A Peek at This Weekend's Melrose on 7th Avenue Street Fair and Car Show

Thirteen years ago, a group of community merchants and neighbors on Seventh Avenue in Central Phoenix joined forces to turn the neighborhood around. With help from the city of Phoenix's Fight Back Program and School of Architecture at Arizona State University, the group developed a master plan to revitalize the area. To celebrate their efforts, the group launched a street fair that brought community members together and showcased local business.
