Note: This is part 2 of several entries with photos from around Tempe. When I went to ASU Tempe Campus from 1997 to 1999 the majority of the large buildings were either on the ASU Campus (Manzantia Hall, the Physical Science Building) or own leased by ASU (University Towers on Fifth and College). During this time the largest commercial building in the area was the Chase Bank building on Mill Ave and University. The largest residential NOT part of ASU was Hayden’s Landing along Ash between Third and Fourth Streets.
Note: This is the first of several entries with photos from around Tempe. There has been lots of news how the economic downturn has wiped out a good chunk of the construction jobs in Arizona. Especially, when it comes to housing. However it seems the northern portion of Tempe, specifically along the new lightrail line, ASU/Downtown and the Tempe Town Lake has been immune to this downturn. If anything this area is booming. There are two huge projects near McClintock and Apache Blvd (Main Street in Mesa). These projects are right along the lightrail line and about a mile east…
About 10-years ago most of the old Tri-City Mall (on Main Street between Dobson and Sycamore in Mesa) had been demolished and a new smaller shopping center had been built in its place. However, the old JC Penny building (more like shell) still remained for several more years. Mesa had plans on renovating the building into offices but that never took off. Further Mesa did not want to spend the money to have the building demolished.
Chase’s Diner is a place I frequent for breakfast and lunch.
Came home th other night to find this visitor hanging out under my porch light. Upon posting these photo (taken with my new camera) on a discussion forum I later learned this was a Sphinx Moth.
