Carfree in Phoenix part 2

Posted on 10. Feb, 2010 by Tony Arranaga in News

In honor of Valley Metro’s Try 1 in 5 month, I’m showcasing the face of the carfree in Phoenix.  These days, living car-free is a conscious choice.  Whether you want to help clean the air, reduce congestion on the roads, or you want to get better acquainted with your city.  Urban professionals around Downtown Phoenix want to live car-free.

Cassandra Hunsdon, Manager, Smeeks

Cassandra bikes from Downtown Phoenix to the popular candy store on Camelback and Central five days a week.  Her pit stop along the way: Lux Coffeebar.  Cassandra says she enjoys riding through Steele Indian School Park on her way in because there’s less vehicle traffic.  If you haven’t been to Smeeks – you should check it out!  The store has a huge selection of old school candy.  (Remember Abba-Zabba?  Zots?)  Smeeks can also host birthday parties for kids or the kid in you.  For more information, click here.
