Hello downtown Phoenix! This is Yoori back with your downtown events this week and I hope you all had a great weekend. If you’re a student, you’re probably swamped with assignments but push through! We’re almost done. Here are the events for this week:
Mayor State of the City Address

It’s been a chaotic year for all of us; and everyone is trying to adapt to this new normal that’s quite difficult to assimilate to. Where do we go from here? What will the new year of 2021 bring us and more importantly, what will downtown Phoenix look like? These are just a fraction of some questions you may be wondering. For an hour on Tuesday morning, Mayor Kate Gallego will be sharing her thoughts, visions, and plans for 2021.
