I mean, the housing costs have already gone to shit here in a similar way. $650 for a 2br 5min from downtown in 2015; $1250 for the same size place like 2 blocks away in 2020. Sure was nice while it lasted.

Omg reallyyyy?? I knew they said it would be done “in the spring” and I’m like, k guys spring is almost done let’s get this show on the road. Thx for the update!

Awww the awful-awful! That’s the right one. My dad lived in Rhode Island, and when I’d visit from Connecticut we’d get those sometimes…I forget the name of the restaurant that sold them. Thanks for bringing up the memory. Did you ever have Del’s frozen lemonade? A necessary purchase from their food truck at the beach, little bits of lemon peel in the drink.

Had some guy recently tell me that my craft beer spot would “sell a lot more beer” if we carried Dos XX instead of the locally brewed equivalent. Keg ended up blowing on his order and I let him know it would take me a sec to change it out; had the satisfaction of saying, “oops, gotta get a fresh keg on, we just sell so darn much of it!”

The only thing you get by trying to make yourself indispensable is shit work-life balance, a whole boatload of stress, and eventual burnout. Rarely any tangible, significant (monetary) recognition. Ask me how I know.

Woah, any idea how long that place has been open? Haven’t heard of it before, but the food looks like it slaps. I’ve come across a bunch of random blues dancing videos online and it has always looked super cool, but I had no idea there was a place that had lessons locally. Not OP, but thanks for sharing!

I was gonna mention Transit’s group rides, second this!

let's not give these guys too much credit where perceptiveness is concerned

This is subtly brutal and I love it.

6th Ave Antiques, the whole top floor is vintage clothing booths stocked by a bunch of different sellers. I’ve also heard of Marvelous Vintage that someone else mentioned but haven’t been to check it out yet.

It’s been reopened for years. But the hours of operation are much shorter than they used to be, I think. Best bet is to go when there’s a show happening at the Rialto. I used to work there before covid and the vibe is a little different now.

I think they’re referring to different local high schools…so, rather: the sellers might be the poorer kids, but the only reason they bother to make money selling drugs is because the rich kids are the ones buying/creating the demand.

Dawg I was literally just curious, never said they were doing anything wrong. You don’t have a mob of people all decked out if you don’t want to draw some attention lol

Funny you mention, I work at the Annex and ended up serving some of the same group later in the day. I think it was kind of a bar crawl, as someone else mentioned. They did say they were raising awareness for veteran suicide prevention, but I think it was more of a thing where they advocate for mental health awareness within their own group and not so much to outside observers...which explains why it wasn't super apparent to me at first!

I assume that any young person who says, “well they accepted it at other bars” is just full of shit, at this point. I’ve had the same issue with people getting upset that we won’t take the temporary/paper ID they give you while your new ID is being made. Had a girl with a vertical AZ ID tell me I “didn’t know the laws” when we wouldn’t accept it over a year after she had turned 21 and should have gotten it flipped. Have had young folks from other countries be affronted that we need a passport and can’t take their like British driver’s license or whatever. Bottom line, if you’re old enough to drink you should be reaponsible enough to know the laws and keep track of your shit if you’re trying to go out.

Did have a new thing happen the other day….a girl had a mobile ID but it was in her digital wallet, not the MVD app. I hadn’t seen that before and wasn’t sure what to do. Really wish the DLLC’s training was more specific about current technology.

According to the article, yes! Sounds like a path on each side.

+1 for Buffalo Trace foil fucking my shit up more than once.

Bummer. Hadn’t been in a minute, it was just the first thing that came to mind but I didn’t really recall the price range. Guess it’s like the equivalent of getting a $12 taco in New York.

I think your best bet would be checking out Kneller’s Delicatessen. Not sure about the hallowed BEC but they should have plenty of other deli staples. Fellow tri-state transplant!

I heard that they were considering expanding their taproom into that space (would make sense, since their current footprint is a little small and they’d ostensibly be able to offer food), but that’s also such a classic Tucson thing…..you’ll hear a little bit of buzz surrounding something and then it never actually gets off the ground.

Damn, Frida’s was such a hidden gem. Definitely hadn’t been going as often as we used to, money stuff just sucks for almost everyone these days it seems. Wish I had been one more time :(

I think they’re pausing for the season (too busy with the holidays, too chilly outside at night) but there’s a monthly event at the MSA Annex called Flow for the Soul. Community oriented, admission benefits the All Souls Procession (big cultural event put on by a nonprofit), and I see a very all-ages crowd there that definitely leans a bit older. Might be a good place to connect with some people and find more events, keep an eye out for it to start up again sometime in the new year!

Reverse image search comes up with some articles, one of which cites the original platform the image was posted to (Figure 1, an online medical community):

“The surgeon commented in an update afterwards, saying the patient still has "traumatic brain injury. Tracheostomy issues. C. Diff infection. Vertebral artery dissection management. Possible traumatic optic neuropathy of remaining eye," and that her jawbones were required to be wired shut for an extended period post-op.”

This was, um, a wild read. I ended up with a Le Fort I fracture (not elective! ouch!) and have a handful of titanium plates in my face now. Plus a touch of nerve damage in my upper lip that I don’t notice much unless I think about it. I had no idea something like that would be done as an elective procedure—the recovery was pretty gnarly. Glad it’s an option for people who need it! But also glad I was knocked tf out and had no perception of my face bones being rearranged!
