Let’s rock on the RAIL…

Earlier today I attended the “Rock and Rail” party with my fellow StAR’s to celebrate the Light Rail. There were many local food merchants sampling off their goods so you know we were extremely excited! The atmosphere kicked off as soon as we got there and I actually even bumped into several people that I work with at the City.

Just to derail a bit (pun intended) and have the statement above make more sense, I have been working for the City of Phoenix since the age of 15. I was able to land an interview with the City Managers’ Office, Youth and Education Department through a wonderful teacher at my former high school and was hired on the spot. That is still one of my part-time jobs and I love the experience I have gained. So relating it back to my original blog post, several people who are religiously working on the Light Rail work on my floor at City Hall. Well not really my floor, but you get the idea.

Any who, meeting up with people was really neat. Oh and I have to mention Danielle has the most guts I have seen in a while! She was ready to dance off for an iPod and she went in it whole-heartedly. Just for the record, Danielle so should have won that contest. She had some killer moves! All in all, I had a good time hanging out with the StAR’s, my fellow residents of Downtown and everyone else that was there to enjoy the celebration. It is very exciting to know that our Light Rail is well on its way to be running through our Metropolis by late December.

Check out some of the pictures below! I also took video of Danielle however I will let her do the honors and post it on her blog so check it out!
