HOW WAS THE NEW TAVERN NAME SELECTED?
We worked with a marketing firm who presented several ideas. The Westwind name and logo were selected. Part of the design inspiration is that the west wind is responsible for much of Arizona’s meteorological phenomena, including the beautiful cumulus clouds that form over the area, bringing both monsoon rains and welcome cloud cover. The cloud portion of the logo is a bold, yet simple mark that is an ode to relief, shelter, and nourishment that the west wind brings—like the Westwind will bring to the PebbleCreek community. The word and font part of the logo embraces modern rustic aesthetics with a bold, one-of-a-kind design that is both timeless and memorable. Another tie to the name is the fact that the Westwind is on the west side of our community and on the West Course.

WHAT ABOUT EAGLE’S NEST RESTAURANT?
The comfort food and familiar feeling of this long-favored restaurant and dedicated staff has not changed. You will still experience the same friendly service and menu. None of the items on the Westwind menu will be duplicated at Eagle’s Nest or vice versa. These two restaurants will remain part of the same family, but yet distinct in their offerings. Eagle’s Nest will still offer your favorite activities like Karaoke Wednesday, Pasta Night, Fish Fry Friday, and special holiday dinners like Mother’s Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Eagle’s Nest Restaurant hours of operation will adjust sometime in November and be similar to what they were prior to the closure of Toscana’s. Watch for this information in an upcoming issue of Cheers!, PebbleNews, and on the HOA website.
