The 35th fabric store is called 35th Av. Sew and Vac. It actually is on street called Northern and store is on the other side of 35th Av. Not far off I17 freeway. Downtown Glendale Az there is fun shopping for arts, antiques and this and that sort of stores. Good restaurants there too. Old town Scottsdale is always fun to walk around. It is quite a place but pricy. Camelback Square is a wonderful shopping center with lots of trendy stores. Downtown Phx has the Phx Art Museum. And then a drive up to Carefree and Cave Creek is a fun way to make a big circle of north Maricopa County. Traveling to the Grand Canyon from Phx will be about 3:30 min. one way. You will drive up I17 to Flagstaff (another fun place walk around) and then further north to the canyon. It is a long "day" trip. I would suggest you spend the night in Flagstaff and drive down to Phx the next morning. I could go on and on - hope this helps. Marcia
