ill give you a call when i get there for sure man! i will post later if i find out where i gotta go so i wil know whereabouts i will be.. i never been there before, it might ****, might be fun

thanks! gotta love the HAMB!

 

Its a pretty slow week in a sleepy town. Weekends are usually more fun, good bands, laid back people. I'll send a you a PM with my phone number.

 

cool guys, im hoping for some good BBQ or a good steak or something..

the fiancee will kill me if i tell her i ate in n out! hahaha, she is from cali orignally..

 

One more thing... its 108 degrees out today. This is the hot time of the year. Don't let anyone kid you about "dry heat". It is frikkin HOT!

 

I think there are a lot of aircraft boneyards out there...might be a tad hot, though

 

yeah i know its gonna be hot... hahaha...

im leavin like 75-80 degree perfect days to come to hell! ****!

 

its only hot during the day.at night it gets all the way down to 90 degrees.....yeah the Pima air musseum has tour busses with a/c,it better anyway cause it goes where you cant walk .........BBQ and steaks,NO PROBLEM!!!

 

Mt Lemmon..9000 ft up..great road..and 30 degrees cooler...

Also a nice night drive..

You can see it in my avatar..

 

Meatball beat me to it, but the Pima Air Museum is awesome! If you're a Cold War nut like me, the ***an Missile Museum is also just down the road and well worth the trip... the "long tour" gets you into a decomissioned silo and all the underground control rooms.

 

****.. just learned i wlil be sharing cars with a coworker... so it looks like im not gona get a lotta fun time! either way, the info on where to eat will come in handy!

 

What food do you like. We have EXCELLENT Mex..

Minidito
La Parilla Suiza
Many on south 6th street..

 

Old Tucson is pretty cool. It's a movie lot that was built back in 1939 I think for a movie called ARIZONA. Lots of cool westerns have been filmed there and some TV westerns. Rio Bravo, Winchester '73, Cimarron, and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral are a few.

 

my favorite tucson restaurant El Charro http://www.elcharrocafe.com/index.asp

also see kitchy wild west steak joint/amusent park/mall Trail Dust Town http://www.traildusttown.com/

then there's the Kon-tiki that place is RAD!
http://www.kontiki-tucson.com/

and favorite tourist thing for me is to see El tiradito shrine.

 

I am very new to Tucson but I know of a place that hasn't been said. If you like Tiki bars this is a good one. Kon Tiki is on Broadway but I don't remember the cross street. www.kontiki-tucson.com

 

Broadway-Swan Rd..

If you want a decent steak.. El Corral
Touristy..then Trail Dust Town on Wilmot..eat..then watch the gunfights..

Better steak..Ok Corral on Tanque Verde..by Wrighstown Rd..

Sushi..Sakura on Wilmot..

Italian..Mona Lisa "Corrleone's" on wilmot...very good..
I've been here 35 years..lots of good food..

 

PS..

Want good Dago Beef..?

Got to go to Luke's..same as in Chi...awesome..gravy down your arms..fries to stop your pulse...
22nd near Alvernon..or Grant near Columbus..several other around town..

PS..even got Sheboygan brats...

 

best steaks would be 'Lil Abners or pinicle Petes..maybe El Corral.......best mexican food is the place about a block from the deaf & blind school cant think of the name......just my opinion.........best cheap steak night would be Nevada Smiths on miracle mile!!! maybe we should tell him how to get to Ten's

 

I think you're talking 'bout El Minuto..very good...

Down south 6th you have Rigo's..Mi Nidito...Micha's..

Really can't miss at most of them..

Yep..Pinacle Peak is good for steak..in Trail Dust Town..

 

**** guys, im only there 3 days! hahahhaa...

thanks for all the help, i should have the location exactly in a day or so, and i will update.. hopefully something is pretty close, i will be worn out from work and not wanting to drive a lot! (guess its not a vacation, so i cant ciomplain)

 

I'm a Chicago transplant...

Wear cool clothes.....trust me....

Look up 'Franklin Foundation' in the phone book and call for hours and directions. It is a Franklin auto museum with the sweetest restored air-cooled cars. Free and air-conditioned, to boot.
Sonora Desert Museum has a hummingbird aviary- you can sit in there and get buzzed by tiny birds that will almost land in your hands.
Kitt Peak- the greatest place on earth to look out into space. Many state colleges have observatories to study the heavens...

Then there is Hot Rods by Dean...and Jeff's Customs....

The Shelter and the Kon Tiki are places you must go. And if you go to the Kon Tiki... get the Scorpion drink. I can't remember the exact details but there is so much alcohol in the Scorpion that they suggest it for two people. That's the start of a good evening!

 

I second the Kon Tiki & the scorpion bowl, that's good times right there. Check out the Hotel Congress and Pima, Tucson is an awesome town

 

here is where i will be,....

anyone got ideas on things kinda close?

HILTON TUCSON EAST (HILTON)
7600 EAST BROADWAY
TUSCON AZ 85710 UNITED STATES

 

No problem Holmes......your in the middle of it all,Im sure one of us will be around to show ya things if ya want

 

Another vote for the Pima Air Museum! If you need a Chinese food fix, Golden Dragon, Broadway and Pantano is close and real good.

 

well if ya get out early enough you can hit hot rod row WILD WEST RODS.OLD FORD STORE,RODS & CL***ICS.......
