The Duce
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 
We have a new addition to downtown Phoenix and I think it's going to quickly become a favorite of mine. The Duce is a clothing store, 1915 soda fountain, 1920's coffee bar, lounge, restaurant (the kitchen is a 1965 trailer), news stand, farm stand and old school gym creatively united in one space. There's even a set of bleachers from St. Mary's High School gym where you can sit and watch cartoons. You might want to bring the kids! It's located in a 1928 warehouse which originally housed Anchor Manufacturing Company. Since so many of the warehouses in this district are on the endangered list, it's great to see this one saved. Hopefully, more of them will share the same fate.

Here in Cincinnati we have a lot of endangered warehouse too, I hope they can turn some of those into something like this, its lovely and functional.
I like the classic feel to it -- really original.
