It's been more than 19 months since then-AZ State Senator Bob Worsley plunked down what he said was $20M to gamble in real estate speculation at the same time holding public office to gain title investing in various holding companies to more than eight so-called "historic properties" built between 1910-1954 than line both sides of the sidewalks on Main Street from Robson Street to Center Street just before the end of 2017.
As you can see in the featured opening image, 9 of those properties are presented as available. Retail opportunities in commercial properties on Main Street offered by Caliber are getting out-paced by two other investment groups. Pass by and take a look.

< This is the empty location viewed from outside at the NWC of Robson & Main Street used to film a promotional video by Caliber The Wealth Creation Company that owns a portfolio of nine "under-utilized" commercial properties that were scooped-up in low-ball deals before the end of 2017 by then AZ Senator Bob Worsley who gambled in real estate speculation at the same time he held public office.

Can you build main streets in the suburbs?

If you care about cities, this video upload presents a fairly good look at the history and evolution of what we here in America call "Main Street" and the quintessential proverbial 'historic' and 'authentic' downtowns that changed forever when streets and traffic were no longer driven by people who lived and walked downtown.
Car-driven culture moved populations to bedroom-communities in the new suburbs, creating shopping malls, some that were climate-controlled. That evolved to try to re-create what turned out to 'authentic-ish' but were reacted to as fake or un-authentic.
What's happening now is the creation of Life-Style Centers to provide "the experience" . . .
Most of them are privately-owned, whereas older downtown areas that can evolve organically are public spaces.

John Bercow: Speaker explodes at Boris Johnson for Commons suspension 'o...

The Speaker of the British House of Commons in Parliament EXPLODES in this take-down of Bojo - compare this with the next post from  Jonathan Pie.

House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has issued a blistering response to Boris Johnson after the UK Prime Minister announced he will suspend Parliament in just two weeks' time.
The Commons Speaker accused the Tory leader of a "constitutional outrage" after he took the audacious move while Mr Bercow was on a family holiday - and didn't tell him.
Mr Bercow added: "Shutting down Parliament would be an offence against the democratic process."
Mr Johnson has dramatically announced a Queen's Speech on October 14 after a month-long break for MPs - cutting short their chance to block no-deal Brexit .
Mr Bercow said in an angry statement: "I have had no contact from the Government, but if the reports that it is seeking to prorogue Parliament are confirmed, this move represents a constitutional outrage.
“However it is dressed up, it is blindingly obvious that the purpose of prorogation now would be to stop Parliament debating Brexit and performing its duty in shaping a course for the country.
"At this time, one of the most challenging periods in our nation’s history, it is vital that our elected Parliament has its say.
"After all, we live in a parliamentary democracy. Shutting down Parliament would be an offence against the democratic process and the rights of Parliamentarians as the people’s elected representatives. Surely at this early stage in his premiership, the Prime Minister should be seeking to establish rather than undermine his democratic credentials and indeed his commitment to Parliamentary democracy.
“My family and I are away on holiday and I will make no further comment at this stage.”
