Tucson, Arizona is one of the new American cities. With jobs, the sunshine, great schools, and open space, Tucson, like the rest of the "Sunbelt," is destination living for families, retirees, and young adults alike. The Tucson area is sometimes referred to as "Optics Valley" due to the over 150 companies located there and involved in producing optics technology and optoelectronics systems.Tucson's urban core has been spruced up significantly with the help of a new streetcar line. Phoenix's downtown continues slowly to come back to life, as well, and its inner-ring suburbs-Tempe, Mesa -are doing well. The University of Arizona also has a thriving science and technology research park with many up-and-coming companies like Global Solar Energy. People may move here for the jobs, but there are plenty of reasons to love living in Tucson.
Downtown Tucson has wonderful historic neighborhoods and community buildings. You can check out the glamorous Art Deco Fox Theater, the classic western Old Pima County Courthouse, or the grand Hotel Congress. Soon, you'll be able to ride around downtown on a modern, electric street car system to see all these sites and more! While downtown, check out all the great shopping along 4th Avenue, where there is an exciting semi-annual 4th Avenue Street Fair. Other big events include the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show--one of the biggest gem and mineral shows in the world,--the Tucson Folk Festival, the Fiesta de Los Vaqueros--a riveting rodeo,--and more frequent performances by the Tucson Opera and Symphony Orchestra.
Tucson gets outside too. Though you may be frightened of the desert weather, Tucson is actually cooler and wetter than nearby Phoenix because of its higher elevation. Biking is very popular in the city; every year citizens participate in El Tour de Tucson, a bike tour around the city. In 2007, the American League of Bicyclists even awarded Tucson gold in bike friendliness. There are over 120 parks and green spaces to throw around a Frisbee, have a picnic, or play catch with your family pet. The Reid Park Zoo is a world class zoo, with exotic and exciting animals from around the world. There is almost TOO much to do in Tucson!
