Driving Scottsdale

February 3, 2009 szabogroup

Get your wheels in motion, and hit the road for a day of site-seeing through some the most magnificent scenery to be found anywhere in the world. From the moment you turn the key to your ignition, you will find yourself rambling through the quaint streets of Scottsdale then cruising full-speed along the mystical and majestic sites surrounding this great city. Pack your picnic basket full of wine, cheese and truffles, then hop in the nearest roadster for an unforgettable journey through Arizona’s pristine natural wonderland of mesas, lakes, wildflowers and canyons.

Once your camera is loaded and poised for perfection, cruise along Arizona 179 to Sedona. Here you will find yourself immersed in a new world of spectacular geography like nothing you’ve ever experienced. The red-orange colors of Sedona light the horizon with the intensity of firelight, and the grandiose rock formations cradle the city with triumphant majesty.

Charming shops and tourist attractions line the streets of Sedona, inviting visitors to enjoy the delectable tastes and artistic moods offered here. Whether you’re interested in trinkets or fine art, Sedona has something for everyone.

Scottsdale Fashion Week

January 28, 2009 szabogroup

Scottsdale is known for its Art Walks. These weekly events give locals a chance to appreciate art in every form; pottery, painting, sculpting, crafts, and the list goes on. Once per year, however, another form of art comes around with an international interest: Scottsdale Fashion Week. Paris may be the home of fashionistas and New York City may be the most obvious choice for fashion in the United States, but no city can compete with the creativity and class of the Scottsdale Fashion Week.

From November 6^th to the 9^th over fifty individual fashion shows take place across two runways. This means that for five days, a fashion show is almost always available for viewing pleasure. Down on the Scottsdale Fashion Square, there are also additional designers to meet and samples to see while the shows take place. Unlike the more recognized cities, however, where fashion shows take place behind closed doors for VIPs only, Scottsdale makes Fashion Week available for anyone who wants to take part!

I may not be of the fashion set myself, but my wife reminds me every year of the amazing opportunities that come with Fashion Week. In addition to the actual shows, purveyors of fashion, design, beauty products, wellness products and activities, and spa treatments make themselves available across the city. Fashion Week is not just about the clothes; it’s an all-body experience.

Scottsdale Classic Futurity and Quarter Horse Show

Scottsdale Classic Futurity and Quarter Horse Show

One of the things I love about Scottsdale is how much we appreciate the outdoors. A person can go to any decent-sized city and find a few malls or a couple of noteworthy stores, but Scottsdale is a place to take advantage of nature. On October 2^nd, the

Scottsdale Classic Futurity and Quarter Horse Show will be an opportunity for residents to get back to nature while appreciating a nationwide collection of unmatchable horses.

This annual show brings over a thousand horses from around the country to this one location and provides the locals with the opportunity to appreciate good breeding and well-trained horses at their very best, without leaving the comforts of their own homes. Additionally, this gives any horse rider, breeder, or admirer the opportunity to start the season off right. This show is the first event to get the season started across the nation, so everyone turns out in top form. Whether the horses are the racers that will later be entered in the Kentucky Derby or merely breeders who offspring are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the best of the best in the equestrian set get their start right here in Scottsdale.

Sonoran Desert Days

January 19, 2009 szabogroup

Many people have seen the dry deserts of Texas and the oft-avoided deserts of California, and they associate deserts with desolation and despair. The Sonoran Desert, however, brings about a world of plant life and exotic animals that show how a desert, this desert to be precise, can introduce an interested person to a new world of life and vegetation.

As a sometimes-planter and an admirer of all botany activities, I encourage people most to appreciate the unlikely plants to be seen in the Sonoran Desert. These are not the traditional cacti of cartoons and the like, but instead these plants show new forms of cactus and new varieties of plants that thrive in unlikely areas. The Barrel Cactus breaks away from the typical pitchfork-style cactus, and the Prickly Pear attracts appreciative glances and weary touches. The Century Plant is another Arizonian favorite that attracts people interested in the unlikely and exotic flora of the Sonoran Desert.

Scottsdale Spas and Golf

December 31, 2008 szabogroup

Scottsdale is recognized as the world’s finest golf destination. Whether you are a professional or amateur golfer, every golfer wants to golf 365 days a year! More golf is about finding a city with the most of the big four, climate, quantity, quality and proximity. Scottsdale is all of these and more! We have nearly 200 outstanding courses in the area. No matter how committed you are to playing every course you probably can’t play all of them….

Now for the non golfing women with golf crazy men….we have spas!! There are a number of places to stay that have top notch courses and fabulous spas. Some of the best are the Boulder’s Resort, The Westin Kierland resort and spa, the Spa at Camelback Inn.

The Spa at Camelback Inn pampers and spoils beyond your wildest dreams! The have a Desert Honey Nectar Wrap that leaves you with skin of silk. When you are being spoiled, who cares how long he is out golfing??! The Golden Door Spa at the Boulders wraps you in ionized turquoise clay representing the Native American belief that turquoise is the color of positive energy, protection and self-confidence. I don’t know if this is so but I do know it feels fantastic! Ladies, I’m pretty sure that for every new course he finds, you can find a new spa or treatment!! Sounds like the perfect retirement to me!

Intro to Scottsdale

Scottsdale

What’s not to love about Scottsdale??!! Scottsdale is where east meets west! We are centrally located. You can head west and in an easy drive, be at the beach or a day drive south be in Mexico for some shopping and night life. My favorite is to drive north through the scenic Arizona Mountains to Flagstaff for snow boarding and skiing at or… better yet, 8 hours to Colorado for some of the best snow conditions in the United States! Oh, and the beauty and awe of the Grand Canyon can’t be missed! For the boating crowd,

What other city offers such a versatile lifestyle? Scottsdale is perfect for the active family! Whether you are drawn to outdoor activity, theatre, night life or sporting venues, Scottsdale has it all. It’s like living in a big city with a small town feel. It seems no matter where I go, I run into someone I know.

Our outstanding weather makes Scottsdale the ideal location for year round activity. During the summer months, my family and I hit all of the concerts, museums and theatre. In the winter we can hike and snowboard, what other city boasts that? I am from the mid-west and I love to ski without first digging out my driveway and installing the snow chains!

Scottsdale Has It All

December 10, 2008 szabogroup

The home of the Phoenix Suns serves as a concert and sports venue. Downtown Phoenix is being transformed into a hub for business, sports and the arts. Downtown Phoenix includes the Herberger Theater which invites patrons in for a brown bag lunch and performances. This is an awesome way to expose the kids to the arts. The restaurants are outstanding and plentiful, my favorite for date night with my husband.

The new City Hall wraps around the Orpheum Theater. Built in 1929, the theater was once considered the most luxurious playhouse west of the Mississippi. An $11million project has restored this theater to its impressive grandeur. This is a must see!

Local museums include the Heard museum of native American cultures and art, Arizona Science Center with 350 hands on exhibits for all ages, State Capitol Museum which includes legislative chambers and governor’s office, Hall of Flame houses the worlds largest exhibit of firefighting equipment. There are far too many museums to remember.

Scottsdale is known nationally as an art center. We have over 110 art galleries, many of which participate in out Thursday night Art Walk. Many galleries serve refreshments and provide maps. More information is available through the Scottsdale Gallery Association.
