North Central knows how to do Halloween.

Mature trees, deep front yards, and long driveways give our streets a natural stage for a little seasonal theater. Some homes go all out with fog, lights, and a full front-yard graveyard. Others keep it simple with a few pumpkins on the steps and the porch light on. Every one of them makes the neighborhood a better place to walk on Halloween night.

This year, we want to see yours.

Decorate your yard, porch, or front door, then share a photo with us. Tag us on Instagram, post it to our page, or email it to [email protected].

We will feature neighborhood favorites in a roundup after the big night.

Classic, clever, spooky, or sweet, it all counts.

Shade is not an accident. It is grown, one irrigation cycle at a time.

The mature trees across North Central depend on water, and that canopy is part of how our streets stay cooler as summers stretch longer. That is why NCPHA paired water and heat in one evening.

Whether you have flood irrigation today, are thinking about it, or simply want the facts about the water supply in your neighborhood and the city, this symposium is for you. Protecting the urban canopy starts with understanding the water behind it.

Thursday, October 29, 6:00 to 7:30 PM (doors open at 5:30 PM)
All Saints Church and Day School, Manning Hall, 6300 N. Central Ave.

Found bag on Linger Lane

A gray-and-cream patterned tote with tan leather handles, with clothing inside, was left on our street. A man walked onto Linger Lane carrying it, sat down, looked through it, and then left without it.

If it looks familiar or belongs to someone you know, it is on the mailbox at 211 W Linger Lane and will stay there for a few more days.

If your yard floods on irrigation day, SRP is part of your story.

Stephen Petersen, Field Services Liaison with Salt River Project, will join us at the NCPHA Water and Heat Symposium. His session, Water Supply with SRP, focuses on the water that serves our neighborhood and the people who deliver it.

Flood-irrigated homes are part of what makes North Central feel like North Central. Come learn how the system works and bring your questions.

SR 51 Closure This Weekend: What North Central Neighbors Should Know

Northbound SR 51 will be closed between Indian School Road and Glendale Avenue from 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, to 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12. The northbound on-ramps at McDowell and Thomas roads will also be closed.

Suggested detour: Westbound Indian School Road to 16th Street, then eastbound Glendale Avenue to rejoin SR 51 north of the closure. Expect heavier traffic on 16th Street and Glendale through our neighborhood this weekend, so plan a few extra minutes for local trips.

Looking ahead

Oct. 13 to 16: Southbound SR 51 narrows to one or two lanes between Indian School and McDowell, nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Oct. 16 to 19: No SR 51 closures planned.
Oct. 23 to 26: Northbound SR 51 closed between Northern Avenue and Shea Boulevard, 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

About the rough pavement: The uneven surface and leftover asphalt on the bridge decks are temporary. ADOT will remove the remaining asphalt during upcoming bridge work, then resurface the freeway and ramps with diamond grinding to create a smooth finished surface.

Where does Phoenix get its water, and how much will we need in the years ahead?

Dr. Max Wilson, Water Resources Management Advisor for the City of Phoenix, will join us at the NCPHA Water and Heat Symposium. His session, Water Supply and Demand Update, will look at where the city stands today.

If you have followed the news about water in the West and wondered what it means close to home, this is your chance to hear the city's perspective firsthand and ask your own questions.

Thursday, October 29, 6:00 to 7:30 PM (doors open at 5:30 PM)

A painting that tells our neighborhood's story.

Congratulations to Nancy Dregne, who took home this original painting by local artist Jess Sorensen at our Annual Meeting.

Look closely and you'll find North Central in every detail. The horseshoe and horse head recall the Murphy Bridle Path, where riders have traveled for generations. The olive branches echo the trees that line Central Avenue. It's the same spirit found in the NCPHA logo, painted by hand.

Our heartfelt thanks to Jess Sorensen, who created and generously donated this piece. Gifts like this keep an all-volunteer association going, and they remind us how much neighbors care about this place.

Jess, thank you. Nancy, enjoy it for years to come.

Welcome, Cody Kellogg.

At our Annual Meeting, neighbors met Cody Kellogg, the new Research Analyst for Biltmore and Central Phoenix in Councilman Kevin Robinson's District 6 office.

Here's why that matters. A council office is often the fastest route from a neighborhood concern to the City department that can act on it. Traffic calming, code enforcement, a zoning question you can't get answered: staff like Cody know who to call and how to move it forward.

The best time to get to know your council office is before you need it. Cody, thank you for joining us, and welcome to the neighborhood.

Not sure which council district you live in? Look it up by home address with the City's "Find My Council District" tool at phoenix.gov: https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/mayorcouncil/find-my-council-district.html

To reach the District 6 office: [email protected] or 602-262-7491.

Thank you, Phoenix Police.

Officers from the Mountain View Precinct joined us at the NCPHA Annual Meeting to talk with neighbors about safety in North Central Phoenix and answer questions directly.

Neighborhood safety is a partnership. When residents and officers know each other, problems get reported sooner and solved faster. We're grateful for the time they gave us and for the work they do every day.
