Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

January 7, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events

The emails have started increasing already, fielding requests for rental homes for February. And while my company doesn’t deal in rentals at all (try Bidegain Realty or Tucson Realty and Trust), the increased inquiries can only mean one thing.

It’s time for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

Okay, so it doesn’t happen until mid February, but typically, this city is filled to capacity during late January and early February. If you’re making a trip to Tucson during those months, you need to reserve a hotel room and a rental car NOW. Because some years, there is nary one to be found during the height of the Gem and Mineral Show.

Also – if you’re driving in for the show, be aware the main exits for downtown are closed as I-10 is still under a major construction project in that area. Exits are closed from 29th to Prince – plan accordingly.

44 East Broadway – Luxury Downtown Condos (August 25, 2008)
The first of two condo developments downtown now taking reservations is 44 East Broadway, which sits, coincidentally, at 44 East Broadway, between Stone and Scott, made from what used to be the 1979 Federal building. That first photo is from the 4th floor, looking generally Northwest.
Decidedly on the upscale side, condos here start at [...]
