The Arizona Daily Photo blogs do a theme day on the 15th of the month - I waited until today to find my picture for this month's theme - this is the entrance to a place called Inspirador, in Downtown Chandler; it's a place for parties, weddings, etc...
Now, I'm going to check out the other Arizona Daily photo blogs - you can too!
The Chandler Museum is free to the public - it's the white building in front, with the downtown branch of the Chandler library behind it

On the 15th of the month, the Arizona daily photo blogs do their own theme day - I got to pick this one, and I chose "old Arizona" - this was harder than I thought it would be! I finally settled on a photo of part of downtown Chandler, including one of the oldest stores still there, Saba's western wear. The downtown storefronts have been restored to look like their original selves, and it does give a nice sense of history to it.
The town of Chandler is really not very old - it started out when a veternarian, Dr. AJ Chandler, bought a bunch of land in 1891. He then subdivided his ranch, started advertising, and built up the little town of Chandler, outside of Phoenix. The center of town basically started around the site in the above photograph, beginning with the opening of the Hotel San Marcos in 1913. Chandler was officially incorporated into a town in 1920.

Every 1st of the month is a theme day at Daily Photo; June's theme is "my corner store"
I was very uninspired by this theme, because this is one area that is pretty pathetic in the suburbs - no quirky little corner stores to speak of! So, here is my bland contribution - our corner grocery store, where we do much of our food shopping.
I'm looking forward to visiting more interesting corner stores all over the world, and you can too!
Chandler has a nice mall called the Chandler Fashion Square; it's an indoor mall, but this is the courtyard right outside, by the movie theater and several restaurants; my boys enjoy this fountain, which is timed to do different things

Here's a close-up shot of the trunk of one of those vines from yesterday's photo; all tangled and gnarly

Here's another walkway at the San Marcos hotel; I love the old vines that grow up and over - I need to go back to see if they are in bloom!

The Hotel San Marcos was the first golf resort in Arizona; it is in downtown Chandler, next to nice shops and restaurants - here is one of the outdoor dining areas; I like the way the blue awnings make the area look nice and cool

Nice day to eat outside; this is the patio of Elmer's Tacos, where I featured the murals the last couple of days
