Remembrances in Phoenix in the 1980s and 90s
around 18th street and Camelback Rd.

How much does a tree change, standing day to day?

make room for a newer strip mall.)

Squaw Peak Mountain (it was less popular back then, so more accessible)

Pic above (c. October 1981): Squaw Peak as seen (looking northward, roughly)  from the middle landing of the
stairway at the then Valley National Bank at about 17th Street and Medlock. The neighborhood houses
(torn down a couple decades ago) are all gone now to make room for a midrise living area.

landing of the stairway at the then Valley National Bank at about 17th Street and Medlock. The neighborhood
houses (torn down in 1986 to make way for the Squaw Peak Parkway) are what was then the cul de sac of
Pasadena Street between 18th Street and 17th Place.
