Basaic Says: This building was finished in 1920 and opened as the Chandler Theater. Later it was bought by another couple who renamed it the Rowena. The theater seated 600, and is a nice example of the Mission Revival style of architecture.
Basaic Says: The Price Building was built in 1914 by David Jacobson, the first mayor of Chandler. It was named for Arthur E, Price, Chandler's first attorney and justice of the peace, and operated as a pharmacy for many years.
Basaic Says: The McCormick Building was built in 1928 and was an armory and the original International Organization of Odd Fellows Hall.
Basaic Says: The Monroe Building was built by the Chandler Improvement Company and named for a local merchant in 1912. The upper floor was the first home of the Chandler Chamber of Commerce.
Basaic Says: In 1918, Dr. Kramer M. Gilbert, Chandler's first doctor, had this building built and practiced medicine here for over 30 years. On the second floor of the building was the office of Chandler's first dentist.
Basaic Says: In 1920, Syrian immigrant Albert Esber opened a dry goods store next door to the larger and very popular Serrano's Popular Store. Esber called his store a "Bargain" store and did well.
Basaic Says: This building housed the Arrow Pharmacy for almost 90 years beginning in 1918. The pharmacy was run by John "Doc" Weber and had a very popular soda fountain where residents of the town would gather for soda and ice cream.
See the Hotel Chandler Building
Basaic Says: The Hotel Chandler opened in 1914 and was a more affordable alternative to the San Marcos Hotel. The building now houses the DC Steakhouse.
Basaic Says: There is a nice gift shop called Sibley's in old town on San Marcos Place where you can get more info about Chandler and buy gifts and postcards for the folks back home. One of the neat things is that they also have postage stamps for the cards including the ones for mailing...

DC (Downtown Chandler) Steakhouse: Great But Expensive
Basaic Says: The DC Steakhouse is located in the old Hotel Chandler Building in Old Town Chandler. The Hotel Chandler opened in 1914 and was a more affordable alternative to the San Marcos Hotel. The menu includes steaks, chops, ribs, chicken and seafood dishes. They also have a nice...
Basaic Says: When I asked about dinner, the desk clerk at the Fairfield recommended Rudy's. The menu here is varied and includes things like Texas smoked sausage, brisket, ribs, turkey, and chicken. Service was pretty good as was my sandwich. Hours are 7 AM to 10 PM Monday through...
Bourbon Jacks: Bourbon or a Meal
Basaic Says: Bourbon Jacks advertises itself as an "urban country restaurant". I guess it does okay at that. The menu shows touches of the south; but not as much as the bourbon. Live music five nights a week. Happy hour 4 PM to 7 PM Monday through Friday and Reverse Happy Hour Saturday...
Kokopelli's: Nice Winery and Bistro
Basaic Says: I was already full by the time I saw Kokopelli's, so I did not eat here. The food looked and smelled good. You might want to consider Kokopelli's over other bars (or in addition) if you want wine vice beer. Kokopelli's is located in the old First National Bank Building built...
Irish Republic: Great Bar Big Selection of Beers Part 2
Basaic Says: I especially liked the signs showing the wit and wisdom of being Irish, the old photo of Ronald Reagan and the tribute to Pat Tillman who gave up a lucrative pro football career with the Arizona cardinals to serve in the U. S. Marine Corps and ended up dying for his country.
Irish Republic: Great Bar Big Selection of Beers
Basaic Says: My favorite bar in Chandler would have to be the Irish Republic. They offer a very wide variety of beers and ales along with mixed drinks. The owner is a guy named Murphy who has worked with the U. S. Military and is proud of the country and his Irish Heritage. It is located...
Downtown Chandler has its very own farmers market on a Thursday afternoon from 3pm-7pm. There is talk this will change in the height of summer. We love this place, if you have been there and not been lately it is worth a revisit has it has really grown in recent months. On one side there are the food vendors which includes fresh produce (including organic farmers), freshly made breads and other baked stuff. Salsas, hummus, honey, olive oils and lots more.
On the other side are the crafters and other merchandise. Hand crafts include pottery, cushions, jewelery, soaps to name a few. Other stuff includes things for pets and children. Sometimes there is a story teller for the kids (me) or a life band.
Every one is really friendly. My kids also enjoys playing in Dr AJ Chandler park.
What to buy: what ever takes your fancu, fresh produce and books
What to pay: current price

Chandler is the only place I've traveled to in the US where there are regular garage sales. You can just drive around during the weekend (more on Saturdays than Sundays) and follow the signs put up by the people having the garage sales.
My best buys would be 9 books from just one house at 50 cents each, a new Samsonite luggage for $30, and a friend bought a well-conditioned mountain bike for $65. There are a lot of interesting stuff you can buy. :)

Sandstorms can occur suddenly, without warning. If you are driving, find a safe spot where you can park for the meantime. Low visibility can make driving difficult and dangerous. If you're outdoors, find cover.

Basaic Says: Chandler has an Art Walk the third Friday of each month from 6 PM to 10 PM and a Farmer's Market every Thursday from 3 PM to 7 PM. The Farmer's Market is held in Dr. A. J. Chandler Park and the Art Walk starts there.

I was in Chandler for 4 months in 2003 and 3 months in 2004, both for business trips. Chandler is a well-planned city. All the major roads are in square grids so it's really easy place to navigate....
