- Indeed.
- I liked the old City Hall. They should have preserved it. The council could have met there and it would have been a wonderful museum for the city to use for historic documents and artifacts.
- I mean Tucson is 250 years old this year and this is a great opportunity to bring people together so they can all feel like they are Tucsonans. So where is the celebration? Where are the leading citizens promoting the advantages of our city? This birthday should have been a year long operation.
