It was basically a good place to crash we we were to stoned to go home and face the inquisition of our parents. There is an artist here who makes 3" to 5" great "refridgerator" (sp) magnets of perfect replicas of all the old Tucson haunts like the Tiki, Vinces italian restaurant, the Thunderbird motel etc etc. I will post a pic tomorrow of the Tiki Motel magnet I bought last month. The No-tel Motel is still open I think but alot of the other old cool ones bit the dust long ago. check out this: http://www.pbase.com/bearpaw/tucson_at_night [ Edited by: drgoat456 2009-04-21 11:31 ]
