I’m using a burner account, because duh. I was trying to walk somewhere last night downtown to go meet up with a friend when I passed by the Plaza Centro station. A man left the street car and started yelling to complain that the street car service was being stopped for the evening. I was walking away and he followed me. When I got to the underpass going north on 4th Avenue he started sprinting at me and he was yelling “Bitch, I’m going to fucking kill you.” As I started running away two young men helped me by stopping the man and escorting me where I needed to go. I just wanted to put this message out into Reddit so that people who travel alone are aware that the crazies are out here.

I’m not trying to stir fear. This has been the only time in 2+ years living downtown that I’ve felt unsafe walking by myself as a single woman. Keep your head on a swivel, folks.

Edit: I’m going to log off after this. I DO NOT want to own a gun. As soon as I do, those within my immediate circle have a statistically more likely chance of dying due to gun violence. I do not want to own a gun because I do not want the weight of another gun death weighing on my conscience. Lastly, not that it’s anyone’s fucking business, I have had periods of time in my life when I’ve struggled with self-harm. Do not ask me to put a gun in my home.

Hey, I have short straight asian hair, wanna try perming my hair, anyone have any recommendations on where to get a perm?

Here's the news article, from a Credible News Source, about the two deaf/mute tourists who were detained by Border Patrol in Tucson and deported to Hermosillo. The author is preparing a translation. If you don't want to wait, and don't read Spanish, I think you can figure out how to translate. I use Google Translate.

There is a post similar to this but I was wondering if there’s anything new since that one was a year old. I wanna do a cover-up from somewhere around my wrist to shoulder and it’ll probably be half blackout cause my current tattoo is a bit random.

So does anyone know someone who would do a darker kind of tattoo that’s not outrageously expensive… like around 150 or less for an hour?

Im new to Tucson and still trying to find a good place to get a haircut that isn’t Supercuts or something of that caliber.

If anyone has any recommendations let me know!

Between the constant ads on broadcast & streaming media threatening us to vote yes and the NO LESS than FOUR giant flyers in my postal mail DAILY, they must be spending a massive amount of $ on this. I can only assume they know Tucson citizens are pissed with them & they are terrified of any accountability.

There is no sub for Pima County so Tucson is closest. Since Medicare advantage plans are county based, for those on medicare, did you use a trusted broker or the Arizona SHIP or just the Medicare site find a plan webpage?

If a broker who was that?

Just watched this video on the history of Tucson's growth, mainly from a water perspective.

I could have sworn I saw it here but just searched and didn't see anybody post it. If someone did, I'm sorry. An hour after I started watching I couldn't remember if I saw it on Reddit or my YouTube feed.

I only knew tiny snippets of history of Tucson that are described at length here. Hope you enjoy it.

I have a dog with high blood pressure. The current vet I see wants to see him every two months to check blood pressure. First question is if its common to have to get checked this frequently? And second are there vets that will prescribe BP medication without having to check so frequently?

Any L&D nurses at Northwest? I have some questions please DM me thx!

Almost didn't notice it was an animal, I thought there was a stain on the wall I needed to clean up. Tucson nature always amazes me!

Coming South on First to River. See it everywhere, but this Toyota has to have created the largest space at a light I've seen so far.

My partner and I are in Tucson for a few weeks, and would love some vegan recs from the people! We’ve already been to Tumerico a few times (and LOVE it), tried el charro, midtown deli, golden house. What’s your favorite?? Thank you!!

(My partner is not vegan, so fully vegan menu doesn’t need to apply)

Edit to add** would also smack down on some food trucks with vegan options!

I woke up today and saw how nice and foggy it looked from my backyard. Decided on a spontaneous drive up!

Will you please just hurry up and get the construction finished?! The roads have been paved for a month or so and it has been looking great. But I drive you every day to see what kind of progress is being made and it seems like all the construction crews have packed up and left without finishing the punch list. The traffic lights and some landscaping are all that seem to be left. But nobody’s been working on those ☹️

Driving inches from the curb and around traffic cones has taken its toll on me and all the other drivers that have to use you, and it’s time to just get finished, please. I know that big projects take time but please do all the cross-town travelers and local businesses a huge favor and just get done.

Sincerely,
A Tucson Driver That Just Wants To Drive Uninterrupted On Grant

Has anyone not received theirs yet? Saw they were mailed on October 7 but thought I would have gotten mine by now.
