SUMMARY:Tempe's Enigmatic Danelle Plaza by Rob Moore
DESCRIPTION:Danelle Plaza’s unique disposition represents a local cultural nexus to some and an obstruction to progress to others. By exploring this mid-century retail center’s creation and evolution\, we better understand how one of Tempe’s most ‘enigmatic’ places came to be so controversial while also playing a critical role in nurturing the community’s local art\, live music and small business scene. Rob Moore is a resident and small business owner in Tempe. Moore coordinates ‘The Danelle Project’ as a community effort to both support and build awareness about the plaza’s historic and ongoing cultural\, social economic contributions while advocating for a redevelopment solution that embraces its local identity and community assets.
