This has been one of the jewels of Tucson for 70 years. The architecture (with the exception of the ruined #WholeFoods) is gorgeous. and timeless. But recently it has become a nightmare. Traffic engineers created a mess with their "Michigan turns" at the intersection, making it ridiculous getting out of the center. I avoid the center as much as possible and now go out of my way just to keep from having to go there. People exiting at Via Ponte pull out and block the right turn lane in order to try to get into the left lane to turn at Ina, adding to the congestion. People are constantly running the red light at Via Ponte and Ina and I have personally witnessed three wrecks and four near misses. The light there takes a ridiculous amount of time and normally allows only about three cars through per change. If that was not bad enough, the center is now rife with panhandlers.

They even have a sprouts and a Starbucks and a couple of fast-food chains as well. there is parking in the front but it is limited but there is more parking in the back but it I'm busier days and even during the holidays it might be a little hard finding parking so just good luck with that. There's even some of the restaurants here as well. But all in all it is fun to walk around because they do have little corridors that go through here and there that make it interesting they have some statues and they keep up with the flowers in pots so overall it's a nice place to shop. I also felt pretty safe here the parking lot is light it up and it isn't a busy intersections so at night or very early in the morning it should be okay for...
