Tempe Fantasy of Lights

Last night, we enjoyed the Tempe Fantasy of Lights Parade on Mill Avenue. We go there each year to see the parade and to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree.

Here's a few blurry phone pics.

 Santa rides in on a fire truck! :)

Commercial real estate developer Michael Pollack always rocks the house with his huge lighted float / stage.

No respectable Arizona Fantasy of Lights parade is complete without Santa on a stage coach!

The Tempe Fantasy of Lights Parade is enjoyed by thousands of people.

What kind of Arizona parade is complete without is cream??

Next up is the Fantasy of Lights Boat parade on December 13th at Tempe Town Lake.

 "The annual Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade features approximately 50 festively-lighted boats of all sizes. After dark, more than 1,000 luminaria make the sidewalks and paths of Tempe Beach Park glow, a special display provided by Tempe South Rotary." Don't miss it!

New video showing some of the recent developments in Tempe. Interestingly enough, they barely scratch the surface in showing all of the new things happening in Tempe.

Tons of changes near downtown but south Tempe is adding buildings and jobs, as well. All of these new residents will soon be part of our community.

Yep, the times are a changing...

Tempe tear downs bringing BIG bucks to area

Wowza. There's a few BIG projects happening in South Tempe right now.

Someone recently paid just over $730k for a home on a large lot in a snazzy neighborhood and they plan to tear it down so that they can build a 16,489 square foot home.

This isn't the first big tear down project in the area lately and another monster of a home is being built just a few blocks west of this home.

Yeah, we are seeing a bunch of money entering some of these areas with large lots.

You know what they say about land... "They aren't making any more." Good to see that people with deep pockets have been buying real estate again. :)
