Bookmans Flagstaff is starting the exciting process of local inventory acquisition today. Since the books can't come to Bookmans, Bookmans is going to the books (and DVDs, videogames, CDs, LPs etc)! We are very excited to be making house calls to get new inventory. Armed with our outstanding and knowledgeable buyers, a trade book and checkbook, we are ready to invade your home and take away the things you would normally have to bring to us! We are looking for all the regular stuff you’ve been hording, as well as the unique treasures you've been hiding in your garage or attic. Maybe you put off bringing that large item in because it was a hassle to transport? Well, now is your chance!

Deep in the pines and high in the mountains, in an undisclosed location somewhere in Flagstaff, Bookmans employees are working hard to prepare for the return of their beloved store. Inside this bat cave, folks are counting, stacking, grinding, pricing, inspecting, researching and every other imaginable task necessary to have a fully stocked new Bookmans store as soon as possible.

Bookmans is truly an amazing company. I didn't plan to start by saying that, but I feel as though it is something I have to say before I can even justify saying anything else about the company. The way Bookmans has jumped in and saved the employees of the Flagstaff store is nothing short of spectacular, and I cannot express the extent my gratitude.

What should be mentioned first in this review is that Dr. Mario is an old game, nearly as old as the video game addict writing this article. As such this game has to be taken as it is, its not one of the new flashy games with 3D graphics and enough color and depth to make your head cave in; this game is a classic.

Rain or shine, thousands of Phoenicians came out to visit the 2010 M7 Street Fair! Awarded with the honor of “Best Neighborhood Street Festival” by the Phoenix New Times in 2009, the 9th Annual Melrose on 7th Street Fair was full of fun, family, and community! Starting on 7th Avenue and Indian School everyone walked down the street filled with a local market of artists, food, children's activities, live music, street performers, and a collectible car show. Walking down the street I spotted Kimber Lanning of Local First Arizona, Kathy Cano-Marillo, the “Crafty Chica” and local celebrity Brad Perry performing live music in front of Two Hippies Breakfast Joint. I tried so hard to resist the mouth watering smell of kettle corn, lemonade, and pulled pork sandwiches.

It is no secret that wolves in this country have endured their share of both legal and illegal persecution. Organized wolf management in the United States is longstanding, and has often targeted this animal as a hated opponent of human beings. While reading the history of management actions in the United States, one quickly comes to the conclusion that an all out war has been waged against this magnificent creature. Whether competition for food source, a danger to livestock, or inhibiting the increased sales of animals like moose, caribou, and sheep, wolves have, perhaps, been mostly viewed as a threat to our pocketbooks; a crime that management policies show is most consistently punishable by death.
