up the installer walked me to my car and showed me how to use the remote (it is a remote start with an LCD screen and I had never had one like that before).  Due to my terrific experience with them I recommended that location to many, many people over the last year (I would say about 20-25 people and I know of at least 8 of them who purchased something from them).

However, when my husband got an alarm from them it was a completely different story.  The letter that I wrote to Chronic Customer Service as well as http://ripoffreport.com, ABC15 and AZ Family is so long that I cannot even post it here.  It is available on http://www.ripoffrepor... if you search for Chronic Car Audio.  To say that I am unhappy with my latest experience with them is putting it mildly.

To anyone considering purchasing something and having it installed at Chronic on Camelback Road or Glendale Avenue I ask that you read my letter first.  You will reconsider.

If I receive an acceptable response from Chronic I will be more than happy to post an update here.

This is the place that I go to de-stress, to do homework, to celebrate a happy occasion.  I will take any excuse to go here.  I love that when I walk in I am always greeted with a smile and that there is never attitude.  The baked goods are irresistible but the coffee is what keeps me coming back.  There isn't a better soy latte in the entire valley.  It is deep but mellow and never, ever bitter.  I love CSC!!
