If you post about damage to objects more than unjust killings/ brutality, your are officially an asshole

"destruction"

I'd argue black men being executed is the real destruction.

I ask this as someone trying to come clean about my own complicity in a system that's always privileged me: Who are the savages?

A report was generated on my post asking for politics not to be involved in this forum.

Is it political to think life is more valuable than property?

If it is, I'm happy to delete.

And if it is political to think that.... holy shit!!!!

I think KingG was being sarcastic.

I have so little understanding of what that "political" accusation has come to mean, I'm half suspicious the "Hey! That's political!" response is itself political, and intended to divert all actual discussion about life to a single, publicly unavailable board on this site that the accusers in turn accuse as being an echo chamber. Like a microcosm of how all non-hate normative discussion in this country gets shut down.

Reads like the current owners are abandoning it and the county will need to find a new operator. Good luck with that.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Tue Sep 08, 2020 1:37 pm

In normal times they could.. now...no. I'd expect it to become an actual abandoned ghost town now, at least for a few years.

Same lessee since 1973. Now the lease is canceled without penalty.

I bet for quite awhile they've been making the majority of their money off Nightfall (Halloween festival). With no potential for that this year they were done.

Tucson dinosaur lives another day after group calls for removal

https://kvoa.com/news/2020/09/16/tucson ... 4kQCO0jMco" target="_blank

On Aug. 15, a member of the Facebook group "Christians Against Dinosaurs," which has more than 28,000 members, posted about asking people to call the McDonald's and have them take it down.

"Well, the simple truth is that there is no such thing as dinosaurs and there was never anything such as dinosaurs," said Norbert Lutoslawski, a member of the Facebook group.

"I would be willing to bet without even looking that homicide stats have risen since the dinosaur has been there... addiction rates, unemployment all types of negative energies," said Gerard James, another member of Christians Against Dinosaurs. "There is just no real proof for dinosaurs and we challenge anyone who will tell us we are wrong."

sigh

Stopped by the small Covid safe Tucson Meet Yourself today at the Mercado and got some Jamaican goat curry and a red chile fry bread taco. So fucking good. Kind of a weird setup since it is to go only but it felt nice because I haven't gone out anywhere in months.

Sorry, didn't see the report earlier. I cleared it. I think your post is fine.

Cafe Poca Cosa, Elvira's, Downtown Kitchen and now Independent Distillery have all closed for good.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Wed May 26, 2021 2:04 pm

Wife and I are doing a downtown evening anniversary night very soon. Plan on getting dinner / bar hopping / hotel / and then brunch in the am.

I know we are having the brunch at The Cup but everything else is in the air. I still need to see what's still open and what's closed up.

Any suggestions?

Man the wife and I miss brunch at Cups

Stop by Iron Johns brewing

Jefe · Post by **Jefe** » Wed May 26, 2021 4:45 pm

La Chingada Cocina's food is incredible and they have great drinks. Reillys just reopened yesterday. Charro Del Rey for seafood. Portal or Owls club for a late night cocktail is a must. Borlderands is also great for beers and margaritas and live music at night.

Im hesitant to go downtown after dark on the weekends anymore. Just not the same since 3/4 of the best places closed.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Wed May 26, 2021 5:45 pm

I think La Cocina is closed (love that Place)

And we did decide on Charro Del Rey (never been and we don't really eat meat anymore.... so it sounds like a great cheat!)

And Jefe- "Portal"? Do you mean Penca? (That place is great)

La Cocina is now LaCo and has not reopened yet.

Portal is just under the bridge on 4th behind Hermanos. A lot of people don't know about it. Very unique drinks and the bar was built by Rob Paulus: https://archello.com/project/portal-cocktails

I would also check out Moonstone at the Graduate Hotel on campus. 15th floor bar/snacks with amazing views. Go there for a sunset

My daughter tried to take her husband to downtown Tucson for the first time last night and bailed out because of the crowds from this two night concert at the Rialto:

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Wed Feb 23, 2022 3:32 pm

I would not see an ICP concert for free.

This is more my speed, love these 2 acts tomorrow night. Although I find "Vincent" a much better song than "American Pie", along with "On the Border" over "Year of the Cat" although all are good.

Don McLean with Special Guest Al Stewart

Is Oswalt back touring? He broke his leg and had to cancel a bunch of shows recently.

Reilly's is still just terrific. I had the rigatoni with vodka sauce.

Tucson Estates makes no sense since that's basically trailers out in the desert west of town.

My wife has fallen in love with The Monica downtown. She's visited 5 times in the past week. Taking ALL her friends. I enjoyed the vibe and food was solid.
