M E T R O FACTOIDS – DID YOU KNOW? 1. McCormick Ranch was land originally owned by Aetna – and when developed represented the largest planned community / subdivision in the world! 2. Durant’s Restaurant originally served vanilla custard as their only dessert choice (served in Dixie cups). 3. In Phoenix early days, the E/W streets were named after presidents, and the N/S streets had Indian names. Now the N/S streets are numbered. (Note: When looking for addresses, odd numbers are either on the south sides or the east sides of streets, depending on which way you are traveling, and even numbers are on the north sides or west sides of streets.) 4. An Ironwood Tree can live up to 800 years. 5. 14.4% of all mortgage loans in the United States are either in delinquency or foreclosure; Florida, California, Arizona and Nevada accounted for 43% of all foreclosure actions initiated in the United States. 6. In 1855 President Jefferson Davis dispatched Major Henry Wayne to Europe and the Middle East to learn about camels and purchase some for use in Arizona. Major Wayne returned home with 33 camels, which were used to create the U.S. Army Camel Corps. “Making it Happen” is more than just a tagline. Jan and Mary put those words into ACTION everyday!
