The Midtown Museum District

For those who have been keeping track of events in midtown Phoenix concerning Willo and their strange practices, the following should come as no surprise.

In a 10 June 2008 post to my other blog, "The News from Downtown Phoenix", I proposed something akin to a Central Avenue Alliance. Well, thanks to a few enterprising individuals in the City of Phoenix and Tapestry on Central, it is going to happen!

Enter in the Midtown Museum District. Our mission is to be a group of residents and businesses that seek to network with each other. At the same time, we seek to be an inclusive neighborhood and an urban catalyst seeking to improve the quality of life for our residents and the prosperity of our businesses.

The boundaries are a bit confusing but they are:

• McDowell Road to the south,
• Indian School Road to the north,
• 1st Avenue or thereabouts (between McDowell and Thomas) and 3rd Avenue (between Thomas and Indian School) to the west, and
  
• 3rd Street to the east

We're still in formation, but if you are within our boundaries or if you know of anyone within these boundaries (residents or businesses!) who wants to join us, please e-mail us at midtownmuseumdistrict@gmail.com. You can follow us on Twitter at @midtownmuseum, or check out our interim blog at http://midtownmuseumdistrict.wordpress.com/.

Thanks!
