A photographic celebration of the city of Tucson, AZ
The University of Arizona, in Tucson, AZ, is an important part of the city. It provides many jobs as well as advanced education for many of its citizens. The U of A Wildcats spots teams provide entertainment for many in the city and across the country as well. These are some photos of the campus, focusing on much of the interesting architecture that can be seen there.
1 Old Main is the original building that housed the entire university when it opened its doors on October 1, 1891.
There are many motels along Miracle Mile and Oracle roads that hearken back to another era. Their signs are as unique and colorful as the characters that you are likely to meet inside.

From the Rattlesnake Bridge at the eastern end of downtown to the brightly colored buildings of La Placita Village, downtown Tucson has a lot of character. The aging barrios contrast with more modern high-rises, blending old and new.
1 A unique and controversial structure, the Rattlesnake Bridge is also known as “The Bridge to Nowhere.” The tail rattles when you walk by, and the structure greets you as you enter downtown on Broadway from the east, or bids you goodbye as you leave.
