Conveniently located in a neighborhood with much chainlink fence topped with barbed wire, this laid-back, family-owned shop keeps prices low with all expenses spared on location and interior. Strain selection is a huge plus, owing to a steady stream of small, local caregivers and growers who experiment often; Obama Kush was particularly excellent here. There's an ATM with a fee onsite, and glass pipes are available.

Tyler Hurst

An alleged Twitter legend, Tyler Hurst is trying to figure out if he’s most like the blue, red, or green shell. He's worked with Seth Godin on the Domino Project, written for contact/kontakt, hosted the podcast StorytellersAZ, given a TEDxPhoenixSalon speech, produced CenPhoCamp, co-produced PodCamp and TechPhx, served as founding editor for the Downtown Phoenix Journal and Scottsdale Downtowner, and wrote a book called HipCider. He currently writes for WW, Potlander, and Thrillist.

Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
