We are exploring the new, up and coming or otherwise unique and interesting neighborhoods around the Valley in an occasional segment we are calling the "Hot Corner."

Food writer Gwen Ashley Walters took us to a spot that is becoming hotter, thanks in part to an abundance of locally-owned restaurants, and she called it a "Hot Strip." It's Indian School Road and 38th Street in Phoenix.

We want to know what’s cool about your neighborhood. Email us at [email protected].
