From Shopping to Learning

This area in downtown Phoenix started its life as The Mercado, a shopping and dining place. Now it is part of the downtown campus of Arizona State University. What a pleasant place for learning.

  3. The expansion of the downtown Phoenix campus of ASU has added life and vitality to downtown, as the presence of young people on the streets is a good thing, and it will help support local restaurants.
