How to use mecca in a sentence?

1. Joe Gamaldi:

   When you do a postmortem on what happened in Austin, I think it's important to recognize that the mayor and city council there have basically been giving the finger to the hardworking men and women of law enforcement in the Austin Police Department for quite some time, and what they did is they scared the public. They told them we're going to cut services across the board to try to fund public safety, but what the public should really be scared of is the fact that the murder rate is up 88% in Austin. Austin was once a mecca for the arts and music, and now it's a dangerous community and nobody even wants to walk through with their families.

2. Iran Barkley:

   Floyd is the mecca of boxing right now, i see it as a big fight like Sugar Ray Leonard and (Roberto) Duran in the years of 'No Mas'. Both of these guys are going to put on a tremendous fight. But my man Floyd is going to be victorious.

3. Maryam Gul:

   Saudi Arabia Muslims are with me all the time. I talk to them. I tell them' oh mother, I'm here in Mecca -- I have been invited,' i think to Maryam Gul that maybe they are also here, doing their prayers. Maybe their souls are here.

4. Becky Lansing:

   The sentiment behind the move is a pretty strong bond for us. Most people look at it as a mecca for baseball and for many other things as well, we have the added honor of having had it as a family legacy, which I ’m hoping now is secure in the history books of the social fabric of our country.

5. Paul Hames:

   All roads lead to Mecca Bingo.
