There are places all over Phoenix that are neighborhood gathering spots. With a few improvements and pedestrian amenities these places could become attractive urban centers that generate income (via sales tax revenues), attract people to them and enhance neighborhoods. The commercial center at 7th and Thunderbird where hikers gather for coffee, for example. Connect that area to the commercial centers to the east and north and we have a north phoenix neighborhood center. The corner of 7th Avenue and McDowell where a bunch of restaurants are open. A few pedestrian improvements could make that place attractive at night as well as just for lunch-goers from the downtown. All neighborhoods have them...suggest your neighborhood's third place!
