The Birthday Celebration will continue through August 31, 2009. I thought I’d put together this little video of some images of downtown I shot earlier this spring of downtown Tucson.
Tucson Birthday 234 Today
Today is the day, the Big 234 for Tucson. Hard to believe isn’t it? Seems like just a 100 years ago when Rio Nuevo was started. But let’s not go there today.

One of the Outstanding “Oddities” of Tucson is the Tiki Head that once was a part of Carpet Golf in East Speedway. It has a new home and soon a body. It has been moved to Forth Avenue and will be the Greeter at the main entrance of The Hut.
Why is the Hood Up
We were out showing homes a couple of days ago and two of the 10 on our list had old cars parked with their hoods up. Our buyers were curious about seeing this on two cars.
