I didn’t like Tucson… There, I said it
I’ve been to other parts of Arizona that I found much more attractive. I mean, not so attractive I’d pack up and move there.. But attractive enough to keep me entranced to the point that I wouldn’t object another visit. And then there was Tucson…
Even while searching what to do in Tucson I came across a blogspot blog titled ‘Tucson AZ Sucks‘ adorned with the tag line ‘A Place Where Dreams Go To Die’.
Apparently I’m not the only one. I even found a hilarious map of Arizona and New Mexico with the area stretching from Tucson to just outside Las Cruces highlighted in yellow and big bold letters laid overtop saying ‘USELESS’. I can’t say I felt dissimilar.
And nothing bad happened here to turn me against Tucson. I just didn’t like it.
The only things I found visually appealing were Saguaro National Park, and it’s nearby Picture Rocks.
Maybe I didn’t spend enough time there, but I just don’t see my ass willingly going back. I can’t help but feel in the summer especially it must be pure, unadulterated hell on Earth. I also feel that I could apply this to the whole region encompassing Tucson stretching clear over to Las Cruces. Sorry Sonoran Desert, you just don’t do it for me.
After coming back home and talking to the Tucson snowbirds that are back in Alaska for the summer I was told that I clearly missed the arts scene and the cute downtown area, but I don’t see me revisiting for those. I 100% find the landscapes around here where I live photographically pleasing, whereas I found the look I had around Tucson, well, completely uninspiring.
So there, I didn’t like Tucson.
And don’t get all butthurt people, at least I didn’t tear it to shreds like all the websites and forums that I found online dedicated to people’s hatred of Tucson.
And do not take this as a recommendation to not visit. If you wanna go, knock yourself out, buy that ticket and go. Who knows, maybe you’ll love it. I just didn’t.
PS: Mom, I’m still sorry you were born there.
Love it? Hate it? What do you think of Tucson?
