The 8-block evening stroll with her dog Abby passes the homes of at least 8 architects plus the studios of nationally-renowned painter Ed Mell and woodworker Kevin Irvin. Maureen claims (without any actual statistics to validate her claim) that Coronado has the highest per capita population of architects and artists in Phoenix. There is often more to Coronado than meets the eye.Īnd then there are the things that some very active neighbors manage to accomplish-like the Virginia street calming project (between 7th and 12th streets), the blooming traffic circle (12th & Oak), the metal logo “banners” that welcome you to the neighborhood on most streets, the Coronado Community Garden (1211 E Virginia)… we could go on and on!
