The Berrock Shop
When I was a kid, businesses painted their windows with cool decorations for various holidays which brought a smile to my face. Now it’s something I rarely see. I was happy to see The Berrock Shop had their windows decorated for spring.

Sunnyboy Biscuit Company
I like this part of town where Sunnyboy Biscuit Company is located. Richard Alf one of the founders of Comic Con opened up a shop named Comic Kingdom in 1975. It was one of the first comic book shops I frequented and the second comic book shop in town. My mom visited a friend who lived on Park Blvd across the street from where Sunnyboy Biscuit Company is. I convinced her I needed to stop at Comic Kingdom which was only a few blocks from the bus stop. I loved those trips as her friend usually had plums and peaches growing on her trees. My body and mind were well fed.

Mamma Toledo’s The Pie Hole
I had my first apple pie when I was 4 and there was an old bakery 2 blocks from our Chinese laundry. Since then I’ve been on the lookout for a great pie. I was excited to try Mamma Toledo’s The Pie Hole on my last visit to Scottsdale.

Betty’s Pie Whole
Sand crunches beneath my feet. An old saloon is before me. Inside it’s cleaner than the saloons from the old Clint Eastwood westerns. Scent of pies fill the air. I take one home.
