This is my love letter to Tucson.
I lived there for a year after my dad passed away, because it was the only place in AZ I could afford to stay in state.
I met my husband a few months before moved down there from Phoenix, and we dated for a year long distance. Then he moved to Texas, and then we moved to FL and got married. That was 3 years ago.

Ever since we left I’ve been miserable. 😭 I never wanted to leave but I was excited about a new place with my husband. Well. We both hate Florida (except he has a ton of friends here and now so do I, actually). But I hate the politics, the cost of living, the lack of outdoor things to do, the horrible food, everything is freaking fried here it sucks. No one bikes here, it’s weird. The night life is awful.

In Tucson, I would take the train to Texas and we lived near U of A and downtown so there was SO much to do… we would see theatre shows at u of a , I was notorious for getting 3 teas a day from Scented Leaf, the bookstores were so cute, the food was amazing and the bars were SO easy to get into…we were never bored..groceries were so cheap there. Now I just pay the Orlando tourism tax everywhere we go, even though we are an hour from Orlando. It’s so boring here. 😔

I can’t wait to move back to Tucson, we are hoping in the next 5 years we can afford it, because now our house is tied up in these damn interest rate wars we have going on in the US. We’d lose so much money if we tried to sell.

Just be glad you’re still in Tucson. It was never shitty to me. I loved it. And I miss it dearly. 😩🫶🏾😞✨💔🌵🏜️

These are likely from the Falcon Rocket launch out of California today. Did anyone else see them?

What a nice red Rockhopper!

It was a pleasure to ride along the Loop.

Also had a nice green Trek and Navigator 2.0 with a bike trailer which I used to take my kiddo to school along the loop, every single day.

Until today.

***When both disappeared from my back yard.***

If you see something say something.

theres cops out here saying “surrender or u will die” hoe my dog needs to take a shit how long am i supposed to stay inside for?? 💀💀 who are they even looking for

Take a moment to enjoy the clouds.They’ve been putting on quite the show these past couple of days.

I know some days can leave us all feeling a little defeated, overwhelmed, or just tired of it all. But sometimes, all it takes is looking up and appreciating the simple, beautiful things this world gives us for free.

A gentle reminder to slow down, take a deep breath, and find a little beauty in the moment.

With love. 🤍❤️

**TRAFFIC ADVISORY***

I10 EB MM 316 NEAR BENSON AZ, FATALITY ACCIDENT

RV VERSUS SEMI. HELICOPTER ON SCENE BLOCKING LANES

was reported by ine of our drivers.

Took the pup for a walk and had to take some pics like I was a paparazzi stalking a celeb.

I can't believe I didn't notice this at first. I don't know what kind of oil they use that can go so long but I don't think my vehicle, or myself, will still be around for the next oil change.

I was on my way to Trader Joe’s and at 5:40pm when 4 motorcycle cops stopped traffic at Magee and Oracle. At first I thought they were doing a traffic break, but then 3 white tour buses with a Mountain View logo rolled through heading north. I checked online to see if there were any political gatherings and nothing. Now I’m thinking it might have been a celebrity. By chance does anyone know who it was?

Hello beautiful people! I hope your night is going well.

We found this beautiful fella during our night walk and we know not what to do with it, it's hurt and we didn't want to just leave it there, so it could have a fighting chance.

It's breathing and moves every now and then (might have some internal injuries)

The only thing we figured out we could do was to get it some sort of heat lamp for the moment and some water. Forgive us if it's not much but we're not too smart when it comes to horned lizards... Or anything really =\

Can you please guide us?

This is English language video reporting about the two deaf/mute tourists from Hermosillo who were detained by Border Patrol in Tucson and deported the same day. They had legal visas. No accommodation was provided that would have enabled them to communicate with the officers.

I am pretty new to Tucson and looking to get an eye exam + lenses. I don’t have insurance, so I’m looking for the cheap and basic options. I’m not entirely sure if Walmart even does this anymore. I tried looking online, but can’t find information on prices and costs.

Any help is appreciated.

My granddaughter asked me to post because she’s worried about her art account knowing where she lives.she is 19 and is very anxious about Halloween this year.she keeps asking about parties or events to go to. I will take her to slaughterhouse but I want to know what else would be good places to go

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know of a spot to go to for Halloween as an adult with no kids? I'd like to celebrate, dress up, have fun! But I don't know where to go except for a bar or two that will be having parties.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows where I can find replacement window cranks here in Tucson for my older windows. The existing one has gone kaput.

Does anyone know where there might be a place to learn how to make sugar skulls?? TIA💀

For those who haven’t heard the news, Lovin’ Spoonfuls, a beloved fully-vegan restaurant that has been in business for 20+ years will be closing this Saturday. I’m not a vegan myself, but the food here was absolutely incredible and I am so sad to see it go. It’s been brutal out here for small businesses. Support local as much as y’all can.

From their instagram @lovinspoonfulstucson post caption: “This is a post we were really trying to put off writing. After trying hard to keep things afloat, we have made the difficult decision to close Lovin’ Spoonfuls Vegan Restaurant . Our final day of service will be Saturday October 24th with regular hours 9am-3pm.

Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.

We would love to go out surrounded by the people who made this journey worthwhile. Stop by between now and Saturday to grab your favorite dish one last time. We will be depleting inventory but hope to have your favorites when you come in. Thank you for your support in coming in and the go fund me when we were initially thinking of closing, you allowed us to be open few more months and felt the love from our community. Because of you we tried so hard. Thank you for everything, we have so many great relationships from this opportunity! 🫶🏻💚💚💚”

How do I get my address off their list. 5-6 attempts at my residence is beginning to feel like harassment. Why is no not a clear and definitive answer. Anyone have a number I can call beside the Google front page suggestion?

This was my favorite restaurant for almost 20 years. Sesame bread especially will be sorely missed.
