Downtown Mesa.

We are exploring the new, up and coming or otherwise unique and interesting neighborhoods around the Valley in an occasional segment we are calling the "Hot Corner."

It's time to head out to another of the Valley’s hot corners, spots around town with a lot going on. Let’s meet our tour guide.

"I’m Kimber Lanning. I’m the executive director of Local First Arizona," said Lanning.

I met her outside the Mesa Arts Center, at Center and Main Streets in downtown Mesa. And, as you will hear, it was a bit blustery during our conversation.

We want to know what’s cool about your neighborhood. Email us at [email protected].
