    After a night of partying, want a late night healthy treat instead of the classic fast food? Welcome back to Only Old Town's Podcast with Brian and James and today we interview Devon, the owner of Berry Berry Best Açaí Bowls. Before we talk to him, we're going to highlight some new businesses and at the end talk about upcoming events this week. For our new businesses, a new apartment complex just opened up called Scottsdale on Main, and we have a brand new men's hat bar opening up on 1st Ave from the owner of Rooster Bus in 5th ave shopping district. We had the pleasure of interviewing Berry Berry Açaí Bowl's owner, Devon, who's a Arizona native and has grown up an athlete. He played basketball all the way up past college and traveled around the world. His experience as an athlete inspired him to open up his shop because he wanted more healthy options. For anyone looking to stay healthy, açaí bowls are for you! Devon hand picks his produce because he wants best for customers and he loves to enjoy them for himself as well. Plus, there's no extra charge to build your own bowl, so there are unlimited options! He owns two locations, one in Scottsdale and one in Sunnyslope. In Scottsdale, his shop will feature a takeout window open until 3:30 am, opening up soon. Follow them on instagram and make sure to try one of their delicious, fresh açaí bowls. Some upcoming events for this week are, of course the last week and a half of Spring training. On Thursday: An Art walk, Wine around the World, SF Jazz Collective show. On Friday: Mystery in the Museum, Floats at Maya Day Club, Open Mike night at Yellow Spruce Roasters, Karaoke night at Wok and Roll.
