Forgotten Phoenix or The Art of Hotel Management

Signed by the author, Robert Melikian.

Old buildings, canals, trolleys, and ghosts. Local author and preservationist Robert Melikian recalls his nightly downtown Phoenix walks and adventures that were spurred on by a worn coffee shop matchbook he found.  The author contrasts the declining downtown he experienced in the 1970s, when his family began a decades-long journey to revitalize and run an old hotel, to downtown's vibrant early days in the 1920s.  Rare family photos and Phoenix historic images.
