A Terrible Place To Live

I started this Blog to help travelers and people in tucson see what I have seen over the past 10 years, All I could find on the internet were Pictures of Mt Lemon( which is partially burnt down), The desert Museum, Sabino Canyon, Neighborhoods North of River, and Saguaro National Monument. This only represents 10% of Tucson, The majority of this town is completely run down, crime ridden, and down right disgusting.
I was born and raised here, over the past 10 years I have watched the town I once loved change astronomically, It is a terrible place to live, and an even worse town to try and raise a family.
It is a great place to live if you enjoy carrying a gun in your waist, dealing drugs, and robbing innocent people, if this is the lifestyle you choose to live than you will feel right at home here in Tucson.
The Summers are unbearable it gets to be 120 at times, with very few activities for relief, there are some resort pools to cool off at, if you can get a room, if you do they are discounted so much in the summer that the pool is filled with low life's and drunks.
There is truly no relief from the heat you are a prisoner in your own home during the day time hours, you are forced to go out at night when it is cooler, needless to say this is when the majority of thugs, gang bangers, and drug addicts roam the streets.
We do not have any sports teams to watch, everyone down here makes a huge deal about a college football team (The Wildcats) a total joke! They tailgate down by the U of A before games, it is sad to watch this town try and do it like the big boys (AZ Cardinals) up in PHX.
Tucson has a terrible problem with the homeless population, they are not like trendy homeless kids they are like, scary, drug addict mentally ill homeless people. They flock here due to the dry climate and warm winters, in the dead of summer they move into Psychiatric facilities and shelters, in the winter they roam the streets and stand on traffic islands panhandling.
If you are thinking of moving here "DO NOT DO IT" If you live here and are thinking of leaving, get out before it gets worse, or you end up dead. I will be leaving here real soon and never coming back.

Sunday, November 25, 2012

As of 2011 Tucson has no more baseball, The colorodo Rockies, Az Diamonbacks, and the White Socks, all used to do spring training at HI-Corbit field. ALL HAVE LEFT. Tucson was awarded minor-league teams in 1931, 1937, 1947, 1969 and 2011. We lost ’em in 1933, 1942, 1959 and 2008, It is a sad waste of space and money, they keep up the grounds and it is never used. The only Baseball we have in tucson are softball leagues, these consist of older guys and girls that use this as an excuse to get drunk and play sports, Take it from me I played on a team for one season ironically they called themselves "Team Boracho" what a waste of time!!!!

These guys are still on the loose, According to the cops, "armed and extremely dangerous" 
The problem with Tucson is its close proximity to Mexico, Gang Bangers and Street Thugs know this, that is why so many violent crimes are committed here, All they have to do is drive 40 minutes to the border and they can live the rest of their life in Mexico. 





This happens in Tucson all the time, these are just a few stories  that made the news lately, When they interview the women inthe first clip she says" sights like this are nothing new" she "does not feel safe"
TPD crime tracker reports are cited and in the past 30 dys there have been 4 robberies, 1 car theft, and one Homicide. This is just one neighborhood. 
The last clip is a typical weekend night occurance in any given Tucson Neighborhood. 

Tucson rankes almost dead last for best places to live in the US according to CNN and other lists.
