A Walk In Downtown Tucson (2/16/15) 

rtrain67 You're welcome! I'll be posting more soon so stay tuned. 😃

Frank Ramos Now let's see some of the neighborhoods, even some of the more run down ones

You're welcome, Reda! I'll be posting more Tucson videos very soon. I'm glad they bring back nice memories! :)

+Hassan Elagha You're welcome, Hassan. I appreciate your nice comment. :)

Thank you, Patrick. I appreciate your nice comment. I've lived in Tucson on and off for forty-five years and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of this city but when all is said and done, it is my home and I love it. I hope you will visit someday and I hope you'll become a resident. Thanks again!

I mean Tucson isn't a massive city like LA or New York but it's no small town.

You're welcome, Tammy, but that was shot five years ago. I may have to do an updated version so you can see even more drastic changes that have occurred.

@@FrankRamos1961 I would love that Frank, please do. I'm actually really homesick 😔 I've been gone a long time and don't visit often enough. It's been years since the last time I was home, and when I do go it seems like it's for a funeral or something. I just don't seem to have the time to do what I want or see who I want. It always goes so fast. my kids are all grown and it's just me now I'm really contemplating moving back home in the next few years.

@@Burtraw13 I'll do what I can, Tammy. I'm glad the video keeps you connected to Tucson. When I have some spare time I'll shoot another video for you.

All temperature readings are taken in the shade.

Mockingbird Thank you! I'm glad you like the video but big changes are coming our way; not all of them positive. Gentrification is the word, in other words. I'll try to shoot a new updated video soon so you can see what I mean.

@@FrankRamos1961 I was back there three times this year. I miss My Home, and laid back, Safe atmosphere. Might be back to stay.

@mockingbird Oh, then you saw what they did to The Flycatcher? 😥 I will always love Downtown Tucson and especially 4th Avenue but I hope and pray they don't turn it into Anytown, USA with a Starbucks on every street corner. Hope to see you when you return!

@@FrankRamos1961 in September, I noticed quite a few places, had closed down. i was kind of shocked. Is Barrio Brewery still going strong?

@@FrankRamos1961 i remember Julie-Anne Lewis , had quite a performance, in the previous bar, to The Flycatcher.

Greetings to you, Algeria! Hope all is well where you're at.✌🙂

@@FrankRamos1961 Hi Frank,yes all is well and fine here,hope the same to you and your family wherever you are.Take care.

Julie W If you're interested, I post a lot more Tucson oriented "mini-videos" and photos on my Instagram page: frank.ramos1 I'll shoot more videos like this for my RU-vid channel very soon.

Not much happening ?

You hit M A N Y nails on the head with this post. I find it ridiculous for the comments here which give glowing reviews of Tucson, and downtown viewed as something of beauty and worthy of praise . . . I find it all wanting, and of no desirable virtue. I've only been in Tucson for 14years (coming from NEngland), and in these short years, have watched the E N T I R E city become one where you can't discern where the rough side of town ends, and the normal residential side begins. I was also here in 1978 for a few months, and left with a positive feel for the city, although a bit overcrowded, but it absolutely felt like a welcoming south western town. Here in 2018, the city is disjointed, no real economic prowess, and every single one of the thousands of run-down and decrepit stripmalls that line every single main road in Tucson, are a blight on the city. Tucson looks... well, it looks just plain trashy. Sure, head up to the wealthy foothills and things are magnificent and beautiful - but 6/8ths of the city where most folks live, work, and play are dilapidated and crumbling. The city has to spend funds to provide services to the overwhelming amount of illegals here, and over-taxes residents to come-up with barely enough funds to repave main thoroughfares and roadways. It's a complete mess, and I don't see it reversing the trend . . . AT ALL! Too bad, so sad. Your post is reality, but most would rather believe their fantastical nostalgic view than face what's right in front of them when watching this video.

@@GlobalistJuice What is posted in the video at least doesn't look trashy at all, and not overcrowded either. If you don't like it there why not move out, instead of being stuck in a place you have been hating for 14 "short" years.

@@alphonsozorro7952 Although I, like most everyone else, cannot pack-up and runaway from home - Tucson is large enough to move far, far away from the blight creeping-in on the city. Of course, you'll pay higher rents for that nicer neighborhood and community, and more still if you live up in the Foothills area - heck, it's a wonderland paradise in the Foothills, and still falls within the Tucson border, but that specific area is night/day compared to a good chunk of the city. I invite you to come have a look, you may find my comment of "trashy", will ring true once you see it for yourself.

Nope, you definitely don't want to walk barefoot on a Tucson sidewalk. It can get over 110 in the summer. She just has on some light flip flop deals.
