Bagelfeld’s is doing its best to turn a lemon into lemonade this summer.
The Valley bagel shop posted a one-star review they received a year ago. The review says: “This place sucks. Never any bagels after 6:10 a.m. Can anyone tell me why a bagel shop has no bagels?”

Bagelfeld’s offered six free bagels to anyone who showed up this morning in an attempt to run out by 6:10 a.m.
And, so no one would forget the genesis of the event, the eatery said it would give out 250 free bumper stickers featuring the review.
Bagelfeld’s Phoenix location caught on fire in April and has been closed since, but its Tempe location remains open. Wren House Brewing Company released a special beer last month to help raise money for Bagelfeld’s rebuilding.

On Monday, we talked about the fight between Scottsdale residents and police manufacturing company Axon over its plans to build a new headquarters in the city.
The company, which makes items like Tasers and body cameras, touts job creation and economic growth as part of its proposed $1.3 billion campus.
However, some residents are concerned about its impact on traffic and the need to change zoning to allow construction of the headquarters.
I asked what you all thought about the situation, and here’s what you said:
💬 “Axon should absolutely build and stay in Scottsdale.” — Robert A.
💬 “Mega corporations and their heinous CEOs constantly claim their crap companies will bring jobs, when many of these jobs are minimum wage, at best. Yes there are construction jobs but these are temporary. Without question, many of these jobs will be turned over to AI, leaving Scottsdale with another company demanding tax breaks that locals will pay for decades.” — Kate F.
💬 “I think Axon is a good fit. Job’s for Arizona. Traffic only at rush hour. Rush hour Traffic is always a concern. In my City it is. Tucson has two data centers going in. Water and electric use a concern with them. Water is the main issue with myself. ” — James W.

Join COURIER and 3.14 Action on June 11 for Facts vs. Fiction: The Fight for Science in American Democracy.
Misinformation isn’t just noise. It’s shaping policy decisions that determine who can afford care, which communities are protected, and how our government responds to real-world risks.
This live conversation will examine what’s at stake when facts are ignored and how science-informed leadership has shaped policy on healthcare, climate, agriculture, and public health. At a moment when institutions and public trust are under attack, we’ll explore what happens when decision-making is driven by evidence, what it takes to rebuild trust, and why scientific integrity is essential to democracy.
Stay tuned for more speaker announcements, and don’t miss this conversation.
