DeSoto Central Market Has Closed Its Doors For Good And I'm Not OK With It

Central Phoenix has plenty of hidden gems all across its perimeters. It's nearly impossible to find a place exactly like the other. With its unique restaurant and coffee shop selection, this is what makes Central Phoenix stand out more than any other part of Arizona.

I've explored many of the restaurants that lay hidden within even the deepest corners of Central Phoenix and to choose just one favorite spot is simply not do-able. Among my very long list of hidden gems that I have a love for is DeSoto Central Market.

You can imagine my sheer disappointment when I received news that they were closing their doors for good.

On Monday, August 20th, DeSoto Central Market released this statement,

"To all of our loyal customers,
We sincerely apologize but the DeSoto concept will be closing effective immediately Monday, August 20th, 2018. Over the years we have helped incubate restaurants beyond the walls of DeSoto as part of its mission and also be creative in hosting various events to bring the community together.
We appreciate all our customers and the community for supporting us over the years.
Don't worry the building will remain and plans for the use of the space are in the works.
Thank you,
DeSoto Central Market"

As a family-orientated place where all were welcome with open arms, the sudden closing left me in total shock. Out of the many places I spend time at during my adventures Downtown, DeSoto was always the busiest.

While DeSoto Central Market may be closed, its reputation will never be forgotten.

DeSoto Central Market set the standards high for other restaurants and shops that follow its legacy. It was built for love, memories, and special moments with friends. The service was unlike no other and its seating made you feel right at home. With music grooving all through the day and constant events to bring the community together, DeSoto Central Market and it's memory will remain with the Central Phoenix community forever.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
