“Forgotten Tempe: Phantom Places From the Past That Shape the Present” by Jared Smith
Wednesday, March 13, at 11:30 a.m.
Tempe’s historic past is often defined by a handful of iconic buildings that remain in the present. But these very finite and fragile resources are the imperfect representatives of a past once populated with places like the White House, the Tempe Stockyards, Dewey Street and entire districts like San Pablo and Kyrene to name but a few. Although such places are gone, their power to define Tempe has not diminished even as suburbs, strip malls and high-rises alter the physical fabric that we experience every day. Remnants of these old places remain, stubborn reminders that the past is always present. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Can't attend? Catch the event live-streamed at www.facebook.com/TempeHistory.
