Room Location
Scottsdale Community Design Studio, 7506 E. Indian School Road

This event is full, but if you sign up for the wait list, you'll be notified by email if there is an opening. 

Join us for a unique Scottsdale storytelling session as you nibble on sweet treats from b Naked Chocolates in Old Town Scottsdale. Listen as storyteller Bruce Wall covers two of the most notorious crimes in the 1950s in Scottsdale. The first is about the DUI arrest of one of Scottsdale’s most famous residents. What happened in court will surprise you! The second story is about a town councilman who was shot to death in his home, but the twists in the story play out like a movie. Who were the suspects? Was the case ever solved? Those over 13 are welcome (parental guidance suggested). Please register because we are expecting a full house!


How to find Stories & Sweets

This presentation is hosted in the Community Design Studio, a building that looks like an old church (because it was!) and is on the northeast corner of 75th Street and Indian School Road.

We have limited parking on the west and north sides of the building, but you can park in the lot to the north at the Methodist Church.


This presentation is part of Stories & Sweets, a collection of stories shared throughout June. It is presented by the City of Scottsdale and Community Involvement Advisor Bruce Wall. There will be three additional Stories & Sweets on Tuesdays in June, including:

  • Week 2: THE Place to be Seen and The Indomitable Woman of Scottsdale. Register
  • Week 4: Scottsdale and the Little Red Schoolhouse. Register

Each presentation is considered standalone. You can pick and choose which presentations you want to attend.
