Tempe History Society Lunch Talks

Tempe’s Enigmatic Danelle Plaza by Rob Moore

Wednesday, January 14, at 11:30 a.m.

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. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
