We and another several couples loved his music (and the dancing) and visited the place quite often. However we cannot think of the name of the restaurant. Does Archie remember?? Thanks..

Today, I am mourning the old Evolution Records on Camelback and Scottsdale Roads. Nothing special at all, but I still liked it better than the P.F Chang's which inhabits that corner now. There are just a small handful of classic Scottsdale office buildings left in that neighborhood, and believe me: I'm afraid to blink.

I used to imagine it was filled with scientists in white coats looking at coloful fluids in beakers 'n stuff. The two T-shaped dorm buildings at ASU were also fascinating to me. Luckily those structures are still around. I just thought of another cool building - the shell-shaped church over by Los Arcos Mall (long demolished).
