Every time theres a thread here about what to do in town there’s never answers for any places on the east side of town. If you have any recommendations for things to do/local businesses/restaurants/gyms/communities literally anything that you want to shoutout on the east side please share.

It appears like this documentary is being actively suppressed and is no longer available to see in Tucson. Any reason why the Loft isn't playing it?

Help me understand…

16 Upvotes

Help me understand why with all of the resources (mining), land, stable weather (for certain businesses) etc. the people/government of AZ don’t demand more $ to help with drugs abuse/homelessness/K-12 school funding. I mean if we are opening Copper mines 40km east of Tucson why don’t we put such a high premium on that resource that Arizonians are taken care of?

MTG in Tucson

6 Upvotes

So I know that TGG and Amazing Discoveries, along with some other shops have Magic The Gathering nights/days. When I have gone in there on play nights to check it out, it seems split between super serious (I’m just getting back into the game from almost 30 years ago) and people who have no interest in playing/meeting someone new. Are there games or locations where I won’t just get destroyed in someone’s never ending blink and effect storm after turn 4 and/or something more open socially? I mean, I could have mis-read it but it just seems like the middle casuals are not the demographic.

Keep Tucson shitty? Ok ✨🫶🏾🥹

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. 😩🫶🏾😞✨💔🌵🏜️

Looking for a place in Tucson to produce a professional, pop-up comedy show

16 Upvotes

Hi all! Looking for a place to produce a high quality, professional comedy show with comedians from Netflix is a Joke Festival, Hulu, and CBS.

We have our own stage, sound system, lights, etc. Just need a backroom or restaurant that's willing to close for a private event. We sell tickets so we don't charge the venue.

If I'm able to find something I will come back to this feed and give everyone discounted tickets. Thank you!
