House ad · From Tucson Weekender
Sponsor Tucson Weekender
One local business per issue, clearly labeled, in your own 40–60 words. Never a shared slot. (Our own ad. No business sponsored this issue.)
Kebab King
Royal decree pending: all skewers must face the same direction.
Thirsty Saguaro
At last, someone is getting that poor cactus a drink.
La Mexicana Aguas Frescas y Mas
Our official, totally unscientific position: horchata is a food group.
Crumbs and Keepsakes
Keep the keepsakes. The crumbs are evidence.
Sonoran Golden Barrel Cactus
The ideal houseguest: drinks almost nothing, but please don't hug it.
Treasureday
We're lobbying to make Treasureday a real day of the week. (We won't win.)
Zhadana
No idea what it means. We'd still shout it across a parking lot.
Chonky Cat Noodle
A noodle truck named after a round cat. We already have a favorite menu item, and we haven't seen the menu.
Confection Connection
Sounds like a candy dating app. We'd swipe right.
Bugs4Fun
A stationery shop called Bugs4Fun. We have questions, and all of them involve googly eyes.
