Travel

During the Valley's explosive growth between 1983 and 1987, Mesa established itself as one of the fastest growing cities in America and expects to have a population of 500,000 by century's end. Agriculture has been replaced by high-tech industries. Today, Mesa's Spanish colonnade sidewalks and palm tree lined streets give it a quaint, relaxed ambiance. The Valley's second-largest city is also host to the Chicago Cubs for Spring Training each year. Other attractions include the Arizona Temple and Visitor Center, a striking structure that is Mesa's most noted landmark; and the Mesa Southwest Museum, a miniature "Smithsonian" museum that effectively captures Mesa's southwestern folklore.
