Street Guide Offers Low Tech Solution for navigating valley streets Phoenix-Since its introduction in 1978, the Phoenix - Valley of the Sun Street Guide has been a popular, low-cost and low-tech tool for navigating valley streets. The 2002 edition is now available. Hundreds of thousands have been bought by people who use it every day on the job. You'll find them in the glove boxes and dashboards of taxi's, shuttles, delivery and construction vehicles, tow trucks, trash trucks, repair and service trucks, even police cars. They are also small enough to fit in a pocket, so real estate and insurance agents like them, as do all kinds of travelling sales people. They're a "tool of the trade" for social workers, caregivers, process servers, private detectives, politicians and lawyers. For a mere $3.95 everyone can afford to have one as a simple, quick reference for more than 20,000 streets in the Phoenix metro area. President, James Willinger, reports that the book is completely updated. The 156-page book was expanded to include all 28 cities and towns that make up the Valley of the Sun. It lists streets alphabetically, shows city(s) the street is in and the block number alignment of the street. The easy-to-follow instructions and helpful foldout major street maps in the back of the book show you how the addressing systems work to find the location of streets and addresses. Look for the Phoenix - Valley of the Sun Street Guide wherever maps are sold or at the Wide World of Maps stores in Phoenix and Mesa.
