Chandler itself is one subdivision after another, but the downtown historic district is charming with restaurants, shops, and a hotel that looks like it belongs in Belize. Besides having lunch at the Kokopelli Winery Bistro, we had dinner at the SanTan Brewery, which was really hopping for a Tuesday night, or any night actually.
We also drove out to the Queen Creek, AZ Olive Mill, a working olive farm about 15 miles from our parking lot home. Besides olive oil, their shop sold pastries, sauces, tapanades, gelato, coffee, bread, and had free recipes to go with their items (and an on line recipe collection I’ll hae to go back to when we are home in Salt Lake). Plus they had a restaurant. Very fun to look around. Jim says it feels like we’re on vacation ... and it does.
