Case: You got to love the ambiance in this place. Wish they had a sign so I could have found this place faster. Very cool design of the restaurant. The food looks very good. My partner and I just stopped by for some wine. It is a very cool place to hang out especially if you are a 30 something, which I am not.\n\nI will go back to try the food and more of their wines. I am anxious for a very positive result!

Case: Walk into Poppa Maize and the first thing that hits you is the wonderful smells.  The second thing is the array of popcorn flavors, everything from tradional buttered to coffee flavored.  There are seasonal flavors (the candy cane popcorn was delish) and old standby's.  The owners are locals who work hard to please there customers and it shows.  My personal favorite is the old standby caramel corn, with the coffee and peanut butter chocolate vying for second place.  My husband loves the chipotle cheese.  The butter pecan is also to die for.  Basically, they are all wonderful.   Give it a try, you will be hooked.

Case: I came to Mike N Molly's to see a relative play in his band. I got there late and there was no seating. Across the street a building wall  is painted in chalkboard paint and people are allowed to draw pictures and write whatever they want. I liked that there was no cover charge.

Case: Ah, tanning: my guilty pleasure. I have been an on again/off again user of tanning beds for the past five years and had my first Mystic eight years ago at the tender age of 11; so lets just say this wasn't my first rodeo.\n\nWhen I moved to Tempe in August of 2012, I began my search for a new salon. After trying out a handful of different businesses, I decided to sign a contract with Darque Tan. The prices were average of what you expect in this area, the locations were convenient and the biggest seller: the Versa Spa Sunless Tanning! If you're unfamiliar with what this is, it's like the Mystic only much, much better. Although the attitude of some employees left something to be desired and on weekends theres usually a 10-20 minute wait for the Versa, it didn't bother me too much.\n\nSo why the one star rating? Well for the final 2 months that I was bonded by contract with Darque Tan, the Versa began to streak and left the right side of my body completely white, while the right side would be dark but look splotchy! (see my photo) My sister and several of my friends also use the Versa here and said the same thing happened to them. My sister (who occasionally tans here) went in a few days after her botched Versa Spa session and told the girl working what had happened to her. The employee (after much back and forth) gave her another session on the house after saying how she was \""not supposed to do this\"" and it was a \""one time exception\"". Still came out blotchy. \n\nOn multiple occasions I would ask the employees why it was coming out uneven and if the machine was broken. It was always the same story: they had NEVER heard of it happening to anyone else and that it was \""so weird\"". I would even show them my legs after I came out and they still did not fix the machine or admit to it being broken. \n\n*** Well here's how the cookie crumbles: ***\n\nOne night my sister and I went into get a spray tan only to find out the Versa was \""out of order\"" and getting repaired. Of course my response to this was ITS ABOUT TIME, and a woman filling out paperwork next to me chimes in and says \""Oh they're finally fixing it??\"". I asked her if she was getting the same left side:tan/dark side:pale results I was and surely enough, YEP she was, as well as a couple people she knew. But of course the employees and manager would always play dumb and make it seem like we must have been doing something to mess it up.\n\nThe girl working the counter told me the story of what happened and basically some guy came in to get a spray tan before a photo shoot and got the usual botched job then flipped shizz on the lady working. So I guess they decided it was time to repair it.\n\nAfter finding this out, I was done and decided to take my business elsewhere. I went into cancel my contract on the 20th of May and the girl working the desk said I would still be charged for that month since I didn't come in before the cut-off date for billing on the 15th, but assured me I could still use the beds & spray tanning til the next billing date (June 15th). I was moving back home to California the following day so I knew I wouldn't be utilizing it but thought ok, whatever.\n\nFast forward to June 1st: I'm back visiting in Tempe for the week and remember I'm still paying for my tanning! So of course I'm gonna use it. I just so happened to be right across the street from a Darque Tan location in Tempe after getting my nails done, so I decided to go pay the 60$ for that month and get a spray tan. Well the Tempe location doesn't have a Versa, so I paid the 60$ since I was already there then made my way over to the Scottsdale location. \n\nI get to the Scottsdale location and the guy working informs me that I haven't paid my bill that month. I tell him I had just paid at a Tempe location and even provided my receipt for him. Apparently that wasn't enough proof, so he calls Darque Tan in Tempe right in front of me to ask if I was just in there. Of course; the girl says yes and that I paid my monthly bill of $60. After he hangs up he proceeds to call his mangager and tell him/her what happened. \n\nAfter a series of \""mhms\"" \""uh-huhs\"" and \""riiight rights\"", he tells me he cannot tan me and his manager would give me a call in a couple days. At this point I'm annoyed but still politely said okay thanks for trying yada yada yada and went on my way. \n\nWell, as I predicted: its Tuesday and still have not been received a call or voicemail from the manager or owner. GOOD RIDDANCE, Darque Tan.
