The Rise of Downtown Tucson




Once upon a time in the city of Tucson if you were to walk down the streets this is what it would feel like. No one was around. It was a ghost town, well worse then that at least ghost towns have tourists.


Sure Tucson had tourist, about once a year at least they would come to our great city for the Gem Show. I know, I know... El Tour de Tucson. Yes they would come for that as well.

But on a regular weekend you can go around downtown and it would be empty.

But then something changed. What changed, I really don't know. Some might say the Over priced, Under Regulated Rio Nuevo worked. I highly doubt that. 

Businesses just started opening downtown. First a few restaurants, then some more. A few breweries, then some housing came in. 

I have gone to some places downtown and will review a few of them and review a few more soon, so Downtown has risen and is a happening place now. Join the Tucson Food Guy and let's discover downtown together over the next few weeks.
