Retail Leakage Promoted by Wickenburg Sun

Posted by on August 8th, 2007

I sent this “letter to the editor” to the Wickenburg Sun on July 25th, after reading Mr. Cloe’s editorial about local shopping. He has not posted my article in the past two weeks, and I suspect that he never will. Can’t say that I’m surprised.

Here’s the letter:

Mr. Cloe:

I find your editorial submission “Responses to ‘shop local’ offer an interesting variety” to be interesting but predictable, considering the source.

What really strikes me is that, contained within your paper this week is a six page advertising section for Albertsons, a grocery chain that is not even located …

Date Creek Ranch

Posted by on June 22nd, 2007

Looking for a Family or Group Summer Outing?

Date Creek is your answer. The ranch is located along beautiful Date Creek, a riparian oasis within the Joshua tree-studded desert bisected by Highway 93 as it heads north from Wickenburg to Kingman.

Historically, Date Creek served as a resting spot on the roadway from Prescott, territorial capital, to population centers developing in the Phoenix valley and the Old Pueblo of Tucson. A reminder of the importance of this route is the protective presence of Date Creek Fort, a military outpost, the remains of which are several miles away from Date …

Interactive Map Now Available

Posted by on November 28th, 2006

Brett Gerasim at the Old Livery Mercantile on North Tegner has been working on an interactive map of Wickenburg’s downtown businesses. He was kind enough to send me a link to the resulting page: http://www.oldlivery.com/wickenburgmap.htm.

The map is pretty simple and works with the Google Map API. It clearly shows the locations — including addresses — for some popular holiday shopping spots. I’ll be putting a link to this map in

Yes, You Can Get Baked Alaska in Wickenburg!

Posted by on October 10th, 2006

My husband Mike and I wasted no time visiting Los Caballeros for a meal. We stopped in for Sunday Brunch, which is offered on Sundays from 12 to 2 PM. A buffet spread that includes salads, sliced meats and cheeses, two hot entrees, and desserts is set up in a sunny room overlooking …
