Today's post is a quickie but one not to be missed. Over the last few months I've met a few transplanted New Yorkers here in Tucson.

Located … Continue reading Something is Fishy in The Nation’s Capitol!

Hello and once again, in keeping with the theme that there's more than delicious Mexican food in Tucson, I have found a rare gem, The European Market. I was told about this place by a friend that preforms improve at "The Unscrewed Theater" on East Speedway Boulevard. ( check them out online, some funny stuff). … Continue reading A Taste of Eastern Europe in the Desert
I can hardly believe that it's already the 4th of July! Then again the last two years have been kind of a blur for me. Independence Day for America has many meanings for many people.
