I frequented the Zia on Thunderbird but preferred the selection, and freakier clientele, on Camelback (or maybe it was Thomas?). As for radio, everyone with a plaid shirt and doc martens dove onto the Edge but I still loved that damned little AM station, maybe KUKQ? Late one night the DJ must have walked away for a smoke as they played about 4 songs from The Cure back to back with a ton of dead air after. Then a mic squeaked, followed by a *thump-thump* and a voice, “Is anyone still alive out there?” Must have been about 3 in the morning. Thanks for the throwback
I don't know, the GI in "Shore Leave" seems like a decent enough fellow.
And Phoenix seems like the least Tom Waits place ever.
It's easier to see it at night, in the parts of town where nighthawks congregate.

I grew up on the West side, so Thunderbird was my usual haunt!
Me too. Glendale High.
My grandpa Bob Callin taught math there. I went to Cactus, though.
