Charley's Place is a Glendale nightlife favorite for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that this friendly bar and grill keeps its kitchen open until 10 o'clock every night except on Sunday. Plus, the many pool tables and dart boards make it fun to hang out after work and well into the evening. There's also karaoke every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for all those American Idol wannabes!

Take to the skies for a history lesson that has an impressively large wingspan. Discover the stories that are all a part of the Luke Air Force Base, a place that proudly touts itself as the “Home of the Fighter Pilot.” See various aircraft and learn about the role they played in various historical eras. Also, learn about the men who got in the cockpits to steer these planes into the history books. Tours and groups of 15 to 40 persons can be arranged by calling the base in advance.

Give the kids a more detailed understanding of the role of the police in our community when you take them to visit the Glendale Police Museum. There are many interesting exhibits and attractions that detail various aspects of police work. In addition, get up close to some historically significant pieces that include vintage uniforms, guns, photos, mug shots and other assorted items that paint an all-encompassing picture of the importance and development of police work in American society.
