I've been involved with the Deer Valley Community Center programs for some time, and while it used…read moreto be a great place for kids and families, unfortunately things have taken a step backward recently. * New rules and policies have been implemented that seem to take away from what once made the program strong. * The focus doesn't appear to be on true player development, but rather on accommodating complaints from parents. * Leadership does not seem receptive to constructive feedback, nor do they incorporate changes based on input from coaches or families. This is disappointing because the center has so much potential and has historically provided a positive environment. Hopefully, the program will take feedback more seriously and return to prioritizing growth, fairness, and development for all players.

It's next to an elementary school which may explain the many students there. It was refreshing to see so many youth hanging at the library. Lots of computers to use and a printing station. Librarians are welcoming and I was able to sign up for a library card quickly and she showed the many digital apps that come with membership to get free ebooks and streaming services. My kids were looking for Demon Slayer series which they didn't have but they do have a larger manga section that I anticipated. Overall, it's a lively and welcoming library that I recommend. I rented some early 2000s shows on DVD.

I've always been a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, America's preeminent architect. And it's nice that he…read morehas made an impact on Phoenix. While he has properties all across the U.S., he's most well known in Phoenix for Talisien West. While Frank Lloyd Wright Spire isn't as extensive, it makes for a fun mini adventure. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble finding a free parking spot in the entertainment center where the Spire is located. Naturally, it's right off of Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. If you're trying to find where to park, look for Maggiano's. The Spire was actually intended to be part of the State Capitol Building (another cool place to check out). Instead, it ended up in North Scottsdale. It's a large spire that stands out due to it's geometrical design and color scheme. While I saw it during the day, it's also nice to visit at night (when it lights up) or around the holidays (when an elf is attached to it). Outside of the spire, you have a good number of interesting sculptures designed by one of FLW's pupils. There's also a nice water fountain and bench area designed by another pupil. You can see FLW's influence in frequent uses of symmetry. And last but not least, there's a little tablet telling you a little bit about the spire and sculpture garden. This experience is free and can be done in about 10 minutes. I still have a few FLW spots to check out in town. On to the next one!

We were driving to Cosanti and I wanted to stop here to check it out. My favorite part of Taliesen West is the sculpture garden with sculptures by Heloise Crista. The good thing about this location is you can see a couple of the same sculptures for free. The archer near the fountain is very memorable and I took a picture of it for a friend who visited TLW with me and he instantly remembered it.  The spire itself was draped with a blow-up elf for the holidays and it was distracting. It was originally meant for Arizona State Capitol. It's odd its just placed on a street corner though I can see why its probably the best location for it. The spires at the Marin County Civic Center and the Anderton Court Shops are integrated into his architecture and feel a lot more appropriate. Overall, it was quick free stop for FLW fans, no one else was there in the afternoon. You can see a wider breadth of the Crista Sculptures at Taliesen West and there are better FLW spires that are part of his buildings.
