Gourds and hand-carved totems and faces and the U.S. Postal Service; mailbox as installation art, somewhere near midtown.

"Streets of This Town" is a little photo series featuring random pics I take on long walks through Tucson—to sort of coincide with Tucson Salvage.

For all the boosters boasting of Tucson's financial turnaround, I walk these streets almost nightly and am quietly taken by the levels of abandonment—hollowed out storefronts, houses, gas stations, on major and minor streets. No craft cocktails on 22nd Street and Alvernon.

Lovely trailer court between Flower and Grant Rd. We turned pink and orange for a whole five minutes as the sun dropped.

Found this motorcycle graveyard in a neighborhood behind Grant Road and Alvernon.

This little photo series will feature random pics I take on long walks through Tucson—to sort of coincide with my column Tucson Salvage. It's called "Streets of this Town" and it begins today.

I met this guy Dan at Navajo near Stone Ave. He was selling is lovely blue-nose pit Romeo for $200. I didn't have $200.

Today's the day! The results are in for Best of Tucson. You can read up on the winners here, but you should pick up a physical copy and keep it in your glove compartment for the next time you find yourself in need of a veterinarian, comic book or a really good veggie burger. 

The other reason you should pick up a copy of the paper is to enjoy the lotería cards our in-house graphic designer Oliver Muñoz made for the issue. It's been a few years since we've had any made-for-Best-Of-Tucson illustrations, and we're pretty excited about it. 

Below is a slideshow of the 11 cards (we're just 43 cards short of a functional deck!) and the cover Oliver made for us.
