We just got back from a vacation in Tucson. I felt pretty safe the entire time we were there. There were quite a few potheads around though. I guess the police just tolerate it.
How about that. The wife and I just returned a few weeks ago from spending four weeks in Tucson. Loved it. One fellow condo resident from Canada who had been going to Tucson in the winter for years apologized for what he said was the coldest Tucson January in fifteen years.
We told him we didn't care....the coldest it got in Tucson was still quite warmer than where we were from....Wisconsin.
Before we left Wisconsin I checked to see where the bad parts of Tucson were, and we avoided them. Our condo was in the northern foothills. We had a great time.
