RIP: Tempe Arizona Mill Ave

Downtowntown Tempe Arizona is slowly dying. Mill Ave at one time was very busy. Today shops and restaurants are going out of business. City streets in the Tempe Mill Ave district area are all meter parking. Make sure to bring change for pay for your parking spaces.

Update: Sergeant Carbajal, Tempe Police Department, just followed up with me on my phone call to his department this am. According to the sergeant, no police report was made last night on anyone being maced.
