Look familiar now?

For all of you who have been wondering about the most recent "Where is this?" location, here is the street sign for the KingFisher restaurant on Grant Road. Congratulations to Sarafina who was the first to guess the location! (Thanks, Ellen, for providing a clue!)

Where is this bit of Merry Olde England in Tucson? Day 2!

DAY 2 "Curiouser and curiouser" as Alice in Wonderland would say. Yesterday someone posted their comment that they knew where this sign is located but the person did not identify himself/herself nor identify the location! So it may be someone who already has won a "fabulous" TDP t-shirt and wants to give someone else a shot at this. "Unknown" has provided today's clue - it's a place with a happy hour! So - any guesses?

DAY 1 Doesn't this signage look like it belongs in an English village? Here is another "Where is this?" opportunity for the Tucson experts! As you know if you have been a site follower, the first person who identifies this location wins a "fabulous" TDP t-shirt. Good luck!

Fun Fusion Food on Foot ~

For reasons that I do not know, Pima Community College (West campus) has basically closed their cafeteria. So every day a fleet of food trucks comes to the rescue of hungry students. This one caught my eye - Mexican/Peruvian food. Don't quite know what that means but here's the link to their menu. Go, Gigi!

Heroic Hikers!

With an angel wing halo even a blind dog can enjoy a hike! Here hiking at Picacho Peak are Shunka Luta and Winnie the Pooch. Winnie wears an amazing "halo" which helps him to navigate and not bump into things. He can do anything! Wonder dog indeed!

It's official ~ spring has arrived!

There are a few standard "rules" regarding the weather in Tucson. One is when the wildflowers bloom at Picacho Peak, spring is here. We may still get a cold(ish) day or two, but they will be rare. Picacho Peak is north of Tucson and every year the wildflower display is a destination drive. Beautiful hiking in this weather, too!
