Eagle Scout offers residents assistance with picking citrus

TEMPE, Ariz. - A Tempe boy seeking his Eagle Scout designation has taken on a community service project to help elderly and disabled residents with harvesting citrus trees. The boy is available Sunday, April 20, to pick citrus trees for a limited number of Tempe residents for whom the project would be difficult or not possible. Picking citrus when it is ripe helps the entire community by not encouraging the proliferation of roof rats, which feed on citrus that has fallen to the ground.

To take advantage of this service, call Mary Anna Bastin 480-350-5190.

Light rail line brings new development in Tempe

April 01 , 2008 by Editor

While much of the country is experiencing an epic stalling of the housing economy, a new development is beginning construction along Tempe’s light rail line.

Equinox, a 408-unit apartment home property on Apache and McClintock, will open next year. Beyond placing residents on the light rail line and in front of a bus station, Equinox is surrounded by a Park and Ride lot of 956 spaces. This allows residents to drive to the level they live on a walk a very short distance to their home. It also makes it easy for residents of Tempe and the surrounding communities to park just a couple miles outside downtown Tempe and ride the light rail to special events, football games, their workplace, Arizona State University and the surrounding cities that are also on the light rail line.
