A few of our local businesses that are helping folks beat the summer heat, in one way or another...
As one of Maricopa’s original spots, you can
feel the history and all the generations that have
walked in through the doors of the Headquarter’s
Lounge. While the Headquarter’s Café may have
the best breakfast specials in town and the only
place where you can get a homecooked style meal,
the Lounge is the coolest little hideaway spot for
locals. No foofoo drinks, pool tables are showing
some age, but that is what you call character. If
the Lounge was in L.A., it has all the makings
of a celebrity hangout— dark and quiet, unless
you put a few dollars in the jukebox. Behind
the bar, you’ll see a picture of John Wayne, as he
was known to stop by from time to time—and
don’t worry, in addition to the AC, they got the
strongest fan in town to keep you cool.

Looking for a new summer style to keep cool? Sharon and Tobin Gentry
at House of Gentry is where you can go to chill in a plush atmosphere and
have them work their magic. Located in the Honeycutt Business Center,
recent remodeling includes space for Carla Neal, previously of CNC Barber
and Spa. Most clientele is by appointment but walk-ins are always welcome.
If you happen to get your appointment early, you can always walk down the
business center to Honeycutt Coffee and get yourself an ice-cold
frappuccino.

The biggest ice-cream cones, smoothies, Italian sodas, milkshakes—Water and Ice has what you need to cool down with a
treat. Create your own frozen disaster and enjoy the throwback
style atmosphere. Owners, Mike and Tonya Thompson, along with
the staff are some of the nicest people in town. If you are with a
friend, go with the banana split…trust us when we say it is not a
solo venture.
