Mill Avenue in Tempe - shopping, great restaurants, and a great place to people watch. As promised, here is the second part of my story and photos that I shared about our trip on the Light Rail on Veteran's Day: One of our stops was to 3rd and Mill Avenue. We hopped off and walked down Mill Avenue looking for a place to stop and eat. While we were in this mode, a man from a building came up to us and asked us what we were looking for and were we hungry. Apparently the place was just opening, and since it was set back from the sidewalk, we hadn't noticed it - and there weren't that many people there. We agreed to give it a try.
Very contemporary, th
e Regions Bistro and Bar was a delight. Our waiter, Dustin, was part 
of the reason, and the food was very good. We were able to view the people walking up and down Mill, and Dustin kept us company while we ate. He plans to be a singer someday, and loves working at this restaurant.
Along our way from Phoenix back to Tempe, and in Tempe on Mill Avenue, I'm sharing a view of Mill Avenue. Note the brick/coblestone walkway. Very quaint with a lingering atmosphere. 
One building that I have seen as long as I've lived in the Phoenix area is this one -but I don't know what it is. Anyone know? It's very large, perched on a hill, and has a gated entrance. 
I've looked all over and can't seem to identify it....maybe someone else can. Thanks to Deanne, this mystery building is the Tovrea Castle.
I'll end this for now, but suffice it to say that it was a spectacular day, and the Light Rail in Phoenix through Tempe and into Mesa is awesome!
