Too bad Tucson politicians let historic neighborhoods in the downtown be bulldozed. The downtown here holds little attraction to my family. We are used to Albuquerque's Old Town, which has a beautiful plaza and old historic church surrounded by many interesting shops, and nearby museums, and free parking to top it off. We shopped a lot there, considering we were not tourists and lived there.Albuquerque's old town isn't just a tourist draw--it's part of locals' lives. Weddings, powwows, free concerts and festivals all year round, etc, all reason to go there. Tucson just doesn't have a lively, historic center like Albuquerque's Old Town.
