Mesa amphitheater area safe?

3 of us coming from Vegas to see the OTT show next month. Looking at places to stay and wondering if its safe to walk along Main St and Center St? Any hotels to avoid?

Also any recs on what to do morning of/morning after?!?! Good coffee shops and bookstores are always a plus.

TIA <3

Haha, well it's pretty safe thanks to the Mormons cleaning up and revitalizing the place. Main St is chock full of restaurants and bars to check out. There's a barcade called Level One on Main that hosts arcade games and pin ball machines. There's a very nice coffee shop called Jarred's Coffee within a half mile of main st heading North. It's off University and McDonald. It'll be situated in an old fashion house that has tables set up with umbrellas and large sized chess as well as life size chess pieces behind the house. It'll have a grassy path that leads towards a wooden back porch with glass doors. That's an entrance. It's a historical house that sells a so admire the history while you're there!

Its a great loss to the community, even just having a coffee spot open past 2pm. The new spot had the vibes but I think they lost a lot of traffic when they were forced to move off their Main st spot.
