I wasn’t born when Pat Summerall was playing in the National Football League.  In his second career, however, he was among the very best.  As I embarked upon my […]

The Valley is nothing if not segmented — and then segmented within its segments. Take Scottsdale, for example. There’s Old Town, Arcadia, North Scottsdale, etc. Or what about the Southeast Valley?
