A Different POV: Downtown Mesa's "Arts-and-Culture District"

It's def-not the usual image most people see. It is, however the view from a 2nd Floor Observation Deck in a building on the opposite side of an avenue. With a high block wall and barbed wire on the top it sends what at least one person says is "the wrong message".
It's a relic from the glorious 1950's: a gas station built in 1952 that sold for $775,000 in 1998, changing-hands again in a private transaction for $545,000 in 2016 two years ago. Location-location-location.
Highest-and-best use for 26,611 Sq. Ft?  

The good news:
the SWC of Center Street/1st Street is "available"
Just read the sign in front on the sidewalk >
