How long has it been?

With the revitalization of downtown and everywhere around the ua with the streetcar it's a totally different town than it was even 5 years ago. This month alone in downtown and nearby there are like 2-3 restaurants, a microbrewery and a bar opening. Probably a dozen similar places in the last two years. Nice restaurants and activities popping up all around town, seemingly a new brewery opens up every 6 months now. Tucson is an exploding hub for beer and foodie culture. Campus looks great, the basketball and football teams are good now and fun to watch in person...

September through April Tucson is now a fantastic place to live (if you can find a decent job).
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

i'll just go with fuck asu.

its been about that long, maybe 2009 or 2010? Street car wasn't up an running. Been occupied with other things that prevented a trip to the Old Pueblo.

Yeah it's completely different than then. Even in like 2011 downtown was still a ghost town. It's almost unrecognizable even since then.
