Heading Downtown – Mesa, AZ – 2009 in Review
December 30, 2009 by Kristin LaVanway · 2 Comments
I am heading downtown to check out some of the downtown destinations in Metro Phoenix and review how each town fared in the 2009 real estate market.
One of the hidden treasures in Phoenix is the much misunderstood city of Mesa. Check out the amazing Mesa Center for the Arts…

I am a Realtor in Gilbert, AZ, working with clients throughout the Phoenix Metro area. I am lucky to love what I do and appreciate the difference I can make in people's lives.
In a previous life, I was a rocket scientist - really! - but decided to step away from corporate America to be a Mom to my four boys. Found it hard to do bake sales, so I ran a small independent programming business instead.
Flash forward...I am now a single mom and I face many, many challenges everyday. I am living through the hardships that many are facing in this economy. These experiences have motivated me to help other people in my shoes.
I have teamed up with Dean Ouellette to form the East Valley Team - the best darn team in the Valley. Check out our site at http://www.EastValleyTeam.com. I spend way too much time on YouTube - check ou tmy channel at http://www.youtube.com/klavanway
The First Friday of every month in Downtown Mesa we close Main Street to only motorcycles. There are live bands, vendors and motorcycle enthusiasts galore. If you are on facebook go to our page “Motorcycles on Main” and look at the fun. Besides the already great restaurants there are food vendors on the street. It is not what you would expect to see in our town!
Second fridays of every month from 6-10 pm (both events run the same time of the day) is a themed event which changes each month. April is FAME on Main- music, performing arts groups on two stages, over 60 artists showing their original works, and just a plan ole good time.
Hope to see you around.
