West Warner Rd, Tempe

Kyrene starts in central Tempe, at a railroad crossing, and goes south from there. Between Baseline and Guadalupe there is an industrial district on the east and residential on the west. The industrial area contains a steel foundry, which should be avoided when they are melting (evenings during the summer, mornings & afternoons during the winter). It's mostly commercial for the next two miles or so. There is an ice rink just a little bit south of Guadalupe, and some pretty alright restaurants at Eliot. Take a right past the Sonic, and there's a YC's and a good sushi place. A friend tells me that the kebab restaruant is good, too. Kyrene eventually leads into Chandler, and becomes a suburban arterial, with lots of shopping malls, subdivisions, etc. Kyrene in Tempe is a pretty much a plain vanilla light commercial/industrial area.
