RECOLLECTIONS:GREULICH'SAUTOMOTIVE"My father and my oldest brother, Greg,decided to open up an automotive machineshop in 1979, and I remember my dadspeaking to Herb Drinkwater at his liquorstore about where Scottsdale was growingto, and his only answer was, 'You wantto be in the Scottsdale Airpark.' In 1979,Thunderbird Road didn't go through toHayden, and it seemed like the middleof nowhere, but that's where Greulich'sAutomotive began and the rest is history.Congratulations to the Scottsdale AirparkNews on 30 years!"

CAUTION DRIVERS!As more and more business complexes spring up in the area, traffic increases. There arefew stop signs and stoplights around and even fewer speed limit signs posted; but theway some cars barrel through the area, you'd think it was qualifying trials at the Indy500.We suggest some caution when driving through the Airpark vicinity.
