All Things 85284, 85283
Last night we got to learn more about the plans for the NW corner of Rural and Warner. he meeting went very well tonight. Thank you to everyone who came.
This was a preliminary meeting to share their vision with the community. It’s clear that they’ve put a lot of effort into making a destination spot. This development is promising. High quality and well designed. More deets to follow.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful spring. We’ve been very blessed this May to have cool weather. Here are some fun updates from the 85284:
South Tempe’s Jake Mace is giving his final garden tour on June 3rd and 4th, 2017 before summer blows through Arizona. Jake’s 1/3 of an acre “food forrest” garden has become the envy of many people here in Tempe, but also to tens of thousands of aspiring gardeners who enjoy his YouTube channel. Jake’s backyard will blow your mind. You had no idea that you could do this kind of gardening in Arizona!
All evidence of Circle K has been deleted on the NEC of Warner and Rural. We can only see a brick shell of a building ready to be rebuilt as a beautiful neighbrohood cafe. Chef Aaron will be opening up shop late in the fall.
As we reported earlier this year on Facebook. Verizon in fact opened up a on the NWC of Warner and McClintock in the old 7/11. It’s not the first choice to add to our community, but it’s an upgrade for sure.
We can finally let the news out! Chef Aaron Chamberlin is opening Tempe Public Market on the NE Corner of Warner and Rural in the empty Circle K gas station.
If you’ve been to Chef Chamberlin’s Phoenix Public Market downtown, you know that this is will be a cool neighborhood spot. The cafe has a little for everyone at all hours of the day.

From the Architect Christoph Kaiser:
“The second chapter of Chef Aaron Chamberlin’s “Public Market Cafe” is coming to Tempe Arizona in Spring 2017. A 3,190sf abandoned Circle K gas station is being transformed into the farm-to-table restaurant, and will be surrounded by vegetable gardens, a grand shade canopy, and a publicly accessible park with a community fire place. Reclaimed concrete from the existing parking lot will be re-used to create raised planting beds to grow plants for use by the restaurant and bar. Construction will begin in January 2017.”
