On a pleasant Saturday afternoon during what experts call the tail end of the pandemic, downtown Mesa shows signs of vibrancy.Â
The ârestaurant rowâ strip of Main Street between Center and Robson is percolating, with locals hitting the coffee shops or having lunch-and-drinks at places like Mangos, Tacos Chiwas and Margaritas Mexican restaurants and 12 West Brewing.
A half-dozen blocks east, groups gather for picnics at Pioneer Park. Next door, more folks chow down on the patio at Haven Burgers.
Others chat through their masks while waiting for the light rail stop in the middle of Main Street. The mass-transit usersâ eyes likely gazed at the âNow leasingâ announcement of a building on the corner of Main and Mesa Drive.
