Happy Last Weekend in Phoenix without METRO!

I know you're all sad that this is the last weekend in Phoenix without METRO Light Rail. I am, too. [end sarcasm]

The thing that is extremely hard to believe is that it seems like yesterday when Central Avenue was still 3 lanes with the fancy bricks running down the center. Or when construction started in front of my house. Or even when we hit the 100-days-to-go plateau. But it's here, and the grand opening celebrations are in ONE WEEK!

I'm probably going to be helping out that day at the Heard Museum (Encanto/Central Ave station) promoting the Midtown Museum District Neighborhood Association. I work with them as a community engagement partner for businesses, residents, and METRO Light Rail. So, if you're going to be riding the rails that day (so to speak), stop by and say hello. (I'm the tall one.)



Cheers-
Edward Jensen

Great photo, Eddie! Do you mind if we use this in the new upcoming Urban and Metropolitan Studies newsletter? :)
