| - Heinz was right. Good things come to those who wait. 20 years after I first met Changing Hands in the old Mill Ave location, the newest addition to the CH family is worth the wait (and trek into Central Phoenix for the legions of suburbanites). I went opening night and am confident they will continue to get even better in the next coming weeks. As fresh as the opening was, everything, by what I could tell, still jumped heads over most, established businesses. The care and thoughtfulness put into the development of this shop is apparent, throughout. I can't wait to go back again, and again, once the immediate crowds of curiosity subside (just a bit; I don't want business to stop), and savor some of the fun wines and beers while browsing books. I tried a new IPA while there and was really tickled to see the creativity of the menu.
In other words, I no longer have to trek far from home for my fill of literary love... and there's beer. So, pretty much, I'm ready to get down on my knee and ask Changing Hands, CenPho, to marry me. I see my gloating instagram posts, already, swimming in my mind.
Books and beer. Changing Hands, you had me at hello.
