2. For Scottsdale veterans like Ian Parkinson, the recent Kabul attacks are painful reminders of the past. Parkinson served in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army in 2011, and he is sharing words comfort and support with the families of those killed in the recent airport attacks. Remember that veterans or military family members struggling with the Afghanistan news, you can call the 24/7 Veterans Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. For more resources, click here. (AZFamily)
3. San Diego-born Chula Seafood has already taken over the Valley, and now its sights are set specifically on Scottsdale. Owners Hogan Jamison and Mandy and Jon Heflin have plans for a third location in Scottsdale in the former Hi-Health market building, which is located in the Hayden Peak Crossing shopping center. Initial plans aim for a 2022 opening. (The Arizona Republic)
