543516 Tue Jul 29 08:27:06 -0700 2008 5 6 Southwest 0 3910971 My boyfriend's brother in law is in rehab at Good Sam so we will be spending a few days a week there for the next 6 weeks. We live in the West Valley so we don't normally spend a lot of time in that area. Are there any good restaurants that we should try while we're down there? Last night we went to the Arizona Center and ate at My Big Fat Greek but the parking stunk so we probably don't want to do that again. Any suggestions?

There's usually plenty of parallel parking on the streets north of Van Buren.

Place links aren't working for me but I will try again... Fri Aug 01 10:06:08 -0700 2008 3910971 108446 sunshineinaz 1 3922032 Adding links...
