JAYNE Couldn’t resist hopping under this canopy and nestling into the most perfect rock. The smells of deliciously curated food from around the corner are sparking ideas of romantic evenings and catching up with old friends. If Jayne is late to her next engagement, she’ll know exactly what her alibi will be!
JASPER is always on time for his afternoon snooze in the shade, but when the clock above strikes 4—and 2pm on weekends—you might see him trade this hideaway for another.
JACQUES wants nothing more than to invite you into his newfound favorite bistro right off Mill Ave. He’ll tell anyone within earshot it reminds him of his childhood taking trips to the French countryside, sitting in outdoor cafes and eating brie and good bread by the pound.
JUDGE is not one to judge a photobomber, so don’t judge him in return when he hops in your photo of this iconic downtown landmark. Hops away from Tempe Town Lake he loves watching the sky turn pink against the sparkling Mill Bridge lights from this cozy garden perch
JEMMA is a bit more timid and likes to be off the main drag. She likes to stay near the water fountain at this popular hotel where she can greet guests and take a dip on hot days.
JULIET is keeping her cool but might have overdone it on her latest hike up A Mountain. She’s on her way to the closest restaurant to replenish-- she’s sure it’s nothing a good meal won’t cure. But just in case she’s happy her membership at this custom medical experience is so close as hand!
JADE likes to watch the buses and people come and go as she stretches on her favorite flower bed. She is considered a resident at this downtown inn.
JENSEN doesn’t miss a beat in the hustle and bustle of Mill Avenue. He loves watching people cross on their way to the office or class and smelling the sweet aroma of visitors creating fragrances all day long and revolutionized ice cream cones being baked!
JOEY is such a delight (and avid coffee drinker) that he’s already gotten two coffee spots to change their name in his honor. After his usual heaven-sent 2pm caffeine boost he snuck across the street from one of his usual hopping grounds to sniff out the latest gossip on ASU’s who’s who and what’s what—and see if they carry those Hawaiian shirts in his size!
JAQUELINE may be the most elusive of the Tempe Tales—but tales she does have from her corner of this bar patio. Don’t let her day job serving up hummus and falafel fool you, she’s a northern girl at heart she can tell you who holds the most titles in the Stanley Cup and will NOT back down from that all you can eat wings competition.
JEREMY has been waiting all day for you to drop by. He’s been passing the time with so much coffee that he is bouncing off the walls in this outdoor lounge. It gave him plenty of time to plan your agenda together but wants to make sure you’re having as much fun as he is, will it be a chill walk through Flower Power Park or up to the rooftop for impeccable sky views?
