While anyone who has been around this city for awhile might instantly have a sour taste in their mouth when the words “promotional film for Tucson” get kicked around, the Downtown Tucson Partnership has a new video directed by John Sears online that really puts the area in a great light, between the entertainment, culture, events, food and nightlife shown to the sounds of Calexico (of course). It’s a nice reminder of some of what I really do love about this city.

Then again, my car might disappear in one of the potholes on South Country Club on my way home, but for now, hooray for downtown Tucson!

  1. What is the exact name of the song they use with this video? I know the band is Calexico but the song name…?

  3. I’m from pittsburgh and I’ve yet to see a serious pothole in this town. I REALLY LIKE THIS VIDEO.

  5. @Zach: The credits list it as “Pepita” performed by Calexico. @Dan: Is Feast of Wire the original band who did this song? Is this another version?
