THE PINK ROUTE IS BACK!!

During the summer months we offer the pink route as an option for your run or walk. The pink route (on the pink route guides) is more residential than business and is three miles long. You will go south past Armory Park, then left to Ott and through the beautiful Armory Park Del Sol neighborhood, then west to Meyer St. and more beautiful homes. You will pass El Tiradito Shrine on Main, then north on Cushing Street to Stone and past the magnificent St. Augustine Cathedral to Congress St. and back to Maynards.

What a beautiful sight it was…30 MMM Athletes digging, planting, raking, sweeping…making our TCC west entrance beautiful again. We partnered with Linkages, who did the preparation and planning for the project. MMM turned out the enthusiastic folks for 75 minutes of work. Our sponsor for the project was TMC, who helped pay for the supplies. Thank you to everyone who

made this work so perfectly. You are all amazing!!

Be watching for our next downtown/4th Avenue beautification project. :-)

We hope that you join us for the Meet Me Downtown 5K run/walk on Saturday, June 4 at 7:00 pm. Runners and walkers can see one of two movies after the race at no charge. What are the movies and where will they be shown?

The first person to email (just hit “reply”) the correct answer will receive a $5 Delectables gift certificate at MMM on Monday. You must be present on Monday to receive your prize. Otherwise, it goes into the regular drawing. You may win the trivia contest once every three months.

Last week’s winner:  Stephan Przybylowicz

Last week’s question: Parking is free after 5:00 pm at parking meters in downtown Tucson. In what year did the City of Tucson install its first parking meters? How many minutes did one get for a penny in that year?

Answer: 1948…12 minutes
