>> Ted: THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE TO LEVELS NOT SEEN SINCE THE GREAT RECESSION AND THE PRIDE FESTIVAL SET FOR THIS WEEKEND AT STEELE INDIAN PARK.

A NEW EXHIBIT AT THE TEMPE INDIAN MUSEUM FROM SIGNAGE OF LOCAL BUSINESSES.

>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO"ARIZONA HORIZON."

I'M TED SIMONS.

FORMER NAVAJO NATION, JONATHAN NEZZ MANS TO CHALLENGE ELI CRANE IN ARIZONA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

HE PLANS TO RUNS A A DEMOCRAT IN THE HEAVILY REPUBLICAN DISTRICT FOR VOTING TO REMOVE THE VOTING SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE WITH NO REPLACEMENT.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES WHO TAKE US TO THE BRINK OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN JUST TO PROVE A POLITICAL POINT.

THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT COVERS NEARLY ALL OF NORTHERN AND EASTERN ARIZONA.

>>> THERE IS STILL NO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND A PLANNED VOTE TOMORROW WITH OHIO REPRESENTATIVE, JIM JORDAN, THE FRONTRUNNER WHO STILL REPORTEDLY DOESN'T HAVE THE VOTES.

STILL, JORDAN TODAY EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE.

>> IT WILL GO TO THE FLOOR TOMORROW AND NOT ABOUT PRESSURING ANYBODY, BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SPEAKER.

YOU CAN'T OPEN THE HOUSE AND DO THE WORK OF THE MEMBER PEOPLE AND HELP OUR DEEREST CLOSEST FRIEND ISRAEL.

YOU HAVE THE VOTE TOMORROW AND WE'VE SET IT FOR 12:00 AND I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

>> WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE BALLOT AND WE'LL ELECT THE SPEAKER TOMORROW.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN.

>> Ted: IF JORDAN DOESN'T GET THE NEEDED VOTED TOMORROW, REPUBLICANS WILL BE BACK AT SQUARE ONE TWO WEEKS AFTER REMOVING KEVIN McCARTHY AS SPEAKER.

>>> THE FEDERAL JUDGE TODAY ISSUED A LIMITED GAG ORDER ON FORMER DONALD TRUMP AND THIS INVOLVES TRUMP'S ELECTION SUBVERSION CASE.

TRUMP HAD BEEN WARNED ABOUT MAKING INFLAMMATORY COMMENTS ABOUT THOSE INVOLVED IN THE PROCEEDINGS, A WARNING TRUMP IGNORED.

THE JUDGE TODAY ORDERED TRUMP AGAINST COURT PERSONNEL, POTENTIAL WITNESSES AND SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH AND HIS TEAM.

THIS IS NOT ON WASHINGTON OR THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

>>> AN ARREST MADE OF A STABBING OF A 6-YEAR-OLD PALESTINIAN BOY.

THE MOTHER WAS ALSO TARGETED AVENUE SERIOUSLY INJURED AS WHAT IS INVESTIGATED AS AN ANTI-MUSLIM ATTACK.

A 70-YEAR-OLD MAN IS IN CUSTODY ON FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AND THE FBI WARNED THAT REPORTED THREATS ARE ON THE RISE AGAINST MUSLIMS AND JEWS IN THE U.S. DUE TO VIOLENCE THIS THE MIDDLE EAST.

>> WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN REPORTED THREATS TO THE GROUP IN THE KEVIN STITT AND MOVING UNITED STATES AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH JOINT TASK FORCES TO ENSURE THAT TOGETHER WE STAY LASER FOCUSED ON MITIGATING THREATS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AND CONTINUED SHARING INTELLIGENCE TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE.

>> Ted: CNN REPORTS FIVE UNITED NATION'S TRUCKS ENTERED GAZA FROM THE BORDER WITH EGYPT.

THE FIRST ENTRY OF FUEL TRUCKS SINCE THE HAMAS ATTACK ON ISRAEL SINCE SEPTEMBER 7th.

THIS COMES AFTER WIDE-SPREAD APPEALS TO ALLOW AID INTO GAZA WHICH HAS BEEN PUMMELED BY THE RESPONSE BY HAMAS.

ISRAEL CONTINUES TO KEEP THE COAT, COMPLETE SIEGE ON GAZA BLOCKING SUPPLIES OF FUEL, ELECTRICITY AND WATER FROM THE TWO GAZA BORDER CROSSINGS.

>>> EVICTIONS IN MARICOPA COUNTY ARE ON THE RUSE AND WHILE NOT EVERY EVICTION RESULTS IN A HOUSING LOSS, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR TENANTS TO HAVE A PLAN AND WE WELCOME JUDGE ANNA HUBERMAN, THE PRESIDING JUSTICE OF THE PEACE FOR MOUNTIE.

WELCOME TO "ARIZONA HORIZON."

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> Ted: WE'RE SEEING CONTINUING EVICTIONS IN MOUNTIE AND MARICOPA COUNTY.

THEY'RE INCREASING AND WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> SINCE THE PANDEMIC, WE WERE CONCERNED THERE WERE WOULD BE A RISE IN ADDICTIONS AND THAT HAS HAPPENED MORE SLOWLY THAN WE PRESIDENTED BUT THE LAST COUPLE OFMANS, THE EVICTIONS HAVE BEEN RISING MORE AND MORE.

>> Ted: WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

>> THE PRICE OF RENT.

RENT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND EVEN FOLKS WHO CAN'T PAY THEIR RENT LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK PAYCHECK AND THAT LEADS TO EVICTION.

>> Ted: IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE HEARING IN COURT, THOSE KINDS OF STORIES?

>> ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE THEY LOST A JOB OR HAD A SICK FAMILY MEMBER OR THEY HAD TO TRAVEL BECAUSE SOMEONE DIED OUT OF THE STATE OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> Ted: SO THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS A MAJOR FACTOR HERE, IS IT NOT?

>> YES.

>> Ted: AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS OF EVICTION BECAUSE FOR A LOT OF US, WE'RE NOT SHARE HOW THIS WORKS.

YOU MISS A PAYMENT, COUPLE PAYMENTS AND HOW MANY PAYMENTS BEFORE THIS THING THE WHEEL STARTS TURN.

>> ONE PAYMENT IS SUFFICIENT.

THE LARD HAS TO GIVE A TENANT WHAT WE CALL A "FIVE DAY NOTICE WERE" TELLING THEM HOW MUCH THEY OWE IN RENT AND THEY HAVE FIVE DAYS TO PAY WHAT THEY OWE AND THEN IF THEY DON'T, THEN THEY TERMINATE THE LEASE AND CAN BRING THEM TO COURT.

>> Ted: SO IF THE RENT IS DUE ON THE 30th AND I'M I DON'T GET IT ON THE 30th, I CAN GIVE FIVE DAY'S NOTICE?

>> RIGHT.

RENT IS USUALLY OWED ON THE FIRST AND ON THE SECOND, THEY CAN TECHNICALLY GIVE YOU FIVE DAYS.

IF IT'S DELIVERED IN HAND BY THE SEVENTH, THEY CAN FILE COURT PAPERS ON THE EIGHTH.

>> Ted: WHEN THEIR FILED, HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE?

>> LESS THAN A WEEK.

>> Ted: LESS THAN A WEEK?

>> YES.

>> Ted: HOLY SMOKES!

THAT'S FAST.

>> USUALLY NOT THAT FAST BUT BY THE THIRD WEEK OF THE MONTH, AFTER THE 20th, IS WHEN OUR EVICTEVICTION CALENDARS GET BUSY.

>> Ted: THE EVICTION CAN BE RENDERED -- ALL IN ALL, YOU COULD BE OUT OF THERE IN WHAT?

>> 20 DAYS.

>> Ted: DO YOU SEE THAT OFTEN?

>> WE SEE IT OFTEN ENOUGH.

>> Ted: LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, WITH SO MANY MORE EVICTIONS HAPPENING, ARE YOU SEEING LANDLORDS BEING MORE PATIENT, BEING MORE SPREAD OUT OR DO YOU SEE THE OPPOSITE, THAT THE PATIENCE HAS RUN THING, JUST IN GENERAL?

>> SO YOU KNOW, DURING THE PANDEMIC, THIS WAS A LOT OF MORATORIUM AND PEOPLE WEREN'T ABLE TO BE EVICTED AND IT WAS COMMONCOMMON WHERE SEVERAL MONTH RENTS WERE OLD.

WHEN IT WENT BACK TO JUST FILING AFTER ONE MONTH WAS OLD, IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A SHOCK.

WE WEREN'T USED TO IT.

BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON, THAT THEY FILE WITH ONE MONTH OF RENT OWED.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

AREAS THAT HAVE A LOT OF APARTMENTS, I IMAGINE, WOULD BE FOCAL POINTS.

>> ROUTE.

RIGHT.

WE GET A LOT OF EVICTIONS AND SOME OF THE LARGEST S APARTMENTS IN THE VALLEY, SO THAT ALSO DOES IT.

IT'S WEST PHOENIX, AVONDALE AND PARTS OF BELLEVILLE.

GLENDALE.

>> Ted: WHAT RECOURSE WOULD A RENTER HAVE AND IT WON'T BE A SHOCK TO THEM, BUT WHAT RESOURCE DO THEY HAVE?

>> THE TRUTH IS THAT, ANYONE CAN PAY AND STOP THE EVICTION AND EVEN THOUGH THE FIVE-DAY NOTICE GIVES SOMEONE FIVE DAYS TO PAY, THE TRUTH IS THAT THE LAW ALLOWS YOU CAN PAY ALL THE WAY UP BEFORE THE JUDGMENT IS SIGNED.

THERE WOULD BE MORE COST INVOLVED IN YOU WAIVED, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS PAY AND THE LAW REQUIRES THE LANDLORD TO REINSTATE THE LEASE.

BUT, OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU COULDN'T PAY THE RENT AT THE FIRST OF THE MONTH AND NOW BY THE 20th, YOU OWE ATTORNEY'S FEES AND LAWSUIT LATE FEES, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT EASIER.

>> Ted: TO YOU SEE PEOPLE TRYING TO PAY IT DOWN?

>> I DO.

PEOPLE WILL HAVE PART OF THE RENT AND NOT ALL OF IT AND THE LANDLORD WILL NOT TAKE A PARTIAL PAYMENT BECAUSE IF THEY DO, THEN THEY CAN'T BRING THEM TO COURT.

>> Ted: BUILDING.

INTERESTING.

>> BUT AFTER COURT, THE LARD LANDLORD CAN MAKE AN AGREEMENT IF THEY'RE WILLING WITH THE TENANT AND OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MANY TIMES, LANDLORDS DO MAKE AGREEMENTS WITH THE TENANTS.

>> Ted: CAN A LANDLORD SAY, NO, I DON'T WANT A LITTLE BIT.

I WANT IT ALL OR NOTHING?

>> REUT.

THE LANDLORDRIGHT.

>> Ted: WHAT ABOUT MEDIATION?

>> WE DON'T DO MEDIATION IN MARICOPA COUNTY.

THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MEDIATION IN TUCSON, BUT THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT COURT STRUCTURE.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO WAYS THAT WITH CAN ESTABLISH SOME KIND OF MEDIATION OR PROGRAMS TO HELP TENANTS IF MARICOPA.

>> Ted: YOU'RE NOT A REAL ESTATE EXPERT, BUT IS THERE ANY THOUGHT THIS WOULD EASE A LITTLE BIT OR THE AFFORDABILITY, LACK OF AFFORDABILITY, DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THIS WILL EASE UP ANYTIME SOON?

>> I DON'T SEE IT STOPPING ANYTIME SOON, BUT AT SOME POUND, IT WILL REACH A MAXIMUM POINT WHERE IT WILL HAVE TO TOP.

>> Ted: THE MARKET WILL DICTATE IT.

>> RIGHT.

>> Ted: JUDGE ANNA HUBERMAN, GOOD INFORMATION AND GOOD TO HAVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.

>> Ted: UP NEXT, DETAILS ON THE 40th ANNUAL PHOENIX PRIDE FESTIVAL.

>> RAISES FUNDS FOR LGBTQ PAPS AND WE WELCOME BACKING JEREMY HELFGOT.

YOUR WEBSITE SAYS 40 AND YOU'RE TELLING ME 42.

>> IT'S 42 HAPPENING IN 1981.

>> Ted: WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

>> TO CELEBRATE THE LGBTQ + COMMUNITY AND CULTURE IN ARIZONA WHICH HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES.

IT'S A CELEBRATORY ATMOSPHERE AND WE'RE BRINGING THE EXPECT TOGETHER FOR ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, FUN AND A WONDERFUL CROWD AND CELEBRATE THE SUCCESSES WE'VE HAD IN FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS AND QUALITY.

>> Ted: HOW MUCH OF A CROWD ARE YOU EXPECTING?

>> MORE THAN 50,000 PEOPLE AND ANOTHER TEN THOUSAND PLUS SPECTATORS SUNDAY MORNING.

>> Ted: WOW, TEN THOUSAND PLUS, THAT'S A LOT OF FOLKS.

HOW HAS THIS EVENT CHANGED OVER THE YEARS?

>> THIS HARKENS BACK TO 1981 WHICH WAS A GRASS ROOT'S EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS.

THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND IT WAS TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING THEIR TRUE SELVES AND DESERVE THE SAME DIGNITY AS EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY.

IN THE FOUR DECADES SINCE, IT'S GROWN TO A MASSIVE CELEBRATION THAT WELCOMES ALLIES AND EVEN PEOPLE NEW TO THE COMMUNITY EXPLORING THE CULTURE OR COMING FOR THEIR FIRST TASTE.

WE WELCOME EVERYONE.

>> Ted: SUPPORT FROM CORPORATIONS, LOCAL BUSINESSES AND HOW MUCH HAS THAT CHANGED OVER THE YEARS?

>> WE HAVE INCREDIBLE PARTNERS LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY WHO MAKE THESE EVENTS POSSIBLE BUT WHO STAND UP.

WE VET THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE PARTNER WITH TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT JUST WRITING A CHECK ONCE A YEAR AND THEY'RE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY IN THEIR HIRING PRACTICES AND IN THE WAY THEY MANAGE THEIR LGBTQ + AND WE'RE LOOKING CLOSELY AT THOSE PARTNERS FINDING PEOPLE WE'RE WORKING WITH YEAR ROUND, NOT JUST WHO ARE COMING IN FOR A WEEK AND GETTING A TASTE OF THE COMMUNITY AND LEAVING.

>> Ted: THE EVENT IS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE ABOUT CONTINUING CIVIL RIGHT'S BATTLE FACING OUR COMMUNITY.

TALK ABOUT THE STATES OF THE LGBTQ AND IN THE PHOENIX AREA.

THERE >> WE'VE SEEN PUBLIC POLICY ATTACKING RIGHTS AND QUALITY, PARTICULARLY THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH HAVE COME UNDER ATTACK AND THE DRAG COMMUNITY HAS COME UNDERFIRE AND THANKFULLY GOVERNOR HOBBS HAS MADE GOOD USE OF HER VETO SAMP QUASHING SOME OF THE EFFORTS IN OUR STATE LEGISLATURE TO PUSH THESE ANTIDRAG POLICIES.

BUT WE ARE RESPONDING WITH TWO FULL DAYS OF FAMILY-FRIENDLY, DRAG PERFORMANCES JUST A STONE'S THROW FROM THE CAPITOL.

>> Ted: 150 PERFORMANCES ON SEVEN STAGES?

>> MORE THAN 60 ACRES OF FESTIVAL SPACE THIS WEEKEND AND SEVEN SEPARATE THEME AREAS, EACH WITH THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE LINEUP AND A VIP PERFORMANCE WITH THE OWN TALENT AND ENTERTAINMENT.

>> Ted: FOOD VENDORS?

>> MORE THAN TWO DOZEN FOOD VENDORS AND OUR HEALTH AND WELLNESS FATHER.

WEWELLNESS FAIR.

WE KNOW HEALTHCARE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

WE'RE BRINGING IN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE EAGER TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO CONNECT THEM.

>> Ted: WHERE?

WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

WHEN?

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT AND THE HOURS, WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT BUT GIVE US ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE FESTIVAL.

>> WE'LL BE AT STEELE INDIAN PARK FROM NOON TO 9:00 P.M. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH THE PARADE SUNDAY MORNING BEGINNING AT 10:00 A.M. ON FOLLOWS ROAD AND BIRD STREET AND WORKING UP INDIAN SCHOOL WORD INTO THE FESTIVAL GATE.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY THIS WEEKEND.

>> Ted: AND YOU SHOULD SHOULD HAVE GOOD WEATHER.

>> NO RAIN THIS YEAR AND BEAUTIFUL AND A WONDERFUL TIME TO CELEBRATE.

THE COMMUNITY IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, A PEOPLE ORIENTED EVENT AND WE'RE CREATING A SAFE SPACE, A SECURE SPACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE AUTHENTICALLY WHO THEY ARE AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO PARTICIPATE POSITIVELY IS WELCOME.

>> Ted: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, JEREMY HELFGOT.

>> YOU WELCOME.

>> Ted: TEMPE SIGNS IS A NEW EXHIBIT THAT FEATURES NOTABLE SIGNAGE FROM SOME OF THE BEST KNOWN BUSINESSES.

FOR MORE ON THE SUBJECT, WE WELCOME JOSH AND AUBREY FEYRER, A GRADUATE STUDENT.

I'LL START WITH YOU, AUBREY BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS WAS A MISSION OF LOVE, WAS IT NOT?

>> A BRILLIANT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OUT JOSH WITH PUTTING THIS SIGNIFICANT TOGETHEREXHIBIT TOGETHER AND BAGGAGE ABLEDISPLAYINGTHEM.

>> Ted: HOW DID THIS IDEA GET STARTED?

>> THE MUSEUM HAS BEEN COLLECTING SIGNAGE FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES AND IF A BUSINESS IS HELPING, WE'LL REACH OUT TO THE BUSINESS OWNER AND INVITE THEM TO PLACE ITEMS INTO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION TO HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES AND PRESERVE IT.

SO OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, WE'VE COLLECTED A LOT OF COOL BUSINESS SIGNS AND JUST MADE SENSE TO GATHER THEM UP AND CELEBRATE.

>> Ted: YOU HAD THEM AND DIDN'T HAVE TO FIND THEM?

>> WE HAD A LOT OF GREAT SAINTS SIGNS.

WE WENT INTO THE COMMUNITY FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND PRIVATE COLLECTORS, TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE BEST WE COULD.

>> Ted: OK, AUBREY, I REMEMBER TRICK'S RESTAURANT AS THE HOUSE OF TRICKS.

BUT THE SIGN, WE SEE IT AND THAT'S ICONIC FOR TEMPE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT SIGN, DO THEY NOT?

>> IT'S A VERY ICONIC SIGN.

WHEN JOSH AND I WENT TO PICK UP THE SIGN, TO BRING IT INTO THE MUSEUM FOR DISMAY, IT WAS A SOBERING MOMENT BECAUSE KNOWING THAT SUCH A PIVOTAL LOCATION HAD CLOSED DOWN AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND THE TRICK FAMILY, THEY DID A BRILLIANT JOB OVER THE YEARS WITH THEIR RESTAURANT AND WE WERE HAPPY TO DISPLAY IT.

>> Ted: OUR NEXT ONE IS SOMETHING A LOT OF OLD-TIME PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE.

THISHOW GOOD A SHAPE WAS THAT?

>> IT WAS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE.

[ Laughter ] >> WAG WAS ON THE CORNER OF UNIVERSITY AND MCCLINTOCK AND BY THE TIME THEY COLLECTED IT, THE AXELS WERE SHOT AND WE SENT THAT TO A WAGON STORE IN ARIZONA ARIZONA.

>> Ted: AUBREY, ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE GONE TO BIG SURF?

>> BARELY OLD ENOUGH BUT I REMEMBER GOING THERE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.

A BRILLIANT WATER PARK.

THIS SIGN, WE GOT IT ON LOAN FROM THE ARIZONA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

AND BIG SURF, VERY LARGE SIGN NEEDED SOME SIGNIFICANT WIPED DOWN WORK AND DISPLAYING IT CAME OUT GREAT.

>> Ted: DID IT MEAN A LITTLE BIT OF REHAB?

>> A LOT OF THE SIGNS CAME IN NOT GREAT OR MIXED CONDITIONS AND SO, IT WAS COMBINATION OF NEEDING TO SOME BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUCHING UP AND WIPING DOWN AND WITH THE NEON SIGNS, WE NEEDED TO GET THEM REPAIRED.

GRAHAMS' NEON HELPED US OUT.

>> Ted: WE ALL REMEMBER MONTE'S AND WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> THE BUILDING IS STILL THERE AND THE RESTAURANT CLOSED IN 204 AFTER OPERATING FOR CLOSE TO 60 AREAS6YEARS.

60 YEARS.

IT WAS HOUSED IN THE HAYDEN HOUSE.

THE CITY OF TEMPE OWNS THE BUILDING AND IS COMMITTED TO KEEPING IT IN PERPETUITY.

>> Ted: THE INTEREST OF TEMPE.

YOU GOT OFF THE BRIDGE.

AGAIN, ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE GONE TO RU RULE ABUOULA?

>> NOT MYSELF BUT IT WAS FUN TO BECAUSE OF BAGGAGE AN ARELINQUISH PUB AND THERE WAS A FAMOUS IRISH BUT IT HAD THE SPIRIT OF CELEBRATION.

IT WAS JUST THAT FOR THE CITY OF TEMPE, JUST TO GO TO A PUB, A RESTAURANT TO GO TO HAVE A GAD TIMEGOODTIME.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE MAIN INSPIRATIONS TO GO THROUGH THIS EXHIBIT PROJECT.

>> Ted: I SAW PAT TILLMAN THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES.

>> HIS FAVORITE BAR.

>> Ted: A LONG TIME AGO.

TALK ABOUT NEON AND HOT DOGS.

TED HOT DOGS IS STILL THERE.

>> THAT'S WHAT IS COOL ABOUT TED'S HOT DOGS.

A LOT OF BUSINESSES FROM THE PAST BUT WE JUST WENT AND HAD LUNCH AT TED'S HOT DOGS AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!

TED'S HAS BEEN AN ICON SINCE THE 1980'S AND ROOTS GO BACK TO BUFFALO, NEW YORK IN THE 1900'S AND THERE'S A 100 YEAR HISTORY.

IT'S A BIG DEAL IN NEW YORK.

THEY OPENED IN TEMPE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY HAD SHOWBURDENS COMING OUT.

IT'S BECOME A LOCAL FAVORITE, AS WELL, TO THIS DAY.

>> Ted: AUBREY HAD A BIG SMILE.

>> MY FIRST TIME AND I LOVED IT!

>> Ted: THE TEMPE SIGN'S SIGN, TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> WITH PLEASURE.

THE TEMPE'S SIGN SIGN IS BASED OFF OF A SIGN FROM A CATALINA MOTEL PLACED ON APACHE BOULEVARD AND THIS SIGN, IT WAS THE RESULT OF A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WE MANAGED TO FOR WITH IGNITE SIGN ART MUSEUM DOWN IN TUCSON.

ME, JOSH AND THE EXHIBITER, AND THEY GAVE US A TON OF INSPIRATION AND TO INCORPORATE IN NEON.

AND THEY CREATED THIS SANE FOR USTHIS SIGN FORIT.

IT DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE.

>> Ted: WE HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT AND TALK ABOUT APACHE, THERE WERE A LOT OF N OF COURSER N OFEON BACK IN THE DAY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE WITH THIS?

>> TO CONNECT WITH THEIR MEMORIES, LIKE A SPECIAL DINNER OR THEIR FIRST JOB.

WHAT I WOULD LOVE IS FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND REMEMBER THESE STORIES EAR THEN SHARE THEM WITH EACH OTHER.

AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO RECONNECT WITH THE PAST.

>> Ted: A LOT OF US HAVE A LOT OF MEMORIES AT THESE PLACES.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS FOR SHARING.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANKS.

>> Ted: THAT'S IT FOR NOW.
