Have a safe trip. I'll be off, too. Probably much longer. Yes, let's keep our fingers crossed that not one but more than one tall building gets built in the Old Pueblo within 2 years.
Anyway, out of curiosity , I did a Google map of Tucson and came to the conclusion that Tucson might just be 40 square miles in size instead of the official 200 sq miles. Speedway Blvd is about 20 miles long. And most of the north-south roads are about 15-20 miles long. So , the Old Pueblo , is actually about 40 sq miles of habitable areas much like
Paris, France. I personally prefer Paris, France as a template for Tucson instead of Portland or Austin.
Wished list while away : I hope the city would really focused on aesthetics when they approved construction on any building in Tucson. Tucson is small in size and the Old Pueblo can't afford more 'Cadence' or 'One East Broadway'
Tucson might end up being on top of the list of ugly cities in the world. Stay classy Tucson!
Au revoir! (no, I'm not going to France
)
Damn, I need to get away! Anyway, last note, here's a thought for a convention center for Tucson ... a convention center designed by
Frank Gehry ... since the Old Pueblo is looking into spending $200+ million might as well hire a world class architect.
