Interesting Items In The Area

Here are some of the interesting items that caught my eye during the past week.

While walking through the local grocery store, there were some nice flower arrangements that made great close-up pictures.

Then while walking at our local indoor track,  it appeared like they were providing a ladder for the fast people to go outside for a rooftop walk.

The Cabela's store has some interesting displays.

And there's always something new to see at Walmart

Lay your head on this pillow.

Backscratchers?

Walk Around Another Walmart

There is a newer Walmart located in Surprise, Arizona.  Although most Walmart stores have pretty much the same merchandise and set up, there are always some neat photo opportunities if you concentrate on the close-ups.

AZ Capitol Building and Phoenix City Hall

Although the temperature got to 110 degrees today, it was nice enough to see a few sights in the downtown Phoenix area.  The mall to the east of the capitol has some interesting monuments.  There is a museum in the old capitol building but it is pretty limited in features--mostly just signs about AZ history plus some artifacts from the USS Arizona. There was free parking in the area and not much activity due to the upcoming holiday weekend

I then found some street parking near the Phoenix city hall.  There is a police museum in the old city hall.  The Wells Fargo museum and the Orpheum theater are nearby.  The new city hall also has some interesting exterior features plus a water fountain next to it.

 Tribute to fallen officers.

 Phoenix was the location of the original Miranda Case decision
