Laguna at Arrowhead Ranch by Mark-Taylor

It's no secret that Glendale and its surrounding areas have been influenced by an incredible array of cultures. One of the most prevalent in the area's history and development is the Mexican culture. Aside from its food and language that have become part of the mainstream, its celebratory tradition of dance is alive and well in Glendale thanks to the efforts of the Ballet Folklorico Fiesta Mexicana. These young boys and girls are instructed in the technique and expression of dance as an extension of their Mexican heritage. The various dance recitals and productions put on by this group also tell various stories that will mesmerize all who come to experience these colorful performances.

Zola Bell's is one of those places that appeals to nearly all of your senses. Reach out and touch the impressive selection of classic books and toys. Gaze with wonder at the detailed works of pottery and stunning pieces of glassware. You can even taste some of the old time candy that is for sale here and smell the sweet aroma of it as you purchase a bag to munch on while you shop. Zola Bell's also features an extensive selection of antiques, jewelry, primitives, tools and various works of art.

When you want to wind down after a hard day, choose a place that exudes a cool, relaxed vibe. The 5030 Cocktail Lounge in Glendale is such a place.
