Exhibit looks at Phoenix's light-rail history

[Source: Arizona Republic] -- The City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office will host a poster exhibit starting May 22 titled "History on the Metro," in honor of National Historic Preservation Month. The exhibit provides a sneak peak of seven light-rail posters showcasing historic neighborhoods and sites around Phoenix Metro stations. They include a station along the first streetcar line, settlements of culturally diverse residents, and locations near schools, churches, and parks.

The posters will be installed as permanent panels at the featured locations when Metro Rail opens in late 2008. The exhibit will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Phoenix City Hall atrium, 200 W. Washington St. For more information, call 602-261-8699 or click here.
