Hudson Manor Historic District Proposal
The Tempe Historical Commission did an update of our neighborhood survey and now want to go by
Criterion A - which will add 4 contributing houses. They discussed this change at the June, 2010 Tempe Historic
Preservation Commission meeting.
Meg Burton-Cahill for JP
The City of Tempe announced new library hours effective Monday, July 19, 2010. See the following
Library Hours
for details.
Our long time neighbor and recently retired state senator Meg Burton-Cahill, has decided
to run for Justice of the Peace in the University Lakes District which is roughly the east side of
Tempe. If you have questions about what the Justice of the Peace does or would like to
help Meg you can contact her at 480-363-6344 or email: megburtoncahill@yahoo.com.
Hudson Manor History
The grandson of the developer of our Hudson Manor dropped off a portfolio of old photos
of neighborhood and Tempe. See the History page for links to these
photos/articles. Phil also found a 1992 news video done on
the problems our park was having when a number of homeless people had made Hudson
Manor Part their home. Dennis Cahill had just been elected to our City Council and includes
neighbor Shelly White as well.
Hudson Manor Labyrinth - Neighbors Working Together!
Summer, 2007 marked the completion of our neighborhood project to construct a meditation
area at our Hudson Manor Park. On June 9th, a time capsule was sealed at the entry and the north
sign was set in place at the base of the peace pole. The arrow was set in black “Apache Tears”
from Globe. Since that time people have been seen eating there, children play games there, others
practice playing their guitars and flutes there and yes there was even a person spotted in a yoga
position in meditation! This was truly a neighborhood project - with lots of people volunteering
their time and energy. See the Labyrinth page for photos of the park in
progress.
