So what's the deal with Tucson? Been reading bits here and there about it being a yuppy liberal town. Or is it the Snowbirds going haywire...
Are hordes of illegals running amok yet?

I was raised in Tucson. Went to Flowing Wells Jr. and HS and lived off of Oracle Road across from a Target and what used to be a GEMCO.
After school hours I'd get with my friend and go plinking with the .22 on the outskirts of town but well within city limits. Never any trouble.  I guess no more of that.
Good memories growing up in ol Tucson.

Tucsons problems are a mix of the liberals, snowbirds and illegals. All in all it's not too bad, there are enough responsible gun owners here to keep the place reasonably safe.

Been here from Hotlanta, Jawja just over a year. Not too bad. I don't know what the big deal is about the monsoons, though. If it can't form a tornado, then it ain't a REAL storm!

The big deal is, monsoon season is the one part of the year where it actually rains in this God forsaken hell hole.
