Spread out over 122 square miles of Arizona desert, Mesa is no cultural wasteland. Arizona's third-largest city is home to 5 museums, 3 libraries and 20 golf courses. The Mesa Southwest Museum exhibits artifacts from ancient Indian civilizations, and the Champlin Fighter Museum displays restored World War I and II fighter planes. Mesa is also the winter home of the Chicago Cubs. Only 12 miles southeast of Phoenix and 6 miles east of Tempe, the city sits atop a plateau (hence its name, Spanish word for "table") overlooking the Valley of the Sun. Five recreational lakes within an hour's drive entice city slickers with the prospect of swimming, fishing and water skiing. For a drier kind of recreational fun, the nearby Superstition Mountains offer back country hiking and the mystery of the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine with its tantalizing lure of a lost fortune in buried treasure. Add all these attractions to Mesa's active nightlife and broad economic base, and it's easy to understand why this city was named one of the top 100 cities in America.
