The City of Tucson’s Historic Preservation and Sustainability programs are organizing the Sustainable Historic Home Tour on April 26,
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This self-guided open house tour will feature historic homes in Tucson that have been “green retrofitted” to be more sustainable, while remaining sensitive to their historic
characters. Participants will travel to locations identified on a map, where the property owners and volunteers will provide information and
tours.“People will not only get to learn about the benefits of retrofitting their homes but also learn about the history of our community,” said
Ward 5 Councilmember Richard Fimbres. “Many of the homes are in my Ward and I am proud that the homeowners have taken these steps for
better sustainability, preserving Tucson’s history and our environment.”

It's October in Tucson. This means jam-packed weekends, full of exciting events.
This weekend is particularly busy, as is evidenced by the front page of today's Arizona Daily Star— a veritable advertisement for what's happening downtown.
Events not on the front page of the Star– Occupy Tucson's anniversary and Democracy Now's Amy Goodman– are as interesting as what is there.
Yes, this is the weekend for umpteenth annual Tucson Meet Yourself, but those of you who were around and aware of Occupy Wall Street last October know that Tucson Meet Yourself weekend is also the anniversary of Occupy Tucson.
It's not surprising that the Arizona Daily Star chose to ignore Occupy Tucson's anniversary festivities; they stood solidly with other corporate media outlets in trying to ignore the Occupy Wall Street movement last year.
Goodman's talk– which is also a KXCI fundraiser— is today, October 13, at 1 p.m. at the Fox Theater. This Tucson stop is part of her book tour. The Silenced Majority: Stories Of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance and Hope shows how the work of ordinary people (aka The Silenced Majority) is pulling back the veil of corporate media and changing the world. Antigone Books will have books for sale at the event
Check out a list of Occupy Tucson's weekend festivities, after the jump.
