dj snow Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 This weekend at Tempe Beach Park here in Arizona was "A Taste of Greece." The concept doesn't require too much explanation: Outdoors. Food tents. Vendors. Beer and wine. A band playing. Some rides. I stopped by for some lunch. Now with that out of the way, enjoy the pics! Finally, after my lovely Greek repast, it was time to head back to the US Airways World Headquarters parking garage. Farewell, Greek festival! Maybe I'll stop by again next year! For dessert I had this tasty treat. Of course I don't have to tell you its name: Galatobouriko! Just a couple minutes later, I had my delicious gyro! And a Diet Rite, of course, since like Castles 'n Coasters, RC products are served here! ...so I got in line. I thought a gyro sounded good... My mission today was to grab lunch and get out! Here we see the seating area, and some of the tents. Finally, there was a big area of inflatable stuff. This was as close as I got. And here's the Sizzler, one of the rides on my "Do Not Ride" list. They also had a Wisdom Tornado! Wow! How often do you see one of THOSE? They also had some more thrilling rides, such as this Star Trooper. It resembled a high-speed Paratrooper. They had some kiddie rides set up. US Airways kept a watch on the little ones. Right across the street is Tempe Beach Park, which is where the festival was held! $2.00 to get in? Highway robbery! My destination upon arrival in downtown Tempe was US Airways World Headquarters! I parked for free in their garage.
Rollerholden Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Mmm food. I hope you rode the Tornado! P.S. - Where was the beach?
crazyrider06 Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Nice pictures, that gyro looks sooo bangin!! lol
niiicolaaah Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I LOVE Greek food. And Wisdom Tornados! Thread delivers!
Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I've only heard of Diet Rite, never seen Regular Rite. dj, do you go to ASU?
dj snow Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Mmm food. I hope you rode the Tornado! Sadly, I did not ride any rides. I was only there for the food. And I agree: Mmm. P.S. - Where was the beach? Oh, it's a couple hundred feet down the way. I'm not sure that it qualifies as a beach in the traditional sense of the word, though. What the crap is Rite? There's no such beverage! Only Diet Rite exists. dj, do you go to ASU? No, but I don't live too far away from campus. Why--do you go to ASU? Thanks for the comments, everyone!
BarryH Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Great photos! I drank Diet Rite once. It gave me a headache while drinking it!
