The hot corner at 16th St. and Bethany Home Road.

It’s time now to head to another hot corner – parts of the Valley with a lot going on.

Gwen Ashley Walters is a food writer for Phoenix Magazine. We met at the corner of 16th St. and Bethany Home Road.

We sat inside Luci’s Healthy Marketplace and it was plenty busy. It’s just one of the places you can eat and shop nearby.
