It must be a West Mesa kind of day.
Here is an update on some of the goings on in the excitedly named "Fiesta District" which, if you recall, is the name the City paid a lot of money for. I have made my thoughts known on that before, but the rest of the stuff is promising for the revitalization of the area.
The blue building has gotten some improvements as well as construction has started on some of the new stores at Fiesta Mall. Several retailers are moving into new digs and it even looks like the place is starting to clean up a bit. This is good news, but there are still some concerns:
1. All of this planned construction has the potential to be put off. As the economy tanks, nothing is set in stone. I am not trying to jinx these projects, but a couple of high rise condos, hip hotels, and theaters could risk being put on hold if outlooks don't improve.
2. These rennovations are all fine and good, but whats happening with the northwest corner of Alma School and Southern? The district will always struggle as long as that eye sore remains a part of it.

I spoke with Scott Smith's son yesterday regarding the northwest corner. For years the retards at the City of Mesa fought with the owners of that empty retail center. They fined the owners because the parking lot lines were faded and the city wanted them to paint. Pay thousands of dollars in fines to paint stupid lines in a retail center that is 100% empty. I'm happy to say that the retail center will be demolished in a couple months making way for high rise condos, similar to what is found in Vegas. Now I feel they should demolish everything west of Lindsay road and just start over. Scott Smith said that his focus is economic development. I wish he was around when the Cardinals stadium was supposed to be located at Riverview. Keno Hawker and his retarded council ruined Mesa, it will take awhile to recover.
