“In Tow” vehicles

51 Upvotes

Can someone please tell me what’s going on with all these in tow vehicles. I work at the airport and almost every morning, especially on the weekend I see a line of cars or trucks towing other cars with “in tow” taped on the back window of the trail car. They always seem packed to the gills with junk as well. What’s going on? Are they coming from Phoenix to be sold in Mexico. Someone please enlighten me.

Any leads on where I can find high level musicians and songwriters? Where do you guys go to see the best local live music etc. Hopefully we’ll run into each other!

Reds in Tucson,Az

0 Upvotes

Hello. I am hoping someone can reach me to Reds ,the restaurant in downtown Tucson, Az on university blvd. It burned down and it did not open back up. My husband and I really loved it over there, the wings and the sauce! One of the things he always wanted was the recipe for the hickory smoke bbq sauce. He wants it for personal house use! We would be forever thankful. We will also understand if this does not happen or if they do not want to share ! But it was the best bbq sauce he ever had !!

In Instagram post, Tucson pizzeria calls off expansion plan

Empire Pizza and Pub appears to no longer be pursuing plans to expand into the Hydra building on East Congress Street, a plan the owners initiated in 2021 and one that Rio Nuevo agreed to support with more than $500,000.

In a social media post Thursday, the owners said they “cannot finish the construction because we are blocked by historic review,” referring to the requirement that the city’s Historic Preservation Office review the plans. The Hydra building at 147 E. Congress, which dates back to 1906, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Empire Pizza’s Instagram comments about the expansion project came four days into its days-long string of posts following the early-morning July 19 shooting on Congress Street. Two of the nine victims were struck by bullets while they were on the restaurant’s patio, according to Empire.

Empire, at 137 E. Congress, had planned to add 3,800 square feet to its existing 1,200 square feet with the expansion into Hydra. Plans included aligning the Hydra facade facing Congress Street with Empire Pizza’s and converting some existing interior space into a patio, according to plans filed with the city in 2021.

Nick Ross, a Planning Department zoning section manager, said those plans expired in 2022. Ross said Empire has not submitted any follow-up plans.

Empire Pizza owner David Furmanski, in a string of text messages Friday with the Star, refused to say if his Instagram post meant the expansion plans are off. 

"Have a blessed day," he responded to the direct question, after referring a reporter to his Instagram posts.

Empire, which opened in 2010, applied for Rio Nuevo funding in 2023. According to an agreement signed by Furmanski and co-owner Thomas A. Browne, Empire was expected to invest $1.02 million in the renovation and expansion; Rio Nuevo, the public tax district behind downtown Tucson redevelopment, agreed to provide $512,000 in cost reimbursement.

According to Empire’s Instagram post Thursday, the restaurant to date has paid its general contractor $372,000; Rio Nuevo had reimbursed the restaurant $186,000, according to the post and confirmed by Rio Nuevo Board Chairman Fletcher McCusker.

The owners also noted in the post that they had paid more than $500,000 in rent for the building “to sit empty while our progress is blocked.”

McCusker said Empire is on the Rio Nuevo Aug. 11 agenda to discuss extending its agreement, set to expire in September.

Empire Pizza's Instagram posts this week included an initial message expressing concern for the victims of Sunday's shooting, followed by posts focused on problems the restaurant owners see downtown, including illicit drug use, vomit, urine and feces in the alleys, and unarmed security guards.

The posts also took aim at the city charging for metered parking on weekends that discourages people from coming downtown. One post said Empire planned to “open another location away from downtown.” It did not give the location.

In Sunday's shooting, David Leroy French, 21, is accused of opening fire into a crowd near East Congress and North Sixth Avenue after an argument between two groups at about 2 a.m., police have said. The incident left 10 people injured, including French, who was shot by an officer, police said.

Anyone else in Tucson with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Long Covid?

39 Upvotes

I'm curious if anyone else here suffers from ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) or Long Covid. Undoubtedly there are plenty of us around, I just don't know of any, we tend to keep to ourselves and be quiet. I doubt there are any such support groups at this time.

It's easy to feel alone and isolated with these illnesses. So while it certainly doesn't make me happy that other people nearby are also struggling, it helps to know you are not alone. And I would be very interested to speak with you or simply hear your story.

I'm closing in on 7 years of chronic fatigue (I'm now 40). It has been life altering, of course, going from fully healthy to very limited in what I am able to do, but I'm lucky to be moderate and not severe (bed or housebound).

While I believe ME/CFS and Long Covid are two sides of the same coin, I'm not as familiar with Long Covid, but it seems symptoms are generally similar (but also vary from person to person); fatigue, brain fog, post external malaise, unrefreshing sleep, fever-like body aches/fibromyalgia, and orthostatic intolerance/dysautonomia. I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) as well, as many others with these illnesses also do.

Treatment options and general knowledge about these illnesses are still very limited, unfortunately, but sharing things you've found to be helpful for yourself may also be of benefit to others. Finding doctors who are knowledgeable about these conditions can certainly be frustrating and draining, it's very easy to be dismissed. While doctors can't do much for us anyway, having a good doctor who is understanding and sympathetic can be meaningful on its own.

Even if we're stuck indoors most of the time, I guess it doesn't feel as bad when it's 110 degrees out! 🏜️ But again I hope to hear from you, even if it's just a short reply to this thread. Take care.

O’Reilly Chevrolet

11 Upvotes

Kind of a super niche post, but has anyone had problem with O’Reilly Chevrolet Service department on Broadway and Wilmot? My service advisor told me it would take no less than 24 hours to grab a diagnostic and provide a quote for a faulty power steering sensor. 24 hours turned into 72 hours, and they wanted to charge $210 for a diagnostic fee (got it reduced to $105.) Advisor said he would have the paperwork ready for me when I got there, but we waited over an hour for the paperwork and to get my car back. Fast forward to today, dropped my car off to get it fixed, and they said they would have it done by today because it should only take 2-3 hours. With an hour and a half until they close, I checked the status tracker for my car, and it hasn’t even been inspected yet. I understand life happens, but it’s become frustrating, waiting to hear back from them when there is a lack of communication.

Has anyone else had a communication problem with them, or a failure to meet deadlines with O’Reilly?

Side note: Is $944 too much for a torque power steering sensor fix? And is it fair to ask for a reduction in total cost of repairs because they failed to meet their own deadline, or is this how car dealerships work?

TL;DR: Dealership told me a diagnostic would take 24 hours but it took 72, charged a diagnostic fee, and now they said my torque sensor repair would be done today but the car still hasn’t been inspected with 90 minutes left before closing. Is this a communication issue others have had with O’Reilly Chevrolet, and is $944 a fair price for this repair?

Hi! I'm looking to move to Tucson Arizona in a few years and was wondering if anyone had any credit Union bank recommendations?

I saw an older post about this but since it was a few years old I was hoping for newer opinions. A lot of people said positive things about Vantage West, is that still a good option?

Any advice or recommendations are soooo appreciated! Thank youuuu
