Read this article from Phoenix New Times and decide if Jimbo Reid was crazy or spot-on. What do you think about Roosevelt Row's change in the last two years? What will it look like in 3 more years?

Roosevelt Row: The Fight to Keep Downtown Phoenix "Authentic" Is a Fight to Let It Become Something It's Never Been Jimbo Reid is pi**ed off. He's mad that there aren't any "cute chicks" today in Jobot, a coffee shop in an old house on Fifth Street. He's angry that the guy he's talking to on Jobot's cracked front porch keeps asking him about gentrification. He's fuming because the latte he...

5th Street updated their information in their About section.

It's always going to be Polar Pops and stencil art if we don't take pride in making the big events big. Let's have a good First Friday 5th Street!

Creative bike racks were abundant on 5th Street. The Lost Leaf had a buried park bench in their front yard, Hoodride had a variety of tacked and wire-tied racks around the perimeter, and Lawn Gnome Publishing made this 2x4 and window-guard rack before the City followed through with development plans and Grid Bikes came to the area. Which do you prefer for your community? When was your last bike stolen?

Space 55 is moving away from us. Catch the last production "Ear" by Ashley Naftule for the next two weeks before they relocate!

Ear | Space 55 The Space 55 Writer’s Group, (which brought us previous hits “Blue Galaxy”, “Night of the Chicken” and “Remote Control”) has produced yet another remarkable new play: Ashley Naftule’s “EAR”.

“We just felt that with everything going on in downtown Phoenix, somebody should step in and preserve the character of these two city blocks,” Kreipke says. Without sharing specific names, he praises the long-term efforts of people who've made Roosevelt Row a thriving destination" (Phoenix New Times).

What a great looking mural by Tyson Krank, oh wait, this article is not good news.

Things Didn't End Well for Roosevelt Row in Phoenix v. Arizona Here's what happened.

This is Adrian Fontes, and he has put years of long hours into making 5th Street a memorable place to live and work in. Whether he brought his family into eat breakfast at Jobot Coffee & Bar, singing mariachi at the Chile Pepper Festival, stocking shelves at Bodega 420, running for public office, Adrian showed us all that anyone from our neighborhood can change policy through living as an example, trusting people for help, supporting family, contributing to arts and culture, and putting your feet firmly into ideology you believe in. You can catch him these days as Maricopa County's Recorder.

This is Billie Speece, and she has put years of long hours into making 5th Street a wonderful place to live and work in. Whether she was making chai lattes at Jobot Coffee & Bar or running "The Letter Writing Society" at Lawn Gnome Publishing, Billie always does what she loves, and the result is that nothing she does is less than amazing. She loves hot dogs, rides bikes, plays with small dogs, wears costumes that somehow incorporate facial hair, and appreciates sewing machines and board games. You can catch her these days over at Jobot still serving the community, and keeping it weird.

Check out the panoramic video of 5th Street today by our local reporters at Downtown Devil.

Fifth Street: A year in review Fifth Street has faced many changes since August, when the first round of closures began with Five15 gallery and Lotus Contemporary Gallery.

It is amazing to see the transformation The Lost Leaf has gone through in the last decade! Taken from their Instagram account , this photo shows what it looked like as a residence and what it looks like today with the finished front patio.

What?! Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti once played at Modified Arts? What even happens in there now?

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti at the Modified Arts - Phoenix, AZ

Remember when The Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts used to happen on 5th Street? Floats where made out of anything artists could get their hands on! Too bad the new students at ASU couldn't get enough gumption to make it happen like this today. Too bad the developers didn't plan for encouraging this decade old tradition to continue when they moved in!

Remember when Conspire looked like it was going to be called "Rainbow Unicorn Cafe"?

The graffiti mural-covered brick walls have been lathered with several solid coats of blue p...
