Downtown’s newest restaurant, Chloe’s Corner, opened last week in the CityScape plot formerly occupied by Oakville Grocery and business is already booming.
The lunch crowd on Wednesday was thick, with formidable lines at both at the coffee bar and the lunch counter. Good thing the new layout seemingly doubled the seating occupancy.
The eatery from Sam Fox and Ashly Young offers hot and cold sandwiches, salads, pizza, breakfast items, meals to go, and a few grocery items.
The coffee/wine bar has 50-cent cups of coffee and all the regular hot and cold beverage favorites, not to mention some wine and tap beers.

It’s sorta like a green and red flash mob, minus Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
Chipotle made its Grand Opening at CityScape today and, as expected, the reception was jubilant with the line often extending out the door. Chipotle is located on the corner of Washington and First Avenue, across from Jimmy John’s and Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It’s like the Pantheon of Popular Fast Food! Chipotle is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.
CityScape and NRG have again joined forces to bring skating to the most unlikeliest of places: Downtown Phoenix.
Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on November 15 to celebrate America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States. One day to educate and motivate. One day to get our neighbors, friends and community leaders excited about what can be accomplished when we all work together. One day to make recycling bigger and better 365 days a year.
The strength of the mixed-use development’s pull has never been more evident than with the imminent openings of three more eateries.
