Call Center Company in Tempe, AZ

Tempe's closed for good in April and the owners are working to sell to a developer and build more than 200 homes.

But, FOX 10's Steve Nielsen learned while that plan is being reviewed, residents say a smelly new problem has developed.

When the water stopped, the problems began.

What they're saying:

Follow Kathleen Ross through her backyard gate and you see what’s been troubling her.

"It’s dying," Kathleen said about the course and its wildlife.

For years, residents have been fighting to keep the 9-hole golf course afloat.

"The pond is completely dried up," Allan Ross said.

A resident captured a video of the fish dying in the drying pond days ago. On May 27, a FOX 10 drone couldn’t find any water left.

Kathleen says the smell of the dead fish has been awful.

"Sit outside and enjoy the evening weather or our patio or the pool because of the grossness. It’s nauseating. We have to go inside," she said.

What we know:

FOX 10 didn’t hear back from the long-time owners, but they wrote an earlier this year saying they saved this course many times over the years, but it’s time for a new partner.

A developer is asking to rezone the land to build 244 homes over two to three years. It would bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue yearly.

"It’s going to destroy the neighborhood," Trudy Mussigman said.

She says they prefer for golfers to tee off again, but if it’s development, they want acre lots as neighbors.

"I get it you’re trying to get the most money out of your investment, but you also have to think about the 106 homes that are surrounding your land," Mussigman said.

Kathleen says she wants the water turned back on.

"Brown. Smelly. Sad. Abandoned," Kathleen said, describing her backyard view.

There’s a community meeting on June 4 and 11 at 6 p.m. at the Church of the Epiphany in Tempe. All are welcome.

Whatever you think about the fast fashion issue, SHEIN is a global retail powerhouse, racking up more than $30 billion in revenue in 2023.

Now, customers can get their fast fashion even faster: The company is setting up shop at Tempe Marketplace for four days, Friday through Monday, May 23 to 26.

It's SHEIN's third pop-up in Arizona and second at Tempe Marketplace, says SHEIN spokesperson Angela Tucciarone. "We selected the Valley as a pop-up location thanks to our strong customer base in Arizona, which ranks among SHEIN's top 20 markets nationwide. The pop-up is a way to show appreciation for the loyal Arizona community and connect directly with customers.”

The pop-up shop, which will be housed in the former Rolling Rack space directly across from Nike, will sell men's, women's and plus-size options, along with beauty, footwear, handbags, accessories and more.

“We combine sales trends, local weather, and event stats to curate a selection of items tailored to each pop-up audience," Tucciarone says.

For Tempe, that includes "fashion trends (that) are centered around comfort, color and streetwear influences. In the women's category, pastels like butter yellow, light pink and baby blue are defining the season, complemented by ruffles and flowy silhouettes. Casual streetwear continues to be a standout category, especially among SHEIN fans in Arizona," Tucciarone says. "For women, SHEIN fans in Arizona have been shopping for camouflage-printed tees, tube tops, denim shorts and leggings. For men, loose-fitting casualwear and athleisure are leading trends, with popular SHEIN picks including graphic tees, textured collared shirts and parachute pants.”

Hours are 1 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Monday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Tempe Marketplace is located at 2000 E. Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe.

TEMPE, AZ (AZFamily) — Tempe city officials plan to turn on photo-enforcement cameras in the coming days at more than a dozen intersections as the city continues its ongoing work on road safety.

“The data shows that these cameras effectively reduce crashes and serious injuries worldwide,” said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods. “Tempe residents deserve to feel safe on our roads, whether they walk, drive or bike to get where they need to go, and this program will help ensure that they can do so safely.”

Cameras have been installed at 14 intersections throughout the city and four mobile units. They will begin capturing images on May 7, when warnings will start being issued. On June 5, any car caught speeding or running a red light will receive a civil citation with a $250 fine. Criminal charges could also apply for excessive speeds as applicable under state law.

Arizona’s Family Investigates has done a series of reports on photo enforcement and Tempe’s decision to re-start its program.

In 2020, Tempe adopted a program aimed at preventing all traffic deaths. Despite the additional resources, the city hasn’t seen major drops in the number of serious and deadly crashes. But they have made progress at a time when Tempe is growing.

“We just really need to be more intentional about how we build our infrastructure,” Ellie Volosin, a Senior Civil Engineer with the city said back in October.

It comes as Tempe is dealing with a shortage of officers.

Officials in Tempe cite a U.S. Department of Transportation study showing that photo-enforcement cameras can reduce crashes by more than 50%. A similar study commissioned by Scottsdale showed crashes fell by 65% at intersections with photo enforcement.

Tempe says it chose the intersections with the highest disparity between posted speed limits and documented speeds of vehicles driving through, those with the highest crash rates, and those with at least three serious or deadly crashes between 2018 and 2022.

“Hopefully, if it makes people see the red light and slam on the brakes then that would be a good thing,” Craig Pratt, a pedestrian said.
