My Tucson Story
A City That Gets Under Your Skin
The first time I drove down Speedway at sunset and saw the Santa Catalina Mountains glowing copper and gold, I knew I was home. Tucson has a way of doing that — sneaking up on you, getting under your skin, becoming a part of who you are.
I've spent years exploring every corner of this city — from the hidden-gem taqueries in South Tucson to the world-class trails winding through Sabino Canyon. I've watched neighborhoods evolve, seen new restaurants and breweries bring fresh energy to downtown, and witnessed firsthand how Tucson's creative spirit keeps finding new ways to express itself.
As a REALTOR® with Long Realty, I get to help people find their place in this city — literally. There's nothing I love more than matching a client with the perfect neighborhood, whether they're drawn to the walkable charm of the Sam Hughes area, the stunning views of the Catalina Foothills, or the eclectic energy of the Dunbar Spring neighborhood.
I started this blog because I kept getting asked the same questions: Where should I eat? Where do locals hike? What neighborhoods should I look at? This is my answer — an ever-growing guide to the Tucson I know and love.

My Favorite Things About Tucson
The Food
Tucson is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy — and it shows. From legendary Mexican food to James Beard-nominated chefs.
The Outdoors
We have five mountain ranges, Saguaro National Park on both sides of the city, and incredible weather for outdoor adventure.
The Sunshine
Over 350 days of sunshine a year. Yes, summers are hot, but the light here is truly magical year-round.
The Events
From the Fourth Avenue Street Fair and Tucson Festival of Books to the Tucson Gem, Mineral Show and Tucson Rodeo. There's so much to do!
