Scottsdale, AZ

 

Mrs. kept mixing up Prescott and Scottsdale, and while they both have "Scott" in their name, they are otherwise very different. When you're in Scottsdale, you're in the big city. It was an interesting coincidence that across the street from our hotel was this mysterious blue spire. We had no idea what it was but later learned that it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as part of his proposed and rejected 1957 plan for a new Arizona state capitol. The spire was built in 2004 as an homage to FLW's legacy in the area. By coincidence we were taking the tour of Taliesin West the next morning and it was one of the first things the tour guide discussed.

  1. I am not confused about the cities, only accidentally say the wrong name.
