Currently, Fifth Street is the home of Aside of Heart Vegan Cafe, Lawn Gnome Publishing, Longhouse Studios, Think! Graphics, Take 6 Gallery, Made Artist's Boutique, Jobot Coffee Shop, The Lost Leaf, Missconstrued Boutique, Rezbot, Bodega 420, and Spread The Weird Studios. Fifth Street is known for being a gathering place of college students, artists, writers, poets, musicians, community organizers, activists, politicians, food service entrepreneurs, and travelers. The street has been featured on several television programs because of it's innovative and groundbreaking murals, business models, and community programs. Joey G, a creative engineer that has worked at several of the businesses on Fifth Street was once quoted by CNN as saying, "there's no reason why there should not be 100 people on this street at any given time, 24 hours a day." Today, the businesses that are open cater to a wide range of entertainment, culture, food, information and services while remaining friendly to pet owners, cyclists, and vegetarians. Many artists have been spotted on this street, including (but not limited to) Murs, Stevie Nicks, Saul Williams, 2Mex, Casebeer, Lalo Cota, El Mac, Ryan Avery, Tara Logsdon, Djentrifrication, Pickster One, JB Snyder, Grant Hill, Sean Bonnette (Andrew Jackson Jihad), Aaron Johnson (poet), Mike Cause (Drunken Immortals), Randal Wilson (skateboarder and painter from Shake Junt). Fifth Street is located within the umbrella of Roosevelt Row. Roosevelt Row has been a vital mixed use area from the earliest days of the establishment of Phoenix. Many of the concrete sidewalks in the neighborhood were poured in 1909, three years before Arizona officially became the 48th State. In the early 1940s, when there were approximately 30,000 people living in Phoenix, numerous businesses were established along Roosevelt Street. The flower shop at Fifth Street and Roosevelt has been in continuous operation since 1948.

Peritoneum is a freestanding organic shade and seating sculpture constructed to turn a transient ASU Tempe campus location into an attractive public destination. It was designed and implemented by a student team composed of three landscape architects, one graphic designer, and an artist. The organic nature of the sculpture is meant to create the feel of a comfortable and immersive environment that people would enjoy interacting with. Being set in a desert climate, the color palette for the sculpture was chosen to contrast the harsh nature of the surroundings by focusing on cooler blue and purple hues. An exercise in collaborative design, each student designer contributed his or her own specialized input to make a more successful end project. In June 2012, to make way for a new public art piece on the ASU site, Peritoneum was moved to Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix by the design team and community volunteers.

They call Elias Loewy the Jewish Schindler. There's some irony to the title, because Elias Loewy, a Jewish refugee from Europe, founded the Phoenix synagogue where Steven Spielberg became a bar mitzvah, decades before Spielberg would make Oskar Schindler's story world famous. Together with French administrator Camille Ernst, and at tremendous risk to himself and his family, Loewy finagled the release of some 1,500 Jews from French deportation camps in the early 1940s. For his "inefficiency" in arresting Jews, Camille Ernst was sent to Dachau. He survived and returned to France in 1945; in 1971, he was named as "Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem. Elias Loewy's two sons fought with the French resistance; one – Fred Loewy – survived. After the war, Elias Loewy and his family emigrated to the United States and ended up in Arizona, because the climate was deemed better for Elias' poor health. In Phoenix, Elias helped establish the Jewish Free Loan Society, to help less fortunate refugees. And in 1950, he co-founded Beth Hebree, also known as Beth Hebrew, an Orthodox congregation located on what was then the east side of Phoenix, so that Jews in that part of town could walk to shul on Shabbat. With the help of the improbably named Abraham Lincoln Krohn, a Reform Rabbi in Phoenix for whom social justice was a central tenet of Judaism, Loewy and company were able to raise the funds to build an elegant, light filled modern building at 333 East Portland. Rabbi Krohn donated the Torah. Designed by architect Max Kaufman as a testament to the future of Jewish life in a new country, the building still stands. In spite of its dilapidated condition, its bones are solid. But, like so many historic buildings in Phoenix, Beth Hebree is for the most part unknown and unsung. Despite the best efforts of Elias' son Fred, who painstakingly documented the history of his family and of the congregation, and whose testimony was documented by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and by the Shoah Foundation, the Beth Hebree building languishes. And it (WAS) in imminent danger. Letters of support for the preservation of this unique monument have come from as far afield as Jewish Heritage UK and from the group "Documentation and Conservation of Monuments of the Modern Movement," in France. Art historian Fabienne Chevallier, on behalf of the latter organization, writes, "even in France, we have heard about the present state of the Portland Street Synagogue, formerly known as Beth Hebree. This building has meaning for those interested in modern architecture, the preservation of history through the monuments that record it, and also for humanitarians. We know that Monsieur E. Loewy, an émigré from France to the USA, was instrumental in establishing the congregation that originally built the synagogue and conducted worship there; he performed heroic deeds to save his fellow Jews in France, and was surely a welcome addition to the population of Phoenix." Fred Loewy died in 2006. He told the story of Beth Hebree to anyone prepared to listen, right up until his death. He talked about how the light streamed in through the high windows, about how Abraham Lincoln Krohn contributed items to the time capsule that is the building's cornerstone. Now it is up to the next generation to ensure that the story of the Loewys, a quintessentially American story of surviving the unthinkable without losing oneself, lives on in the building that exists as a monument to their courage and their tenacity, and to that of the Jewish people.
