TUCSON - A Real World Paradise…
...A mere sixty miles north of Mexico on the cross-country I-10 – has grown into a modern mini-metropolis of nearly a million people without entirely sacrificing its historic quarters. Now equal parts college town and retirement community, it’s one of the more attractive big cities of the Southwest. Tucson is one of the oldest continuously settled cities in the United States – celebrating its birthday on August 20, 1775. Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block http://www.tucsonmuseumofart.org/
