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.
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.
Great places to sit and have your coffee too.
ReplyDeleteGreat contrast to the building in the background. Very nice perspective.
