Arty Girl: Market on Mill Debuts Tomorrow Night

By Lilia MenconiSeptember 2, 2009

Best Rock Club

September 24, 2009
Hollywood AlleyWhen Hollywood Alley debuted in 1988, bands didn’t exactly beat a path to its door. Back in those days, the epicenter of the local music scene was undoubtedly Mill Avenue and such venues as Long Wong’s and Chuy’s, and not some pissant bar and grill off the beaten path in Mesa.
