Re: Who knows anything about Tucson, AZ?
I just moved to Tucson from Santa Barbara about 2 months ago. My GF got into the UofA nursing program and we bought a 3BR house for 170K, which is unheard of in California (unless you want to live in Barstow or something).
The town's been good to me so far, no real complaints (aside from the obvious heat).
1)You can probably land a one bedroom place for 500-600, rents are pretty low here. If you stay above 22nd, you should be fine.
2)It's been mentioned, but 4th St and the general downtown area are where most of the bars are at. I like O'Malley's and Club Congress.
3)I haven't been out to either of the casinos yet, but I'd love to try em out. PM me sometime when you make it out and we can arrange a trip.
4)El Charro is decent, their carne seca was impressive. Vivaci is good if you want more upscale dining, it's still reasonably priced, though, and the food is great. I eat a lot of Losbetos, a local 24-hour mexican chain. Try the carne asada burrito. Paco's on Broadway is also good.
5)I don't play golf, but there are 2 frisbee golf courses that I know of.
6)If you're up for a game of wiffleball, I have a field in the backyard. My golden retriever (Homer) plays the outfield.
