• This Arizona Town Has An Advanced Healthcare System That Ranks Among The Best In The Country (takingthekids.com) — Scottsdale residents benefit from a dense network of top-ranked hospitals, cancer centers, and rehab facilities that keep most advanced care close to home. From HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea and Mayo Clinic to Banner's expanding cancer services and coordinated physician networks, the city's investment in research, training, and community access means shorter travel, better coordination, and more options when serious health issues arise.
   

• Why Rawhide was the ultimate Arizona destination (azcentral.com) — Memories of Rawhide's heyday and closure in north Scottsdale take center stage here, tracing how the Western-themed town near Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale roads grew, struggled, and ultimately relocated. Longtime residents share how the once-free attraction shaped family outings, local jobs, and Scottsdale's Old West image, even as city growth and new restrictions pushed it to move south in 2006.
