This Christmas, Let’s Shop Local

With Christmas approaching, you may be scrambling to find last-minute gifts. Before running to chain department stores, consider a local business for presents this year. According to an Indie Impact Study Series by research firm Civic Economics, for every dollar spent at a locally owned business, 43 cents remains in the economy compared to only 13 cents when spent at a non-locally owned business. Shopping locally not only keeps our economy strong, but often leads to unique finds for the perfect holiday gift. Small downtown businesses offer options from indie accessories to books and treats. Pop Cycle is a popular source for local upcycled items, and has two in-house brands: DDCo design for functional stuff such as magnets, coat racks, and plaques, and Monster Booty Threads for your fas...

A Night of Remembrance: Tucson’s 34th annual All Souls Procession

The horn of a conch shell signals the beginning of the procession, led by women in ghostly white garb chanting and dancing to deep drumbeats. Urn ambassadors preparing to lead the procession. At first, the procession is relatively slow, stopping and starting to allow onlookers to write notes to be deposited into the large urn behind the leaders. One woman silently holds out a basket, an offer to accept a slip of paper inside; a memory, or perhaps a prayer, or a simple, “I miss you”. One of the Urn's attendants collecting notes from the crowd. The procession snakes its way up Grande, the quiet footsteps punctuated by the beats of participants’ loved ones’ favorite music or occasional teams of dancers. One woman dances relentlessly to a stream of Latin hip hop, a lit photo of a wo...
