The revitalization of downtown Phoenix brings more attention to the neighboring businesses located on Central & Monroe. This is also the location of the Hotel San Carlos, one of Phoenix's oldest and most notorious hotels. The rich and famous stayed there during the 50's & 60's. The hotel has a history for hauntings by those who have passed onsite. The hotel still is popular with toursists and hipsters looking to see and be seen at rooftop pool parties. Seamus McCaffrey's, a very popular Irish waterhing hole is right next door. This is the spot to be every year for the annual Irish Celebration on St. Patrick's Day!

Established in 1906, this cemetery is the oldest in Phoenix, which is still open. The mausoleums here are beautiful works of art inside and out.

I've always been intrigued by this cemetery, primarily by its size and age.

Seven different Arizona governors rest here along with Walter Winchell, a newspaper columnist credited with inventing the gossip column.
