Bet the pharma Maricopa’s first Walgreens store opened at the corner of John Wayne Parkway and Smith-Enke Road in early 2004. This InMaricopa file photo depicts the storefront with a “NOW OPEN” banner hanging and fresh coat of parking- lot paint. The first location did so well that Walgreens built a second one at The Wells in 2007 — but the store spent 13 years in purgatory following the Great Recession.
“Due to the crash of the economy and an insufficient population base, we don’t feel Maricopa can currently support two Walgreens,” corporate spokesman Robert Elfinger told InMaricopa in 2010. “Let’s just say the economy needs to return.” The second pharmacy would eventually open in 2020, just in time for another generational economic contraction.

The InMaricopa team handed out thousands of hard-to-get surgical masks to local residents who drove by the magazine’s Honeycutt Road office during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The magazine box in front of the office was transformed into an impromptu food pantry.
Native New Yorker reopened as Native Grill & Wings, but the restaurant had more than just a new name. Everything from the lights and paint to the bar top and TVs were upgraded. The interior redesign was meant to open the feel of the restaurant and appeal to a wider audience, the owners said.
An elderly woman was struck and killed by a car on Honeycutt Avenue, just west of Taft Avenue, on her way to Mass at Our Lady of Grace Church. Aurora Combs, 80, was barely breathing and bleeding profusely when she was air-evacuated to Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix where she was pronounced dead. The driver, who was not seriously injured, was deemed not at fault.
A mosquito captured in Maricopa tested positive for West Nile Virus, the first in Arizona that year. In response, Pinal County officials gave Maricopa residents free Gambusia fish to release into the city’s many manmade lakes. The fish loved snacking on infected mosquito larvae, keeping the spread of diseased insects at bay.
