How to turn empty land into an outdoor entertainment venue
RAILmesa and Valley Metro have been screening family-oriented movies on a blank wall in a "sliver lot" on the south side of Main Street near Country Club Drive for quite some time now - now it's a billboard for free movies on 2nd Friday Night's Out in the new urban downtown Mesa that developed from an idea by business owner/artist + community-building activist Amy Castillo.
The empty lot was one of the locations that owner Brian Marshall of Village Bloom talked about in the July 14, 2015 visit here by John Williams, head of the San Francisco Federal Bank featured in a post on this blogsite August 06.
The downtown tour was organized by Terry Benelli, executive director of LISC/Phoenix to focus on local initiatives for sustainable communities.
You won't see a wildly wonderful show like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" - that's for after-midnight crowds and a different demographic
2nd Friday Nights Out has other events in the works for the night of November 13th 6-10 pm
