Greasewood Flats

 Doc Cavalliere opened Greasewood Flats in 1975 in what was then a remote desert area of north Scottsdale along Alma School Road, north of Happy Valley Road. The place has an outdoor dance floor, rustic wagons, corrals, old cars and more.  Greasewood Flats is now closed.

“We wanted to keep operating, but there were some issues when my grandfather died, and we did not control the land,” said his grandson, Justin. “A trustee bank controlled the land, and they sold the land (to developers) against our wishes.”
One of the things Greasewood Flats is famous for are the dollar bills that customers have hung from the ceiling over the years. 
“The dollar bills started this way. You could come in and say ‘times are pretty good.'” He said. “You could write your name on the dollar and put it behind the bar, so that when times were bad, you’d have a dollar to buy a drink.” 

Those bills were raffled off as part of an auction for Children's Hospital. Estimates on how much money is hanging from the ceiling and walls range from $2,000 to $10,000.
