Glendale, Arizona: A Small Town in Big City
Glendale, Arizona, suburb of Phoenix, is the 4th largest city in Arizona. Home to the Arizona Cardinals, it boosts the largest stadium in Arizona, the University of Phoenix Stadium. http://www.universityofphoenixstadium.com/
Despite the large population, innovative stadium, and abundant businesses, Downtown Glendale maintains the feel of a small town. http://www.visitglendale.com/
here is a walking map of Downtown Glendale: http://www.visitglendale.com/pdf/map.pdf
Numerous antique shops line the walkways of downtown. Apple Tree Antiques, http://www.picturetrail.com/appletreeshop and A Mad Hatters, http://www.amadhatters.com/ are popular shops.
Cerreta Candy Company just east of downtown has been a Glendale icon for 40 years. http://www.cerreta.com/ The smell of cooking chocolate is noticeable for blocks.
Every holiday season the town lights up and enjoys a festival of chocolate and lights. http://www.glendaleaz.com/events/glendaleglitters.cfm
