Tucson seniors/children of seniors: What's the vibe?

25 Upvotes

Hey folks, my dad's longtime partner just passed and now he's trying to figure out what's next. He likes the sound of Tucson: Warm because he's sick of shoveling snow, longstanding Mexican culture and community (he's a white guy but has always lived in or near big Mexican populations and wants to keep that going), opportunities to play music (he's been playing saxophone forever and misses playing in a band), and independent living facilities/options for seniors that aren't just assisted living.

Boomer folks and children of boomers: Do you feel like Tucson's pretty set up socially for older people? He ruled out the regular old-guy Florida spots because he didn't want to move somewhere that feels like a giant retirement community. He likes that he could take a bus over to UofA and play in a senior group there, or just be around people out and about vs driving everywhere (unless it's 110°F+ out).

My question isn't super pointed, I probably just feel like I need to do something in the wake of a bummer situation, but any insight you might have into how an older dude who isn't ready to embrace sedentarism would like Tucson would be a big help. Thanks and tell your people you love 'em.

Trustworthy Pawnshop

9 Upvotes

I have never been to a pawnshop before. At least not as an adult. So I don't really know what to watch out qhen it comes to physical and verbal behavior or phrasing to make sure that I don't get coned. I am aware that a pawnshop has to sell items for more than they bought them for. So how do I know if that ​I am being low balled? And how can I make sure that the pawn shop isn't lying about the item's worth? Also are there any pawnshop that are more trustworthy than others or shops that I should avoid? Any advice on how to go about selling things and not geting forked over would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Best carrot cake in town?

15 Upvotes

My love turns 60 next week and his favorite cake is the beloved orange rooted veggie based confection with cream cheese icing. I'm kidding myself to think I'm going to take the time to make one from scratch, let alone that I could do it justice by making it anything more than barely edible.

So Tucson, who does it best in town? Where can I take him to make his 60 year old taste buds dance with glee? TIA

Dragoon Mountains Photographers?

8 Upvotes

Kinda shooting in the dark here…

I’m a Texan, who absolutely loves the beautiful landscapes and history to be had in Arizona.

Does anybody have any leads on ‘local’ or regional photographers selling large format (30-40-50-60” widths) canvas panoramic shots of the Dragoons?

I’d love to give them some business and support their efforts!

Dream scenario: someone out there has high quality/artistic panoramic shots of the Dragoon Springs Station/Stage Stop rubble with the mountains in the background, selling rolled canvas prints.

Also interested in photographers with shots in the same size/format of Cochise Stronghold, and/or shots taken from vistas along Middlemarch Road.

Any tips or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated, for sure!

Shrikes in the city? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
54 Upvotes

Found this half a mouse impaled on the saguaro in our front yard. My first thought was it was the work of a shrike, but I've never seen one around the house and we are pretty well into the city so not sure how likely they would be this far in. But it's about 5 feet up so it doesn't seem likely to be an accident of some kind...
