nor quality of shopping that a richer city such as Scottsdale or a larger city such as New York City offers, it’s not devoid of retail hot spots. Tucson does have an assortment of clothing stores downtown and on Fourth Avenue, as well as five malls: Park Place Mall, El Con Mall, Tucson Mall, Foothills Mall and La Encantada. And for the hipsters, there are tons of used clothing stores as well. Additionally, Tucson is home to a bevy of antique stores (and a swap meet), which are just the places to satiate one’s desire to buy all sorts of odds and ends. Tucson is a tremendously diverse city with a million things going on. Mentioned above is a small taste of what Tucson has to offer, but there is so much more if you’re willing to look. And, if you cannot find enjoyment here, then yours is a problem that will plague you regardless of where you live. You are simply a boring person and need to stop blaming Tucson for your own shortcomings.

ISIS militants on social media: The violent radical group taking over parts of Iraq and Syria has been posting gory photos on Twitter to intimidate foes — as well as “cute” photos of kittens posing with machine guns to win friends. We’re not sold. These militant lolcats are not as adorable as they think.
