Riordan is the king of privatizers. As mayor he wanted to privatize the City’s main library. Today he is attempting to privatize the schools. In a heated exchange I asked him whether he wanted to make Olvera Street another MacDonald’s; he answered yes just so it went to the highest bidders.  Broad, a billionaire is his closest ally.
In Chicago the Daly Machine was the developers’ and bankers’ dream. In the windy city what was not being renewed was being gentrified. If it was not accomplished under the cover of the law, entire housing projects were burned out – all in the name of progress.
In the 1980s and 90s I wrote for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and the Los Angeles Times. In the aftermath of Community Under Siege, I naturally wrote many articles about the notion of community and issues related to urban space, i.e., immigrants, the cultural pimping of Olvera Street and museums, racism and sexism on the campuses, the building of a prison in East Los Angeles, the building of a gas pipeline under Boyle Heights – events showing a profound disrespect for Latinos.

Touch is almost 10 years old, but has never been produced in Tucson. Astronomer nerd Kyle Kalke (Christopher Johnson) tells us—a bit too long-windedly—about his two great passions: physics and the mysteries of the universe; and his improbable romance with Zoe, a free-spirited young lady who, after several years of blissful marriage, leaves for a brief trip to the store and never returns.
Her disappearance, and confirmation that she has met with foul play, leaves Kyle bereft. He tries to lose himself in his work. He won’t speak to any of Zoe’s family, and uncharacteristically takes up with a prostitute (played by Julia Matias), who is quite bemused with the young man she calls “John Sky.” Although crushed and spiritless, Kyle is ever the student, and the cosmos has plenty to teach.

As a Christian, I don’t understand Homosexuality. Likewise, I don’t understand Same Sex Marriages.. But I don’t condemn the individual(s) who may practice it! And I don’t think a church should do so either. And, further, I don’t think though that a church should use a societal, “popular issue,” and make it their own agenda as other churches do. That is compromise as far as I’m concerned. And it’s wrong! Regarding Homosexuality and same sex marriage as a Christian I know what is right and supposed to be for myself. I know what the scriptures say:
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (NIV)

Big changes are coming to Miracle Mile

TUCSON – Things are changing on Miracle Mile. Historical hotels are turning into new businesses and the economic outlook is looking good for the area.
Before the 1980’s, Miracle Mile flourished. It was the place to be, you might even say it was glamorous, but after that, it was all downhill. Drug dealers and prostitution took away the shine.
These days the somber tune of things is changing.
Monterey Court studio galleries just opened up on miracle mile – owner Greg Haver says over the last couple of months, business has already expanded.
“Miracle Mile certainly has a checkered past, but I think we’re trying to turn that page and go on to new and better things,” Haver said. “I’m extremely pleased with the response, it’s just overwhelming based on our Mercury Portal event.”

Posted: Dec 27, 2011 4:46 AM
TUCSON – Detectives say a known prostitute with an expensive drug habit is found dead back in July of 1997. The Pima County Medical Examiner’s office says the body was so badly decomposed, they couldn’t determine the cause of death.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Cold Case unit is now reviewing the case of Jeanette Brown.
She was 29 years old when she was found wrapped in a carpet and tossed off the side of cliff in Reddington Pass. On July 15, 1997 people whose car broke down and were walking to get help when they spotted a vehicle that had gone off a cliff. Detective Kelly Anderson says, “As they were investigating this car that looked like an accident they saw the body rolled up with the victim a little bit further down.”

There are some interesting insights to be drawn from Arizona being the “crazy state” in the national media. Certainly Arizona has had its fair share of lunacy recently, and all of these eruptions of strangeness must be dealt with, and owned up to, at the state level. But many of these ills are not unique to Arizona.
Though the media tends to portray it as an anomaly, Arizona is really just another state in the union, with all of the problems of the national entity. SB 1070 was quickly one upped by even harsher laws in such places as Alabama and South Carolina. Prison breaks and prostitution rings happen all across the country, and the questions these particular incidents raise (when does privatization go too far, and what are the limits of religious freedom) are puzzling concerns for all Americans.

The cast behind restoring the Tropicana sign reads like a scroll of movie credits. Buffalo Exchange funded the restoration carried out by Cook & Co. Signmakers. Jude Cook did the project management and layout; Scott Reeves and Isaac Reyes were responsible for crane and rigging work; Steve Gaspard did the wiring; Mike Spronken undertook the metal work and lettering; Sam Richardson was the neon man; layout and patters came courtesy of Rudy Florez; Mike Braun did the painting and Cisco Campista assembled the sign.
“My hope is by doing this we will help reshape how the city views this part of the city,” Clinco said. “Miracle Mile was the major entrance and exit to the city.”
When Interstate 10 first opened, Tucson had only three exits and one was Miracle Mile. But Miracle Mile’s decline started in the late 1960s as more freeway exits opened. Motel owners started selling their properties in 1972 and Clinco said the 1973 oil crises “killed it. It became synonymous with prostitution.”

The debate regarding the legalization of prostitution is a complex one. Sex is a socially sensitive issue and a private matter, so when debates start about the legalization of the solicitation of sex, things are bound to get heated … The problem with this discussion is that both arguments are based on an existing and continuing patriarchal, economically unequal, violent society that doesn’t allow for complete freedom and choice. Now, I realize there are male prostitutes, and not all sexual abuse is directed at women by men.  However, in a majority of cases, it is men that sexually abuse women and children (85 percent of domestic violence victims are women according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence), and a large majority of prostitutes are women.  My analysis of the issue is largely based on those generalities … When people discuss the right to choose to pay for sex, it seems like they ignore the woman’s right to choose to have sex in exchange for payment. Obvi …
