30-Second Spot: Celebrate The Holidays on Merry Main Street

This is it for 'a teaser' ???     NOT even close!
Surely city-owned Mesa Channel 11 can do a better job than this meager short feature to promote and market and publicize Merry Main Street 2019. Try again...
Looks like RINKY-DINK is back for another year and all those tired SELFIE-STATIONS and the plastic 40-ft high plastic tree imported from China that has been the official tree sponsored by the Mesa Chamber of Commerce?  
Tell me how much you can get excited and thrilled watching this?
How about "Jack Frost's Food Truck Forest" - on Fridays or Saturdays . . does that jack-up your thrill level when they don't know whether it is either Friday or Saturday??
The site selection is Pioneer Park where there will be no Christmas Light Display at the Temple across Main Street this year.

About This Event
BLOGGER NOTE: Although some of the declarative statements reproduced here may be questionable in many respects, the following copy is provided direct from the source
The Mesa Christmas Market is the premier Christmas Market in the East Valley.
It shares a location with the Merry Main St Christmas Tree which has over 6,000 visitors at its Christmas Tree lighting ceremony and down the street from the Merry Main Skating Rink.
The quality of a traditional Christmas market depends on maintaining a high standard of the vendor products it offers.

OK . . . Are you now ready for this???
". . an experience filled with European charm and elegance"

SAY WHAT? Now that's a stretch of imagination! Historic Downtown is a remnant of days-gone-by - there are more than 10 near empty or vacant 'historic properties' on the market right now, marked available for something CBRE calls creative retail.
