How the fields are irrigated.
A quickly vanishing site. Note the large home in the background.
Some street scenes around Queen Creek on a Saturday morning. Not a lot of walking going on.
Trucks spraying to keep the dust down. Dust is a huge problem around here because of construction.
More road construction.
Keep that dust down boys.
A view from Ellsworth near Ocotillo.
Looking south to the corner of Ellsworth and Ocotillo. This used to be the main intersection for the town of Queen Creek. They only recently put in a stop light. The city is in the process of redirecting the main traffic routes through the town. This corner is the main spot for day laborers to congregate. Some mornings we have from 50-100 day laborers gathered looking for work.
Sossaman & Ocotillo
New church constructed on Ocotillo.
Nortons Lounge on Ocotillo. This bar has an interesting mix of patrons from bikers to ranchers to day laborers. Nice dark bar. It gets crowded on the weekends.
New shopping plaza on Ocotillo and Ellsworth. Keeping the local economy safe with Karate & Dance Studios. If we don't get a scrapbooking place soon I just don't know how I will live.
Cricket, now there's a store we can't do without in Queen Creek.
Rudy's a local institution. Great burritos.
More construction going on.
New Super Walmart under construction.
Beautiful.
OMG, Staples is coming!
View of new shopping plaza looking west on Ocotillo. Before this was built it was an emply field where the day laborers hung out. While under construction they put a large chain link fence around the field. The day laborers used it to chain their bicycles up.
Queen Creek Village Center.
View looking east on Ocotillo towards the new Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse has been diverted several times in the past two years.
Looking east on Ocotillo.
That concludes our Saturday morning drive. See you in bumper to bumper traffic on Monday morning!
