Tucson's Miracle Mile is coming back ~

Once serving as the major gateway into Tucson for motoring vacationers, the Miracle Mile area had fallen into disrepair. This fantastic 30' saguaro sign (lit up at night it has a real WOW factor) is part of the determined effort to reclaim this historic area. Dirk Arnold is the artist of this heroic cactus.

Here's the front (or is it the back?) of the sign. Tomorrow you'll see the alternate view. Here's a great article that gives more history:
