child influx - I love it here, dry heat and all. I have lived and visited 47 states and this town is where we want to stay put. It is like a big small town, even though we have a crazy town council, we are actually in Pima co.
I went to Tuscon High and the UofA there before moving to CA after graduating. Still got relatives there.
You’re right about describing it as a big small town - the whole area has almost a million people, but because it doesn’t have all the big suburbs like Phoenix, it feels a lot smaller. And the surrounding mountains are a lot bigger. It’s nice to be able to escape to Mt Lemmon when it’s really hot in the valley.
