Out in Miramar, the high in our house this weekend w/ all windows open was 80 degrees, and at night it got down to 70 (or less- didn't get up until after the sun was up). It was an absolutely perfect weekend for a concert, stroll on the Malecon, shrimp cocktails in Old Port, etc. The water on...

I'll have to try La Cita again- it was the first place I had a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail in the late 70's (served in the sundae glass), and I was hooked. I can't stand American shrimp cocktails, but Mexican- yum. I was sad to see them move from Old Port.

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend- not too hot, not too cold- and no smoke from the wildfires. Perfect!

Take Ajo Road west all the way to Why, turn left (South- make sure you come to a COMPLETE stop- usually a cop at that corner) and continue as usual to the border. If you don't know how to get to Ajo Road and you're on the north side of town, take I-10 east (which is really south), go right on...

You were the first to make the nasty comment about "Foothills types" before I mentioned City Council. Moving on- getting ready to go to Penasco for the weekend.

Jerry, let's not get into a p.ssing contest. I just thought before you paint everyone with broad brush strokes, you should think before you type. I'm glad Walkup gave a thumbs up for Penasco. The other discussion, like I said before, is for another thread.

I don't get your comment Jerry about "Foothills" types enter the "great city". If you're talking the great city of Penasco, we go twice a month. If you're talking about Tucson, there isn't a lot of reason to go downtown- unless I need government business. The city council has run every other...

I still haven't found any better Carne Asado tacos than in Sonoyta at El Serape (on the west side of the T intersection)- and that includes visiting taco stands in Tucson (El Guerro Canelo, BK, etc.), Phoenix, and Penasco. They're only open after 4:00 pm, but if you go around 7 or 8, the number...

Vina del mar in old port

We have a parking lot to show for the last 10 years of funding - Go Rio Nuevo!

Lagrima, in Economics class, they discuss the "multiplier effect". That $41/person gets spread around several times, resulting in a much larger gain for the city.

Glad you liked the smoked marlin at Blue Marlin, Mr. Phx. Homero is interesting, especially the oceanographer part. Some day I'm going to write a bio on him and everywhere he's been. I like the Marlin, but like the shrimp tacos and quesadillas better w/ the green sauce. By the way, he will...

I do- especially for Mexico, but I love the atmosphere if it isn't too noisy (go earlier in the evening because it can get loud).

That's funny about your review of Maria Bonita. We went there this weekend because someone asked about Vina del Mar. We loved the Old Mexico feel around the pool, and had great ceviche tostados at Maria Bonita for $1.50, and no charge for the view! I would add Blue Marlin for best shrimp...

The writer of the story is an ex-Arizona Daily Star reporter- enough said. It is exactly this type of reporting, filled with distortion and exageration, that caused my husband and I to cancel our subscription. I wish there still were another paper in Tucson. We only get the Wall Street...

We're not condo owners, and we were mentioned in the article.

We used to buy chicken at Lucas, but have found Sinaloa chicken to be as good, and at half the price. We have never gotton sick at Sinaloa, and we purchase it usually every time we come down- about twice a month.

I thought it was supposed to be a road from the Malecon to the Mirador.

The tide wasn't as high as last August, or as low as this February, but it did go quite a ways out: Maximum was 17.81 feet at 2011-03-20 14:32 MST Minimum was -4.81 feet at 2011-03-20 08:14 MST Here's the high and low tide for the last year: Searched interval from 2010-03-21 00:01 MST to...
