Text Alerts and “ASK” an Ambassador<\/strong><\/p>\n From traffic updates to lunch specials,\u00a0the\u00a0latest and greatest Downtown\u00a0information can be had via\u00a0\u00a0text alerts <\/a>from downtownphoenix.com. For instance, if you were signed up to receive Sports or\u00a0Deal texts, this week you would have known\u00a0that the Suns<\/a> were selling upper-level seats to Tuesday’s game against Charlotte for $10\u00a0and that 20 percent of Wednesday’s sales at Baja Fresh<\/a> went directly to Helping Hands for Haiti. Also, whenever you have a question you can text “ASK” to 25866 and one of our helpful Ambassadors<\/a> will quickly supply you with the right answer. Trust me when I tell you that the peeps running around\u00a0in the orange shirts are wicked smart when it comes to everything Downtown Phoenix.<\/p>\n If you work Downtown, no doubt you\u00a0are faced with a handful of lunch quandaries a month: Where should we go for lunch today? Where should we take this client?\u00a0What are you hungry for? How much do you want to spend? What’s close to your office? Between our Directory<\/a>, our =Picks<\/a>, Coupons & Deals<\/a>, and Pick a Place<\/a> feature, we’ve got\u00a0every possible\u00a0dining dilemma covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n What’s Happening<\/strong><\/p>\n You can download our handy\u00a0What’s Happening Weekly <\/a>\u00a0guide–which details\u00a0every concert, museum exhibit,\u00a0play, happy hour, DJ appearance, sporting event and community gathering going on in Downtown–each and every Monday morning.<\/p>\n Weekly Insider<\/strong><\/p>\n If you don’t visit the Downtown Blog <\/a>on a regular basis (shame on you, by the way),\u00a0 you can receive blog highlights every Thursday by subscribing to our Weekly Insider e-newsletter. When you become a subscriber at downtownphoenix.com<\/a>, we’ll ask which subjects are of the greatest interest to you–Deals, Arts & Culture, Sports,\u00a0Music, Dining, Nightlife, etc.–and custom-tailor your\u00a0Weekly Insider to reflect those preferences. Pretty slick, right? And if you happen to be\u00a0an\u00a0aspiring Downtown Blogger, there’s even an application<\/a> to join our editorial army.\u00a0<\/p>\n Social Networking<\/strong><\/p>\n Downtown Phoenix has jumped into the social networking pool with both feet and now you can be a part of our online community through\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0Are you an ace photographer?\u00a0If so, we’re\u00a0always\u00a0seeking new members\u00a0for our Flickr<\/a>\u00a0group.\u00a0<\/p>\n So as you can see, you needn’t\u00a0fully embrace technology to join the\u00a0online community at\u00a0downtownphoenix.com.\u00a0A fist-pump will do\u00a0just fine. Or maybe a bro-hug.<\/p>\n I get it. Not everyone is married to technology. So you\u00a0don’t Facebook from your Palm or\u00a0Uber-Tweet from\u00a0your BlackBerry. You may not even know the difference between an iPhone, an iPad and an iCarly. It’s OK.
