Mesa, population 440,000 (2004 est.), is Arizona's third-largest city, and is part of the Phoenix urban complex.

Unfortunately, Mesa, despite its size, is a near-nonentity. A benighted city council focuses on redevelopment of a dreary downtown that died 35 years ago; library service is woefully inadequate (3 branches for a city of nearly half a million); virtually nothing of interest to the tourist exists since Jack Adams' Alligator Farm closed. The Mormon Temple grounds are nice.

A decaying urban core features a decaying 1970's megamall whose time has come and gone, and the city's east side features what must be America's greatest assemblage of mobile homes.

The affluent portions of the city -- which are considerable -- constitute many square miles of cookie-cutter upscale homes. (You'd think they'd have run out of red roof tile and stucco by now.)

Like Gertrude Stein's Oakland, in Mesa there is no there there.
