Mill Avenue lies in the heart of downtown Tempe. It's seen many changes over its 135 year history. Find out where it's been, where it's going and how it keeps up with the times.
What a big crock of shit! I first visited here in 1990 and 21 years later, I've never seen such a massive undertaking to urbanize and build high rises, send rent & lease rates skyrocketing, and now a huge vacancy rate! What happened to Borders, Cold Stone Creamery, Plantation Coffee? Harkins Theaters? This place is losing character more and more every year, and their answer always seems to be, tear down and build prettier buildings that they can sell back to ASU as a hedge! What a joke.
ok for a marketing puff piece to 'sell' the street. obvious selection of images to slant the point of view. not really a 'history', but what can you do in 7 minutes? how or why Trevor Barger was asked to be in this? oh, i remember, he likes the hi-rises. and Nancy H. has been here...? appreciate most the business owners sticking with it to any place! one person said "Downtown Tempe", that's an important concept; x, y, not z above 60 ft. hope the taxpayers didnt pay for this.

Hey... BTW... how are those high rise condos doing???
I call this a "puff piece" and how truthful it is or how respectful Tempe has been of its past is completely left out.
