So glad I found this old video. Scottsdale today in 2023 still looks the same, beautiful. The only exception is the Scottsdale Civic Ctr park. They tore it totally out, looks like they dropped a bomb on it. Stay away from it. Very depressing place to be.😊
I do miss Scottsdale! Lived there all 30yrs of my life until recently. It’s funny looking back through my memories cataloguing all the changes the city has been through and how some things manage to hang around aka Gilbert Ortega & Sugar Bowl still going strong, but never thought I’d see a group of Segways zipping along those streets. Fashion Square mall was where all of us wanted to hang out in elementary and middle school, but in high school everyone was hanging out in Old Town Scottsdale.
I've lived in Scottsdale for nearly eight years and this is the best walking tour video of Old Town Scottsdale I've seen yet! It's a lovely chill place in Arizona's Sonoran desert, one of the most lovely places in the Valley of the Sun, maybe the best!.
The shopping can be pricey in old town, so it brings out an older and more touristy crowd. You can find a younger crowd at night when they go out to the bars and clubs in Scottsdale. 👍🍻
Excellent video! Scottsdale Mall has hardly changed at all since I was last there three decades ago. Fifth Avenue has changed a little. Looks like all the empty lots in the neighborhood contain buildings now; but there are still tons of things I instantly recognize. I used to walk everywhere in this neighborhood several times a week. I'd guess that this was around 1 PM. It probably wasn't even 110° yet. Too bad it has such a hellhole of a climate.
this video was taken before the incredible drought period that has started since 4 years ago. All...ALL places in the southwest are almost totally out of water. There is almost no water in the Colorado or most of the Southwestern states' lakes.
@@CityWander okay, I was being sarcastic. But NOWA...now...there is very little water. Most of the water that is left, is designated for the rich and elites' golf courses and supermarkets and govmt facilities and the military FRACKING bases and oil establishments underground. It is not for most of the general public. there is even a Saudi Arabia owned farm that grows edible nuts and fruits and uses TONS of water, somewhere in California.
