Why Tucson?

Tucson is smack dab in the middle of the Sonoran desert (think lush green and towering saguaro cacti rather than barren sand), and the city planners have taken great lengths to preserve the natural landscape, even in the middle of the hustle and bustle. One minute you’re in the middle of downtown, and then next, you find yourself back in the desert landscape.
