Many of the more astute Mill Avenue dwellers have noticed a tree planting frenzy occurring on our beloved “Main Street” in Downtown Tempe. Over the years, some of the great Ficus trees that shade Mill Avenue have succumb to our Summer Monsoons, vandalism, insects, or the crazy micro-burst thunderstorm last year that clocked winds up to 100 miles an hour! The new trees are replacing the large holes and stumps where the previous Ficus once stood. While that may be obvious, what is not so obvious is that the new trees planted will drastically change the look of Mill Avenue come Fall. The new trees are the “Chinese Pistache” tree and according to web sources “The leaves of the Chinese Pistache are lustrous and dark green in the summer and a beautiful orange to red in the fall.” While some of our Ficus trees are still standing grand and tall, the plan is to replace the Ficus with the Chinese Pistache as the Ficus age. There is no doubt that this new burst of color along Mill Avenue will insure that the already popular street will become even more popular during the fall and winter months. Way to go City of Tempe!

In an effort to help create a more vibrant Mill Avenue District, the Tempe community group has created a new street experience called “Music on Mill”. Beginning April 9th, 2009, the weekly event will be held every Thursday evening from 5pm to 9pm along Mill Avenue. According to published reports, the plan is to create:
“a showcase of local musicians and performers. Music on Mill is a nod to Tempe's vibrant music history, and particularly Mill Avenue, where all of the bars were located that sprouted such bands as the Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments, Dead Hot Workshop and the Meat Puppets. Musicians and performers, covering a gamut of musical genres, will activate public space and give visitors a positive, unique experience in the Mill Avenue District. Musicians scheduled to perform for “Music on Mill” can easily be identified by branded donation buckets that will be placed at each of their locations. The public is encouraged to donate towards performances so musicians return week after week. Merchants are also being prompted to host live musical acts within their venues to add to the “Music on Mill” experience.”
While we are excited about the prospect of adding this new energy and creative experience to Mill Avenue, we hope that this look backwards to what Mill Avenue “used to be” isn’t a substitute for what Mill Avenue could become. Mill Avenue has too much potential! That potential will not be fully realized by trying to recreate what Mill Avenue used to be. A totally different, unique experience, one that may include a music scene, will be what makes the “New Mill Avenue” special. Hopefully, Music on Mill gets that new experience rolling.
