sorry about the late "hit", here;
I did not see this before...

This part does not sound right; Now, "in Litchfield Park near Camelback and
Dysart"
is WAY on the West side of town, so Mesa would be even further away than
Tempe;
and some other location of "Red 7" might be closer than either one of
those...
(does the Camelback Road location of "Red 7", about 20th Street, in
Phoenix, still exist?)
PS: I have been to Red 7 before, and I have done business there, (circa
Aug./Sep. 2006),
but only at the Mesa branch, and the [Phoenix] one on Camelback Rd about
20th Street.
HTH,
