New Iconic Image of Mesa Mayor John On-Horseback

One of your MesaZona's favorite objects of affection is our most versatile holder of elected public office who occupies the highest seat of power inside of City Hall: MayorJohn Giles.

He's just uploaded a new image of himself on Twiiter recently with the caption, time-stamped at 06:21 on 27 Jan 2018 when he was actually in real-time in Washington, DC.

"Ready to go to work" ....
Now really, folks, does John Giles look ready to go to work? Looks like he could used a wake-up call.
So far as social media results from Twitter = 13 Likes that include yours truly
Happy Trails to John Giles!

Up On The Roof @ El Rancho Del Sol: Installation of Renewable Energy Solar Panels

View on Main Street looking East
This local independent blog started from the ground-up three years ago featuring posts about innovative and affordable housing developments here in The New Urban Downtown Mesa that have collectively added about 500 residential units regenerating under-used properties transforming the city landscape.
Case in Point: El Rancho Del Sol, two buildings on East Main Street along the line of Valley Metro's Light Rail Extension through the Central Business District in August 2015. What you see today is an on-site installation in-the-works.
Rooftop Solar is rising on in a forward-looking and inspired project by Eric Paine's Community Development Partners and designed by Perlman Architects that raises a new higher standard in workforce housing: built-in-place on the ground floor sidewalk-level spaces from the get-go to benefit the residents who live here by making resources available for arts education-and-culture ongoing programs by The Cultural Coalition, behavioral support services by New Leaf, a computer and media lab, a bicycle cooperative, green living/sustainability by Garden Pool, and a well-equipped commercial kitchen facility . 
Sun Valley Solar has completed the installation on one of the new buildings atop the 4th story that's visible very close-up as well as the wide-angle panoramic view shown above.
The next stage is scheduled for completion very soon atop the rooftop super structure at 659 E Main Street [seen at left]
Blogger Note: Many thanks to Eric Paine and Community Development Partners and all the people who have invested their time, energies and finance to bring this project to completion.
Special thanks to Christian Hulme who somehow manages to coordinate every construction detail and has extended the courtesy to be available for walk-arounds and numerous updates.

Competing For Eye Balls: IT'S ABOUT TIME> Facebook + Google Try Local

That's one of the stories this morning from Axios. . . but Hey Folks! your MesaZona blogger isn't a dude who likes to shake his own Pom-Poms but who's been doing this for almost three years right here in Mesa?
Thank you, dear readers, for taking the time to read this blog to encourage meaningful interactions that build community.
AXIOS MEDIA TRENDS
Facebook announced Monday that it will begin prioritizing local news content in the News Feed. The news follows Google's confirmation last week that it's testing a hyper-local news app called Bulletin.
Why it matters: Local and national news outlets have for months been split on the way they view their publishing relationships with Google and Facebook.
  • National news outlets have generally been more critical of Facebook's efforts to fairly compensate publishers, provide them with data and elevate their brands.
  • Local news outlets share these concerns, but see Facebook and Google as important technology partners . . .
YES: That's what works here in Mesa
