I have talked to over 150 people of all ages and backgrounds and heard the full range of comments - from negative to funny to bizarre. Some people hate downtown but the majority love it and want to see it be better. Folks remember coming downtown to go shopping at the department stores, attend church services, get married, start a first job, view a first art exhibit, experience a first kiss, and so much more. I believe that these positive sentiments and memories can be tapped to move downtown forward in a way that both honors the history and embraces innovation.<br /><br />Year one focused on collecting these thoughts and stories. My plan for year two is to review the interviews and come up with a format to talk about the project with City Council (as mentioned in my interview in <a href="http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/local/104789.php">The Tucson Citizen</a>), downtown stakeholders, and the public. It is my hope that the voices of the public can contribute to preserving and improving the heart of Tucson.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for your participation and support! If you have any suggestions for presenting The Burrito Files to the community, please comment here!<br /><br />P.S. This blog contains interviews from September 2008 to April 2009. Interviews from April 2008 to August 2009 are posted at the <a href="http://www.downtownrevision.blogspot.com">Downtown re:VISION blog.</a>Julie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10700033817664058209noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472472530131993159.post-40132910807059275052009-04-23T16:20:00.000-07:002009-04-23T16:24:19.127-07:00The Burrito Files - Debbie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi93afluZmvh726qjfjBCJUsLsNcrOKNH_Rlrdm-ZxcOvG4WRHD7z4cndEb_jo_u3-Wz8bwoDmDbrJ3848V4jyqUSpj_z7eZNZ0JTOfCaVc2EgxkjqjHWEgUQkdk4etUtKQ0siYTAdkTCQ/s1600-h/Debbie.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi93afluZmvh726qjfjBCJUsLsNcrOKNH_Rlrdm-ZxcOvG4WRHD7z4cndEb_jo_u3-Wz8bwoDmDbrJ3848V4jyqUSpj_z7eZNZ0JTOfCaVc2EgxkjqjHWEgUQkdk4etUtKQ0siYTAdkTCQ/s400/Debbie.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328031300424373266" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Are you a Tucson native?</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">If not, where are you from? </span>I live in Arlington, Texas.

Sunday, March 1, 2009<br /><br />Walk through the streets of downtown Tucson and you will find multiple FOR RENT signs on every block. While that may be discouraging to some Tucsonans, a group of artists sees these spaces as blank canvases. In the Downtown Scavenger Hunt on March 1, participants will be given clues to find 10 locations, each one with a short activity that will encourage them to engage with the current environment, reflect upon the historic record, and imagine future possibilities for the space. The resulting photography and writings will be displayed in the future at a time and venue TBA.<br /><br />Clues and instructions can be picked up at Shot in the Dark Café, 121 East Broadway Blvd. between 12pm and 2pm.<br /><br />Downtown Scavenger Hunt is free and appropriate for all ages.<br /><br />Downtown Scavenger Hunt is the inaugural project of POP UP SPACES, a collaboration between artists Rachelle Diaz of Tu Scene, Molly McClintock of MAXED ART and Julie Ray of The Burrito Files. POP UP SPACES seeks to produce temporary, interactive, site-specific installations in empty spaces in which the visitors are not just expected to be passive viewers, but asked to be active participants. The goal of these art-based experiences is to enhance economic vitality and public engagement in downtown Tucson through promotion of the area's culture, history, architecture and business community.<br /><br />More info at the <a href="http://www.popupspaces.org">POP UP SPACES website</a>.<br /><br />Complete the Hunt and enter a Drawing to Win a special prize regarding Historical Downtown Tucson!Julie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10700033817664058209noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472472530131993159.post-76155859271380757012009-01-20T08:12:00.000-08:002009-01-20T08:15:19.491-08:00Weigh In On The Future of The Burrito FilesHi friends,<br /><br />In the spirit of change and inclusion, I'd like your thoughts on what The Burrito Files should focus on next. I've interviewed over 150 people, collected lots of interesting and juicy ideas and stories, and received some great news coverage. Now what?<br /><br />My thought is to focus on a specific downtown issue and work on making a real impact. Another possibility is to come up with creative ways of displaying and presenting the "data" I've collected.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />Thanks for your input!<br /><br />JulieJulie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10700033817664058209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472472530131993159.post-28620599526902763922009-01-18T17:35:00.000-08:002009-01-18T17:38:37.361-08:00The Burrito Files - Sheila<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitl6HpRYqp_9bK9bxokBcThx3saozycXnVmYc8tGsrE0oJmiw3LL8VU-0NJuIsYoXhyphenhyphenmNtJHGfUvfMjmkW-YfkjYWljSpW9IPOjwJJrMCukXWV0rRs8gH1CO-9FymbgovIpZSOZUDzfQo/s1600-h/IMG_6774.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitl6HpRYqp_9bK9bxokBcThx3saozycXnVmYc8tGsrE0oJmiw3LL8VU-0NJuIsYoXhyphenhyphenmNtJHGfUvfMjmkW-YfkjYWljSpW9IPOjwJJrMCukXWV0rRs8gH1CO-9FymbgovIpZSOZUDzfQo/s400/IMG_6774.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292812817229336626" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Are you a Tucson native?</span> No. New England and proud of it.
