Cell Reception Improves
Enough people in the Anthem and Seven Hills area complained about spotty cell phone reception, and now, new devices have been installed to improve reception.
The devices were installed on Eastern Avenue just south of the Anthem Hills Drive split by Clear Choice Development Group.
Henderson Symphony
The Henderson Symphony Orchestra is kicking off their 22nd season under the direction of Conductor Taras Krysa with guest artists Katherine Mathiasmeier on trumpet and Molly Murphy on English horn.
A pre-performance discussion will be held at 1 p.m. to introduce the audience to the history of the pieces being performed. The concert will feature Aaron Copland’s “Quiet City,” as well as pieces from Richard Strauss and Mozart.Â
The first concert of the season is free, and it begins at 2 p.m. at the Henderson Pavillion on Sunday Sept. 14.
Acacia Demonstration Gardens
The Acacia Demonstration Gardens at Acacia Park offer fall gardening classes to help gardeners with their seasonal gardens beginning Sept. 13.
One of the most popular classes offered every year is “Growing Cool Season Veggies,” where a master gardener will offer tips and tricks on growing things like garlic, spinach and various lettuces for free.
The gardens are open year round, and they display different types of gardens that are drought tolerant and water smart. Acacia is located near Gibson and the 215.
Giant Dust Devils!
Neighborhood Guide Reporter Shannon Onstot was driving near Henderson Executive Airport when she saw two giant dust devils. They were over 100 feet high, and were swirling around a construction site.
Check out the video she managed to capture from the side of the road.

Wow, I guess if you live in the right neighborhood and have enough money you can get a cell phone tower. Hell, I can’t even get a customer service representative on the phone to take a complaint.
