Campbell & Central Metro Light Rail Station

Do you want some of the better coffee in town and some decadent traditional, sometimes with a twist, pastries or just to hang out surrounded by an energy resonation inside and out? Then this would be your stop at Lux Coffee.

But, besides the coffee this stop is the main on off point for Central High, several historic neighborhoods and some businesses like the Slippery Pig Bike Shop.  A few large lots await the next building boom.

The Art At The Station

"For Al Price, a local artist and former teacher, the goal of the artwork at the Campbell station was to provide a dynamic and engaging experience for students attending nearby high schools and to create a feeling of elegance timelessness for the neighborhood.

A hyperbolic parabola, derived from the shade canopy, is the starting point for a three-dimensional grid that undulates and flows, creating both heightened spatial depth and water-like motion.

The entry way sculpture takes advantage of the changing perspective of a viewer who is in motion: from below, the simple geometric shapes overleap and slide past each other resulting in a dynamic optimal effect.

The artwork also casts amazing shadow patterns on the different surfaces below, which change depending on the position of the sun." (Metro Art Book)
