As I mentioned last week in this here space, we just launched a
brand-new Web site, and we’re pretty darned happy about it.
However, in order to make the site truly amazing, we could use your
help, in the following areas:
• Restaurant reviews. The new TucsonWeekly.com allows people to rate
and comment on the area’s restaurants (kind of like that inferior Yelp
site does), and since we’re starting from scratch in terms of reader
reviews, we’d love it if you stopped by the site and offered your
well-informed opinions.
If restaurants aren’t your bag, never fear: You can comment on any
location that’s in our database—theaters, bars, attractions,
anywhere a listed event has taken place. If we’re missing a
location that you’re dying to pontificate on, drop us a line.
• Bear with us as we iron out the glitches. Not only is the Web
site our online representation of the Tucson Weekly and all of
its offerings; it’s also our editorial/listings data-management system.
The biggest problems we’ve had (knock on wood) have involved data that
didn’t import properly from the old site. That means some outdated
listings and data have snuck by, both online and in our print
exports—and we’ve also had some relevant data mysteriously
disappear. Thanks to the hard work of the wonderful folks at DesertNet,
these glitches have been fixed almost as soon as we’ve found
them—but that does not mean we’ve found all of them yet. And that
leads me to say …
• If you see a glitch, notice something is missing, or discover
something that shouldn’t be there, let us know. Thanks to the readers
who have already done so!

I’d love to comment on a resturant that has been overlooked by any and all newspaper reviews & food critics. Venice pizzaria at Wrightstown and Pantano has a core of die-hard regulars that has kept the business afloat for 30+ years. With homemade pizza dough, sauces, sausage, meatballs, a wide variaty of dishes for everyone’s pallate- I’m suprised you havn’t come across the worlds best comfort food. What would it take for you guys to come out and review the food, service, atmosphere, quality? I can’t figure out how to add it to your database. It’s a shame this resturant has been overlooked for so long…
