Good evening, COGS E-News Reader: Get re-acquainted with Scottsdale's Old Town by opening the two attachments. Together they are the Old Town map and specific store locations. Find those treasures in their stores or food varieties in their restaurants. PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MERCHANTS. Add to your stroll the fountains, public art, flowers and grassy areas of your Civic Center. Visit the "Little Red School House" just inside the western entry to Civic Center-Brown Avenue/Main Street. Take a stagecoach ride. Yes, look down and read the sidewalk map decals to guide your western experience. This is YOUR CITY---enjoy it. Don't forget to find that Scottsdale gift for those special people in your life.
