For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May.

ADOT announced four road restrictions that could affect North Phoenix drivers this weekend:

Westbound Loop 101 will be closed between 56th Street and State Route 51 in northeast Phoenix from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2 to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 5 for the freeway widening project. Westbound Loop 101 on-ramp at 64th Street closed. DETOUR: Consider exiting westbound Loop 101 ahead of the closure and using alternate routes, including westbound Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard/Bell Road. Westbound Loop 101 traffic exiting at 56th Street can detour to westbound Deer Valley Road and southbound Cave Creek Road to reach westbound Loop 101.
