Having spent most of the past week in Memphis TN on business (with nightly blues pilgrimages to Beale Street => http://www.bealestreet.com/wordpress/ ), needed to stretch the legs and soak up some "outdoors".

Curiosity about a Frank Lloyd Wright disciple, Paolo Soleri, and his "Arcosanti" architecture/ecology urban fusion experiment just north of Cordes Junction (check out => http://www.arcosanti.org/ and http://www.archdaily.com/159763/paolo-s ... ge-of-man/ ) was our agreed primary destination with a back-up plan to visit the Richinbar sites. Packed up the F-150 and Lynn and I were off to explore!

I see that Arcosanti is a "mixed-bag" as reported by previous visitors => http://www.yelp.com/biz/arcosanti-mayer-2 Let's just say my opinion is "conflicted"...
