True lofts on Sixteenth Street, another Roosevelt Row newcomer

What downtown Phoenix doesn't have a lot of, unfortunately, are old buildings that can be rehabbed into something new and cool. So anyone looking to save some money by purchasing a remake of an old spot will have to start looking a little way outside the downtown core. Here are some awesome-looking spots over at Sixteenth Street and McDowell priced under $300K, courtesy of Desert Living Magazine:

Meanwhile, another option for drinks has joined the mix around Roosevelt Row. The Lost Leaf bar at 914 N. Fifth Street opened up a few weeks ago and serves about 40 bottled beers and a couple wine options until 2 a.m. every night. Girlfriend_of_Downtown_Resident and I stopped by last night; we both liked the scene and I enjoyed the beer options (which are almost all nicely priced at $3 each). The menu promises draft beer and food options in the future, and I heard that they'll even offer discounts to anyone who walks or rides a bike to the location (the Artisan Village discount?).

Lost Leaf sounds promising. I need to get there soon. I hope they will extend the discount to those who arrive via light rail.
