This grew to become the boulevard and lots of cement meaning this no more seems pleasant in order to individuals or even leave. It appears that is just about all Tucson understands nowadays would be to bulldoze every thing toned plus they question the reason why it is obtaining warmer along with increasingly more cement as well as much less as well as much less vegetation. These people made heaven as well as set up the car parking great deal may be the tale associated with caring Tucson as well as my personal more than ten years associated with having home presently there. It is tragic is actually exactly what it's as well as We maintain asking-- exactly where perform the actual leave animals proceed right now!<br /><br /><a href="http://lol.mmo18.com/" rel="nofollow">LOL elo boosting</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://fifa14.mmo18.com/" rel="nofollow">Fifa 14 Ultimate Team Coins</a>FUT 14 Coinshttp://fifa14.mmo18.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-11081877838677927712011-08-14T08:30:10.574-07:002011-08-14T08:30:10.574-07:00Gee, Ashleigh...I didn't think they called the...Gee, Ashleigh...I didn't think they called them jug-handles anywhere other than New Jersey! I just found you on an e-mail from BlogHer. My husband and I will be moving to Silver City, NM sometime soon so I'm told we'll practically be neighbors (by our friends in NM who go to Tucson all the time!) In Silver City it's still pretty rural. I like that. I don't know why the Arizona cities seem to take away the Arizonaness that is so beautiful and almost turn the cities into Eastern cities. I've seen that in several visits to Phoenix. Regardless, I love Tucson and can't wait to visit when we get moved.

Sometimees I think I see a skinny lil doppelganger of myself on that bike in the desert. Tucson's been doing this stuff since day one, it seems...my dad used to tell us about how it was all desert east of Country Club.<br /><br />The good news is the stuff like they are doing along the Rillito/Pantano/Santa Cruz with the bike and walking paths. I ride the Rillito from Craycroft north and the wildlife in there is fantastic, from coyotes down to lizards its quite abundant. We used to bike the smaller arroyos too, so hey, 'they/we' are preserving some of Tucson...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-37374924920000384982011-08-12T10:11:40.864-07:002011-08-12T10:11:40.864-07:00No, you're not alone.

Now I'm a snow bird (one of the people we used to make fun of!) for the winter weather. It was so strange being back and seeing the amount of change. Tucson is destroying and paving the very things that made it wonderful and not Phoenix. It's very depressing.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-38419307258545474102011-08-12T09:51:00.312-07:002011-08-12T09:51:00.312-07:00Gosh, don't get me started.

Those 10 acres are right behind my house. I already hear them preparing the property behind us and all I want to do is cry. While I understand the need for homes, I wish they would try and preserve as many trees as possible--instead of clear-cutting everything down. <br /><br />Our neighborhood is full of trees and we all bought here for that reason. I love trees and I want them to stay. But our county is more interested in the tax revenue from the homes being built. Many of us have fought to keep the trees, but I don't think the builder coming in is going to leave any of them. It makes me very sad...<br /><br />Have a good weekend. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-81764396925605079152011-08-12T08:53:30.508-07:002011-08-12T08:53:30.508-07:00I knew I was not alone!!

It became a boulevard and a lot of concrete which means it no longer feels friendly to people or desert. It seems that's all Tucson knows these days is to bulldoze everything flat and they wonder why it's getting hotter with more and more concrete and less and less plants. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot is the story of loving Tucson and my over 10 years of owning property there. It's heartbreaking is what it is and I keep asking-- where do the desert creatures go now!Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-36280810704283752472011-08-12T06:41:10.500-07:002011-08-12T06:41:10.500-07:00So, in New Jersey once they start paving, they can...So, in New Jersey once they start paving, they can't seem to stop, like the entire state has some kind of asphalt fume addiction. I have watched them tear up trees that were majestic, shade providing giants to smooth the way for the amount of cars that rival California's freeway traffic (but its such a little state!). But also in Jersey are some magnificent center strips that have been seeded with wildflowers and I look forward to seeing them each Spring as they taunt the highway blight which surrounds them. I get the fact that paving the way is a good thing, but breathing the flowers is too!hyo cynthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603290675961478643noreply@blogger.com
