Good morning, downtown Phoenix! How was your Valentine’s Day? For me, I stayed home and went to a Downtown Devil meeting – which is actually one of the highlights of my week. We listened to the songs “Drivers License,” “Love Story,” and “Electric Heart,” to name a few. So I hope you all did at least something to spend the day!
Anyways, here are the events for this week.
