Deja Vu All Over Again: Valley Metro is Hitting Hard with Promoting Downtown Mesa

Sorry folks but yours truly is really getting tired of the word "discover" . . . it's been over-used since 1492 but since Valley Metro is taking the lead and initiative especially when they have so much "riding on the line", yours truly will join the cheerleaders (but he's got no pom-poms to shake)
BTW Thanks to Yogi Berra for his take on the catchy French-phrase, but yours truly would like to suggest: Find Your Reasons but here we go again on the big advertising push!
Discover New Destinations in MesaGet ready to discover Mesa like never before. On Saturday, August 22, Valley Metro Rail will take riders into downtown Mesa for the first time. The 3.1-mile extension will serve an additional 5,000 riders a day and help serve the growing need for public transportation in the region. The new destinations and connections riders will soon discover and the completion of a successful construction project seven months ahead of schedule is reason to celebrate.


On August 22, join Valley Metro for a ribbon cutting ceremony at Center/Main St. at 8 a.m. Then enjoy blocks of family fun at all four new light rail stations from 9 a.m. to noon.  Stop at each station to check out the showcase of local businesses and fun activities unique to the area. The station celebrations will include music, food and games. Commemorative passes will be available at all five Mesa light rail stations during the celebration.

Here's a link to a little on-the-job training with the startup of a new blog written by Ann Glaser who opens like this and starting to learn after getting hired by Valley Metro how transit connects people and places ?
Over the past 15 years, with most of those working at a local television news program, I learned quite a bit about what the Valley of the Sun has to offer.  Despite being armed with the power of knowledge, I rarely ventured outside of my neighborhood bubble. Now that my career has taken me to Valley Metro, I’m learning how transit connects people to places and the variety of destinations that are available to anyone. One of those places is central Mesa. Take a ride on Valley Metro Rail to find those new discoveries. Mesa is the third largest city in Arizona with a population of nearly half a million. Yet, I found myself wondering, what does downtown Mesa have to offer me? I decided it’s time to discover Mesa. - See more at: http://www.valleymetro.org/inside_the_ride/detail/discovering-mesa#sthash.YLaVy5yZ.dpuf
