Medlock Place Historic District AJ's Soups of The Day Friday, July 3 In the Bistro: • BBQ Pork • New England Clam Chowder     An historic neighborhood in Phoenix' North Central Corridor, Medlock Place is the Valley of the Sun's original suburban residential development. First opened to the public in 1926, Medlock Place was then 4 miles north of the edge of town. Today, many of the Medlock Place Historic District single family homes still reflect what Floyd Medlock, the area's first developer, billed as living amidst "city conveniences with country delights." 4th Of July At Steele Indian School Park     Music and fireworks again mark 4th of July celebrations at Steele Indian School Park. For the 24th year in a row the city of Phoenix is bringing an Independence Day celebration to residents. This year features five bands, food and beverage vendors, classic cars, and, of course, fireworks. Enjoy the light show from your back yard or join the sights at the park and cool off in the Fire Departments' water spray zone. Festivities start at 6 Saturday evening and end at 10. More info: Phoenix Parks & Recreation Census Takers Begin Counting Heads     Last April 1st they began. Exactly one year later, April 1, 2010, the Census Bureau will announce their results. Right now census takers are counting houses. By this summer they will be going door-to-door gathering information. Census takers will not be wearing a consistent uniform, but will display identification. They will also carry hand-held computers. The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution and is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years. Your participation in the census is required by law. The census should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census. Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute $300 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year. For questions call Peter Valenzuela, Assistant Manager of Field Operations, Phoenix Local Census Bureau Office at 602-427-0655.
