Mostly posted for
scrottie's benefit.
The Farmer Market has morphed. Again. It is essentially now a coffeeshop by day, a bar by night. I tried to go have lunch there, but apparently they are getting food starting up at the end of the month, so no luck. I will henceforth go there for coffee, instead of Cartel. Nothing in particular against Cartel, just, I'd rather continue supporting the Farmer Market.
I punted to the next plan, riding to campus and eating at one of the Charlie's. On my way, I couldn't help myself, I rode all the way down to 13th and Farmer.

The Farmer House still looks great, from the exterior. Neighbor G's former house next door looks barren and terrible, which is kind of no surprise because it has long been a Rentals Tempe property (why she moved).
I planted the tall, organ pipe-type cactus just to the right of the Farmer House walkway shortly after R and I moved in, in 2008. I love going back to visit and seeing that it's still there and thriving. Amazing that it's now taller than the tree right behind it.
I had that thought about killers revisiting the scene of the crime, while going back and taking photos of a former home, but after all, it's a natural impulse.
There have been changes on Farmer Ave, but overall the character remains the same.
The Charlie's in Hayden Library was closed, so I just went to a Qdoba in the MSU instead.
I appreciated spotting this on my ride to downtown Tempe this morning.
