QUOTABLE QUOTES ABOUT ROOSEVELT ROW
"Vibrancy can be measured with a seismograph. It can also be measured with a metronome. Both would be needed to gauge the potency of the most diverse art enclave in downtown Phoenix, Roosevelt Row."
-Forrest Martin, Phoenix Downtown Magazine, September, 2003
"PHOENIX
RISING...Prowl downtown and you'll find a booming contemporary art scene
that has grown amid old warehouses and storefronts...The art scene is at
its height now, with exhibit openings and organized gallery and studio
tours."
-Sunset, March 2005
"You
know the arts area along Roosevelt? That's kind of becoming an area."
-Jerry
Colangelo, quoted in The Business Journal
"Roosevelt's
a walking dead man..."
-Pete Petrisko,
quoted in Phoenix New Times

"Best Late-Night Dining Experience
Fate: The bars and restaurants closed hours ago, the Downtown crowds have
slowed to a trickle, and your stomach is complaining that it last got
fed on the previous calendar day. Just when it seems you’re doomed
to the drive-through, Fate intervenes. Open until 3 a.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays, Johnny Chu’s place, housed in a renovated Downtown bungalow,
serves-up lettuce wraps, vegetable-laden soups and chewy noodles. Better
still, the singular surroundings and crowds make the visit a much better
way to cap a long night than speaking into a clown’s mouth. And
your stomach won’t hate you in the morning. 905 N. Fourth Street,
Phoenix, 602-254-6424"
-Phoenix
Magazine Best of the Valley 2004
"Best
Place to See a Band You’ve Never Heard Of
Modified Arts: Remember college, when you’d roll your eyes at whatever
no-name band was taking the stage at your local hangout, and by the time
the set ended it was your favorite band ever? On any given night, Modified’s
booker, Leslie Barton, has scheduled rock, pop, punk, ska, electronica,
Christian hardcore, “low-fi country porch rock” (hell, this
is the place to see genres you’ve never heard of) by national and
local acts whose talents are thus far appreciated mainly by their girlfriends
and the four college kids who run their website. Love Is Red, U.S. Maple,
Jupiter Sunrise, Bark!Bark!Bark!, The Lindsay Diaries… who knows?
They could become your favorite band ever! 407 E. Roosevelt Street, Phoenix,
602-462-5516, modified.org"
