Palm Walk is a pedestrian mall on Arizona State University's Tempe campus lined on either side with palm trees. Palm Walk starts at the foot of University Bridge and extends south to the entrance to the Student Recreation Complex, a distance of about 0.4 miles. The mall is roughly aligned with Normal Avenue, a Tempe city street located directly south of the campus. (A noncontiguous portion of Normal Avenue also exists in the same alignment in northern Tempe.) ==History== Trees were planted toward the north end of Palm Walk in 1916,〔http://www.asu.edu/tour/tempe/palmwalk.html〕 and trees were added to the south end in the 1930s.〔http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/32land.htm〕 There are 111 trees lining palm walk. In the 1930s, Palm Walk marked the eastern boundary of the Tempe campus,〔http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/asustory/pages/32land.htm〕 but ASU has since grown to the point that Palm Walk now serves as a central artery through the campus. University Archives maintains a Web site that displays photos of Palm Walk from (the 1930s ), (1946 ), (1957 ), (1966 ), and (the 1990s ). A crowded Palm Walk is a standard photograph often used by the university to illustrate press releases about its growing enrollment.〔http://asunews.asu.edu/20070925_enroll〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palm Walk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
