With classes hitting a crunch point, and no free time to go out perusing cute boutiques and shops, Internet shopping during homework breaks seems like the best answer to keep a person sane during all the craziness of midterm week. Now, since I know many of you are into shopping locally (as we all should be), I thought it would be nice to tell you about some of the local stores surrounding downtown Phoenix where you can purchase from them online (you know, during those mid-term study breaks).
Tammie Coe Cakes, one of my favorite sandwich shops, is just down the street from the ASU downtown campus, and is the perfect place for an afternoon lunch date.

When CityScape opened last year, it seemed to be the long-awaited shopping center that the downtown area craved for. Well, to some standards it may not be completely up to par yet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some sweet shopping right now. Among the best shops is Urban Outfitters, a trendy clothing store that many ASU students may already be familiar with because of their Mill Avenue location. This new location though offers a different and more laidback vibe than the Tempe location, and I feel like you’re always bound to find something you’ll like there.
Nestled along downtown’s Roosevelt Row, is a store that will make you want to join the handmade and vintage lifestyle—the GROW-Op Collective.

Over this past weekend, I was wracking my brain to figure out what my second post for the week would be about. I started thinking to myself about what is important to me as a functioning student, and then it came to me: BREAKFAST. Now, I know not everyone is a morning person, but being a student is a big job and I think every day before someone attempts to do any of their school work they should eat a good breakfast. So here is a list of five places in downtown Phoenix where you can demolish your morning hunger.
Recently I took a drive down 7th Avenue in Phoenix to explore all the cute shops that line the road between Indian School and Camelback Roads. Among the many shops I ventured around in was the ever so cool Retro Ranch, an antique store that specializes in mid-century modern furniture and vintage clothing.
The other day, I was venturing around in the Grand Avenue District and decided to make a stop at Copper Star Coffee for a mid-afternoon coffee break. The shop is set up in an old gas station and lines one of the sweetest, homiest neighborhoods I’ve ever seen.
Awhile back I was introduce to Mercantile through my former journalism teacher Carrie Wheeler. The way Carrie described this boutique/hair salon made it seem like it was a very hush-hush place, I believe speakeasy is the word she used, but now they are in plain view and welcoming everyone to come check out their chic space.
Lately, I've been hearing so much about this honey vanilla latte that they serve at Giant Coffee. Well, the other day my curiosity got the best of me and I headed down the street to Giant to try it for myself.
Downtown Dispatch is back for a second semester and ready to tell you about so many great places to go to in the downtown Phoenix area. I am happy to be back, and I'm excited to share more hidden gems with you.
In high school, I was very anti-radio (I guess I still really am), and I listened to a lot of bands that were either local or too small to be on the radio. (I hope that doesn't make me sound like a music snob.) Anyway, most of the bands I wanted to see always played at a local venue called the Trunk Space. The Trunk Space is a tiny venue off of Grand and Roosevelt in Phoenix that caters to small bands, artists, and coffee drinkers. Unfortunately, in high school I never made it out to the Trunk Space, but as I got older, I still always heard about shows that went on there and stories from my friends that had went there.
A few weeks ago, another coffee-shop gem opened in downtown Phoenix: Jobot Coffee.
